AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! Mns. C. W. Dennison wrote “That Husband of Mine.” Pennsylvania Republicans admit now that their State will.go Democratic by 1,000 in November. The National Republican says that the Georgians are the most persistent of all Southern office-seekers now in Washing ton. Harper’s Razar says that the fonr boxes that rnle the world are the ballot box, the jnry box, (ho cartridge box and the band box. Adoubtin Daly makes his actresses practice langhing, so as to prodnce a sil very, rippling laugh to order, at the right moment. Sayleb is in Washington and entered the list of candidates for the Speakership. He says he will make the best contest he oan for the prize, and next to himself he favors Randall. The Democratic victory in Ohio proves, after all, to bo a positive surpriso to the Republicans. Secretary Sherman is quito despondent over it, but other members of tho Administration attribute it to the labor and greenback issue, and perhaps local causos. Yesterday it was a Boston savings bank, says tho New York Republic. The average is only about one failure a day. It will require several years at this rate to wind up savings banks and oompel tbo Government to issue an inter-convertible bond into which tho poople can put their savings with perfect safety. The ohild actress, Mabel Leonard, was again on tho witness stand in New York Tuesday, and statod that she ran away from Mrs. Harriot (Clara Morris) because she was afraid tho (Society for the Proven tion of Oruolty to Children would put her in an asylum. Now York children must have peculiar idoas of tho terrors of that city. Fednandina is issuing about two thou sand rations. There is no work, aud all hove to bo fed by the city. With the supplies out off, there is a prospect of starvation for tho peoplo unless something is done for their relief. This comes from tho Mayor of Fornandina. Will not tho ministers appeal to thoir congregations to-morrow for aid, to relieve a sorely af flicted peoplo ? The census of 1870 shows an excess of females over males as follows: In Ala bama, 19,510; District of Columbia, 7810; Goorgiu, 26,199; Louisiana, 2385; Mary land, 10,920; North Carolina, 83,953; South Carolina, 35,828; Virginia, 31,097; making a total surplus of 167,220 in tho Atlontio and Gulf Southern States. Of this, though, a very largo proportion i» among the colorod poople. Puck, for tho current week, says tho Baltimore Gazette, represents Cokling as Mephistopheles looking with disgust at Hayes, who as Faust is walking off with his arm around the solid South, Tho solid South is a plump girl in a pull-back, but if Puck thinks Mr. Hayos will bo able to betray her on Faust did Marguerite, it is mistakon. Tho Holid South ia a very prndont, proper aud well-behaved girl, who knows how to take care of herself. The announcement that General Harlan had been determined upon for tho vacan cy on the Supreme Bench is not very fa vorably received by tho Southern mem bers now in tho city. They claim that the selection should have boon of u per son more thoroughly identified with South ern interests aud less radical in his politi cal views. Judging from these facts, u contest is likely over his confirmation. In his report to Congress, Secretary McCreary will include a review of the oondition of tho work of compiling the arohievos of the Southern Confederacy. Six thousand dollars were appropriated last winter for tho pay of the oiorks en gaged in this work. Tho object of tho compilation and classification ia to have the arohievos published as publio docu ments. The work of proparing them is about half oompletod. It is in charge of Adjutant General Townsend. It is said an effort will be made to set tle the disputes respecting the Louisiana and South Carolina Senatorships in a summary manner when Congress meets. The plan is to move that Spofford, Eustis and Butler bo sworn in, whenever the motion to admit Stanley Matthows, Don Cameron and Armstrong is made, and it is believed there aro enough Republican Senators, anxious to avoid a debate on the Louisiana case who will vote for this motion, to make a majority with the Democratio vote. An Important Question.—The next Legislature of Georgia elects a United States Senator to succeed Gon. Gordon. We believe it is the earnest wish of the majority of the people of Georgia that Gen. Gordon should be his own successor. The proposition is toh • ave a scrub race in this county for Representatives and Senator. The field is opeu, the track in splendid condition and a puree of four dollars a day for forty days, is ' the prize for the winning horse, so trot ’em out. Each candidate must declare for whom he will vote for Senator. If against Gor don he is sure to be defeated. All must give expression to their views, as the peo ple will require it. London, Ootober 12. — The Finan cier says the suspension of an old established firm in the North, in the grain trade, with branches at Califor nia and Valparaiso was currently men tioned yesterday, and generally believed, though there was no regular confirmation of the report up to the close of business. THE I'KKNGII EJECTIONS. They take place Sunday. President MacMahon and his advisers claim that they will have twenty majority in the House of Deputies. To secure this they will use the army, and the arbitrary laws that are in vogue to suppress papers, men, and muzzle every speoies of oppo sition. Notwithstanding the terrible odds against which they have to contend, the Republicans are very confident that they will have the support of the people, and their candidates will win over those nom inated by the Government. It is a se rious problem whether Republicanism can ever be established in volatile,excit able France where a striking epigram is adopted as a national principle. Acts are committed by their President whioh are doomed anomalies in onr land. Mac Mahon's ideas are all of absolutism. Re publican France has not an iota of the freedom of monsrohial England. The Frenoh President daily does that whioh tho constitutional sovereign of Britain wonld not dare attempt. The press of England is free; in Franoe it is subject to a rigid censorship, nnder oontrol of the Government. France, as yet, has con ceived no idea of what a Repnblio is. The Republicans hope, if they win in Sunday’s contest, to foroe MacMahon to resign. Ho has signified his intention to hold to power until his term of seven years expires, in 1880. It is hinted also that if an opposition House of Deputies is chosen, be will endeavor to annul the election. The Republicans claim that he is inflaonood by the Bonap&rtists, Cleri cals and Monarchists, and really favors a restoration of the Empire. The result of to-morrow is looked for with great interest, especially by Ger many and Italy. M. Gambetta and the Republicans favon M. Grovy, the Pfesi- dont of the last Assembly, as MaoMahon’s successor. Probably in the last moment, the Government, if it sees that an adverse judgment is inevitable, may attempt a coup d' etat,'and do something startling. In the eleotion whioh occurred in the spring of 1876 7,370,000 votes wore re corded. Of these 58 per cent, wore in fa vor of Republicanism; 20 per cent. Mon archy, Bourbons or Orloanist; 18 per cent. Bonapartint, and 2 per oent. not specified —the ballots being lost. Every depart ment returned at least one Republican candidate. In only six departments was thero but one, while in thirty depart ments nil the candidates returned were Republicans, and in twenty-seven only was thero an anti-Republioan majority. Gertainly nothing has occurred in the las* 1 eighteen months calculated to lessen the number of Republicans. On the contra ry, such has been tbo course of the Gov ernment that the poople, if permitted to vote ns thoy please, are likely to vote the Government down by an overwhelming majority. A brilliant writer in the Journal den J)ebaUt thus speaks of MaoMahon’s deter mination not to resign, no matter how tho elootions go : “It is the old times repeated—‘Do as you will, Hay what you like, 1 am not gos ing to quit.’ Just bo, Louis XVI would not quit, nor wonld Napoleon I, nor Charles X, nor Louis Philippe, nor Napo leon the Last. They would not quit, but they havo gone for all that,” VIEW* or VICK PRESIDENT ELECT HENDRICKS. Govornor liendrioks arrived in New York a few days since, from Europe. He is regarded all over tho United States as the Vico ProBident-oloot, though he was not tho choice of the Electoral Commis sion, whioh was composed of a majority of Republicans. Nobody, now-a-dayH, baH tho ohook to deolare that Hayes was over eleoted to the offioe he holds. His friends Himply claim that tho decision of tbo Electoral Commission gave him a valid title. His Southern policy is Dem ocracy, pure and simple. Governor Hendricks was serenaded in Now York and gave a graphic acconnt of his European trip. The Governor intends returning to Indianapolis and engaging in the praotioe of law. In conversation, speaking of the pres ent Administration, he said that it* was difficult to imagine where Mr. Hayes would eventually land his party, lie thought that those who seemed to suppose that the Administration would oaptnro tho Domooratio party would find themselves mistaken. It was his opinion, however, that tho Democratio party would do by Mr. Hayes as they did by Andrew Johnson—sustain him so far as they thought ho was right. The Demo- oratic party had boon fighting for tho principle of local self-government in the South for years, and in so far as tho President carried out that doctrine they would sustain him, because they believed it was right. The ex-Governor remarked that the only disgusted man he met in Europe was the Hon. Rosooe Coukliug, whom he saw at the Windsor Hotel, Paris. The Windsor, he said, was a very high-toned, hostelry, and patronized by the moat dis tinguished travelers. Mr. Gonkling had just paid $1 20 for a part of a chicken— a wing or some such choice moreel—and that, or something else, had disgusted him with not only Paris but Europe. Bishop E. M. Marvin, of the M. E. church, is preparing a book about his late trip around the world, whioh will be pub lished by Bryan, Brand «!fc Co., of St. Louis, about Deoomber 1st. It will con tain 500 or rnoro octavo pages, illustrated with a fine steel portrait of the Bishop and a number of engravings. Tho Bish op’s powors of description are good, and tho book cannot fail to be interesting. But it will be of speoial interest to Chris tians of all denominations, as it will give an account of the condition, past and present, of the great missionary fields in heathen lands, with the probable fnture results. The Bishop was in India during the prevalence of the great famine, dur ing which 750,000 people starved to death, and his book will contain graphio descrip tions of what he saw there. The most intimate friends of the Presi dent say he is not surprised at the result in Ohio. In fact, it was anticipated, on the ground, mainly, that the State for several years has been gradually becom ing more and mure friendly to the doc trine of inflation. Hard times also had ah influence, and the Workingmen’s ticket inured to the benefit of the Democrats, and this being an off year, there was much indifference on the part of Republicans. The election could not be called a rebuke to the Administration, because tho Demo crats themselves claim to be in favor of civil service reform and the Southern policy. A. CARD.
