Vice President YVheeler lell Wash

ami it became necessary to elect a
President pro trio, of the Senate, and
the body, by ten majority, elected
Senator Thurman lo Unit position.
Senator Ferry, whom (lie Republi
cans voted for, remarked to Thur
man, as he was conducting him to
the chair, “turn about is fair play.’
Thurman’s address was a model one
We recommend it to all. It didn’t oc
cupy a minute. He simply expressed
thanks, and tlmt was all. Senator
Thurman is now the acknowledged
Democratic leader in Congress, lie
is said to have the best private library
in the United States. He is a dili
gent student. As a statesman bis
acts speak for themselves. We be
lieve ut the present time he stands
the best ohauce for the Presidential
nomination in lsso. Judge Thur
man is now sixty-six years of age,
having been born in Lynchburg,
Virginia, on November 18th, 1818.
He removed to Ohio in 1810. He
was admitted to the bar 1835, was a
Representative from Ohio in the
Twenty-ninth Congress, was elected
a judge of the Supremo Court
of that State in 1851, and was
Chief Justice from 1854 to ls'sS; was
the Democratic candidate for (invent

F. Wade, a Republican, took his seat
March 4th, 1800, and was re-elected
in ls74. His term of service will ex

await him if the Democrats do their
duty, and the South expresses in the
.National Convention her own prefer
ence.
Thk ease of the newly elected Mayor
of Cincinnati lias taken another queer
turn. Tho other morning it was alleg

for the purpose of making all its

they saw a similar state of tilings ex

what will happen. Ile 1ms for some
years thought tliut at any time a

most anything might he looked for.
Later advices represent that the
hegirnlms ceased. Ignorant colored
preachers have hud more to do with
the movement than any one else, and
they were stimulated by worse Radi

railroad agents.
Colonel A. D. Ranks, of Mississip

that all ids negro farmers have left.
He leased his land entirely, and ro
lled on a negro overseer to manage
ids affairs, while lie spent most of ids

condemnation to fire tlie Northern
heart which the press agents wired
industriously. The cause was tor-'
rifle. A Norfolk military company
visited Washington. They wore
their gray uniforms and carried a
company flag, some fancy one pre
sented by lady friends. They were
received at Washington by a com
pany of that city composed
mainly of department clerks, and
commanded by a clerk wlio
had been a fighter in the Federal
army during the late revolution. He
bad merely a company flag. Hosts
and guests marched to the armory,
floating from which were the national
colors, went under them and into tlie
hull where United States flags and
ornamentation were visible every
where. Because neither company on
the street carried a United States
flag, and because the Virginians wore
gray, the cannalle of tin* Grand
Army of the Republic raised a howl.
It was (he gray that frightened them.
Tlmt neutral tint so pleasant to wear
has for many years struck terror to
their hearts. The Virginians lmd a
good, jolly visit, and returned to
their homes, and wonderful to tell,
the Government still exists. That
“(Jrand Army” is composed of such
generous, ehivalric warriors as to ex
cite the world’s admiration. Revo
lution was averted by their daring
condemnatory resolution. It made
the wearers of the gray tremble in

the whole country laugh. Afraid of

The above figures indicate a de
crease in failures of S,‘U hr number
during the quarter, or a falling off
of 25 per cent, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of last year.
In the amount of liabilities, how
ever, a much greater reduction is
shown; the failures for the last tluvt
moulds being only slightly in execs:*
of one-lmlf in amount of those for a
similar period of 1878, and considera
bly loss than those for 1S77.
From the way Republican news
papers magnify the moving of two or
| three thousand negroes to Kansas, a
j foreigner would suppose tho ontiro
negro race had struck touts, pulled up
stakes and gono West, bag and baggage,
scrip and scrippago, to grow up with
the country.
As matters stand at prosont it looks
as if Mayor Cooper would got control
of tho polico depart in out, and Govornor
Robinson 1ms appointed a now county
•lork and an ofiort is being mado to
mst tlio sheriff'. As tlio Govornor and
Mayor aro warm friends of Mr Tildon
this will insure much change among
office holders under thoso now ofllcers,
consequently before May 1880, tlio Til-
Ion wing may have tho power to secure
Tammany Hall, when tlmt will bo tho
“regular organization” and for Tildon.
lourso precludes tho idea that
Mayor Coopor desiros a place on tlio
national ticket for himself.
Tho now apportionment bill gives
this city and Brooklyn moro members
of tho assembly and Sonato than the
', which will give tlio Democrats
moro power, as ordinarily that party
carrion every district in both cities.
Dissensions in Jersoy City have lost
tho Democracy much power thoro as
well as hero and in Brooklyn. Tlio
same troublo as in Now York—offices
too valuable and not enough offices for
the voters.
A good laugh is always conducive to
health, and such I have enjoyed sev
eral times, witnessing tho lino acting
of Agnes Booth, Sydney Correll, Min-,
nio Qaliner and Jim Lewis, in “En
gaged.” Thoro is no hotter sliq>v than
thoso four afford. You may recollect
Lewis as “littlo Lewis,” who was witli
“tlio Menken” during lior trip South
“whon you and 1 wore boys,” ns will
many of your now good steady “ben
edicts,” who as boys, in company witli
tlie writer, escorted “Monkeu” to tho
Muscogee depot—a love-struck crowd
of cigar-smoking urchins she left that
day behind.
llavnum’s show paraded tho streots
to-day, opening to-night at American
Institute, while “Aimeo” will disport
her lino form at Booth’s to-night on
her return from Europe, us “The Littlo
Duke.” She was to imvo opened at
the “Park,” but Manager Abbey found
“Engaged" was too good a card, and
ro rented “Booth’s.”
Mary Anderson is in Brooklyn, and
l hope doing well, as she is a deserving
young actress.
The murder of Porter, the actor, b>
Currie, tho Kansas dosperado, created
considerable excitement here. His
case, it strikes me, would come under
the head of “lmngliiin on general prin
ciplos,” if the half that is told of his
career is (rue.
Many propositions to Council to per
mit a street railroad from Fourteenth
street to Battery are being made. One
company offer five por cent, of th
gross receipts forever, with a million
in cash paid to the city now. Som
think it will bring tho retail trade back
from the avenues and cross streets and
arrest its going farther up Broadway.
Council has not acted yet.
Broadway is perfectly charming
above Fourteenth street, as Raster
presents aro displayed in tho shop win
dows in great profusion, and the new
spring fashions for male and female set
oil’the retail stores to advantage.
Clot lies are very much cheaper than
a few years ago. A very nice spring
suit for gent can be bought (made to
order) from 812 to 320. The reduction
made by merchant tailors has caused
the retail stores to come down, and the
tickets on clothes displayed now read
away down in the figures.
Geo. Alfred Townsend has been
at it again, lie recently published a
long intervibw with Senator Jones, of
Nevada, who had been traveling
through tho South, in which the latter
was irmdo to lavish a good deal of ridi
cule upon the Southern people and
their modo of life. Tho interview was
widoly published, and the Southern
press returned Senator Jones’ compli
ments with great vigor and alacrity <
Senator Jones says lio not only did not
use tlio language attributed to him,
but bad nover spoken to Townsend in
bis lifo, and had only soon him once in
a New York restaurant. Whereupon
tlie Washington rout remarks: “Judg
ing from Senator Jones’ experience,
thero is as much ganger in being ob
served by Mr Townsend as there is in
placing any crodit in one of his reports
ot conversation. IIo can probably tire
out a fact quicker than any newspaper
writer living, by tho simple procoss of
harnessing it up to his imagination.”
The Vicksburg papers report that
tho negro exodus has ceased. This
was to bo expected, says tho New York
bane. Tho scasrfn for active work
on tlio cotton crop has now begun on
tho Lower.Mississippi, and tho blacks
wlio have resisted thus far tho impulse
to join the emigration movement will
stay until tlie noxt crop is harvested.
After they have once commenced
ploughing and planting they naturally
Htiok to tho fields where they liavo
already invested Homo days or weeks
of labor. By noxt spring tho plaintive
voice of the shivering ana starvod col
ored man in Kansas will penetrate
tho ovorglados and cane-brakes of tho
South, and thero will bo no moro “ex
odus.” Sonator Windom’s Emigration
will go into liquidation.
Upon arriving at Naples recently
tlio business manager of Adelina Patti
oomplainod to tho hotel proprietor that
the prima donna’s rooms wero not up
to her standard of luxury. “But,
Monsiuer,” said mine host, “dukes and
princes have boen satisfied with these
apartments.” “Fudge!” interrupted
tlio manager, “tho world is full of
dukes and princes, but it can boast of
only ono Patti!”

“Treating" constitutes one of the
chief perils attaching to the custom
of imbibing spirituous liquors, anu
there are few persons who could not,
if free from its shackles, restrict the
indulgence of their thirst to a decent
moderation. A man meeting a group
of bis friends just as lie is bent on
obtaining his afternoon allowance of
“sherry and bitters” must, if lie does
not violate usage, and if lie wishes to
do what is expected of him, ask them
all to join him. Suppose the whole
party to number seven. Seven drinks
are poured down seven throats wil
ling or unwilling. What is the re
sult of this hospitality? Six other
individuals feel themselves mort
gaged with an obligation to equal it.
There may be a little chat, and then
some one says, “Ah, let’s have an
other drink!” Then seven more
drinks are poured down seven tli routs.
More talk. Another happy thought
by another member of the party.
Seven more drinks descend tlie
seven throats, then more talk.
A fourth inspiration by a fourth
participant. Some one who lias
done his fated duty tries to beg off’;
has business to transact; ought not
to drink anymore. His objection is
vetoed by the asking party, who is
already slightly stimulated perhaps.
“No! shirking ole fellow, come on !”
Repetition of the gulping act by
seven performers. Every one feels
the mellowing influence by this time.
“Charley” says No. Six aff ectionately
to the genius of the bar,“GW’s ’both
er ! All hands round !” Encore the
feat of seven men swallowing seven
drinks. No. Severn’s turn lias ar
rived, and the happy relief is near.
He happens to be the least experi
enced of tiie party. He is already
full of bliss, while his words are few
but expressive. “Set ’em up again,
hie!” Up they go, and then down
they go—seven more drinks. Let us
see. Seven times seven are forty-
nine. And all because one man felt
like tasting a little ‘‘sherry and bit
ters.” Perhaps he goes home .to bis
dinner afterward. Perhaps he don’t;
aud perhaps lie.fails to see his wife
and mother-in-law until the next
day. Such is life in a country where
treating is customary.—New York

John Pope, of Kentucky, wan
among the distinguished men of his
lay. He was one of her Senators In
Co igress for a full term, from 1807 to
lh’3. Unfortunately for his popular
ity, lie voted against the declaration
or war against Great Britain. Tliut
act laid him on tlie political shelf till
8_il, when President Jackson ap
pointed him Governor of Arkansas.
After serving several years In that
opacity, he returned to Kentucky,
and was elected to Congress for three
uecessive terms—from 1887 to 1843,
What is about to be related, tradi
tion informs us, occurred in 1842. The
I louse was in committee of the whole
on the state (f the Union. Governor
Pope made three fruitless attempts to
gain the floor. The Chairman, ex-
Governor Casey, of Illinois, deter
mined that as soon us the member
then occupying tlie floor brought his
peecli to an end, he would recog
nize Gov. Pope. That time hav-
g arrived, sundry members sprang
to their feet and cried out “Mr. Chair
man!” "Mr. Chairman,” The res
ponse was, “The gentleman from
Kentucky has tho floor.” But there
was no gentleman from Kentucky on
the floor. Governor Pope was fast
asleep in his chair. Being awakened,
hearoseand said: "Mr, Chairman,
I hardly know wliat is now before
the committee, but while my mind is
on it 1 wish to say that if tl ere be
any proposition before this commit
' e to declare wa*, I vote in tlie affir
mative.” [Here there were roars of
laughter, which lasted several min
utes.] TlieGovernorcontinued: "Mr.
Chairman, when I was Governor ot
Arkansas I got on my horse one
evening and rode out in'tlie country.
I found three or four families en
camped on the side of tlie road,
asked tho men standing arouud
where they were going? They re
plied, ‘To Texas.’ My dear sirs,
said I, you had better turn back!
There is no protection for persons or
property in Texas—war is raging
there. ‘War!’ exclaimed a big, strap
ping fellow; ‘whoop, boys, let usgeer
up and tie off, that’s tlie country for
us.” ‘‘1 tell you,” added the Goe-
ornor, "That our Western boys are
always teady for a light; and I must
sav again, that, if there beany prop
osition before this committee to de
clare war, I vote in tlie affirmative.’
Governor Pope died ill 1845.
Kearny would abolish, flrst, tho
Chinese; secondly, tlie capitalist,
and thirdly, the lawyers. Under the
last head'lie exclaimed a fortnight
ago at Merced, Cal.: “Wherever
there are horse thieves there are law
vers! Of what good are lawyers and
law books ? One shyster takes up the
hook and reads from it; then the
other does the same, both citing pre
cedents and the decisions of some
superannuated old pill of tlie blue
ages. Then the Judge puts on Ills
spectacles, looks wise and adjourns
the court, locks up the jury, and goes
and gets drunk, and renders a deci
sion on the ease in about tlieree years
That is law. Look at Switzerland
no lawyers, no courts, and no Judges
and Switzerland is a happy and pros
perous country,” Kearney was cer
tainly wrong in his filets about the
Swiss republic, and possibly he does
the lawyers some injustiue.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
.dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satished that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pili.s, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No, better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who arc afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market _ being full of imitations of the
name JUcLane, spelled differently ()IU
same pronunciation.
