TOE LATE CYCLONES.
What Professor Broun, of the State
University Says AbontThem.
The Griffin News has the following:
Upon the special request of the Con
vention of the Teachers of Georgia, Prof.
LeR. Broun, of the University of Geor
gia, made the fallowing remarks upon
the subject of tbo recent cyclones that
have devastated Georgia:
Whenever we are unable to account for
any occurrence beyond the range of the
ordinary in naStcre, we are accustomed to
say it is the result of electricity. What
h electricity? Many of those who so
flippantly use the name would be unable
to answer the question. Electricity is
produced by the falling of rain; by the
change of air to vapor; by the change
of vapor to rain; by the multiform
physical changes that occur upon the
surface of our globe. We see the evi
dence of its existence in the flash that
leaps from cloud to'cloud, and illuminates
creation by the blaze of its intolerable
glory. Wo see the proof of its existence
in the bolt that shivers to atoms the
magnificent forest king, or leaves in ruins
the structure that boasts to be the result
of the architectural art of ages.
Electricity has nothing whatever to do
with these cyclones.
It had been reported that the transit
of Venus had caused these atmospheric
disturbances. These troubles were caused
by the unequal distribution of heat upon
the surface of the earth. To any ono
having the slightest idea of the relative
size of the Sun and the planet Venus, to
say nothing of the comparative influence
of the source of all heat, and a body that
is not even self-luminous, it would be
hardly necessary to say that the idea i3
absurd. Venus has no more to do with
those disturbances than the amours of
the fabled goddess whose name she bears.-
To give the simplest illustration: Sup
pose a circular sheet of water to be cov
ered by a surface of iron, precluding all
escape, save at ono small orifice. Sup
pose an immense pressure to be applied
upon this iron surface. Common sense
would teach that this water would have
a tendency to escape through this orifice
with a force and upward tendency pro
portioned to tho pressure and the small
ness of the orifice. Now the earth is
covered with a stratum of atmosphere
which may be taken for all practicable
purposes to be forty-five miles in thick
ness. In the equatorial regions, where
the solar heat is greatest, the atmosphere
becomes rarified and consequently light-
en.-d and rises upward. A partial vacu
um is necessarily produced. The air from
the polar regions moves in to supply
the deificiency or partial vacuum.
Were the earth stationary, a ^cur
rent would be produced from the North
pole to the equator. For the sake of
simplicity we will only consider the
Northern hemisphere in which we live.
Were tho earth stationary, the current
would be due North to South, but the
earth moves from West to East and con
sequently the current is bent out of its
natural course into a Northwest wind.
The rarified and lightened air rises and
begins to flow back toward the North
polo. These two currents must be op
posed to each other, and whenever two
winds of approximately equal force meet
there must be a rotary motion.
About the time of the cyclones that
swept across Georgia, an area of low ba
rometer was reported at tbo Signal Office
in Washington, extending from southwest
to northeast. Above or north of this area
wa3 an area of high pressure. Below or
south was another area of high pressure.
Thus this area of low pressure formed a
trough upon which the areas of high
pressure were superimposed, and the ad
ded weight resting upon the lower strat
um of ait produced a tendency to rise up
ward at ihe point of least resistance.
These from all directions were establish
ed currents towards this point, and to
any one who has observed the tendency
of water to form in what are familiarly
known as whirlpools the rotary or whirl
ing motion thus produced will be easily
understood.
A cannon ball moves at about the rate
of 13,000 feet per second. A cubic yard
of air weighs about two pounds, and
would therefore move towards this vacuum
and orifice with a momentum of about
20.000 pounds. A thousand cubic yards
of air would move at the momentum of
about 26,000,000 pounds, and when we
consider the apparently immense height
of the atmosphere, we can, to some ex
tent, conceive of the limitless force of
the tornado. And as the rotating cur-
rent of air passes upward, it encounters
the northeasterly current which carries it
forward with great velocity in the pre
vailing direction northeast.
The phosphorescent appearance of the
clouds was due to the relatively opposite
conditions of electricity of the earth, and
tho surrounding atmosphere, and thus
one side of the cloud might assume an
appearance of phosphorescence or elec-
tried brilliancy while the other side
would appear shrouded in gloom. These
clouds are not tho producers but tbo
mere accompaniments of the cyclone and
their electrical conditions and the acoom-
panying phenomena of rain and hail are
accounted for upon the simpliest natural
urinciplcs that need not be enumerated
here. From the tremendous momentum
of huge bodies of air rushing toward a
eomrnen contro with an awful power to
which tho rush of the bullet or the im
petus of the cannon ball are but as tho
breath of tho Zephyr to the whirl of the
storm, wo can readily conceive how in its
path the strength of the oak becomes _as
a straw, and the work of man dissolves in
to ruin before the power of Him who
holds the world in the hollow of His
band.
The above is but a brief and imperfect
summary of the remarks of Professor
Broun. Before the magic of his clear
analysis and plain and simple statements,
the causes producing the ordinary phe
nomena to the cyclone, became easy of
comprehension to the audience who
fronted him. To explain the terrible
power and unusual accompaniments of
an extraordinary cyclone, would re
quire, beside a knowledge of tho above
facts, all the influences excited upon our
atmosphere during tho period immediate
ly preceding the cyclone, by whatever
of disturbing agencies that may exist
without tho knowledge of tho scientist,
who depends and must depend upon tho
present imperfect instruments and sys
tems, for collecting and utilizing tho data
of atmospheric storms.

Tho Perils or Ballooning in France.
Full particulars have been received by ■
mail of the terrible ballooning disaster
in France last month, which was briefly
reported by telegraph. The story is in
tensely interesting and the matter is
likely to be much talked over in scien
tific circles. Tho party consisted of MM.
Tissandier, Croce-Spinelli and Sivel, all
of them experienced balloonists. M.
Sivel was of tho party simply to manage I
the balloon, he already having made-151.1
ascents. The start was made in the b&l- j
loon Zenith from the gas works of La i
Villette, near Paris, on tne 15th of April, j
at 11:30. As the ascent wa3 made for !
scientific purposes, and as it was intended
to reach a great , altitude, the party was
provided amply with instruments and
with bags of oxygen to be breathed when
the air should become too rare to sup
port life. The incidents of the voyage
iave been graphically described by the
solo survivor of the expedition, M. Tis-
sandier, in minutes kopt by him during
the ascent, and in a report made to the
French Aeronautical Society.
At 1 o’clock the balloon had reached a
height of 5000 metreB, or something
more than three miles. The balloonists
felt happy,” and actively occupied
themselves in making scientific observa
tions. They continued to ascend, and
at 1:20 were at a height of 7000 metres.
Although pallid and weak, they agroed
to throw out more ballast and ascend
still further. But already they had
passed tho point where they could pur
sue their scientific inquiries. Tho fol
lowing extract from M. Tissandier’s
notes, tho last he was able to write,
shows that it was already time for
them to descend*:
"Now tho height is 6,500 metres. A
little oppressive.. Hands slightly frozen.
\Ve are better. Hands frozen. Croce
f ants. Wo inhale the oxygen in the bag.
ivcland Croce - shut their eyes. They
are pale. A little better, even gay.
Croce says to me, laughing, “You blow
like a porpoise.” 1:20. We are 7000
metres. Sivel seems drowsy. Sivel and
Croce are pale, 7400. Sleepy. 7500.
Sivel still throws out ballast. Sivel
throws out ballast.”
As they rose after this last emptying
of tho bags, tho narrator became power
less. Ho conld not turn his head to look
at his companions. He could not raise
his arm to take hold of the oxygen tube.
His eyes remained fixed on tho barome
ter, and ho tried to say that the height
reached was 8000 meters, but his tongue
refused to move, and he fell senseless.
This was at half-past one. Conscious
ness returned fora moment about forty
minutes later. The balloon was rapidly
descending, and Tissandier had strength
enough to cut off one of tho bag3 of bal
last to stay the descant, to observe that
the height was about 7300 meters, to no
tice that his companions were lying in a
faint at the bottom of the car, and to
write a brief noto of the situation.
Then ho fainted again. Soon after
be was awakened by Croce shaking
his aim, and noticed that ho was
throwing out ballast, but again fell
into a trance. Not until quarter past
three did he become conscious again.
Then he awoke to find the balloon de
scending with frightful rapidity. Sivel
and Croce were huddled up in the car,
their faces black, their mouths covered
with blood. He tried to rouso them, but
it was not possible. Gathering his
strength he threw out two bags of bal
last, as the balloon was rapidly nearing
the earth. By a last effort he succeeded
in finding bis knife and cut loose the
anchor. The shock when the earth wa3
touched was very violent, but the anchor
did not hold, and the balloon glided
along on tbo earth, tho car touching tho
ground, and the bodies of Croce and Sivel
were shaken from side to side. At last
Tissandier managed to seize the rope of
the escape valve and let out the gas;
the balloon crushed up against a tree and
came to a stop, and at 4 o’clock one only
of the three came alive out of the car.
Croce and Sivel were dead.
A Princely Texas Stock Farm.
San Antonio (Texas) Letter to the St. Louis Ee-
publiean.1
In company with Col. Hinkle, of tho
Homeward Star, Atlanta, Ga., we bad tho
pleasure of an invitation to visit the
home of one of the stock king3 of Texas,
Mr. H. H. McLane. He now lives about
four miles north of this city, on an estate
comprising 1,300 acres. This magnificent
place once belonged to Col. Charles An
derson, afterward Governor of Ohio, and
brother of Eobt. J. Anderson, of Fort
Sumter famo. He sold it about the begin
ning of the war. It is a home such ns a
prince might envy. Only a part of it is
fenced. The grounds about the dwell
ing are divided by walls and drives,
and tbe foliage of live oak3, frebo leho,
and other superb evergreens, shut out
tho hot ray3 of our tropical sun, and
tho fragranco and beauty of a wealth
of flowers lend a sense of almost
heavenly delight. Mr. McLane intends
dividing this estate into smaller parcels
and make it tho fashionable and wealthy
residence locality of the future great
city of Texas. Water gushes forth
abundantly from several springs,
which are so situated that tho highest
po'mts can be furnished with any needed
supply. In 1858 tho owner came to
Texas and settled on the San Antonio
river, sixty miles south of tho city. Ho
brought with him a few mare3 from In
diana and Kentucky and stallions of the
Morgan, Messenger and Pilot bloods.
This was the foundation of his wealth.
Ho has sold many thousand dollars’
worth of horses, and now kas_ between
six and seven hundred bead, besides somo
200jspring colts. He keo?3 nearly all of
bis stock on bis farm, sixty miles down
tho river, where ho has 6,000 acres of
splendid land under fence. His sales
have averaged $150 per head; a number
having brought three to twelve hundred
dollars each. Ho also own3 large tracts
of land in the counties west. A. Boston
firm have made a standing offer of $150
a head for fifty horse3 annually, for
a term of five to ten years, and
two years ago the Government bought
104 head out of 107 that were
offered, paying tho outside price
allowed—$150 each. Owing to tho sick
ness of hm partner, and the heavy care
of his city estate, he now desires to sell
his stock and farm of six thousand acres.
For the horses ho asks fifty dollars per
head all around, throwing in this spring’s
colts. For the horses and farm, a lot of
nearly 100 good cattle, and a few hundred
dollars’ worth of personal property, ho
asks tho sum of $60,000. In this is the
best bargain we have yet heard of in
Texas in the stock line, as the income
would certainly be equal to $10,000 a
year from thu horses, and the business
could he increased indefinitely. Mr.Mc-
Lane feeds no grain. His horses are

A Bank President’s Peril.
From the Nashville Union and American.]
The deep mystery which has so long
onveloped the methods employed in re
covering the securities stolen from the
Souhegan Bank, in Milford, N. H-, last
October, is at last unraveled,and the story
would pass for a genuine romance were
not the fall details of the plot so well au
thenticated. The robbery, it will be re
membered, was one of the boldest ever
perpetrated. On the 19th of October ten
or twelve masked men forced their way
into the private residenco of Mr. T. A.
Sawyer, tho cashier, and, having gagged
and tied all the' members of the house
hold, forced the cashier to produce the
keys, with which the bank vaults were
opened and about $120,000 in securities
and $6,000 in currency wa3 secured. The
President of the hank, Hon. 'William B.
Towne, who was in the city transacting
some business, lost no time in returning
to Milford. Detectives wero employed in
the search for the robbers and the securi
ties, but all to no purpose. Advertise
ments offering rewards for tho restora
tion of the securities wero published,
and at length anonymous notes reached
Mr. Towne. The writers desired to
know how much he would pay. His
invariable answer was "a reasonable
amount.” A letter was received from a
smalltown not far from Boston. Mr.
Towne was informed that the bonds
should he returned if a liberal sum was
paid for them. The sender of tho letter
requested an interview with him, and Mr.
Towne resolved to visit tho man, and did
so. Tho bank president was coolly re
ceived by tho stanger, who met him in a
hotel, and then led him to a largo build
ing far away. Tho stranger oyed Mr.
Towne suspiciously as he led him through
a long hallway into a commodious room,
and tho banker felt ill at case in his
presence. Tho stranger talkcS business
at onco. Mr. Towne told him that the
negotiation of tho securities had been
interfered with by publication, but that
tho bank was willing to pay a sum not
extravagant for tha bonds. The stranger
named a sum, and said that ho would
give Mr. Towne time to think over it.
Before going from tho building in which
the conference was had tho stranger
abused Mr. Towne, and accused him of
not acting in good faith. Tho hanker
was afraid to say mnch then, but in tho
hotel ho satisfied tho stranger, whom Mr.
Towne afterward discovered was a detec
tive, that no one was aware of his (Mr.
Towno’s) object in visiting the town.
Then the President went back to Milford,
and talked with the Directors of the
bank. Further correspondence followed,
and at length Mr. Towne consented to
pay the sum demanded. He drew the
money in bank notes of largo denomina
tion, and putting them into an inside
pocket of his vest, started to see tho de
tective. He was again led through the
long hallway, and into tho big room.
The door was fastened by the detective.
Mr. Towne was thoroughly frightened.
"Are you prepared to negotiate ?” gruffly
asked tho detective. " I think I am,”
■was the answer, given with much delib
eration. “Think you are,” sneered the
detective. "Areyou fixed?” The hank
President hesitated, but answered in the
affirmative. “Well, produce,” was tho
command of tho detective. Mr. Towne
drew a roll of bank notes from his pock
et, and placed them on the table. Tho
detective went to a door opening into
another room and knocked. The door
was slightly opened, and a hand grasping
a bundle wrapped in silk paper of foreign
manufacture appeared. The detective
took the package and put it on tho table.
" Now, sir,” said he to Mr. Towne, “have
you got any more money ?" “Yes, sir,”
was tho reply, and Mr. Towne took an
other roll of bank notes from hi3 pocket.
Tho detective again tapped on tho door,
and another package was handed in. Then,
moro money having been obtained from
Mr. Towne, a third and last package was
given him. He quickly examined the
securities. They were the ones wanted.
Some were missing, and likewise valuable,
papers were not there. Mr. Town© tied
the three packages together, and was
ready to go. He trembled as he ap
proached the door, and asked the detec
tive to show him out. It was then about
9 o’clock at night, and the long hallway
was very dark, but he finally succeeded in
reaching the hotel in safety. Tho next
day he wa3 in Milfc-rd. Tho valuable pa
pers and some of the securities are still
wanted. One of the missing bonds war
recently found in Dickenson’s woods, neas
Jerome Park, in a bottle lying by the side
of a man who had evidently been mur
dered. Twelve stabs wero found in his
breast, and the theory now entertained
here is that the man was ono of the bank
robbere, and that he and some of his ac
complices alighted from tbe train near
the woods, and that soon afterward in a
struggle he was killed. From the ap-
pearancs of the ground a few feet from
tho body it was inferred that other bot
tles had therein been buried and then
hastily token up, and it wa3 thought
likely that in tho hurry tho bottle con
taining the bond was overlooked.

Massachusetts paper: “Strayed or stolen

St. Catherines Island, off the coast of
Liberty county, Ga.
Commanding in appearance and pos
sessing mnch shrewdness and canning, he
at once became a great man among his
recently enfranchised brethren. Tonis
is a first-class buccaneer and fillibuster,
and no-socnea t had he entered the tabby
walls of the Woldburg family and sur
veyed its orange embowered grounds
and the adjacent fertile fields, he resolved
to possess and hold tjfpm by the indis
putable right of conquest. According,
asserting Ms authority as the rightfnl
successor of the ancient qneen of St.
Catherines in the days of Toma-cM-chi,
he proclaimed himself lord of the manor;
raised an army; expelled all the disaf
fected; hung a few malcontents, and
reigned as absolutely as the King of Da
homey.
But alas! many thom3 were woven in
the crown that encircled his sable brow.
After a brief but glorious career, during
which Tunis hunted tho red deer that
abonnd on the island, feasted upon fish
and turtle, exacted tribute from his will
ing subjects, imposed taslra wMch ho him
self would not so much as touch with his
little finger, the universal greed of tho av
erage Yankee proved his downfall. In an
unlucky day somo Federal capitalist, pos
sibly a ciwlplollower of Sherman, and per
haps afflicted with a cough, and resolved
to gain health, and ingots too, in tho
Southern Eldorado, bought tho whole
island fof a largo sum from its rebel
owner. . ,j
But Tunis now stood upon his royal
prerogative, and regarded with scorn and
contempt all efforts to dispossess ’him.
Cortes had conquered and held Mexico,
and so had ho St. Catherines; and ho
would maintain hi3 authority by force of
arms at every hazzard. Those, therefore,
who sought to depose him were peremp
torily expelled. For tho time ho remain
ed mister of the situation. Threats of
Federal interference wero fulminated
against him, but this Island Tycoon
snapped his fingers in Undo Sam’s faco,
and declared that he was an independent
sovereignty and subject to no power on
earth. At length, however, the sorely
puzzled purchaser succeeding in procur
ing from government a detachment of
regular troops, under command of CoL
Collins, the present collector of tho port
of Brunswick, who effected a lodgment
on the island, and in due form demanded
its unconditional surrender.
The sight of these gleaming bayonets
and serried ranks of blue' proved too
much for tho stohtech of tho African
magnato. “Ho came, ho saw,” he wilted,
and with courago oozing out at fingers’
ends declared himself tho obedient vassal
and dovoted slave of tho Badical gov.
eminent.
It was a reproduction in miniature
of tho rise and fall of their numerous
sooty majesties in the West India islands,
whero royalty is a more burlesque, and a
half dozen black musketeers nearly naked
compose tho body guard of a reigning
monarch.
Next wo hear of Tunis in McIntosh
county, where ho had sought refugo
among tho disbanded and ignorant rico
field negroes in tho delta of the Alta-
maha river.
They at onco received him as of
superior intelligence, and again he was
installed king, to all practical intents and
purposes. There Tunis reigned and
flourished, administered justice (so.call-
ed), proscribed or jailed offenders against
himself, made a travestie of the law in
his functions a3 magistrate, and wielded
an authority os absolute 03 tho Kahn of
Tartary.
If he wished to go to tho Legislature,
ho had only to say so, whilo on admiring
and obedient multitude stood ready to do
his bidding and execute Ms behests with
out doubt or question.
But unfortunately for Tunis, Judgo
Tompkins appeared upon the scene as
tho jndicial expounder and champion of
tho aw, anil again, os at St. Catherine’s,
ho was forced to surrender, not, however,
before his henchmen had assaulted the
officers of justice and even fired upon the
Judge. But the attempt to rescue their
idol was in vain, and the twice dethroned
monarch now “peep3 and mutters”
through tho barred windows of tho Chat
ham jail, and twelve of Ms turbulent as
sociates have been arrested and will be
made to answer for this onslaught upon
the laws of tho country,
But we havo a quasi admiration for
Tonis, begotten of his fine and imposing
physique. We heard an ex-Jndgo of the
Superior Court recently declare that he
was the “most dignified and Senatorial,
looking personago in the upper House of
the General Assembly.” And then the
man has the faculty of attaching the
masses to Mm in a most wonderful de
gree. Judgo Tompkins told us that in
McIntosh county he is almost worsMpped
by the ignorant negroes. So Tunis is no
common fellow after all, though a pre
cious and anointed rascal and conspira
tor. We trust he will have meted ont to
him every particle of justice that at
taches to his case, even though it may
bo necessary to subsidize tho halter or
penitentiary for M3 benefit.
“Old Dog Teat eveb Faithful."—A
quiet game of draw, quarter ante, was in
progress the other evening at CMco.
Ono of the party managed to get a heart
flush, ace at the head, out of the deck, and
laid it in his lap, waiting a chance to
play it. Presently the chance came.
The guileless gentleman counted out $40
better with ono hand, and quietly went
down with the other hand for that flash.
It wasn’t there. He had to play his orig
inal hand. Two of the party called his
$40 better, and one of them in the show
down produced the identical heart flush
that be had been at such pains to secure.
He knew it was the same, for the ace was
crimped just as he had done it. The se
cret was that Ira Wetherbee’s dog, "Pat-
sey,” had quietly put his nose in, picked
up the flush, carried it around to Ms
friend, wagged his tail knowingly and
walked off.—San Francisco Chronicle.
An Ex.FnsMtnt,aNotel Editor and
a Famous Lawyer Ousted from a
Sitgro Car.
From tbe Atlanta Herald.]
On the upward bound train on the Ma
con and Western division of the Central
railroad from Griffin, yesterday, were the
Hon. A. H. Stephens, Col. Clishy, of the
Macon Txlxobafh, and that fine old
gentleman, Col. Cineinnatus Peeples, of
this city. As is usual with Mr. Stephens,
he took what he thought the second-class
car, so that he conld indulge in Ms pipe
and conversation without offense to any
one. Everything went pleasant enough,
because nobody thought anything was
wrong. Pretty soon an old blind negro
man, with Ms wife, entered the car and
seated themselves. Nothing was thonght
of this proceeding, and the vice presi
dent, editor and lawyer were making
themselves as comfortable as the condi
tion of that road would permit. It was
noticed that the car in question was of
new finish, handsomely upholstered and
very neat. The surprise of the whole
party may be imagined when the conduc
tor came along and very plainly told
these distinguished gentlemen that they
must get out, as that car was provided
solely for colored people, and white folks
were not permitted to ride there.
Then the “Great Commoner” and Mr.
Clisby and Col. Peeple3 looked at each
other, and then at tho conductor. Mr.
Clishy undertook to smile and Col. Pee
ples looked confused. Mr. Stepbens,
always equal to any emergency, looked
monstrous wise at Mr. Clisby and Col.
Peeples, and scratcMng his head said:
"Well, Clisby, I have lived a long time;
I have always endeavored to tote fair
with my fellow-man; I pay my honest
debts, and I love my country, but I never
expected to witness this scene.”
Mr. Clisby replied that God, in Ms itl-
scrutiblo wisdom and kindness, had per
mitted Mm to live out the time allotted
to most men; that ho had successfully
conducted one of tho best daily papers in
Georgia for years; that his conscience
was clear and his health good. He had,
by uniform good conduct and urbanity of
manner, won tho respect and esteem of
the entire southwest portion of tho State,
yet now, at thm late day, he was forced
to leave a car because he wa3 not consid
ered as coed as a blind nigger.
Mr. Stephens, who had at the first in
timation grabbed his crutches, and wa3
then making an abortive attempt to rise,
remarked to Col. Peeples, in Ms peculiar
and feminine voice: “Gentlemen,you
know me. The world knows me. I
have been a most successful school
teacher, and havo attained somo notoriety
at the Bar. I havo served my State in
the councils of the nation. I havo been
Vice-President of the Confederate States
of America^ the most brilliant galaxy of
confederated stars that ever shone in the
firmament of nations. I have success
fully “stood” twice for Congress in my
district, and am now on an errand of
mercy, having been to Griffin to address
the State Association of Teachers. I
have already paid my railroad fare, and
paid no attention to tho franking and
mileage privileges offered by Congress;
but this is the first time I was over
called on to vacate a car because I am
not considered as good as a negro.”
"Come, come,” said tho conductor, “I
have no-time to listen to speeches, you
ought to throw in and hire a hall for that
purpose. This car is set apart for colored
folks, and wMto people are not permitted
to ride in hero. Get out!” And tho poor
crippled ex-President, the Macon editor
and the Atlanta lawyer were inconti
nently hustled to the rear car.
But after due reflection Mr. Stephens
and Mr. Clishy and Col. Peeples each and
all decided that it was right. The law,
in the first place prescribes certain rules,
and then the negroes pay full fare, and
the railroad authorities provide a first-
class car especially for their accommoda
tion, and white people have no more
right there than the negro ha3 to take
tho car set apart for tho white people.
And all this too, was carried on when
tho two old innocent negroes were sound
asleep and had not noticed, nor knew
anything of what was going on.
Tlie Now Party.
From Tho Capitol.]
Tho recent farewell banquet to Mr.
Schurz seems to have developei some
political significance. The Delmonico
dinner to the departing statesman gave
occasion to the discussion of anew party.
The egg may be said to havo been laid
by tho ex-senator, and to Mr. Halstead,
of tho Cincinnati Commercial is assigned
the grateful task of incubation. Of what
sort are the skin, hair, fat, flesh, veins,
arteries, ligaments, nerves, cartilages,
bones, marrow, brains, glands, genitals,
humors and articulations of tMs political
Homunculus, Mr. Shandy Mmself proba
bly conld not discover.
The now organization will donbtless,
however, be composed of all tho virtue
wMch reformatory electicism can extract
from other political bodies, living and
dead. The respectability of old aristo
cratic federalism, the States right doc
trine of Union-loving Democracy, a tinc
ture of anti-Catholicism derived from the
relios of Knew-Nothingism, a tariff for
revenue and tho inviolability of the
amendments.
In Hope’s Anastasius an old Dervish is
represented as explaining to a young
convert that to become a true believer a
man must make up his mind first to his
creed, and then hunt around for argu
ments to support it. The stockholders
of the new combination seem to be in
spired by the same happy thonght.
These gentlemen left the Bepublican
party, not according to the simile, “like
rats from a sinking sMp,” bnt because
their heads and their hearts, their re
flections and their instincts, antagonized
the weakness and wickedness wMch char
acterized that organisation. Having
withdrawn from the embraces of their
first and false love, and finding no exist
ing refuge in the shape of a party in
which there was no guile, they have kept
aloof from the Democracy on the princi
ple that "it is pitiful in the extreme,
when we cannot got the very thing we
wish, to take up with thenext best in de
gree to it,” hence the necessity of an in
dependent party.
Much is to bo forgiven to tho folly of
convivial moments, but when the flowers
of after-dinner rhetoric are, subsequent
to the sobering influences of a night’s
rest, developed into the fruits of a polit
ical organization, charity ceases to be a
virtue.
What Lord Bacon says of governments,
that they “ rest on authority, consent,
credit, opinion, not on demonstration and
truth in the abstract,” may be os appro
priately applied to political parties. No
body of reformers can organize and re
cruit, either in quality or numbers, a vic
torious body upon the eve of a great po
litical contest where the issue is between
two old and inimical parties. It is par
donable for tbe moet practical men to
retire to their closets and theorize on the
perfect&bility of society in its several de
partments; it is a fact that the threo
works on imaginary governments, Uto
pia, Atlantis and Armata were written by
lawyers, the moet matter-of-fact persons ;
so that dreaming about what a party
should bo is not objectionable at all, but
when the adoption of theories are urged,
they must be made to appear feasible.
That the masses are beginning to fully
appreciate the importance of existing
issues, the desirability of some sort of
change, and the necessity of tho over
throw of the Bepublican party aa it now
exists, will not be questioned. When
sneh men as Mr. Schurz withdrew from
that party, they carried thousands with
them, and over these thousands he and
men inspired by tbe same high motives
have to-day a commanding influence.
Out of this material au independent party
might be formed, just large enough to
become in tho approaching struggle a
noble army of martyrs, and contributing,
in all probability, to a third term victory
and to the utter defeat of the reforms for
the accomplishment of wMoh it was or
ganized.
Of course all good men would rejoice
a victorious party whero the grain was
sifted from the chaff, but there is a rea
sonable doubt, derived from experience,
about the possibility of such a blessing,
though a Schurz plants the seeds and a
Halstead nurses the growth. There is an
epitaph on the tombstone of a Connecti
cut baby, the first lino of wMch reads:
“ Wo always can’t have things to please
us,” and it would bo well for the gentle
men who contemplate tho new organiza
tion to hearken unto this voice from the
tombs. Nothing that they can do will
change tho nature of the contest, which
must be between the Bepnblican party,
wMch has been false to its trusts, and
the Democratic party, which has given
pledges of reform and is to-day in part
performing its promises.
A Very Daring Bobbery.
Cleveland, O., May 9.—A very daring
robbery occurred here this morning. Mr.
L. A. Benton, a jeweler, went to his store,
on the corner of Seneca and Superior
streets, about 9 o’clock this morning, 03
is his custom on Sunday, to wind the
watches and look over the establishment.
He opened the safe, and, hearing a noise,
turned, when he was confronted by a
masked man armed with a knife, who
demanded his surrender. Mr. Benton
seized a hatchet lying on tho workbench
and prepared to fight, when he was
struck on the head with a club by a sec
ond robber who camo up behind Mm, ana
knocked senseless.
The thieves then rifled the safe, taking
diamonds and watches, the value of
which cannot now be ascertained. A
diamond breastpin, valued at $600, was
taken from the shirt bosom of Mr. Ben
ton. The thieves then mado their es
cape. Mr. Benton laid unconscious for
over two hours, when he came to his
senses and managed to crawl to the front
door, where he attracted tho attention of
passers by. Ho was taken to M3 home
and cared for. His injuries are severe,
but are not considered dangerous. It is
believed that the thieves effected an en
trance during the night-through the cel
lar.
Albant, May 9.—The jewelry store of
Benjamin L. Hood was robbed to-day of
$15,000 worth of diamonds, watches and
other jewelry.
AN OHIO*TRAGEDY.
A Kegro Kills nis Aunt and then coin*
mits Suicide.
Columbus, O., May 10.—Tho colored
residents of Long street were thrown into
a sea of excitement this evening by the
report of a murder and suicide in their
midst. Tho facts in the case are these:
About a year ago a young colored man
named Wyatt Flowers shot and wonnded
his white mistress, and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for one- year. During
Ms imprisonment ho manifested signs of
insanity, once attempting to kill Mmself.
Upon Ms release he was sent to a lunatic
asylum, from wMch ho wa3 recently re
leased as cured. Since his release he has
lived with his aunt, Mrs.Mary Childs, on
Long street. To-night, while at supper,
a trivial misunderstanding arose, when
Flowers made threats of revenge, when
Ms aunt became alarmed and started to
call help. Flowers followed her and shot
at her with Ms pistol; he then drew a
razor and cut two terrible gashes across
her head, and then across her stomach,
causing her intestines to fall out and run
upon the ground. Ho then ’ran into the
house, reloaded his pistol and shot Mm
self in the right temple, tho bullet lodg
ing in hfa brain. Flowers died soon after
in great agony.
Presidential Candidates.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. I
Some of tho political friends of Blaine,
who have arrived here within the last
few days, are quietly canvassing the po
litical situation. They frankly state that
Blaine is an avowed candidate for tho
Presidency, and believe that if tho con
vention was held to-day he would secure
tho nomination. They stale that Blaine's
policy from now until tho meeting of the
next Congress will be silence. They are
somewhat curious to discover the mean
ing of the Treasury changes. They im
agine that they may havo a political im
port. They seem to think that the re
moval of Douglass is, to some extent, a
blow at Pennsylvania, and, of course, re
gret it, for they have regarded Pennsyl
vania as one of Blaine’s strongholds.
They maintain that the indications of
the last two months plainly show that
Bristow is Mmself a Presidential aspi
rant, a fact which appears to be believed
by all the principal political people who
have recently been here.
the pbesident’s westebn tbip.
The President will leavo for Chicago
and St. Louis in a day or two. After that
he will return to Washington, where he
will remain until after Decoration Day,
when he will take up his summer resi
dence at Long Branch.
The scheme of a postal telegraph in
thi3 country has. almost disappeared from
public notice, but the United States Econo*
mist says a powerful moneyed interest
is in favor of it, and will be heard from
so soon as the shares of existing telegraph
companies are run up to prices sufficient
ly high to realize fortunes by a govern
ment purchase. With this warning it
becomes a matter worthy of noto that,
according to the Budget recently pre
sented in the English House of Com-'
mons, the government postal telegraph
in that country ha3 by no means proved
to be the success that was anticipated.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Stafford Northcote, said the expenses last
year were half a million dollars more than
the net earnings, wMle the payments
upon the annual interest of the purchase
money, $1,725,000 a year, have been vir
tually suspended. This shows a defi
ciency of about two and a quarter mil
lions of dollars, which must be made good
from other sources. It also appears that
thero is very littls prospect of any imme
diate financial improvement.
Ex-Senatob Carl Schnrz and family
narrowly escaped being among the pas
sengers on the ill-fated steamship Schil
ler. They sailed on the Hamburg steam
er Pommerania, which departed April
29, only one day after the Schiller. But
for the dinner and serenade given to him
in New York he would have chosen the
earlier vessel.
