CURRENT TOPICS.
judge Jerk Black, speaking of the dan
ger of civil disturbances which the Electo
ral bill will prevent, remarked: “Either
aide is willing to fight if it thinks the other
wont. Neither side is willing to fight If It
thinks the other will.”
Boutwell, good, easy man, thought his
greatness was ripening when there came a
frost, a Hoab frost that made him murmur
that Massachusetts loves not wisely nor
’bout well.— Cincinnati Commercial.
Retrenchment is a good thing for legisla
tors to talk about, provided the time con
sumed in talking didn’t co3t anything.
But right there is the rub that takes the
hide off of the tax payers.— Constitution.
The Washington Star concludes a review
of the field as follows: “Analyzing the
general reflex of sentiment at the Capitol,
the bill seems to be in this shape: It will
be passed in both Houses as a matter of
expediency, although it will be protested
against as a matter of principle. It will
undoubtedly pass both Houses."
Mr. Bogy raised a laugh on Sherman by
expressing admiration for his courage, but
not for his taste, in becoming the cham
pion of Eliza Pinkston. “If there is a
woman,” said he, “whose skirts I would
not hold, it is Eliza Pinkston’s."
An instance of coolness in danger was
seen at the Ashtabula disaster, when a man
cleared himself from tho smashed car as
soon as it struck, found his satchel, over
coat and cane, and walked up the bank
with a check in his hat, to calmly inquire
when the next train came along.j
in the Virginia Convention of 1783 that
political prophet, George Mason, said:
The Vice President will be made a fool of
in order to bring about his own interest
and aid in overturning the liberties of his
country.” If this prediction is not ful
filled, we may thank Senator Edmunds’
committee.
Emil 8. Gebhardt, of Vallejo, Cal., was
a drunkard many years ago. Then he re
formed suddenly, and the lack of stimu
lant, in a system accustomed to liquor in
excess, caused his death. His dying words
to his son were: "It’s a foolish thing for a
man to be led astray by these temperance
folks Don’t you never mind them—let
your father’s fate be a warning.”
To the political necrology of tho year
must be added the name of Piiineas W.
Hitchcock, of Nebraska. Ho has served
six years in the Senate, which was just
about six years too long. Of his successor,
Saunders, we know nothing, but ho must
bo an Improvement on Hitchcock. Gone
to meet Pomeroy and Clayton— Philada.
Times.
Radical papers have started the story
that Senator-olect Harris, of Tennessee. i3
a citizen of Mexico, having taken the oath
of allegiance during the war. Since the
Mexican style of politics has been intro
duced into this country, Mr. Harris will
be a very valuable man in Washington.—
Cincinnati Eiquirer.
Tho American people have not forgotten
Father Hyacinthe, who seceded from the
Roman Catholic church, became a sort of
independent preacher, and married a di
vorced lady from Brooklyn. Rev. L. W.
Bacon, of New Haven. Connecticut, writ
ing home from Geneva, says this Hya
cinthe has bloomed into an Episcopalian
without a bishop, preaching popery with
out a pope, to a congregational church that
repudiates Congregationalism.
A young bank clerk at Toronto, Mr.
Barber, gets $20,000 a year for live years.
This is how. It was found that he had
been taking the secur.ties of the bank, of
which he was custodian) and using them
himself as collatera Is to obtain loans on
for stock speculations, or to lend to other
people for a consideration. A public trial
would have exposed a great number of his
accomplices, men of high position, when he
elected to be tried summarily, pleaded
guilty, and was sent to the Penitentiary
for five years. The men of high position
just alluded to paid him SIOO,OOO to take the
course.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, is said by
a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
to strongly resemble portraits of St.
Jerome; and he adds : “If there are any
but l&cial similarities between him and the
old Baint, however, Mr. Edmunds does not
show them, Ho may be pious, but he is
certainly not humble. He seldom fails to get
tho better of an opponent, and is equally
ready to knock him down with a quota
tion from a weighty authoiity, thrust him
through with the lance of his sarcasm, or
cross swords with him in fair discussion.
His hair is white, and what little skin his
thick beard and mustache reveals is of a
parchment color. He wears spectacles,
and stoops a good deal. Only his eyes are
young. His face is of the Jewish patriarch
type, and if he should go into a synagogue
on a Saturday, the assembly would be sure
to take him for some rabbi learned in the
Scriptures and the Talmud.”.
One or two of the London journals go so
far as to anticipate that a complete regen
eration of tho Turkish race and the en
trance of Turkey as a thoroughly Euro
peanized State into the family of nations
will result from a successful war waged by
the Sultan in defense of his prerogative
and of the independence of his empire*
This must be admitted to savor of enthu
siasm. But without touching upon such
points to-day, it is well to observe that
Russia cannot expoet to go through a
great war with Turkey without appealing
to tlie Pan-Slavic passion of the Russian
people, and that such an appeal is as se
rious, though not as direct, a menace to
Christian Austria as to Mohammedan Tur
key. The countrymen or Kossuth and of
Klapka will be well and nobly avenged
when they find the House of Hapsburg
leaning on their valor and their fidelity
against tho ally who made HaynaU in 1849
the butcher of Hungary.
Gen. Bate, defeated candidate for the
Tennessee Senatorehip, was serenaded
tho other night, and made a long
speech. Here is a sample :
lam defeated, but not dishonored; down
cast to some extent, but not overwhelmed;
and though I did go down, I have the con
solation of knowing that I had friends who
stuck to me to the last, and each of them,
as the tide of adversity swept by, went
down with the gurgling sound of some
strong Bwlmmer in his agony. I was at
least buried with the honors of war, with
the old guard around me, and each, as he
went down, like the dolphin, glowed in
more beautiful and varied colors in death
than in life—knights of the true lance, who
had hurled them to the target, shiver! g
for seventy-three tilts without wavering.
We fear, from this specimen, that
Gen. Bate was not cut out for a Sen
ator.
The triumph of George F. Hoar, in
the Massachusetts Senatorial contest,
over Boutwell, seems to please mod
erate men of both parties. The defeat
pf Logan Is now in order.
Opinions of the Electoral Btli.
Quite a number of Democrats and i
Republicans are opposed to the Electo- ;
rul Bill, but the vast majority in Con
gress will support it, under pressure.
A common answer to all objections, is :
“Let ua see any of the critics make a
better one.” For our part, we regard
it as a temporary expedient and proba
bly a necessary one ; but it does create
amazement that Montgomery Blair and
Gideon Welles, two ex-members of
Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet, but now in affili
ation with what is supposed to be the
Democratic party, bitterly oppose it.
The prime objections of these gentle
men are embodied in the following let
ter;
Hartford, January 18,1877.
My Dear Mb. Blair— Your favor of the
15th instant and current rumors give me
much solicitude. This idsa of setting aside
the Constitution by arbitration, creating a
now tribunal to elect a Chief Magistrate,
or to say who shall be President after the
people and the States have already made
an election, is highly reprehensible, and
betrays great want of statesmanship, and
a want of proper regard for the organic
law on which our Government is founded.
Besides its unconstitutionality, it is inex
pedient and unwise to mix up the judges
of our highest court with the party ques
tions of the day. It has been claimed by
the Centralists, very persistently, that the
President of the Senate should open and
count the votes. Driven from this, it has
been insisted that the Senate was the con
trolling power, but that the House might
participate. The joint rules, which have
governed in the last three elections, which
were adopted by the Radicals when they
had overwhelming majorities in both
branches, they will not now abide by.
Those rules left with the House its dis
tinctive, essential power.
As for the joint convention, as it is call
ed, but which is really only a meeting of
the two Houses,' theie is no authority for
them to act as one body; no provision for
a presiding officer or for aa organization.
The two Houses come together already
organized, each with prosiding officers
and clerks—the clerks to count tho votes
after the President of the Senate has open
ed them, unless tellers are specially ap
pointed by each House for that purpose.
If the President of the Senate has been
allowed to preside in their meetings, it has
been by courtesy, not by any legal or con
stitutional right. When the certificates
have been opened and the votes counted, if
there should be no choice because of a tie,
Irregularity, fraud, bribery, or other cuuse,
the House proceeds at once to elect the
President, and the Senate elects the Vice-
President.
No arbitration or new tribunal is requir
ed. It would be spurious, illegitmate, ille
gal, false to the country and to the Con
stitution, whatever might be the result.
They might decide, as the people hav e al
ready done, that Tilden is elected; they
might favor a bastard, never begotten by
tho people. We ought to run no such risks
nor acquiesce in such wrong.
Yours, very truly,
Gideon Welles.
When we hear Morton, Garfield &
Cos. insisting on State Rights, anent the
Louisiana matter; and when we read
Gideon Welles’ protest against cen
tralism, after long service in Lincoln’s
Cabinet, it is time to wonder at matters
and things. Dating from the Greeley
campaign, it would appear that men
and parties have had such a shaking
up that there is no telling what may
happen to any of them,
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
A private letter from Mr. Stephens
to a friend in this city contains the fol
lowing information : “I was in bed
nearly all of last week, but am now up
again attending to business as usual.
I think the Presidential problem will
be satisfactorily solved. To this result
my labors, day and night, are devoted.”
Discussing the Electoral Bill, the
World gives the pith of the matter in
these terse words : “If public rumor
speaks truly, the dispute will finally
narrow itself to reasonable propor
tions. On the single returns Tilden
will have one hundred and eighty-four
undisputed votes, or within one of a
majority. The double returns will
come from Oregon, Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina. If over these the
two Houses differ, then the difference
goes practically to the selected Justices
of the Supreme Court. In respect to
Oregon, tho real dispute will be over
votes for an ineligible candidate. It
will be a question of law which these
justices will have to decide, and which
tho two bodies will not trust one
another to decide, as the Constitution
commands them to do. If Cronin’s
vote goes to Tilden, the election is
made ; if Oregon has only two electors,
there is a tie, and the House elects the
President, even if we give the other
three disputed States to Hayes. The
bete-noire aud tete-noire of the whole
business, however, is Louisiana, and
we agree that a decision thereon by
five members of the highest Federal
bench would be useful in State as well
as Federal relations. A decision which
disposed of the electoral vote would
probably conclude the gubernatorial
dispute.”
—
W. W. Corcoran, the great philan
thropist and capitalist of Washington,
does not like the plan for counting the
electoral vote. He says : “They talk
about bonds and the public credit, and
say that solution is best which endan
gers least. I have bonds; but if it be
comes a choice between peace to pre
serve them and civil war to preserve
the Constitution, I for one should be
glad for such a purpose to see my
bonds devoted to the use of wall-pa
per.” Mr. Corcoran is a Democrat of
the old school. He is worthy to live
in history alongside of Carroll, of
Carrollton. The trouble is he is better
than his party, and the majority prob
ably consider that a preservation of
the bonds is more important than
Constitutional Liberty. The chances
are that both bonds and liberty will go
at last.
The Springfield Republican warmly
commends Gov. Smith’s message, es
pecially that part of it referring to
public schools, and says ; “ When we
find the white Democrats supporting
public schools for the children of their
old slaves, the attendance of those
children increasing by thousands every
year, the Governor urging the estab
lishment of normal schools to educate
negro teachers, we may, indeed, begin
to hope that the Southern problem is
solving itself.” Gov. Smith did much
to cause that problem to solve itself,
so far as Georgia is concerned.
Gov. Colquitt’s Retrenchment.
Elsewhere we publish Gov. Col
quitt’s special message which enters
very fully into the financial condition
of the State and suggests quite a num
ber of plans and specifications of re
trenchment. The Governor’s statement
of facts and figures will no doubt be
carefully considered by the Legislature
aud, in tho main, endorsed.
The Radicals In South Carolina are
making much ado over the fact that
the vote of Edgefield county was 9,374
out of a population of 35,039, or over
one vote for every four inhabitants.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican de
monstrates that this isn’t up to the
proportion they can show in Republi
can New Hampshire; for instance, 364
votes in Whitefleld with but 1,196 in
habitants, 169 in Danville with only
548, and 80,300 in the whole State with
348,000 inhabitants, or over one in four.
THE SENATORIAL RACE.
THE CHANCES OF THE FIRST
DAY’S BALLOTING.
Will Norwood or Hill Lead--Who will
Grow on the Second Ballot —Will
Gov. Brown go In—What About
Judge Jackson.
|Correspondence Constitutionalist.l
The one question now worrying all
circles in this city is
WHO WILL BE SENATOR?
There never has been a race so near
its consummation about which less can
be predicted than the present one. Any
man can guess at the result. Few men
can give a reason for their guesses af
ter they have made them.
I should say that the leading opin
ion is: Ist. That Hill had a dead
thing of tho race two months ago.
2nd. That he was very badly iujured
by the representations put on his New
York Hei’ald interview, and that ono
month ago Norwood had tho race in
his hands. 3d. That Norwood has
steadily fallen back during the past
month, while Hill has gone forward,
until their strength is nearly equal,
with Hill a trifle ahead. 4th. That
Smith, starting at terrible disadvan
tage, has grown steadily, until he is
now
A VERY DANGEROUS ELEMENT
in the race. sth. That back of all sur
face Indications, there is a strong un
dercurrent put in motion by very deft
fingers, remaining in favor of some
compromise candidate.
Anew phase has been given to the
race by
MR. hill’s GREAT SPEECH,
delivered on Saturday night. There
can be no doubt that this speech did
Mr. Hill great good. To begin with, it
was a grand piece of eloquence. Be
sides this Mr. Hill met, carefully, spe
cifically and in detail, the various
charges that had been brought against
him, and exposed the workings of a
conspiracy that had been organized to
oust him. The speech must make
votes. The Constitution , which has
been non-committal in tho race,
has a warmly eulogistic article, de
claring that Mr. Hill’s vindication is
perfect, and that it caunot imagine to
what slander his enemies will now be
Giiven. The speech will injure Nor
wood very much, and there are those
who say that Norwood’s injury must
redound primarily
TO THE BENEFIT OF GOVERNOR SMITH.
It really seems to be impossible that
Mr. Norwood can be elected, and the
wiser observers are already discussing
as to where his vote will go when he
has fallen to pieces. Smith’s friends
claim the great majority of them, hold
ing that the breach between Hill and
Norwood has extended to their friends
and that they can never come together.
The Norwood estimate is about
this ; Norwood 90 to 106 on
first ballot ; Hill 65 to 80 ;
Smith 30 to 45 ; with Norwood’s nomi
nation on the fourth or fifth ballot.
Hill’s friends estimate is : Hill 75 to
90 votes on the first ballot ; Norwood
75 to 85 ; Smith 45 to 55, wittf a gain
for Hill on every ballot, and not a
single vote gained by Norwood in tho
whole contest if it lasts a year. They
hold that Norwood will reach his ut
termost vote at first. The Smith men
calculate as follows: Norwood 80 to
85 votes ; Hill 60 to 75 ; Smith 60 to
75. They contend that Smith’s men
will stick to him forever, and that he
will never lose a vote. That he will
gain the majority of votes put afloat
upon the inevitable wreck of
one or the other candidates. They
contend too, with great positivoness,
that Gov. Brown will never, under any
circumstances, enter the race. It is un
derstood that Gov. Brown’s possible
candidacy would greatly embarrass
Gov. Smith, as Gov. Brown is working
with his might and main for him. My
opinion is that Gov. Brown will never
go into the race, under any circum
stances.
As for the rest, I believe that Nor
wood will lead in the first ballot by a
trifle. That Smith will be a growing
candidate from the first, and a fine
second choice on all sides; and that
Hill will be elected.
This is of couso merely an opinion.
There are probably hundreds of your
readers removed from the heat and the
heart of the contest who can form a
better opinion than I can. This is my
judgment however, Hill’s chances are
first and Smith’s next. The “field” is
nowhere, and Mr. Norwood is not much
better. All of this prediction may
prove false. In which event you will
have a joke on H. W. G.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Sclineck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS THESE DE
servedly celebrated and popular medicines
have affected a revolution La the heal
ing art, and proved the falla iy of several
maxims which have for many years ob
structed the progress of medical science.
The false supposition that “Consumption is
incurable” deterred physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an ef
fort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured,
and that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by SCHNECK’S Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection • with
BCHNECK’S Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, ono or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
DR. SCHENCK himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more than
forty years,was supposod at one time to be
at tho very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, ftnfjp
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery, many thousands similarly affect
ed have used Dlv. SCHENCK’S prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making
it not absolutely necessary to personally
see DR. Si’HENCK unless patients wish
their lungs examined, and for this purpose
lie is professionally at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday, where all letters for
advice must be addressed.
