Governor HoadjYb law partner has been heard from ns to the Waterloo in Ohio. Bluchcr did not get there before the polls closed. He says: “The Dutch didn’t get there, and that settled it.” The Nashville American says that Ber muda grass will not cross a rail or pole laid on the ground. This may be true in one sense, but the Bermuda will certainly get on the other side. Maybe it goes under. The Shoe aud Leather Reporter utters this slander: “A Tennessee man can so perfectly imitate the sounds made by two dogs engaged in fighting that he can call a Memphis congregation out of church in three minutes.” This will do for the hist fish yam of the season. It comes from Boston: “A fishing schooner went out, and in less than half an hour 300 barrels of the fish were on board. They tilled the schooner to the top of the mils. The schooner arrived here yesterday, and the captain received for the day’s catch of fresh mackerel, 82,500 in number, $2,- 208.75, and the crew got half of that sum.” The Rev. Muugasor M. Mangasarian has been turned out of his church because he rejwuliates the doctrines of John Calvin, bnt the gentleman with the multitudinous M s in his name fires this centre shot as he retires: *'Children in Sunday-schools are made to study dry, cruel, metaphysical propositions of theologians instead of the simple, beautiful words and parables of Jesus.” M. Paul de Cassaonac, the Ronapnrtist editor of the Pays, Lus no doubt that the Republic must fall. “The peaceful revolu tion,” said he in one of his latest articles, “which seemed a dream, is now close to a plausible reality. Whatever may he said, we have a banner. It is not the white ting nor the tricolor, hut an immense broom. Once already it has swept from north to south. Next it will sweep from eust to west. That will Ih* the end.” Colonel Avert complains that one of our irreverent Atlanta correspondents attributes an interest in the “Capitol” to Governor Brown. Perhaps tho correspondent natur ally supposed that Colonel Avery would not hesitate to dedicate n daily to his ideal statesman after having made him the hero of a volume. And then ho may have l»oen deceived by appearances. On the third page of the Capitol, there stands an engrav ing of a dude, holding forth the lower end , ... of a female limb, which is being closely | scrutinized through glasses by a Mormon elder, who bear* a striking likeness to Gov ernor Brown. But the young man shull he disciplined on pay day. Assaulting Dr. Curry. The administration has made few for eign appointments of note, that have not been subjected to fierce assaults from the Republican press, and in some coses caustic criticism from those who are supposed to be Democrats. The Keiley case is fresh in the public mind. The Republican and Mugwump press immediately upon his appointment declared war against him, and this power wom re-enforced by Americans living in European capitals, notably Mr. Win. Henry’ Hurlbut, who is charged with disappoint ment at not receiving the mission to Rome. The administration ajjparcntly acquiesced in the objections of the Italian government, in naming Mr. Keiley for the Austrian mis sion. For liis rejection by this court there would seem to be no sufficient rcngin. Dr. Curry, of Virginia, is now being en filaded by the same agencies used upon others: The Catholic Visitor, the organ of the Catholic Church of Virginia, severely attacks J. L. M. Curry, recently appointed minister to Spain by President Cleveland, for his anti-Catholic feeling*, and t>egH the Spanish government to reject him as did the Italian king reject Mr. Keiley. In 1H76 Mr. Curry’ went to Rome to aid in the establish ment of a Protestant mission there. On his return to Richmond he delivered an address before the Southern Baptist convention May 12, and spoke in the bitterest language of tbc influence of the Roman Church. He said Romanism was a canker eating out the public conscience and emasculatiug the <piritual life of the people, aud was worse than pa ganism. Iu an ecclesiastic court, this position of the review iH well taken. The language quoted, if used by Dr. Curry, is calculated to offend nil Catholics, niul is damaging proof ngainst his breadth ns a man. Perhaps Dr. Curry would not now repeat that language, which is just such as is fre quently used by Protestant minister* of all denbminations. But even should he stand by it in letter and in spirit, it will be con strued by all men of culture ns more damag ing to him than to the Roman church. But Dr. Curry’s appointment is in no wise u religious one. Church nnd State nro not joined in this country, and while the people of Spain are Roman Catholics, the government does not cluim to be. Dr. Cur ry’s sentiments are unpleasant to many Spanish citizens, no doubt, but he has the personal right to hold and express them, nnd while the Spanish Court will hardly object to him on this account, it docs not lio in the mouths of Mugw’uuips and Stalwarts, with or without religion, to assail him on this point. If Dr. Curry should go to Spain and serve out his term it is more thau likely that lie would he willing to modify or with draw the language attributed to him Fearing that the assault already com nient«Ml on may he ineffectual, another has been trumped up, to fire the Northern heart. It is embraced in this Washington tpecial: There is a ntory floating around In regard to the Ruv. Mr. Curry, the newly appointed minister to Spain, that, if true, will not commend him to a Re publican Senate for conflrmatiou. It is said that during tbe war be waa an oftlcer in the Confederate army, and was stationed for a time at Anderson- vllle, where so many brave Union soldiers died of Htarvation and inhuman treatiueut. It ta stated that Mr. Curry, so far from endeavoring to mitigate the sufferings of the prisoucrw, was responsible for much of the hardship* and cruelties to which they were subjected. If this report be true, while Spain, with It* former horror* of the Inquisition, may be a much fitter country for his residence than here, be is certainly not the utan to go oa the ac credited minister from this country. This is utterly slinmeleas. Dr. Curry after serving the best part of the war in the Confederate Congress, devoted the re mainder to the army, as a cavalry and staff officer. We do l»elieve that he ever saw Ander- sonville, and if he had been there, his nature would hnve revolted at any unnecessary cruelty or hardship t» Federal prisoners. It is an unfortunate point for the North ern press to raise. General liutler has lmt recently fixed the fact, that all the sufferings of Audersonvrille were directly chargeable to the violation of the rules of war by General Grant, in refusing to ex- i change prisoners. Nothing can 1)6 more certain that such will be the verdict of ini tors nnd actresses are as good chnrch-going people and Christians ns the average, and he is welcome to those who are not. As to the Sunday newspaper, he is correct in a certain sense. By tradition the art of print ing is connected with Faust and the devil, and every well regulated newspaper to this day has an important personage connected with it who is known as the devil. And in this sense and this alone can tho Sund y paper be said to be from the devil. The work on the paper issued on Sunday morning is mostly done during Saturday and Saturday night. It goes from the press, leaving every operative engaged in the issue free to attend church on Sunday, even a revival service, with Brother Munhall in the box. Work on the Monday morning paper takes hut little of the time called Sunday, and that after the day of rest is over. There is a dispute as to what clay is Sun day, and there is a difference between the sun and corrected time. Perhaps Brother Mun- liall lias not noticed this, and may ften bolt a hot biscuit at a very irreligious period. The newspapers of every day in the week contain matter that has been gotten up on Sunday, in the shape of clippings and ex tracts, so the difficuliy of drawing the line at the proper place is embarrassing to say the least. It is rather late in the day to arraign the powerful educator and conservator of mor als, the newspaper, as an evil because it keeps up with the desires and demands of the people. This is not the way to hang the mourners on the horns of the altar. It smacks too much of the days of the New England Puritans, when barrels of cider were whipped because they worked on Sunday. Ah in duty bound *’e are standing by onr guild honestly We rate n man rather by his walk than his pro fessions, nnd it is cheerful to know that Br»tl\gr Munhall has never been an acces sory after the fact to a Sunday newspaper. worst.” The doctor tbeu detailed at length the in-1 constitutional majority in that branch of juriou* effects of tho drug upon the inlndof a the Legislature.

A Senatorial committee has arrived at a conclusion as to big guns: "Tho contest between ordnnnce and armor has been defi nitely decided in favor of ordnance. Of that there can be no question. IVe used to think that tho old Parrott and Rodman guns wore tremendously long. They are short, indeed, com]>ared with the big guna now made. Tbe length ia now determined by the diameter of boro. Thirty diameters is the latest rule. Thus a twelve-inch gun is thirty feet in length. They make them forty odd feet long of the larger bores, Such a gun could not be handled on board hip under the old muzzle-louding process, but it is easy enough on the breech-loading plnn. On the large English ships the gun carriages are operated by hydraulic power. One man with his hand to the levers can do all the work that it used to take a small army of men to do. Power is used even to handle the loads and elevate or depress the gun. Nothing can withstand these heavy gun*. The only thing is to get oat of their way. The ahip cannot be made that will carry armor enough to withstand them. They pierce thirty-inch plate like a shell." where it wm the Union men of all cbi.ee. who did tbi. work,.

A plearino incident, that adds to tho fox’s reputation for shrewcUiesa that is somewhat better than cunning, appears in tbe Liver pool Courier. A Scotch correspondent writes to that journal; “One of tbe stalkers in the deer forest here boa a youn- fox which he caught when quite a cub,"and which he keeps chained to a kennel' near ilia cottage. Tho other day he gave the creature a dead crow, thinking he might like the amusement of eating it; ), n t Reynard,after careful consideration, th’onght tho bird'* condition rather called for decent burial, and therefore he dug with his fore- laws a large enough hole, in front of his cennel, and when finished he put the bird into it, laying it on its hook, with its claws in the air. Tho stalker, who was watching the unimnl, saw him then scrape the loose dirt over the bird so as to cover its body bnt the legs atill stuck tip in the air. These legs seemed to annoy him a good deal, and he triod to press them down with his none. Failing in Inis, and, nfter evidently turning the rnntter over in his mind; he bit the legs off, laid them Hot beside the bird aud then covered everything over with earth." A Watch ’I’m*!

A Connecticut court has de cided it is not necessary that a passenger's fare should he paid in order to constitute him a passenger for hire. If the company receives any benefit in connection with his passage, the permission to ride is not a gratuity in law. But a free pass in the strict sense of the words — a pure gratuity—doea not exempt from lia bility under the tenna of the contract. The same considerations of pnblic policy gov ern, whether the passenger lie one for hire, a gratuitous passenger, or a passenger on a pass exempting the company from liability. The New York Daily News nudges Mr. Cleveland after this fashion; “It is time for the President to realize thnt he was elected hy the Democratic party aa a Demo crat, and that he has ignored the moat active men of that party, who labored night and day for his success.
