* Jam km xi. llaMiat.r, kavr: A desperate at
tempt w ill be nir.de 'by tic Republicans to
break the South’s solidarity, by baiting the
negro with prohibition and the poor whites
■with free education. Having got some of
our people started on the road to fanaticism
in such shapes, the radical leaders look for
■wonderful results politically. They are

It, is said that the probable origin of the
tenn “Woody shirt" is to be found in the
fifth volume of Gibbon's “Rise and Fall of
the Roman Empire.” The third successor
of Mahomet, Othroan, bad been assassinat
ed by one of the Arab factions. Moawlya
who reigned n few years biter, revenged the
dentil of Otliman. Gibbon says (vol. 5, p.
191): “The sacred duty of pursuing the
assassins of Otliman was the engine and
pretense of his ambition, and the bloody
shirt of the martyr was exposed in the
mo--[lie of ramascus,” etc.
The Republicans have caucussc-d again
and again without reaching any conclusion
aa to what they will do with Mr. Cleve
land's appointments. There is some dis
position manifested to kick at the “offensive
partisan” business. The probabilities are
that the appointmenta will generally be
confirmed. Here and thero a Senator may
hare his personal prejudices gratified by the
rejection of some man, but as this wil' not
pat a Republican in, it will not amount to
much. The Republican are sham civil ser
vice reformers, and they will find ont nil of
Mr. Cleveland's had and weak appoint-
meuts and will confirm these in order to
confirm Democratic dissatisfaction. In
view of their eminent services in the con
firmation of John E. Bryant and Emory
Kpeer, Colquitt and Brown will have the
ear and co-operation of Republican Sena-
tors.
The Tinics-Democrut says: "Mr. Brad-
laugh, the professed atheist who was
ejected from the British Parliament on ac
count of his religions principles, or rather
the want of some, has been elected by his
faithttil constituency of Northampton shoe
makers for the fonrth time. The former
somes of violence will probably not be re
enacted. The Parliament assembling in
February next being a new one, baa no
Hpeaker or President,and the first of its acts
sri'.l lie to elect that officer. That, however,
cannot be done nntil there is a quorum of
forty members present. Mr. Bradlangh
has, therefore, only to walk in among the
first forty, and he will be able to take hi*
ao.it unquestioned. By a curious inconsis
tency no oath or affirmation is required
from the members appearing in tbe House
of Commons tbe first day of its existence.
Mr. llrudlangh's presence is likely to precip
itate tbe entire abolition of the oath.

After reading President Tilden's late
message a prominent politician in Washing
ton let himself off as follows: "I tell yon,
sir, we are sold out. Tilden's letter to Car
lisle discloses the basis of the deal. The
coast defense scheme is s job, mercenary
and political It meditates the distribution
of millions of money among the Tilden
coterie of iron-clod statesmen and the ulti-
mate ekvothm of lUndoll to the Presi
dency. Manning is in both the money
making and political branches of the job op
to his eyes. Smith Weed, Bill Scott and
Bare am are its god-fathers. Lamont rep
resents the gang st the White House. The
failure of the President to speak out like u
man about the tariff means that the whole
power of the administration will be se
cretly thrown against Congressional action,
thus enabling Randall to gain an cany vie-
to*7 over Uonvsou, and so sending Carlisle
to the l.one-yard. I tell yon, sir, we are

Solid Ireland.
The result of the recent elections in
Great Britain leaves Mr. Gladstone’s Liberal
party six votes behind the United Irish Na
tionalists and Tories. The victory rests
with Parnell. By a union with either Tory
or Liberal he can obtain almost any reason
able concession for Ireland he may demand.
This victory lias been won by a states
manship so exalted as to call forth from the
leading journals of the world tributes that
would turn the heads of men less resolute
than the Irish leader. The Sun devotes
nearly a column of its space to his cam
paign, which, ns it embraces all that need
be «uid concerning it, wc quote in full:
At the Dublin conference*, convoked soon after
.the opening of the electoral eon teat now virtually
ended, the Parliamentary leprefentative* of the
Irish Nationalbt* took extraordinary uieiunre* to
nectire the discipline and concord for lock of which
tbo hope* of Irinbuicn have repeatedly been wreck
ed. They had recourse to tlie expedient practiced
by the Ilcman Senate at perilous conjnnctures.and,
inventing Mr. Parnell with dictatorial authority,
charged hlxn to sec to it that in the election then
imj*cndiuR the commonwealth of Ireland received
no detriment. There were Irish patriots who chafed
under the temporary suspension of their individual
independence; but, now that the momentous strug
gle at tbe ballot box is over, they will better appro
bate tbe wisdom of conferring jwnvera so absolute
end so anomalous upon the Honif*Kule leader.
All the Irish conetitueucle« have voted, and with
what a marvelous result. For the flint time in the
liiatory of the United Kingdom riuce the ni*e»l of
the act of union, not a single tneiul>er of the Whig
or Liberal party is returned from Ireland to Parlia
ment. Of the seventy seat* belonging to Leinster,
Munster and Connaught, the Tories or Conserva
tives have failed to carry one, except the two sham
seals which by a flagrant contradiction of repre
sentative principles are still conceded to Dublin
University. This clean sweep of the three south
ern provinces is an imposing confutation of the
charge incessantly made In the lost Parliament
that Mr. Parnell had no mandate to speak
for Ireland. Hardly less confound
ing is tbe effect of bis assault upon Ulster, the cita
del of Orangeism, of the English ascendancy, and of
the landlord Interest. Of the XI seats apportioned
to that province he baa won 17—a majority—and
the change cf a few dozen votes from one side to
the other would have returned two of hie lieuten
ants, Messrs. Sexton aud McCarthy, in Delfast and
Londonderry. Add to these delegates sent up to
Westminster by the Nationalist* from Ireland the
one Irishman elected by a British constituency, Mr.
T. I*. O'Conner, returned from Liverpool, and we
rcc aa the first outcome of Mr. Parnell’s dictator
ship a compact, univocal, and Invulnerable phalanx
of 86 Home Hulera in the next House of Commons.
If this were all. it were enough to indisputably
justify the confldeuce reposed by Irishmen in the
political sagacity and tactical expurtness of the Na
tionalist chief. But scarcely less decisive proof of
prescience and dexterity Is supplied by Mr. Par
nell’s management of the Irish vote in British dis
tricts where tbe political conditions were peculiarly
complex and obscure. Alono among the statesmen
aud strategists of the three kingdoms be showed
himself able to divine the enigmatic workings of
the Franchise act and Seats act, and to precompute
the power of the divers forces and reactions
evolved during the campaign. Ho exaggerated
nothing, be underestimated nothing. he
yielded to no promptings of wrath or of
exultation or despondency, he never lost his
head. He seems to have forecalcnlated with amaz
ing exactness the value of the Tory gains i n
boroughs accruing from a stalwart foreign policy,
and from the panic-stricken champions of the Estab
lished Church aud the English land system. He
foresaw that all such accessions would be more
than overborne by the tremendous ground swell of
interest and sentiment which would Irresistibly Im
pel the newly enfranchised maaaea in the English
counties to support their Liberal emancipators.
Therefore It was that the gross ad of perfidy on the
part of the Conservatives that on the eve of the
election forred him to abaudon hie projected can
didature In Liverpool did noj cause him to waver
for an Instant In hla predetermined policy. There
fore It wee that even at the end of the first week's
voting, when tl>e Tories, Asde delirious by theIr
unhoped-fur triumphs In the boroughs, fluegoff
the meek end dinavowed tbetr weighty debt to the
Home Rulers—when, moreover, Irish patriot* in
Scotland, who had. with the beat motives, diso
beyed their chiefs injunction*, besought him to
reverse his instructions and thus retrieve what
eveuta seemed to be proving a woful fault of judg
ment—Mr. Parnell remained Imperturbable, uuper-
•tufted, inflexibly resolved to carry ont the prede
termined programme. "Qo on.” he said to Irish
in England, "go on voting for the Tories! Not
use yon deteat them lees, but because you
Lab Ireland more. By this repugnant course
alone can yon deprive the Liberals of a defiant
majority over ell elements of opposition,
the faco of such a majority yon would be ea
helpless in the future ea yon have been In the
peat.”
It Is fortunate indeed for Ireland that, excepi in
some Scottish districts. Mr. ParneU’a unswerving
directions were faithfully complied with by tbe
Irish electors throughout Graat Britain. Aa It Is,
the liberals, although they win not a seat in Ire
land, display an immrnse preponderance over the
Conservatives, end lack but four nr six votes of
positive majority over Tories end Parnellitee com
bined. How nnaaoailable would be tbeir position,
and how intmctablo their temper, had Mr. Parnell,
in a moment of pique or of dejection, been per
suaded to remodel his sage plan of campaign in the
sixty British boroughs where the Irish voter turned

Rose Cleveland, the President’s sister, was

lady the contagion has spread until nearly

large nutubor of well-developed cases.
Why, last week n woman nbout forty-eight
years old came here and threw herself into
one of the chairs like a three-times-a-
week shaver. Did she want her hair cut?
Well, I should hurry to reply she did. I
run tho shears around up and down tho
back of her cranium until 1 fonnd some
wrinkles back of her ears, and then I
stopped. In a modest sort of way I told
her of my discovery, and recommended n
mixture I have for removing the furrows of
time. Why, sir, that woman was so humil
iated that she left orders to have her tress s
made into a wig and switch, and only yes
terday I saw her promenading on State
street, with her hair fastened on with pins,
nets and strings.
Let me tell yon of- another funny case
over on the West Side. The wife of a
wealthy man came homo one night with her
raven loeka wrapped up in a newspapor
which she carried under her arm. At the
table the servant girl “piped off" her mis
tress, and was stricken with the malady.
Next day the girl climbed into a barber's
chair and paid forty cents for a Tammany
Hall hair cut. Then she was proud. She
waltzed into her basement abode with a
reckless hurrah, and got dinner with a mas
culine dash. When the mistress beheld
her clipped sorvant she flew into a jealous
mssion, and, jnst to wound the poor girl's
mart, donned her bureau drawer switches
and pompadours, and in this headgear she

THE FREEDMAN'S BANK SWINDLE.
Proposing to Appropriate 81,000,000 from
tho Treasury to Pay tho Depositor*.
Washington Special.
Tho Comptroller of tlie Currency, who
was several years ago entrusted with the
duty of closing up the affairs of tho Froeil-
man's Bank, will make his report to Con
gress next week. Mr. Cannon will show
that about os many dividends have been
squeezed out of the assets os they could bo
made to yield and, with the exception of
some real estate which is in liti
gation, there is nothing more left
to divide. The depositors will suffer
the loss of (1,000,000, which is dis
tributed over tbe entire South iu small
sums entirely among tho negroes. They
caunot be convinced thatthesmall amounts
they have received from time to time are
anything more than the interest on their
deposits, and have tlie most ab ding faith
that the government which emancipated
them front slavery will see that their
losses aro made good. The cashiers and
managers of tho branch banks were uni
formed officers of the army, and the depos
itors woie made tobolieve that their money
was being placed iu trust with the govern
ment. Nothing can shake their confidence
in this, and they have no fear of losing any-
thing.
Mr. Cannon makes a pathetic plea in be
half of tho bamboozled negroes, and recom
mends that tlie snm of $1,000,000, or so
much as msy be necessary, be appropriated
from tbo treasury to pay all the claims in
full.
The comptroller submits n bill designed
to accomplish the desired relief, and says
that if the relief is granted provision should
be made for the transfer to tbeUnited States
of the remaining assets of tho compnny, as
it is probable that a considerable sum may
yet be realized from the assets now regarded
as of but little or no value.

A Story Showing How True It I* tliat TImo
Set* all Thing* Even.
Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
There is many a romance going, on in
our midst of which we never dream. I
heard of a pretty little episode which oc
curred at the Bijou Theatre recently, and
which, though fraught with highest im
portance to two lives, was yet unknown to
anyouo else in the audience. They per
haps noticed a gentleman between the acta
go down the aiele and apeak to a lady, and
perhaps noted her little start of surprised
S leosure and her quick response, but they
id not know what it all implied. A Cali
fornia gentleman, who yean ago hod left
hia home to engage in business East,
chanced to be in Boston over night. He
stopped at the Adams Ilonse, and naturally
in tlie ovening dropped into the nearest
theatre, the Bijou, to pass away the time.
There ho saw near the front row a lady for
tthom, when a young man, whilo she was a
young lady in their native town, he felt tho
deepest affection. 8he bad been sent awsy
to a girl's seminary, and as ho soon came
East tbe two lost sight of each other. Now
a happy chance had broght them together,
for sue, happening to be visiting friends in
Boston, bad-been that evening taken by
them to the Bijou Theatre.
These facts be learned in the few woids
of conversation that passed between the
acts. Hhe invited him to call at her friend's.
Of course ho accepted, and, delaying hia
visit here for a week, at the end of that
time deported, taking with him the wife
whom years ago he had wooed, and now so
fortunately won. The romance is true.
