Tmt Philadelphia Times thinks that "when
all the Hoptiblican rascals have been iurned
eat there are sevoral on the other side that
may need f. little attention." At the pres
ent rate, howevor, those “on the other side
that may need a little attention" hid fair to
remain neglected during the lmlpnce of this
eelitnry.
The Philadelphia Becord rises to declare
that "the Senate did not require President
Grant and his immo'Mote successors to ac
company suspensions from office with the
reasons for making them, and the Senate
has no right to make such n demand of
Democratic President. There is nothing
in the constitution of the United State
that requires the President to explain why
ho r< moves a public official.”
This, from the Philadelphia Becord, hits
the hydrophobia scare a staggering blow
“Travelers in the East have frequently de.
scribed the multitudes of dogs in the streets
of Constantinople and other Turkish cities
in Europe and Asia. But, strange to say,
the dogs do not go mad und there are no
cases of hydrophobia among Eastern popu
lations. When a Turk is bitten by a dog
he calmly accepts his fate, and this is prob
ably the reason why he escapes an attack
of hydrophobia.”
Tub New York Journal of Commerce, in
a late issue, says: "Members of tho Cotton
Exchange and others were greatly shocked
yesterday by news to tho effect that Mr.
James Beall, a member of the exchange,and
of the firm of James & W. A. Beall, cotton
merchants of long standing and high repute
in this city, had committed suicide in
Georgia, where he was staying on a large
plantation desoendod to the members of
the firm from their father. The deceased
gentleman was highly esteemed, and no
oause, unless it was temporary * aberration
of mind, can he eonjectured which can have
induced the oommisaton of the suicidal
act"
Mr. Ubnry Harries, at the recent meet
ing of the Boyal Meteorological Society,
read a paper in which he proved from of-
floial data that the Manila typhoon of Sep
toolbar 27, 1882, after oroaaing the Pacific,
traversed America and the Atlantic Ocean,
finally arriving in the Baltic on November
1. This is the most remarkable tracing
from day to day of a storm centra of which
we have any rocord, tho distance covered
by the typhoon exooeding 14,(910 geographi
cal miles in tho spuco of thirty-Hix days.
The early meteorologists of this century,
some of whom doubted whether a cyclone
could livo long enough to make the transit
of the narrow North Atlantic, would be
quite surprised at the reault of Mr. Harries's
interesting roeearohes. Now let some of
the weather prophet* get on tho trail of the
recent blizzard.
A new fertilizer la about to be placed in
reach of the Southern planter. The Mont
gomery Advertiser says: "Mr. Jacob
Beese, owner of the basie steel making
patent, was interviewed in Birmingham
tho other day by the Age, and said some
thing of interest to tbe farmers. The iron
ores of Alabama are highly pbospharitie,
and by the boaio process the phosphorous
iaolminated and oomes out in the shape of
phoaphate of Umo. Where the ore is high
ly phosphatie, the phosphate of
lime contains 20 per cent of
pnre phospherio acid. This phosphate,
aocording to Mr. Beese, is worth $21 per ton
as a fertilizer. Aa one-third of a ton of the
phosphate ia produced for every ton of steel
made, the sale of the fertilizer at $21 per
ton would reduce the net cost of a ton of
steel by $7. Thus the advantage is doubled
the agricultural districts gaining a valuable
fertilizer and the cost of basic iron and
steel being cheapened to tbe extent of the
fertilizer's market value."
Upholding the President.
Sir. Banda! 1 writes to the Augusta Chron
ical as follows:
“A very stannch and wise Democrat ad
vises that the leading Democratic papers of
the country, and notably those of tho
South, bear patiently with the administra
tion and refrain from making any attacks
upon it, trusting that time will set all
things right, and allowing for the extraordi
nary position of the President and his cab
inet. I am told that when tbe Democrats
obtained power in the Federal government
there was a well founded apprehension lest
the export and trained ltepnblican officials
might resign in a body, leaving the conduct
of the affairs to undisciplined men of an
other party. As time wore on, the trouble
was that few or none cared to leave their
positions at all, being, like bouse cats, not
the least in love with the new-comers, but
devotedly attached to tbe premises.
“In getting many of these persons out,
by invitation or otherwise, tbe administra
tion has lmd a perplexing experience, mado
all the more difficult and exasperating by a
hostile Senate und a powerful newspaper
press. The Bepublicans now say that they
would not have objected to a wholesale
sweed, provided it had been made on purely
political grounds, but they objected to the
offensive partisan pretext and aro disposed
to annoy the President because, ns they say,
he 1ms given the'signal for the branding of
their friends in numerous instances, as
well as their decapitation. It is not claimed
that the administration has always acted
with wisdom, hut it is asserted, with much
force, that Democrats had better
stand together, in all essential
matters, and let the Kepnblieans do tho
chief purl of the assaulting. Hard ns this
may be, under tho circumstances, it is
urgod ns the best policy, and, as an earnest
nnd independent observer, willing always
to do what seems the most wholesome thing
for the benefit of the party, I submit these
suggestions for general consideration. I
nm tho more inclined to do so, as my voice
has not beon silent in condemning what ap
peared to he the contradictions and mon
strosities of the situation. If pence, har
mony, triumph nnd benefit can ensue by a
judicious silenee orehuritublo construction,
why let us, for a season at least, make the
best of our own administration and hope
for its future prosperity."
Tho South is especially asked to smother
its disappointment nnd trust to luck for
tho future. Twonty years of waiting nnd
disappointment tuny have made the South
capable of any sacrifice, but the President
nod his advisers are responsible for the
lack of confidence nnd cordiality exhibited
toward them by the best part of tbe Demo
cratic party.
The South acceded to tho nomination of
Mr. Cleveland with great doubt and anx
iety. Tho machine methods by which it
was accomplished wore not acceptable to
fair and honest men.
It took every voto that could bo gathered
at any sacrifice to elect him, and those
who were disappointed at his nomination,
did ns mneh to bring about the result as
thoso who had been taken into the ring.
It was a mistake in tho administration to
bestow wh it few official favors it has dis-
triliuted upon those who were actively for
Mr. Cleveland, nnd their friends. It was
not calculated to produce harmony of feel
ing or action.
Tho South had a right to expect that the
llepnblicnn officials, nntivo nnd imported
bo bud linrrassed her for years, would be
promptly removed. Sho was disappointed
in this, nnd was mortified by being notified
that her people should engage in the
business of informers, and in order to get
rid of bad officials, should furnish affida
vits ns to the past acts and characters of
'offensive partisans."
It was not pleasant to the Democratic
party to be told by tbe man they hail elected
to tho highest office of the government, thnt
long and nctivo service, should bo consid
ered a disqualification for official position.
rofessions as to oivi! service reform:
have been notably violated by tlie appoint
ment <>f^uen to office of bad character and
antecedents. Contempt was publicly an
nounced as to petititions, and yet these
documents were held up aa a shield and
excuse for had appointments.

Times must be getting very bard in Ne *

Atlanta is not alone in resistance to pro-
blbition. In Iowa (he courts have been ap
pealed to, nnd at Dnbuqne Judge Shims
1ms recently delivered this opinion: “He
beM thnt he must remand the cases because
the plaintiffs, from their petitions, only
asked to have patties enjoined from keep
ing saloons open,and that this was a proper
exercise of police power by the State, and
no violation of the provisions of the four
teenth amendment of the Constitution of
the United States. He clearly intimated,
however, that if the plaintiff undertook to
restrain a brewery from operating, or
in nnv manner to deprive parties of
their property without compensation,
that then liis ruling might be entirely
different. He said that while attorneys
in their arguments raised and discussed
questions, which, if actually in these
cases, might give the Federal courts
jurisdiction, still as the plaintiffs did not at
tempt to do anything more, according to
their petitions, in these cases than to re
strain parties from carrying on saloons, he
could not now pass upon these questions
not fairly arising in the petitions for in
junction nnd retain jurisdiction. Tho hold
ing of Judge Shiras does not nt all deter
mine that any proceeding to cDjoin a brew
ery under the Iown statute would be con
stitutional, but on the contrary rather inti
mates that in such a case he would retain
jurisdiction, on the ground that such res
traint would bo depriving tho brewers of
property without due procesB of law.
Judge Brewer, circuit judge, has giveD a
similar opinion, which Judge Shiras said he
approved and followed. Tho defendants
gave notice of an appeal to tho Supreme
Court of the United States, and this will
probably tie up the case for a year or so
longer.
The intimation is strong and clear that
the property of men engaged in the liquor
bnsiness can not be confiscated without
compensation. The United States Supreme
Court has not yet met this point fairiy, but
will be compelled to do so before litigation
on tbe subject is ended.
Kxtromo Cold.
The lowest temperature recorded by the
late Greely exploring expedition in the
arctic regions was G3 below zero. The tel
egrams reports this morning a temperature
of 48 below zero in Montana and mercury
frozen in tho instruments. Fifteen degrees
makes but little difference with mankind
when such an extreme is encountered. The
people who endnre Montana weather can
safely endure the colds of the orotic wilds,
l’ractically, there is no difference just now
between Montana and Camp Groely.
shown for the Mugwump deserters than
for the rank and file of the democracy who
won tha Presidential victory, and the Pres
ident himself has made grievous mistakes
passing over prominent and deserving
Democrats to search for “hidden merit."
The party in Congress is torn up into
factions, ami the outlook fra naeful ses
sion and the strengthening of the party ia
by no means bright. For all of this the
administration, and not the Democratic
press, is responsible,
Tbe Democratic press will sustain and
uphold tho- hands of the administration,
whenever it places itself in positfon, where
this can be honorably and consistently
done.
The evangelist business bas produced an
other "boy preacher.” A EaleigB, N. C.,
special says: “A most remarkable case,
which is attracting much attention in this
section, bos given fresh fuel to the fire of
superstition.' Itomnlus Sturdivant is an
estimable citizen residing in Wale county.
He has a son named John, aged sixteen
yenrs. This boy stated to an assemblage
last week that he had received direct in
junction from God to preach the Gospel to
all nations of the earth and that this in
junction had been accompanied by a decla
ration on the part of tho Almighty that in
order to further tbe confidence
of the people in the special call made upon
him the boy would be ninde blind for two
days nnd nights. In strict accord
ance with this divine tbrodt tho
boy was stricken blind at eleven
o'clock last night nnd still continues in that
condition, hut ho says ho will be restored
to-morrow night. He says God also told
him thnt if people did not believo the in
junction given another command nnd tost
wonld be instituted. The boy preached his
first Bermon last Thursday night, nnd last
night preached again. He says thnt God
prescribed tho text, which was taken from
I. .Samuel, twelfth chapter and latter clause
of second verse, "I have walked before
yon from my childhood nnto this day.”
Tho boy has been attending school. He is
in good health and has the ordinary eduen-
oation of boys of his years. While preach
ing he appears as if asleep or in a trance,
hat when the benediction ia announced he
^irows out his arms and shows evidence of
renewed life.
The "Reason." Wanted.
It is ridiculous to suppose that the Pres
ident ought to Send in to the Bepublicans
the Senate his reasons for each removal
he has ordered since taking office. It
would he unfortunate if the President of
the United States should become involved
thousand trials before tho Bcpuhlicon
majority of tho Senate sitting ss a high
court.
Tbe only body that hns any right to de
mand “reasons" of the President is the
Democratic majority iu the House, and the
reasons they want, as representing tho
great Democratic party, are those that keep
him, tbe head of that party, from removing
the remaining Bepublican office-holders
wbo are, as to the dismissed, as 8 is to 1;
and the reasons that prompted him to ap
point Bepublicans.

be unfortunate if the Democratic President
of tho United State* should become in

A naval officer just returned from tho

restated the efforts of able physicians aud quinU

cases of less than six months standing will

"Nay, love!" I cried. "Come hither, stay awhile;
Let me refresh thee, cheer thee with my smile,
Aud mend thy wounded wing*.
My breaet is warm, my pulse throb* fast and wild;
Come rest beside me, come, poor weary child.
While Philomela sinqs!"
Ho Love came to me iu my garden sweet
And nestled in ray arras end at my feet
And kissed ray quivering lip.
The night wore on; I saw the pale moon fade;
And Love withdrew, as though the golden day
Hid beckon him to go.
Trembling, I called him back: "Ah, Love, Love,

My dinging anna thy form care—ed again—
Alas! unhappy fata!’’

While I. alone, with fiercest passion spent.
Did weep, disconsolate.
