This constituted an obligation which was recognised

STOPPING PoINr.--According TO the National
Wing, there are fifty thousand public ofiicers--oi
which number that paper states that at least forty
seven thousand were Of the Democratic party, nj
the time Of Gen. Taylors election, and three thou
sand Wings The compensation of these officers
twenty to nine in favor OF the Democrats. Taking
these statements correct II would to be the
duty of government 10 reduce the disparity both in
equitable distribution Of public favor. Against
proceeding of this kind there can be no just cause
OF complaint for party possesses exclusive right
to The public Offices and emoluments. When The
fifty thousand Offices Of the country shall have been
distributed somewhat equally between the two par
Ties, and the government shall still continue 70 re-
move, II will be time enough 10 complain OF pro-
scription, and to accuse the President with having
violated his word. As The President Of the whole
people and not the mere head Of party he is bound
to DO justice TO all parties and this we presume he
will do however loud may be the camors Of the in
terested, or harsh the denuncations Of his oppo-
nents. baltimore Clipper.

The Cemeteries.

Nearly all our cemeteries are under water so us to
cause great Inconvenience In the burial OF the dead
Yesterday hearses were driving about from one ce-
metery to another, in the vain search OF dry place
TO deposit the dead The Protestant cemetery at the
foot Of Girod street, Is about two feet under water,
but Mr.. Bakesley, the superintendent has provided
scafoldng and bridges, BY which the communica-
lions through the geonnds are kept open and burials
can proceed without much Inconvenience. The
Potter's Field is also flooded. The tops of some Of
the graves are bareIy discernibIe above the water
ann In stepping over them, the foot sinks, until Il
meets the coffin below. A large portion Of ST. Pat
rck's and even of the Fireman's is also flooded, and
the Isrealtes cemetery Is several feet under water
This Is particularly unfortunate 10 our Hebrew
friends, as their religion requires that their dead
should be buried under the ground. We understand,

While alone our fond hearts anguish,
And no more thy smiles we know.

Flows the sad and silent tear;

"PIcK THE FLINT AND try N.'--Some
have supposed that Henry Clay had been
forever Withdrawn from the Presidential
course, that his friends would never again
bring forward his name as a candidate for
admission into the White House. This, it
appears, is a mistake; for the "Paihfnder,"
in consideration Of his anli-slavery progress
as evinced in his recently proposed plan for
emancipation in Kentucky, dominates him as
a candidate for 1885, that being The earliest
period at which any Of the slaves will be
freed by his scheme. Who knows but we may
ourselves yet cast a ballot for Harry of the
West; for it Kentucky adopts his plan, it
will be The very last place upon earth where
slavery will have a f%oothold; and pro-slaye-
~ constitutions will be given 10 the moles
and bats long before then, for Disunion will
have wrought its work,
