SickIH and uontemntihIe.

At the close Of a letter written from
Evansville to the Mount Vernon
Democrat, we find the following sickly
paragraph 49,
Politically the latest is, that Col.
didate for Congress at tho coming
/ election. The objection urged by
some, that he has not been sufficiently
active during the past four years, is
no objection, but rather a recon-
mendation. [ am emphatically a
Denby man.
Scatteringly yours, LEGAL.
We are somewhat astonished that
the Mount Vernon Democrat would
give publication to such sickly and
! erin qing sentiments as the above con-
tains without one word of comment.
! To say that mans doing nothing for
| the cause of Democracy for the last
| four years, is a recommendation for
! Congress to the Democracy of the old
First District, is too absurd for
sensible man to harbor for a single
moment Under such leaders. holding
such UieacS, the Democratic party
would have long since been in hell
When the truth is found out, we
venture the assertion, that the writer
of that letter was one of the signers
of that infamous Islander that was M
cocted, signed, and published, by the
| officers of the 42d Indiana Regiment,
against the Democratic party, during
the war. Asa
To. say that man who failed, or
refused, to raise his voice or reach
down his hand to assist the good old
Democratic party when it was trodden
under foot and in prison, is a recon-
incubation to Congress, is so con-
temptible we have no patience to
speak of it. 1879

+ We regret to see that the friends of

of the manner in which Democratic

Slavery question, if left to them, will
also be eloquently pleaded in his IA
vor. But the Rockport Iemocrat's
protest will amount to little. The
Democracy of this District seem to
have made up their minds that Spen-

will do for Democratic candidate for

WE are glad to learn that the
attempt of Mr.. FLETCHER to organ
ize an opposition State Constitutional
Com mittee in the Republican party
of Tennessee proved a ridiculous fail
ure. That he should place himself
at the head of a movement to pro-
scribe Northern men was not only
ridiculous, but meanly ungrateful.
We always gave him credit for fdel-
ity to the Union, and cheered him
when he sought protection in our
city as an exile from his home and
State. Northern men always received
him kindly and treated him consider
ately Why he should turn against
and seek to prescribe them is mys-
terry we are unable to solve. He was
not successful At a meeting at
Nashville on the 9th, speeches were
made by Mr.. Speaker CENTER, of the
Senate, Mr.. Speaker RICHARDS, of
the House, and others, deprecating
any and all movements calculated to.
divide the Republican party. Gen.
JOE COOPER, referring to the effort to
organize an opposition to Northern
men, said that Tennesseeans gave
Northern men the right hand of vel
come ia 1852, and they meant to
stand with them, hand to hand and
shoulder to shoulder, now.

her capitalists long since. The delay
in converting the bonds into cash
has occasioned Gen. Boyle much
trouble, because it argued want of

A Severe Penalty for UniOnism.

A man named Miller removed from
Saugerties, New York, a few years
ago, to South Carolina, where he mar
ried. Upon the outbreak of the war
he was forced into the rebel ranks,
though still thorough Unionist.
When Sherman made his appearance
in that State, he escaped from the in
surgent lines, and reaching the Lieu
tenant Generals camp, impaired very
valuable information to him. When
our army reached the sea, Miller came
North to Saugerties. He remained
there until the war was closed, and
then returned to. South. Carolina.
Thereupon the civil authorities ar
rested him, and after being tried, he
was sentenced to be hanged. The
principal charge against him was that
he had given information to Sherman
which led to the capture of property
which belonged to his brother in law
He is now in confinement, waiting the
execution of his sentence. The at
tention of the Government, however,
has been directed to his case, and his
friends are confident that the neces-
sary steps will be taken for his re-
lease. 1t would be an ineffaceable
disgrace if the Government should
fail to afford relief in case like this
one.-SyTdcase Journal.

tire Santa Radegonda, Milan. "She is

ure and an ample voice, with sur
prisingly low notes. She sings, to say
the truth, with method sui generiis,
filings cut her notes with wonderful
certainty, but when she would refine
them, she finishes, not seldom. by
becoming inaudible. To sum up
she has great means, but an imperfect
method. The same journal speaks
with praise of Signora Corinna ST.
oli, who has appeared at the Car
canou Theatre, and whose greatest
ult is said to be her youth.

The project of connecting the tele-
graph with the post Office is considera-
bly, discussed in the English papers,
and it is stated that the British min
istry favor the scheme. The main ar
gument for it is that the Government
can do the business cheaper than pri-
vate companies are likely to, and that
the telegraph virtually connects itself
with the post Office, and will do so
more and more as the business be-
comes more thoroughly systematised
and made available for the masses of
the people. In this country the idea
grows in public favor, and there is a
common conviction that it must event
ually be reached. The plan talked
now about at Washington, is that the
Government shall try the experiment
on a small scale, by building a line
from Washington to New York, and
transmitting dispatches at very cheap
rate, some say as low as three cents
for dispatch of ten words for that
distance, and five cents more for deliv-
ering. rlr

AN interesting discovery has recent
ly been made in London, connected
with the old portrait of King Richard
the Second This picture, which has
been known for centuries, and many
times copied and engraved, was laid
away in 1775 in chamber in West
minister Abbey, where it remained
in obscurity and forgotten until
1857. 1t was first described and
engraved - in 1713. Copies we're
made in oil, and it was several
times engraved during the last
century. The picture was recently
exhibited at the Kensington Portrait
Exhibition, when, on being closely
scrutinized by artists and picture
dealers. it was discovered that what
was visible was not the original paint
ing, but the result of successive coats
of paint, entirely covering up the orig
inal. These re- ouchings, or layers Of
paint, have now been entirely removed
and the real old picture, painted APP
parently from life about the year 1900,
has been revealed in an almost perfect
state of preservation.

CURIOUS STATIsTIcs.-In lecture
on New York in the Nineteenth
Century" delivered by Rev. DR.. Os-
good recently before the New York
Historical Society, it was stated that
that city has a population of over
a million, and some $4,000 dwellings.
The value of her property is 81 900, :
100000. Her manufactured products
amounted in 1865 to $159, 900, 900, or
nearly one-eleventh of the entire
manufactures of the country. Her
receipts from customs last year were
over $100,000,000. With the usual
rate of increase her population in 1900
will reach 4,000,0 900 souls. The speaker
gave some statistics gathered from the
unpublished census of 1865, from
which it appears that there are in New
York, q regiments, 1000 each, of
boiler makers, A regiments of butch
ers, II regiments of brokers, 3 regi-
ments of shoemakers, Al regiments of
cartmen, 172 regiments of clerks, ]
