The Gulf Stream.

The worcester Spy says:--

the season blUCkaded the CUT OF st. La grencs,
one OF which cut the cid Atlanlc cable, aud

as well defined as that of river by its banks,
which, however, in the case of the Gulf Stream,
are only banks of cold water, past the island OF
Newfoundland and spreading out over the east
ern Atlantic from southern Europe to Iceland,
has been unders' ood to cause the com para
lively warm aud humid atmosphere OF the
which has prevailed there this season
may be an indication that the course
OF this current has changed aud
that it now sets more 10 the east. The increase
OF floating Ice in the track of vessels bouud for
Europe, and TOR the northern seas, would seen
TO be a confirmation OF this theory. To account
for the change in the course of the current, II is
remarked that tremendous eaTthq lakes and
volcanic erupt:ous have marked the past year,
deDotlDg violent internal convulslons OF the
earth, which may, in some unexplained manner,
have Affected the course OF this ceanic current.
The theory seems plausible enough, bat, so lar
as we know, NJ observations have been made
which establish the fact that any change in the
course of the Cult Stream has taken place If
the fact is so it will not be long without proof
from he observation of shiOmasters. The eject
OF such change, causing as it must a natural
and permanent IDodl 6catiou OF the climate of
the whole OF Western Europe, would be an in
resting subject OF speculation.

THE MARYLAND CoNTEsT.-A warm contro-
versy is going on between the Baltimore
american and the Baltimore Gazette in regard
10 the conservative movement in Maryland.
The american, in reply to the declaration that
Baltimore had Democratic majority last fall of
1880, reminds 1t that from eight to ten
thousand registered voters failed to deposit
their ballots. They will be heard in the
Presidential contest. In no instance have
two.thirds Of he registered voters of Maryland
voted; besides. the conservative Democrats
want peace. and there is good reason to hope
that they will withdraw from the radical De-
mocracy." II all the Democrats who repudiate
the Gazette would vote for Grant and Colfax,
the American declares that the state would be
carried against Seymour.

PRoPER.-A Democratic journal in this city
has the following editorial item this morning:
"A negro orator, in the course of speech
recently delivered at q radical meeting in
Georgia, said:-I have no confidence in the
white men who say they are with u.s. I am for
the negroes. and believe the whites are for
themselves. The whites who pretend to be for
us, will desert us in time of tronble. The
negroes should stand by and for themselves ~
We observe, however, that our Seymour friend
neglects to state that the NEGRO orator" re-
ferred 10 was the notorious A. A. Bradley, who
was ANONYMOUSLY thrust out of his seat in the
Georgia Senate by an almost unanimous vote.
Why not tell the whole truth while you are
about it?

p. COOPER TO II. SEYMoUR-The New York
Herald, OF this morning, thus facetiously refers
TO Peter Cooper's letter to Horatio Seymour,
which we published In full yesterday:-"Peter
has written mother letter. Not that there was
any subject up with which he had any peculiar
acquaintance. Not even that he had nything
to say, II we may judge by the letter. But the
glue business was probably dull, time was
hanging heavily on the old gentleman's hands,
and he had a great many scraps on his table
cuttings from recent papers that he did not like
to throw away, and did not know what to do
with, and SO he put them on paper with hi
own glue, and wrote little connective notes be-
tween, and addressed the composition to the
Democratic candidate. This Is our theory OF
Peters letter; for we would like to give it rea-
sonable character out of respect to the veteran
who served the country through the last war
with England by substitute and who in his
old age does not want to see the country he
thereby helped to save made the sport of
foreign and domestic Sarcens.' But we would
advise Peter not to write any more letters not
even by substitute He does very well in
glue"

Our Mistaken Indian Po,iov.

THERE can be no doubt but that II is necessary
for the Government to adopt line OF policy
totally different from that at present pursued
towards the Indian tribes. We are not writing
in anger when We say that 1t would be emf
nently proper for us to select as our line of
action vigorous and merciless policy towards
these treaoherous and cruel ssvsges. 1t is true
that the telegraphs from the West should cease
to daily narrate deeds of assassination, arson,
and wholesale murder. While Peace Commis-
soners are treating and pow-wowing with the
chiefs, the young braves are on the war path,
and crime in every hue is being committed.
Let us do away with this stale pretense OF
treaties. Send out a regiment, pursue with
out mercy these bands of depredators, and
when found shoot them down as though they
were wild animals. As matters at present
stand, we are acting parody on retribution
and exposing our frontiers to these fearful
outrages. The blood of our felow-citizens
cries aloud for vengeance; and the dangers Of
the living unite with the demands of the dead,
to cause us to abandon policy as weak and
foolish as it is criminal.

ONE OF SEYMoUR's DEvIoEs.-Rev. b. 1, Ives,
the Chaplain of the State Prison at Auburn,
asserted few days since that Horatio Sey-
mour, after he had been defeated by Governor
Fenton, pardoned over sixty oonvicts from that
prison, the pardons to take effect after the first
of January. In this way the opprobrlum of the
matter was thrown upon Governor Fenton.

A Son of Douglas.

The Augusta (Ga.) National Republican of
Monday last says:-
Robert. son OF the great statesman, Stephen
A. Douglas, delivered his maiden political
sDeech at Raleigh, N. c., few days since. Mr.
Douglas recognizes the truth OF the lying decia-
ration ot his honored sire, that there are only
two parties in the country nova party of
patriots and party of traitors; and he instnc-
lively arrays himself with the former.

kits vs.. TRowsERs.-The seventy
eighth Highlanders, now stationed a
Montreal, are having a severe test
with their powers Of endurance in
that cold climate. Although there
has only been three inches of snow,
the weather has been extremely cold
and frosted ears and faces are very
common. Until few days ago most
of the soldiers wore kits, but they
are now allowed to wear trowsers,
and most of them have so farconceded
their natural rights as to adopt the
new order. The pipers, however,
having objected, are allowed to wear
the kits. Before the adoption Of the
trowsers the men might have been
seen with bare legs, while on their
hands they had very large and com
Portable gloves. The seventy eigL til

pibroch was SO welcome to the be-
sieged garrison at Lucknow, in India,

The Laboring Poor-A Word for Them.


Since labor is s. scarce, and SO
many are out Of employment, the
New York Tribune urges the trial Of
the eight hour system, with eight
hours pay, by common consent. If.
this be done, tens Of thousands would
be saved from starvation, otherwise
inevitable.
Better far that the surplus labor
ing population Of New York close
their accounts al once, sell off their
campage pola and kettles, and move
west. Wisconsin can employ $4,000
OF them. In Grant county room and
roomage can be found for 1T least
1000, and plenty Of work guess
at $3.50 by the day for common Ia
Dor, or $40. per month aud board
Harvest time nearly double such
rates. Mechanics, 81 90 to $500 per
day. Rents, and perhaps clothing,
are some dearer than in New York.
but IN the main, living expenses are
lower than in any part Of the east
Working people here are never heard
to complain Of either wages Or want
Of work, or chat The wages rates
are out OF proportion with living ex-
penses. Lands arc still cheap enough
nd - long as they - remain there
can be no monpoies to interfere with
labor Rents are dear because the
cost for house building is dear, aud
because there are but few vacant
houses. The better time to remove
to the west is in May or June, at
which time board or log shanties may
be erected in . day which will am
