HANGS FIRE.-The nomination of Long.
street for Collector Of Customs at New Or
leans hangs ere 10 the Senate. Longstreet
was one of the most gallant Generals in the
rebel service during the war; but since the
surrender at Appomaito1 Court House, he
hSs evinoed willingness to eat any amount
Of dirt if thereby be might proPitiAts radical
favor. His letters 10 favor of negro suffrage
are still fresh in the public mind, aud were
scarcely less disgusting than his apologies
for radical Outrsges upon the Southern peo-
pie. 1t now turns out that no amount of
selfNabasement will entitle an ez>rebel to
hold office under q radical Administration,
aud accordingly We 6nd the entire republican
press protesting against Longstreets appoint
ment, and calling upon the Senate to reject
his nomination. This is right Had Long
streets abusement been rewarded, We should
have had the spectacle of hundreds of 9TH
erS exhibiting their proficiency in dirt eat
ing" if thereby they could secure an ap.
pointmeBt to 4 crossroads post Office.

Spirit Of the Republican Press.
As the nomiu alton Of Gar6elde is conceded
to be a fOregone conclusion, we copy brief
extracts from articles 10 the Transcript and
Tribune, the leading organs Of the party, as
Indicating the estimation in which he and
his mongrel clique are held by the straight
out republicaas. The Transcript says:
"In justice to the more respectable por-
ton of our community, whose feelings were
so grossly outraged by the action of major.
ity Of the Good Templars last Saturday, We
deem it our duty to truthfully expose them,
so that all temperance men, whether belong
ing to the order or not, can judge of the
motives Not because these men have had
different political preferences, but to show
the position in which they placed themselves,
and in justice to those few who did not de-
sert their principles or violate their pledges.
These men placed themselves shoulder to
shoulder with the most obnoxious Of the in'
temperate of our community, saloon keepers,
gamblers, whisky drinkers; organizing .
political ring in which the lowest dregs Of
society were combined, placing their names
for suffrage with them, upon tickets headed
with insults to the party opposing and vOt-
ing these tickets in direct violation of their
-A~A.Ad honor and obligatinnsA1Thns they
worked with persis,eucy deserving better
cause. The proportion of temperance men
on the opposing ticket although not as many
Good Templars, out numbered them. But
this mattered not. They had been promised
to receive numerous county offices and other
places of profit they had been bought and
sold like sheep at the shambles."
q, The Tribune says:
at seems that, for some days prior to the
time fixed for the convention, the friends Of
Mr.. Gar6elde had their agents scouting
through all the country bordering on the
shores Of the Sound, in logging camps and
elsewhere, drumming up recruits, regardless
of their political procliVities It mattered
not>Whether they were republicans or demo.
Gratis one was as good as another, if be
could be relied upon to vote for the Garfelde
delegates. That was the only consideration
Nor did it matter whether any Of these men
wonld be in the Territory on election day
in June next; they were obtained for pre-.
sent-not future-serVice.
"The Gar6ede faction carried this pre-,
cinct, 90 Saturday last, by coalition OF the
temperance men, the gamblers, and the
drunkards. A most wonderful fusion, sure.
ly; and one that proves the truth of the old
adsge that politics makes strange bedfel
lows" But gamblers are smart, and they
always win when they take hand with
greenies.
" But for this disreputsble transaction, a.
unworthy of professors of religion as it wac
of Good Templars, all the votes imported
from the surrounding country and logging
camps would have avsiIed them nothing"

Row AMONG THE FENININEs.-"Wim
in, said the elder Mr.. Weller, "wimin
is rum creeters." If there is one thing
wemen excel in more than another, it
is in getting up row in short meter.
There seems to be natural antagopism
in the sex, and the spark of wrath each
woman carries in her breast against her
sisters needs no great puff Of jealousy,
envy or any cause to fan it to flame.
This was demonstrated yesterday be-
tween couple of the softer sex living
in the neighborhOod of Sycamore alley
and Seventh street. We didn't rightly
get at it whether one had said the other
was mo better than she should
be-" or whether she had said
the other was ugly and wore false teeth.
However, they came to blows, and such
scratching and squesling and hair pull
ing this heartless world hath seldom
looked upon. We did not reach the
scene of action until the fight was over,
but there were all the signs and debris
of hard fought battle. Here lay a yard
or so of dilapidated calico; there several
hairpins and chunk out of q chignon.
yonder again two sets of hoops, ruined
for this world. The lady who got the
worst of 1T had started for 4 policeman
at the last accounts, and, if successful,
we'll hear all about il this morning.

A CAPITAL IDEA.-The Citizens Rail-
way Company, always anxious to ac'
commodate all their patrons, have de-
termined to run silver palace sleeping
cars on the road for the benefit of those
of their passengers who find it impossi-
BILE to ride the length or even
half the length of the line with
out spreading themselves out on the
seats at full length. We suppose no
extra charge will be made for berths in
the sleeping cars, as these fellows who
thus violate all decency and good
breeding by stretching themselves out
on the seats are about as short of dimes
as they are of sense.

Sun SPoTs.-The large sun spot to
which attention was called on the l4th
of April, and which disappeared over
the western edge of the disc on the 2lst,
has returned, according to expectation
1t may be seen by the aid of a small
telescope, on the eastern limb of the
sun. In shape it is not unlike a fore
shortened clover leaf, which is very
different from its appearance on the oth
of last month. By the 18th inst. it will
have disappeared a second time over
western limb.
4 recurrence of the northern lights
during the next fortnight, of the magni-
tude of the display which occurred dur
ing the recent transit of this ddsky spot
over the suns face, would be interest,
ing as giving color to the supposed in,
fiuence of the spotted condition of the
suns surface in producing such dis,
plays. The general coincidence of years
of most sun spots, and years of most
frequent displays of the aurora borealis
was pointed out long since by meteorol-
og,sts. To-day upwards of forty spots
small and large, are visible on the sun,
disc.

law and driven his subjects to revolt, is
offered an asylum by Jupiter, who sends
his courier, Mercury, to escort his guest
to the Hotel d Olympic. AS soon as he
arrives IN the celestial abode, the incor-
riglele LrioH begins desperate Irritation
with Venus, which excites the ire and
jealousy of her husband, Mars,
who invites the earth-born Lothario to
pistols and coffee" A diversion Is,
however, effected by Cupid, who turns
the current of LziOR'S hayward fancies
IN another direction. Imperial Juno,
the spouse of Jupiter, is now the object
OF iriOH'S audscious love, and the tender
feeling is fully reciprocated by the god
dess. The other inhabitants of Olym-
pus, who are highly scaHdalized at
these improper proceedings, particular
ly Venus, who has been sighted, and
Winerra, who has in vain endeavered
10 attract the attention of the handsome
young mortal, lose no time in informing
Jupiter of the danger which threatens
his domestic repose. The result follows
that IrioH is ignominiously expelled
from the abode of the gods, whose hos
pitality he has profaued, and sentenced
to everlasting punishment "at the
wheel"
The soul of the performance, says the
Baltimore Statesman, speaking of this
play, was Miss Blanche Chapman. This
young actress, who has been
steadily improving upon the first i'm
preston she made in Cinderella, and
who, on Friday of last week, the even
ing of her beneft-the first occasion of
the kind in her professional career-re.
ceived an ovation of which any actress,
though an acknowledged queen of the
stage, might have been justly proud
has achieved her most decided success
in the character of IriOn. Admirably
dressed-looking every way like tn Q
young Lothario she is sup
posed to representative seems to have
caught perfectly the spirit of the piece
and of her part. There is something
exceedingly amusing in the airy impu-
dence with which Lrion narrates to Ju-
piter the story of his crimes and of his
subjects revoltS and requests the Thun-
der-bearer to stop the rain and light up
the moon; with which he makes love by
turn to Veaus and to JHRo-langhs at
the anger and the threats of MdrS-rand
finally, like Don Juan in Moliere's COM
edy, accepts his final and inevitable
doom.

THEIR HORSES HAVE CoME.-The
horses for the Atlantic Steam Fire En-
CINE arrived last night. They are a
fine, heavy bay team and cost $3.50
The steamers are now all supplied with
teams, and will be ready to turn out at
the "tap of the bell" so soon as the
horses learn their business, which will
be but a short time. We notice these
improvements in the condition of the
fire department with greatest satisfac-
ton. Now let us have good paid de-
partment of eighteen or twenty men,
under the command of an efficient
Chief Engineer and Wheeling will take
place with other "cities of the first
class" as they say in Ohio.

A BULL IN A CHINA SHoP-No, not
that either, but COW in stationery
shop, was the Main street sensation yes
terday. About 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, as Archie PAUL was busy
reading his paper, and awaiting the APP
pearance of his first customer, a roar
rang through the store like the clamor
of Gabriels trump, starting Archie from
his scat and soaring him out of a years
growth. Looking for the cause of the
internal din, he saw cow standing
about midway of the store, gazing con-
tently on some handsome specimens of
wall paper and believing out her ap-
proval of the design. To seize broom
and hurry her out of that was the work
of but few secoads, not that her appear
ance in the store was displeasing to him
but then he couldn't tell what might
happen if she stayed long.

INDIGNATION AMONG THE CANNES
A mass convention of the dogs of this
city was held night before last in the
Second Ward Market House to take
into consideration the movement on
foot to destroy at least two-thirds of
the dogs in the city. We have not
heard whether the deliberations were of
a nature calculated to breed spirit of
antagonism, OF whether their delibera-
tions were disturbed by, fellows going
home from beer saloons or billiard rooms,
anyhow their deliberations were not
harmonious. A bench-legged fee from
from Ritchietown manifested his disap
prevail of remark made by big white
dog from the First Ward. The First
Warder, over confident, reached round
and took the fee by the ear and was
proceeding to chaw him up, when
q NANCY cur from East Monroe street
interfered in behalf of the smorl
dorg. He in turn was seized by .
Scotch terrier from the Fifth Ward,
who had just trotted up, with some
friends from the SIKH. The foreigner,
however, had a rough time of it, for
about dozen ours of high and low de-
gree, who had been coRtentedly sitting
on their launches waiting for the meet
ing to be called to order, made terrific
onslaught, and we're not slow in nip
ping delicate morsels from the hind legs
of the imported rst-catcher. Then into
the thickest eff the fight plunged little
black and tan purp, and didn't the 9TH
ers make it warm for him!
Then this beautiful rattan terrier purp
Did worry and twist and turn
! Till naught you could see Of this terrier purp
! But an inch Of his tail Astern.'
The fight was becoming general
when q small boy with his clothes tored
behind let brick sail int the party,
breaking up the meeting in disgust. 1t
is said these meetings are to be held
nightly until the fifth section Of the or
dinance in relation to dogs shall be fully
aud strictly enforced.

BASE BALL.-As the base ball season
has now fairly opened and our Battles
are getting themselves in shape for a
tussle with the "Red Stockings" of
Cincinnati, the following from the
Commercial may prove interesting to
them:
The Cincinnati Club have received
and accepted challenges for series of
gam6s to be played here and in the
East, from the Unions, (Haymakers) of
Lansingburg, Atlantic, of Brooklyn,
Keystone, of Philadelphia, (the Key
stones have a stronger nine than the
Athletics this season,) and the Mary
land, OF Baltimore, the champions of
the South, The return games will be
played by the Cincinnatis while on
their eastern tour, when they will play
twenty-seven games. They start on
their trip on the Sd of June, and will
return on the Sd of July. The Antioch
College Club, of Yellow Springs, will
be here on Saturday morning, and will
play the Cincinnatis in the afternoon.
The Olympic Club, of Washington, at
whose hands the Cincinnats suffered
their first defeat last season, will be
here the latter part of this month.
They have arranged series of the best
two out of three games, to be played
with the Cincinnatis. Matches have
also been arranged by the Cincinnatis
with the Forest City Club, of Rockford,
Illinois, the champions of the North
west, the Forest City Club, of Cleve-
land, Riverside, of Portsmouth, Baltic,
of Wheeling, and Enterprise, of Chicago.
The latter club presents a strong anna
teur club this season, as the Atlantics
and Excelsiors of that city have con-
solidated, and play under the name of
Enterprise. The Bluff City Club, of
Memphis, will be here about the middle
of June, and will play the amateur
Cincinnatis, and the other clubs in this
vicinity. On the 2lst inst. the Cincin-
nats leave here for Fort Wayne, Indi-
ana, and play the return game with the
Kekiongas upon the following day, the
22d.

YEsTERDAY.-Yesterday was nice
one-for ducks. The way the rain
poured down sometimes was a caution
to people troubled with hydrophobia.
When the sun came out, between show
ers, nature looked gay, with her face
washed. This rain was most oppOrtune.
There was corn and potatoes in every
drop of it, and farmers smiled as it fell
as if they had discovered gold mine.
To be sure these heavy showers shut
people up in the house and make items
scarce, but we can stand it, in the
bright visions of strawberries, blackber-
ries and roasting ears, seen through the
dancing drops.

POLICE CoURT.-The cases before
Judge Good yesterday were disposed of
with celebrity. There weren't many of
them. Well, we'll, we couldn't live if it
rained items all the time.
Thomas Rock is q hard case. Rock is
a stony-hearted wretch. Thomas is q
broken Rock. We have been told by
temperance lecturers and others, so
many times, that rum was the rock on
which many a noble bark foundered
that we have come nigh to believe it.
But this case is different; this Rock has
been wrecked on rum. Or rather fusil
oil. It's much the same. Thomas was
found by an officer, drunk on the side
walk in the Seventh Ward. He walked
him from his slumber and advised him
to 90 to his Hockey Iecesses or fastness,
wherever else he might call it home.
Thomas rolled over and began to swear
and call names and do other abomina able
business. Then spoke up We kindly
