IsS'r IT BARELY POSSIBLE that there Is
something too much of Purcell versus Shep-
herd, aud viee versa, In this community 7
Therei Ia reason to fear that these worthy gen.
tlemen may eventually succeed In boring
their friends. A surfsit Of nonsense Is pos
slble, even In the general slackness of busl-
ness and the sweet do-nothingness of the
dog-days. A matter of few dozen columps
more or less, Is neither here nor there; hut a
continual feast of full pages is likely to be.
come monotonous. In such case II is like
the Goldfish which the boarder finally declined
to indulge In, remarking to his landlady that
1t "was a very good article Of food for sixty
or seventy consecutive meals, but wasn't Just
the thing for regular diet" Let all par
ties be admonished that the statute against
barratry still exists, and that the water In our
raging canal is deeper and far dlrtler than
the AnacoStia at Bladensburg.- ELpreSs, Sat-
urddy.
Dont trouble yourself, neighbor. The
public will tell us when they have had
enough, by declining to purchase the REruB-
LIcAs. A sale Of over six thousand copies,
besides our regular edition, on Saturday, does
not look much as though the public consid.
ered the publications about the libel suit a
bore Just yet.

Foreign Emisr.tion to the United

Emigration to the United states from all
parts Of tho world is steadily on the increase,
and tho statistlcs Of the present year will
probably show a greater number of emil
grants landed on our shores than during any
previous year. Besides the AsIatics, who
are coming In hordes from China, nearly
every country in Europe Is pouring forth It's
Inhabitants, and our ncighbor Canada Is not

EVERY once In a while tho young men Of
this country take fresh start In the way Of
physical improvement. When the great
fight between Heenan and Sayers occurred,
the air resounded with the clink OF dumb
bells, and gymnasiums and boxing gloves
we're the order Of the day. Base ball next
claimed attention; and the excitement on
that subject has not even yet died out among
the professionals. Contests on the water are
now the fashionable sports Of tho season,
and the young men Of America develop
their aexors and extensors with q "long
pull, q strong pull, and pull altogether"
We think 1t was Oliver Wendell Holmes who
wrote so well Of the necessity of having a
sound body, In order to make the brain work
up to Its Highest degree Of power. MANY a
man has brilliant mind, which, like a good
engine, only needs sufficient steam to make
Its machinery most available. The old
theory Of all study and no exercise has been
exploded, and 1t Is a truth now generally
recognized and acted on, that man with a
good digestion and healthy body can do
more mental work, and do Il better, In
given time, than the pale student who de-
votes all his time TO intellectual discipline.

A MODEL OFFIoIAL.-The Chicago (Ill.)
Times says "The shooting Of Tom Logan,
Of Murphysboro', when Invested Of all Its
drapery, Is at once q scandalous and ludi-
crous affair. It seems that Logan was drunk,
and his brother. in-law mayor Blanchard)
arrested him, being In the same condition az
Logan. They went together to the jail,
where Blanchard intended leaving Logan
until he became sober, trusting to luck as to
how he would get sober himself. They went
inside the lookup together, When another
fellow, drunken, If possible, thzGthe others,
shut the door and locked them both in,
where they had TO remain over night. The
shooting grew out Of this affair, and In itself
was Of no very great consequence. The bali
struck Logan In his forehead, but did not
penetrate any depth, and he will be soon
over 1t again. The whole corps Of Murphys-
boro' officials have been on regular drunk
for o week, and have ruled with high
hand. Murphysboro' 10 the hardest place In
the State, and makes an admirable showing
of the beauties Of Democratic rule"

The Democracy few weeks since boosted
confidently that they would carry the State
Of Pennsylvania at the election which comes
OF In October. They calculated on divls-
Ions, dlsafection, and distrust In the Repub-
liam party! They said that President Grant
and his administration In making the ap-
pointments must necessarily dlsappoint q
good many, and that these disappointed peo.
plo with their friends will DO sure to bolt.
Now Is tho time, said they, whom wo will sec
whether the Republican party Is capable Of
being christalyzed into ono homogeneous
whole, or whether, in thls disposal Of the
officers and tho patronage Il will break up
into fragments, 60 Into decay, and ultimately
pass away, and only DO known as an organ
ization oftho past. They confidently affirmed
that it was egtts, and must soon die out, and
be among the things that were. Now Is the
time, said they, for the old Democracy to
buckle on the harness, re-enter the fold re-
inyigorated, and thus achieve one OF Its old
fashioned victories. Accordingly, they bring
out their strong man for Governor; man
especially strong In solid cash, having mil
lions OF dollars In his possession.
But money will not win against the Re-
publican party, and Is wholly impotcnt to
mako q ripple against the popular hold
General Grants Administration has upon
tho party and the public mind. Those who
calculated that President Grants Admins
tration. would DO unpopular, already soc,
and many Of them acknowledge, that they
have made signal mistake. The present
Administration Is bound to stand high in
public confidence, and Is daily winning in
creased favor with the people.
There may be, there possibly Is, some dis
satisfaction with some Of tho appointments
among perhaps, few, but this Ia Of no
account. The intelligent masses believe In
and love the Republican party, and they do
not caro- for what few disappointed office
seekers may gay. They believe In General
Grant. They believe In his patriotism and
in his honesty.
They believe In his Cabinet Ministers, In
their capacity and integrity, and moreover,
they believe that We are to have an honest
economical and perfectly upright and Just
administration Of public affairs.
The people arc right In their estimate of
ourgrcat Chieftain and his associates. Now,
what Of Pennsylvania Why, the same
views and notions prevail there among the
masses Of the Republicans that prevail every.
where else. We were satisfied of this be-
forehand, but We have seen and conversed
within few days with several leading men
from tho Keystone State, and they tell us,
every ono, that Gary will go over the course
triumphantly. These gentlemen know we'll
whereof they affirm, and they are confident
Of success.
