New York In 1879.

In the recent New York State elec-
ton, the Republicans vote fell short
about 5,968. and the Democratic vote
26, 458. The Republican majority was
$4,000. Had all the Republicans voted
and all the Democrats voted, the DEM
ocrrtic majority would have been over
1900. The just indignation against
local Organization of the party in the
city of New York kept from the polls
26, ,45S Democrats. But what of the
Democrats whose indignation made
them vote outright for the Republican
State candidates? There must have
been thousands of such in both the
city and State. Having given expires
sion to their just resentment by quiet
Or active opposition to their own party
nominations for State officers, and
rammany having been ground to
owder, we look for the Democrats to
work vigorously next year TO defeat
he greater than Tammany rascais at
Washington who control the Republi-
IAN organization. They will not allow
heir indignation to cool before the
White House and Executive Depart
nents are purified OF the stencil OF
corruption that pervades every cnam-
'er and avenue of approach to them.

Z A Texas EDITOR AND ACLEAN SHIRT
we are told, have first
rate time in Texas. The ladies OF q
town out there having given to the
editor an embroidered shirt, which
contains splendid history of Texas,
including the war with Mexico, and
the meeting of the first legislature,
and also pictures of the fruits and ce-
reals of the State, all worked in red
yarn and worsted. The editor never
wore shirt before in his life, and he
thought it was banner for q temper
ance procession which was to come
off the next week. So he made little
speech of thanks, in which he said he
would fling it out forever to the
breezes of heaven. that they might
kiss its folds, and till his hand was
palsied il should never be trailed i'm
the dust--never." The ladies did not
understand him, and when he spoke
about it's trailing they blushed, and
said they were very sorry they made
it too long. But a committeeman
took the editor aside and explained
the shirt to him in a whisper, and the
next day he eappeared at his Office with
that shirt mounted over his coat, and
wrote four columns of explanation
for his paper. The shirt is much adj
mired by the boys of the town, for
when the editor goes out to walk they
follow him in regiments studying the
history of Texas and the fine arts on
the back of the shirt. -

Indignation, remarked to his compan-
ion, loud enough to be heard by every
person in the room (" If I had money
enough to buy the Court, I'D take

head !" The colored man continued
his meal in silence, and, alter finish
ing, made inquiries as to the identity
of the beligerent young gentleman
who had made the above quoted re-
mark. Ascertaining that he was a
Government clerk, he laid the matter
before the head of the Department
where the "nigger" hater was employ
ed, who at once summoned the young

made against him. Clericus Sac

sUrroRr your HOME sEwsrArEE.

This is the season of the year when
the large city newspaper and magazine
publishers are sending out their pro-
spectuses into the country, and every
postofice is flooded with "great in

that periodical. This is all right pro-

prosperity, and more sincerely inter-

licafions combined. A contemporary
says on the subjects: Do the city pa
pers say anything in regard to your
own county Nothing. Do they
contain notices of your schools, church
ss, improvements, meetings, and hum
dreds of other local matters of interest
which the county papers publish with
out pay? Nota an item, Do they ever
say word calculated to draw atten-
ton to our county and its numerous
thriving towns, and aid in their pro-
gress and enterprise? Not q line. And
yet there are men who take such con-
tracted views of this matter that, un-

General Ewing,s Financial Plan Finds

FROM RELIGIOUS STANDPOINT
The New York Observer (reIigious

estimate of the amount OF money li-
verted from the Government Treasu-
ry by the whisky frauds on the reve-
nue., by the evasion OF taxes, by dis
honest collectors, and many frauds
which from time to time have been
exposed and have now been forgotten,

ten years there has been a fearful
work of decentralization going on, and
that il needs powerful revival of

The Marietta Mdriettidn, Repub-

which not only shows honesty, but
also good sense:
politicians are considerably wor.
ried because there is tie in the Ohio
Senate. Some pretend that the Lieu
tenant-Governor, President ex-Ollicio
OF that body, has right to vote tor
officers in its organization, ana for the
passage of laws, in case OF a Tie. This
would be a fragrant violation of the
constitution and a public outrage.
That officer has the right to unite the
Senate i'm all matters of routine busi-
ness-on all parliamentary questions !;
but when it comes TO electing officers
and making laws. he must be counted
out, not being member of the Sem
ate. The election OF officers can be
easily enough managed. Let them
cast lots as to which party shall have
the choice of the offices. and then al

VERY ALARMING If rRUE-A PLAGUE
or DARKNESS COMING.


OF DARKNESS COMING.
A very disagreeable prophecy is
quoted by the Jodrndl de Bruzelles.
The prophecy is attributed TO the
venerable Anna Maria Taigi, and is to
the effect that two great tchastisements
may be expected one from heaven
and the other from earth, The latter,
which will consist of wars, revolutions
and othercalamities, being terminated
that from heaven will succeed, and is
explained as follows; Great dark
ness is TO prevail over the whole land
during three days and three nights
It will be so thick that absolutely
nothing will be visible, and will be
accompanied by pestilence which will
chiefly fall on the enemies of religion,
although the scouPge will not be con-
fined exclusively to them. While this
darkness lasts no light will shine, no
fire win have any brightness, and only
those who have blessed things (can-
dies p will be able to see. All this is
very horrible and it is to be hoped the
lady may be mistaken in her predic-
lions, and that they may turn out to
wave, which was the other day to have
destroyed New Orleans. The prophet
ess, however, gives full directions as
to the proper course to be pursued
during this reign of darkness and pes.
thence. People are exhorted not to
endeavor to scan, the heavens curious
ly during the darkness, for whoever
shall go and look out of a window, or
leave his house for the purpose OF des-
CRYING what is passing in the firma-
ment will be Immediately struck down.
The whole time that the judgment
shall last should be employed in prayer
and above all in reciting the Holy Ro-
sary. The director of Anna Maria
Taigi said in August, 1864: g 1t is
most true that the venerable servant
of God announced the scourge of three
days darkness, extending over the
whole earth. While it lasts windows
must be kept closed" 90.
