are something after the style of that ia

artillerists experimental with.
They started the fuse, it will be remem-

pointed in the right direction. But the
mule, being reckless, and in new posi-

and turning, the gun went off in the
wrong direction.
Our sharp-sighted friends present a
spectacle much like this mule battery

opposition papers is still engaged in
showing how the resignation of Colonel
Forney, means in secret. hostility to the
President, his news editor writes like
this: 1--WE are now told that Post
master General Creswell will retire to
give place to Col. Forney, late Collector
of the port of Philadelphia. If this
proves true, it will account for the Coils

REPUBLICAN SUCCEss.-The country
has had but two Republican Administra-
tons The four years of that of Mr..
Lincoln, and three years of that Gen.
Grant. 1t is true we had a Republican
Congress during the administration of
Andrew Johnson. but its plans were so
far thwarted by his treachery that the
party could consider itself but partially
responsible for the acts and character of
the government in that term. The Adj
ministration of Mr.. Lincoln was charged
with the duty of suppressing an armed
rebellion against the constitution and
the Union. With what ability and fidel-
ity it fulfilled its trusts, we need say
It's record is one of which no party need
be ashamed. The Administration of
Gen. Grant was charged with redeeming
the national debt and establishing our
unimpaired credit. Gen. Grant found
the national debt of S2,522, 463, 26O,
less cash in the Treasury. On this the
nation was paying a monthly interest of
SIO,532, 1852. In three years from the
day Gen. Grant took the chair, the
monthly debt statement shows reduc-
ton of the debt of nearly three hundred
millions Of dollars. Our bonds, which, at
the close of Johnson's administration
sold for about SO cents on tie dollar in
gold, are now above par in gold. Their
value has been enhanced over three hun
dred millions of dollars to the holders.
And yet the Democracy. with few ma
lignant fault finders, keep up growl of
discomfort at Gen. Grants financial man
agement A party must be judged by its
success. in what it undertakes, by the
way in which it does its duty to the
country Has not the Republican party
gained right to the confidence of the
country?

TIE PRESIDENTS posITIoN.-The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser says that prominent repub-
lican Senator in the course of an inter
view with the President one morning
last week brought to his attention the
recently published statement that he in
tended to force the nomination of the
Philadelphia convention in his favor,
and that he had declared his purpose to
compel the placing of his name at the
head of the ticket, preferring to accept
the risk of defeat in November rather
than of failure of denomination. The
Presidents response was most decisive
and emphatic.-in the first place, that
be had never said any such thing to any
person, and in the second place, that he
never intended any such thing He de-
clared further that he has never yet
stated to any person that he desired to
be renominated at Philadelphia, nor has
he asked the influence or efforts of any
one for that end. He said that his po-
sition to-day was precisely the same asN
when; eight years ago in front of Rich
mond, he received letters urging him to
accept the nomination against President
Lincoln. He regards the unity and sue
cess of the republican party as greater
and more essential than that of any man
in it, and is ready to obey the dictates
of its leaders and It's necessity. The
President spoke with more than usual
warmth upon the subject and with evil
dent and entire sincerity.

The walters were delighted.

Mr. Crouch finally pacifed Tommy
to degree, and got him as far as the
Clerks desk, where he suggested that
he might write letters to the editors,
which he Tommy might present and
perhaps obtain a retraction of the offens-
i've articles. At this juncture Gov
Challis politely rendered Mr.. Lynch
cigar and, when Lynch turned, Mr..
Crouch quietly departed.
Tommy soon noticed this, and then
he went into Gilmore's wine room and
took a drink.

A DISAPPEARANCE.


Mr.. Crouch re-entered at the front
door, and was conversing with two or
three gentlemen about the then great
topic-his encounter with Lynch, and
Tommy again appeared in the Office, and
Crouch, not caring to renew the CONVEX
sation, again disappeared, going up
stairs. Tommy was somewhat under
the influence of liquor, and in an ugly
mood. He demanded of the clerk the
best room in the house He then made
several rushes for the staircase, and
finally got half way up before the por-
tiers seized him. Crouch was on the first
landing. He accepted an invitation from
Mr.. Caldwell, of Buffalo, and retired
into that gentleman room.
After about three-quarters of an hour
two officers appeared and took Lynch to
the Thirtieth street police station. and
he was relieved of his pistol and locked
up, after Crouch bad made a charge
against him.

police station, ''did you really mean to
swing lead at me ?''
"Yes, | did, was the reply, land |

Southwestern Railway WAS choked by
the crumbling cmbankments, and travel
was entirely stopped. Many of the vii
lages near tho Severn were almost sub
merged. The flood in the Vale of Gla-

experienced for forty years. Trees were
torn up by the roots in various places
and carried considerable distances.

MIR. EDITOR: The call in your CO.
lumns, that the citizens of Columbia in
conveation consider the proposition of
building dam by the Columbia Water
Power Company, across the Congaree
River, has induced the following rehec-
tions, which are respectfully presented
to the public. propose to submit
medical opinion, MS opposed by the
views of other physicians. that weigh
the balance and give credit to the
strongest side. Next, to quote facts and
actual experience in support Of such
balance expressed. DR.. Wells, former
resident Of Columbia, an eminent physi-
clan, but an absentee for many years
from this city, declares the proposed
dam prejudicial to health. Per contra,
the dictum of these eminent physicians,
Drs. Taylor, G. S. Trczevant, Darby and
Gibbes, is, that the proposed dam, so
far from boing injurious, would prove
highly conducive to the health of the
CITY A distinguished physician from
North Curolinn-Dr. Mckie-invited to
inspect the canal, unhesitatingly con-
firmed the verdict Of these gentlemen,
and added, that when "the crests and
adjoining lands to the canal were occu-
pied by cottages OF operatives, tie sites
built up with mills and factories that
the smoke and other auxiliaries of fac
tory life would serve as valuable aid in
the promotion of health" So far, the
weight of the medical profession is in
favor OF the dam; but actual experiment
veritics tue theory upon which the ply
sicians have based their opinions.
Your correspondent is empowered to
submit the experience of gentleman, 4,
builder Of dums and acute observer Of
the effects aud consequences attendant.
In the State OF Pennsylvanin, in the year
164O, at Columbia, Il dam was thrown
across the Susquehanna; that section OF
the city-before unhealthy-after COM
plction of the dam (now stnndiug) WIS
exempted from sickness, and continues,
in this respect, free from reproach. At
Sale Harbor. in the same State, across
the mouth of the Occonestoga River,
about forty miles above Havre dc Grace,
dam was thrown, in 1912. This locali-
ty, siokly before, became healthy. About
1866, this dam was destroyed by al ice
freshet; it has never been rebuilt, and
the locality has relnpsed to its former
status-unhealthy to the last degree.
These facts ure presented for the scruti-
ny Of our citizens; it is grave question,
whether health shall be sacrificed to
prosperity. But it is urged that the
sanitary condition of the city will moi
only be nnimpairod, but promoted 4
fair, impartial consideration Of the
views expressed is asked, III the verdict
which shall be rendered by the public.

HoREID. D.-Thc Selectmen Of Columbia,
New Hampshire, (says the Baltimore
Sum- bave been indicted for theft. It
is said that for four years they have
been nppropriating the town cash to
their own use and behoof, until the
amount OF their pickings has reached
the sum total Of SlG.50O. Everybody
has heretofore regarded them as upright
and honorable men, SO that it is spe-
chilly mournful that they should turn out
no better than pick-pockets after all.
There are eight of them, from which it
would appear that they have made only
about 50 900 apiece out Of their evil ma
nipulation. This, bo it observed, is
only one side of the story. A Northern
contemporary, however, seems to be
horriied by the idea that ''thc Select
men Of town" should be "indictcd for
theft" Whether his horror arises from
their being indicted" or for the theft"
does not appear. 1t can scarcely be the
latter, because nothing is more common
than for the "sclect" or ''clcct" men Of
municipalities, and even nationali.ies,
to defile their hands with picking and
stenling. TO be Indicted" for it, how
ever, is not very common, and when in
dicted, to be convicted, rarcr still. The
immortality Of crime, in the opinion of
many OF the public pluudercrs, seems to
consist in being found out
