MONDAY MORNING. Feb. "a, 1873
SPRING ELECTIONS.

Elections for town officers will soon be
held in this State. We urge our republi-
can friends to exercise good Judgment in
their nominations, selecting capable and
honest men, who have the confidence and
VIII command the respect of the party
After so sweeping victory as that of the
PRESIDENTIAL campaign there is an inclina-
ton among republicans to rest upon their
laurels, particularly if the opposition
shows no activity, but they must not fall
into the error of believing the democratic
party dead II is just now making vigor-
Gus efforts in both New Hampshire and
connecticut to carry the Slate elections,
its ehiefsencouragement of success being
the scarelcssness and feeling of security
amopg,the republicans. In Congress the
: Organization of the democrats is strictly
( kept up, as may be seen by the entirely
I partizan course which they pursue in the
Credit Mobilier affair. The investigation
OF that matter ordered by the House. was as
simpartially initiated and carried forward
asst could be. 1t was called for by Speak
81, Blaine, and the Committee was appoint
ed BY democrat whom he placed in the
schair; but the democrats have never 40
knowledged or reciprocated the fairness
and 1fagnanimity shown by the republi-
cars i'm permitting their opponents to take
control of the investigation, but denounce
tie report Of their own committee as
whkewashing document, and otherwise
tshows that they intend to act in that and
al other matters with view to pulling
down the republicans and building up
themselves.
Let theTepublicans of Maine not be de-
ceived then in the spring elections by i'm
agining that they have seen the last of the
democrats. The party was ANONYMOUSLY
beaten. last year, but it survives yet. 1t
is weak, but. where it has any animation it
manifests the same old partizan spirit,
the same relentless hatred of the party
!, thatscrushed Slavery and Rebellion and
changed the control OF the Government
from q Southern oligarchy to the friends
Of. freedom and equal rights To all who
support the administration and the prin-
ciples Of the republican party, there is a
free and generous invitation to join US.
Those democrats who are sick of the fan
atastic proceedings of their party last year
in the nomination of Mr.. Greeley and the
abandonment of democratic principles in
! the platform adopted at Baltimore, will
be. cordially received by the republicans
Many such democrats voted for Grant and
Wilson in November, and will continue
to vote with the republicans in future
elections. That the greater part of the
liberal republicans will return TO us we
are well PERSUADED. The "tidal wave"
that swept them away has subsidized. We
areA li4tise, not implacable, but to
With us in principle, we extend
sasfs ffeluus welcome to our organization.
THIS 1ssanlthat we can or shall do. All
who Come to us must travel straight
road. sWs shall hear of mo party" plans
and an '.era of reconciliation, and all
that, but republicans will not be duped
by any such Inventions of the enemy.

There is another chapter in the Missouri
nnpleasantness. Senator Bogy published
letter furiously demanding another investiga-
ton, bat it is intimated that he was personal
ly soliciting his friends in the legislature to
refuse the petition. 1t appears that he mis-
took an enemy for friend on one occasion,
in his anxiety, and so his little scheme was
exposed.

A report is said to be quite prevalent in
Berlin, that Bismark's continued indisposition
is owing to numbers of poisoned letters he
has received. He is so troubled with dizzi-

his wife, who always reads correspondence
with him, is suffering from an unaccountable

The mortuary report gives the total
OF deaths yesterday at thirty-eight,
those of yellow-feYer thirty and by
other causes eight. The figures of the
day before We're twenty-six by yellow
fever, eleven from other causes, total
thirty-seven. It will thus be seen there
is an increase of one in the total and Of
four in the number by yellow-fever.
Aud this in face of the fact that the
weather is still of the fever-breeding
character. We do not want to give a
promise to the ear that may be broken
TO the hope. But we feel encouraged
to believe that the backbone of
the epidemic is broken, that here
after we shall have a gradual decline,
sud we hope in a couple of weeks
at farthest to announce its entire sub
'sidence. And yet we urge upon the
people at large the continued use of dis
infeetants, the utmost care and cleanli-
ness, the maintenance ola cheerful re-
signation, and good spirits, and the Ut
most stretch of neighborly kindness to !
those in anyway afflicted or distressed |
in mind, body or estate.

THE TIGRESS.
Safe Home from the Arctic Regions
Full RepOrt-Efftcts of a
Hurricane.

New YORK, October 1.-THE WOrld'S
st. Johns, Newfoundland, special an
nounces the arrival there of the steamer
Tigress from her search after the Polaris
survivors.
On the fourth of October the Tigress
left Ivitugl, all on board being in good
spirits and hopeful of finding the objects
of their search.
On the fifth moderate gale sprang up,
but did no serious damage. On the
sixth, a perfect hurricane arose, which
drove them out of their canoes for a
time, and threatened to do great injury
to the ship; toward night the storm
subsidized, and with some very trifling
exceptions, the Tigress bad escaped uu-
nurt. On the seventh, the crew having
already become i'm patient at their forced
delays, the party started nOrthward in
search of the whalers, expecting to find
Captain BuddingtOn and the remnant
OF the POlaris crew on board of one of
them. A light nOrtherly gale still pre-
vailed, and in consequence of the pres
ence of much ice, which impeded navi-
cation, Captain Greer was advised to
stand to southwark, as an early winter
had already set in. Acting on this ad
vice, Captain CIR er, on the afternoon
of the eighth, stood for st. Johns,
keeping in the known track of the
whalers, and still hopeful of meeting
with the lost men. The crew has
been much reduced by exposure to the
excessive cold and by fatigue. All on
board, however, are well, and, as far as
can be learned, the Tigress will remain
to undergo some repairs, made neces-
sary by the severe knocking about she
suffered during the hurricane on the
sixth. She will sail in a week, and
Captain Greer expects to arrive in New
York by the tenth of November.

CATHOLIC CONVENTION.
The Result Of Yesterdays Meeting
Distinguished Persons Present
Reception and Ball.

ST. LOUIS, October 1.-THE Irish
Catholic benevolent union met again
this morning and took up the special
order, the report OF the committee on
constitutional amendments. After a
brief discussion it was announced that
Henry ]. SpaunhOrst and Rev. A.
Schweninger, president and secretary of
the German Catholic Central associa-
ton were present, and on invitation
both took seats on the platform and
made brief speeches eOngratulating their
Irish fellow citizens upon the good work
they were engaged in, referring TO the
great power and influence of united ac-
ton and expressing the hope that in q
near future a convention Of all the
Catholic organic stions, of whatever ma
tionality, may be held with a view TO
still further promote the interests, and
temporal, and spiritual welfare of Cath
olics. Right Rev. Bishop Ryan also
visited the convention and was invited
on the platform. He also made brief
speech, in which he urged the cOnven-
ton to persevere in the work they were
engaged in, that the union may be
strengthened and increase in power
For its good he also referred to
a scheme to establish an emigration
bureau, urged its necessity, and advised
them to study the plan adopted by their
German friends, which has resulted in
such great benefit to the Immigrants Of
that nationality, and adopt 50 much OF
it as will meet the needs of the Irish.
The convention then proceeded to busi-
ness, and are now discussing some
amendments to the constitution, which,
however, are of no interest to the gener-
al reader. A reception and ball was
given at the Southern hotel last night,
to delegates TO the convention, and not
withstanding the heavy and continuous
rain, large party was present, and the
occasion was one Of much enjoyment.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Condition and Prospects Of the Road
Committee Appointed to Make
a Report.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, October 16.-
The Tribune has the following, regard
ing the Northern Pacific railroad: Gen
eral Manager c. w. Mead, of the North
ern Pacific railroad, was in the city
yesterday, and in the course of a con-
versation, he stated that it is proposed
to operate the road as far as jamestown
this winter as certainly as the road is
supplied with snOW-fences, etc., to that
point. If the winter is not a severe one
the trains will be run to Bismarck,
but if it is at all shard they will
be discontinued. jamestown is about
one hundred miles west of Fargo. Work
on the road is to be begun and prosecuted
with vigor in the spring. General Cass
has appointed the following gentlemen
as commissioners to examine and report
upon the condition of the road: A. g..
Sands, of Cincinnati, Ohio; w. Steele,
of Painesville, Ohio, and General w. G..
Leduc, Of Hastings. These gentlemen
will start from st. Paul this morning on
a special car, and with Mr.. Mead will
go over the road. Their report will be
looked for with interest.

in mind, body or estate.

The pending trial of Marshal Bszaine
attracts much public attention, not
alone, because Of the gravity of the
crime laidsto his charge, or the magni-
tude OF the issues which may result
from It, but also on account OF the bril-
liant record which the gallant French
man Enade before the German war. En-
te:mg the army in 1881, at the age of
twenty, he was Immediately assigned to
duty in Africa, where he so distin-
guished himself for bravery, that he
was decorated on the field with the cross
of the Legion of Honor within a year
from the date of his commission. He
rose rapidly to high command, and in
the Crimea was at the head of q bri-
gade of infantry, and by his dash
ing and intrepid conduct sustained
his African notability reputation |
At the memorable seige Of Sebastopol /
he won a golden opinion from both the /
French and British armies, and so dis
tinguished himself that he was given /
the command of adivision. Still further |
hOnOrs awaited him. In 1863 the dig
nifty Of commander of the Legion Of
Honor was conferred upon him, and
soon after the still higher honor of the
Grand Cross. Subsequently to this he
was made marshal of France for gall
lant conduct in Italy. In 1864 he was
placed by Napoleon in command of the
ill-fsted Mexican expedition, and from
this period his bright star of
destiny seems to have gone into
eclipse. He brought away no Iaurels
from the land Of the Montezumas, and
lent himself TO the unworthy purposes
Of Louis Napoleon, who left the be-
trsyed, but brave Austrian, Maximilian
to his fate. The interview of unhappy
Carlottar ple ill-starredwife of the would
be eppsror Of Mexico, with Bazsine on
the occasion of the withdrawal of the {
+ rench troops from Mexico, is still re-
membered, and not to Bazaine's credit.
Upon the breaking out of the Franco
Prussian war, BaZaine was in command q
of one Of the main army corps Of the :
French army. His conduct at Metz is
yet obscured in mystery, though we en- ]
tertaiD hopes that his acquittal by the =
court-martial will save his reputation
from that worst of crimes-treasOn. a
