The interference of the REPUBLICAN In
Southern politics seems not to be conducive
TO that equanimity which should pcrvade the
conduct Of the Democratic press Of that Sec
ton. When we take up our Southern ey-
changes We are reminded Of this fact by the
repeated illusions to our paper of which the
following are few samples;
The REPUBLICAN is, perhaps, the most uncon.
sconabie liar that pollutes the carth.-Irters-

HoRATIo SEYMOUR has declined the nomi-
nation for the New York Assembly rendered
him by the Democrats OF the First district of
Oneida county. Private business of an I'M
perative nature demands his attention during
the coming winter.
TnE Republican State convention of Orc
gon, at a recent meeting at Albany, adopted
the following resolution That whatever may
have been the misfortunes, faults or short
comings Of Hon. J. II. Mitchell, United States
Senator OF this State, In his early private life
we neither apologize for, pass Judgment upon
nor Justify him, but express our unqualified
belief that by his many years Of consistent,
upright and honorable conduct 10 this State
he has outlived any imputation cast upon him,
and that to-day, not only the Republican
party, but large majority Of the people of
this State, have entire confidence In his intcg-
rity, ability and patriotism, and that he Will
faithfully and ably represent them in the Uni
ted States Senate.
The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial, referring
to that South to which the Liberals so mucL
desired to be reconcilcd, and whose miseries
were so wildly portrayed, says; 'IIcr flnan-
cial condition Is better now than II ever was.
Previous to the war her pla.ters had been
steadily getting dragged deeper and deeper
into debt, and the war operated In place OF
crisis. The prOstration which followed the
war would have occurred years later In the
ordinary course of events, had there been no
civil strife. This year. with the relations of
capital and labor tolerably well readiusted,
with fine crop, which Is In demand at good
prices In England, and having escaped the
financial troubles which cony,iised the North,
she can look upon herself us peculiarly
favored"
The Chicago Inter Ocean thinks the Ohio
election throws considerable light upon the
general political situation. 1t proves, first.
the Democratic party Is not dead; second,
that the Liberal party Is not born; and third
thot the Republican party stays at home on
''otf years" IL proves, also, that the Demo-
cratic masses cling most fondly to their old
est, most conservative leaders The Western
Reserve elected Allen. 1t was there thai
those Democrats who have for years been In
retirement nursing a feeling Of superlatiye
disgust at the course Of the Republican party
In emancipating negroes, and comforting upon
them the right Of suffrage, came forward In
support OF an old whee-horse OF Democracy,
IN Allen they recognized simOn-pure Demo-
crat of the anil-war stamp aud rallied to his
support with an enthusiasm born of faith iu
future party trlumphs. Men OF this class
never entered heartily into the trade Of last
fall. They found In Greeley's early anti |
slavery record an insuperable objection TO |
his acceptance as Democratic candidate, |
hence they stayed away from the polls. But |
the moment an opportunity was afforded to |
vote for an old-llne Democrat, 10 the person |
OF Allen, they indignantly spnrned he re-
nswed offer OF alliance with the schsmipg
Liberals,

IT rs CURIOUS PACT that the so
called Administration organs Of the. country
published In the LARGER cities, where the ma
tional banking interests are fully developed,
have hesitated to indorse or discuss the wise
and statesmanlike suggestions Of the Prcsi-
dent regarding the needed reforms In our
financial System. Even John Thomas Yellow
Plush falls to see necessity Just now for q
change In that system, and yet the people
think and talk Of little else. J. 7. Y. P.
should know that such conduct Is not only
unbecomlng, but Is apt to provoke suspicion,
which will not reflect to the credit Of the in
terested parties.

PER has become so pronounced In its opposi-
ton to the Administration and the leaders Of
the Republican party that II is now accepted
by the public in general as copperhead or.
gan. In recent issue 1t rovlves the charges
made against Senator Casserly, Of California,
by the REPUBLICAN, and expresses the hope
that the matter will be the subject Of invcsti.
CATION by tho next Congress. We hope so,
too. Let the corruptionists Of the Demo.
cratic party, who, like Casscrly, have bough
their way into power, be subjected to The
odium which attends q public exposure o
their iniquitics. They have howled LOUD
enough and long enough about corruption il
the Republican party, and 1t Is about tim,
that they should DO exposed. A Congress
sional investigation will settle the question
regarding the responsibility Of parties, OF
rather the connection Of parties with disrepu
table practices In the election of United

Tun OPPOSITION PRESS Is Just now en-
gagged In an earnest discussion OF the merits
and dement's Of Senator Carpenter, and the
responsibility which the Republican party
will assume in continuing him as the pro
ismpore presiding officer of the Senate. They
forget two things: First, that he is not pre-
siding officer Of the Senate; and, second, that
the charges of immoral conduct which have
been brought against him remain to-day un.
proven. In this respect Mr.. Carpenter has
tho advantage OF such statesmen as Daniel
Webster, for instance, as charges of n sim.
liar character against Webster were proven.
But VIC cannot iorbcar the remark right here
that Mr. Carpenters accusers, in some re.
spects, have the advantage Of the Father Of
our Countryside could not tell lie, and they
not only can but have.

THE RESULT Of the election In Ohio justi-
ilcs the wisdom of our advice to the Republic
ran leaders OF that State, when We begged
them to pay most earnest attention to the
necessity OF getting out the full vote OF the
party. The returns show that the Democrats
have not increased in strength, and the light
vote pollcd 10y the Republicans shows that
the power of the party was not fully deyel-
oped. IT, the strong Democratic counties,
Gov Soyes, who had the management of
the campaign, stirred MP so much excitement
that the full Democratic vote was polled,
while in the strong Republican counties no
effort was made to enlist public attention In
the issues OF tho campaign. Any one who
knows anything about politics, and the man
agemont Of a political campaign, will admit
at once the indiscrction Of Gov. Noycs and
his friends through which We have lost the
Buckeye State.

Constitution of the Sun.

Multltudes of theories respecting the
physical character of the sun, once popu-
lar, have been abandoned for more
rational views.
mat the sun was an ineXtinguishable
ball OF fire, warming all regions of space
by Its radiating caloric, was a current
opinion. But as it neither diminished
IN volume nor became cooler, that theory
was abandoned for another quite as
ridiculous which has had its advocates.
VIZ: that other globes in their revolu-
lions round the sun were gradually
drawn into the fiery furnace, like fuel
under boiler, and thus kept up a per-
petual conhagration. That ingenious
explanation had the go-by at last, as
time enough had elapsed since the crea-
ton OF the sun, according to the Mosaic
cosmogony, to have consumed all the
stars IN the Milky Way. They are still
III their appointed places, shining as
brilliantly as when Job and his com
forters discoursed about Orion and the
Pleiades.
The latest opinion that the sun is sur
rounded by vast body of luminous
matter, the source of Ii ht in the solar
system, whether phosphorescent or not
still to be determined, has the support
OF ocular examinations From the rev.
Citations of the spectroscope it is very
nearly demonstrated that the compost
ton of the sun cannot differ essentially
from the earth. 1t probably abounds in
metals, has its lofty mountains and
broad oceans.
When some rich man wishes to immor-
talize himself in the annals of science by
ordering the construction of larger re-
fracting telescope than has ever been
made, with az object glass ten feet in
diameter, we shall know far more of the
mysteries of other worlds than has been
revealed by instruments in the service
OF the Herschels, Lord Ross, or any OBJ
servatory of Europe or America.

Facts About Presidents.

There are some very curious facts
connected with the Presidents of the
United States. Gen. Washington.
the first President, had no children. He
was reelected. John Adams, the sec
ond President, had children-sons and
daughters. He was not reelected.
Thomas Jefferson, his successor, had no
sons, but two daughters. He was re-
chosen. The fourth President, James
Madison, like Washington, had no chill
dren. He was reelected. The fifth.
James Monroe, had daughter, but no
son. He was President eight wears.
After him came John Quincy Adams, who
had chlldreR-sons,. and, we think,
daughters. He failed of reelection.
The seventh President, Andrew Jackson,
had the fate of Washington and Madi-
son IN being unfortunate as to have no
descendants. Martin Van Buren,, the
eighth President, had sons, and was con-
t1nued In Office only a single term. Gen.
William Fl. Harrison, his successor, had
children of both sexes. He died in one
month after his inauguration. After
him came John Tyler, who had family
of sons and daughters He was an as
pirant for the Presidency, but was de-
feated. Then came James K. Polk,
whose domestic condition was that of
Washington, Madison and Jackson-he
had no children. General Taylor, who
followed him, died in office in fifteen
months after his accession. He had
both sons and daughters, one of the lat
ter of whom was the first wife of Jeffer-
son Davis. The thirteenth President,
Willard Fillmore had daughter, but no
son. He was not reelected. Franklin
Pierce when he came to the Presidential
chair was childless man. SO also was
the fifteenth President, James Buchanan,
who was bachelor. Abraham Lincoln,
who succeeded him, had children, both
sons and daughters, and he was the only
man who had that was ever twice chosen
President. Andrew johnson had chill
dren of both sexes, but was not re-elect-
ed. Grant has both sons and daughters,
and Is chosen for the second term.

The Straw-Paper Swindla

The New York Journal of Commerce
calls the attention of the press of the
country to covert attempt to again re-
vive the patent straw-paper swindle in
Congress. The dodge now attempted is
proposed amendment to the patent
laws, now before Congress, in which is
the following clause: ssAnd no extension
granted prior to the passage of this act
shall be held invalid by reason of the
fact that the certificate of extension was
not annexed before the expiration of
such patent. The Journal of Com
naerce says there is no other case to
which this amendment will apply except
to revive the old French Mellier patent
straw-paper swindle, which was defunct
five years ago. This amendment has
been read twice, and in few days viii
be put upon its passage. The effect of
its passage will be to add one cent to
every pound of paper purchased by
newspaper publishers.

A French View of Napoleon,s Death.

The article of which the following is
translation is published in the C0ur-
rier des EtatS- U1ais, the recognized or
gan Of the French population of New
York:
Napoleon Ill is dead
After the reception of this news, we
yesterday visited several French estab-
hshments. We have seen many of our
compatriots whose opinion has some
weight; everywhere, among all the ranks,
all the degrees of fortune and of intelli-
gence, we have been able to verify a sim
liar Indifference, similar bitter smile,
composed equally of satisfaction and of
disdain.
We are convinced that aside from the
natural excitement most intense at the
very hearthstone of the great political
interests of our country we are con-
WINGED, we say, that the public sentiment
ought to be in France, the due proper
ton observed, nearly the same as that
which we have noticed in New York.
Napoleon III. died at Sedan two wears
ago; the phantom of Chiselhurst existed
no more for France, and it is only bv
means OF anlllusion ingeniously cherish
ed by handful of ambitious people.
without firmness and without echo, that
there still exists-almost nominally-a
Bonapartist party. We have said that
often in reply to publications which ap-
peared from time to time, and which
represented this party as having an in
tiuence in the country districts and in
the army. No, not even there. There
was neither sympathy, nor affection, nor
respect for the man who had placed
France upon the brink of destruction.
1t would be almost equally true to say
that there was no longer either hate or
anger against him even among those who
had the most execrated him. 1t seemed
that the forgetfulness of death had al
ready come upon him; that which re-
manned of his memory had no longer
authority or prestige, and the man who
during nearly the quarter of century
had filled the world with the noise of his
lame had found, before dying, the stran-
gest,, If not the severest, chastisement
which could befal him-the punishment
of silence.

How a Bad Practice is Fostered

There IS good deal said in censure
OF the custom of jumping off and on
cars when In motion It is righteous
condemnation, but is not consistent when
coming from railroad companies. If
they truly desire a reform they must
begin at home, for as long as employees
Will Jump on train when in motion,
and persist in doing it as gracefully as
they do, an initiative public will be the
sufferers. People don't jump on train
before 1t stops, because they are in a
hurry, but because they have seen a
brakeman or conductor do it, and have
terrible dread of being surpassed.
Now, at the station the other day, Con-
ductor Phillips, of the Eastern train.
after giving the word to start, waited
until the last car reached him, and then,
raising one hand to the rail, and one foot
gently from the earth, he swung ma
Jestlcally around, and was at once firmly
on the car. Mr.. Phillips weighs 200
pounds, but there was such grace and
poetry in his motion that he seemed to
blend with the car. First, there was
yellow paint, and then gold leaf and
maroon and Phillips. There was an
elderly person who saw Phillips do this.
and his eyes glistened with anticipation.
He was going on the Western train, and
when it came along he waited until a
tine rate of speed was gained, and then.
raising his hand and leg just as he had
seen Phillips do, and looking carelessly
away, just as Phillips did, he reached
out for the rail, and the next instant was
trying to push his head through the
platform planks, and fighting the air
with his heels, and madly paving around
with his hands, and swearing and pray
ing at an awful rate. They stood him
up on his feet, and rubbed his head with
some snow, but it was long while be-
fore they could convince him that the
locomotive had not exploded. Dan6auy

Unparalleled Surgical Operation.

On Monday, Dec. 2, surgical opera
ton was performed by Drs. Cable and
Walters, of Pittsburgh, Pa, which is
without parallel. A young man residing
in Steubenville, O., was so unfortunate
as to get mouth-plate with five teeth
thereon fastened in his throat. Medical
assistance was summoned, and all efforts
to withdraw the plate were unsuccessful.
and the physicians in attendance pushed
the plate further down the gullet. The
patient suffered greatly, and efforts were
made to employ surgeon that would
undertake to cut the man open and re-
cover the plate, but a surgeon could not
be found in the city who would risk the
delicate operation. Finally Drs. Gable
and Walters, of Pittsburgh, consented
to perform the operation. Chloroform
was administered to the patient, and an
incision was made in the neck, and the
surgeon cut steady to the top of the
stomach. In the language of DR.. Cable.
"the mans heart was beating against
my right hand, while the lungs and ar
teries were throbbing against my left
hand" An instrument was inserted and
the plate successfully removed. Our
informant left Pittsburgh on the seventh
day after the operation and the patient
was recovering rapidly, and later re-
port by letter informs him that he is en-
tirely out of danger.
