The Morning Star. the organ of the Free
Baptist denomination, has an editorial re-
viewing the recent elections. in which it
says: 1--WE see no clear proof in these
elections that any immediate and radical
revolution is coming into ot:r political life.
The republican party is not disbanding,
disintegrating, or suffering any general,
deliberate and final desertioa from its
ranks If issues have been made up as
they were last year. we have no doubt
they would have been fought through very
much as they were then. The country is
not at all ready to put the supreme power
into the hands of the democrats or liberal
republicans, much less into the hands of
any such coalition as they formed in 1872.
Nor is the Changers movement likely to
sweep the nation. Public sentiment has
by no means pronounced the republican
rule intolerable, and no other party has APP
peared with such character and creden-
tials as will at once establish its right to
royalty, even if a change of regime were
determined on. No; the muddle of last
week is something less than thorough
breakup, and the mutter of discomfort is
not a prophecy of revolution"

The reports which have been made of
the SUSPENSION or curtailment of work in
the manufacturing business have been ex-
aegerated in many eases. There are also
frequent Instances where work has been
stopped and resumed. The large cities
appear TO be the only points where lack OF
employment is or will be severely felt.

An intelligent American gentleman, travel
ling in England, writes to the Iron Age
"The machinery used in England, when COM
pared with orr own, is Of much older style
and ruder construction, caused, first by the
fact of her cheap labor-which has always
been in opposition TO the use Of mechanical
improvements-and second, because the Eng

for granting patents, has prevented many
valuable Improvements from being made by
practical mechanics of moderate means"

A discovery has just been made in the eX-
cavations at Pompeii of another skeleton,
apparently that of a man about fifty years of
age. The cast formed in the ashes was ad-
mirable, and is in fact much more exact than
those hitherto found. The supposition is that
the deceased was i'll, and that his strength
failing him in his flight, he lay down resting
his cheek on his left hand, such being the posi-
ton in which he was found.

Ex-Secretary McCulloch is frank enough
to say that the monetary panic is entirely
without cause. He believes the worst is

saws was never richer, never had more OF

ascribing the panic to President Grant and

On Monday it went off in Il paroxysm.

Washington, rock-rooted in the crust of
"the earth, and buttressed with eternal
"hills, still lifting its hoary summit into

the beatings the democratic party has en-
dured the last dozen years, to the hard and
stormy paths it has had to travel in that
time, and finally to the fact that it is now

Bourbons, and is 'hoary headed sinner"

it is impossible for strangers to fully

THE PEAGUE.

The deaths on Thursday were twenty
nine, twenty-one from yeIlow-fever, and
eigh from ether causes. Yesterday
there were ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
from yel,ow-fever, and four from other
CAUSES, making a total to date, since the
thirteenth of September, of fourteen
hundred and seventy. The frost Of
Thursday, and Of last night have no
doubt had the effect of staying
the progress of the disease,
aud 1t is the opinion Of physicians and
Others competent to judge, that it is on
a permanent decline. The number Of
new cases reported yesterday are very
much less than those reported the day
before, and the disease is now yielding
more readily to treatment. The out
look il, therefore, most hopeful. God

single term of six years, and of
making senators elective by the people,
aud dividing judges into three classes,
each class to be ell cted at the time of
election of President. This, he thought,
would DO away with the corruption by
which some senators buy their seats.
But what kind of government had we
now? AristOcracy, and the power of the
army. Was it not time for the people
TO improve their government, which was
20 preserve the people in the enjoyment
Of their liberty and private pursuits. But
the converse Of this was now practiced,
which they witnessed every day. When
he was here in position OF President,
there was majority Of two-thirds in
congress, aud everybody thought that
what these twO-thirds did was con-
stitutloDal aud right. Suppose that
when congress meets next December,
some man Of influence should get up
and introduce a preamble and resolu-
ton as follows:
WHEREAS, The situation of public
affairs is uncertain and critical; and,
whereas, the liberties of the people are
in great danger; and, whereas, sOme-
thing is necessary to be done TO make
them more stable; therefore,
Resolved, That A, r or c be and is
hereby declared President for the next
ten years, till the troubles and difficult
ties Of the country shall subside.
Suppose this should be passed, how
easy it would be to follow the example
OF Napoleon, who was elected president
OF France for ten years? He so man
aged affairs as to be elected emperor of
had vphof a
armed people would submit to when
brought into conflict with armed men.
1t were we'll, therefore, for the people to
ascertain their true position This gov
eminent was nearer being abso-
lutte than any Of his listeners Were
aware of, and this would be the result
unless the people are aroused to their
danger. Unless they extract the bone
this government will go the way that
other republics have gone. He was al
ways willing to trust the people, believ
ing their decision is right. In c0nciu-
sion he admitted that he was ambitious
to maintain his eountry's liberties; he
had never assumed superiority, and never
submitted to inferiOrity; those whom
he now addressed had seen all his acts as
a public man, and his walks as acitizen,
and he was ambitious to occupy place
In the affections of his country men. |
Mr.. johnson, in conclusion, said
''Take my wishes foryOur prosperity and
and may God bless you"
The crowd cheered, there was music by
the band, and many old friends rushed
into the parlOr TO congratulate the ex
President, who had spoken 20 them for
two hours.
