TRUE And FALSE DEMAGOG YES.

Like many other words, honorable and innO-
cent in their genealogical Specification, the
word "DemagOgue" has acquired bad reputa-
ton. DR.. Webster shows it no mercy, but
declares it TO mean Zone who controls the
"people by specious and deceitful arts pan
"derer to popular prejudices; an artful pollti-
zeal orator. This is really an undeserved
obloquy, for "Demagogue" is no more and no
less, no better and no worse, than Leader of
the People, and the usual definition presupposes
the People to be densely ignorant, easily de-
ceived and incapable for themselves of dis
tinguishing between the true and the false.
The same meaning also assumes that
no man can become popular leader
save for his own selfish purposes; he
is held to DO necessarily "specious, de-
"ceitful, artful," and "a panderer" But this
is the definition of despotism; this sgnifca-
ton was acquired when democracy was yet
considered to be dreadful, and the sum total
of its meaning is that the people need a
master, royal by the grace of God and guided
by no human will except his own. Yet the
right to decide by no means precludes advice
and assistance there is no confession of inca
pacity in accepting advice which recommends
itself to our best judgment or in asserting to
an organization suggested by naturally en-
dowed organizer. The natural tendency of
masses is to seek a representative; and in
these latter days, worn almost to madness
by half-requited toll, embarrassed by the
complicated nature of the difficulties which
beset them, confronted by a thoroughly
organized aristocracy of birth and of capital,
the oppressed and half despairing peasants of
England find in men like Mr.. Joseph Arch,
| the President of their National Union, man
whose honest and careful direction may save
them from a profitless expenditure of their
enormous forces. Mr.. Arch will soon visit
| this country, as has already been announced,
for the purpose of looking into the necessities
and difficulties of English emigraDts. BY his
prudent and sensible course in England, he
has acquired there confidence and respect
which may safely be extended to him here.
| His very coming reminds us of our own
| good fortune, and should lead every
| American wOrkingman to consider seriously
| the wide difference between his own
position and that of his brother workers
abroad. The English immigrant is here, be-
cause pauperism is here unknown. This is the
one great, sturdy, and irrefragable fact which
meets us in the very beginning. If the wrongs
existed here from which the Brton is fleeing.
| he would avoid, instead of seeking our shores
as refuge from unrequited toll and imminent
starvation. Prosperity has made our own pro-
ducers inpatient, prone to imagine injuries,
| forgetful of the truth that justice to one
should be justice to all, and regardless of the
sure and speedy remedy for wrong which our
democratic institutions by their very nature
supply. The immense advantages enjoyed by
the producing classes in this country are
proved 10 demonstration by the TACT that no

When man has made up his mind to go it-DO
matter what it, may be-we like to see him 20 it
TO the fulness of mis- length Such is the style OF the
Rev. Benjamin l. Lane of South birmingham
Mass. He is a Lane in whom there is no turning
whether he be long short Lane. This Benja-
min dearly loves the other Benja min whose middle
name begins with +, and whose last name is Butler
Nor does the Parson shrink from anything in his
championship of the Back-Pay Brave. lie has pro-
claimed to the world that he is much surprised
that any Member of Congress should be so ignorant
mean, and cowardly as TO return his back pay.'
Well now, this is taking new view of the matter
Why, did the Rev. Benjamin ever read In his Bible
how Judas, "When he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders Say
ing have stunned in that have betrayed inno-
cent blood. And they said What is that to us 7
see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of
silver in the temple, and went and departed, and
went and hanged himself" Matthew xvii. 3-5.D
We have always thought this restitution to be about
the best thing that Judas is recorded to have DONE
We have no reason to believe that at the time it
was considered ian ignorant, mean, or cowardly
proceeding" at least not by anybody except the
Chief Priests the Reverend Benjamins of that day.
We have, il is true, thought that when Judas
hanged himself he went too far. We say this
for the benefit of the Members of Congress who are
likely to feel like hanging themselves when they
come to just sense of their mistake. 0nr opinion
is that they had better not but if they insist upon
doing it, why -. Well, this is free country. We
say no more.
There seem to be special qualities in the soil.
climate, and customs of Pennsylvania which should
adapt that State to the growth and cultivation OF
ghosts but certain it is that ghosts have become as
common therein as butter and chickens Not at
any particular witching hour do they troop forth ::
they just appear with the greatest affabity when
ever they see a chance 10 indulge IN all manner OF
unpeasantness. For instance, party OF ladies
while engaged in the pursuit of huckleberries in
the woods near Reading, the other day, suddenly
became the mark for various clubs and stones
thrown through the bushes. Investigation and re-
investigation discovered no earthly origin for this
proceeding, but one young lady favored by a
vanishing glimpse of something which she described
as an elf OF a goblin. Furths subsequent examina-
ton by a large number of ladies and gentlemen
proved equally without result. There is a sugges-
ton of birthstone about this story although corta n
incredulous and worldly minded people might he
disposed To see in IL the mysterious hand Of the
stealthy and malignant SAlau Boy.

The Coroner's jury in the case of the Brod-
erick murder reached a singular decision yes
terday. The only witnesses were the surviving
members of the family, and they, as was nat
ural. testified with great gentleness as to the
crime OF the husband and father. Their state
ments appeared to be taken as conclusive by
the Coroner, and the verdict was that the
homicide was committed in self-defense. The
prisoner will probably be admitted to bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury.

The fancy of Balzac, that thirteen men could
accomplish anything they would agree upon,
seems to be sustained by the report OF
Ku Klux outrages just published in The Louis
vile Courier-Journdl 1t enumerates 80 out
RACES committed in Henry, Owen, and Frank
lin Counties, and states that the organization
in all this district does not embrace more than
100 men. Small as this number is, it is suin-
Gent TO establish a reign of terror In these
three counties, and to induce the citizens 10
confess their inability to repress these male
factors. and to call upon the State Govern
ment for military aid against them. 1t is an
old story--the rogues have all the energy there
is in the community.

We publish to-day an account of the pro-
ceedings of the Congress at Vienna, con-
yened by the authorities of the Universal
Exhibition to consider the subject OF
international Patent Rights. Although the
resolutions adopted had no official sane
ton, they viii serve a good purpose in
calling attention to the subject. Among most
Governments of tho Continent of Europe there
seems to be singular disinclination to pro-
mote industrial interests by securing to in
ventOrs an adequate share in the fruits OF
their labors. 1t is this narrowminded policy
which must b. overcome before any interna-
tiOnal system can be adopted.

have freshened the spirit of debate among our

between Mr.. Clancy and Mr.. Strack would have
been impossible under more torrid skies. The

OMAHA, August l5.-A gentleman
who has just returned from the Paw
pees reports that they are all mourning
over their disastrous defeat 1t is their
intention to seek revenge upon the
Sioux, and will take steps to that end
with the first new moon. Tney have
already begun arrangements TOR set-
ting out on the war path, They have
shout six hundred braves among them
selves, and they have invited the O;oeE,
the Omahas, the Pencoes and the Yank
tons, to join them in the proposed expe-
dition against the Sioux. The iuvits-
tion has been accepted by all the tribes
named, and the worriors OF the Oma-
has are already there; and the gent'r-
man, while returning, says he met %
braves OF another tribe on their way the
Pawnee's reservation. Altogether, the
Pawnees hope to muster a force OF
1000 warriors and a fierce and deter
mined war between that tribe aud the
Sioux, at no distant day, is certain.

SAYS: Mr.. Molley's friends have for

that he is now confined to his hotel by
4 somewhat serious attack. BE has
had slight parslytic stroke. 1t occur
red as Mr.. Motley was taking Lady
Margaret Beaumont down to dinner.
HIS left arm suddenly fell powerless by
b.. side, and the side itself was also
somewhat affected. He was carried TO
his hotel on Dover street, and has
no: since left his room. The physi-
cians agree in regarding the parsly'
sis as by no means serious nor likely to
disable him for any length OF time. On
inquiry we were told he had been going
on very favorsbly, with the exception
OF considerable neuralgia pain. The
truth is, l believe, that Motley's nervous
system has suffered partly from over
work ana partly from the circumstances
OF his retirement from his mission to
this Court. He has never ceased to re-
gard himself as i'll treated and insulted,
and being proud and sensitive man,
the injury has not been forgotten.

cholera prevails in the city; that Is to

which the visitation has been limited
is not large, and is clearly defined.
Moreover, there are local causes which

The Sanitary Superintendent, DR.. Mil"
Ter, and his Immediate predecessor, Dr.
Rauch, were also interviewed, and
both admit that there have been some
cases OF cholera, but assert that
there is and has been no
cause for alarm. The cases
have all occurred in the extreme
southern part of the city, in crowded
and dirty tenement houses, and where
the only water in use has been drawn
from shallow wells. The city officers
have been doing everything to prevent
