A dog show was the principal fea-
ture to-day, and | am eXtravagantly
fond of dogs. The afternoon l came
into the city l found two mastiffs in
the depot. In the confusion thought
they were two freight cars that had
by some inscrutable means got off
the track. 1 was glad to find they
were dogs. The larger of the two
was called the champion of England,
and added other laurels by carrying
off the prize at the show. This was
the largest dog ever saw; it was the
largest dog any two people ever saw.

chain in the hands of an attendant,

state of Precipitation and protestation.
And he was an erratic dog. He
made violent and entirely unexpect-
ed dashes at various objects or open
ings, and wherever he went the per-
spring rnd protesting individual was
sure to go. He snapped him off his
feet every other minute, and in the
intervals hauled him over square-cor-
ncred trunks, bumped him against
other people with luggage in their
hands, or showed him over highly in
dignant but utterly helpless little
boys, whose mrestrained curiosity
had led them too close to the per.
formance. The last l saw of the

The Forty-fourth Congress will de-
vote much Of its time to the consid-
Grafton of contested election cases.
Some of these arise legitimately, and
many more will probably be brought
with the assurance that \ Democratic
House will know and love it's own.
Of course the rule ofthe House, when
in doubt, will be, to recognize Dem
ocrats. We have yet to notice q dis
position on the part Of the victorious
Democrats to soar in the empyrean
towards which they were always as.

grantpractices which were not proven
but charged against the Republican
party are not too bad for Democratic
acceptance, now that their inning

TWO LOVERS.

Two lovers by q moss grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wOOing thrushes sing;
o budding timel
o loves best prime!
Two welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carrOllings,
The air was soft as tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept;
Opure eyed bridel

Two faces DER q cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked;
These pressed each other while they rocked,
Those watched life that love had sent;
D solemn hOuri
o hidden power!
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees,
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire;
Opatient life!
o tender strife!
The two still sat together there.
The red light shOne about their knees,
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair;
o voyage fastl
o banished past!
The red light shone upon the floor
And made the space between them wide;
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks joined, and said, "Once more !!

Mr.. DAWES remarked in his recent
speech at Springfield, Mass, that
whenever there seems probability
of Democratic return to power the
Democrats break out with new rev.
elation of their real intentions.
When they carried New Hampshire
they thus ''broke out" lie asked
their leader in Congress, "What will
you Democrats do when you return
to power?" "Do?" was the reply,
1--WE will undo all that you RepsdA
cans hare done!" This reactionary
threat, when one comes think it over
| is very far-reaching in its sweep.

worked up. II would be imprudent TO pup

such action might Interfere with the success
full working of the case; but 1t Is scarcely
too much TO say that perhaps IN the next
issue of the Inquirer announcement VI the
recovery of the missing boy, Charley Ross,
will be made. 1t may be that the arrest OF
the criminal will not be rendered necessary
to secure the result, as he may now be turned
loose by them at any time, his further reten-
ton being attended with the greatest danger
10 the custodians 1t will not be surprising,
therefore, if the lad should be recovered on
lot in the outskirts, or if he should lind bis
way home unattended.
The criminals who perpetrated the das-
tardly, and in this city novel, outrage are IN
the tolls, and will be very likely to rid them
selves OF the now dangerous custody OF the
child by whose abduction they had hoped
to enrich themselves. Should such thing
buppen, however, it will not cause the search
for the criminals to be abandoned, or even
TO be abated in the unremitting effort which
has thus far attended it. AS we yesterday
stated in connection with this case, District
Attorney Mann, General Coils aud Detective
Taggart are after the criminals more than
they are after the boy, and the recovery of
the child will not cause them to leave the
scent for moment. That they are on the
right scent there is no room for doubt. 1t is
therefore probable that between this and

A Chance for the Malone Express

We have authority for saying that the Ola
hone Express will be passed over the Pc
tersburg road aud over the Danville roac
upon precisely the same terms that the
Adams Company's Express is allowed to &c
over them.
will that suit the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio Express? Can it ask more?
The public will observe that six of the
seven railroads in Virginia run no express
on their own account. They have no agents.
no wagons and teams, and no safes convey ed
over the fines. They, therefore, cannot run
an express on their own account, much less
on any body eIse's. And just here is
the folly of blaming them for not pro-
rating express matter with MALONE
in other words, for not carrying Ma
homes Express and sharing with him the
res responsibilities and troubles Of service 10!
which they are not at all prepared and
which they do not intend to undertake. To-
deed, it is the height of assurance to assume
that any obligation res's upon them TODD so.
This assurance the MAHoSITEs show in de-
handing that we shall blame BUFoRD, of the
DanviIe road, aud ScoTT, of the Petersburg,
instead of asking the remedy at the hands OF
MALONE, who has control of the whole mat
ter, and upon whose road the grievance Of
which our merchants so justly complain cX-
lists. According to the satellites MALONE
cannot err--tbe king can do no wrong. The
people differ with them.
Now, then, as MALONE does run an En-
press which the other roads do not, is it not
entirely just that they offer to take his Ex'
press exactly as they do Adams or any
body's? Let the A., NJ. & .. send along its
matter, its agent and its safe and it can go on
upon the same terms with others. Let it
seize the opportunity, or let it conform 10 the
customs of The other roads. An injured

wards building the railroad General Ma.
HONE manages may justly insist upon this
alternative. 1t will be q gross insult to pu D.

The Beecher-TiltOn Affair.

SATISFACTION OF BEECHER's FRIENDs-TILTON
SEPARATED FROM HIS wIFE-MoRE LADIES IN
THE CASE.
The reporters Of the New York and Brook
lyn papers are still kept at their wits end in
hunting up individuals from whom they
think it possible to get new facts bearing
upon the Beecher-Tilton scandal. All at
tempts to induce the investigating committee
TO make disclosures have been futile, but the
reportorial pumps profess to gather some"
thing through other sources. The Brook

to another gentleman would fully atone for

in divorce against his wife is without founda-

dis follows:
"The papers are being drawn up for 8

Good Advice to the South.
From the Petersburg News.l


1t is not at all improbable that the Demo-
cratic party of the South may hold the bal
ance of power in the next Presidential cleo
ton, and therefore we think it the part of
wisdom for the white people of this section,
in all their political actions, to hold them
selves aloof from any utilization with the par.
ties outside of their own States. They will
have everything to gain and nothing to lose
by this course of action, for in the present
confused state of parties and of politics 1t is
simply impossible to foretell what leading
elements will be at work two years or even
one wear hence, and with which OF the con.
tending parties Of the country it will be best
for us to ally ourselves in deciding the re-
suit. -,
Two things, however, every sensible man
in the South must now acknowledge to be
imperative upon our section. The one is
that we must take care of our local interests,
and protect ourselves from negro domlna-
ton, to the very best of our ability aud re-
CARELESS of all party associations or prefer
ences: the other is we must hold ourselves
| in a condition to throw our power and IN.
fiuence in support of that party or section
| which promises most good ana most protec.
| ton to our people and race. To plant our
selves upon this platform is now the impera
tive duty of the hour, and one cannot &c
otherwise without going of in hurry after
false gods. What will be the platform o.
parties two years hence? What great qucs
lions involving the life and prosperity OF oul
people will be involved? How many par
ties will there be, who will be their leaders
and from what section will they come
These are the important and practical ques
tons of the hour, and the people OF TIT
South should hold themselves as unit pre-
pared to act upon them at the proper time
with an eye single to our welfare and happi
/ ness. There will he nothing in name
there will be little in sections; but there vii
be deal--all in fact--in the men, in tb,
principles and character they may pre-
; sent 10 the choice of the American people
We prefer that our candidate shall come
from the great West-that be shall be in an
tagonism to all sectional and Radical issues
that he shall lament the condition of thu
South, and possess the honesty and frmness
to extricate us as far and as rapidly as posi-
: BILE from the terrible evils under which WI
: have been made to suffer. As to his polite
, in other regard we shall care but little; TO-
the people Of the South have neither tim
nor inclination just now to concern them
selves seriously about the old minor issue
and conflicts of party warfare.
Hence we say let the white people of tn
South keep out of Federal politics for tn
next year or two-commit themselves to n
party, or man, or section-so that, when th
next Presidential election comes on W
shall be in condition to sustain as a uni
that party and that man who assures us tn
greatest relief and most permanent pretet
ton from the fearful evils which may env
ron us.

The Sewage of Cities.

We must look upon the subject OF the
sewage of cities as inseparable from that OF
1.-THE pollution of streams discussed by this
paper on Saturday. The olfal Of cities must
be kept out of streams if they are to be
protected from pollution; and this DIAL
must be kept out of them also for the health
aud comfort Of citizens and for preserving
the productveness of the land.
Sewers ought to be used exclusively for
promoting health by keeping the surface
dry. Nothing but water should go into
them. All solid onal should be returned to
the earth from whence it came and cities
afford the best opportunity for the collection
of this ofIal, and the returning of it to the
lands. To throw it into the rivers is to be
stow it where 1t is lost, while to put it or
the lands Is to make it very useful, and
greatly tributary to the subsistence anc
comfort of man.
To throw this ofal into the rivers, too, !:
TO make them foul and offensive, to annoy
those below on the stream, to generate dis
ease, to impair the water as place of plea
sure and sport, to ipjure the fisheries, and tc
do number of other things which are cal
eulatcd to harm the community.
The washing of all ofai into the nearest
stream Is an easy way to get rid of 1t, and
4 this gratiGes sslf.indulgence and laziness.
1t is at best but a temporary relief; for the
debris rises to offend the very persons who
hope in this easy way to get rid Of it. Worst
OF all, as we have said, it is thrown where 1t
is lost, instead of being put where 1t would
p,oye most useful.
To secure the benefit Of pure streams
and pure air by collecting and properly
disposing of the solid offal of cities
i, looked upon as a great labor at
ter having got rid Of 1t SO many year:
through sewers. But 1t is all Ia imagina
ton. When an old usage is condemned and
must be discarded, men cling to it long
time, and think no other way OF getting along
could be tolerated; but when they put their
handt to the work of reform, they find that
sYhat they had supposed to be impossible is
easy of accomplishment. Once abandoned,
the old usage Is never thought Of again as
tolerable.
In this matter of the disposal of the offal
of cities science Is constantly deyising ways
of simplifying processes. just now, in
Philadelphia, there is in operation a system
