CHLLDRERS HONE.

EDITORS DRMoCRAr:-I desire to say a
word TO our County Commissioners in
reference to the location Of the contem-
plated Orphans Home. 1t is an impor-
tant move, involving great responsibility
and certain to have an influence long af-
ter the projectors and others who con-
tribute by taxation and counsel will have
been forgotten.
am not in situation to know what
progress has Deen made, but rumor has
it, that sites have been looked at, with a
view to purchase. If have been misin-
formed, then my suggestions are prema-
ture, but it will do no harm to lay them
before the public as they are equally in
terested in this project.
lst., The location should be at least
three miles from any town and five would

between the cost of fre-proof building,
and one that is not, will be made up in
insurance in less than 10 years. l
would urge upon the officers to move
slowly. They will be less likely to do
something, they will afterwards have oc-
casion to regret. There is no hurry.
MORE ANON.
We cannot say we agree with our friend
as to the distance from town. The Home
will be an institution quite different from
an asylum for the insane. Company
usually disturbs, and hence has an inju-
rious effect upon the insane. This
would not be the case with the children.
Company at no time would disturb them
to their injury. Indeed the class of peo-
who would naturally visit and take an
interest in the "Children's Home" would
have salutary influence upon the "little
ones" and the visits would undoubtedly
be the means Of procuring many a child
a good home in the family. If situated
three to five miles from town, the visit
ors would be few and far between. The
proper public interest would not be taken
and Kept up Ind we do think to locate
the institution thus would be a great
mistake, Let us say too, the class of peo-
pie likely to takean interest in the Home
are the very sort of people who would
deserve the required rules as well as the
proprieties attending good sense and
manners. Speaking for one, we can say,
if placed convenient to our town we
would be an occasional visitor if located
three to five miles out rarely would our
presence trouble the institution. This
particular case might be no loss, but we
fear there might be many similar cases,
where the loss would be serious,

WASHINGTON.
n RadEcal Caucus.
THE PARTY ACKNOWLEDGED DEAD
HOW THE RADICALS CAN CARRY
THE SOUTH.

WASHINGTON, December 7o.-.-The
Republican senators held cauc rs here
this afternoon at the solicitation of the
Southern Republican Senators and
Representatives at which the condition
OF the South was considered. Senators
from the South advocated the sending OF
troops to several States of that section.
They feared that the Republican party
was hopelessly dead unless decisive
steps were taken during the present ses-
sion to put down turbulent whites. They
confessed their inability to poll white
votes. The Northern Senators did not
endorse the proposition, and some Of
them openly expressed themselves
against further interference with affairs
OF the South, saying they had lost many
votes in the North by it.
Senator Lewis of Virginia declared
the Republican party had lost power in
the South because Of the bad character
of many of the would-be leaders and
the advocacy of the Civil Rights bill,
which he considered a most iniuutous
measure The South could only be car
ried for the Republican party as at pres
ent organized by sending soldiers
enough there to prevent the people from
voting. Tine majority evidently agreed
with these remarks, as before vote was
taken, many Senators left the room and
Senator Morton, who was relied upon by
the extreme Republicans did not come
to their relief.

The World thinks Pinchback ough,
to get into the Senate Chamber already
festOoned with carpet-baggers, of unsa.
worry memory. 1t says;
Morton and his confederates are work
ing the Senatorial caucus in behalf o.
Pinch. To seat the tonsorial aspirantwill
anyhow give the Radicals another vote
in the Senate, and it will not be long be-
fore the vote is wanted There is no par
ticular reason that we can see why the
caucus should not give Pinch his seat.
The majority in the Senate can scarcely
pretend to be squeamish on the subject
Of public opinion, of seating Spencer,
Dorsey, Clayton, Patterson and others in
absolute defiance Of it. 1t is true Pinch
has in his time played many parts, and
some fthem not the most reputable ones;
it is true thathis political record is check
cred with more baseness than that of any
darkey and Radical ever in Louisiana.
but he is more decent man, even with
soiled linen and watch-house kinked
hat, than Kellogg in Immaculate array,
and Morton S friends can do no better
than to seat Pinchback. There is no
need Of fearing the last straw when the
camel's back is already broken.

The Columbus Dispatch, commenting
on Senator Jones' bill, introduced in the
State Senate, limiting the profits of the
non-borrowers in Building and Loan
Associations, computes the profits on ten
shares to holders that do not borrow out
money. On the basis of eight years as a
limit to the association, the computation
shows that on an investment of one dol
lar per month per share. or nine hundred
and sixty dollars during the eight years,
the holder receives two thousand d, liars,
and as the investment is made in sums
of one hundred and twenty dollars per
year, that half the amount, viz: four hun
dred and eighty dollars, is the average
investment on which interest is drawn,
OF a clear profit Of fifteen hundred and
twenty dollars, und average Of one huh-
dred and twenty dolArS,o or forty per cent,
which is a shade better than GolcondA
diamond field or a California gold mine.

INDUSTRY and economy are the Sc
crets of success in life. Improvements
of time is indispensable to success in
any direction and to all, econ INV is
equally important The young man who
begins life poor should consider these
necessary qualities. He cannot attain
proper position and respect without these.
Industry and economy preserve one from
bad company, and hence bad habits.
Expenses should be kept within the in
come. A few cents saved here, or a
needless luxury curtailed there, will do
the work. There are many luxuries that
we might well dispense with, and that
are a positive injury to the health. Wear
your old clothes little longer, have them
cleaned and darned until you can afford
to buy and pay for new ones. Above
all, don't contract the habit of running
in debt, or going on the bond Of those
who do.

A MURDERER HUNG BY A MOB

CHICAGO, December asa special
dispatch from Des Moines says: This
morning about half past two o'clock a
body Of one hundred and fifty men, dis
guised, entered the jail, knocked down
the jailor, bound him, took the keys oi
the cells from his pocket, overpowered
the guards, and entered the cell where
Charles Howard, murderer of Johnson,
who was yesterday sentenced to impris.
onment for life, was confined. Hiswife
who was sleeping with him, clung to
him, uttering horrible shrieks, and il
was only with the force Of half dozen
men that Howard was dragged from his
bed. A rope was placed about his neck
and he was dragged through the hall
and the court house yard and hung.
All the men had their faces blackened
and were divided into squads, each do
ing its work without a word spoken.
After Howard had been fastened to the
post, the mob departed as silently as
they came. 1t is supposed the work
was done by members Of the Vigilance
Committee in this county, who had re-
Gently been holding meetings, and on
Saturday, when the jury came in with
their verdict, several were seated near
the prisoner.
