DEMOCRACY JUBlLATING.

"a New York Journal" says the Wash
ington Chronicle" calling itself 'nde
pendent and which never neglects an
opportunity to strike blow against the
Republican party, is rejoicing over what
it calls the great political reaction since
the re election of President Grant in 1872.
1t prints table exhibiting what it calls
the Republican and Opposition vote in the
eighteen States which have held general
elections since November, 1872, and foots
up the result as follows: Republican
vote for 1872 in these eighteen States
2.104.330; Opposition vote, 1874. $50 !;
Republican vote at the elections which
have transpired in these States since. l.
49s. $50; Opposition vote, 1867, 0l5. 1t
Gays that In 1872 Grants majority in these
States was 1898 and the Opposition
majority at the elections since was 1885,
965.
II closes the article with these words:
1T is almost unnecessary to add that
ninety-eight per cent. of these Opposition
gains are Democratic gains, and equally
unnecessary TO state what the elections of
the past few months have demonstrated
with absolute certainty, that the Demo
cratic party must eventually and speedily
attract to its ranks all the struggling OPP
ponents of Republicanism who, under one
name or another, are attempting to wage
a sort Of guerilla warfare against the Re-
publican party
This exhibit, although full of errors,
has about enough truth in it to make it in
teresting as political lesson to the men,
bers of the Republican party. For exam
pie, the table represents the Republican
vote of California al the last election al
only 1854. and the Opposition" vote a,
54,95i. when it is well known that the
election OF Booth as Governor, and his
friends in the subsequent election which
resulted 10 his return to the United States
Senate, was regarded as Republican
triumph. At the last State election there
were three tickets in the field-Demo-
cratic, Republican, and Independent
and the last named triumph d, with Booth
At its head. who short time before had
been triumphanily elected at the head of

The whirligig of time has been at work
down South turning things upside down, un-
til nov a North Carolina editor tells of wha'
he calls "a case of popular horror" in Char
lotte, where white woman, whose husband
was killed in the Confederate service, is now
serving in colored family as cook, and her
girl ten years old as scullion. Well, this lie
hard, sure enough; but there is one comfort
in it-probably the white "help gets paid

The steamship Ohio one Of the new Phils-
drlphia line, seems to have had very narrow
escape ON her voyage to Liverpool, and it J.
probably owing to excellence of construction
and extraordinary good management that H
terrible disaster was avoided. She took fire
in mid ocean. and though the conf ,grAtan
gained great Roadway, and burned large
part of the cargo and interior work, steam
was kept up, and she arrived safely at Liver
pool. being also enabled to touch at Que sens
town as usual. The fire was still burning in
the hold, wi h matches bait ned down, when
the vessel arrived at her destination. The
circumstance is almost without precedent in
the history Of ocean navigation, and the nara
tive of that fiery voyage will be well worth
reading.
