the day Of its tyranny is everywhere
close at hand. 1t certainly has no
"divine right" to control the con-
viction Of any self-respecting man
in such a matter Of public duty.
There is no danger in this pro-
garmme of sending a Democratic
Senator to Washington. The Re-
publican ascendendcy on the joint
ballot in the Legislature is decided
and the laws Of this State and Of
the United States provide that a
Senator cannot be elected without
clear majority Of all the votes
cast resolutely for any Of a dozen
well-known Republicans of high
abilities and all the precedents Of
the past point clearly to such re-
suit. We believe that the present
opportunity will find the men ready
for the work, and we know that
public sentiment will respond with
enthusiasm to their action.-Detroa

The Senatorial Issue.

The Republican party is to-day
standing amid the consequences of
the most unexpected and sweeping
reverse in its history. Vanished
majorities, lost strongholds, defeat
ed leaders and wrecked hopes
invite its contemplation in almost
every community in both sections
of the Union. The causes Of the
general disaster are neither remote
nor difficult of comprehension, and
they have been discussed during
the last week by the leading or
gans of Republican opinion with
marked candor, intelligence and
force. There has been no differ
ence in judgement among the in
huential and able newspapers OF
the party (which represent the
independent opinion Of the organ
ization and not merely some per-
sonal interest thercin) upon one
point, viz: That among the most
potent agencies in producing ouI
defeat have been the discomfort
excited by obnoxious symtems o.
partizan management and the dis
trust aroused by the prominence
gained in the Republican councils
by men representing the lower and
not the better tendencies of oul
politics. The election returns II

The report of Gen. Spinner,
Treasurer Of the United States, is
in the hands of the government
printer. He devotes considerable
space to an argument in favor of
issuing interchangeable bonds. to
bear interest at the rate Of 1865 per
cent. His arguments on this point
are in the same as those Of last
year, except that he believes that
it would be wise to allow holders
to exchange the 1865 for outstand-
ing 5 aud 6 per cent bonds. He
says that the greatest objection to
metallic currency is its lack Of
elacticity, and is of the opinion
that the adoption of the converti-
bic bond will correct the evil. He
thinks the rate of interest will be
high enough to sell the bonds, to
the absorption Of any surplus cur
rency at any time while it will be
enough 10 force a return of the
bonds in exchange for legal tender
notes when the business OF the
country demands more currency
The rate of interest at l per cent
a day on the hundred dollars would
be popular with the people, he says
because it is easy Of computation
He argues that the convention o.
the IS and 6s into low rate bond,
In the event Of the condition Of TIT
currency demanding such CONVEX
sion, would result in the materia
reduction Of the interest on thu
public debt, and make it payable
entirely ia national currency a

ers.

found TO possess signs of animation
and really being restored to life
after lying on Ice for three days,
has just transpired at Yonkcrs,
Westchester county. 1t appears
that a seven-ycar old child Of a
machinest named Miller, living on
Riverdale avenue, in the city above
mentioned, having been in delicate
health almost from the time of its
birth, was attacked by an unusual
severe fit Of illness last Thursday
morning. A physician was called
in, and he, after apparently salts
flying himself as to the course of
treatment to be adopted, prescrib-
ed for the little one, and on leaving
intimated that he would call again
in the afternoon. 1t is understood
that the medicine prescribed was
a powerful opiate; but whether
this was the case or not, it is as
serted that when the medical men
called in the afternoon glance a.
his late patient induced him to pro-
nounce the child dead. The SER

indescribly painful state of anxiety
to the parents, while the frightened
guests crowded around the am

means of testing whether the child
was really alive or dead. Three or
four physicians were sent for, and
they at once commenced a thorough
search for any lingering evidence

means, to that of tying a cord
tightly on the fingers, whereby it
was seen that the nails changed

heart had not ceased to perform its
all-important functions. When it
became apparent that there was
life in the child, the most approved
manner of administering restora

The editor Of the Intelligencer, know

himself of our knowledge, without the
customary offer of fee. This is very
wrong. If he will send us over legal
tenders to the amount of his fees in the

case.
He wants to know, also, what we
think OF some resolutions, which we

that had anything to do with paying
nine dollars a day, for u whole month,
for registering the voters of this city 4;
why we don't open street in rear OF

held the whip over him (the member, }
when no member ever said any such
thing. Our neighbor, in short, seems
to be in search of information about
everything, except the real derelictions
of the municipal government whose
cause he has championcd, and OF which
he knows ten times as much as almost
any one else, and by whose patronage
he has been protited to very consid-
cradle extent. We believe we have,
from time to time, sufficiently demon
strated the inefliciency Of this govern
ment; and the indications appear clear
to us that the Republicans do not
intend to offer to the property-holders
a better prospect for a competent, wise
and prudent administration Of city
affairs. We urge the formation of
ticket, in opposition to the Republicans
which will represent something, to
show we arc not lapsing into ignorance
"a ticket composed of mon who have

respect and the standing commensurate
with the interests and Importance of

State Of tlaS Waters.

$50 far as we can determine from an
average of reports, the Dnachita is
higher now than in 1868.
Since our last tho rise has been fully
6 inches.
Iligll~watcr marks, as given from
memory, vary considerably; but put
ting all the reports together, the river
is certainly higher now than it has been
since 1851. AS heavy rains have just
fallen, and there is 4 flood in the Mis-
sissippi, with widc-sprcading ovcrilows
below this point, and q rise at Camden
three and Il half feet, two days ago,
higher than any rise of which there is
any recollection, we conclude that the
Ouachita is in n fair way to surpass
itself, at least since 1928.
The water is running over at the low
places at Trenton, and backs up belly
deep to q horse on the street between
the town and tho suburbs. COntin-
uous watching has been necessary,
for several days, on the lcvccs above
and below Monroe, and the most re-
liable reports arc, that there arc but
two or three inches of frcsl-mahc earth
to spare on these lcvccs.
We may sum up the prospect, with
the prediction, that the year 1871 Will
be memorable, for Il half century, for
high water.
