THE DIFFERENCE.

It is the cause of great unhappiness
to the Democratic Reform editors of
this State that the Republicans succeed
ed in getting SO eminently satisfactory
ticket for the support of the people at
the coming election. Great and unt1r-
ing are the efforts to traduce, and villify,
| and misrepresent the individuals COM
posing this ticket, in order that the Re
publican masses may become dissatisfied
with it, but as yet their efforts have
been signally futile and unavailing. To
create diversion in the foreign element
of the party, they have turned their at
tention with peculiar bitterness and ma
hgnity towards Major B@tz and Hans
B. Warner, falsely intimating that the
one is corrupt defaulter, and the other
base pretender. 1t happens in the
one case that the financial ability and
strict integrity of Major B4tz are too
well estabished-he is too well known
and too highly respected, especially so
by his own countrymen, to give these
inuendoes of his political enemies any
point. They are gnawing away at file,
and make no impression, save upon
their own dull incisors. The more they
traduce and SANDER, the closer Will his
friends draw around and support him ;
the more they batter away at his integri-
ty the brighter it will appear.
Their efforts against Mr.. Warner are
having precisely the same effect. At
first he was not so well known, except
in the neighborhood of his own country,
but the ACCUSATIONS that have been pre-
ferred against have brought out his
friends in his defense, and he is not
only proving the falsity of the accusations,
but is developing positive qualities that
show him to be worthy of and entitled
to the warmest support.
In the meantime, feud has sprung
up in the Reform ranks, that is daily
opening and widening, and becoming of
too virulent nature to be healed. The
old Democratic elements of the party
have never been satisfied with the pres
ent administration, and have never
minced their words in saying so. But
now, in view of having the same ticket
foisted upon them for reelection, their
opposition becomes open and reSolute.
When such men as composed the Mil
waukee boilers meeting make such
speeches as they are truly reported to
have made, they mean business, and no
belittling of them is going to bring
them into the line. The significance of
the movement is a fixed fact, however
much the Reform organs may try to ig-
more it. They cannot laugh or frown it
down, and they better not try. The
men they have to deal with are not of
the sort to yield to either influence.
So it is; nobody is dissatisfied with
the Republican ticket save our. enemies /;
AMI with the majority which it is certain
we have in the State, we can well afford
to let them complain to their hearts
| content Our business will be move
forward and triu1nphantly elect ticket
we all feel is eminently worthy of our
| support

MEsMERIzING CoCK.-An expert
ment which it may amuse the boys to
repeat has been described by several
correspondents to a popular science
journal. Place cock upon a table or
board, and holding his wings close down
to his sides, let a second person bend
down his head until his beak touches
the board ON which he lies, and draw a
line of white chalk straight out from the
point of his beak This done t,le bird
may be released from all restraint, and
he will not stir so much as a feather.
s'Nay, further" writes one, '.you may
clap your hands or shout close to him,
without rousing him from his lethargy,
from which, however, he will ultimately
recover"

NOW AND THEN.

A very intelligent Old darkey was met
by an ante-bellum friend the other day
for the first time since the war, and the
old mans delight at seeing the Massa' s
ticker friends in old times was un-
bounded. After q hearty Misunderstanding
and a protracied laugh peculiar to the
Southern darkey, the gentleman asked
"Well, Uncle Joe, how are you get
ting along in the world9''
''Sorter slow, Marse-. Been had
rheumatic right smart lately, and things
amt gone 'zactly right nohow," replied
the darkey.
GA great many changes have taken
place since saw you, Uncle Joe. Death
has taken your old master away, the
family are scattered about the four quar-
ters of the globe, the farm is divided up,
and strangers occupy the old house. II

PROTECTIVE ship-building has receiv-
ed severe blow in the fate of the mag
nificent steamship City of Picking, which
was launched by John Roach with such
vast flow of patriotism and champagne
year ago. It has been virtually con-
demned as unseaworthy by the port
authorities of San Francisco. It is fall
ing to pieces already. The screws, bolts
and rivets upon which the life of the
vessel depends have been falling out
ever since it was built but the cabin,
which cost 100000, is still gorgeous.
The Pacific Mail is rotten clear down to
the timbers of its ships.

the advantages of advertising. The law
requires the Commissioner to award the
contract to the lowest bidder. He is in
doubtwhether the firm which wants to
pay for doing the work, is, under the
law, the lowest bidder.

On Monday the new Commissioner, l. J.
qualified Commissioner, in place of VIM.
Alexander whose term expired.
Mr.. Alexander upon his retirement from
the board made few felicitous remarxs, re-
ferring to the pleasant official and personal
intercourse between himself and his fellow
members on the Board, to the arduous and
sometimes unpleasant duties of the office, and
to its grave responsibilities, after which the
new Commissioner was installed and the new
Board organized by selecting Solomon Hogue,
the senior member, President
In the retirement of Mr. Alexander, the
Board loses faithful and valuable officer, the
people public servant, whose entire term has
been spent in organizing complete system of
records in that office-in bringing order out of
the Democrat chaos that was bequeathed a
Republican Board-in reforming abuses, in
reducing expenditures and in judicious en-
couargement of public improvements. With
out disparagement to the many excellent men
who have held the office of commissioner in
this county, we may safely assert, that none
have been more capable, energetic and willing,
and none have had a more correct judgment
and exercised more sound discretion than
Mr., Alexander. His successor, Mr.. Potts,
we have no doubt, will fill the office to the
entire satisfaction of the people and with the
ability which characterizes his career as 6
successful business man.
