OUR MODERN PHARAOH.

Just what good the world has derived
from certain natural creations remains an
impenetrable mystery. George Francis
Train and the CORNISH grasshopper are
most excellent examples of these strange
anomalies. In respect to the former case,
the observing people of the world have
given it up as an unanswerable question,
while few persistent and untiring scien-
fists are still applying themselves assidu-
ously in their efforts to sustain the maxim
that nothing is created except for some
good purpose, so far as it relates to the
latter. But thus far their labors have
brought forth nothing, ahd they begin to
feel i: a hopeless task
In the days Of Egypt's sore distress,
when a famine was upon the land, and her
river ran red with blood, and the frogs and
vermin bred contagious diseases and filed
all the coasts Of the kingdom with an in
suffcra ble corruption; when bois and blains
afflicted IN already scourge-ridden people,
anu q mighty hail storm swept over the
face Of the earth and annihilsted all
vegetable life, and lett the country near
and ,ar barren waste, then came the
locusts The veritable ancestors of our own
grasshopper, and before the sun went down
nothing green was left in all the land of
Egypt. It will he remembered that this
terrible blow covered for q moment
the naughty spirit Of the proud Pharaoh,
and n hi, wild despair he cried aloud to
Heaven. imTIuTing that the curse be taken
from Ain:-yea. this grim death. Imme-
diately strong wind arose from out the
West, and, taking the voracious pests in
an unguarded moment, elevated them
from The face of the earth, and,
hurrying them off on the wings of the
whirlwind, dropped them without further
ado into the broad waters Of the Red sea.
And now it is with honest pride that these
prophesiera of ''gsOd results" point to this
sacred example, and with triumphant
smiles say, Behold the wondrous in
"fluence the hOppergrsss had on the OBJ
"durate heart of the mighty kings" This
is all very proper and nice. But just now
if it is not too much trouble for these
prophets, will they tell US from what
source are to arise the good results of the
great belt Of pesiierOus plaques that
spread today like gloomy pail over the
fair land from Minnesota to the Gulf Who
is the Pharaoh with the hardened heart?
And why don't this object of omuipOtent
wrath soften and speak so that this inYic-
iOus curse may be snatched up by the ire
'7ehed into the depths

pENKsYLYAKTA AYENuE.

Last week a protest" against q new
pavement for Pennsylvania avenue was in
dustriously circulated for signatures, and
it seems that some thirty-fve were OBJ
tanned out of the twelve hundred, more or
less, business men on the Avenue, and Of
these thirty-fve the greater part of them
are renters of property on the Avenue,
and have no further interest in its business
prosperity than what pertains simply to
the collection of their enormous rents.
There is not a single owner of property on
Pennsylvania avenue who would sell it to-
day at its assessed valuation with one third
added, and there never was time when
such high prices for rent were charged as
now. The prices asked for property and
the rents charged are the true and only
criterions of its value in the estimation OF
its owners. Columbus Alexander signs
the ''protest;" and what for? Simply to
try to delude Democratic House with it
as an evidence Of corruption, when he,
as every other well-iniormed person
knows that the late Board of Public Works
had nothing whatever to do with it. The
best and surest business interests OF every
merchant on the Avenue is jeOpardized by
all who oppose the improvement. 1t
makes no difference what has been and
what might have been. The fact is we
need a new pavement and vast majority
of those interested have earnestly petitioned
for it, and are ready and willing to bear
their share of the expense. "Wait for
Congress, the opponents say. "Wait for
the Judgment, would be no more sense
less cry. Even if Congress should take
the matter up favorably an appropriation
could not be made available before the 1st
of June next, and the new pavement
could not be finished before the 1st of No
vember, 1876, and by that time nothing
but the skim milk Of the great Centennial
will be left. We shall have suffered our
losses and disgraces, and all be a. great
deal poorer. By that time business will
be almost wholly driven from the Avenue,
and really the most snowy and the most
celebrated part of the city will be the sub
ject of derision on the part Of strangers.
We know that we speak the voice Of nine
teen twentieths of the merchants, business
men and property holders Immediately in
terested in this improvement when we
urge the Commissioners Of the District to
go on with it. The selfishness of the few
should not bar the success, prosperity and
wishes of the many.

THE PLAIN ENGLISH OF IT.

The New York ''hard money press be-
labors the Ohio Democracy most 1nmerci-
fully for its financial plank, and insists that
it should have taken its inspiration upon
that subject from Wall street. While we
cannot for moment approve Of the doc
trine of initiation put forth by the Demo-
Gratis, VIC do not see why the denizens of
Wall street should find any fault with it.
They have taught this policy by their man
agement Of all railway enterprises in the
West. The moment that New York Gapi-
talists assume control the stocks are
watered and the whole business carried for
ward upon imitation principles. Western
men have learned this to their sorrow.
They have paid for it in the shape of i'll
fated rates Of freight, and now they want
inflated prices for their real property and
produce. They know that they can only
obtain them by an increase of the circulat-
ing medium. They do not care for New
York. They have decided advantage of
New York capitalists They owe New
York more than New York owes them, and
they know, besides, that if Eastern capital
pushes the West and South to extremities
the reaction will break New York To be
sure the West will break first, but New York
will be overwhelmed when the great fnan-
cial tidal wave returns back from the West
and South.
The Hendricks and Pendleton men are
not looking for Eastern votes to carry the
next Presidential campaign They pro-
pose to unite the West and South upon
cheap transportation and initiation, and defy
the capitalists of the East. They propose
to pay their Eastern debts in deprecated
currency. 1t is possible that they have
shown theI hand little too soon, but
they think they can surely count upon the
election of their candidates without the aid
Of the North. Perhaps they are not to be
blamed, considering how they have been
swIndled by the railway and bank capital
lists of New York. The latter say that if
they contract their rates of freight and
passage on the great trunk roads to "hard
pan" prices, prices that will pay dividends
and interest on the actual cost of the i'm
provemeDt, on the stocks and bonds re-
they will break-will be hopciessls bank
rupt. No doubt they SPEAK trlly. Tne
managers have stolen and pockcred III th,t
is now represented by Water and sold OF,
as Gould did out of the Ere.
Now, the producers of the West turn
around and give these New York capitalists
tit for tat They say, if you contract the
currency and force US to gold prices, we
will be hopelessly bankrupt and cannot
pay you these inflated rates Of freight nor,
in fact, produce large crops for your roads
to carry OF. What is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. YOu loaned US
inflated money, and you want your pay in
gold. We propose to pay you in kind. We
have the power to Out-vote you, and we
intend to use it. If you do not like it, we
will trade with New Orleans and Baltimore
and Norfolk. This is the plain English of
the Obio platform as il is whispered under
the breath How does the New York De-
mOcracV like IL

WHAT is about to happe1f The Ishmael-
ite has again spoken well of the Attorney
General. What has Judge Pierrepont been
guilty of doing to secure praise from such
a source? There can be no two opinions
as to the wisdom contained in the cutting
irony of the Attorney Generals remark. or
that it should be needed by our people in
dfvidually and collectively. But why should
Dana praise itH Why should the Ishmaelite
see anything good emanate from member
of the Grant administration Wonders will
never cease. This is the second occasion
upon which the Sun has said decent word
of Judge Pierrepont, and, as it appears to
be q rule with that paper never to see any
thing to approve anywhere, the exceptions
are worthy of notice. 1t is not without ap-
prehension that some sinister design lies
back of it that we record the following from
the Sun of yesterday:
"Judge Pierrepont did judicious thing in
declining the proposed public dinner, but what
he said was even better. Our people'-this is
his language-'do not accept the inevitable,
but still insist that by some contriyanee they
can grow rich without economy, and continue
extrayagant without rRin.' Would that every
man and woman in the country could appro-
pirate the wisdom of this sentence and live up
TO it ftbey should do this business and in
dustry would at once revive and flourish as
they never flourished BEFORE"

soon as he felt the destructive influence of
their presence, but here we have modern
object of divine anger, so obdurate and i'm
pervious in his nature that he has with
stood this CORNISH and blighting scourge
for two consecutive years without breath
ing peep of repentance. If the Western
Democracy is, fguratively speaking, this
man Pharaoh, as great many are inclined
to believe, why, in the name of million OF
destitute families, don't they turn over
new leaf, and ease up on their manifold
sinsH If they harden their necks much
longer in the face of this terrible wrath
and awful visitation, the Colorado beetle
will probably come over and reinforce the
grasshopper, and then there will be but
one alternative for the Western Democrats
they must either soften little or starve.
