IT seems that the Connecticut Democratic
electors whose eligibility was doubtful, re-
signed their Federal offices before they were
chosen to the electoral college. So the Dem
ocracy had all their fright for nothing, and
the Maine laws regarding State officers will
not be put in force in Connecticut. But the
argus still purposes to enforce them in ver-
mont. 1t is, however, understood that the
Governor of that State will object.

WAR threats come back as if we were again
at the Threshold of war, and for exactly the
same reason. In 1861 they npened into vio-
lence because the Democrats lost the Govern
ment; in 1876 they may break into bloodshed
if they do not gain the Government. They
threatened, sixteen years ago, many weeks
before they struck. How long will they
thteaten now?

FLORIDA advices furnishes no definite clew
to the actual figures in that State, but the
Republicans abate nothing in confidence that
Hayes has an honest majority of the entire
vote. The situation is satisfactory to those
in possession of such facts as have come to
hand, and there seems to be no reason for
doubling that the Presidency rests upon the
vote of Louisiana.

THE Democratic idea of an "honest count"
appears to be to "count in'' all the Demo-
cratic candidates and "cornt out' all the
Republicans candidates no matter what the
vote may have been. The idea does not seem
to work in South Carolina.

SEVERAL of the Democratic watchers who
have returned to Washington from South
Carolina report that they were greatly sur
prised at the indifference Of the Democrats
in that State tp Tilden. They seemed to
care no thing whatever for him in comparison
to Hampton. They cherish bitter feelings
toward Northern Democrats for conspiring
with them to accomplish secession, and then
giving them no aid whatever when their
move resulted in war. These gentlemen say
that Southern Democrats have no idea of
doing the least thing looking to another war.
They and their people have had enough of
that, and leaders among them speak in great
derision of utterances sfrom North
ern Democrats sources which smack of
war. They say it was just so with their
Northern friends before, up to the time when
their assistance was wanted in the field.

1t appears from reports published ia the
New York Times that the policy of intimida-
tion in the South was endorsed and aided by
the Northern Democrats Up to election
day the Democratic leaders in the South were
making heavy demands on New York for
firearms. The Times says: Trade in arms
and ammunition was carried on by Southern
agents in behalf of 'rife clubs" The world
knows that those organizations were in
tended to Dragon certain States into the
support of Tilden. Moreover, it appears that
the Democratic Bureau in Liberty street,
New York, was engaged in this shameful
business as agent and go-between. In at
least one instance Southern Democratic
Executive Committee was the purchasing
agent, and Gov. Tilden was ready to sell
State ordnance for this purpose. This is the
party whose agents were secretly shipping
arms in time of peace, and which now howls
for Gree expression of the popular wir'-a
will which has been coerced by the shot-guns
and rifles of the political bandtt.

GEORGE ELIoT'S WANT OLE rAnr

GEORGE ELIoT's WANT OF TACT.
In the manner of Dapiel Deronda through
out there is SON ethihg that one calls want of
tact. The epigraphs in verse are want of tact !;
they are sometimes, think, trfle more pre-
tentous than really pregnant; the importantly
of the moral reflections is a want of tact the
very diffuseness of the book is a want of tact.
But it comes back to what said lust now about
ones sense of the author writing under a sort
of external pressure. | began to notice it in
Felix Holt; don't think 1 had before She
strikes me as person who certainly has natur-
ally taste for general considerations but who
has fallen on an age and circle which have
compelled her to give them an exaggerated at
tention. She does not strike me as naturally
critic. less still as naturally skeptic; her spon-
taneous part is to observe life and to feel it, to
feel it with admirable depth. Contemplation,
sympathy and faith-sometbing like that, l
should say, would have been her natural scale.
1t she had fallen upon an age Of enthusiastic
sssent to old articles of faith, it seems to me
possible that she would have had more per-
feet, more consistent and graceful develop
ment than she has actually had If she had
cast herself into such current-her genus be-
ing equal-it might have carried her to splendid
distances. But she had chosen to go into criti-
cism, and to the critics she addresses her work;
! mean the critics of the universe. Instead of
feeling life itself, it is ''views" upon life that
she tries to feel.-Henly James, Jr

THE SULTAN PRAYS.


Suddenly, do not know how, or from what
quarter, the feeling, for 1 could not call it in
formation, was diffused that the successor OF
the Prophet would pray at the mosque in Or
takei, and that he would 60 by caique; and Wa
all scampered up the road mile or two, racing
carriages, troops and foot men, in eager outset.
in order to arrive before the pious man. The
mosque stands upon the Bosphorus, where its
broad marble steps and pillared front and dome
occupy as conspicuous position as the Dogana
at Venice. We secured standing-place on the
dock close to the landing, but outside the iron
railing, and waited. A Gordon of troops in blue
regimentals with red .acngs was drawn around
the streets in the rear of the mosque, and two
companies of sOl1iers in white had stacked
their guns on the marble landing, and were
loungng about in front of the building.
The scene on the Bosphorus was as gay as a
flower garden. The water was covered with
graceful caiques and painted barges and every
sort of craft, mean apd splendid, that could be
propelled by oars or sails. A dozen men-of-war
were decked with flags from keel to maIntop
on every yard, and from bow-sprit to stern
stood a line of sailors sharply defined against
the blue sky. At one o'clock cannon am
nounced that the superior devotee had entered
his caIque, and then from every vessel of war
in the harbor salute answered salute in thun-
der that awOke the echoes of two continents;
uQtll OIL all tU6 UEUdu WdI6E lay d IulCk Dtltl6-
smoke, through which W, could distinguish
only the tops of the masts, and the dim hulks
spouting fire.
In the midst of this earthquake of piety,
there was a cry "He comes, he comes;' the
soldiers grasped their arms and drew a line
each side of the landing and the officials of
the mosque arranged themselves on the steps.
Upon the water, advancing with the speed of a
race horse, we saw two splendid caques, the
one containing the Sultan and the other his at
tendants. At the moment light carriage with
two bay horses, unattended, dashed up to the
side door, and there descended from it and en-
tered the mosque, the imperial heir the son of
the lata Sultan and nephew of the present, a
slender, pale youth of apparently twenty-five
or thirty years. We turn (not knowing how
soon he is to become Sultan Murad V. } our
eyes to him only for moment, for the Sultan's
caique comes with imperious haste, with the
rush as it were of vic:ory-a hundred feet loug,
narrow rising at the stern like the Venetian
Bucenteur, carved and eilded like the golden
chariot in which Alexander entered Babylon
propelled by fifty-two long sweeps, rising anG
falling in unison with the bended backs O
twenty-six black rowers clad in white anG
with naked feet. The Sultan is throned in the
high stern hung with silk, on silken cushions,
under splendid canopy ON the top of which
glistens his arms aud blazing sun. The Sui
tan, who is clad in the uniform of general
steps quickly out walks up the steps over
carpet spread for his royal feet-the soldiers
saluting, everybody With arms crossed, bending
the body-and disappears in the mosque =
