republican Praise ~ uhr Course at
Southern Democrats.

We hasten to accord our praise and
express Ou' admiration for the behavior
OF the southern democrats in congress.
II there has been any injustice done or
any wrong perpetratcd rs has been 50 vc-
hcmentIy claimed, in the counting aud
declaration of the votes in the disputed
states, they are the direct sufferers hy
It the interest they have in the uucs
tion is immediate and personal. We do
not doubt that many of them do think
they have been unfairly dealt with, and
that their own regulations as good citi-
znnS and the good name of their states Il,
pcarcabe and Iaw-abidng communities
nave been unjustly aspcrscd Nndcr
such circumstances they have shown
great patience and moderation, and set
good examples to their northern a,sOci-
atcs who have apparently been disposed
to threaten and bIustcr and tomcnt dis
turhauce and civil disorder. We can
not too heartily commend the attitude
taken by the southern democrats in this
mattcrand hcirOhvious determination 10
preserve peace and order and acqucsrc
in The results, whatever they may be
Their conduct is in such marked and
striking contrast with the behavior Of
men, like speaker Randall and Fernando
Wood that the whole country has taken
note Of it, Should to it happen to the
democratic party ever be restored to pub
lie confidence and returned to power, il
will bc due to the wise aud discreet ar.
ton of southern wing OF the party, and
in spite Of the performances Of the Wood-
and RandaIs
In the midst OF all the nonsense and
folly of the impeachment talk the south.
ern democrats, for the most part, keep
their heads level and their tcmpers und,.
turbcd They know better what opposi
| tion to constituted authority means
than do their friends from the north, who
have threatened and clustered always
but never put their threats in execution.
McSsrs. Randall and Wood and the other
| hUt.headed advocates of impeachment
and stirrers up of strife would do well to
learn II little discretion from Mc-IM
Lamar and Gordon, whs have more rea-
son to be dissatisfied with the turn OF
events, but are able to exercise more
philosophy over it than their northern
brethren. -Nrw iOrk 7rjbmr

Mr.. Knott's Invention for Preventing
Sea-sickness.

Mr.. Knott was about to sail for
Europe. He informed his friends that
sea-sickness had no tsrrors for him. He
said he had an infallible preventive
of that malady. lie bought it of an
old sailor, who had been to sea for 40
years, and had never been sick an hour.
And Knott said that, when the steam
er got out on the ocean, all he had TO
do was to swallow couple of these
powders, and then the winds might howl
and the pillows roll, for no ocean that
was ever built could turn his stomach.
On the day he started he enjoyed
himself great deal, talking with his
friends while sailing down the bay; and
as soon as the ship got out on the
open sea, and began to roll, he took n
dose of preventive. Presently be be-
gan to look solemn, and then he took
another. After bit, he said his corns
hurt him, and he thought he would lie
down on the sofa. Then n sickly look
overspread his face, and the steward
asked him if any thing was the matter.
Knott said that he thought that coffee
they had for breakfast must have disa-
greed with him. Then he suddenly
jumped up, and flew to the deck. The
Captain directed his attention TO the
beautiful sunset, but Knott seemed
TO prefer to hang over the
side of the ship, with his
face toward the water. Then the Cap
tain asked him if he was sick, and he
said no; he was only trying to see if
they were yet in the Gulf Stream. Then
his frame convulsed, and he began to
get rid OF his gastric juice. He seemed
to be trying to bringup breakfast that
he ate during the Seminole War. After
working down pretty well toward it, he
asked them TO carry him 10 his state
room, where he gave the steward a box
containing the old sailors infaliible
preventive of sea-sickness, and remark
ed that, if the steward would chuck that
awful truck into the bosom of the
mighty deep, he would confer favor
upon Mr.. Knott. Then Kaott rolled
over in his berth, with pallor in his
face, and said to his companion:
"Bill, don I old what's-his-name Hux-
lev say in one Of his books that the At
lantic Ocean is gradually filling up, SOS
it'll be dry land some day?"
al believe he does"
"well, Bill, when | get to Europe
I'm going to stay there until the cussed
thing fills, and then I'm going to drive
over home in buggy. No more navi-
CATION for me, if you please"
Then he called for the steward, and
the conversation ended. Philadelphia
