port. Even the men who concientously
opposed his nomination at st. Louis, be-
cause they believed that he could not car
ry the State, are now his earnest support
ers. The result in Indiana has insured the
vote Of that State in November. Mr.. TIL

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC THREE
YEARS.

People who are at all alarmed about
New York may as we'll remember that
that State has been Democratic for three
successive years, and in eight out Of the
last ten elections. In 1873, before Mr..
Tilden's nomination for Governor, it was
carried by good majority. In 1874 Mr..
TiIden was elected by more than $4,000
elected by the rural districts, for he had
an absolute majority of the votes, leaving
out Of consideration entirely the great Dem
ocratic cities of New York and Brooklyn.
Last year his reform ticket was elected by
smaller majority, because the men whose
pecuIations he had exposed were bitter in
fighting against it. This year he is stronger

A Terrible Example.

From the Providence Joul nall
A melancholy case of the effect Of the
baleful habit OF opium taking in Brooklyn,
N. Y, is thus described by q correspondent
of the Providence Journal: A beautiful
woman and . reigning belle, some years ago,
in that city, was Frustrated with pro-
longed and excrutiatingly painful sickness,
to alleviate the sufferings of which the ply
sicians in attendance prescribed laudanum,
which was taken with the result of fixing
the habit upon the patient. That habit has
dragged her down into such depths Of
physical and moral degeneracy as would be
almost incredible If related. The appetite
has become so ravenous that 1t has de-
manded the constant use of the strongest
ts5acco smoked In the rankest of pipes, in
addition to the immense quantities of laud-
snum which are taken. If anyone could
see this once beautiful woman, now sal
low, wrinkled, prematurely aged hag, bent
over, and in the act Of smoking her vile
pipe, and know Of the absolute loss of ell
self-respect and total collapse of the moral
sense in her, 1t would add much force to
the concluding advice of your reporter,
"don't." It will scarcely be believed when
1t is stated that she drinks nearly five
quarts Of laudsnum every month, yet such
is the fact.

THE INDIANA VOTE AND IFS SIG.
NIFICANCE.

Governor Williams majority in Indiana
is 5,440, the Democratic majority, on pop
ular vote for Congressman, 6,97e, and yet
Democrats have lost Congressman in the
State. These figures prove the charge that
the Congressional districts in Indiana have
been gerry, wandered by the Republicans.
The same is true Of Ohio.
The geographical situation Of Congress-
ional districts in Republican States is
enough 10 set a Cotton mad. The terri
tory is portion in triangles, squares and
circles, connected by narrow strips Of land,
or not connected at all, so as to deprive
Democratic portions of the State Of their
just representatives in comparison to rela-
tive party strength in the population.
This process has been extended to every
Stat. where the Republicans have control
and is only part of their general system Of
cheating the people out Of the legitimate
force Of their popular vote. The whole
system Of congressional apportionment
should be revised so as to constitute some
definite standard of geographical as we'll as
numerical representation.
So long as districts can be so construct
ed as to give the party in minority in the
State less than their fair proportion of
representatives in Congress, the system is a
fraud upon the popular representation.
This is really matter worthy Of the
most serious consideration of our law
makers, and one absolutely necessary to
practical reform. The theory Of our Gov.
eminent is that, except in the Senate, rep
resentation should be fairly in accordance
with population, and the gerrymsndering
Of districts, SO that majority Of the State
has only minority Of its Congressional
delegation is plain violation Of that
theory. OF course, when the Democrats
get in power they will have the same
opportunities that the Republicans have
profted by, but they will prove true tc
their professions Of reform, by refusing To
virtually disfranchise their opponents.

In 1874, the people Of Nebraska applied
for 1000 rifles in order to defend their
homes against the Sioux Indians. Con-
Rress refused to let them have arms. But
Congress permitted the Indian agents in

1876 to Sitting Bull and his men: with
these arms Custer and his soldiers were
massacred,

GALVESTON, Tex, March 1.-THE
completion Of the survey Of the harbor
by Lieut.. Quinn shows that Western
Point, where in June, 1875, there was
only five feet OF water, has entirely dis.
appeared, and the soundings at that par.
ticular spot show depth Of IA feet. The
western channel, formerly used in cross.
ing the inner bar, is entirely closed, and
the deep water Of Galveston hurbor chan.
mel has united with the deep water oppo.
site the end OF the jetty and lacks only
$50 feet Of uniting with the deep water OF
Bolivar channel. When this connection
is made there will be depth Of over IS
feet on the inner bar. The gabions in
the ietty arc covered with sand.
The old swash channel is obliterated
and is now connected and forms
a continuation Of Galveston Island. The
depth Of the water in the shoal spots at low
tide is now II feet, at extraordinary high
tide 10 feet, and before the city com.
menced the site Of the breakwater there
was only 0 feet OF water on the inner bar.
The recent work by the government has
confined the water to q single channel.
The results already obtained are very sat
iSfactory, and there appears no doubt
that the lefty system as being applied
will terminate in giving Galveston is to
90 feet OF water over the bars.

Failure OF the Bank of the State
of New York,

NEW York, March 1.-THE Erening
Post says that tho State Bank Of New
York closed its doors to-day, by reason Of
its having been thrown out Of the Clear.
ing House. This action Of the Clearing
House Commission was taken after the
investigation suggested by the Bank Ex-
aminer, Mr.. Meigs. He found the affairs
Of the bank in bad condition, there hav-
ing been.largc overdraits made by specu.
lators in merchandise. The Clearing
House will have a full meeting at 3
o'clock to ratify or disapprove the action
OF the Clearing House Commission. The
capital OF tile bank is S2,000,000. By
last Saturdays statement it had loans OF

ers, and il is thought that the capital Is
impaired one-half. The examination
OF the affairs OF the bank was begun by
Meigs some days ago. He found that ir-
regular loans had been made 10 produce
dealers, and that a great many bad debts
were the result. Among these debts there
are aeceptions OF Duncan, Sherman &
Co., to the amount Of 1000, then there
are other debts in sums varying from $l0,-
900 to $4,000. When these facts were
ascertained, Meigs reported to the Clear

meeting this morning 1t was decided that
