There will undoubtedly be a revival of The

The Boston Transcript says that the Mass.
achusetts Republican State Committee,
through its efficient secretaries and other
means of working, is doing more to arouse
the party in that state than ever before at so
early period in the campaign, and the PROM
ise from all quarters is very encouraging.
In the year $4,000 the Democratic admin
istration of Mr.. Buchanan collected S53, ,1S7,-
511.S7 for customs at cost of $3,324, ,43O SO.
In 1874-5 the present administration collected
$157, ,167, 722.35, and the total expense OF col
lection was STOPS, ,521.s0. 1t was six and
quarter per cent. under the Democrats, and
less than four and half per cent. under the
Republicans. Moreover, the cost of colec-
ton increased during the period of falling
revenue under the Democrats, while it has
been diminished during the last three years.
The repeated charges of corruption made
by Democrats against the Republicans have
invited an examination of the official records
of the defalcation of Democrats from 1880 to
1861. The list contains the names of persons
whose default exceeded $4,000. but the list
is OF enormous length. Among the most con,
spicuoas Democratic defaulters were Fowler

Men and Women.

Mrs. Lander will soon appear as Hester
Prynne in a new play based on Hawthorues
great romance of "The Scarlet Letter.
That human being may die of happiness
is illustrated by Bellini's exit from the worlds
"Puritani," and had SO great success that he
was carried in triumph upon the stage, where
he was decorated by the King. So much hap.
piness in single day overwhelmed him. He
went sick to the house of friend at Puteaux
and died there. He was buried in Pere-Lachaise.
That was in 1884; andit was only the other day
that his remains were carried to Italy for inter-
ment in his native city of Catania.
Mr.. Bayard Taylor writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial that he asked Prof Huxley the
other day, if he had learned, like Dickens, to
play upon that remarkable instrument. the
American catarrh.' ''No,'' replied the Pro-
fessor; but have scarcely yet recovered from
the lassitude produced by the intense heat up
on my arrival" Personally, MIR. Taylor says.
Prof. Huxley has created the most favorable
Impression. "Wrth his short, stout figure, his
massive head, steady gray eyes, compressed
lips and habitual air of gravity, he might pass
very well for Dissenting Clergyman; but
when he begins to speak, and his face becomes
mobile and animated, the presence of q
larger, certainly more independent individuals
ty is at once felt. He is incarnate honesty"
Cardinal Antonelli has many offices--is in
fact the greatest pluralist in the Roman Catho-
lie Church-and is by far the wealthiest Catho-
lie eeclesastic, if not the wealthiest of all Ital-
ians. His fortune is variously estimated at
from IN 70 md
entity Of his rare and priceless collection Of
works of art, ancient coins, ancient statuary,
and other articles of virtu. worth not less than
S20,00O,OO0. The Cardinal possesses one of the
finest assortments of precious stones to be
found in Europe, and he can boast of diamonds
of all shapes of the purest water, Incompatible
emeralds, pearls, and turquoises, the richest
laces and the matchless marvels of the loom Of
the last period. :e
Mrs. Sally Beers, of Eagle, Clinton County,
Michigan, has had the sole management of 0
farm containing upward Of one hundred i'm
proved acres, which she has managed with sue
cess equal to the best farmers of that section,
for period of twenty-five years. She is now
nearly seventy nine years old, and still has m ar
velous activity, executive ability, and force of
character; has reared nine children of her own,
and more than that number by adoption from
among the unfortunate, all of whom are cred
it to her. No person has had greater infu-
ence for good in all that section of the country;
nor is any one more universally respected, for
broad philanthropy, earnest hatred of wrong,
and practical judgment. This year, for the
first time, she is giving up some of her cares to
her daughter, Mrs. Anna B. Smith, who bids
fair to rival her mother except in health and
longevity.

The published statement that Judge Taft
contemplates resigniug the Attorney General
ship on account of a difference of opinion with.
the Administration as to the Southern situa-
ton, is entirely incorrect. In private convsr
sation the very day before he left for Ohio,
Judge Taft was specially emphatic upon the
subject of the indignites offered to the negroes
of the South by the white-liners, and stated
with great emphasis that all the means in the
power of the government, so far as his depart
ment was concerned, should be employed to
protect every American citizen everywhere in
his rights of liberty and of suffrage under the
Constitution.

A PROMINENT Portland merchant writing
from Philadelphia says: "Politlcal matters
are looking well in Pennsylvania. The peo-
pie are awake and Hayes and Wheeler will
have a large majority. Philadelphians were
disappointed that Mr.. Blaine did not address
them as anticipated Saturday evening. He
has many strong, warm friends among people
here who were disappointed that he was not
nominated. A very intelligent merchant Of
New York said TO me, If all the people Of
this country were as intelligent as the people
in Maine, the country would always be safe
politically"

The Democratic organs are doing some in
genious figuring over the election returns in
this state. Taking the congressional vote
they find the Republican majority to be about
eleven thousand. But they omit to take into
the account the fact that there was disaffec-
tion toward two of the candidates for Con-
gress, disaffection which did not extend to
the state ticket, and which caused the cast.
ing of about sixteen hundred votes for inde-
pendent candidates, besides some hundreds OF
votes for regular Democratic candidates. The
vote for Governor is the test vote, and all at
Temps OF Democratic organs to make it ap-
pear otherwise will be vain.

FROM careful estimates of the amount re.
quired to pay the Navy during the present
fiscal year, after all officers that can be spared
from the actual needs of the service shall
have been placed upon furlough pay, it is be-
lieved there will be a deficiency of at least
million dollars. The amount appropriated
was s5,75O,OOO, or s1,S59,OOO less than the
estimates. The pretended Democratic saw
ing is merely postponement of payday.
The Portland daily press., 1876-10-02

ANOTHER instance of Democratic economy
IS furnished by the Washington correspond
ent of the Boston Advertiser: The contracts
for furnishing the Indian bureau with sup
plies and goods for the present fiscal year
have all been made, and at about 10 per cent.
lower than the prices paid last year. All this
saving will be lost, however, by the increased
cost of transportation of the supplies West.
Heretofore the appropriations have been
made by Congress in time to enable the bu-
reau to enter into new contracts by the first
OF July, SO that the supplies could be deliv-
cred at st. Louis or some other point on the
Missouri river in time TO be sent by steam
boats to the extreme northeast before the
close of navigation. This year, however, the
appropriation bill did not pass until the Sec
ond week in August, and although the In
dian bureau has used all the haste possible in
making new contracts it was found that in
order to get the Indians their supplies and
annuities this fall il would be necessary to
ship by railroad to Bismarck, Dakota Terri
tory, and thence by boat. The last boat be-
fore the close of navigation leaves Bismarck
on the 9Th of October, and the bureau has
been forced to use extraordinary efforts to get
supplies 10 that point before that date. The
additional cost of sending by rail to this point
instead of by water will be nearly $15O,OOO,
which is directly chargeable to the policy pur-
sued by the Democratic House in delaying
the passage of the Indian appropriation bill.

The European Situation,


II is only reasonable to believe that Servia
had strong assurance of assistance from the
outside in her struggle against Turkey when
she refused to prolong the armistice with the
Porte. 1t is also reasonable to believe that
the offers Of assistance came from Russia, for
no other nation has much temptation to en-
courage renewal Of the war. England cer-
tainly desires to bring it to close. Austria
is still more deeply interested in cessation
of the conflict, for its continuance menaces
her integrity. Germany may entertain hopes
that the involvement of Austria in war would
lead to the absorption of the German terrific.
ry of that power in the new empire; but her
hopes are scarcely strong enough to induce
her to extend active aid to the insurgents.
Russia alone has much to gain and nothing
to lose by the breaking up Of the Ottoman
dominion in Europe.
The Russian government it is true is ap-
parently working in the interests of peace.
Probably it is not yet prepared for war and
wishes to gain time to put its armies on a
war footing. But the sympathy of the Rus
sian people has been aroused by the sufferings
OF the Sclavic brethren; they are deeply in
censed with Turkey, and their desire to aid
Servia is so strong that the Gear can no long
er control it. 1t may be that the Russian
government is endeavoring to restrain the
Russian Prince; but if the Serbs are assured
that the Russian people will actively help
them they will care little for the remonstrances
of ENJOYS or cabinets. With thousands of
Russians joining their armies, with munitions
OF war and stores of support freely passing
over the border, they feel that they can
safely defy Turkey. All they will ask
of the Czar is that he shall prevent the
interference Of other powers, and that he
has always been ready to do. Although
Russia may not be fully prepared for
war her greatest apprehension has been re-
moved. She feared the British navy. But
within a few weeks marked change has
taken place in the pahlic sentiment of Eng
land, and it may safely be assumed that that
nation will not go to war for the preservation
OF the integrity of the Ottoman dominion.
OuO 10 iaI uiolC OcIfldu Iudu urhlSu III utT
sympathies to-day. Relieved of the fear of
England's navy and assured Of the neutrality
OF Germany, whose only interest in the COM
plicalion is to get possession of the German
speaking provinces of Austria, Russia need
entertain no apprehensions of the result of a
war waged for the freedom of the Christian
provinces of Turkey.
There is another state than Turkey whose
integrity is seriously menaced by the revival
of the Eastern question. With Italy cove.-
ing her Adriatic provinces and Germany
longing for her Germanic possessi ons, with
her Bohemans clamoring for Pan-Sclavism
and her Magyers protesting against it, Aus
tria occupies delicate and difficult position !:
for war might result in the shattering of her
extensive and discordant empire.

for lieutenant governor, Lafayette Head; for
secretary of state, William M. Clark; for
auditor, D. G. Crawford; for treasurer,
George c. Corning; for attorney general,
A. j. Sampson; for superintendent of pablc

James B. Belford. The Democratic candi-
date for governor is Bella M. Hughes; for
lieutenant-governor, Michael Beshoar; for
Congress, T. M. Patterson. Three judges of
the Supreme Court will be elected, and both
parties have candidates in the field. This
