the prosecution Of the Whisky Ring at
St. Louis are in an uncomfortable frame
of mind. They turned in their bills for
services rendered only to find that an
economical Democratic House of Re-

HOPE.
BY GEORGE MACDONALD.

Men talk with their lips and dream with their SOL
OF better days hltherward pacing,
To happy, a glorious golden goal
For which they go running and chasing.
The world grows old and to youth returns,
But still for the Better mans bosom burns.
1t is Hope leads him in, helpless wight;
With her presence the boy is merry;
The youth is inspired by her magic light;
Her the old man will not bury
When weary he gains his journeys scope,
Even OIL the grave he planteth Hope.
She was never begotten in Folly's brain,
An empty illusion, to flatter;
In the heart her presence she crieth plain;
We are born to something better.
And that which the inner voice doth say
viii never the hoping spirit betray.
THE high MORAL PARTY ON CUFFEE.
We freed him because we had to-;
We vote him because we're glad to-;
His woolly head is thick.
We built him a bank Ito help himD
We then, with sigh, did scalp him.
He never knew the trick.
We'veplundered and blundered sadly,
But Cuffeell never know how badly
No fear that heR get sick.

sisting OF about three hundred Demo
Gratis from all parts OF the State, Mr..
Potter was talked OF with great favor as

Governship, and his friends were grati-

the reason why Mr.. Hill-and the others

attend to such insignificant matters as

At a meeting of the Twelfth Ward,
parish of Natchitoches, to consider the
manner and mode OF electing delegates
to the Parish Convention, it was re-
solved that the delegates should be
elected by ballot, and there should pc

for parochial offices who received the

be selected as candidates for delegates

The death of Speaker Kerr was not
generally known In Washington until
/ the nevtspapers announced It.. Outside
OF its effect SOCIALLY !, and in this respect
|it was received everywhere owith pro-
found regret, it started speculation i'm
mediately as to his probable successor,
tand asto the method Of proceeding hen
Congress again comes together. AS to
the first Of these matters the opinion 1s
that the choice OF Speaker will lie be-
tween Messrs. s. s. Cox, Of New York,
and Milton Sayler, of Ohio. Curiously
enough, the name OF Mr.. Randall, who
was Mr.. Kerr's most formidable COM
petitor, and received the next highest
number of votes In the caucus, Is hardly
mentioned for the place. 1t Is said that
Mr.. Randall Is not desirous now OF the
honor. The choice would go next to
Mr.. Cox; but the Western element,
which has assumed 80 much in the con-
troll OF the House, favors the selection OF
Mr.. Sayler, who was the Speaker pro
tenn. during the closing six weeks OF the
session. Mr.. Sayler made an efficient
and acceptable presiding officer. The
name OF Mr.. Blackburn, OF Kentucky,
! perhaps the readiest debater and best
posted parliamentarian on the Demo
cratic side and next in these respects to
Mr. Blaine, is also mentioned as posSl-
/ BILE candidate. The recent advent or Mr..
Watterson, OF Kentucky, on the floor OF
the House has also brought his name
forward for the vacant Speakership.
The question has been asked whether
Mr.. Sayler, as Speaker pro tenn, would
preside at the opening OF the session
next December TO this, answer. is
made that with the death OF the Speaker
his representative pro tenn ceases to hold
his office. This was one OF the possible
complications which the House was
afraid OF, on the last day Of the session.
Had Mr.. Kerr died last Tuesday after
noon, us was reported to be the fact,
the office of the Speaker pro ten. would
i have expired, it is said,, and all legisla-
tion that day after the moment OF Mr..
Kerr's death, and in the absence OF a
new Speaker, would have been null and
void. For this reason the House, when
it convenes next December, will be
called to order by the Clerk, and an
election had forthwith for Speaker
Meantime a Democratic caucus will be
called by Mr.. Lamar, the permanent
chairman Of the House caucus, which
will meet few nights before the open

The race problem at the South, Morton
and his bloody shirt followers tell us, is
the question OF questions Of the present
campaign, And what that is, Is thus
stated by James Redpath who Is writing
up for the Gazette notes from the Bout

says In letter to the, New York hide
pendent" ~'' ''+'!'..
1t is the greatest problem Of our. time. and a
most compie problem. Let me state 1t broadly.

negroes In all elections In South Carolina.

rinrge black majority. we shall establish system
OF Government which no white race on the lace
Of this earth either ought to endure or VIII
"That on one side :.
And the other side OF the problem reads: II
irage We thereby surrender the States Of South
Carolina. Miss ssippi and Louisiana to the same
brutal banditti who drove these communities
= The first side OF the question, as
stated by Mr.. Redpath. is demonstra-
BILE. It has already been demonstrated.
No white race ought to endure, or will
endure, such negro governments. They
are heils upon earth. The negroes in
the States named are not fit to, rule, as
has been proved by sad and fearful ex-
perience. Corruption, theft, embezzle..
ment, brutality, mark the progress Of
all such governments. io
On the other hand, where the whites
have recovered full possession OF, the
Southern States, they are rising out OF
the ashes of despair, are building anew
their waste places, are bringing order
OF chaos, and give adequate protection
I to all, without distinction OF race or
color. There are few, il any, race dis
turbances, and the cOlored population
have no cause to complain OF any VIC
lation OF their rights. So that Mr.. Red
path, while he has full authority
for saying that negro governments
established in South Carolina, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana would be unbear-
able by the white man, he has no
authority for saying that the surrender
ing of these States to the whites, who
have the property, the culture. and the
information, would be surfendering
them to the same brutal banditti who
drove them into civil war, for expert
ence has shown the very reverse. The
race disturbances are, almost wit hout
exception, In those States " here the ne
groes and unprincipled white adven-
turers have authority. Grants military
order is-intended to surrender the
Southern States to negro rule, which no
white race, according to Redpath, ought
to endure, or will endure, and yet Nor
