THE rHTsiDEyrIAL SUCCESSION

STIE rIIsiDESrIAL SUCCESSION
is the most absorbing of all questions
at this time. Whatever the needs of
the country may be, they are all held
in allegiance. or, if acted upon at all,
are only considered in their relation to
the main issue, which is, "Who shall
be PRESIDENT" A careful analysis of
some two hundred papers, of all shades
of opinion, disclOses variety ofchoice
only equalled by that of locality, and a
want of concentration which foretells
difficulty in selection, with considera-
BILE margin for log-rolling, bribery, and
corruption. Conventions are irrespon-
sible bodies, unknown to the laws of
the land, and are known to have been
corrupted, hitherto, by bargain and
in matter of office. They are likely to
be subjected, in the near future, to
similar influences. refer, particular

DEMOCRATIC AsPIRANTs.

From all that one can CLEAN in the
Democratic journals, it would appear
equally as difficult, on that side, tc
take any mans chances against the
field. In the list We notice sixteen
papers for Hendricks, eight for Thur
man, twenty seven for Tilden, eighl
for Bayard, three for Governor Allen,
two for Pendleton, and two for Black.
General Hancock has three journal
istic hackers, and the Shreveport
Times, of La, advocates Ex-Governor
Hoffman, of N. Y. The papers from
which these names are taken come
from all portions Of the country. A
large majority are unpronOuuced.-
This shows that public sentiment is
still drifting, and has not yet fixed
upon the silent features of the contest,
or upon the candidate who will ems
body them. Much, entirely too much,
is being left to chance. Even when
State conventions have declared
themselves for candidates, there is an
apparent want OF eanestness, as in
Pennsylvania for Hartranft, and Indi>
ana for Morton, where, by the way,
the Republicans have put forth a plat,

himself by claiming that his brother

ST Louis, February 19.-As the Bab-
cock trial draws to its close, public in
terest increases to an anxious pitch. The
courtroom was utterly indequate to &C.
immediate one-tenth part of the citizens
who sought admission this morning.
There was intense eagerness to hear
Colonel Broadhead's opening speech for
the prosecution. Within minute after
Judge Dillon had taken his seat on the
bench Broadhead began his argument.
The speaker was exceedingly forcible
and practical, but lacked all forensic dis
play. As was expected, he indulged in
an indirect but severe criticism upon the
administration of President Grant of
which he has long been cons picuous
opponent. He concluded his argument
In two hours, and after recess Storrs
opened for the defense. After speaking
for about an hour he was seized with
palpitation Of the heart, TO which he is
subject, and being unable to proceed the
court was adjourned till Monday morn
ing. The argument will not be finished
till Tuesday afternoon. District Attor-
ney Dyer stated to-day that immediate.
ly after the termination of the Babcock
trial he will tender his resignation. Dyer
claims that he has not been properly
erly sustained by the President and At.
torney General Pierrepont. It is now
generally agreed on both sides that the
result Of Babcock's case will depend en-
tirely upon the Judges instructions.

HAvERLEY's hINsIRELs AT THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE.
The performance by Haverley's Min
strels at the Grand Opera House, Satur-
day evening, was all that could be desr-
ed by the most ardent admirer of min
strelsy. From the overture to the final
farce the performance was one grand sue
cess, and the large audience present was
kept in constant storm of laughter and
applause. The overture was new and
original, devoid of all gags" or worn
out jokes, while the solos and choruses
were superb in character and tone. The
end-men, Milt. Barlow and Geo. Wilson,
were funny beyond comparison and gave
the humorous portion Of the overture
due effect. The programme embraced
Cool Burgess, in his laughable negro
sketches, the California quartette, Bar
low, Wilson and French in their special
ties, and Primrose and West, the cham
pion cloggists and song and dance men.
On the whole, the performance was the
finest OF the character ever given in this
city.
THE WASHINGTON BALL.
The Washington ball will! come off at
the Grand Opera House, tomorrow night,
and it is only necessary to say at this
time, that every effort has been put
forth to make it the grandest ball ever
given in this city. All who can should
go.

Adviser" ETC.. etc.
Rowing that you are subject to great
amount OF suffering, that delicacy on
your part has q strong tendency to pro-
long it, and the longer it is neglected the
more you have to endure and the more
difficult Of cure your case becomes, l, as
a physician, who am daily consulted by
scores of your sex, desire to say to you,
that am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments
for months without being benefited in
the least, until they have become per-.
fectly discouraged and have almost made
up their mind never to take another dose
of medicine, or be tortured by any far
ther treatment. They had rather die
and have their sufferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. They say
they are worn out by suffering, and are
only made worse by treatment. OF any
thing more discouraging, we certainly
cannot conceive, and were there no more
successful mode of treating such difficult
ties than that, the principles of which
teach the reducing and depicting OF the
vital forces of the system, when the indi-
cations dictate a treatment directly the
reverse of the one adopted for them,
their case would be deplorable indeed.
But, lady sufferers, there is q better and
far more successful plan of treatment
| for you one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system.
A harsh, irritating caustic treatment and
strong medicines will never cure you. If
you would use rational means, such as
| commoh-sense should dictate to every
intelligent lady, take such medicines as
embody the very best invigorating ton
les and nervines, compounded with
special reference to your delicate system.
Such a happy combination you will find
in my Favorite Prescription, which has
received the highest praise from thous-
ands of your sex. Those languid, tire
some sensations, causing you to feel
scarcely able to be on your feet or ascend
fight Of stairs; that continual drain
that is sapping from your system all youi
former elasticity, and driving the bloom
from your cheeks that continual strain
upon your vital forces that renders you
irritable and fretful-may all be over
come and subdued by a persevering use
of that marvellous remedy. Irregular
ties and distinctions to the proper work
ing Of your system are relieved by thii
mild and safe means, while periodical
pains, the existence of which is a sure
indication of serious disease that SHOULD
not be neglected, readily yield to it, anG
. if its use be kept up for o reasonable
length of time, the special cause of thes
pains is permanently removed. Furthe
: light on these subjects may be obtaine'
from ''The Peoples Common Sense Medi
cal Adviser" in which have devoted

RAILROAD STATION BURNED. -
About ten o'clock last Friday night,
the station house at Principle, on the
p, w. & b. r. r., about thirty miles
below this city, was entirely destroyed
by fire, everything but the stone work
being burned. The station house was
q very fine building, being superior in
construction and finish to most of the
stations along the road. 1t was recent
ly built in this city, and had not been
put in position a great while. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed to be the work of incendi-
ary tramps. The loss will reach from
$4,000 to S2500.

Gigantic Evils and Corruption OF the
Present Administration Denounecd.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10,-The court in
the Baocock case opened ut ten o.
clock this morning. Hon. James
Broadhead, special counsel for the
government, began the first of the four
closing arguments.
The speaker explained a conspiracy.
and then reviewed the history of the
whiskey ring operations.
In st. Louis all the dispatches put
in evidence by the prosecution were
claimed to show not only Babcock's
knowledge of the existence of the
conspiracy, but also that he naturally
assisted the ring by important infor-
nation concerning tho transfer Of su.
pervisors. The speaker said that iE
the kilograms rescinding the order the
President stepped out of his sphere, and
that Presidential interference was o I
doubtful authority under the Consti-
tuition. The President and Mr.. Sutton
gave insufficient reasons for their con-
duct in the matter.
The testimony of McGill, the fast
witness for the defence, who testified
to taking those letters out of the box
and returning them to Joyce, was
manufactured for the occasion, Nc
Gill being drilled to his work. The
correspondence of Rabcock with Nc
Donald under cover was spoken of as
one of the many things which had not
been explained.
In conclusion, he said that the cor
ruption which had been nestled in the
f'Eesidential mansion should be crushed
out By the jury.
Mr.. Broadhead spoke little over
two hours, and. at 1916, the court
took recess til 2.30 p, m. Shortly be-
fore the court was out Judge knight
and Wickham, of st. Louis, entered
the room and took seats with the pre-
siding judge.
AT four o'clock the court adjourned
until Monday. The case will probably
so to the jury on Wednesday.

will probably be their last effort will
spare no expense to make it the grand

city. Many distinguished visitors
from this and other States will be pres

tee that all will enjoy themselves as
they never did before. There are a
few more tickets yet for sale, (the linn
it being nearly cxhausted) and those
wishing to avail themselves of an op.
portunity to be present had better pro-
cure their tickets at once, aud don't
forget that each lady receives the
handsomest program ever seen in
Whining ton, and also has chance to
receive fine plain gold ring which
will be placed in one of the programs.
From what is already known Of the

Of admission.
A new feature has just been added

form Of the new hall perfumery which
