and Mr.. Hendricks must have stood
with the one or the other; and it
argues very badly for both that not
one single act during that period can
be satisfactorily pointed to, identify
ing them as patriots. Long and Ia
bored speeches and newspaper arti-
cles have been deemed necessary by
the Democratic leaders i'm order to
explain away utterances which at the
time were held to be incompatible
with patriotic sentiments and designs,
and these vindications have fallen
upon incredulous ears.
The evidences of general revival
of business multiply upon every hand.
A buoyancy of feeling is reported in
business circles to which they have
been strangers since the panic of 1873.
Mills that have been idle for months
have recently started up and are run
ming on full time. Operators, in some
instances, are reported to have volun-
tarily increased the wages of their
employees, increased prices Of their
products justifying the advance. The
tumble in coal has given a gratifying
impetus to manufacturing business of
all kinds, and has been an immense
relief to railroads. Crops are more
abundant than for years; aud the
thousands of intelligent business men
visiting Washington every week from
East, West and South all bear wit
ness to the improvement noticed in
their sections of the country.
Secretary Morrill, is receiving the
Communications of intelligent men for
his eminently satisfactory admins
tration of the Treasury Department.
His success with the new loan, it is
claimed, vindicates the high estimate
of his abilities by the President; and
he has apparently won the confidence
of the country during the few weeks
of his incumbency.

dismay in certain circles; but it is

A Second Democratic Blunder.


A Saratoga letter in the Chicago
Tribune says: 's''1
The Democratic State Convention
reassenbled at noon to-day to try and
retrieve the fatal blunder made two
weeks ago. Fatal blunder is what
the Republicans say. A prominent
Democrat used other words. One of
them said, this morning before the
session that he knew the convention
was going to make its own funeral.
"Tilden," said he, 4" wants Robinson /;
and that gives both first and second
place ON our State ticket to men who
have come over to MS from the Re-
publican ranks. 1t is virtually an
admission that regular, lifelong
Democrat hasn't the ability or honesty
to be elected, so that even renegade
is looked upon as o more promising
man. l am frank to confess that,
born and bred Democrat, L can
hardly stomach Uncle Sammy, aud
believe him to be gone up higher
than a kite"
There was evidently feeling of
depression among the major part OF
the delegates, and they behaved
themselves better in consequence,
though there were a few outbursts
when any one attempted to say what
any one else did not want to hear.
The members had become convinced
that second mistake must not be
i l,..s.1x,, nh fne nf
Robinson had done their work SO
thoroughly that the conventions
mind was premade. Tho informal
ballot showed this, and made the ses-
sion short. The only marked feature
was John Kelly's bid for renewed in
tiuence when he resigned his position
as elector- at-large in favor of Sey-
mour. Kelly saw that he had lost
much by his speech about Liberals
at the first convention, and was ready
to do any thing to regain his ground.
1t was noteworthy, however, that
while the convention readily accepted
his withdrawal it did not give him any
expression of renewed popularity. On
the contrary, General McQnade's mo-
tion to have Kelly appointed in Vests
place, in case West resigned, was
yelled down, and the convention
rushed towards adjournment.
Lucius Robinson was Wing, then
a Republican till 1864. when he went
ever to the Democrats, they giving
him an Office in return. Last year he
was elected Controller. His nomina-
ton will unite the Democracy as
much as they can be united, but does
not arouse enthusiasm at the bottom,
nor is there any thing that can save
Ohio and Indiana for Tilden.

of their skin :? So many practical
questions arise in contemplation of
the attitude of the two parties in this
campaign, that it is in no manner sur
prising that hundreds of whites, re-
membering Bourbon blundeIs, and
calmly judging of the present crisis
impartially, should declare their in-
tention to vote as their conscience
may dictate, and for the best candi-
dates put before them. Republicans
do not fear this class, but challenge
them to an examination of their rec
ord, knowing that a thinking and
reading people, free from bigotry,
must discard the vagaries of the Sec
tional Democracy of the present day,
as not only prejudicial to the material,
but the general welfare of the whole
country, and of themselves especially.

Here is what the New York Herald
has to say upon the glorious results
of the Maine election:
In spite of the hopes and predic-
tions Of Democratic prophets it now
turns out that
Main went
He'll bent
for the Republicans. Every congress-
ional district and every county in tho
State, from preseutappearances, gave
Governor Conner majority. The
Republicans have gained everywhere,
and the victory is q sweeping one,
which there was every reason to ex-
pect, and it shows not only the ardor
with which tlle Republicans are enter
ing into this campaign, but that tho
party is still intact. AT no time since
1860 has Maine done better for the
Republican party, and the achieve
ment of yesterday virtually decides
the Presidential contest. The desire
for change npon which the Democrats
depended for success, evidently has
not taken possession OF the Republic
an majority, and so noislessly has this
victory been won that Gov. Tilden's
still hunt" is apparent only on the
part of his enemies. Following so
closely the Saratoga blunder and the
result IN Vermont the Maine election
can not fail thoroughly to dishearten
the Democracy, making indiana as
| cert,,iit for Hayes as OfIit, aud Pauu-
sylyapia.

Fire b Morning.

AT hslfpast seven this morning a FIRE
was discovered in the photograph rooms
Of Mr.. Ogden, No. 282 Main street over
the grocery house Of Oliver, FirG &
Co. The FIRE was caused by sparks Nv
ing from the Aue Of the stove in the
store OF Oliver. Finnie & Co. The
sparks entered a window used by Mr..
Ogden, who had therein q solar camera,
surrounded by a black curtain and ueces.
ssry frame work. The solar camera,
valued at about $3.50, was badly dam
aged; in fact, almost destroyed. The

promptly, but the ere was suppressed in

Arithmetic.

In Lady Woods new novel, Below
the Salt" one Of the characters gives q
definition of arithmetic that will be quite
acceptable to u young lady readers.
Edgar is speaking to Pleasance:
Now / kiss you three times on one
cheek, and four times on your mouth.
How many did that make altogether"
Seven" said the girl, disengaging
herself to breathe more freely.
THAT is arithmetic" said the youth,
triumphantly.
Dear me" said Pleasance, II should
not have thought it,"
Captain Marryat, in his novel o fSnarle.
VOW, makes n Of his characters sing q
song carrying the same agreeable con-
ceit:
Then Harry said. "As time is short,
Addition yeu must FIRST be taught:
Sum up these kisses sweet,
Now prove your sum by kissing me.
Yes, that was right; twas three times three
Arithmetic's a treat.
And, now, there is another term,
Subtraction, you have yet to learn;
Take four away from these.
les, that was right you've made 1t out"
Says Merry, with a pretty pout,
Subtraction don't me please"
Division and multiplication are taught
in the same pleasant way, and the song
ends with:
And o We must leave of, my dear;
The other rules are not 80 clear;
Wen try at them to night"

MEMPHIS THEATER. The rainy and
bad weather last. night no doubt pre-
vented numbers Of people from attending
the theater in order to witness Miss
Maggie Mitchell in that very charming
drama entitled Little Barefoot. AS il
was, however, the audience was thin, be-
cause it required no little nerve TO leave
home and brave the elements. The play
was well presented SO far as the leading
roles are concerned. Several of the
minor roles were poorly portrayed, but
as no person goes to a thsater to see the
performance Of a stock company these
minor details and failures cut no partic.
ular figure, except that it adds no little to
the attractiveness Of the star to be well
supported. Tonight Miss Mitchell will
appear as the Pearl Of Savoy. one of her
most attractive roles.
KNIGHTS OF ~IENIsFAIL. Tomorrow

that nothing will be left undone neces.
sary to a complete success. See the adj
