VERY POOR DEPENDENCE,

The desperation of Democracy is never
more clearly shown than when, deprived
of the power to infict mischief them.
selves, they resort to other and foreign
agencies to effect their wishes. They
have had telegraphic assurance from
Indiana or Ohio that there was half a
million of men ready to demand spoils OF
blood. We have had threats that s'tha
North" would no more submit to the cleo
ton of Hayes than the South did to that
of Lincoln, but one after the other of
these ferocious allies seems to have
thought better of it, and the local De-
mocracy have been compelled to rely
upon other and less formidable agencies.
We are amused at one Of these allies.
The New York Herald has, it seems,
taken the field for impeaching the Presi-
dent. This model of enterprise has q
very poor reputation for standing by any
man or maxim beyond the point of
its own profit or its own peril. His
tory says its founder was kicked
and cudgeled into notoriety, and
so disguised by the refusal of the Dem
ocratic party to pay for his services
that he went into the independence of
blackmailing both parties. Up to the
declaration of secession the Herald was
classed as Southern Democratic paper.
There was even some fear that mob vio-
lence might have been visited upon its
property, when it suddenly luffed up into
the popular wind and stood for the
Union, the suppression of the rebellion
and the recapture of its Democratic
patrons. There are other subordinate
instances Of abandoning the item grab
bers, whom it styles commissioners"
when they have fallen under the displeas-
ure of foreign authorities. If, therefore,
the Last Ditchers expect the New York
Herald to be inferred with them in the
political crevasse which is yawning for
them, they are mistaken. 1t will accom-
pany them to the point of sepul-
ture, report their last dying speech
and confession, offer a woodcut of
the scene, and thus turn to illus
trate and applaud the Republican inau-
guration with an edition of extra thou
sands at reduced price. The New York
Herald is by no means calculated for
martyrdom in any cause. It is wholly
Indifferent to form of government and as
its proprietor spends most of his time
under monarchical and established forms
of government, we may suppose that an
empire would be as acceptable to his
journal as the most Democratic govern
ment. We would advise the Southern
Democracy, as they value wife, children
and property, not to commit themselves
to insurrection upon the encouragement
of an ally who may be but naouchard or
pretended friend seeking to obtain some
confidential admission by which the pre-
tender can make his own peace or fortune
by turning states evidence against the
unlucky dupes who may have trusted

issued BY this club, and sacredly to observe
tho rights Of Life and property OF every
member Of this club, and to extend to each
and every member cordial approval and
protection.
The Democrats who entertained Pro-
lessor Sumner made him believe there
had been no intimidation or lawlessnes
in the Felicianas, and yet here are Demo-
cratic resolutions year old praying that
thegood shotgun gentlemen will not fire
in the direction of certain persons; that
they will not visit plantations at night as
armed bodies, and that they will SO far
observe the rights of citizens to live as to
desist from shooting any man who holds
q certificate or life-ticket from the club.
To some men life is precious boon, and
when Feliciana club would give colored
men certificate and privilege of iv-
ing in exchange for q pledge to
vote the Democratic ticket, it is not
strange that few colored citizens &C.
cepted the situation, and became live
Democrats in preference to being dead
Republicans. The lawlessness and vio-
lent measures, however, did not cease un-
til the day of election. By that time one
of the Feliciana parishes had been put
under such perfect discipline that only
one Republican vote was polled. All was
quiet on election day-so still, as Mr..
Ward would say, that pin could have
dropped. And what is more, two weeks
later, in the dining room of the st.
Charles Hotel, with General Sheridan in
the city. Professor Sumner heard of no
hostility to negro suffrage.

This is fast age. The fact was ex-
emplllied the other day on an open Car
of the Gates avenue line, Brooklyn.
Three young women of respectable ap-
pearance took possession OF one of the
rear seats usually reserved Tor smokers.
When the car started each drew from
her pocket cigar. obtained light, and
proceeded to smoke with the utmost
equanimity. Nothing else about their
conduct or speech was OF doubtful or
unusual import. They smoked all the
way to their destination, a distance OF
nearly three miles. In general it is a
sad sight when an American girl takes
lighted cigar between her teeth, even il
she does not make a mistake as TO which
eud goes in. But in tHSs Instance there
were no unpleasant results apparent.
The smokers rather seemed TO enjoy
themselves. OF course the other pas
sengers on the car made invidious re-
marks; but probably they were not
believers in Woman's progress.-lN. Y.

A MYSTERY OF INIoUITY.-The New
York Herald has been attempting to I'M
ravel the mystery surrounding the dis
missal OF Attorney General WILLIAMS
from Gen. Grants Cabinet, without the
assignment OF any cause, and with no
previous collision with the President or
any other official connected with The
Government known TO the public. Ii
will be remembered that, at the time
this event transpired, the public mind
was interested by reason Of the sudden
ness OF the dismissal, and much speou-
lation was INDUCED in as to the cause
But this interest soon subsidized.
The Herald now claims that it's inves.
legations lead up to very delicate situ-
alton as the immediate cause of the At
torney Generals dismissal from the
Uabinet. This was the sending of eer-
lain anonymous letters of shameful
character to various members of the
Cabinet, and one to the President. The
secret of their receipt having become
mutually known among the recipients
thereof, measures were privately taken
10 discover the author, or authoress, as
they seemed to bear the stamp of a fem
mime hand.
Much Time was consumed and detec
live sagaclty severely taxed to get a
the hidden author of those anonymous
scandals. The clue was finally obtained,
md led directly up TO the Attorney
Generals wife, Mrs. Williams. Hell
motive in this proceeded from a jealous
pique towards the wives of other men,
bers of the Cabinet in relation to certain
points of social etiquette, and written
in revenge for some supposed Sights
her husband had received. When it be-
came a settled assurance in the minds
Of those concerned, the Attorney Gen.
eral Was dismissed aad all social rela-
tions terminated. Such is substantially
the story as the Herald details it al
large. 1t shows that women may some.
ames mar, as well as make, their hus.
oand's fortunes.

The "Greenbackers" had pretty
lively Convention at Chicago yesterday.
Gen. Cary discoursed of financial right
eousness and Judgment to come for the
space of two full hours. About the only
significant matter in the proceedings
was the appointment of an exceedingly
numerous committee (twenty-fve) tor
the very light job of interrogating both
Hayes and Tilden as to what they would
respectively do, as President, in case
Congress should pass a bill remonetizing
our silver coinage, whether would they
sign or veto it. This will probably call
for more "letters of acceptance" and
possibly new platform plank. But the
probability is that, no matter how the
two Presidential candidates may answer
this question, it will make no difference
to the Cooper-Cary party. 1t may fur
nish them with some fixed ammunition
but it will not spike single gun in thei
battery.

"DARN FLYr-One of the plaques
visited upon Egypt we can thoroughly
understand. IL was flies. The busy,
curious, thirsty fly, may be very nice in
poetry, but in tue bedroom at sunrise
ne is simply disgusting. Snoo him, and
he don't stay shooed; hit him and he is
not there; trap HIM and you don't get
him. He is an omnipresent torment; a
pestilent little demon to be aespised
and execrated, but not caught. Open
just creVlce to get breath Of air, and
IN he comes with his whole tribe; eX-
pand the mosquito netting, and he,
like u sneak burglar, will be hidden i'll
The inner folds; tempt him with fly pa
per and he prefers your bare cuLicle;
strike at him, and you hurt yourself,
while he buzzes off with mocking
laugh. A mosquito is a gentleman in
comparison wl.u a fly. The mosquito
warns you Of the coming bite; the snea a.
ing fly does not. The mosquito drinks
his I'LL, and goes off like accent fellow,
but the beastIy lily insists upon drown
ing himself in your tea or Wading to his
doom in your butter. With hearty unc-
ton we agree with Josh Billings; ''Darn
