McPhers0n's Opinion.

Edward Mcpherson. late Clerk of the
House, and one of the best informed poll.
ticians in the country, expressed himself
few days since as follows to Tribune re-
porter:
My Judgment is that the elections in Yer
mont and Maine will so fix the drift Of pub
lie sentiment that we shall carry both
Ohio and Indiana in October. In that event
the election of Governor Hayes would be
certain. In looking at the probable result,
do not examine the details OF neighbor.
hood politics, but measure the general in
1uences operating ON the public mind.
Many things combine to make me look upon
a Republican victory as practical assured
already. The chief indication is the sppre-
hension created throughout oil the old loyal
States by the evident purpose of the Dem
ocrats to make the Southern States q unit
in the canvass. The people of the North
aIe disposed to be liberal toward the lead
ers of opinion in the South, and to welcome
them back to participation in the govern
ment, but they have no idea of yielding the
government entirely up to their control. A
united South in league with strong party
in the North is q menace to the perpetuity
of the great results of the war, aud the
men who were on the ride of the Union in
that struggle look upon the spectacle with
alarm, and distrust the patriotism of the
party that has created such phenomenon
in politics. There are many indications of
what the fruits of Democratic victory
would be that are we'll calculated to excite
such diequieting feelings. The legislative
propositions made in Congress last
winter by the Southern members
were all in one directi0n-that of
fastening upon the treasury the payment
of enormous claims for losses, or pretended
losses, suffered during the rebellion. The
aggregate amount Of these claims is i'm.
mense, and yet it is but trifle to the great
volume that would pour in if the Democrats
once get complete control. These demands
are only sort of advance guard Of the
coming army, and they have been rushed in
to get on the files ahead of the press that is
to follow Tildens election. 1t was . great
misfortune to the Democrats that they got
possession of the House. They were obliged
to show their hande, and could no longer
stand by and assail the acts Of the majority
The presidency seemed ready to drop into
their grasp until they unmarked themselves
last session and showed their real character
and purposes.

Three Reasons Why Independents Can
Not Support Tilden.

vhfoo he00OnS why 1n0epeDOemt0 I00
Not Support Tildes.
l. Because his election would mean the
triumph of soft money. For months before
the nomination Governor Tilden had be-
gun to weaken on this point, to urge that
the currency question ought to be Kept in
the background, to insist that it was better
to get control of the government before
trying to settle the finances. By the time
he came to write his letter he had resolved
to go far enough to satisfy the inf1atiOnlsts.
He did satisfy them. General Thomas
Ewing, Jr., the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
the whole crazy crowd who shouted them
selves hoarse in denOuncing him before the
convention, and sulked in their tents after
ever since his letter was published. 1t he
surrenders to them now in advance, what
would he do az President, when they had .
clear majority in Congress?
9. The election of Tilden would mean the
utter defeat of civil service reform. He
and his party do not propose to turn out
the incOmpetente: they propose to turn out
everybody. Last winter they began
by turning out men who, under all ad-
ministrations and all parties, had been held
indispensable because of their lifelong
training for their work. They filed the
most delicate and responsible places with
incompetents, and the whole capital was
overrun with horde of ignorant Office
hunters, scrambling for the vacancies that
had been created by Wholesale. I'VE eau
NOT help it," said one of the most in
telligent and conscientious of the Demo-
cratic Congressman. these men, and
especially those from the South, are too
hungry. No party could resist them"
If such was the invasion provoked BY the
paltry patronage of the House of Repre-
sentstives, what would happen with the
whole patronage of the executive in their
hands2 Hayes would turn out the incom-
petents and the dishonest. Tilden would
turn out everybody, good and bad, would
make absolutely every Office in the United
States prize for present party service, and
would thus set back civil service reform q
quarter of century.
3 Tilden's triumph would mean the sec-
tional array of the solid South once more
against the controlling and better element
at the North. The country is not quite
prepared for that result Of the war. II
would be most injurious to the South itself,
and to the country at large it would Ger
tainly be perilous.-Ne,o York Tribune.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

DANIEL DERoNDA. By George Elliott. In
two volumes. Volume II. New York:
Harper & Brother. New Orleans: For
sale by r. G. Eyrich, No. 100 Canal street.
The second volume of the last and per.
hsps the best of the novels of George e.
lott has been received. There is hardly
possibility that this work will be as popular
as "Adam Bede," or much more than her
artistic "Romula." All her works are for
the few whose appreciation is permanent
fame. In Daniel Deronda" all the evil
dence of learning, breadth of thought, CO.
cial and moral interests that have made
George Elliott a master in the higher range
of fiction. are more than usually apparent.
The characters are minutely analyzed and
explained, the volumes are full of philo-
sophical speculstions, most of them sound
and attractive, but few unimportant and
seemingly unnecessary. But nearly every
page has some fortunate touch that the
studi0us reader fingers over with delight.
The hist cries of Guendalen Harleth and
Daniel Deronda are mingled, and their
moral force on each other are continually
shown until the end of the work when
the latter's separates entirely, and he
seems to cease to be wise and becomes q
victim of an impossible delusion. The indi-
viduality of the subordinate characters is
carefully maintained and nearly all are new
and agreeable acquaintance.
THE FIVE SENSES OF MAN. By julius
Berenstein. New York: D. Appleton &

This is the twenty-frst volume of the
International Scientific Series, which is
contributed to by the most eminent pro-
fessors in England, Germany, France and
the United States. 1t is entirely an Amer.
lean project, originated and organized by
DR.. E. L. Youmsns. The present volume
aims At popularity, but also to take the
reader . step beyond the ordinary popular
treatises. Commencing with an entertain
ing introduction, the reader lie easily led
through the illustrated pages ON touch,
sight, hearing, taste and smell. The greater
portion of the work is devoted to sight and
hearing, and the subjects are go elaborated
and illustrated that few readers will con.
slider it necessary to consult the more pom.

HISTORY PRIMERS. Edited by j. K Greene.
History OF Europe. By Edward A. Free
man, D. C. L., LII. D. New York: d.

This is one Of series of reprints of an
English series. 1t is divided into thirteen
chapters, each representing an epoch, and
all principal events grouped and condensed

of Napoleon occupies but one page. A short
summary of results closes each chapter
and the work is illustrated with six maps.

The Knickerbocker, now in port from
New York, brought out full cargo of mer-
chandise under deck, beside having her
staterooms filed.
The Morgan City had every available
space filled and left quite large amount
of cargo on the wharf in New York. This
augurs we'll for the coastwise trade.
One week ago to-day the ship Melrose.
from New York for this port, was spoken
some 800 miles from the bar. Her nom
arrival shows the difficulties encountered
by sailing shipmasters at sea in moderate
weather, this ship having made less than
two miles an hour toward her port of des-
tination in seven days.
On shjpboard and along the levee yester-
day morning every one ives in high glee
owing to the agreeable change in the
weather During the night the captains
turned the stewards ont for blankets, and
monkey Jackets that had been lain away
for months were brought into requisition.
One two hundred and twenty five pound

these acts more terrible was that many of
them were committed in the presence of
the weeping relatives-wife, mother, broth
ers, sisters Of victims. And they were re
peated by the hundred. But it was not only
old and young men who suffered; women,
young girls, children, infants, were ruth
lessly Slaughtered. These Turks, these
strong, bearded men, picked infants up out
of their cradles with their bsyonets, tossed
them in the air, caught them again and
flung them at the heads of the shrieking
mothers. They carried little babes about
the streets on the points of their bayOnets,
with their poor little heads and arms dYOOp-
ing around the barrels Of their guns, and
the blood streaming down over their hands.
Tney cut off the heads of children, and
compelled other children to carry the still
bleeding heads about in their arms.
Not woman in the place seems to have
escaped outrage. They all confess it openly.
In other places where these things occurred
the women have shown Q hesitation to
speak. Here, however, they did not hesi-
tate to speak out. Outrages were committed
so publicly, go generally, that they feel it
would be useless to try to hide their shame,
and they svow it openly. These acts were
committed not only in the houses, but in the
streets. IN the yards, in the courts.
The crimes that were committed here are
beyond the reach Of exaggeration. There
were stories related US that are maddening
in their atrocity, that cause the heart to
swell in q burst of impotent rage that can
find vent only in plying, useless tears

pairing, in mere sport, to kill the poor old
man, and she sprang forward with shrek,
