SINCE the commencement of the
government under the constitution,
we have had eighteen Presidents. OF
these George Washington, John
Adams, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore
and Andrew Johnsbn, are Said to have
been Independent in politics, al,
though it is we'll known that the last
mentioned was elected by the Repub-
lican party. as Vice President, and sue
ceeded to the Presidency after the as
sassination of Abraham Lincoln, and
that Millard Fillmore was elected by
the Wings with Zachary Taylor.
Thomas Jefferson, james Madison,
James Monroe, Andrew Jackson,
Martin Van Buren, James X. Polk
Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan
were Democrats. John. Quincy Adams
w. H. Harrison and Zachary Taylor
were Wings, and Abraham Lincoln
and General Grant Republicans. Ac-
cording to this classification we have
had five independent, eight Demo-
cratic. three Wings, and two Republi-
can Presidents But professedly John
Tyler and Millard Fillmore were
Wings, and Andrew johnson was a
Republican; they however, did not CO.
operate with the parties that elected
them Vice Presidents, when they ac-
ceded to the Presidency.
The Independents" have had con-
troll of the government about twenty
three years; the Democrats about
forty-four; the Wings five and the Re-
publicans eleven. 1t is no wonder,
then, that the Democrats feel bad,
having been in power for nearly fifty
years out of the one hundred of the
nations existence, and yet have not
had any control of the national gov
ernment for a period of fifteen years.
1t need not be thought strange that
they have become ravenous. But
they Should keep up their courage, for
1t may be that by the time we enter
Upon the twentieth century of the
Christian era it may be deemed nee
cessary to maize some changes in the
political complexion of the admins
tration, and they may then be en-
titled to resume the reins Of power.
Indeed, we know nothing to prevent
them from assuming control of public
affairs at any time, except that they
are not able to command enough Of
votes to elect their candidates. .-Pitts-

Startling Phenomenon.

A Mount Sterling correspondent Of
the Co,uier-Jour'td1 writes: One of
the most singular and wonderful
phehbmena that have ever occurred
in the modern world, took place in
Bath county, on Mudlick creek, about
seventeen miles east of this place and
a short distance from Gill's Sulphur
Springs and near the house of NJ.
Crouch, about o'clock on the after
noon of Friday last, Mach 8. A
shower Of flesh fell from a clear sky,
covering space of one acre wide and
two acres long with little strips of
flesh from one inch to two inches
wide and from an inch to three inches
long, and half to three-fourths Of an
inch in thickness, From Friday till
Monday evening the flesh remained
on the ground, and hogs aud chick
ems picked it up ahd ate it. Hdnd-
reds of people visited the locality from
Friday till yesterday and were still
going. Your correspondent talked
with several reliable gentlemen who
had seen a number of persons who
had seen the strange sight, and
hundreds Of persons are willing to
make affidavit to the above facts.
The country for miles is filled with re-
ports of this wonder. The people of
the neighborhood approached the
flesh with a superstitious dfead, the
majority refusing to touch it. Mr.. H.
Gill of Mudick Spring, secured
number of pieces for examination and
chemical analysis, and if possible your
correspondent will secure a specimen
and send to Prof. J. Lawrence Smith.
will endeavor to get all the facts and
details and write YOU again

An associated press telegram says
that Senator Cameron Will offer an
amendment to the legislative bill,
when it comes up for action in the SELL
ate, reducing the salaries of congress-
men to the old rate of eight dollars per
day for the time actually employed.
A calculation reveals the fact that
about 81 566, $40 annually would be
saved by the restoration of eight dol
lars day and roast beef. The wisdom
of this proposition will be doubted.
Five thousand dollars q year looks
like large sum to pay congressman
and it is when the. want of character
and qualification of some of them are
considetsd; but the people can very
well afford to pay that sum for capable
and honest men: The compensation
should not be reduced to such d figure
that no one IN moderate circumstances
could afford to serve in the position,
and render it absolutely necessary to
choose only men of wealth to whom
the pay is of no consequence. The Of
flee should hot be sought for it's Pc
cuniary return, but it should seek the
best men in every instance and they
should be fifty paid for their services.
