TiIslen at Home.

Mr.. TILDEN has returned, after brief
survey of some parts OF the Old World it is
10 be hoped better if not wiser man. On
reaching his home he became the victim of
. serenade from the unwashed Of his politi-
cal friends and they in return became the
victims of one Of his Characteristic speeches.
On that score we think that honors are
essy-bOth got their labor for their pains,
and nobody was hurt or benefited by the
performance.
The Associated Press very thoughtfully
forgot to send us a copy of the speech of
Saturday night, and hence we were not
called upon to afiiict the readers OF the Ma
gIoNAL REPUBLICAN with Il pcrusal of it
In eHsRso. The houOring OF the great de-
feated upon this occasion was not by Tam
many Hall or the Manhattan Club, but by
the ag-tag and bOb-tail Of the Democratic
party, who are not now engaged in the deep
designs of Tammany for capturing the city
of New York on the first Tuesday in No
yember. Tammany WAS engaged, and
hence could not honor him. The Manhat-

WAsHEE-WAsHEE has commenced to trouble
the people of the British colony of Queensland,
in Australia. There are 10000 John Cinnamon
and 100000 Europeans there, and the contin-
ual squabbles and antagonisms are becoming
unbearablc. The colonial government has
imposed fine of $50 on every Chinaman
landed in the country, and heavy taxes on all
those who are already there. 1t seems to be
the same juggling question wherever John
settles whether to go for him as BILL NyE
went for An SIN, or to treat him like other
useful citizen.

ARE we to have the truth at last In refer
ence to the manner in which the NICHOLS
government was established at New Orleans?
Gov. KELLOGG and his friends have asked the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections
to inquire into several things connected with
the organization of the NICHOLS Legislature
and the installment and continuance in power
of the NICHOLS executive. 1t is asserted
that some $4,000 was used to buy members
of the PACKARD Legislature to go over to the
NICHOLS side and compose quorum. This,
it is asserted, was paid in the way of per diem
and mileage. 1t will be remembered that a
party by the name of JOHNSON was one of the
Legislators who pathetically remarked at the
fusion of the Legislatures that all he wanted
was to be allowed to draw his mileage and go
home The bribery was done, II Is said, by
way of mileage Did JOHNSON know this?
Let the committee bring the whole matter to
light and once aud forever settle this Louis
lana muddle, strike when and where 1t may.

An Appeal for McrcY.

Charles Reade, in II letter that has just ap-
pearcd In the London Telegraph, makes II vehement
appeal for mercy for the two men and two women
who were recently convicted at rcnge, England,
OF starving to death Elizabeth staunton. He says
that while jury eighty'teven years ago declared
man guilty Of starving boy To death through
criminal omission" to give him food there Is no
precedent Of as many as four persons being found
guilty Of such neglect Of duty and lie asks
docs this case, looked into and understood sup.
port the new theory Of criminal responsibility, il.
definitely divisibe, without dminutiOu of guilt" "
Mr.. Reade also charges that illegal and improper

tan Club would not, and hence the serenade
went begging for such material as was
found floating among the scum of the party.
Now, the occasion and the speech are both
handled in very free and easy manner by
the metropolitan press, indicating little or
no respect on the part of any. Even the
World indulgcs quiet smile at the expense
of its great but. defeated leader, while the
Tribune, Times, and Herald indulge in broad
grins or outright pealsof laughter that rem
der the screnaje and the speech alike ridicu-
lous. Alas, poor TrLDES! None now are 50
poor as to do him reverence.

honorable and responsible position Of secrc-
tary ofthe Brazilian Legation. He returned
from that country last year, after a term of
service as secretary to tho Admiral of
tho American squadron on that station. For
number of years he held position in the
office of the Third Auditor Of the Treasury.
In every place he has acquitted himself in an
unexceptionable manner, and we are sure Mr.,
EDWARDS will reflect credit upon his country
by the courteous and efficient manner he will
perform the duties of Secretary Of Lcga-

ing tho many observers who were constantly
watching them. We can however, attach no blame
TO saturn, who has kept on his regular thirty years
journey with but little variation; but the erratiC
disposition of Mars has been plainly shown by his
actions for several mun nths pat. Both planets
were quietly pursuing their journeys from west to
east around the sun, until early In July, when the
apparent motion Of Mars began to diminish,
and on the 2Tth Of July the two planets
were In conjunction. Mars continued It's molten
with diminishing velocity little further toward
the east aud then stopped. AMER Il short rest
this planet began II rrtrOHrnde motion and again
passed Saturn, August IL, continuing It's course to
ward the west for several degrees. when II rested
for the second time II then took up its original
course from west to east, and has continued II
with increasing velocity that It's change of posi-
ton from one night 10 another can now be easily
detected. This rapid motion will, oil November .,
bring about the last conjunction, which will be
more interesting thIn either Of the Others from the
fact that the planets will be much each other
than we have before scen them.
Triple cOnjunctiOns between these planets are
quite rare, the last having occurred in l779 and the
next one will not take place until 1915. 1t tshoud
he bOrlc in mind that these cOnjunCtions are In
right ascension, and not necessarily In dCClination.
Al the time Of conjunction the two planets and the
pole Of the heavens are in the came straight line.

Our Rifle Team.

There is much satisfaction in recording the
fact that Washington can now claim to have
first-class rifle team The match between
the Washington and Baltimore teams, so fully
reported in our local columns at the time, has
been widely commented upon by the press
of the country. The Turf, Field and Farm of
the 26th instant says: MARKED improvement
in rifle shooting is becoming II general feature
throughout the country-not an isolation of
Creedmoor. The match between teams from
Washington and Baltimore, which was shot
out over Bcnnings range, on Thursday last,
produced display of skill second only to that
which characterized the United Kingdom and
American teams at Creedmoor. One gentle
man, after starting with 50 points at 500 yards,
improved his work with ~ points at each of
the succeeding ranges, securing final result
of 213 out of a possible 225. Three
other marksmen aggregated 207 points each !;
one made an even 200, and two others were
but one point behind him. With such mate
rial cropping to the surface, 1t will not be sur.
prising il Americans strike richer lead in
craftsmanship next year, one that will out
pan the American team Of 1877" This comes
from the best authority in the country when
speaking Of sporting matters. The editor fur
thcr says: THE shooting of the Washington
team at 800 yards Is the highest average
on record-72 points per man. The
Americans, in the recent international match,
made an average of ia at 800 yards on the
second days ,string-the highest average on
record at that time. Such scores as 2l3 2O7,
207 and 207 are almost phenomenal and de-
serving of more than passing notice"
