Current Comment.

Itseems to be time to tell Patterson to take
resi- in his cheek.
Unanimous Democratic sentiment: "Don't
do ANYTHING to dull Republican quarrel"
Thirly-eight millions is a sizable subsidy to
start with. 1t will get the Treasury door
open.
The Copper Cent of our Grandmothers was
demonetized "surreptitiously'' too. More
infamy for the Wall ST. shark!
Patterson bewails the loss of good "work-
ing majority" in the South Carolina Legisla-
ture. And yet he found it expensive to
"work' it.
The Hon. S. S. Cox is said to be disgusted
with Craftsmanship so far that he contem-
plates lecture trip. This will be a decided
gain to the much afflicted lecture platform and
a not altogether lrreparable loss to the 'politi-
cal arena"
Some heartless person has accused the Hon.
Jere Black of being the author of Conover's
speech. Judge Black has burden enough to
carry in those Electoral Tribunal articles with
out putting this scarcely less onerous load
upon him.
IS. G. b." learned correspondent, writes
us that he would like to get the precise posi-
tion of the testimony of Iren@us on certain
theological point clearly before the public at
large; that he would like to do this through
the columns of the Press, for the reason that
''our religious papers are so limited in circu-
lation that they do not furnish good vehicles
for information" Now, this admission an
swers our correspondents question at once.
1t we published such matter, however good or
recondite in itself, our circulation would soon
be as limited as that alleged of our religious
brethren.-PhiIGdelphiG Press.

The Fall of Pleyna.

The report of the surrender of Plevna no
longer awaits confirmation, but comes from a
source that leaves no doubt Of its truth.
With the capture of this stronghold the war
would seem to be virtually at an end, for the
army of Osman Pasha was the largest and best
equipped and best disciplined force which
Turkey had in the field. Mehemet Ali's
troops are chiefly irregulars, good robbers but
bad soldiers, and Suleiman's division is not
strong enough to seriously oppose the Rus
sian march. BY the capture of Plevna and
its defenders hundred thousand Russian
soldiers are set free to attempt the reduction
of the fortresses of the Bulgarian quadilat
eral or force the range of the Balkans and
seize upon Adrianople. The Turks are
left in much the same plight as were the
French by the capture of Bazaine at Metz,
and it is not probable that they can bring an
army into the field sufficiently strong to beat
back the invaders. As after the surrender of
Metz the besieging troops took up their
march for Paris, so after the surrender of
Peyna the Russians will press on to Con-
stantinople. Bad roads and the wintry sea-
son may make the passage of the Balkans
impracticabe before spring, but other obsta-
ces there are none. The Turkish fortresses
can be masked and the Turkish armies easily
forced back.
1t is not improbable however that the war
will now come to an end. In view of their
sad plight and hopeless future the Turks will
be wise to sue for peace, and the neutral
powers will exert themselves to bring about
an immediate settlement. 1t is an opportune
moment for mediation. England will CT
course be thoroughly alarmed and urge upon
the Porte the acceptance OF almost any terms
to keep the Russians out of Roumelia. The
peace of Austria is SO menaced by continu-
ance of the war that she is eager to bring it
to close. Germany will readily give her
support to treaty which affords Russia
proper indemnity for losses while it does nol
unduly increase Russian power in Europe.
France will have nothing to say, while Italy
and Greece will support any plan that prom
ises to benefit them.
1t is idle now to speculate upon the terms
of peace. But this may be taken for granted I:
The virtual independence of Bulgaria and
Bosnia will be acknowledged, ,and Russia will
gain some territory in Asia and some freedom
in the Black Sea.

THE Cincinnati Commercial wants "a dol
lar with au eagle on it, whose right wing
shall fan Washington city, while his left waits
the dust along the streets of San Francisco,
and his tail spreading over Hudson bay, while
his beak is dredging the mud islands from the
stream between the jetties at South pass.'
That would be nice handy coin, just the
thing for pocket piece.

1t is .all very we'll at a large party to be
obliged to fall over five or six young people
flirting on the stairs, and to flush couples of
cooiug doves from each nook and corner, but
when some callow fedgliug in white tie and
clawhammer coat is found huttering around
a twittering buudle of tarlatan, fluffy hair and
artificial flowers in the smoking room, just
after supper, while two or three boxes of Hs-
vannas sand unbroken upon the table-then

WOMEN are best roasted-at any rate that
is the opinion of the cannibals, who told Paul
Du Chaiu that they preferred to eat women
of about sixteen to twenty-four years of age,
and that they always roasted that deicacy.
People over fifty are boiled. Hereabouts
there is weak prejudice in favor of taking
women raw.

"THE United States," says an Eoglish
paper, "are supplying cur warehouse-men
with shiploads of calico, good salabIe prints,

ers." That is only a beginning. We are
going to make of this country the workshop
OF the world, and England is to be our largest
customer. But we shall make no more fish
trades with her.

TENNESSEE people strongly object to the
proposition TO scale down their State debt to
sixty per cent. of its face-not because they
are honest, but because they think sixty per
cent. too much. Indeed, they resent the
proposition to pay even one per cent. and
talk vigorously about the money sharks OF
the East

THE debate in the House over the Mexi-
can border troubles was characterized by un-
usual good sense. Nearly every speaker de-
plored war and strongly deprecated any hos
tile incursions into Mexican territory. The
people do not desire war of plunder, and a
menacing attitude on the part of our authori-
ties will be sternly discouraged. The Texas
representatives were naturally in less con-
ciliatory mood than the other members of the
House,

TIE Postmaster-Generai has just decided
case of considerable interest to newspapers
and postmasters. The Cincinnati postmaster
had assumed that Weekly Gazettes sent out
from that city to postmasters in return for
services rendered the newspaper in keeping
up its posters &C., were not papers sent to
regular subscribers within the meaning of the
law, and that every paper so sent must be
prepaid at transient rates. The Postmaster
General has decided that the postmaster was
wrong, and holds that payment in services is
just as much bona fide subscription as pay
ment in money.

We don't know what there is about mantel-
piece that imparts confidence to the man trust
ing himself to it. But thers is, no doubt, o
certain degree Of inspiration ia it, for it is a
fact that the bashful man in social gathering
always sits, if possible, under the mantel. He
naturally gravitates to that place and is not at
rest until he reaches it. With the top of his
head pressed against the under side Of TIE
shelf he will sit for hours at time as inmov-
able as a mortgage, and apparently as deeply
interested in what is going on about him.

A SOUTHERN war claim has been pushed
through the House by majority of one.
The claim was for property seized by the
Union troops in New Orleans, and there was
not even pretense that the claimants were
loyal. This is the entering wedge. If the
Democrats get full control of the government
they will pay out millions from the Treasury
to these Southern beggars. Unless we want
to indemnify the South for the losses it suf-
fered by going into the rebellion we must take
care that the Democratic party does not come
into power. The first thing for us to do is to
regain possession of the House.

Representation on Mining Claims.

The holders Of mining locations
sh )uld bear in mind the recent de-
cision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office that certain
annual expenditure on all mining
claims is required by law. The first
annual expenditure upon claim 10.
Gated prior to May 10th, 1872, should
have been made by the first day of
January, 1875, and the second by
January 1st, 1876, and the first annual
expenditure upon claim located
since May 10th, 1872, should have
been or must he made within one
year from date of discovery. Too
little attention is paid to the require
ments of the law respecting the
representation of quartz claims, and,
as consequence, the change of title
BY relocation will soon become a
matter of common occurrence.
