he is in earnest with his Southern
policy and civil service reform, he
has reason to be highly pleased for
both those measures will be certain
ly sustained by the Democratic par
ty, and as certainly opposed by a
powerful section of the Republican
party. The Blaine-Conkling section
of the Radical party will indulge in
a little snarling on the I-told-you-so
principle, and say that this is what
comes of going back on the estab-
lished principles of the party, which
is true it is also true that worse
would have come of sticking to them.
The Radical party was doomed in
any case, as the late Presidential
election demonstrated. Garfield and
Stanley Mathews may now become
friends again. They were divided
by their conflicting claims to the
vacant Ohio Senatorship, and, as it
is certain now that neither will get
it, they may burst into tears, rush
into each others arms and swear
eternal friendship-a fitting denoue-
ment to the political farce in which
they have been engaged for six
months.
Later-It is now certain that the
Democrats have both Houses of Leg
islature by large majority.

a WINTER CAMPAIGN.

1t seems to be quite settled that
no further active operations are to
be attempted in Bulgaria by the
Russians before winter; indeed the
state of the roads, passes, etc, rem
ders anything but inactive Occupa-
ton of their present lines impOssi-
bic. The question is whether they
can occupy them at all. Their only
communication with their base of
supply in ROumania is by the two
bridges at NicopOlis and Semnitza
across the Danube and these have
been already reported in Il danger
Gus condition. Prudence would I'M
dOubtedly dictate the withdrawal
of the Russian forces to the North
bank of the Danube, but this would
be so direct a confession of defeat.
that it would require more moral
courage than the Russian court is
master of to venture on it. The
sufferings OF both armies and the
nOn-combatants of the country Oc-
cupied by them will be incalculable.

of all, and let us repeat everywhere this
truth: The Monarchy is not possible: liz
would have for immediate or near conse-
quence, civil war. Let us, then, make the
Republic the honest, wise, conservative re-
pubic, which lis not impossible, for it began.
when the interested heirs of the destroyed
fnonarchies came 10 agitate 1t, and to cause
mad and criminal threats to reSound in our
ears. and you, electors cause these despisers
OF all truth to understand for the last time,
decisively, the following truths, which will
be the result of your vote:
The nation alone is sovereign. The Re
public is the form of government by means
OF which Its sovereignty is exerted. The
sovereignty Is exerted by an elective chief
OF the executive power, qualified President
of the Republic, and by means of two Cham
beTs, acting according to the forms prescribe
ed by the constitution. The elective chief Of
the executive power can only govern with
the concurrence of these two Chambers and
of the Ministers agreed upon by the major
1ty. The concurrence of a single Chamber
would not suffice, and the law or subsidies
voted by one alone would be absolutely null
and void. The tax not voted by the two
Chambers would not be recoverable, and an
attempt to collect ii would be an outrage
upon the fortune and liberty of the citizen.
between the powers and notably between
President and the elective Chamber, if that
Chamber is dissolved, executive power is
bound 10 conVoke a new one in the shortest
possible space of time. The prolongatiOn of
this delay beyond the indispensable term is
a violation of the spirit of the law; beyond
ninety days, it becomes violation of the
very text of the law, which should be con-
sidered as an outrage upon the constitution.

THIN-SKINNED.

Perhaps some of our readers will
remember that in last weeks paper
we announced the departure of Coils.
House and Bailey to Washington to
attend to their Congressional duties.
In doing so we INDUCED in little
harmless brag, too evidently iocsse,
we supposed, to excite the angry
passions of any one. But our con-
temporary of the Nashville Banner
takes it all seriously as a premedi-
tated attack upon the dignity of the
county containing the capital of
of the State. Well, the Banner
shall have the opportunity of blow
ing off its steam and we willnoteven
reply. We demur most decidedly
to the position that the article we
quote represents the feeling of the
Nashville people, for we have
lived among them and know that
no people on earth is reader to take
a joke and then retort with another:
A PoMPOUs LITTLE CITY.
The enclosed slip was found in the egotis-
tic GAINESVILLE Chronicle. 1 once lived in
in GAINESVILLE, and think reflect the
sentiments of the whole city of Nash
vile when l scorn the little article
above mentioned. Nashville is not self
ish, and has been more generous to neigh
bors than just to herself, particularly
when we know that Davidson county con-
tains so many who are the equals in legal
knowledge and political skill of any Clarks-
Villes fortunate sons. 1t is said that they
have formed a standardization society,
whose duty il is to ever advocate the claims
of its respective members for any diStingu-
ished Office of honor or emolument which
may occur. She has State Senator, a Chan
cellOr, a Congressman a United States Sena-
/ tor and two lightning candidates for the Gu
bernatorial chair. Proud little city. Car:
thdgO deIeadd est is written above your name,
and the county in which lies the capital of
your State will claim the honor of naming
at least one of our distinguished representa-
| tives in future elections.
The manner in which the members of
your political fraternity have played into
each others hands Is as amusing as the
were numerous. The fowl was carved and

OHIO ELECTION,

\ complete Democratic triumph
has been the result of the Ohio cleo
tions on Tuesday last. The Demo-
Gratis claim a majority on the State
ticket of $4,000 to 10000, and the
Republicans admit one of at least
$4,000, and it is believed that the
State Legislature will now give a
majority of from twenty to thirty
Democratic on joint ballot. This
will probably determine the repeal
of the resumption act and the rever-
sal of the financial policy of Mr..
Sherman, if it does not lead to the

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Secretary SchJrZ, it is stated, has under con-
sideration plan for the reorganization of the
pension service, by which he hopes to effect
great economy. The scheme contemplates the
consolidation of districts, the abolition of
more than half the present Offices, and re-
duction Of the fees.
Senator Edmunds expresses the opinion that
the extra session Of Congress will be very
long one, unless the leaders on both sides agree
to pass the Appropriation bills and adjourn.
The President contemplates Southern trip

this year.
The President has issued his proclamation
calling upon Congress to commence in extra
| session on Monday, the 18th of October.

| Department shows that the decrease Of the

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGS.

| The horrors of the Ashtabula bridge disaster
are again revived by the annual report of the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
Company. This report informs us that there
were 159 persons on the train, of whom SO we're
killed outright, died subsequently of their
injuries, and 60 were injured in various degrees
Of severity, while out of the entire 159 only
escaped uninjured. The report disclaims any

A terrible accident recently occurred on the
river Veillat, in Canada occasioned by land
slide of about an acre and half in length by
200 feet in depth, and a height of eighty feet.
A mill built on the banks of the river was COM

under the landslide. The landslide completely
blocked the river and changed it's course, caus-
ing great damage to farmers in the environs.
The bodies were scarcely recognizable owing to

There will be great rejoicing at the downfall
of the gigantic sewing machine monopoies
All attempts Of the sewing machine patentees
to secure combinations of their patents at
Washington have failed, and num-
Der of the most valuable of these
patents come to an end this month.
The sewing machine corporations have
worked faithfully for the prolongation of their
restrictive rights, but the renewal of the pa
tent of the last and one of the most important
inventions extant-the four-motion feed--has
been denied.
The boilers of the Anchor steamer ST.

The Captain, three engineers, two firemen and

bodies being terribly mangled and disfgured.
Ex-Mayor A. Oakley Hall, of New York, has
neither communicated with his family nor any
Of his friends since his departure from this
country. The family are well-to-do. Hall took
but little money away with him, so far as is
known, and will probably attempt to support
himself in London.

TdIGtion
New Paris.

At the end of this century there will
probably not be half a dozen buildings
left in Paris which are associated with
the history Of France before the rev
olution of 1889. The work of improv-
ing them off the face of the earth shows
no abatement, whether under the rule of
Louis Napoleon or of President Mac
Mahon. Dozens of interesting edifces
have fallen during the past year, and it is
now more than twenty years since Victor
Hugo burst into an eloquent lamentation
over the disappearance of the. Paris of
his Quarter Latin days One of the
most extraordinary circumstances about
Paris is that, large though it be, it does
not grow larger. It is to France infn-
itely more than London is to England,
and, besides, is the home of thousands
of foreigners from all parts of the
world, and yet it never gets near the
great city on the Thames in point of
population, or even in the extent of its
frst-class residentiary streets.
