THEY DIDN'T FEEL WELL,

Party lines are closely drawn. Party
spirit is soaring high. Factions gaze at
each other and wonder what is to be.
Politicians on the losing side collect in
groups and vent their spleen and bitter
hate, and party scrimoniousness In hot de-
bate. Others, on the winning side, talk
biithely, and with hopeful faces smile and
say all is well, and many other things
which show the assurance felt In the ulti-
mate triumph Of their cause.
In Congress. where the political wisdom
is concentrated, there the political pulse
runs high and more rapid still as new de.
velopments are made which blast the hopes
OF one faction and brighten the prospects
OF the other, making some depressed and
others full Of gleesome mirth and strong
encouragement. The majority OF the
House was not very gay in spirits Satur.
day; rather was 1t cast down and
crammed with acrimony. The Democrats
exhibited the quintessence Of bitterness
and deep chagrin. The contagion seized
upon the Speaker, and he unbottled
quick his vial Of partiEan wrath and poured

far worse In mind, for his rabid ferceness
in his rulings was characterized by spas.
modic nervousness and an ever and anon
puckering OF the mouth. He was in every
sense Of the word bad of, and was deter.
mined to make the most of It. He took
occasion to insult the Senate's secretary by
keeping him standing with a message from
that body for nearly an hour before he would
condescend to recognize him. What he
could no, do by petulantly scolding he
completed by violently rapping, and thus
the day wore away with the heavy and
mournful burden of disappointment resting
on his suffering soul. There is no disguis.
iDgit The Democracy felt bad Saturday.
They felt as though hope had fled and
nothing remained except q necessity for
behaving themselves and acquiescing in
the result. 1t is the hardest thing they
have ever been called upon to do.

SMALLPOX,

The selfish, unreasoning terror felt by
many persons about small pox is far less
excussble now than 1t was hundred and
ffiy years ago, when neither inoculation
nor vaccination existed to palliate or
prevent the disease. Renewedvaccinatio
is an almost absolute safeguard. and peo-
pie who have this easy remedy at hand,
and who know that doctors and nurses,
armed with this preservative, live unai
fected In an atmosphere reeking with the
small pox virus, should be ashamed to in
dulge in these cowardiy alarms. "

Hon. FOSTER BLoDCETT, who has Just ar
rived from Georgia, and who is thoroughly
acquainted with the sentiments OF the people
OF his native State, declares that the masses
will accept, in good faith, the Inauguration of
HAYES and WHEELER, and that the capital
lists stand ready to invest in manufacturing
mining and other enterprises as soon as the
presidential question Is finally settled. Mr..
BLopeETT says that thoughtful Georgians re-
gard the election of Hon. D. H. HUI to the
