Political.

The New Orleans Times dem. strikes
the keynote of southern prosperity when
it says; "The young south, whose motto
is cup with the school. house and down with
the revolver" will bend its energies to pro-
viding every child with at least the rudi-
ments of an education, so that 1t will be as
well equipped for the battle of life as if 1t
had been born in the center of New Eng
land"
In his speech Saturday Gen. Garfield adj
vocated service reform, fret in regard TO
the tenure OF cffice, which should depend
upon the faithful discharge of duty sec
ond, in freeing the appointing power from
congressional control. The president
should be supported in his efforts in this
direction, though he may have gone too
far in depIiving citizens who hold Office of
participation in nominating conventions
within their own precincts.
In an editorial on the remarks Of Post
master General Key in Vermont, the
Louisville Courier journal (Dem.) says
that the secession movement was mistake
and "truism that any idiot ought to COM
prehend," and adds:
"Four years of disastrous war and twelve
years of disastrous peace, hundreds of
thousands of widows and orphans, the loss
hundreds of millions of property, together
with a national debt for which the south is
equally bound with the north, confirms the
dreadful truth that the fight was ill-chosen,
| ill-timed, ill-made, and blended. So much
we have often said. So much sensible men
everywhere in the south would think II
childish to deny. But this does not STOP
the mouth of two or three newspapers
which hope TO establish some character fol
consistency and fidelity by mere rampan
tism."
Fancy Mr.. Tilden writing letter con
tanning the sentiment of the following ex
tract from q letter written by Thomas
Jefferson under the date of January 10

had II votes for president to 6s tor Mr.
Jefferson, and the change of the vote Of

During heavy thunder storm at Derby
Line on Sunday the house of A. P. Ball
was struck by lightning, which demolished
the chimney, passing into the cellar and
out the window, doing no further damage.
This is the third time these premises have
been struck by lightning.
During severe thunder storm on Satur-
day afternoon, lightning struck the house
and barn belonging to John P. Fields in
Weathersfeld, consuming nearly all of its
contents, consisting of a valuable horse,
farming tools and ten tons of hay. Loss

" there is still no reason shown why either
"party to the compact of the electoral
" commission should refuse TO abide by
" the decision to which both parties had,
" in advance of the announcement of the
" decision, solemnly submitted" And 80,
according to the Ham test, the World has
ceased TO be an exponent of democratic
opinion.
Apply the test where you will, and it will
be found that the democratic party is
growing small by degrees and beautifully
less. 1t has taken long farewell of its
wisest and brightest men. The masses do
not respond to the cry. They won vic
tory, in 1929, by shouting "bargain and
corruption" when there was not the least
smell of corruption or the slightest sus-
picion of bargain, and the sensible men
of the old party know that the people can
not be deceived more than once by false
and silly "battle cry" and so, according to
Hams test, have left the party, and, like
sensible men, will soon be found among
the ardent supporters of President Hayes-

left to fight overP

Blaine's state begins to cave. He could
prevent the utate convention from endors-
ing the policy of the administration, but he
cannot control the county conventions
when the delegates come fresh from the
people and are selected under the opera
ton of the circular to office holders. Thus
the Lincoln county convention, Saturday,
adopted the following resolution "Re-
" Solced, That our confidence 10 the integ-
rily, patriotism and craftsmanship of
Rutherford B. Hayes remains mistaken,
4" and that we heartily approve of his eff
forts for the promotion of the harmony
" and peace Of the country, and economy
" ard faithfulness in every department of
I" the government" And other county
conventions are adopting resolutions of the
same import. Tho appeal of the president
for restoration of the Union, equality of
all the states, and equal rights TO all, coup
led with acts tending to that end, cannot
be withstood. The people are with him !;
the politicians must succumb.

Samuel j. Field, Judge of the United
States supreme court, is a good deal like
his brother, David Dudley Field man of
decided ability, interruptions, cunning, I'M
demanded, and, when he cannot rule, en-
deavoIing to ruin. He has been inter-
viewed relative to Judge Bradley's opinion
in the Florida electoral case, and denying
that Judge Bradley ''read' bis opinion to
him, placing wicked emphasis on the
word "red0," hypocritically regretting that
his name should be used and deprecatlng
any controversy which might disturb his
social relations" with Judge Brady, re-
fused to answer further because, as he
urged, 'the members of the commission are
bound to respect secrecy of delibera-
tons That Judge Field is endeavoring
to break down Judge Bradley's reputation
is evident. Whatever there is of the story
must, from the very nature of things, have
come from Field his pretences are all
hypocrtical and evasive; if the story,iS false
in substance, he has only to say 80 if
there is any Foundation for it, his prompt
charge could do no more harm or disturb
his "social relations" to any greater extent
than his dirty insinuations and, more
over, the members of the commission arc
not bound TO respect the secrecy of their
deliberations, as one of tho last acts OF the
commission was to remove the seal of Sc.
creoy, and much of the talk of the mem,
beers during deliberations has been pub.
lished by authority of the commission and
of congress.

Dear Sir-It gives mo very great pleas
ure to inform you of the benefit received
from the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP in my
own family. My wife, for the past ten
years, has been in feeble health-very
much deblhtated generally. Last spring
she concluded to try bottle of PERUVIAN
SYRUP, and was 30 well pleased with the
result continued its use until three or four
bottles had been used, and she is now in
better health than at any time for 10 years,
and has increased in weight from 40
pounds TO 1861. have employed physi-
clans, aud used great variety of patent
medicines, to the extent Of hundreds of
dollars, and know she received more ben
eft from the PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together.
My sales of the Syrup arc very large and
const ,ntly increasing. and do not hesi-
tate to recommend and even warrant 1t to
give satisfaction. II you desire, you are
at liberty to use this communication as you
see At, as II gives me pleasure TO recon-
mend 90 good an article to suffering hu-
manity. Yours truly,

We have been surfeited with extracts
from the fre-eating, bourbon element of
the southern press relative to Postmaster
General Keys little speech at Bennington,
where he spoke of the "erring southern
" bretheren," as indicative of the rebellious
and irTeconcilsble feeling still existing at
the south. How would it look If the south
should fill their papers with northern ex-
tracts about Hayes surrender to the
rebels" that Maine resolution declaring
that Hayes was "a traitor to his country,
his party and his God" and other SINH
lar tit bits of literature, as tending to show
that the north was still bitter and had no

vocate specie payments, the reconciliation
of silver, greenbscks, initiation or contrac-
ton, a protective tariff or free trade, re-

There is no democratic party in Ohio.
1t expired with a state convention, Thurs
day, July 81, 1877. To he sure, there was
q semblance of democracy about the con-
vention, for 1t had something to cay about
"fraud," and was very emphatic in eaying
that the democracy wouldn't stand the
Inauguration of another president who re-
ceived only a minority of the popular vote.
They did not say what they would do in
such an event. they left that to inference,
and we all knowswhat was done on the
Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, who
only received a minority of the popular
vote. But they didn't mean this Of course,
and seem now to be heartily ashamed OF
their little side talk about "fIaud." The
canvass, on their part, is being conducted
without the slightest reference to any such
silly issue. Pendeton and Ewing and the
other heavy weights and light weights Of
the party have resurrected the old "rag
"baby, brought it to the re,and are agair
rehearsing the thrice told tale of th'
"bloated bondholder" and the poor people
crying for greenbacks, hoping to delud'
the sensiblc voters thereby. Utterly re
gardless of Ham they have lowered tn,
banner of "fraud" and are fighting unde
that of Initiation and epudiation-both O

SNAKES.

1t is said that the blacksnake is an
inVeterate enemy of the rattlesnake,
aud that, in their encounters, it gener-
ally leaves the field victorious. An eye
witness of one OF their combats fur
nishes the following incident in Forest
ana Stream: "In The middle Of the road
lay an ordinary blacksnake, and quite
large rattlesnake, eyeing one another
tercely-bOth ready for an attack. The
party stood motionless to see the battle
take place; but he waited long, and still
the combatants did not move. At
length, tired of watching, he slightly
shook the bar OF the fence, which caused
the rattlesnake to look from its oppo-
nent to himself. Instantly the back
snake sprang on the other, twisted it,
self tightly around its neck, and then
it's body, and glided off, and there lay
the rattlesnake, dead. The victim, we
all know, was a powerful foe; The victor
as harmless a snake as there is i'll the
land"
A writer in Nature mentions an Incl
dent in the history OF snakes, which may
be appropriately repeated here. He
says: 81 do not know whether the fact
has been observed before, that one ven-
omous snake will devour another be-
longing to even the same genus. Some
time ago captured, on the Quadaloure
River, large and very thick ARclStrOd0n
pugnac { Water M0ccasin), one OF tue
NrotAlide, and, upon opening it, found
inside a large and quite wet-p"eserVed
