GUSH.

From Cincinnati to GAINESVILLE we
are catching it because we declined
going into raptures about the Presi-
Dental visit to Nashville and Louis
vile. The Tobacco Leaf treats us
as sulky Democrat; the Cincin-
natl Times parades us as a suIky Re
publican. After all, westay exactly
where we were; that is, we approve
the Presidents policy, but we decline
to become a Republican on the
strength of that approval.
The President adopted the Demo-
cratic policy exactly when the time
came that no other policy would
go down with the people. Had
he said a word for the down.
trodden South when she was forbid
den to say a word for herself; had
he protested against despotic and
unconstitutional dealing with her
when his party was in undisputed
power, then no sufficient gratitude
could have been rendered to him for
it. But he did no such thing; he
sustained Grants government
throughout, and voted for every
thing which he now calls uncOnsti-
tutional. Nay, down to the last
moment, when it became manifest
that Louisiana and Florida had re-
jected him, but before the Return
ing Boards had saved him by their
legerdemain, he was still ready to
wave the bloody shirt as his banner.
| He said to an interviewer:
al can submit personally to the will of
| the people but / grive for the poor unpro-
| tected negroes"
The "policy," then, was adopted
simply as q policy, and not as q
principle-we are glad to get it any
how, but the Leaf is welcome to its
gush about it.
Speaking in Atlanta, Ga, the
President said:
Now, my friends, 1 see it stated OCCASION
ally that President Hayes has taken the
! course he has because he was compelled to
| Voice" We don't believe it'll Now, was
| compelled to it. [Applause.l l was COM
| PEELED to it by nay sense of duty under my
| oath of office. Immense enthusiasm and
| cheers.
All that is perfectly true, but so
was Gen. Grant bound to it nine
years ago by his oath of Office, and
yet Mr.. Hayes supported him in a
policy directly opposite to it for
eight years; while, therefore, we
approve the present policy and eX-
pect to support it in every way, we
fail to appreciate the immense en-
thusiasm."

operation upon people or govern
ments in debt, and that experience
showed that we were reaching the
specie basis as fast as a just regard
to the interests of the country would
permit, and that to force resumption
was neither just nor polite. He
feared that forced resumption could
not be maintained, but thought
without arbitrary measures resump-
ton would take place in compar-
atively short time, and would be
maintained. He explained the acts
of Congress demonetizing silver, and
advocated the reconciliation of
the dollar of our fathers, as an act
ofsimple Justice, as well as of good
policy.

THE MOLLY MAGuREs.

BLooMsURG, Pa, Sept. 23.-Much excite
ment is being occasioned in Columbia cOun-
ty and surrounding country by the inaugu-
ration of Molly Maguirism. The OutrageS
so far have been directed against those per-
sons who have appeared as witnesses for the
famous Molly Mcguire trials, but from the
numerous threatening notices that have
been distributed at different points ii is fear
ed the lawleSs element has resolved upon
general and widespread reign of terror. This
usually quiet and orderly town has already
been the scene of several fragrant Outrages,
and the people have been aroused to the
highest pitch of excitement, as it is appre-
hended from the movements of the deSper
ate and infiamed outlaws that this is but the
beginning of the end.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hunting Diary

From the National Repository.
Among the discoveries made by
Colonel Rawlinson, in the excava-
lions of Babylon, was Nebuchad-
nezzar's hunting diary, with notes,
and here and there a portrait of his
dogs, sketched by himself, with his
name under it. He mentions in it
his having been i'll and while he
was delirious he thought he had
been put to Craze like the beasts of
the field. Is not this a wonderful
corroboration of Scripture? Raw
linson also found a pot of preserves
in an excellent state, and gave some
to Queen Victoria to taste. How
little ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cook dream
ed when making them that twenty
five centuries after the Queen of
England would eat some of the
identical preserves that figured at
his masters table!

SPECIMENS oUTRAGEs.

Two persons living near Ruper have fallen
victims to the wrath of the MOllies, and this
has been quickly succeeded by diabolism in
this place. During the trials of the Molly
Maguires the satellites of the organization
tried to get William RingrOse, a witness for
the prosecution, to bride the Grand Jury,
SO being the price to be paid each juror.
Ringrose refused and furnished such inform
alton as convicted John Kramer, the nOtOri-

threatened vengeance, have successfully
carried their threat into execution by burn

CUI BONO.

We clip the following from the
London Economist. ItcOnfirms the
opinion so generally held here that
wheat will rise in price during the
present war, but we fear that those
will be disappointed who anticipated
general quickening of our COM
merce from that one item. 1t will be
farfrom improving the balance of our
trade if, while wheat rises in value,
cotton, wool, and iron decline. The
price of these depends upon the in
dustry of nations and this can only
prosper in times of peace. So that,
after all, we have more to hope from
the prosperity of other nations than
from their misfOrtunes
"The London Economist, reviewing the
business influence of the Eastern War, now
in its fourth month, comes to the conclusion
that it has increased the price of wheat,
while it has depressed that of cotton, wool
and iron. To go more into detail, it says !:
- We ind that wheat is now Gas. cd. per quar-
ter, while six months ago the Gazette aver
age was only 52S, 3D., and year ago 40S.
ID. This means dear bread, and compared
with those of year ago the condition pro
taRtO altered for the worse. But the war APP
pears to have directly depressed business,
quite apart from the check upon the spend
ing power of Nations, which is created by
dear bread " Were cotton on Its own
merits, there could be no possible doubt as
to the influence on prices of the strong sta
tiStical position which we have just define
ated. But cotton is not on its own merits.
Business in Manchester and other manu-
featuring markets is hampered by the war
now raging in the eaSt--by the fear that other
countries may drawn into the conflict
by political disquietude in France, and by
the adverse influence which these disturb
ing causes have upon trade in general over
the world"
Tabular statements are then made
Indicating a fall in the prices of all
these three latter articles.

damage to the building is estimated
at from 100000 to 100000. The
fire originated from the spontaneous

stances which were slowed away in

KU KLUX NOTICES.

Not satisfied with deviltry the law break
erS had forwarded Ku KluX notices to sever
al persons, and warning them, under
penalty of speedy and horrible deaths,
to leave the county as early as pos
Sible. The Molly MaguireS appear to have
exercised such a terrorism in some localities
that the farmers and others do their bidding
without murmur or complaint to the au-
thoritieS.
1t is difficult to fOrsee the end Of
all this. The perpetuation of such a
state of things cannot be contempla-
ted for a moment by civilized ma
ton, and yet craftsmanship seems
baffied in devising methods for the
final disposition of such popula-
ton,

Death Of the Astronomer lie Yer


rier.
We have to announce this week a |
death which will attract the atten
ton of the whole scientific world.
URBAN Jean Joseph LIE Verrier died |
on Tuesday, the 23rd inst.
The characteristic of LIE Verrier's |
mind was that rare combination of
bold conception and patient research
which alone qualities men for great
discoveries. He was born at st. Lo,
18th March, 1911. Prior to 1916 he
was first known, for a reconstruction
of the orbit of Mercury effected by
by the correction of previous inacu-
rate observations. Next he demon
strated the stability of the solar sys-
tenn by proving minimum of &C.
centricities and mutual inclination
of the orbits of the great planets.
But his great discovery was that
of the planet Neptune. In 1916 he
had been engaged in studying the
orbit of Uranus for the purpose of
determining the limits of his per-
turbations by the same method as
he had applied to the other planets.
His calculations soon detected per-
turbations which could only be ac-
counted for by the attractive force
of some planet further from the sun
than Uranus, which was down to
/ that time considered the most dis
tant planet of the Solar system.
Similar calculations had been made
at Cambridge England by Professor
Challis of that university but LIE
Verrier claims the merit of having
published the directions where the
planet should be searched for on a
given day, Jan /. 1847. A German
astronomer pointed his telescope on
that day as directed by lie Verrier
and the existence of the hypotheti-
cal planet was visibly manifested.
In 1858 lie Verrier succeeded Arago
as director of the National Observa-
tory; he was soon engaged in con-
troversy and afterwards in an angry
recriminatOry contest with the other
savants employed in that institu-
ton, and in 1870 was displaced in
consequence of their opposition.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The workingmens movement seems to
have little strength in Western Massaehu-
sets. Several meetings called in this in
terest have proved failures so far as atten-
dance was concerned, very few genuine
workingmen thinking enough of the matter
to be present.
1t is specimen of Democratic economy
that the debt of the city of New York which
was Si5 100000 in lSG6,is $132 900, 900 in
in 1877. While under Republican rule the
national debt has been largely reduced, the
debt of the metropolis, under Democratic
rule. has been increased 200 per cent. This
is about the measure of merit of the two
parties.
The Galveston Nars, Southern Demo-
cratic paper, eommends the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Maine for his 50 rare
example of moderation, good sense, moral
courage and contempt for partisan claptrap"
in repudiating the Democratic platform upon
which he was nominated.

tial to party if the hearty and earnest
support of its own administration is not ~
