A BIG WAR IMMINENT-A cable from
London to the New York Graphic says
some incredible rumors are atloat concern
ing the absence of Marshal MacMahon and
the French Conservatives. 1t is said there
is great activity in military circles in France,
and that immense stores of war material
have been gathered together, and orders
sent to America for such provisions as would
be useful in the event of foreign war.
1t is suspected that MacMahon is deter
mined to restore the empire, and to accom-
plish this end proposes to plunge into war
as an excuse for suppressing the election or
use the military to carry it, The election
would now 60 overwhelmingly Republican,
but with war on hand the peasantry
would rally to the support of the existing
Government. The current rumor is that
secret alliance has been entered into by
France and Austria against Germany, by
which Germany is to be attacked on both
TANKS simultaneously, and it is believed
Belgium and Holland can be induced to
join the alliance. 1t is also said that the
French are confident that with France,
Austria Belgium, Holland and Denmark,
which powers would, it is believed, take a
hand in fighting against the Germans and
Russians, England would be embroidered
to range herself on the same side, in order
to preserve Constaptinople from the Mus
covites.

THE RAINS.

Early in the season farmers all over
the country were complaining of the
drought, and predicting that their crops
would be seriously injured for lack of
rain. During the past month or more
the country has been treated to sur
felt of rain, and now the farmers are
complaining that their crops are likely
to be ruined by too much moisture.
We almost believe that agriculturists
never find things as they want them,
and are given to predicting disaster
But Notwithstanding all their misgiv-
ings, the country contrives each year
to produce respectable crops, and to
make large profits from its agricultural
productions. What is lost on one crop
IS made up in some other way. If the
fruit is failure, the abundance of the
wheat and corn crops fully compensate.
There is no evil without some good.
The floods that the farmers complain
of at this time have been blessing to
the lumbermen. Owing to the low
stage of the water in most of the rivers,
their logs were hung up" on the
banks all the way from the head waters
of the streams TO the places where the
saw mills wait to transform them into
lumber The floods came, the streams
were swollen, and the logs heretofore
regarded as an almost total loss were
Aoated briskly down to the desired
Ravens.
While the farmers may have had a
little more rain than they desired the
lumbermen are returning thanks for the
abundant supply which enables them to
convert millions of dollars of chung
up" capital into available assets. So
we say there is no evil without some
good.

THE GROVELlNG GROVER.

The new revelations from Oregon do
not rejoice the Bourbon heart. Cronin
was so unmitigated a fraud that the
most bigoted supporter of the Gramercy
Park reformers drew long breath of
relief when the ominous halo of his
fiery proboscis went out with Tilden's
presidential sunset behind old Pacifc's
slopes. And now the groveling Grover
comes back to worry his righteous kins-
men with the unwelcome but not unex-
pected story of his corruption, and is
about to furnish the latest edition of
Tilden "reminiscences with the most
telling cuts" 1t is true that his fam
Gus Gobble dispatch established his
reputation as a prince of intrguers,
barren of honor and lacking a scruple
of conscience But the investigation
just begun will doubtless prove him a
right royal rascal, for the witnesses
since Sites has spoken-are taking
to the mountains" and everybody knows
that when Democrat RUNS, the very
deuce must be to pay. People with
ordinary memories will remember that
representative Democrats at Washing
ton and elsewhere lionize Grover for
the sHREwDNEss he displayed in the
Cronin Job" His skill in that bust
ness seemed to endear him to his East
ern brethren, and it will excite no sur
prise if it finally turns out that Grover,
having helped conspiracy to hire, buy
or steal Tilden elector from Oregon,
also bought seat in the United States
Senate by the most approved "reform
methods.

HOW TO STOP THE CRY OF FRAUD.

A few Democratic and selfstyled
Independent editors still keep up the
cry of fraud" concerning the Presi-
dency, when the matter has been finally
settled by the highest authority ever
known in this Nation, and as an issue
is, to all intents and purposes, as dead
as an Egyptian mummy. There is but
one way in which these bawling dom
keys can be silenced, and what that
way is, may be inferred from the man
ner in which similar nuisance of noise
was stopped, as related by the distin-
guished traveller, Able Hue: ave

"nev in wagon in the province of
" Pekin. Our equipage was under the
guidance of an old schoolmaster,
mounted on magnificent ass. so full
"of ardor and agility that the two
mules that completed our team had
all the difficulty in the world to keep
cup with him This ass, moreover
"was so filled with sense of his own
superiority and SO proud of it, that
whenever he became aware of the
presence of any Of his brethren, he
never failed to commence Boosting of
it in such loud, sonorous and harsh
" tones that his folly became quite in
" supportable When he got to an inn,
" instead Of trying to rest himself, the
" beast passed the whole night prac-
" tcing music, setting all the donkeys
I" in the neighborhood to singing the
" same tune, so that it was impossible
" to sleep. One evening we complained
" to the schoolmaster of this intolerable
" noise. He replied, Why did you not
tell me before? / would soon have
" stopped his singing The next night
" we slept soundly, and confessed to
" the old man that we heard no braying.
" No, think not said he, | saw to
" that before | went to bed. You NAV
" have noticed that when an ass is 60
" ing to bray he always prepares by
" raising his tail, and he keeps it ex-
" tended horizontally as long as his
" song lasts. TO insure his silence YOU
" have only to tie large stone to the
" end of his tail, so that he cannot raise
" it. Come and convince yourselves.
" We followed him to the court yard,
" where we beheld, sure enough, the
" poor ass with large stone attached |
" to his tail, and with the air of having
" lost his accustomed spirits. His eyes
" were fixed on the ground, his ears
hung down, his whole appearance
" denoting humility and dejection.-I

that on the day of the Chisolm murders

Chisolm's behalfn This is considered
in Mississippi as conclusive of the whole
case. Having served in the Rebel
