THE DANCE OF DEATH.

The book OF which the above ID the
title we read SOM time since, but not
wishing 10 stir any ones curiosity ID re-
card 10 it. we never mentioned it, bat
now as several copies have been clrcu-
lating pretty freely around Pioche' we
propose to say few words in regard to
that little work. The nom de plume of
the writer is William Herman. That he
ID a vigorous writer no one will deny;
every page showing a practiced pen,
wide range Of reading and very beautiful
language, but the plainness Of the lam
euage used is the great objection to the
book. The author, in his preface, meets
the objection by saying, my excuse, if
excuse be needed for saying just what |
mean, ia that it is impossible to clothe
in delicate terms the intolerable nasti-
ness which expose and at the same
time to press the truth home to those
who are most in need of it. | might as
well address the wind as veil my ideas
in sweet phrases when addressing people
who cannot descry the presence Of cor
ruption until it is held in ali its putridity
under their very nostrils" The pictures
of modern ballroom are drawn with
wonderful power, as any one who has
been there will RECOGNIZES the art of the
writer in the following: "a score OF
forms whirl swiftly before us under the
softening gaslight. say score of
forms, but each is double They would
have made two scores before the dancing
begun. Do you mark yonder couple
who seem to excel the rest in grace and
ardor. Let us take this couple
for a sample. He is stalwart, agile,
mighty; she is tall, supple, 1.-the, aud
how beautiful in form and feature. Her
head rests upon his shoulder, her face IS
upturned to his, her naked arm is almost
around his neck, her swelling breast
heaves unanimously against his; face to
face they whirl. his limbs interviewer
with her limbs; with strong right arm
around her waist he presses her to him
until every curve in the contour OF her
lovely body thrills with amourous con-
tact. Her eyes LOOKS into his but she
sees nothing; the soft music nus the
room, but she hears nothing; swiftly he
whrls her from the floor, but she knows
il not. With last low wal
the music ceases. Her swooning senses
come back to life. Leaning YEARLY
upon his arm, the rapture faded from
her eye, the flush dying from her cheek,
enervated, limp, listless and worn gu
she is led to her seat there to recover
her delirium and gather her energies as
best she may" The above Is fan
sample of the pages of the book. and al
such we think the prurient ideas created
by the reading OF the book will ultimate
ly cause more trouble and create mort
such ideas than all the dancing that i
INDUCED in. 1t is not the volume tina
we would recommend that young PEG
pie should be allowed to read.

THE Democrats of the secenh New
York city Congressional district did an
eminently wise and prudent thing in elect
ing the distinguished lawyer, David Dudley
Field, to Congress, to fill the vacancy
caused by the election of Hon. Smith Ely,
jr., the late member, to the office of Mayor
of that city. 1t was as high compliment
as was ever paid by any political party TO
one who was not ''bone of its bone and
flesh of its flesh." Nh. Field has always
been identified with the Republican party.
and was an enthusiastic supporter of Hayes
for the Presidency. But since the election
of Governor Tilden he, like an honest man,
has openly denounced the infamous means
resorted to by the Republican leaders to
cheat Mr.. Tilden out Of the office to which
an overwhelming majority of the people
had chosen him. The district is strongly
Democratic and it was only necessary for
that party to nominate its candidate and
elect him. Wiser and more prudent coun-
sells prevailed, however, and now David
Dudley Field, as the choice of bis political
opponents, takes his seat in Congress as
the determined foe of the attempted Louisi
ana Returning Board fraud, or as lie him
self said in ringing speech when he accep-
ted the nomination: ''froDs this moment
/ stand committed to the principle that the
count Of tie ballots actually cast is tie only
test Of the ,oiU Of the people," This is all
tha. any Democrat asks, and if Mr.. Field
does not make it as hot as IIades during
the two months he will remain in Cong ess
for the scoundrels who have conspireL to
set aside the voice of the people, we are en-
tirely mistaken in our estimate Of the man
and his great ability as well as his fearless
independence. His brother, Judge Field,
Of California, who was appointed by Presi-
deut Lincoln as an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
who is also Republican, has declared un-
Iesitatingly his belief that Tilden was fairly
elected, and is equally emphatic in bis de-
nunciation of the secret and therefore fraud
ulent proceedings OF the Louisiana Return
ing Board. 1t is an old adaee that "straws
show which way the wind blows"

ATTORNEY GENERAL LEAR has filed an
opinion with State Treasurer Rawle, with
special reference to the payment of expen-
ses incurred by the special Legislative COM
mittee appointed to investigate the Read
ing Railroad Company, in which he de-
cides that all appropriations of money to
legislators beyond the fixed salary of 81 900
Tor each session, are unconstitutional BY
this opinion the large payment of nearly
100000 to the last Legislature for per
diem compensation after the expiration of
the one hundred days was unconstitutional al
AND the State Treasurer will hereafter re-
fuse to pay any more than the specific sal
airy OF 81 900 to each member, no matter
how long the session may he extended
There is much criticism OF Attorney Gen
eral Lear FOR not giving legal construc-
tion of the law to the State Treasurer last
spring, when the Leg gisature was held to-
gether for weeks mainly by the temptation
to obtain the SO per day.

y SENSIBLE suggestion is made by Gov
ernor Hendricks, in his fare message
to the Indiana Legislature. looking to a
change of holding the State election. The
October contests IN Presidential years are
u nuisance to the States in which they oc-
country. They are something worse. for
it is beyond question that they stimulate
aud in measure compel the use of every
corrupt Influence known to adroit and un
scrupulous political managers. 1t is prob
able both Ohio and Indiana will abandon
their October elcciious, at least in Presi-
Dental years.

that on the morning of the 9TH, about forty
miles off Cape May, she oollided in thick

Two Governors Of Louisiana were inaug-
urated in New Orleans on Monday last.
One of them, Gen. Nichols, Democrat, was
elected by the people by over eight tbous-
and of majority, and the other, Packard,
carpct-bagger, was declared elected by
famous Returning Board of that State, of
which the notorious j. Madison Wells is
chairman, and Anderson, White, and Cas-
anave and Kenner, both colored, are lis
plant and willing tools. There was no
disturbance or violation of the peace on
that day, everything having passed off
quietly and haimoniously. Gov. Nichols
was inaugurated in trout of St. Patrick S
Hall, in the presence Of an immense con-
course of people of both colors. estimated
at $4,000, among whom were the leading
merchants and business men of the CITY,
He delivered brief, bnt most admirable
and patriotic address. Packard had has in
auguration in The State House and deliv-
cred bloody shirt speech to his motley
crowd of supporters.
On the day following these events, how
ever, great excitement prevailed through
out the city of New Orleans. Gov. Mich
oils State militia, or police force, assembled
at An early hour on Tuesday morning, and
without firing a shot took possession OF all
the station houses and the Supreme Court
building, Gen. Augur, in command of the
United States troops, in the meantime de-
claring that he woulo not interfere except
TO preserve the peace. Packard of course
telegrapbed to Grant for assistance, but he
won't need it, as Gov. Nichols and his men
under arms will never provoke or bring on
a collision. Before we 60 to press there
may be further developments, and if so we
will not fail to notice them.
p. S. Up to ? P. NJ. on Wednesday per-
feet quiet and good order prevailed in New
Orleans, and Gen Augur stated that lie did
not anticipate any further trouble Grant
said on the same day to three Democratic
Congressman from Louisiana, that until
more fully advised of all the facts he would
not interfere in favor of either Packard or
Nichols, and that the troops under Gen.
Augur would only be employed to sup
press violence aud preserve the peace.
Public opinion, like the pen, is mightier
than the swort-even with Grant.

grcss last week, granting a pension Of S9

The surviving veterans of the Mexican war
from Pennsylvania, when it was proposed
to pay each Of them bounty OF 5000. y
Pennsylvania legislature, however has
never the time, much less the inclination,
to attend to such tifing matters. This
bill ought to pass the Senate, but it should
be carefully guarded in its details. Not
having seen its provisions, we cannot OF
course express an opinion as to its absolute
merits. We can only therefore repeat our
often expressed opinion, that the true and
tried men who fonght out to y successful
conclusion the brief but memorable Mexi-
can war, h:.ve not thus far received justice
at tie hands of their country.

TESTIMONY is not lacking even from
Louisiana Republicans that the Returning
Board of that State is untrustworthy, for
Joseph Blackburn, who claims to be the
oldest native Republican in the Gulf States,
declares in his paper that the Wells and
Anderson Returning Board is "a disgrace
to the governmental machinery of Louisi-
ana, and an outrage upon the elective fran
chise OF any people called free, or making
any pretensions to independence or de-
cency-a burlesque, in fact, upon civiliza-
tiop ITSELF"
