HOW THEY DID IT.

The failure Of the western and large 00dy
of the northern democrats il congress to
slave off completion OF the presidential
count was brought about, it is SAID, by The
detection of the southern democrats. The
republicans were enabled to consummatc the
grandest vlllainy OF the ages by securing the
aid Of Ben Hill and Lamar and their south
ern following, by the positive promise, that
the first act of Hayes, on his Inauguration,
shall be the recognition Of Hampton and
Nichols as governors of South Carolina and
Louisiana, ana the legality and regularity of
the Hampton and Nichols legislatures. The
bargain also includes stipulation that
Hayes will never permit troops again to be
sent to the south to control elections or to up.
hold carpet-bag domination.
That the southern democrats should be
willing to enter into such a bargain is not
surprising. The presidency is to them a
control of their own state governments. But
what can equal the deeply dainnable and
double-dyed lniamy of the republican leaders
that can enter into such compact? After
the bloody shirt bowling of the last cam.
palgn, here is the confession that all of 1t was
an infamous lie by a deliberate sale and turn
ing over of all the black voters and all their
carpet-bagger friends and leaders to the ten.
klux of the south, to be dealt with at their
own sweet pleasure, and no government bayo
nets ever to be allowed to intervene in behalf
of the oppressed man and brother"
And then as to poor Stearns, and Cham
berlain, and Wells and Kellogg, Packard
Casanave, Kenner and all that long list OF
lovely thieves, brigands aud cutthroat scoun
drels, who have endured all the shame and
obloquy of concentrating the giant frauds by
which Hayes has been counted in-what is
to become of them? Eternal scorn and con
tempt of all decent men must be their portion
and any respectable location of the south toe
hot climate for their future abode. And
this is the pay with which the Mortcns, Chan
oilers, Camerons, &c, propose to requite
them.
But worst of all is the iniarly with which
it will cover Hayes himself as with a cloak
AS the Washington HepubIicon, Grants or

If the action OF the returning board was
valid IN the case of Hayes, 1t must necessari

fore, if the decision of the electoral tribunal
was right and just, Packard is the lawful
governor of louisiana and, for the sake OF
our republican form of government and tol
the preservation of the elective franchise
rights, he should be supported by the federal
power.
That was said two weeks ago in favor OF
the recognition of Packard. In the face Of II
Hayes now agrees to recognize Nichols, and
by the act brands his own election with eter'
nal lnfamy, for if Nichols was honestly cleo
TED IN louisiana then was Tilden honestly
elected president, and Hayes is an lnterlope'
and usurper by his own confession, for the
same vote that was cast for Nichols in Lou
isana was cast for Tilden.

There is no need to 60 into any lengthy ar
gument or detailed statement to show TO onl
people no, :only the propriety but neces
sity of voting, on the 18th inst lone week
from next Monday in favor OF incorporating
under the general corporation laws OF the
state. The city council fully investigated the
subject weeks ago and found that there was
really no choice in the matter The special
charter under which they are working has
been so crippled and denuded Of powers by
general enactments that it is getting to be
very doubtful what powers our mayor and
city council have left Even In the matter OF
local improvements and assessing and col
Letting the ordinary revenues there Is begin
ming to be so much conflict between our
special charter and the general laws OF the
state as to threaten to involve the city in end
less litigation if the charter is adhered to.
The general law will introduce no startling
changes or innovations. The general powers
of mayor and council will remain about the
same as heretofore. Only it makes many
matters legally clear that are at present be-
coming sadly muddled.
We take it for granted that the general law
will be adopted without serious opposition, In
which case our city election will not take
place until the third Tuesday In April, unless
the Kehoe bill, now pending IN the legisla-
ture, passes, under which all city elections In
the state will take place on the first Tuesday

Congress, aside from the time wasted upon
the presidential electoral count, is of course
exclusively engaged in working upon the ne
cessary appropriation bills. In the determi
nation TO pass these, so as to obviate all ne
cessity or excuse for an extra session of con

TO let many extravagant appropriations be

such sturdy fight to prevent the con-

even those members themselves, in their
cooler judgment, will admit that ii was bet
ter they did not succeed. For the democrats
to have gone before the people next fall un-
der such circumstances, would have been eX
ceedingly hazardous If not hopeless. The
mountainous and gigantic frauds of the re-
publicans, proved and admitted, would have
been offset by plea of bad faith on the par,
of the democrats in refusing 10 abide by tht
decision of commission Of their own Great
ing, and thus forcing upon the country all the
turmoil, business arrangement and other dis
asters, inconvenience and nuisanccs of ar

Blue Glass ouackery.

General Pleasanton's claims, of any
superior powers for blue glass on account
of the color which it produces in trans
mitted light, are, when tested by the
result of previous investi cations, unfound-
ed. In some instances, where it is desira-
BILE to reduce the intensity of the light,
blue glass may be used but any other
mode of shading the light, as by ground
glass; thin curtains, ETC., would without
doubt serve equally. as....well. The cures
produced are ascribable to two causes -
first, to the healthy influence of the sun
bath, and secondly, to the very powerful
influence Of the patients imagination.
There are abundant cases known where
imagination has SO powerfully affected the
body as to cause death.
Experiments upon criminals have shown
that in one instance, where person was
placed in bed which, h. was informed,
had just been vacated by cholera patient
(but which had not), he exhibited all the
symptoms of that disease. Another per-
son is reported to have shown all the signs
of collapse from loss Of blood, from the
suppositious idea that he was bleeding to
death. As regards the animals. fattened
under the glass, all the circumstances go
to. show ssthat..the result, was due to their
enforced quiescence, their shelter from
the weather, and their free exposure to
the sun.
1t is hardly necessary.to add that in our
opinion the use of blue glass, as advocated
by General Pleasonton, is devoid of benefit.

A VOLCANO IN THE OCEAN.
Hot Lava Flowing to the Surface Of geala-
keakaua Bay, Sandwich Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.--The Homo
lulu Gazette Of February 2sth contains an
account of remarkable submarine volcanic
outbreak in Kealakeakaua Bay, near the
entrance to the harbor. The natives report
that the eruption occurred at o'clock on
the morning of the Gath, appearing like in
Vulnerable red, blue and green lights. In
the afternoon several boats visited the
eruption, cruising over the most attractive
part, where the water was in state of Pc
culiar activity, boiling and appearing as if
passing over rapids, or very much like the
water at He'll Gate, N. Y. Blocks of lava
two feet square came up from below, fire.
quently striking and jarring the boats. AS
the lava was quite soft no harm was done.
Nearly all the pieces on reaching the sur
face were red hot, emitting steam and gas,
strongly sulphurous. A rumbling noise
was heard, like that of rocks in freshet,
caused, no doubt by the eruption of lava
from the submarine crater, which is sup
posed to be crack or line Of rupture, ex-
tending at least a mile from shore. An
other rupture, doubtless continuation of
the submarine fssure, was traced inland
from shore nearly three miles, varying in
width from few inches to three feet. In
some places water was soon pouring into
the abyss below.
A severe shock Or earthquake was felt by
residents of Kaowalsa and Kell during the
night of the eruption, which must have
preceded the outbreak. 1t was quite Sc
we're, but no damage is reported.

Pictures n Wood Fires.

One particular aspect Of the West is the
wood fires. I haven't seen wood fire in q
number of years, but they are common
enough here, and they need as much atten-
ton as sick friend. There are people
who see pictures in wood fires, whose fan
cies are awakened and stimulated by the
blaze, and who trace in the glowing embers
proudly sailing ships, and towering castles.
and gay knights with beautiful ladies, and
glens AMI landscapes and the like. I have
IN active fancy; and see pictures in wood
fires. Not exactly like these have spoken
OF. No, not exactly. only see one pic
ture, but it is the same picture every time.
Coming and going it never changes Shall
l tell you of that picture, the wond. r \ .lly
life like picture, which always comes y las
out of the glowing Goals? It is the DICT, re
OF saw-buck, with crooked stick on thu
DUCK, and a contrary saw in the stick, and
q very much outraged boy attached to the
saw. And saw the boy try to push and
pull the saw which will neither be pushed
nor pulled, and / hear his cry and scream,
and sob and yell, and moan and howl. and I
see him jump up and down and kick the
DUCK, and trample on his hat until nv
heart aches, and my eyes grow dim. There
is something very saddening to me in nv
ancies.-Danbary News.
