The gallant Blaine, now Senator from

usually means business. In last weeks
DEMOCRAT we gave the substance of the
following letter. 1t indicates bitter hos
tility, but read it:
To the Editor of the Boston Herald:
Your Columbia correspondent is in err
ror in his statement that had confer.
ence with Gov. Chamberlain in New
York. I have seen Gov. Chamberlain
but once for year, and that was in the
private cabinet room of President Hayes
on the 9th of March. Nor have | writ
ten or telegraphed him or heard from
him in any way. The same is true re-
specting Gov. Packard, except in the
matter of one telegram received from him
which / read publicly IN the United
States Senate. But am sure that Gov.
Chamberlain knows that he has the pro-
foundest sympathy in the heroic though
unsuccessful struggle he has made in
South Carolina for civil liberty and con-
stitutional government. / am equally
sure that Gov. Packard feels that my
heart and judgment are both with him
in the contest he is still waging against
great odds for the Governorship, which
he holds by title as valid as that which
Justly and lawfully seated Rutherford B.
Hayes in the Presidential chair. 1 trust
also, that both Governors know that the
Boston press no more represents the stall
wart Republican feeling of New England
on the pending issues, than the same
press did when it demanded the enforce
ment Of the Fugitive Slave law in 1851.
Very respectfully,
J. G. BLAINE.
Augusta, Me-, April 10, 1877.
Ex-senator Ben Wade has written to
Washington to the same purport, in his
usual outspoken bitter style. Some of
their leading papers indicate hostility to
to Hayes's policy. The signs show
commotion in the party, endangering its
unity and harmony, We shall see.

HEAVY DEFALCATION.
A Broker Mi8appropriateS 100000 En-
trnSted TO Him.

New York, Oct. I6.-George F. Plume,
a broker at No. 81 Exchange Place, liv>
ing at the Clarendon hotel, is charged
by connections of the Lamont family
with having misappropriated nearly
S4oo. 900. Charles A. Lamont, formerly
a sugar refner and afterwards a Wall
street broker, fell from the window Of his
house on Fifth avenue, in the fall of 1873
and was killed. He left an estate of
nearly 100000 tothe care of his wife as
executrix, and of Francis Skiddy and
George F. Plume as executors.
Plume was formerly Lamont's partner
in the sugar business, and had the lat>
ter's entire confidence and h d COM
plete trust put in him by Mrs. Lamont
and Mr.. Skiddy. He had entire charge
of the property, which consisted of
United States bonds, bonds Of other
kinds and first>class mortgages, of to-
tai value of S4oo, 900. There was no
suspicion that Plume was faithless to his
trust until last week, when the connec-
tions of the Lamont family state he cons
fessed to Mrs. Lamont that he was un-
able to account for securities placed in
his hands. To reporters who called on
hlm Mr.. Plume admitted there were diff
hcultles in his accounts with the estate,
but said it was family affair of no pub
lie interest, and that the amount was ex-
aggerated in the street. Plume has been
speculating heavily on puts and calls,
and has lost largely,

A CORRECT VIEW OF WAR.
Why Soldiers are apt to Kill the
Wounded.

A correspondent (Mr. A, H, Christiel
sends us the following observations on
the cross charges of barbarism in the
field made by the Turks on the one side
and the Russians on the other: 81 find
floods of indignation poured upon either
the brutal Turks or the savage Russians
for their alleged practice of stabbing the
wounded. Now, sir, till you can bind
over wounded man to abstain from
endeavoring to return that wound it
seems to me unreasonable to expect the
wounder to refrain by an extra prod,
from making the wounded perfectly
safe. If am a gallant Turkish full
private, struck down by the lance of a
Cossack, my first impulse, if am net
seriously injured and my rife is still
loaded, is to discharge that rifle at the
Cossack as he rides on after having
knocked me over. The Cossack, un-
less he is a particularly great fool
knows nv feeling, by sympathy, and
will naturally, by second prod, outs
rage all the finer feelings of the whole
race OF special correspondents, ana at
the same time secure himself against
my natural impulses. 1t is really Gus
rious to observe how shriekingly tender
hearted we have grown Of late times;
of course, | merely mean when our
own interests are not concerned. The

void of kindly and hearty feelings, but

Operations connected with the subma.

menced on the other side of the Chan

depth of about no yards. AT the same
time the French and English committees
have definitely drawn up the conditions
of working for the route. The property
of the tunnel is to be divided in half by
the length-that is to say, each compa
ny will possess half of the line, reckon
ing the distance from coast to coast at
low tide. Each company will cover the
expense ofits portion.
The general work of excavation will
be done on the one hand by the Great
Northern Of France, and on the other by
the Chatham and Southeastern compa
nies, the two latter having each a direct
route from London to Dover. All the
materials of the French and English
Inns will pass throuph the tunnel in or
der to prevent unnecessary expenses and
delay of transhipment, as in England
and in France railway companies use
each others lines, and goods can pass
from one line to another without chang

THE OHIO DEFEAT.
General Garfield sums Up the Causes
for 1t TO an interviewer.

Washington Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
October l2lh,l
General Garfield gives, in an extend
ed interview, a summary Of opinions
held by the Republicans of Ohio as to
the cause of their defeat. These opin-
ions are briefly these,
I. Vests communstic speech at Cleve-
land, accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor This greatly offended Repubi~
can business men, who, in view Of the
strikes, as rebuke to West. refused to
vote for him.
2. The workingmen's movementg gain
ed eighty per centum of its strength from
the Republican party. Lucas county,
which was an old Republican strong~
hold, was actually carried by the work.
ingmen. Hamilton county was put into
the hands of the Democracy by works
ingmen.
8, The chief cause, many Republi~
cans think, was the Civil Service order
of the President. Many regarded this
as an infringement of the rights of
American citizens, and showed their dis
approval of it by not voting Probably
100, 900 Republicans in Ohio declined
to vote for various reasons.
4. Hostility to the Presidents Southern
policy was great reason. The views
of Ben Wade prevailed in many quar-
ters. The Southern trip of the President
did not hel to reconcile those who are
opposed to his Southern policy, as they
thought that the President appeared to
present to the Southern people the paci-
fcation policy as his own, and not as
representative Of party which had in
dorsed such policy in its platform.
s. The Democratic party made no
gains in the State.
These elements General Garfield
groups as the reasons assigned in Ohio
for the defeat without taking any opino
ion of his own as to the merits of the
arguments used,

HEATING A CITY BY STEAM.

We sometime ago referred to the fact
efforts were making to furnish steam to
the people of whole village or section
of a city, as gas has for sometime been
done; also that it was proposed to trans
NIT power by steam, compressed air or
hydraulic pressure. We now have
statement of the initial attempt at warns
ing a village by steam-at Lockport,
New York.
The cost is thought to be but little
more than half the cost Of stoves, altho'
the great heat for kitchen apparatus may
be less easy to furnish. From the steam
boilers the supply of heat is forced thro'
pipes laid underground to the buildings
which are to be warmed. The main
pipe, constructed of iron, is in size about
five inches in diameter. Around the
pipe is wound hair cloth one-half three
quarters of an inch thick, and over this
is wrapped heavy Manila paper. Thus
prepared, the pipes are laid in hollow
logs which are covered with zinc.

NEMESIS.

The melancholy days have come,
The Saddest Of the year,
When Hayes has startling news from home
That strikes his soul with fear.
When Evarts hopes have seen, alas,
Their final Dire S parade,
And from his vision swiftly pass
A shadowy cavalCade
When Devens vain reflections grieVe
And dismal thoughts instil,
OF what fool he was to leave
The shades of Bunker Hill.
When Sherman from his cash box turns
To curb the mounting blaz5
OF fierce desire that in him burns
To put head Oh Hayes.
When sChurz DER his piano gasps
To mounful strains and low,
The while each leg the other clasps
In ecstasy Of woe,
When dazed NcCrary, last not least,
Appalled, and bore distrest,
No cheering sign sees in the East
Nor comfort in the West.
These are the days Of wrongs defeat,
The Ballots tempest shock
When Justice takes the judgment seat,
And Fraud stands in the dock.
