Democracy from any consideration now is
equivalent to placing United States Sem
ator in their hands at the end Of senator
CONKIINa's term. In view Of this, nothing
Of disturbing character should be injected
into the campaign to lessen the unity of the
party and its chances of success. We care
not what mistakes may have been made IN
tho State convention, or what personal
gricfs may have been ventilated or wounds
inflicted, they are nothing rs compared with
the loss of the State Senate. They should
have oil passed out Of mind when the con-
take to keep thom alive, and throw their
shadow upon the canvass now.
II the convention had proved faulty in
the cnunciation of its principles; If it had
betrayed public confidence in that respect,
by putting forth false and pernicious politi-
cal doctrines as its creed. then the case
would be different; but instead of falling
into such an error It has presented the world
with a platform of principles which in
cludes all that has been contcndcd for on
HuNo''VhS' eh" s'' NV" ''bsiNN" ''
live issncs, since the formation Of the Re-
publican party. Thus accoutrcd, that party
entered the canvass to make fight with the
Democracy and secure q victory. Under
the existing divisions of the Democracy in
the city of New York, with which the ru-
raj districts always sympathize in greater
or less degree, the Republicans have a fnir
show for carrying the State, which cannot
he impaired except by intestine difficulties
in their own organization.
II is for the interest of the country that
the State of New York should be Republic
can in the result of this election. II is i'm
portant to Republican Administration
that the Empire State should declare with
decided voice in favor Of Republican prin-
ciplcs by the election Of the State ticket
and majority of both branches of the
Legislature Such consequence of the
late Republican State convention is to be
desired by every true Republican, whether
he be in or Of the State of New York, or
located at the National Capital.

A GERMAN EDITOR. who has recently crossed
the Atlantic amused himself in making scirn.
tfc observations on board the steamer. A
bottle of champagne was let down into the
deep and when it was pulled up it contained
nothing but sea water, although the cork was
still imbcddcd in the neck Of the bottle, with
the fastcnings unhroken. This was owing to
the sea water being pressed in through the
pores of the glass. 1t may be here remarked
that large quantities of champagne suffer the
same pressure in this locality, and without tho
aid of sea water

of these gen tlcmcn to violent measures, and

In Madras T7,,OOO persons are employed upon
what are called "rclicf works"-that Is, work
that the Government offers for the purpose of
permitting starving persons to earn some
bread In addition to these, 1,5l3,OOO persons
are gratuitously relieved. In Bombay the
number on the relief works is $50 900. and the
number who have gratuitous support is 1Ss, 900.
Tho Indian Government and British pri-
vatc charity arc doing much to alleviate the
horrors Of the situation. The fund raised In
London under the auspices Of the Lord Mayor
has already reached the sum of S665,OOO; and
It is estimated that the total outlay that will
be required from the Government of India
will be S50OO0,OO0. II one half of this sum
had been spent in past years In opening rail-
way communication through the afflicted dis
tricts, and in constructing irrigating canals

THE discovery Of the two moons Of Mars

Of the most rcmarkablc prophecies in the his

an inhabitant Of Sirius, rushes through space,
accompanied by an inhabitant Of Saturn. On
their journey they arrive at the planet Mars,
which, as we know, Is five times smaller than
our little globe. They and two moons rcvolv-

the observations Of our astronomers. I know
well that p. CAsTxL will writc, and that quite
humorously, against the existence of these
moons, but leave II to those who reason by
analogy. Thcsc good philosophers know we'll

from the sun, to get along with less than two

years ago. There Is nothing new under the
