Political Points.

New York Express: The "solid
South is wormwood and gall IN the
cup of republican rejoicing. The
people in that section know too we'll
what republican rule means and
ends in to tolerate it.
Boston Post: Although Talbot
has, by aid of democratic votes.
secured his election, in Boston his
party is found in large minority.
Adding together all thrown against
him, and counting them as demo.
Gratis, the figures show that the city
is largely democratic. Remember.
ing also that many democrats voted
for Talbot in order to render But
ler's defeat in the State certain, the
republicans have little ground for
feeling elated in this locality.
Courier Journals: Secretary Sher-
man and hts "honest money" re-
publican friends are rejoicing over
the reported election of a green.
back-repubican congressman in
North Carolina. John Sherrnan;,
Mr.. Hayes and the rest of them ap.
prove very highly of fiat money
men when they are republicans,
and they would like to see large
number of them elected from the
South. The hard money profes-
sions Of the republican leaderr are
as false and thin as their pretended
love of "free ballots" ......
indianapolis News: If the logic
of the elections on Tuesday means
any man for the republican presi-
dental candidate in 1880, we see
no escape from the acknowledge
ment that that man is Conkling.
The legislature which is to return
him to the senate, was voted for in
New York, and the strengh of his
personality increased the former
republican majority of eight to fif.
ty. 1t pervaded tue weli-guarded
avenues of Tammany hall, and re-
pudiated John Kelley's dictatorship
by an enormous majority. 1t means
the State which was "solid" for the
candidate two years
ago a unit for republicanisln. In
all this the contrast with Conkling's
great rival, Blaine, with a defeated
State at his back, the greater. The
man who can make New York's
votes republican has a
tremendous presumption in bis
avor.

The Next House.
New York Sun.

| New 1OIh GUN.
The returns of the election for
members of the next house are not
absolutely certain in every particu-
lar, but they are sufficiently precise
for our present purposes.
In the present house the demo
Gratis have 156 members, aud the
republicans have 137, giving the
former majority OF 10.
AT the September and October
elections the tide ran steadily
against the republicans, and they
suffered a loss of 10 members, as
compared with their numbers In
the present house. From this fact
it was reasonable deduction that
they would lose in the same ratio
in November when 240 members
were to be chosen. Had this de-
ductiOn been verified by the actual
results in November, che republi-
cans would have been in a minority
Of 80 in the next house.
But the tide turned against the
democrats, and they will barely
hold their own in the next house.
Indeed, if we count the ten or
twelve greenbackers who have
been elected, as an independent
party in the house, the democrats
will do well if they have a majority
over the combined vote of the re-
pubicans and the greenbackers.
The returns seem to clearly indi-
cate that the democrats have elect
ed this fall LAG members, the re-,
publicans 132, aud the greenback-
ers IL. California, which is enti.-
tied to 4 members, does not elect
till next September. This will COM
plete the 293 members of which the
house is composed. In the present
house, California is represented by
two democrats and two republicans,
One of the democrats however, was
seated by the house on all alleged
majority of four votes over his re-
publican opponent. If, in Septem-
Der next, California should elect
two democrats and two republicans,
the new house will stand las demo-
Gratis, to 135 republicans and IL
greenbackers, giving the democrats
"a majority of over both. How
ever, Judging from their former
political affiliations, it is safe to in
fer that s of these greenbackers
will, on mere party divisionsy vote
with the democrats, and with the
republicans. This would increase
the democrats to 156, and the re-
publicans to 137, leaving the demo.
Gratis with majority of 10, which
is precisely their majority in the
present house.
There does not seem to be much
likelihood of the choice of the next
president devolving upon the house;
lut such contingency is smong
he possibilities. In that event
,ach State would be entitled to one
-ote. There are 80 States, ma
ority whereof is 90 The recent
elections give the democrats q ma
ority in 10 States, and the republi-
ans a majority in Is States. With
california equally divided, and
therefore, unable to vote, the demo
rats would have a majority of one.
Sut if that State should elect three
epublicans in September, the dem
cratic States would number 10 in
he house, and the repsblican
'tates 1o-a tie.

An Explanation.

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss, Oct. I2, 1878.
Editor Demociat-Star:
In youI issue of the 18th of Octo.
Der your correspondent at Hands.
boro, Mississippi, SAYS that there
was no white Protestant minister
at that place during the epidemic
to minister consolation, etc. Now
please permit me to state various
why's. First, Rev. Mr.. Hamberlin
left prior to the appearance of the
fever in search of health, and was
prevented from returning Git he had
so desired) by the quarantine. The
Rev. Mr.. Bingham, who resides at
Moss Point, pastor at that place
and at HandsOoro, was prevented
from travelling from one to the
other place from tue same cause. |
presume he preferred to remain and
minister to the church and com
munity where his family resided.
The writer was pastor of Hands
boro mission, embracing Hands
boro and seven churches in the
back country; his family reside at
Ocean Springs, where the fever had
already commenced; the members
at Handsboro and at the other
seven churches were unwilling to
receive his ministrations if he CON
tinued to visit his family. Under
this stress of circumstances, and
to suit all parties and keep up the
work, the presiding elder (the
proper authority ordered Rev. w.
w. Hopper, a single man, to take
charge of the Handsboro mission
and the writer to take pastoral
charge of Ocean Springs and Bi-
loxi temporarily. We Immediately
exchanged. Mr.. Hopper preached
but once in the town OF Handsboro,
when the seven congregations in
the country notified him that if he
continued to go to HandsborO that
his ministry would not be accept
able, neither could he visit their
hence he reluctantly gave
up his monthly appointment in
town that he might be acceptable to
seven churches in the country, so
the writer, though released from
all pastoral responsibility at Hands
boro, so soon as apprised of the ex-
istence of fever at Handsboro,
wrote to a friend whose family were
all down, that although our heart,
hands and strength were taxed to
their utmost here at Ocean Springs
that if our services were needed to
let us know, and we would come
and received answer
that they were supplied with doc
tors, nurses and medicines, and |
that in view of our age and feeble. |
ness, and the impracticability of |
having religious services, that we
had better not expose Ourself un-
necessarily; hence we are still at
Ocean Springs doing whatever our
hand tindeth to do.
Now we hope with these explana-
lions that no person will misunder-
stand your correspondent as accns-
ng the pastors of witul neglect.
is unfortunate in not
having a resident minister, and l
I'm glad that your correspondent
ieelS it to be such, but we very sci.
lom appreciate blessing until we
ire deprived of it, for it is happy
hing to have man of God even
o walk our streets, more particu-
arly to minister in holy word and
but when God in His
withdraws his servants
rom community it is to them a
ad calamity and should be an ad-
Donition. 1t is unnecessary to say
vho is to blame that there is no
esident white Protestant pastor in
Iandsboro. Yours, fraternally,
j. NICHOLSON.

The whipping Post.

At New Castle, Saturday morning the
first installment of the May term of whip
pings was disposed of by the sheriff. The
work was done just after the opening of
court, and as the centre of interest was in
the Thomas murder trial, the court room
was crowded, while very small audi
ence witnessed the whippings. The
Sheriff performed his painful duty in a
conscientious manner, just sufficient to
let the prisoners know the meaning and
intent of the law, without being brutal
One man afterwards said. in speaking of
his punishment, that "Sheriff Grubb was
a gentleman sure" Another sad, in re-
sponse to a question as to how hard he
had been thrashed, "Well boss de nine

which might have proved fatal to the

In coming down Tatnall street, the
horses got beyond the control of the
driver. Mr.. Stout, the regular driver
being off, and when he turned the cor
ner OF Front and Tatnall streets, the
horses were on a full run, and making q
short curve the engine was lifted of OF
one side, and threw one of the persons
who was on the tender of. One inch more
and the engine would have turned COM
pletely over. and it Is hard to say what
would have been the consequences, al
the engine would have been thrown upon
pile OF building stone which Was lying
in the street, and the driver being strap
ped in his seat it would have perhaps
killed him, and the horses too. AS il
was the engine was badly strained and
one of the hind wheels broken.

Fire Alarm.

The alarm of fire about three o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, was caused by the
accidental blowing of the steam whistle
(which had become derangedl at Walton
Whann 81 Cos phosphate mill. The fire
department promptly responded, and
some of the engines were taken clear to
the mill before the mistake was dlscov-
cred.
When the companies were returning,
a fight between two boys created consld-
cradle excitement, and caused many per-
sons to think that the feud between the
Washington and Fame companies was
about to break out into open hostiht1es.
This feeling was afterwards intensified
by two young men, claiming to be cham
pions for the respective companies, VINO
came along Front street swearing at ana
threatening each other, and who finally
agreed to go down to the foot OF Thorn
street and fight it out. They repaired to
the designated locality, followed by a
large crowd but at the last moment de-
cided not to fight each other, to the great
disgust of many who had come down
supposing they would see a first class
combat.
The crowd then returned to Second
street and clustered in the neighborhood
Of the Fame Hose house, supposlng, IRON
some underlined reason, that fight woulc
occur there. The crowd was so grea
that the police made an effort to clear II
away, but were unsuccessful but as thu
minutes rolled on and no indications OF ;
| fight were apparent, people began to ge
tired of standing, and the crowd sool
dispersed.

Alleged Pauper Immigrants

The New York Times says the gov
ernments of several foreign countries
have repeatedly been complained OF by
the New York commissioners of emigra-
ton for attempting to get rid Of their
paupers by shipping them to this coun-
try. Recently a party that seemed to
be of this class arrived at New York
from Moutier, Switzerland, consisting OF
four men, two women and five children,
but in advance the commissioners had
been informed of their coming, and that
they had been sent away by the author
tiles, who desired to get rid of them be-
cause they were unwilling to work and
were troublesome. Upon their arrival
they were questioned as to the manner
of their emigration, and, while they all
admitted their passage-money had been
advanced by the authorities, they denied
they were entirely destitu.e. The secre-
tary of the commissioners Is clear in the
opinion that the Swiss government is
helping a great manv destitute persons
to reach America, and that the author
tiles will have to take precautions to pre-
| vent them from doing so.

PLANTATION MANNERS
From the Baltimore Gazette.

Not long ago it was the habit of the
northern papers to hold up every case of
rudeness or violence on the floor of Con-
gress, in which southern men were con-
cerned, as fair specimens of "plantation
manners" If southern man was restive
1t in any way, the "chivalry" immedia-
tely became the target of pointed re-
Duke or caustic wit. And yet we have
found none of those virtuous journals
prompt to rebuke the interchange of in
civilities between two republicans who
represent in part the polite and cultivated
city of Philadelphia. Mr.. O'Neil and
Judge Kelley disagreed as TO some pre-
liminary motion upon the tariff bill. Mr..
O'Neil began by calling Judge Kelley an
| "egotist." Judge Kelley hurled back the
word "blathersdte," thus bad began,
but worse remained behind. One of the
honorable members said, "You must mis-
represent your constituents" The other
| replied, "When ] become your dog, Pll
wear collar al wouldn't have such a
puppy as you are" "Ifyou ever speak
to me again I'll slap your face" "You
may go to h !, that's where you may go
to"-thus the contest went on. If this
had been a contention between "con-
federate bngadiers" they would have
been ikened to two overseers on a SOU
thern plantation. Long and ponderous
lamentations would have editorially men-
TONED the lowered tone of Congress due
to the entrance of southern members
Perhaps the northern pulpits would have
rung with it. But it was nothing of the
kind. 1t was a disagreement between
two republican statesmen upon a ques.
ton of national policy. 1t has therefore
to large extent been ignored by. the
leaders of northern sentiment, and those
Journals that has treated it have regarded
it as an excellent joke, and have treated
it with light banter. 1t is not our purpose
to speak of it in terms of censure its OBJ
ljectio nable nature is too evident to need
more than mere mention. We certainly
have no wish to hold it up as a sample OF
northern manners, as contradistinguish
ed from plantation manners.

CONGRESS Saturday.

The United States Senate was not in
session on Saturday, having adjourned
from Friday until to-day. In the House
the session was occupied in the discus
sion of the bill to regulate interstate
transportation by railroad, and to prohi-
bit unjust Determinations by common
carriers, the principal objections urged
against the bill peing that its meaning
was buried away in such mass of YER
biage as to render il almost unintelligi-
BILE. An amendment to the bill was
anopted prohibiting pooling arrange
ments between railroad companies.
