"The low tax element, re-
proachfully styled repudiation-
lists, are endeavoring to bring
the party back to the fundamen-
tai principles of right and JUS
tice, and they will succeed.
The high tax element of the
party, then, will either have to
faH into line with the great
mass of the Democratic voters,
WHO are coptepding for ;-stice
and right, or seek some alliance
outside of their party organiza-
ton. ."-NashuiUe Banner.
Every Democratic Conven-
ton for the last eight years has
declared that a forty cents tax
was just right, and that they
were willing to pay that much,
and yet, when a close estimate
was made by the Comptroller,
and SO communicated to the
Legislature then in session, that
a thirty cents tax, with the 9TH
er known sources of revenue,
would be enough to maintain
the public credit, and pay the
interest upon a compromised
debt of fifty cents in the dollar,
it was veted down. We would
like for some one to tell us what
''high tax" is and what is Glow
tax" We suppose that they
mean that any tax is high, and
no tax is low. Is that the Eng
lish of it? But it is comlcal to
hear the repudiationists talking
about "bringing back" the par
ty to fundamental principles of
right and justice" One Of the
first fundamental principles Of
all honest governments, wheth-
er Democratic or Kingly,- is to
act honestly and not borrow mon-
ey and then shrink out OF pay

A SUMMER DAY

A SUMMER DAY.
Deep down beside the tangled sedge,
The meadow lark sings all the day.
And bursts at times from out the hedge
The mimic chatter Of the Jay;
And here and there wandering note,
A crickets chirp, comes sweet and clear
Where dreamy mists of Summer float
At noon upon the grassy mere.
Afar away below the hill
/ see the noisy mill-whecl go,
The smooth, broad lake above the mill,
The flash of foam that rolls below
And ON the even slopes that rise
So gently toward the mountains brow,
The cattle watch with sleepy eyes,
The lazy ploughboy at the plough.
My soul is sleeping, and its dreams
All sad AID sweet that dreaming thrills
For there are other Wales and streams
And other focks on other hills
The hills whereon | climbed to pull
The golden rods and weeds of May,
When all the world was beautiful
And all my life Summer day.

wish to be. The forehead Of
the corpse was exactly like bis

The body wouldn't vary in
weight five pounds from the
weight of his own. The clothes
Of the inanimate person were as
much his own as if he had worn
them himself. "Vot ish de gol-

Of DR.. Ainbaugh. The doctor
turned up the corpse's eyelids
and found that the eyes were

A point Of unusual attraction
is the Grand Cafe upon the
Boulevard des Capucines, ccr-
ner of Rue Scribe, the largest
and most magnificent cafe in
Paris, and probably in the
world. The general effect from
the opposite side is dazzling;
the rooms are a blaze of light.
1t is said that 1000 persons
congregate here at night to
drink coffee, cognac, absinthe,
and peruse the leading journals.
The decoration and furniture of
this cafe has cost nearly a mil
lion of francs. It's main attrac-
ton is perhaps the exquis-
ite painting ofthe ceiling execu-
ted by artists of no less merit
than Boulanger and Dulaney.
A group of bacchantes and fauns
on the ceiling of a drawing
room, which measures thirteen
metres in circumference is a
work of artistic merit which
might be envied by any art col
lector. Upon the side walks,
in front of the cafe, which are
about thirty feet wide, and COW
cred with asphaltum, like the
streets, are arranged small ia
bles and neat fancy chairs, made
of iron; these are occupied, up
on pleasant evenings, by per-
sons of both sexes, regaling
themselves with ices, etc. The
effect of this large crowd both
within and without the cafe,
the profuSion of gas lights, the
members Of which seem doubled
and quadrupled by reflection
from the immense mirrors on
The walls, combine to produce a
scene of unusual brilliancy and
gaiety. &. A. 5.

Gently found by some young
men on the bank of a secluded
stream near Dayton, Ohio, neat
ly arranged in pile. The own
er not being visible, the idea of
suicide at once suggested itself,
and this theory was strengthened
by the discovery in a pocket of
the dress of tender and touch
ing love-letter addressed to "My
darling" The clothes were ia
ken and delivered to the police.
The next day a young lady Of
Dayton, accompanied by some
friends, appeared at the police
headquarters and claimed the
garments, explaining that she
was bathing in the stream at a
little distance from the point
where they were discovered,
and that she could not conyen-
iently prevent their removal.
The clothes were returned.

Special Correspondence of MeOBsERvRR
w WAsHINGToN,D. c., Aug. 2, RS
Among the recent remarks
Iof General Grant in Europe,
duly served up here, is one that
is very complimentary to Ben.
Butler as a general, a statesman
and citizen. Gen. Butler has
promptly responded by saying
that Grant was not only our
greatest soldier, but in civil
capacity showed the highest
order Of ability. A little while
ago Butler had in print, though
he did not publish it, a pamphlet
in which he attempted to show
and believed that he did show
that Grant was a blunderer and
butcher as soldier, and wholly
unfit, by reason Of ignorance
and incorporate habits, for civil
employment. Will some one
find copy of that pamphlet
and will some Boswell reproduce
the table and bottle talk of Grant
about Butler? Both of them
wish to be President. Grant
thinks he alone can be elected
by the Republican party, and
Butler believes that the coun-
try In the agony and delirium
of giving birth to a new party
may mistake him for a states
man and an honest man. Of
course, they ssre doomed to dis
appointment, but the publica
ton just now of the honest O
pinions they entertain of each
other would have a good effect
upon people who do not under
stand them both.
A Maine Republican Conven-
tion has about the same relation
to Blaine that the tail has to a
dog. If the Senator had made
a violent greenback speech in
the Convention held at Portland
the other day, nine-tenths of the
delegates would have applauded
him as heartily as ever. He
happened, however, to alight on
the hard money side of the fence
and the applause came all the
same. Two-thirds of the voters
Of the State dislike and distrust
the man, but the other third

yentions.
Unless sooner called togther
by the Chairman, the Potter
Committee will not meet again
until August 18th. Then wit
nesses from the South will be
examined, and the preparation
of the report commenced. The
House, it will be remembered,
voted that the title of Mr.,
Hayes to the PRESIDENCY was
sacred, and, in effect, that that
title would not be affected if 1T
was shown that he was not really
entitled to the vote of a single
State, SO that whatever the
Committee has proved or may
hereafter PROVE. unless it fur
nishes ground for impeachment,
will not disturb the Admins
tration. But after the publica-
tion. of the Committees report /
do not believe that all honest
and we'll informed man will as
sert that Hayes was entitled to
the vote OF Louisiana or FLORIDA.
What little labor troubles we
had in Washington last week
were settled summarily by the
police. Absurd prominence was
given them by the Associated
Pressreports. The chief spokes-
man of the supposed disorderly
class paid his fine of five dollars
and is again speaking in the
streets. The laboring men of
Washington, white and black,
are as orderly as any in the
world. A year ago, when Pitts
burg and Chicago were red with
fire and blood, the laborers here
were as hungry as any, but en-
Iirely peaceful. AUSTIN.

The Trenton Mirror says:
Col. John III. Savage is making
poor headway in his efforts to
reach the Gubernatorial Chair
by haranguing the people upon
the State debt. His arguments
although in support of a good
cause, are unworthy of the
merest shyster and proves him
unsuited to the high position
to which he aspires. A poor
argument Injuries a good cause,
and if Col. Savage can not
show better reasons for wishing
to be Governor than he has
hitherto done, he had better ree
tire to his mountain Businesses,
and wait for something to turn
up. He insists that every dol
lar of the State debt is unjust
and was created in violation of
the constitution, yet he is III IA
vor of paying one-third of /.
Why this generosity to the,
bondholders5 If We owe no
part Of the debt why tax the
people to pay iarthirg of it?
We either owe the debt or we
do not owe it. If the former,
then it is only a question of a.
bility to pay. Col. Savage's
argument that State bond is a
bill of credit is too absurd to be
considered for a moment, and
we are astonished that lawyer
of any standing at all, would
make it. Col. Savage has failed
to impress even the low tax
men who have heard him.
