there are but few houses. AS the ladies ap-
preached the gate of the dwelling next theirs
the two men jumped from tree opposite and
seized them. The talleSt of them seized Miss
BrOOmall, and the other short, heavy-set
fellow, seized Mrs. Wilson. Miss Broomall
succeeded in escaping from her assailant and
ran to the house, at the door of which she
tainted. Mrs. Wilson's aSsailant seized her
and threw her violently to the ground. In
The fall she received a painful wound on the
back OF her head. The villain choked her Sc
verely, and in the struggle which ensued her
neck and shoulders were considerably lacer-
ated and bruised. The screams of his wife
and the arrival of Miss BrOOmall aroused Mr..
Wilson, who was lying in the parlOr asleep,
and rushing out with gun in hand, the desper-

COL Casey has submitted his report on the
Washington Monument to the President, VINO
Will call an early meeting Of the joint commits
sion, and lay it before that body At the re-
quest of the President the report will not be
made public until the commission has acted
upon It, 1t Is very interesting and lengthy
document The plan proposed for strengthen
ing the foundation has been given in THE
STAR. 1t is by lateral and downward exten-
siOns OF the base. By this means such addi-
tional strength can be given as will insure the
safety OF the structure raised to height of 525
feet. The report also points out the various
mistakes in the dimension data accepted as
correct, which were discovered at the begin
ming of Col. Casey's and Capt. Davis labors.
Thus instead of being about 173 feet high, as
ment's altitude is in fact only fraction Of an
inch over 156 feet. 1t has also been found that
the base does not descend as far into the
ground as it was thought it did. Other mac
curacies are mentioned in the report, and a
number of recommendations made. Among
the latter is one that the monument be run up
to 525 feet, instead of 1856 feet, and that work
be commenced as soon as possible, and carried
on until the monument is completed.

EVIDENTLY there are signs of the times that
point to Grant as a candidate for the presi-
deney in 1880. Against this Blaine is
already kicking, and he is anxious to retire
Grant on a pension so that he may be
further removed from the path of his
(Blaine's) aspirations. But it is hardly sup
possible that the people want Grant again as
president. THE people," says the Brooklyn
Eagle, "have already done more for Grant
than they ever did for anybody else, and his
size and services III history are sure to
decrease rather than increase in appearance
that is they are sure to attain to their real
value, which will be conspicuously less than
that claimed for them. The people gave
him absolute power and carte blanche on
their men and money as general, with no
questions asked. They accepted it as a
necessity that he should be magnified by the
actual victimization of several ADLER soldiers
and better men. The people then twice
elected him president and merely treated
as an infrmity, not as an iniqulty, his
patent wish to be elected a third
time. The two administrations OF which
he was the head vulgarized our
methods, lowered her reputation, enlarged
and gangrened our civil service, created
series or cOngeries of rings, the most corrupt
in our history, made the constitution of no
account, kept up disunion twice as long as
the rebellion. which had been put down, was
able to do of itself, and by a policy made
up of shoddyism, quackery, hate, lnterfsr
'ence and corruption very nearly ruined the
country. At the last, that administration
continued in power the party which elected
1T, and which the people had defeated, by
turning the government itself into a con-
'spiracy against the whole people and the
army into a strangling machine against three
states. Grit and luck brought great fame as
a soldier to Grant. As soldier he conduct
the management of the war settlements
wisely and with more elevation of spirit
than he ever showed again. As ruler he
was more than failure; ne was an injury
to his country, becoming the bulwark aud
occasion of infinitely corrupt rings and bar
'barous policies and leaving the spawn of
fraud as a legacy over all"
With such a record, aud the picture is not
overdrawn, it is hardly probable that the
radical party will again place Grant before
the country for any office, and there are a
number of radical statesmen who believe he
has been sufficiently rewarded, without Civ
ing him another opportunity to accept brides
for official favors.

THE VALUE OF MEN VS.. BONDS.

In the early dawn of the second century of
the existence of American independence the
people are confronted with problems that
ought not to have been submitted for solu-
ton for thousand years to come. With a
territory capable of sustaining population
of at least four hundred millions;
with climate unequaled; with
lands fabulously fertile, stretching
for hundreds of miles untouched by the
plow, with mines of gold and silver, iron,
copper. lead and coal that defy estimate
America ought 10 be prosperous. Besides
these benifcent endowments, America boasts
of civilization that challenges comparison
with the most advanced nations of the earth
and the monuments of her progress are ever
within sight TO the traveller from ocean.
to OCEAN and from lake to gulf. School
houses, churches and asylums are eloquent
of culture and christianity, while jails and
penitentiaries are evidences of wholesome
laws administered for the welfare of society
Instead of 100000 of population, As, 900,
600 is the accredited limit in 1878, and still
with less than one-eighth of the POPULATION
the country is able to maintain. it is con.
fronted with a condition of things so es-
sentially at war with the elementary princi-
pies of political economy as 10 startle all
thinking men With the gravity of the situa-
ton, and compels the conclusion that the
fundamental principles upon which the
government was reared have been criminally
ignored for a series of years. Taking a care
full survey Of the present state OF business
and tracing effects to causes, it is found that
legislation has for fifteen years been so
shaped as to advance the value of
bonds and depreciate the value
of men, and the more searching
the Investigation the more clearly does it
appear that aShylock policy has been so
entrenched in the legislation of the country
rs to successfully antagonizs Jehovah, and
virtually abrogate HIS decree, aud this state
OF things has been in existence until bonds
are above par. They are in demand every
where while men are not wanted at all, and
have 50 deprecated in value that certain
class Of statesmen are even nov anxious

The hotels are thronged with delegates to
the democratic state convention which naeets
at Nashville, Tenn, tomorrow, to nominate
five candidates for the supreme bench. In
point OF numbers and intellect 1t is the
most notable convention held in the state
for years There are fifteen for nomination,
five of whom are members of the present
court. The situation is too unsettled at
present for speculation as to the result.
