THE DEMOCRATS DIsGRACED.

During the past ten or twelve
years the Democrats have found in
the New York Sun an independent
| and impartial advocate. The fol-
lowing scorching editorial on the
policy of the Democratic party in the
East, which we copy from the Sun
Of the 10th instant, will therefore be
read with some surprise by all who
look to that paper for their political
pabulum:
It is not beaten alone that the
Democrats are on the whole in the
recent elections; they are disgraced
also. They had two positions
natural for them to take which were
impregnable. One was the obser-
vance of Constitutional provisions
for the election of President and Vice
President; the other was the sound
doctrines of a gold basis for the cur
rency. They abandoned both. They
surrendered all principle, and withal
we're ANONYMOUSLY beaten, as they
ought to have been. We do not say
the Republicans merited success, but
the Democrats certainly deserved the
defeat they have sustained. How
will it be in this State7 Tammany

The PhiIOsOph1c View of Death.
Cornhlll Magazine.l
There is a great deal Of very vile
nonsense talked upon both sides Of
the matter; tearing divines reduc-
ing life to the dimensions of a mere
funeral procession, so short as to be
hardly decent; and melancholy un-
believers yearning for the tomb as
if it were q world too far away.
Both sides must feel a little
ashamed of their performances now
and again when they draw in their
chairs to dinner. Indeed, a good
meal and Q bottle of wine is an
answer to the most standard works
upon the question. When o mans
heart warns to his viands, he for
gets a great deal Of sophistry, and
scars into 0 rosy zone Of contem-
plation. Death may be knocking
ut the door, like the Commanders
statue; we have something else in
hand, thank God, and let him
knock. Passing bells are ringing
all the world over; all the world
over, and every hour, some one
is parting company with all his
aches and ecstasies; for us also the
trap is laid. But we arc 60 fond
of life that we have no leisure to
entertain the terror of death. 'Tis
a honeymoon with us oil through,
and none of the longest. Small
blame to US if we give our whole
hearts to this glowing bride Of ours,
to the appetites, to honor to the
hungry curiosity Of the mind, to
the pleasure Of the eyes in nature,
and the pride of our own nimble
bodies. We all of us appreciate
the sensations; but aS for caring
about tho permanence Of the pos
sibility, a mans head is generally
very bald, and his senses very dull,
before he comes to that. Whether
we regard life as a lane leading to
dead wall-a mere bags end, as
the French aay--Or whether we
think of it as a yestibule or gymna-
SUM, where we wait our turn and
prepare our faculties for some more
noble destiny; whether we thunder
in a pulpit or pule in little athe.
istic poetry books about its vanity
and breyity; whether We look
justly for years Of health and
Yigor, or are about to mount into
o bath-chair, as s step toward
the hearse; in each and
all Of these views and situations
there is but one conclusion posi-
BILE; that u man should stop his
ears against paralyzing terror, and

had long coats suitable to the cOun-
tries in which they had been bred,
and this coating often interfered
with rapid exertion. Here the
horses in training have donned their
summer costume, and Mollie is now
the possessor of as silken and shin
ing garment as the proudest belle
who promenades Kearney street
can show.
These predictions of all sorts of
evils, when pushed from the wealth
er conceit, fall back on the previous
record OF the two and claim that
our home paragon, the swan of the
Pacific, will turn out a crow when
pitted against the pride Of Ken
lucky. 1t is no use to tell them
she has never lost a heat, as they
will respond with the answer that
she has never beaten anything which
could lay claim to the name Of a
race horse. To leave out the horses
she has beaten, which have only
run in California, she has met what
was claimed to be the best three
year-old Of his years in Kentucky,
and beaten him as easily as the
others. This is Bazaar, which ran
Aristides so close in the fastest two
and half miles ever run, 4:271, at
Lexington, and two days before
Aristides had beaten Ten Brock.
The same day Bazaar ran a mile and
a quarter in 2:001, which was only
a second slower than the fastest,
and had rightly gained a high rep
utation. Then Mollie has beaten
Lady Amanda whenever they came
together, and Lady Amanda also
beat Bazar. Council Bluffs beaI
Bill Bruce and Bob Woolley two
miles in Chicago in 1917, and both
Of these stood high. He ran the
two-mile heat race at the same
place, where he captured the "threC
in fve," beating Jack Handy, Ba.
zar, Vicksburg, and Kilburn.
Council Bluffs met Mollie in {
two-mile-heat race at Sacramento
(this was her iavorite distance). II
the first he did not run, just drop
ping inside OF the flag, and.in tht
second heat, with all the Other
horses to help him, he was beateI
badly. Matte A. was brough
from the East with high expecta
tions of those who had seen her rur
there. Carrying 113 pounds, sh
ran at Saratoga in 1:45, and sh
beat imported Yorkshire Lass, In
spiration, and Rhadamanthu
three-q quarters of mile. Rhada
manthus is considered as fast
horse as there is for that race, an,
Inspiration is also one Of the speed
lest. Mollie not only beat Matti
A., but others Mollie had beatel
also beat her. 1t is idle to say tha
she has never met good horses, an,
those who make the claim ar
ignorant of what they are talking
about. She has won thirteen race;
from a dash of mile to heats G
four miles, in LAB, the fastest tim
} made in California, and how muc
faster she can go can only b
known when she meets somethin
which can keep her running tn
whole Of the race.

SAILING oil the LiDeriRn COlOnfsts.
CHARLESTON, S. g., April 21.-
The negroes of Charleston have
been intensely excited for several
days past in the hourly expectation
of the sailing Of the bark Azor,
with the first load of emigrants
sent to Africa by the Liberian Ex-
odus Association. Various circum-
stances, however, have delayed her
departure, the main impediments
being the want of cash, and the
propensity of the blacks, despite all
the precautions of the custom Off
GERS, to crowd a larger number of
passengers between decks than the
law allows. The task of examin-
ing the ship and landing surplus
emigrants was performed no less
than three times, aud it was
not until a guard was put aboard
by the collector that the bark
could be kept in condition to be
properly cleared. Yesterday, how
ever, all arrangements we're
completed, aud about 8 o'clock this
morning the Asor was being towed
out to sea by the tug Wade Hamp-
ton, being accompanied to the bar
by two barber steamers crowded
with black excursionists, while the
whole battery and wharyes were
thronged with thousands OF re-
groes, shouting and waving hats
and handkerchiefs, as the bark bore
out to sea, The Az0f carries S50
passengers, about one-lifth OF whom

are young children. The crew, as
we'll as the passengers, are negroes.
Only about four white men are
aboard, being Captain HOLES and
his two mates, and Alfred B. Will
liams, special correspondent of the
News and Courier, who goes out to
chronicle the adventures Of the lit
tie colony on the trip, and, after
their arrival, their destination in
the interior of Africa.

How q Young Husband Got WeRnod
from His Oups.

A young wife in Michigan had
just got settled in her home. All
seemed fair and promising, for she
did not know that her husband was
a drunkard. But one night he
came home at very late hour, and
much the worse for liquor.
When he staggered into the
house, the wife, who was greatly
shocked, told him he was sick and
to lie down at once, and in mo-
ment or two he was comfortably
settled on the sofa in a drunken
sleep. His face was reddish pur-
pie, his breathing was heavy, aud
altogether he was a pitiable look
ing object.
The doctor was sent for post
haste, and mustard applied to his
feet and hands. when the doctor
came and felt his pulse and exam
ined, and found that he was only
drunk he said:
"He will be all right in the
morning"
But the wife insisted that he was
very sick, and that the severest
remedies must be used.
" You must shave his head anC
apply blisters," she urged, cor
will send for some one who will"
The husbands head was accord
ingIy shaved closely and blisters ap
piled. The patient lay all night il
a drunken sleep, and notwithstand
ing the blisters were eating into tht
flesh, it was not until near morning
that he began to beat about dis
turbed by pain.
About daylight he walked up to
most uncomfortable consciousness,
of blistere1 agonies.
"What does this mean?" he said
J putting his hand to his bandage(
: head.
"Lie still; you mustn't STIR" sait
the wife, "you have been very SICK
81 am not sick"
"0h yes you are; you have braiI
fever, We have been working will
: you all night"
al should think you had," groan
ed the poor victim. "What's tn,
matter with my feet?"
"They are blistered."
"Well | am better now; take of
the blisters," he pleaded piteously
He was in a most uncomfortable
, state-his head covered with sores
: and his hands and feet were still
worse.
: "Dear," he said groaning, "If
should ever get sick in this wa
again, don't be alarmed and senC
for doctor, and above all, dom
blister me again"
ooh, indeed | will-all that saved
you we're the blisters, and if yol
S ever should have eanother such spell
| should be more frightened thar
l ever, for the tendency, | am sure il
: apolexy, and from the next attaol
you will be very likely to die unles
s there were the seyereSt measures
] used"
He made no further defense
suffice it to say he never had anoth
! er attack.

HospithDie deyond her means
CharlOttesV lie (Va,) Chronicle
A clergyman, travelling in the
mountains of. West Virginia, put
up for the night at the house Of a
pious old lady, who never refused
to entertain strangers, lest haply an
angel might be turned from her
doors unawares. Shortly after his
arrival supper was announced, and
the old lady, after a blessing had
been invoked, began to rattle the
cups and saucerS, preparatory to the
matronly ceremony Of pouring out
and handing the hot coffee. It was
customary to make the inquiry,
and, therefore, the good dame, with
gracious smile, inquired of her
guest:
+" Do you take sugar in your'n ~
off you please" replied the hun.
cry and thirsty evangelist; "and
I'll be obliged if you make it tol.
erably sweet"
The old lady began to twist il
her chair, adjust her spectacleS, anC
look searchingly around the table
She dipped the spoon desperately
in the blue china sugar bowl, bul
it ratified ominously against the
sides of the empty vessel. At las
she summoned courage to tell the
truth. With admirable pluck ant
candor she ope2ed her mouth anC
spoke, and the words that reached
the ear Of her guest were these
Stranger, we hain't it."

Mr.. Rainey, the colored Congressman
from South Carolina, who distinguished
himself by keeping sober the last days Of
the session. claims that at fair election at
which every man entitled will be allowed to
vote, the Republicans can carry every Con-
gressonal district in the state. But fair
election is what the state has not had since
the organization OF the rife clubs, and is
not likely to have for some years to come.
Mr.. Rainey explains the method Of the
Hamptonites in municipal election in a
town in his district:
1.-THE Republicans had large majority al
though by intimidation or some of the other dark
ways known to Southern politics, the democrats
had carried the previous election and were in
possession Of the offices Intimidation would not
work again, and to be successful the democrats
were compelled to hit upon new device. The
state law requires the ballot-boxes TO be opened
not earlier than six o'clock in the morning and to
be closed not later than six o'clock in the evening
of election day; but the charter Of the town put
further limit on the time OF voting by fixing the
hour at eight o'clock before which the boxes
should not be opened. The authorities on the
day in question opened their ballot-boxes at a
quarter Of an hour before the time fixed in the
town charter then threw out the entire vote OF
the town on account of this informalty and
quietly settled themselves in their offices for
another term OF two years.
There being no white leader like Stephens
to1head rebellion against the democracy,
it is probable that the Republican party
will be swinded out of the South Carolina
delegation. The white clubs are organized
all over the state, and by fraud and force
the election will be carried by the democracy
