Let Girls be Taught to Swim.


Among the survivors of the terrible
wreck of the Princess Alice are three
members of the same family-Mr.
Thorpe, of the Old Kent road, IL
years of age; his sister, Miss Thorpe,
who is year older than himself; and
his brother, a mere boy of 9. All
these owe their lives to the fact that
they were able TO swim. The boys, it
would seem, were somehow separated
from their sister They were both
picked up by the same boat, and
were, when it helped them from their
perilous position, swimming side by
side. The sister, who was older than
either, achieved her own safety. She
struck boldly out, and, in spite OF her
garments, the force of the tide, the
darkness of the night, and the danger
to which she cannot bnt have been
subjected by the frantic efforts of
those who were struggling around her
IN the water to catch and cling to any
object within their GRASP, succeeded
in reaching the bank. The exploit
she accomplished is, if we consider
it, almost marvellous. The tide was
rushing swiftly down; the water must
have been cold AID benumbing; the
night, as we know, was dark and fog
CIV; there were round about her all
the horrors of the scene; the "last
farewell" was rising from river to sky;
in the water the strugglers were
graphing, in their last agony, each
with each; and yet through all these
horrors she fought her way with a
calm, quiet confidence which men who
have stood under fire a.d confronted
death in other and even more sudden
shapes might wen envy her. Tie IN
cident serves once again 10 SHOW how
important, and, indeed, good it would
be if girls, as we'll as boys, were
taught to swim : London Standard

Tammany Hall.

Tammany Society, which IS So IA
nous in the political annals Of New
York City, was originally organized
for charitable purposes in May, 17T9.
It's name was derived from a Della
wale chieftain who had recently died,
being above hundred years old, and
who, for his alleged virtues, was face
tiously chosen the patron saint Of the
new institution. Secret societies, I'M
der the auspices Of st. Tammany,
were founded in Philadelphia and 9th
cr cities; but the organization fell in
TO oblivion except in New York,
where it was soon turned to account
as a political power and became the
principal instrument of the Democrat
ic party in that city. The officres and
members Of the society are still
known by the names Of aachems, saga
mores, warriors, etc, and much is said

MANHOOD AND cITIzENsHIp.

The Jackson Miss Times affords the
gratifying information that the prospects
OF the State are however, highly encourage
ing the law.abiding people are manilesting
determination TO assert their authority, to
put down the implHcabes, to wrest power
from the machine-politicians and to restore
and maintain law and order. We doubt If
there is State in this Union where
the colored man from now henceforward
will have better opportunity to develop
his manhood and citizenship than in Mis-
sissippi."
May this prove true. We hope it may
but 1t will take time and occasion and cir
cumstancc to establish its truth. So long
as the colOred man submits to the beshests
of the Southern DemoCraCy-sO long us he
surrenders his political independence
long Us he hides the emblem of his citizen
ship in a napkin and lays it carefully away,
or uses 1t only as the former Shareholder
diCtates-so long as bloody assaSsins are
pardoned before trial for fear OF irritating
the public mind by bringing them to jus
tice-the colored man may perhaps be per-
mitted to live penceably and delye on in the
development ofhis manhood and his citizen
ship as he best can in the State of Mssis-
sippi So long us he accepts the situation
Of nonentity, everything will DO serene
and lovely with the colored mans

POLITIC4L NOTES.

The only Republican appointed a trustee of
the Columbus Insane Asylum is the man Gov
ernor Bishop boards with.
FTTZHUGH LEE, man among men whose
legs are steady, will probably succeed Mr., Bev-
erly Douglas in the next Congress-.
SENATOR CAMERON, of Wisconsin, states
that it is untrue that the Wisconsin delega-
tion called on the President to protest against
Howes speech-that they are not that kind Of
men. They called simply to urge ex- Congress
man Cobb for the Regsteship, and got pretty
uncivil treatment for their pains.

THE BONDS AT HOME.

So much has been said recently about the
such dire oalamities have been prophesied
in case foreign holders should lose conf
dence in the credit of the United States and
should refuse to any longer hold our Gov
ernment bonds for investment, that one
may well be pardoned for having felt some
degree of solicitude at the announcement
that these United States bonds had been
pouring back to us from Europe in great
abundance the past few weeks.
The, bonds were to fall in price so greatly
that all savings institutions, holders OF
trust funds, &c, were to be incontinently
destroyed. Why, since there was to be no
diminution ip the rate Of interest and no
uncertainty rs TO the regular payment Of
this interest, these institutions and indi-
viduals in charge OF trust funds were to be
affected by reduction in the price of the
returned bonds of the same class which
they continued TO hold as Investments, does
not appear In fact, it has happened that
there has been no reduction in price, though
~
ply! In view of their assertion of great
redundancy of currency at present, this
ought to have been anticipated by
those who have so bitterly opposed
the so-called reconciliation of silver
but, to their jaundiccd eyes, all things por.
tended disaster, and they forgot logic, po
liticsl economy, and every principle OF
sound Judgment.
Why it should be an evil for people Il
he able to purchase and hold their own oh
legations, instead of having them held by
| foreigners and possible enemies, who nigh
be disposed, us creditors in all ages havt
been, to present them for payment ut thu
least opportune time, for the debter doe
not clearly appear. Why, especially, i
should he a disadvantage to have our ow,
citizens draw the interest and expend
here, instead of having the intcrcst-monc.
sent abroad, is also difficult to comprehend

the part of wise craftsmanship and true pa
trotism to make the load as light as poss
BILE, so that this heavy burden upon OIL
industries, this constant drain upon our rt
sources shall be so adjusted MS to bea
equally upon all CLASSES of citizens. Ho'
this can best be done is the one essenti,
problem of practical politics.
Whatever may be our theories rs to ii
legitimate province of the General Govern
ment, they must be subordnated to thi
one overmastering fact of the existence
this heavy interest-b bearing debt which is
be provided for. Yet, while this appears I
plain, the fact is that all legislation HI
been in the interest of the bond-holder on
against that of those whose laborhas to pa

ALITTLE PLAIN TALK.

The Buffalo Commercial advertiser gives
vent to the following as indicative of its
present frame of mind toward President
HAYES:
The Indifference, neglect, and total lack of
personal and political tact which have marked
his relations with the gentlemen Of the logis-
lative branch of the Government have pro-
duced a feeling Of evaporation among Repub-
licaus In Congress that is only kept within
bounds by the exercise of considerable self
control. Even the hafdozen devoted friends
| in the two Houses who still pin their faith to
! Mr.. HAYES coat-tails are too prudent to give n
| pretext for an outburst Of this feeling by try
! Ing to vniicate the President when most ex-
travagantly assailed, as he was by Mr.. HOWE.
! All the more credit is due, therefore, to the
Republican Senators for subordinating their
personal feelings to considerations affecting
/ the welfare of tho whole party.
The Republican situation to-day is curious,
| but IL is not inexplicable. The President has
no political frends-no faction or party is be-
hind him, apparently-an yet the whole
party protests against any open war upon
! him, The reason is that the party at large
has not come in contact with Mr.. HAYES.
Republicans outside OF Washington cannot
share the grievances or the exaspeTatiOn OF
| their representatives who have had personal
dealings with the Executive. II is out of the
question. therefore. to enlist any considerable
portion of the Republican party in hostile
movement against Mr.. HAYES, as long as he
adhcrcs to Republican doctrine OH all public
questions. There is nothing 10 be done but 70
keep the party true to Its principles and-wait
! If Mr.. HAYES had any tact-any of that fine
sarOir taire which distinguished LINCOLN, for
instance-hc might do wonders for the party.
Being what he is, we can only beg him TO add
as few blunders as possible to the formidable
list already scored by his singular admins,
tration.

State Of Mississippi:
Your petitioners most respectfully represent
that we were members of the grand jury of
Kemper County at the late fall term of the
Circuit Court. Under our oaths we believe
that We discharged our duty and feel that we
did it conscientiously. However we might
have been inclined to spare men, we dared not
in view of the oath we had taken and the law
as given us by the court. We felt, and feel,
that the rigid duty we were constrained to per-
form was harsh and we feel q great relief in
understanding that what we may have been
compelled to do that was harsh lies in your
power, consistently with law and right, to undo
In the wise and judiciOus exercise of your
merciful prerogative as Governor. While we
have discharged our duty fearlessly and hon.
esty, as we claim, we think we do nothing in
consistent with our action as grand Jurors; and
rs 1t is gratifying TO our feelings to do ii, we
do most respectfully and earnestly pray you to
relieve all those we were compelled to prefer
charges against concerning the riot of the Goth
of April 1877, by the iuterpOsition Of your

reasons Of the view we take Of the harshnes:

zens of Renper County, familiar with its trial,

we express to Your Excellency our firm con
yction that the granting of our petition will
accomplish more for the promotion of peace
and good order in our county than relentles,

Tossing to know whereof we speak, We know
will be irritating, producing continued excite
ment, attended with deep feeling, running

will lay our people, who long for peace ant
quiet, under such great and lasting obligations
to be law.abiding and peaceful that we expires

enough to forget or repudiate. We have con
