Fifth avenue, corne: Thirtyfrst street. Mrs.
Ogden. who occupies the parlor floor entirely to

BONDED WAREROTSF

The United States engineers
have completed the survey of the
river, and reported it navigable to
the Mobile and Ohio railroad (by
pulling some Snags, etc. except
during the dry season of the year.
This survey has been made as the
first step toward the expeuding OF
the ten thousand dollars that was
appropriated for the Improvement
of the Pascagoula river at the last
session of congress.
As II shipping port the prospects
of P~ascagoula were never brighter,
but as a watering place it has not
had as many visitors this summer
as Cape May, in fact it has not

for the eason that some goods
may be consigned to parties to the

~CONTEMPTIRLE lotion.

The more We become acquainte,
with the doiugs OF some men tn,
tirmtr are our convictions estab
liehed in the doctrine of total de
pravity of the human race. Albeit
it is the natural prerogative o
American citizens to do as they see
fit, so longas they infringe not upon
the rights of others, it is neverthe.
less true that no man has the right
to injure, either in character or
purse, his fellow.man.
By the death OF our friend S. Ii.
Alley, late postmaster, a vacancy
was caused in the postoffice at this
place. Although the salary at
tached thereto was small, several
of II citizens desired the appoint
ment as postmaster, aud in differ.
ent ways set about to obtain the
position-some by petition with
signatures attached, and some by
using the influence of friends. This
was all ri ht and proper, and every
man in the community had the
right To get up a petition, asking
for the place, and get all the sigma
lures he could obtain. That was Il
usual custom, a perfectly legiti-
mate one, and no one surely could
object to it, and every friend of the
applicant had Il right to work for
the appointment of his choice. We
say We have often heard of this
method being employed, but when
a nan OF set Of men draw up Il pc
tition opposing the appointment Of
an honest, intelligent, enterprisiug
citizen, and one, too, who stands as
high III the community as any man
i'll it, and cIrculates it sub rosa tor
signers, we have no besitancy in
saying they have overstepped the
bounds of common decency, JUS
tice and mar!iuesS, and lay them
selves liable to the SevereSt cen
sure from all noble, high minded
citizens.
If there is any trait we admire
in mans character it is frankness
and Openheartedness. If they
would oppose any II in IA certain
let them be men enough
to come out boldly and say so, but
to secretly coucoct and circulate a
petition which is calculated to in
the character of a citizen who
is morally, socially and religlously
The peer of any man in
the community, and that, too,
false representations, as
we have been told by one who saw
this petition was the case, is be,
meath the dignity OF any gentle
man, and could only emanate, from
a low and deprayed being. Had
we been told there was IA citizen OF
this town contemplate enough to
originate such a plot we wonld
scarcely have believed it, but that
is the case we have it from
lndoubted authority. Shame upon
man whose brain could have
'uggested the idea ard pity the ,
wretch who indicted the petition.

A DISPATCH from Washington

A MONTH ago, says the Boston
Heraid, a democratic triumph in
1880 seemed absolutely certain.
Now there is no more than an even
chance for it, and both parties are
on their good behavior. The one
that makes thesfewest blunders in
the next two years will win. The
election of such men as RobesOn
will not help the republicans.
Pooling with the soft money non.
SENSE will hurt tue democrats. But
the most important thing of all,
perhaps, is the behavior Of the
Southern democrats.

REFERRING TO the establishing
of quarantine at seaport cities and
towns, the Memphis A~caldnche says
"A national quarantine law must
be passed by the congress of the
United States, because local quar-.
antines, to be enforced by each city
according to its own notions, can
not be elective. Taking il for
granted the yellow fever, like the
cholera, is "a plague imported into

IT is stated by the New York
papers that a project is on foot by
JAY Could and other prominent
capitalists to build a telegraph line
in opposition to the WeStern
Union, in which all the leading
railroads, except the New York
Central, will be interested. The
capital is to be $4,000, 900, and
lines will be built and in operation
to all parts of the country in twelve
months. Among telegraph officials
the scheme is considered i, stock
jobbin movement, but we trust it
is not the case, and that the line
will be built. The Western Union
has monopOlized the business long
enough, and an opposition line is
greatly needed.
