PARTY DIsINTEGRATION IN THE SOUTH.-Ev- idence is accommodating that the abandonment. of it's organization by the Republican party in many southern states is not equivalent to an undisputed possession of the political field by the Democrats Experience has long shown that opposition is necessary for the mainten- ance of party organization and discipline, and that when external opposition is withdrawn it will spring up within the party that remains, and will take form either as new organization CT as an independent movement under the old name. We have already seen 8 regular Dem- ocrOtic ticket defeated by independent candi- dates in a town election in South Carolina where the Republicans did not pretend to have any organization, and the Democratic journals of that state do not hesitate to confess that their greatest fear is from independent Deme- cEats. In North Carolina, where the Republi- cans have decided not to put any ticket in the held, independent Democratic candidates are already announced in thirteen counties, with probability of great many more before cleo ton day arrives. A private letter to us from Virginia says: 'You may have perceived from the Virginia newspapers that the results proph- esied in your letters on Virginia politics two month or more ago are on the eve of culminat- ing, and that there is every prospect of divis- ion of the conservative party in this state which cannot fail to have an immense effect on the tuu1pcuueut movement LhrOugnOuC the SOutn, On the political relations of the races, on the fortunes of the present administration, and so on the general politics of the country"
 We think with the writer quoted that the readjustment of party lines in the South, which has begun and which is likely to go on very rapidly during the next few years, is of vast importance. Nothing but such readiustment can enlist the best men of that part of the Un- ion in earnest cooperation for the public good. The independent movement furnishes neutral ground on which Republicans and Democrats can meet without being asked to accept ali- ances under party names which have been hate ful to them, and which will always revive bit ter memories. In their new union they can work together for the new measures which are demanded for the present and the future, and they will be very certain, if their choice of principles is wisely made, to increase their numbers until they will be themselves party whose influence may be national in it's charac- ter: Certain it is that the old parties offer very little encouragement to men who think that new times demand new measures.

 Il. T. Crandall and T. S. Daboll, of New London, have just returned from Canada, where they have been examining phosphate mine owned by G. A. Williams of the same place. The mine is situated about twenty-five miles from Ottawa the capital of Canada. The work of mining this phosphate is carried on extensively there, several mines being in suc- cessful operation, and the excitement is as great about the material as it ever was in Penn-. sylvania about the oil mines The phosphate is in seamsfn the mountain, the seams being from six inches to foot in thickness, and di- vided by lodges of rock four or five feet thick. These are blasted out and the phosphate is then knocked of in Jumps, when it is ready for shipment. The value of phosphate in Ger many is about $30 per ton, and as this costs about $10 per ton for mining, and there is about 90 per cent. of pure material in the stuff as mined, there is, evidently, millions in it. Major Williams has fortymen at work and has now 700 tons mined.

Charles Reade and Charles Matthews

 The following correspondence once took place between Charles Reade and the late Charles Matthew's
 GARRIoK CLUB,
 CONVENT GARDEN, November 28.
 Dear Sir,I was stopped the other night at the stage door of Drury Lane Theater, by peo- pie whom remember to have seen at the Ly- ceum under your reign. This is the first time such an affront was ever put upon me in any theater where have produced play, and is without precedent when an affront was intend ed As I never forgive an affront, am not hasty to suppose one was intended. It is very possible that this was done inadvertently, and the present stage list may have been made out without the older claims being examined. Will you be so kind as to let me know at once whether this is so; and if the people who stop. ped me at the stage door are yours will you protect the author of 'Gold," &c., from any repetition of such annoyance?
 am, dear sir, yours faithfully,
 CHARLES READE. To this demand Mir. Reade received next day the following answer :-
 T. R., DRURY LANE, November 29. Dear -Sir.-H ignorance is bliss on general occasions, on the present occasion it certainly would be folly to be wise. 1 am therefore happy to be able to inform you that am ig- nOTant of your having produced play at this .theater; ignorant that you are the author of 'GOld'; ignorant of the merits of that play; ignorant that your name has been erased from the list at the door; ignorant that it has ever been on it ignorant that you had presented yourself for admittance; ignorant that you had been refused ignorant that such refusal was without precedent; ignorant that in the man who stopped you you recognized one of the persons lately with me at the Lyceum; ignor- ant that the doOrkeeper was ever in that thea ter; ignorant that you never forgave an af- front; ignorant that any had been offered ignorant of when, how or by whom the list was made out, and equally so by whom it was altered. Allow me to add that am quite in- capable of offering any discourtesy to gem tleman l have barely the pleasure of knowing, and, moreover, have no power whatever to interfere with Mir. Smiths arrangements or disanangefhents and, with this wholesale ad- mission of ignorance, incapacity, and impo- tence, believe me, yours faithfully,

A PRsT OF TRAMPs IN IOwA.-Sincc noon yesterday, about six hundred more tramps have come to Davenport and Rock Island, and five hundred harvest hands have landed here, the steamer Northwestern this morning leaves tive hundred. Probably not less than four thousand tramps and harvesters have come to this section since week ago. A squad of four hundred arrived in Rock Island at o'clock yesterday, on the Chicago, Bur- ington and Quincy Railroad. While on the way near Astoria, party of thugs and thieves attempted, by intimidation, to rob them, using razOrs, knives, &c. One man was se- riOusly cut in the face with stroke of a razor and others kicked and knocked about until finally the tramps in self-defence put on the brakes, stopped the train, waited on the en- gineer, informed him of the state of affairs and requested him to hold the train until the villains Cwho had when the train stopped taken to cornfields) could be overtaken and punished. As a further precaution a guard was placed over the engineer with orders not to let the train move until the return of the pursuers. After an exciting chase the thieves were overtaken. One was shot and fatally woueded by one of the pursuers, and another killed by farmer, who, at the cry of 'sstop thief from the pursuers, blazed away, the charge crashed into the head of the thief. The remainder were overtaken and fearfully pounded. two of whom, it is reported, have since died This done the avengers resumed their journey hOmeward
 This section is being overrun with tramps and harvesters, and it is estimated that at least four thousand of these men have reached here within week. Gangs of tramps of forty to fifty each will assail a train, and compel the train men to haul them. The G. R. s. & F., and the c. R. & N. railroads are infested with muff1 nf o general thing, peaceable and law abiding, and attempt no resistance to the authorities. Our police force numbers but twelve men, yet no difficulty is experienced in controlling the crowds of idlers that lie about the streets - GincaRdfI CczagaereiaL

ANECDOTE OF PROFESSOR HENRY.-'I met him, writes Boston friend ''but once at Montreal. l noticed that this fine-looking man, when he arrived at the hotel in Montreal, was placed at the head of our table, but did not know who he was. He came home by the same route and at the same time with us, and was very kind and courteous to my travelling companions as well as myself. What I re- member more distinctly than anything else was happening at Rouse's Point while we were waiting for the steamer. The professor was talkative and communicative in his way, and was full of incidents of travel and adven- ture. Soon the steamer appeared Tn sight. and while she was approaching us the professor sat upon the wharf looking dreamily at her. Pres entity he aroused himself, and said: I see d peculiar sparkle of the waves where the sun shines upon her Git was almost sunset). I wonder what the cause of it is l? have seen phosphOrescent light before, but never exactly like this. And see there it is also upon the other, the darker side of the steamer. Well, certainly that is very curious We looked, and indeed it seemed remarkable. First upon the bright side of the steamer, and then upon the dark side, would appear these curious flashes of light. and disappear almost instantly. They seemed to come at regular intervals, and it was beautiful as we'll as strange. Our reveries were rudeiy disturbed, however, by one of the cus- toms inspectors approaching.
 Looking at them flashes ?
 "'Yes, said the professor. I wonder what they areP
 'Oh, them's hot ashes they are throwing out of the ash pits

TIL NEW PEsr.-The little, black, hairy, oval "bug" that has been discovered in resi- dences hereahouts so plentifully, eating car pets, blankets, furs, furniture and even the door, is the larva of beetle of the De72Qis- tdCe family, the most destructive group of known coleOptera, so that housewives finding blulsh-black bugs about the house. with wings plain or marked with yellow band, should destroy them, by no means letting them escape They lay their eggs in Assures and at the edge of carpets. These eggs hatch rapidly, and the beetle passes through the two stages, lar va and pupa, in three weeks, and propagate their species as rapidly as the Colorado beetle. They are less particular than the potato bug, and very much more destructive. They eat anything from library book to safety pin, and are never more serene than when perched on lump of camphor taking the fur off $50 huff. D. VUlpsnuS, member of the same fam fly, was at one time so active among the furs in the warehouses of London that SEQ, 900 was offered for an available destructive agent, without one being discovered. Housewives may save themselves deal of tr ouble by in- specting the edges of their carpets and seeing if the pests are there :; also, stuffed furniture that is kept covered. One family found them at work in their finest furniture last month, and they are now at work in many wooden carpets. They do not like benzine, but they are as happy Tn insect powder as rabbit in clover. It is the worst invader of the house. hold that has yet appeared and can do more damage in parlor suit of furniture in a week than whole army of Colorado beetles can do in a ten acre lot ill all summer. -Ncraoich Aat- r0Td.
 The President and his associates stand almost alone. Promising to introduce a fresh spirit and purer practices in the administra- ton, they have done so in part but they have enfeebled themselves by failure in some par ticulars-a failure which is the result of the adoption of the old methods of the old system. But what controlling influence have the Pres ident and his associates in the Republican party? It is probable that such success as it may achieve in the next election will enure to the bedetit of the machine wing of the party In this state, for instance, there is too much reason to fear, that the election of Republi- can majority on joint ballot in the next Leg. slature will be equivalent to the re- election of Mir. Conkling as United States Senator. We have no desire to pursue MT. Conkling personally. We mention him only as fair representative of his wing of the party. Now, whatever may be the political uncertainties, there can be no dispute about this proposition; It is impossible to stir doubtful voters to en- thusiasm in behalf of the machine e.-Neac York EUening Post.

A young and pretty girl stepped into a shop where spruce young man, who had long beeu enamored but dared not speak, stood behind the counter selling drapery. In order to re- main as long as possible she cheapened every thing, and at last she said, 'I believe you think I am cheating you" "Oh, no, '" said the youngster; ''to me you are always fair. "
 "Well," whispered the lady, blushing, as she laid an emphasis on the word, 'I would not stay so long bargaining if you were not so dear"
