Oh AOutS CAVuo-DSiAlOCKats
The eastern papers take great pleas
ure in calling the people of the west
"repudiators," "bankrupts," and
Communists" whenever these dare
to differ with their older neighbors
concerning questions of public policy.
If it gives them any comfort to fol-
low this course we have nc fault to
find; it is their privilege. We have
no desire to apologize for all the fool
ish things said and done in the west,
but it will not be out of place in this
connection, to call the attention of
the eastern papers to the fact that the
west pays its debts and taxes and
thrives as well as could be expected.
Indeed, it does rather better in this
respect than the very communities
that do the most fault-finding. The
state Of Illinois, for instance, pays
moro internal revenue tax annually
than all of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania put together. The
state debt of Massachusetts in 1870,
was $27, ,l2S,l l64. In the same year
the combined state debts of Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nebras-
ka. Kansas and Texas, were but $751;
1l8,351. A circular recently sent out
by mercantile agency shows that in
1877 one in thirty-three business men
in the east had to make q settlement
or 60 into bankruptcy, while in the
west this fate overlook but one in
eighty-four. The liabilities in each
section averaged about $4,000. The
failure of one savings bank in New
ark, N. j., with deposits amounting
to 100000, entails greater loss to
its creditors than all the bank failures
of st. Louis and Chicago combined.
We might enumerate the virtuous
eastern life insurance companies that
have failed during the past two years
to make this lesson stronger, but we
forbear. Dishonesty isn't q question
of geography.

The New York Times speaks as fol.
lows Of Secretary Sherman's policy
with regard to the circulation of the
new silver dollar:
"For the time being the course OF
Mr.. Secretary Sherman in refusing
to pay out silver except for it's par
value in gold will have the effect of
absolutely neutralizing the silver bill.
That the Secretary has the power un-
der the law to do as he is doing can
not be denied, and that he is thereby
protecting the interests Of the country
is equally true. But whether he will
be able to maintain the line on which
he has entered is, to say the least,
doubtful. OF course it amounts to
simply. storing the silver in the treas
ury, for there will bo no motive for
drawing 1t out in exchange for gold.
1t is not improbable, from the present
outlook, that tho Treasury will be able
to make it's purchases OF silver bull
lion and keep up its interestpaymen
in gold until the let of January next,
the time fixed for resumption. But
it may then be obliged to use all its
coin reserve, and the supply continue
ing at the rate of s., 3,000, 600 to 4,OOO,-
600 month, the decline in the value
of silver is, in all probability, only q
question of time. Meanwhile, ii is
not reasonable to suppose that the
overwhelming majority in both
houses which passed the silver law
will stand quietly by and see the end
for which it was passed defeated.

South carolina concIliatIon.

New YORK, March 22.-A Charles
ton, S. c., despatch states that the
Liberian ship Azor was consecrated
yesterday in the presence of 5000
colored people by Bishop Brown, Of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. Several addresses were
made, all breathing missionary
spirit. Politics were not touched up
on.
A Columbia despatch says the Cen
eral Assembly Of South Carolina yes
terday, by an overwhelming vote and
in the face of q most determined op-
position on the part ofthose who may
be properly called the radical DEM
ocracy, passed a preamble and resolu-
tion directed to the conciliation of
the national sentiment of the country.
The preamble recites that "while ad-
herring steadfastlv to the determine
tion that the leaders in the system of
plunder whereby the resources of the
State were drained, shall be brought
to well merited punishment, it is not
desired that vengeance should be Wis.,
tied upon those who were but the
instruments of the master spirits"
The resolution is as follows:
Resolced, BY the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate concurring,
that his Excellency, the Governor, be
authorized and requested, in case he
deems it eXpedicnt, to instruct that an
order of nolle prosequi be entered in
any of the prosecutions brought or
which may be brought by tho State,
based upon the facts found by the
Joint Investigating Committee on
public frauds.

THE democratic members Of III

The democratic members Of the
House have held . caucus and have
resolved to make party measure OF
the Banning army bill, reducing the
military force Of the country. They
seem determined to dragoon all the
democratic members into sustaining
it. This bill has been generally char
acterized by the press Of the country
as an outrage and notably many
leading democratic papers have
strongly denounced it: prominent
among these is the Missouri Republic
an. About the last thing that de.
mocracy did before going into the re.
bellion was to cripple and destroy the
army Of the country. Rush on, gen.

It is digging your graves rapidly and

A LADY's STRANGE PETS
Two Lions In a House Living at
Peace with tho Inmates.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Most ladies choose dog, q cat, q
canary or pony for q pet, and often
"set their lives upon them" but rare
y does one hear of q lady's attaching
herself to such strange pets as the
writer saw at Mrs. Lincoln's, "a How
ard street, day or two ago. Living
in the family are . couple of lions,
twenty-one months old, brought up
by the hand Of Mrs. Lincoln. They
are African lions, a species not easily
reared in this country, but Mrs. Lin
coin has succeeded, by the exercise of
great care, in rearing them to their
present age aud size. The male
weighs about $50 pounds, and the fe-
male perhaps fifty pounds less. They
have been at the house ON Howard
street since last September, and until
within month have had the s'run Of
the place." going about the rooms
with considerable freedom. As Q
measure of caution the police thought
the creatures should be reatrained,
and their quarters are now more linn
tied than formerly, although they
have safe out door run and . room
adjoining the kitchen, with only q
strong wire door separating the
apartments. Mrs. Lincoln is as free
with her pets as ladies are with their
poodles. She plays with them; feeds
them from her hands, and has taught
them various tricks. They kiss her
at her bidding, jump through a hoop,
etc. Before the police restrictions
were placed upon them, the animals
were accustomed to walk into the
kitchen or parlor among guests, and
go back to their quarters, without Of
fering harm to any one. A year ago
the lioness used to occupy the same
couch with the lady at night, but now
she has grown full large to be taken
upon . common bedstead. The ami
mails are quite . curiosity, and, in
their gentleness, show plainly how
potent 10 the law of kindness, even

The blue ribbon is making sad hav-
.oc among the unterrified in Illinois.
Says an exchange from that State !:
'"Among the steady drinkers we no.
tice the reformation of Senator Tom
Casey Of Mt. Vernon; Tom Merritt,
of Marion; Edgar Morrison, of
Christian; "Phocion" Howard, of
Tuscola; John @. Harman, of Cairo !;
Jesse Lockhsrt, of Decatur; Senator
Archer, of Pike; Colonel Wolfe, of
Champaign, and Judge Terry, of
Danville."
The demand for bourbon must feel
this immense decrease in consump-
ton. Besides it is barely possible
that as democrats left the old party
when it launched into treason, so now
some few may be blue-ribboned
into severing their old bourbon polit-
ical affiliations.

Who Loses the Eight Cents?
From the New York Granhic

seventy or elgnty papers nave come
to hand, this week, inquiring in pa
thetic voice who it is that loses the
eight cents when O.. laboring man
takes a ninety-two cent silver piece
for a dollar. Now, this is the very
thing that has puzzled US. If car
penter receives from the government
. ninety-two cent silver piece for q
dollar and passes it on to his butcher
for dollar, and the butcher passes it
upon the shoemaker for q dollar, and
the shoemaker passes it upon his
landlord for dollar, and the land
lord passes it for dollar upon the
state for taxes, and the state passes it
for dollar upon mason for work
upon the new state-house, and the
mason passes it for dollar to mer-
chant for silk dress for his wife, and
the merchant passes it for q dollar to
the custom-house officer for import
duties, and the United States treasu-
ry passes it as dollar to soldier,
and the soldier passes it as q dollar
to the same carpenter herinbefore
previously mentioned, We are unable
to see who has lost the 8 cents. Hap
py thought-perhaps the loss fell on
some man who did not get it! SerI-
ously, the same man who lost the
cents loses 16 cents every time he
takes four silver quarters, that have
only "a cents worth of silver in them.
But even then the Scent nickels puz-
zle us; in q dollars worth Of these ia
only 10 cents worth Of metal. Now
will some Of the editors who lie
awake nights to figure such things
out please to inform us who it is that
loses the 81 cents every time dollars
worth Of nickels is passed? Who
loses 4 cents every time 5-cent piece
10 paid for q glass of lager or car
ride? The little copper cents are
even . greater robbery. We have
not the heart to 60 into . calculation
as to how many million dollars are

THERE seems to be no doubt but
that the President has continued his
commission business in the sffairs of
Louisiana to the end of obtaining the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
for the release of Col Anderson. Ger
tain it is that he has had an agent
there comforting with the authorities.
Whether this last conference and the
release of Anderson from the clutch
es of . rascally court-the rascals be-
ing on the bench and concerned in
the prosecution, rather than in the
prisoners sseat-involves any bargain,
