Said Brown to Parker: say, Parker,
what's the difference between ripe water

OF the poet Whittier, this story is told
" During the rebellion he was riding in
the cars, and met friend who had just
made contract with the government for
timber for war ships, at a navy yard. He
asked Mr.. Whittier if he thought he hud
done wrong The peace, loving Quaker
Enthusiastically replied: I" If thee has a
contract with the government to supply
timber for ships of war, thee must see 10
it that the timber is all sound" There is
said to have been distant relationship
between the poet and Daniel Webster on
the maternal side.

The Elections.

Reports of Tuesdays elections arc
still mixed; but a careful reading
shows that Iowa is solidly Republican,
as before. Indiana goes Democratic
by an Increased majority, and the
Democrats gain two or three Con-
grcssmcn. Ohio, which went heavily
Democratic last year owing to the
detection of the stalwart Republicans,
has swung back to the Republicans by
about five thousand majority, although,
the Dcmocratsgai three congressman,
victory which more than compcn-
safes for the loss Of the State ticket.
Thus far the Republicans have lost
eight members of Congress and gained
one in Colorado. AS they were in a
minority Of about twenty in the last
Congress, They arc now about thirty
four behind, for every loss makes a
change of two votes. The Grccnbacll
vote was small, and drew from the
Democratic strength.

The Radical Gam How to Meet It,

Last year when a large portion Of
the Southern press was lauding Presi-
dent Hayes as n defender Of the Con-
stitution and a sccoAd Washington,
THE NEWS AND HERALD expressed the
fear that Hayes would yet be induced
to resort to the r,sc Of deputy marshals
and troops to carry elections in the
Southern States. II hardly thought
they would come before 1880, but the
marshals arc already here, aud tnoy
torctcll the presence of troops as sure
ny as u pig with a straw in lis mouth
forctells rain. The chances Of tho
Republican party on a fair vote in tho
South are so desperate, that Hayes
has been whipped into line, while
Acknowledgement Dcvens has put out
just such letter Us Old Taft did in
1876, The Democratic House provid-
cd that tho army should not he used as
a posse comitotus, but Dcvcns inter
prcts this to mean that the army shall
not be so used unless the President
desires it, or, in other words, except
in case of Invasion, insurrcction or
riot, cntangcring tho property Of The
United States, interruption Of tho
mails cor other equo1 emergency"
In this last clause lies tho gist Of tho
whole matter, and it depends cntircly
upon the animus Of the Federal
officials and tho cowardicc of the
Democrats how literally this order is
to he construed. For instance, the
only pretext on which this remarkable
effhsion is based is that at q recent
meeting in Sumter, Sam Lee shook his
fist at Colonel Dargan and got knocked
down for his impcrtincncc. "Divid-
