mixed aiialr, made up Of discordant elements
which give It a mongrel character. A ma

that he so shortly before condemned. John
son didn't change. Ever since then Evarts
mas been hanging loosely on the edges of both
parties. Carl Schurz was President of the
Liberal Convention Of 1872, which nominated
Greeley IN opposition TO the Republicans and
was very liberal in his denunciations of lead
ing men and measures of the Republican
party. Mr.. Devens is a sortof a nondescript,
bat as far as he can be defined was about
half-and-half Liberal and Democrat Mr..
hey was conspicuous in nothing save his de.
moeracy and his efforts to destroy the gov
eminent. To call thepresent Administration
Republican is violation of the truth. An
Administration that antagonizes the ablest
men and leading papers of the Republican
party, and courts and receives the fattering
adulations of the most violent partisans Of
Democracy, cannot be loyal to the principles
or representative men of Republicanism.

EATEN BY Sow-The Louisville
Courier-JouRal says:-At Sunny Point
Pamela county, Texas, on Monday last, two
negro children, one an infant, the other
about > years of age, were killed and eaten
by sow. The parents left the children in
the care of girl Z years of age, and while
the girl was playing in the yard the sow en-
tered the house aud seized the infant, lying
in the cradle, and dragged it out and killed
1t. But before assistance could reach the
house the sagacious animal had killed the
infant and ate its brains out, and had at
tackled and eaten off leg and arm of the
oldest child. The latter lived some five
or six hours after the horrible occurrence.

England and Russia.

Advices from Europe indicate that a
congress Of sThe Powers win shortly
convene at Berlin, and that the San Ste
fano treaty between Russia and Turkey
will be modified BY the congress, and that
thus war between England and Russia
viii Be ayerted. Count Schouvaloff, the
Russian representative in England, is cred
tied with having effected the arrangement
during his recent mission to the Gar, at
the instance Of England. The idea is also
set forth, by those who do not believe in
a peaceful settlement Of the difficulty, that
a congress Of the Powers does not neces-
sarily mean peace. The opinion seems to
be held, by such persons, that the changes
demanded by England in the treaty viii
be 50 sweeping as to cause Russia to refuse
to assent to them, as derogatory to her
interests and her honor. Which Of these
views is correct, time alone can determine.
BOtk powers may submit to some mOdi6ca-
ton of their demands, and negotiation may
finally cad the controversy without war.
This would seem now to be the most pro-
bable result

have actually passed a resolution in one
of their cOncIayes to reprimand Mr. Reul

Port Tobacco Times.-Rainy days are poker
days in Port Tobacco. Court is now in ses-
sion and business is dull, very dull.
Yes, and business will continue to be
dull as long as men will idle away their
time by playing poker. The stagnaut pool
of village life will rarely be stirred by the
breeze of industry where men resort to the
card-table instead of the workshop. Idle
ness tends to vice. This is demonstrated,
if demonstration were needed, by the jour
nal above quoted, for it says:
Mint julips before dinner and lager as post
prandial qualifer are the popular things now
in Port Tobacco.
There is little prospect of prosperity in
any community whose citizens are given
to cards, mint juleps and lager Business
will continue to be "dull, and things will
grow from bad to worse. Such commu-
nifty is entitled to commiseration that it is
not actuated by higher and nObler aims.

Mexican raids, Indian wars, possible
railroad strikes and threatening commu-
nism, are all seized upon as pretexts for
an increase of the army. That the several
States have not the power to put down
mobs and labor strikes is sheer assump-
ton. That the General Government should
keep a standing army to do such service
for them, is a perversiOn of the uses of
the army, and dangerous experiment.
The police, backed if need be by the mill
tia, is sufficient for the purposes of order.
If the militia in Maryland and Pennsyl-

PENNSYLVANIA PLATFoRM-The De-

declare That the Republican party, its
measures and its men are responsible for
the financial distress, the misery and want
that now exists. It has had control of
the legislation Of the country and has
enacted and perpetuated policy that has
enriched the few and impoverished the
many. It's system Of finance has been one
Of fayors to moneycd monopoly, of unequal
taxation, of exemption of classes, of high
rates Of interest and Of remorseless con-
traction, which has destroyed every enter
prise that gave employment to labor. Its
present hold upon Federal power was Sc
cured BY fraud, perjury and forgery. Its
laws are unjust aud its practices are i'm
moral They distress the people aud de-
stroy their substance The only remedy
for these cvils is in an entire change Of
policy aud the reinforcement of those in
