The s1ns.aehu.ett. Canvass.

Our correspondent in Massachusetts,
makes an analysis of the "Buter scare" in
that State which deserves attention. He
attributes the great following General But
ler gained last year largely to dry rot in
the republican party. The contrast he
draws between the influence of Massachu-
sets men in the national councils in 1862
and 1879 certainly is remarkable, and it is
true that personal and ephemeral parties
such as General Butler has organized are
usually impossible save in periods of po-
litical decay. But Mr.. Henry L. Pierce.
the Generals most probable oppone nent this
year, seems from his record to be straight
forward man with the courage of his con-
victions. Apparently he is a republican
worthy to be classed with the leaders of
his party in it's most palmy days. His
nomination would prove that there is q
great deal of vitality in Massachusetts, re-
publicanism yet.

conciliating public opinion by taking the
public unreservedly into their confidence,
they may be provoking hurricane of pop
ular fury. This is a propitious moment
for new political questions. Most of the
old ones in the field have ripened and their
fruits been garnered. Only the sere stalks
remain, waiting for the plough to crush
them into the soil in it's preparation for
new crop. Corporate managers need to
bear this carefully in mind. 1t will not do
for them to rely merely on their wealth
and power for security. Those, we know,
are great indeed. There are railroad COM
panies in New York whose capital, signifed
by stock and bonds, exceeds the total valu-
alton of any one of eight States in the
Union according to the last national GEN.
sus There also are life insurance compa-
nies whose funds exceed the valuation OF
any one Of five of those States. But even
these gigantic corporations. singly or COM
bined, cannot stand up against failure Of
public confidence. If their managers are
wise they will not rashly provoke such
failure

The Irish Land Agitation.

At the bottom of all Irish grievances" is
undoubtedly the land question, and as it is
o real one it is not to be wondered that the
'anti-rent" agitation should, when devel-
oped by men apparently of some skill, out
rank in interest all other agitations for the
time being. 1t is the subject of all others
on which the British government can least
afford TO legislate in a manner that would
meet the popular needs, for any disturb
ance of the present state of affairs would
work to the injury of the entire class which
can be now relied on for thick and thin
loyalty to Great Britain. That, neverthe-
less, such sweeping legislation as is de-
manded would ultimately inure to tho WELL
being of the country and the strength of
acknowledgement even in English Cabinet
circles, but it would require magnanimity
greater than Is usually found in Downing
street, and moral courage rare in consti-
tutional monarchies, to take hold of the
question in proper spirit, and even then
il would require q broader statesmanship
than is visible to put the cure for the evils
of absenteeism, rack rents, holdings at will
and so on into practical shape for imperial
legislation. The very form of the present agi-
tation shows that the leaders appreciate the
fact that such lawmaking as London could
afford would be of little service to them in
this period of agricultural depression. 1t
is, in fact, an appeal to the land holders TO
combine against the landlords and withhold
all rents until reduction of rentals is
made. 1t is an ultra-legal and revolution
AIRY plan, but for that very reason has a
likelihood of taking hold upon the masses,
who have unfortunately been long taught
by England that law is very one-sided affair
on properly questions in Ireland, the well

Cunuibalfsn.

It was Mr.. Pinafore Gilbert's pleasure in
his famous "Yarn of the Nancy Bell" to
jest elaborately upon the practice of human
beings eating each other. In the course Of
his ballad we are familiarized with homi-
eide for the sake of food, until when all but

friendly contest between the cook and the

Indeed. when further the anthropophagous
son Of Neptune adds, 'and eat that cook
In week or less, )" 1t is thrill of pleasure
instead OF horror that runs down ones spinal
column. We are puzzled to say whether in
thus being tickled by a cannibalistic ex-
perienco We arc merely paying tribute to the
skill of writer who puts q repulsive thing
pleasantly, or whether the clever Scotchman
has only been calling up from its sleep OF
centuries delight in roast man, once per-
haps common to all earthly tribes, white as
we'll as black. Indeed, far-fetched as it
would seem, the latter idea gains some color
of truth from the recent proceedings of the
anthropological section of the British
association at Sheffield, England. The
tender tone of these scientists toward tho
man-eating savages Of Africa, whom the
various explorers present had encountered,
and the praises bestowed upon their canni-
balistc hosts by these travellers, were very
significant. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion there that man in Central Africa
might be a good husband and father, de-
voted friend and the pagan equivalent OF a
presiding elder while nourishing himself
occasionally on the heshy portions of his
distant relations. In view Of the appre-
ciative applause of this dignifcd body OF
civilized savans, whenever man-eater's 8
praise was chanted, we are tempted to ask,

Maine.

It is essential to ready understanding
of the election returns from Maine which
will be printed tomorrow to remember
that of the three candidates for the Gov
ernorship Davis is the republican, Garcelon
the democratic and Smith the greenback
candidate. AS Governor is the only
State officer to be elected the counting Of
the votes will require but little time
and the telegraph may be expected to bring
the full result tonight The canvass has
been one of the most active and animated
that ever took place in the State. Nobody
gives any heed to the election eering boasts g
of the rival factions; but it is safe to assume,
from the energy which the republican
leaders have thought it necessary to put
into the canvass, that the greenback party III
Maine is truly formidable. 1t is not prob
able that it will elect its ticket, but load
of anxiety will be lifted from the mind of
Senator Blaine if the voting to-day shall
show that the election of Governor is not
again thrown into the Legislature, as it was
last year-a result which would be unfavor-
able to the hopes of Mr.. Blaine as Presi-
Dental aspirant, the ability of o candidate
to carry his own State being regarded by
both parties as necessary requisite for his
nomination. If the republicans lose Maine
and should carry New York these results
will have marked influence on the subse-
quent current of Presidential speculation.
Besides electing q Governor and Legis-
lature the people of Maine are to vote to-
day on proposed amendment to their
State constitution making tho elections and
sessions of the Legislature biennial instead
of annual. There seems to be no doubt
that this amendment will be adopted.

The Butchery Mt Cabul.

Again terrible lesson to British methods
in dealing with the races which dwell
in and on the borders of that wide
spread Empire The English envoy ut
Cabul has been massacred, with all
his suite and bodyguard, by the Afghan
troops. The events of November, 1641,
have been repeated. Cavagnari and his
companions share the fate of Burnes and
Macnaughton. Disaster follows SO close in
the wake of apparent success that the shock
is doubly great. The moral effect is worse
than the slaughter at Isandula, where the
incompetency of one general officer pre-
cipitated, even invited, destruction. 1t is
the fault Of the policy of antagonism !;
it is the sacrifice of good British
blood to fancy. The pretence of watching
Russas approach to India has been
so often reiterated that the average tory
statesman has come to believe in it as q
cardinal part of his political creed. 1t is
to this theory that gallant officer and
promising diplomatist has been delivered
over to the merciless hatred of the Afghans.
The occupation of Cabul and the reoccupa-
tion Of Candahar must now be undertaken
at all cost. The death Of Cavagnari avenged,
declaration will doubtless follow to the
effect that the Hindoo Koosh instead Of the
Suleiman Hills is the true scientific"
frontier for British India.
Vengeance is already preparing, but be-
fore it falls many days must pass-days
of anxiety to every British officer in
India and every statesman of the domi-
nant party at home. On the one hand,
the native millions of Hindostan will see
what defiance the tribes of the Afghan
hills hurl at their conquerors how even
when subdued they refuse to submit to
the foreign yoke. On the other hand
the fate of the present Ministry hangs
upon the events that shall follow on
the Indian frontier. If general
war becomes necessary the British Par
lament will have to be summoned earlier
| than usual and the disastrous termination
of the Afghan policy, the doubtful tenn
| porizing in South Africa, and the "peace
with honor" surrender at Berlin will COM
bine to make a vote of confidence most
dangerous experiment to enter upon. The
savage humiliation which has thus been
heaped upon England by the Afghan troops
may prove to be the event which will turn
| the tide in the affairs Of the Beaconsfeld
oovernment

Should He BE Pardon edl

We publish to-day one of the most re-
markable stories that have ever come
from within prison walls About eigh-
teen years ago convict named Brady,
who had nearly completed term of
imprisonment for small burglary, at
tempted, with several others, to escape
from Dannemora Prison, in this State one
of tho party killed Keeper Wright all of
the men were captured, tried. and, although
Sewell, the man who struck the fatal blow,
manfully admitted and insisted that he
alone killed Wright, two beside himself
were condemned to death, on the evidence
of three convicts, afterward pardoned, who
had attempted to escape with the others,
but lost heart and remained behind.
The prisoners were even denied tho
right Of challenging the jurors before
whom they were tried. Incredible as it
may seem, the law ut that time was so
worded that Brady for ten years suffered
the cruel agony Of anticipating daily a
death warrant, which the Governor alone
could sign. Besides this torture, thou
sand times worse than death, the wretched
man wore for FIVE years ball and chain,
which lamed him for life, and has served
seventeen years at hard labor since con-
victed. No one appears to believe Brady
guilty; the prison warden, the principal
keeper, the physician and the chaplain, all
believe he should be pardoned. Hundreds

The Yazoo Plan i'm south Carolina.
The results of the shooting of Captain
Dixon in Yazoo county, Mississippi, seem
to be considered by the South as on the
whole favorable, for South Carolina has
adopted the Yazoo plan and thereby sue
ceeded in ridding the State of native born
Union man. The victim was Alexander
Brice, of Walhalla, good citizen and
q man Of character and reputation, but one
who had long been guilty of the crime Of
active republicanism. Carpet-bagger in
fuence South Carolina can afford to laugh
at, but native republican is altogether
different from the insane theorist from the
North. The people know him, trust his
Judgment in other matters, and fair share
of them are likely to accept his political
advice. Mr.. Brice was undoubtedly 3
thorn in the Bourbon side; but the trouble
is all over now, for he was assassinated
near his own home a week ago. Verdict of
the jury, death at the hands of persons
unknown" Arrests, none; press comments,
ditto. Whether the South Carolina Con-
gressmen will be as reticent as those of
Mississippi remains to be seen, but so far

John md susan.

What will Governor Robinson do now
that, in addition to the serried battalions
of Tammany, he has to face the oppo-
sition of another formidable cohort of foes !?
The legions Of John Kelly can fight as we'll
as howl, and are quite capable, we believe,
of laying out our Governor cold and fit to
be taken home con shutter" at the No
vember battle Of the polls if he ever gets
that far in his campaign but death politi-
cal can have greater horrors still. We can
fancy our Lucius dying on the field under
the hammering and chopping of the toma-
hawks of the braves, but to see him writhing
in agony while Miss Susan B. Anthony and
the shrieking sisterhood rent the air
with their maledictions on his devoted head
would move a sterner heart than ours.
When the Indians want to make captive die
miserably they tie him to tree, light fire
under him, puncture him all over so that
he will bleed to death if he should fail to
be frizzled alive, and then, while the wounds
and the woodpile are running race for
his last gasp, the braves retire little dis
tance and bring in the squaws to call the
wretched man vile names and speak i'll in
a rasping chorus of all his relations. Men
who have held out through all other tor
ments have been known at this point to beg
the big Indians to bury a atomahawk in their
brains, and we believe Senator Conkling
and Vice President Wheeler, ay, even Mr..
Cornell, would weep to see the doomed
Lucius turn a glazing eye from the sharp
outlines of the shrieking Susan to the burly
John, and ask family for just one more
knock on the head from the chieftain's
little hatchet. s

THE WEATIIER.-The depression that was
over the lake regions is moving steadily east
ward. Its influence, however, is beginning to
extend southward toward Kentucky and West
Virginia. The pressure within it is only rela-
lively low, but it is likely to decrease during
the next few days as the disturbance nears the
coast line. The barometer is highest in the
Northwest and West and is above the mean in
the Gulf, South Atlantic States and on the Mid
die Atlantic and New England coasts. Rain
has fallen throughout the central valleys, the
lake regions and the Northwest In the other
sections of the country the weather has been
generally fair. The temperature has risen in
the Gulf, South and Middle Atlantic States, re-
manned nearly stationary in the central valley
districts and the New England States and fell
slightly elsewhere. The winds have been from
fresh to brisk in the central valleys and on the
Gulf coast. fresh on the Middle Atlantic and
New England coasts and light in the other
districts There are indications Of the organi-
zation of disturbance in the southwestern

present its outline is not well enough defined to
