a MATTER-OF-FACT RoNAECF.
Now that mysterious disappearances'
appear to have set in with unexampled
severity, it viii be of interest to recall
a very remarkable instance which made
agreat impression on the mind of Natha-
mel Hawthorne. 4 gentleman whom
Mr.. Hawthorne names Wakefield be-
ing happily married. and dwelling in
London, one day hit upon the idea that
he would mysteriOusly disappear There
was, or at least there is, nothing pecu-
liar in that. Only Mr.. Wakefield de-
termined that h5 would not disappear
further than the next street Accord
irgly he took lodging in the street next
adjoining that in which his once happy
home was situated, and there, lost TO
sight though to memory dear. dwelt FOR
twenty years. During that period. our
authority says. he beheld his home
every day, and frequently the forloTn
Mrs. Wakefield, but was himself never
1 recognized. After this gap OF twenty
I years in his matrimonial felicity, when
his death was accepted as a certainty,
! when his estate had been admin stored
and his wife long resigned to her aut-
nmnal widOwhOOd. he one evening quiet
4 ~ knocked at the door, walked in as If
/ ne had Just arrived after a day' : absence
in the city, and thenceforward lived a
! loving and hOme-staying spouse. The
advantages of this typographical ar
/ rangement are obvious, at least as far
! as Mr.. Wakefield was concerned. His
pro2inquity would have enabled him at
any time to appear on the scene. sup
posing his wife had been less faithful
to his memory, and been disposed again
to embark upon matrimOny To that
extent he seems to have had his wife
at a disadvantage, and on the whole his
conduct IS not COmmcndable. But
there is one grain of comfort 10 be de-
rived from the Story-whiCh we should
add, is not born of the fertile brain that
weaved the weird tale Of The HOuse
with the Seven Gables. - but was related
as 4 matter-of-fact in a contempOr-
airy newspaper. It goes to prove, IN
support of more modern and notorious
instances, that when gentlemen. and
particularly married gentleman. ''mys-
teTiously disappear, = there are alterna-
tives to the acceptance Of the theory Of
robbery and murder London Nelrs.

The Louisville O,1ieI'-JOulJldl sticks TO Tildan
with as much tenacity as If he had elected his
man governor of New York. and maintains that
the democrats cannot afford to nominate any
body else as their presidential candidate. The
COu1ie3'J0'HT'Gi is in bad humOr over the re-
suit in New York, and reads its party savage
lesson because ii is not unanimous for Tilden.
1t says the party will look in vain to Washing
ton for any help In its crisis; that on the demo-
cratic side OF the Senate there are many brilliant
men, very. very few wise ones. In the House it
is simply chaos. For two years there has been
but one handspring of action among these mas
ter-spirits of party anarchism, and that, some
way to nd themselves of the one central figure,
which offered at once a candidate and an
issue; the one shadow across the republican line
of march; the one lion Crilden) in the path of
the usurperS who hold possession of the govern
ment. 1t speaks of Bayard, Hancock and Others
as worthy to "wear the purple" but adds "there
is no one of them who ever will or even can
reach the White House over the dead body OF
Mr.. Tilden." The general opinion created by
the New York election is that it shelved Tiden,
but as the COuJieJ'-JOaunal is leading demo-
cratic organ it should know the condition of its
party better than outsiders.

The colored people of virginia in voting with

The colored people Of Virginia in voting with
the white repudlationiSts have lost good op-
portunity to show that they are fit to exercise
the right of suffrage In the interests of good
government. They have supplied another ar
gument to those who allege that they are a
dangerous and mischievous voting element, for
the reason that they are so easily led by dem2-
gogues to act in opposition to social and prop
erty interests and the public good. In this way
they served as the tools of the gang of plum
derers In South Carolina who bankrupted the
state; and in other southern states their votes
have put the thieving demagogues into power
who by their plundering schemes have so nearly
ruined the south. 1t was hoped that they
had by this time got their eyes open to the fact
that bad men, taking advantage of their ignor-
ance, were using them as voting material for
mischievous purposes, but it seems they have
yet the lesson to learn. Fortunately, as Viz
gtnia has sound man for governor, the repudl-
atorS in the next legislature (who will pretty
certainly not have two-thirdS majority will
not be able TO pass any legislation damaging the
state credit, over his veto. BY the time OF
another election it is trusted the colofed voters
VIII have learned that it is as much to the ad-
vantage OF state 10 maintain its financial credit,
as IL is TO an individual.

The question whether there would be va
cancy in the board of District Commissioners
has been settled. 1t will be seen. Capt. Phelps,
finding that his health has not been improved
at the Arkansas hot springs, has carried out his
announced purpose OF rendering his resignation.
The President has accepted the resignation, to
take effect December LIST. In the somewhat
numerous list OF candidates for the place, it
would seem that Major Thomas p. Morgan, the
present Superintendent of Police, has the best
show for the appointment. He Is a wellhnown
citizen, has served in the city councils and in
other positions creditably, and would probably
be generally acceptable to the people of Wash
1ngton as Commissioner.

The explicit and positive statement of Secre-
tary Sherman that he will not be candidate for
U. S. Senator from Ohio next winter slmplifies
the situation very much and leaves the field
clear for Messrs. Garfield, Dennson, Taft and
Matthew'S and such other aspirants as may
choose TO enter it hereafter. Practically, how
ever, the contest may be said to be between the
four gentlemen named, and at present their
chances are regarded as in the order given
above. A comic feature has been injected into
the canvass by the formal announcement of eX-
Representative EgglestOn, of Cincinnati that he
Will be a candidate, and it is understood that he
has already entered upon a still hunt, with that
prize in view. 1t Is not likely, though that he
has any chance Of success, and the indications
now all point to Gen. Garfield as the coming
man. 1t is certain that many more members OF
both houses of the assembly have pronounced
for him than for any other candidate, although
he does not as yet appear to have secured a ma
jOrity.

That was rather rough illustration of the
power ofthe press furnished by Hampden coun-
", Massachusetts, last Tuesday. 1t Is in Hamp-
den county that Springfield is located, and that
city is as all the world knows the home OF the
Springfield Republican. That bright paper, as
al The world knows also, was with perhaps
single exception, the ablest and most active OF
an .he papers In the state in opposition to Gen.
nu'iei as candidate for governor. Yet Hamp-

The New York sun to-day lets up on John
Kelly, and gives ''Tilden and his friends a
scoring for not pursuing a more conciliatory
policy to prevent the fatal division in the demo-
cratic party. John kelly's hand would have
been powerless if Mr.. Tilden had early adopted
policy OF democratic brotherly love to Sanford
Z. Church and Others, the SatR says; and it adds
"The prospect Of a reunion of the scattered
forces OF the Democratic party in this state in
time to be available at the next presidential
election is not, we are sorry to say, at present,
very Brilliant

The fact that RuSsia's debt amounts to the
enormous total OF So ls0, 44s,02i and that $780,
00O00 Of this sum has been incurred since thedrst
OF last January will scarcely encourage American
Capitalists to invest in the bonds OF that govern
ment. The financial agents of the Cars gov
eminent are endeavOring to negotiate loans in
this country, and the favorable terms they offer
may induce some OF the heavy-mOnied men to
take the risk and the Russian bonds.

The newly elected legislature in Maryland
will choose Z. S. Senator to succeed Mr.. Whyte.
and the political prophets name A. P. German
as the coming man. Last winter Senator Whyte
announced that he would not be in the race, but
1t seems that his friends will not permit him to
retire. SO far, no candidate except the two
mentioned has been suggested, and 1t is proba-
BILE that the race will be between them.

The extent of the republican bolt In the state
of New York against Cornell is now estimated
as high as 80 1000, and the nti-Conkling republic

upon The damage he has done the party by fore
ahg CornelPs nomination. But for John Kelly's
oeiectlon Cornell would have been terribly
beaten.
