In our opinion, the Democrats

In our opinion, the Democrats
have made a very poor showing in
the extra session of Congress. The
Republicans will have very little
to say hereafter about the alleged
revolutionary schemes of the de.
mocracy. The fact is overwhelm-
ingly established that the Demo-
cratic party contains about the
most soft, harmless, inOffensive,
obedient people ever seen in this
world.-(New York SIM.

Another Alxsterleu. Nlur.ler.

Tho police Of New York and til,
public generally arc greatly cxer,
clsed over another mysterious muir
der, which occurred in that city o,
Thursday night July Sd. TIL,
tragedy has that element of mystery
connected with 1t which usually
excites general attention. Mr.. JOIN
+. Seymour, q cousin and brother.
in-law Of Bishop Seymour, was
found murdered on the grounds Of
the theological seminary where he
resided. It seems that on the even.
ing before the Fourth OF July he
had gone out, az was his custom,
to clear the grounds from tramps
which infested it. Not returning
seasonably, he was sought for, and
found dead with q pistol ball through
his body. No trace of the murder
er has yet been found, and it Is
doubtful II there ever is. There
are three theories in regard to the
case: The Arst IL, that in endeav or.
ing TO eject some tram ps, they fired
upon and killed him; the second,
that a stray ball from the pistol OF
some hoodlum may have done the
business; and the third, which is
strenuously insisted upon by the
fAice, is that he commit ted suici de.
Bishop Seymour, when interviewed
at the college. said he was sure the
theory of self-destruction was with
out foundation. His brother, he
said, was never known to carry any
kind Of a weapon, and no trace of
his having purchased u pistol of
any kind could be discovered. The
bishop believed he had been shot
by some tramp found on the
grounds, or by some men in COM
pany with woman.

culpable neglect Of sanitary precau-
tiOns imaginable. The man had

An order, which is, perhaps IN :
precedented in railroad annals, has
just been issued by the Superinten-
dent of the Eastern division OF the
New York, Lake Erie aud Western
Railroad, forbidding brakemen on
all trains, and especially the
freights, from flirting with female
passengers and girls along the line
aud instructing the conductors to
see that the order is strictly enforc-
ed. The brakemen complain that
an unfair discrimination is made in
fovor of the conductors. The OPP.
pOrtunities for flirting enjoyed by
the brakemen on freight trains are
certainly feeting and have not
hitherto been considered extensive
but it seems that indignant parents
have complained that their daugh-
tiers had been captivated by these
gallants, who exchange signals
with the girls as the trains pass by.

The Boston Herald pr0n0uuces
the following severe verdict on the
Democracy: existing laws
authorize the employment of deputy
marshals to keep order at elections.
In some cases these marsha have
done good service. In others the
power to appoint them has been
abused, and the wages paid to them
have been a corruption fund fol-
party purposes. The Democrats,
who lose by it, wanted to repeal the
law. The Republicans, who gained
by it, refused. The President We.
toed the repeating bill. The Dem
ocrats thereupon refused to appro.
pirate any money to pay the mar
shals aud their deputies for any ser.
vice. This goes to the cou try :
Are the Democrats justified in re-.
fusing to make legitimate appro.
priation, in accordance with exist
ing laws, because they were not
strong enough to change those laws I
The Court of Appeal is practically
the Northern peOple-leaving ''solid
South" out. What will be the YER
dict in this COURT We think it will
be against the Democrats. The
abuses of deputy marshals at cleo.
lions have not been SO grave as
and bulldozing. The North.
ern people will not believe that any
marshal has ever prevented a citizen
from voting as ho pleased. They
10 believe that great many people
have been prevented from voting
and cheated out of their votes in
the count by partisan force and
fraud. The issue which the Demo.
,rats have made to take before a
Northern jury is bad one for them.
They have done all they can to
help the Republicans"
