Ii is plain that the Tilden Democrats think
they have found pretext for removing Com
missioner Wheeler AMI making vacancy IN
the Police Board which can be filled with one
of Mr.. Tlden's personal retainers. But It Is dt-
ficult to see that they have discovered anything
more than pretext. There seems to have been
some confusion IN Mr. Wheeler's accounts as
Police Commissioner, which is unfortunate,
aud, of course. must be regarded as in
certain sense improper. Public business
should never be neglected even for private
business of the most pressing kind. But 1t
is shown that the confusion in the ac-
counts is due partly to Mr.. Wheelers
personal misfortunes, which have engrOsscd
his time that it is merely what might
be called a technical disarrangement. The
attempt to make it appear that he is a
defaulter and to cast the stigma of actual
dishonesty upon him, seems to be wholly with
out excuse The money which was alleged to
be missing, is not, and never has been MISS
ing. 1t lies now in his hands as treasurer,
ond only awaits decision as to the persons
to whom it would he proper to pay It,
Whether Commissioner Wheeler has committed
any technical fault upon which the Mayor
can consistently remove him remains to be
seen. 1t will not be necessary, probably that
the fault should be a great one. The III EN-
Democracy "wantn the Police Board, just as
they "wantedn Auburn Prison. Evidently
they propose to get it. But there should be
some care employed in the process not to
spread abroad charges which leave false
and injurious impressions respecting private

TIE MISSISSIPPI PIN.

We referred the other day to Il little episode
in Kemper County, Mississippi, where q stump
speaker advocating the election Of a Republi-
can candidate for Clerk of the Court was ST.
fenced with a brickbat and dirk vigorously
used by an offended Democrat. There are
not many counties in Mississippi where the
most courageous man would venture to run
as a Republican candidate for any Office, or 10
make a Republican speech. If any dissatisfac-
ton with the solid Democratic rule shows
itself it is almost always under the form Of
an independent" movement. Last year
these movements were tolerated, where they
did not seriously threaten Democratic suprem-
acy, but it seems that they are not to be allowed
to go any further.
At least, such is the determination of
"the best men of YazoO County, who,
according to The Ya-oo city Herald, gath
cred together on the 25th of July to the num-
Der of several hundred and sent a committee of
six to the dwelling of II. NJ. Dixon, TO inform
him that he must quit his canvass and leave
the county, or die. Mr.. Dxon's offence was
running as an Independent candidate Tor

THE SOLID South.
BY BMMkTT L. ROSS.


If only for awhile,
And tune my harp to Homcr's Tyre
! Blind bard Of Scio's Isle
That may sing in fitting words
Song of enduring praise
70 willing hands and noble hearts
Who, in utfiiction's days,
Poured out upon our sunny land
Their stores of love and wealth
That brought surcease to estilence,
And wooed back joyous health.
solid South pours out her heart this
bright. This glad New Year,
And sends message to all men, all ma
tions far and near;
A message dripped with willow leaves,
bedewed with holy tears,
OF widowed wife aud orphaned child, sad
youth and tottering years;
A message from her palaces, from cottage,
hill and glade,
From council halls, from field and farm
and busy marts of trade;
A message freightei down with love, with
gratitude as great
AS ever woke soul to arms, or barred a
breast for State
4 love that throbs in every heart, a graft
tnde that thrills,
And breaks its bounds like waves that
rush to see from swelling rills.
Some mother bending DER the tomb that
holds her cherished boy,
Some stricken wife beside the grave where
rests her grlhood's joy.
Some maiden weeping DER the mound
where troth and lover lie,
Press back their sobs and in their prayers
call blessings from OH high
Down on the heads, the hearts, the homes
of those whose helping haud
Brought succor to our stricken oucs and
saved our suffering land.
The Southron's hand that erst while drew
his sabre from its sheath
And dipped its blade in brothers blood to
win the patriots wreath.
Now presses ON throbbiug breast in
pledge to self aud God
That Peace and Love shall ever reign
where hostile armies trod,
The fires of hate that lit his soul, nor sword |
nor gun could quell-
These yield to Loves bewItching wiles, to
Loves all conquering spell;
Deep in his heart is writ the name, the
pure, unseltish zeal
Of HIM who dared the Saffron Foe, to con
quer woe with veal.
More holy task was never borue than that
brave Bonner tried
No loss more great, no grief more deep,
than when,brave Beuuer died;
No gift in all the bounty scut, more rich,
more rare in price,
20 words eau compensate the boon-our
Nations sacrifice.
Nen million grateful hearts eushrine his
memory in their breast
Zen million tongues his deed extol, invoke
his spirits rest;
| solid South reveres his name, his valor
undeliled-
)ue common couutry's love will shield tn
Martyrs wife and child.
}, Great Jehovah, King of Kings!
Whose mighty hands control
he fate of worlds, the works of men,
And Times unceasing roll
act blessings follow in the path
OF sorrows fading tread;
!, I comfort come to those who mourn
And weep above thoir dead;
our down unmeasured blessings, Lord, ,
Thy choicest and thy best,
o crown our brothers of the North
And far-Otf East aud West;
lot out the lines thst would divide
Aud desecrate our sod,
ind close our States, give us one law,
Que Union, aud one God.

It is said, and doubtless truly, that in 1880, little less than fifty years ago, only one citi- zen of New York, John Jacob Astor, was worth more than $1 ,000, 900. Nothing can better illustrate the growth of wealth here than this fact, which now seems surprising enough. Millionaires are very plenty in these days, so very plenty that they are hardly talk en into account. Every few days somebody dies leaving an estate valued at over $1 ,OOO,- . GOO; and yet the mass of our old inhabitants may not even have heard of his name. It hs 8 been asserted that there are at present in the metropolis fully 800 men whose property is citizens as William H. Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor, Henry Hilton, George Law, Moses Taylor Royal Phelps, A A. Low, Peter Cooper, Alexander and Robert L. Stuart. Hor- ace B. Chaflin, E. S. Jaffray, James Gordon Bennett, William H. Appleton, August Bel mont c. P. Huntington, Anthony j. Drexel, Levi P. Morton, James Brown, Amos R. Enc, and dozens of others who might be named, are presumed to be millionaires over and over again. Half century has made wondrous changes here in other things than private for tunes.

The cup of Russia's misfortunes has" long seemed full, but now it is running over. Diphtheria has wrought severe mortality in the empire for years, but our latest advices are that the disease is raging in manner more fearful than ever. A St. Petersburg journal says that in some regions the deaths from diphtheria are more frequent than the births during the same time On the same authori- tywe are told that in Odessa since last May, diphtheria has carried off seventy six per cen- tum of all the children in the city. and at many other places the ravages of the disease are but fractionaly less dreadful. In one will lage every child has fallen victim and eleven vast districts are affirmed to be afflicted with the malignant disorder. The physicians seem to be in kind of stupor, and are at all events unable to combat the epidemic. with any meas ure of success It might be thought that dirt and bad ventilation have much to do with it. but for the fact that 30 many deaths have oc- cured in the summer and autumn, when those elements are likely to be least potent for harm. The Russian government has appointed a special commission, under M. Karel, physi- cian-in-ordinary to the Czar, to inquire into the causes of diphtheria; and strict orders have been issued to the local authorities about the measures to be adopted to arrest and if possible to extirpate the disease.

GHAsr1Y RELICS OF WArERLoo.-BoNEs OF

GHAsTLY RELICS OF WATERLoO-BoNEs OF A FRENCH GENERAL USED FOR CROCKERY SET. For the truth of the incident related below I have the best possible proof; George Shaw, a brave Englishman. when surrounded on the field of Waterloo by number of the enemy, made gallant struggle for distance, and fought his way back to his comrades over the dead bodies of dozen Frenchman whom he had slain. AS a reward for his bravery, We'll ington sent for the soldier, and in the course of his conversation with him gave him permis- sion to take home with him whatever relic he chose from the battlefield Shaw's choice was the skeleton of a French general, killed in the action The ghastly trophy was safely trans ported to England andhung in the soldiers closet at Hanley in Staffordshire, England till, he came to regard it as nuisance and dispos- ed of it to Samuel Bullock, manufacturer of china. As bones form large proportion of the ingredients from which English china is made, it occurred to the manufacturer that the remains of the poor general would look much better made up into some handsome ornament than dangling from peg in an obscure clos ct and in accordance with this inspiration, the French general was ground down, and, in due time, was metamcrphosed into teacups and saucers: in which condition he adorns to this day the musenm at Hawley, appropriate ly inscribed with the history of his transform atlon. IL happened one uay that Marsnal Soult visited the museum, and his attention was attracted by the china, which has bright pink tint and is ornamented with flowers. But when his eye rested upon the label, which en- abed him to recognize in the collection the re- mains of one of his former generals, the mar shal was deeply shocked; and, wrapping ''his martial cloak around him." walked indignant ly away. He did not forget to inform Napo- leon then at St. Helena, of the indignity which had been offered to the memory of their depart ed countrymen. 'It is no indignity," quoth Napoleon, ''what more pleasant disposition can there be of ones bones after death than to be made up into cups to be constantly in use, and placed between the rosy lips of ladies The thought is delightful" This was an as- pect of the case which had not occurred to the prosac marshall; but he was forced to con- tent himself with it.-Letter to the Boston IrdUeIler.
