tho manner of the repeal. Both
houses will be Democratic, but Hayes
would veto the measures if passed
alone. TO prevent this, if possible,
tho repeating acts will be again tacktI
to tho appropriation bills. IF the
President vetocs these, the govern
mcnt will bc disorganizcd, as all pay
mcnt Of money from the treasury must
stop. This will strike deadly blow
ut the eighty thousand Radical Office
holders Of The country who now SUBJ
sisL on public pap. Once nr twice
before the President has thus been
brought to terms. But party feeling
has ruin 80 high in the past few weeks
that Hayes will hardly dare to ap-
prove the bill, though such refusal
cuts off his supply of buttcrmilk in
definitely. Congress cannot pass it
over his veto, and the bill will fail.
After that-thc dclugc. The DEMO
Gratis will have to give way or else
prepare Il similar bill. Hayes will
then have to approve it or intcrposc
another veto. Thus the struggle may
be continued indefinitely, both parties
becoming more and more hostile. The
end cannot yet be forctold. The
tangled skcin will have to unravcl
itself. Confident prophecy is made
that the bread and butter brigade
headed by Hayes will have to sur
render in order to obtain supplies,
and others say the Democrats occupy
untcnablc ground in forcing the super
visor fight over when no general
election takes place until November,
1880. Tho next regular scs ion, they
say, would be time enough. The
chief good resulting from the present
cmbroglio is The unitication Of the
lately divided Democracy. The
Radicals have all along been sol!dly
united. They cannot become much
more so. The Democrats, however,
need some common ground, and this
task of restoring the constitution may
supply the want. The floating in
dependent vote is the unknown quan-
tity that makes all calculation at this
time useless. In Il month or two we

Greek Meeting Greek.

1t is anticipated that the opening OF
the extra session on the 18th will be
the beginning Of one Of the tierccst
party struggles ever seen in the United
States. Not only the Congressman
but the press and people will all be
enlisted OH one side or the other.
The fight will, of course, take place
over three propositions: to prevent the
use Of troops at the polls, to abolish
the test oath and to repeal the law
providing for supervisors and deputy
marshals ut Federal elections. :rhc
propriety OF passing the. first and
second laws is too obvious to need
discussion. All liberty loving peo-
pie have denied the right Of using
troops at the polls, and suspicion of
such purpose on the part Of the cabi-
net in England would raise storm of
indignation fatal to any mans popu-
larity. The second comes logically
from reconstruction. Judge Settle,
who now prcsidcs over the Uuitcd
States District Court in Florida, could
not take the test oath and sit as juror
in his own court. The oath was unani-
mously repealed once but got into the
Radical statutes by fraud or mistake,
and the Radicals now refuse to blot
it from the book. AS TO the third
proposition, argument is heard that
the presence of supervisors and deputy
~, f,s,, A.
Nothing can be more absurd. a
Radical Judge appoints the supervisors
and Radical marshal appoints his
deputies, and the advantage is all on
one side. The charge is made that
the deputies appointed are generally
OF so Infamous a character that the
department ofjusticc refused to send
list of names to Congress upon its
request. The appointments at the
North are as bad those at the South,
and none could be worse. With these
creatures at tho polls fair elections
arc impossible. In the good old days,
when the government was much
purcr than it is now, elections could
be conducted without all this complex
machinery, and elections were free.
They can be made free again by
abolishing all tho tlummcry with
which Radicalism invested them. The
two parties are equally matched in
numbers and strength. Each is able
TO take care Of itself at tho polls.
Abolish the supervisors and lot each
party do its best. If intimidation and
fraud arc necessary accessories to
every election, each party Will have
precisely the samo chance 'uf COM
mitting irregularities itself or pre-
venting them on tho other side.
There is no reason whatever for re-
enforcing Radical guile and Radical
shrowdncss with host Of Radical
deputy marshals clothed with dcspotic
power, and paid equally by Radical
and Democratic taxpayers.
Tho repeal of these obnoxious laws
is demanded, not by Democratic
policy alone, but by tho constitution
itsclf. Tho country is not FREQ, nor
tho government constitutional, until
they are repealed.
The contest arises, however, over

Southern claims would have ceased
long ago. The South, they say,
should go to the front at once, and by

An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that nature

channel deeper, and the glacier wears
deeper gorge IN the Alpine rock, and
the ocean tide deposits the sand It has
crumblcd from the rocks upon which It
breaks. We note the earthquake and
the devastating hurricane; but these
changes arc 80 gradual men seldom OBJ
serve them until the channel has be-
come overhanging cliffs, or a mountain
mas disappeared before the icy stream.
or the ocean has given us a Florida.
Thus 1t Is in disease. Our attention ia
attracted by acute diseases, as feycrs.
cholera, etc., while chronic diseases
loiten the most dangerous in rcsuIt,.
being slow IN their development, arc
seldom noticed until they have made an
almost incffaceablc impression upon tho
system. Persons believing themselves
comparatively healthful are ofttimcs
tho victims of these diseases, and only
become aware Of their presence when
relief Is almost impossible. Disease of
the liver and stomach are the common.

Plcrce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets are never.

something About Sharks.

A gentleman residing in Saugerti es,
N, y, who followed the sea in the
whaling business for many years, says
the impression many people have that
shark can bite mans limb off or bite
him In two Is erroneous The sharks
teeth are in layers or rows. and are
small, saw edged, thin and sharp as "a
zors, but very brittle, so much so that
the moment they bite OH any hard sub
stance they break Off, rendering 1t ut
terly impossible for them to bite bone
in two. Three Of tn csc rows of teeth
are ordinarily in use, and when broken
are naturally replaced by those further
back in the mouth growing out. similar
to nails in the human hand or foot.
This gentleman also says that he has
seen hundreds of what Is known as
the gray shark, near the Society Islands
in the South Pacific Ocean, and has
known them to attack whale In scores
with perfectly terrible fcroclCy, CASH
ing at and catching hold of the oars
and keel Of the boat with lightning
like rapidity anu with such force as to
throw the oarsmcn from their seats,
and in several instances nearly throw
ing tho boat steerer overheard. The
oars and keel of the boat when eXamin.
cd afterward we're found full of pieces
of their teeth. While the above may
be fast, yet 1t Is undeniably true that
there are species Of sharks which do
attack and seriously injurc If not kill
human beings. a gentleman of King
ston, N. Y, who as an officer in tho
navy has voyaged around the world,
relates how, in Pensacola Harbor, he
saw "tiger shark" seize man-who
was one Of the crew Of the ship of
which the gentleman was an officer
and as quick as thought snap off his
leg, and it was with dinlculty the
unfortunate sailor was rescued. 1t was
as much as mans life was worth to
venture into the water at that point, rs
the "tlgers," from fifteen to twenty
feet long, were numerous and fcroclous,
and never hcsitated TO attack man
who came within reach.
