Stormy Times Ahead.

Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
takes rather startling view OfpOlitical
prospects for the future. He has no
doubt that the republicans will regain
control of the House next year, but he
thinks there will be troublesome times
in the Senate, owing to the desperate
effort of the democrats to retain a hold
there. He thinks they will undertake
most revolutionary and INSCRIPTIONS
schemes, the conspiracy having its
starting point in the unseating of Sena-
tor Kellogg of Louisiana. Being re-
minded that he had recently ,prophe-
sled Grants election if he got the nomi-
nation, the Senator replied:
Yes that's what said, and | mighe
have added that if elected, he will bt
He will be inaugurated,
despite the efforts that may be made to
prevent it. am not an alarmist, and
L don't want to be reported as such.
But | see that am in for it with you,
and l might as we'll go on with pre-
dictiOn that I've often made of late. 1t
is that the democrats will protest
against the count of the electoral votes
of some one or more of our republican
Joint convention for that duty in Feb
ruary, 1881. They will base their pro-
test upon what they will allege to have
been an unconstitutional exercise of
federal power in the execution of the
national election laws. They may take
California for this purpose, or New
York, or Pennsylvania, or any state
the slightest pretense, real or
for the express object,
may be furnished. Then the two houses
will separate, and one or both will sus
tain the protest. The vote Of that state
will be thrown out, and it will be de-
clared that there was no election, and
the House will assume to elect Presi-
dent.
1t is to be hoped that the senator's
prediction of stormy times i'll the po-
litical arena will prove untrue, and that
the country will be spared any such
anxiety rs it experienced i'll 1876.

festivities of the most gorgeous kind.
That times are getting good, there is no
manner of doubt. | haven't seen so
many diamonds on Broadway, in ladies'
ears and gentlemen's shirt fronts for a
very long time, as l have in the last
few bright days. If we haven't yet got
full chorus of prosperity, the tuning
up of triumphal trumpets is plainly to
be heard on every side.
A bereaved cat has been developing
remarkable industrial qualities in
Brooklyn. Cuckoos have been long
known to occupy the nests of other
birds, and lazy husbands in China are,
| am told, covered with feathers, and
set to Matching eggs. That is just what
this cat has been doing. Somebody
cruelty drowned her kittens, and some
chicken thief stole sitting hen. The
cat went to console the eggs. She was
driven off several times, but insisted on
trying the experiment, as to whether
fur wasn't as good as feathers or steam
machinery for the incubation of pOul-
try. The results were satisfactory. The
young chicks dance joyously all over
this stepmother, peck her ears and tail,
and generally behave with the friskl-
ness of kittens. She has raised several
large families from the eggs.
One of those subjects on which the
workingman and prison contractors are
likely to be ever divided is that of con-
Wet labor. An influential convention
of the State Prison Labor Commission
ers of Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New Jersey has been in session here for
some days, examining witnesses. The
upshot of this conference is awaited
with interest.
Scientific and other persons have been
looking out for the tail of "A collapsed
comet which it was supposed we should
pass through, enjoying free display of
fireworks of the most superb character,
but the event hasn't come off yet. Re-
ligious persons of certain turn of mind
have been looking for the end of the
world, which we were told was to occur
on the 18th. That little affair didn't
come off either. 1t is quite evident that
scientific persons and prophets some
times make mistakes. RADIX.

A Democratic Plot.

The "Maine conspiracy" is attracting
IL good deal of attention, and various
opinions are expressed in regard to it.
to an Augusta special to the
Boston journal, the prevailing one is
that the executive will do the counting
out if possible by using every possible
and take advantage of every
technical imperfection in the returns of
towns that gave republican majOrities,
but that they will not dare to go behind
the returns and arbitrarily change the
result without some plausible pretext.
There is no doubt but what E. F. Pills
bury is at the bottom of the whole ne
fariOus scheme, and that if his advice
is followed the executive will go any
length to get control of the legislature.
The matter has greater magnitude tn IN
the gubernatOrial and state office, as
the incoming Legislature can enact IA
law so that it can by special session
in December choose presidential elect
Ors and retain possession by the same
process another year and elect sena-
tor to Congress. In view of the mag
nitude of the scheme, the republicans
are awake to the Importance of ex-
hausting every means to block it.

The Plot in Maine.

The latest news from the Maine con-
spiracy is somewhat conflicting. If the
Democratic party is not attempting a
great fraud, the dispatches do them in
justice. A number of Republicans who
have every reason to believe that they
have been elected members of the Leg
lslature, but who have also every reason
to believe that they ale to be counted
out, have applied to the Council of state
officers for permission to see the re-
turns. So far they have not succeeded
in getting look at them. 1t seems
that under the laws of Maine there is a
period of twenty days, during which
errors in election returns can be cor
rected, and it is the general belief there
that the Council will prevent Republi-
cans from seeing the election returns
until this period has expired, when
redress for wrong will be difficult, il
not impossible. If this plot is carried
out 1T will be a fraud of the deepest
dye. The news this morning is to the
effect that the best men of the Demo-
cratic party are opposed to such a high
handed outrage on the freedom of cleo
lions. Gov. GarcelOn has already ap-
pointed the Republican candidate for
treasurer in Lincoln county, who was
elected by 80 majority only, which i,
one act of justice scored for the oppo-
sltlon. The country awaits the final
result with much interest and DO little
sOlicitude.
