The Gre nback party of Oaio, though
not so very large at the best, seems to
be capable of dividing off into almost
any number of subdivisions. At the
regular National convention a consid-
cradle portion of the party bolted to
help Ewing, and now these same bolt
ers have held another convention, at
which another bolt took place, one par
ty going to the Ewing party and the
other back to the Nationals. 1t is like
ly that this boiling will be kept up
while two men are found to hold a con-
vention. Meanwhile the Republi-
cans are closing up their serted ranks
and becoming united for a grand vic
tory in October.

COuklinE's Muscle.

The DEMocRATIc dislike to Mr.. Conk'
lug, is for a twofold reason. He is not
only superior in mental ability to any
Democratic Senator, but his ply steal
development and pluck is so well known
that the Democrats not only fear but
hate him. A Washington correspond
eut in referring to the "enmity" in the
8 Senate the other day says, the Demo
Gratis some time ago made up their
minds that they would not stand his
insolence, and had not Lamar pounced
upon him some other Senator must
have done SO sooner or later. So great
| is the Democratic hatred Of Conkling
that very few Of them pass the COM
monest civilities with him. On the
Republican side he is almost as unpop-
ular. The Republicans are very proud
Of his ability and his fighting propen-
sities-he helps out the timid wonder
fully-but he is on good terms with
very few, and such are mostly those
who are willing to be patronized by
him. Nobody doubts Conkling's phys,
ical courage. He would fight at the
drop of hat, but he would never send
challenge, and do not believe he
would accept one. The probability is
that he would kick down stairs the
man who would bring him a hostile
message. Personally Conkling is an
athlete. He stands six feet three
inches high. His shoulders are broad
and his muscles like wire cables. Be,
sides he is a trained symnast. He prac'
tises daily with Indian clubs, dumb
bells, horizontal bars, sand bags and
boxing gloves, and with the latter hi
is very expert. So it would not be
healthy for any Senator on that floor
to try conclusions with Conkling in
physical enco unter."

IT Is STATED on what appears to be
good authority that Ewing, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio,
formed an alliance with Samuel j. Til
den, whil- in New York recently.
Hendricks is to be dropped, and Ewing
in the event Of his el ction for Governor
Of Ohio, is to have the nomination tol
Vice President. Tilden is old and fee
bic, and in the event Of his election ant
then his death, Ewing as second on tn,
ticket, would step into the Office o
President. AS the Republican candi
date, whoever he may be, will be elect
et in 1850, this bargain and salt
amounts to nothing.

INTEREST RATEs,-With the revival of
trade, money has become more plenti-
full and the owners Of surplus funds are
looking for safe investment with the
best rate of interest. Governments
will not now realize over four psr cent.
and our city securities pay only four
and half.
Thus while all other reliable securi,
ties are paying reduced rates, our city
Saving Banks, while they present the
best guarantee of safety, in the charac.
ter of their mana ayers, and in mainta in :
ing good surplus fund, make semi
annual dividend, at the rate of five per
cent. payable every six months if de-
sired, or if no. withdrawn becoming at
once entitled to future dividend, per-
manent deposits thus compounding in
terest twice in each year. The increase
OF funds thus deposited gives unmistak-
able evidence of the fact that our citi-
zens are beginning to appreciate the
advantages OF putting their money in
these institutions. Deposits in Saving
Banks have this advantage over every
other investment, that they may b-
made in sums so small that they can
not be otherwise used to produce re-
turns. If small savings are retained
by the owner until sufficient sum is
on hand to invest in National or other
securities, they are suffering the loss of
interest, besides being subject to the
risk of loss by fire or theft. Deposited
in trustworthy Saving Bank they be-
come profitable at once, and that too at
good rate of interest.

A NOTE
Rotten Boilers.

The accident at East Texas, Lshigh
County, Pennsylvania, by which seven
men lost their lives by the blowing up
of an old rotten boiler should teach us
An important lesson, for there are nc
doubt many such boilers in use. This
one referred to was an old overhauled
boiler, that had once before exploded
and the rotten pieces though as thick
as iron generally used for such pur-
poses. were gathered up and bolted and
riveted into boiler again. 1t should
have been the duty Of somebody to have
examined that boiler, and prevented
the brash untempered metal from being
used a second time, but there seemed
be be nobody to whom such business be-
longed and the old thing was allowed
to be loaded up with more than she
could carry, resulting in the death Of
seven men, leaving seven wives in wild
Owhood and orphaning a score OF chill
dreH. 1t was in vain that the engineer
said from time TO time that the old
boiler would explode again, the cupid
ty of the company led them to run the
fearful risks for the little profits there
were in the business no matter if it did
result in the death of number of hu-
man beings.
As there are number of old second
hand boilers in use in and around Will
mington, it is pertinent to know that
they are not only in good condition but
to know whether the iron of which they
are built has that elasticity and volume
which render them safe. Old cast of
boilers are always in demand on account
of their cheapness, by persons going
into business in small way, and con.
sequently there is great need Of a boiler
inspector that has ability, honesty and
character above reproach that these old
second hand boilers,as we'll as new ones
should be critically inspected each year
and a certificate of such inspection
given. Boiler explosions fortunately
are few and far between, but they dc
take place occasionally with fearful effect
and it is to avoid these effects that
there should be competent and honest
Inspector Of boilers in each city.

The editor of the Hgnterdon Democrat is

him to utterly pervert what we wrote in re-

the kind. What we did say he is very careful
not to tell his readers.
But according to the "eternal fitness of

THE INEDRIATE BrLL,--It was misfor-
tune 10 a very praiscworthy object that, last
Winter, the bill for the more humane treat
ment of the inebriate class in New Jersey,
was designed to add to the public expense as
well as to the list of the States public char
tiles. The enormous expense of the Insane
Asylum made our Legislators sensitive on the
subject Of new institutions, and the result
WAS that tho Inebriate Asylum bill was de-
fcated.
On the other hand there was, as there is
now, a very strong popular conviction that
the policy of licensing the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, and of Furnishing as criminals
and vagabonds those who habitually drink
themselves into a state of utter helplessness
aud uselessness by Imprisonment or fine. or
Dotn, was ana IS Iegalized inliumanity and
cruelty, resulting in the increased degreda-
tion of the victims.
Had the measure now offered in the Assem-
bly, been offered last Winter, it would, in all
likelihood, have become law. This bill does
not propose any increase of the public burd-
ems II does not ask for an appropriation out
of the State or local treasures. Ii does not
propose taxation of tho property of the peo-
pie for the support of the iuebriates of the
State, What it proposes is simply that a
small addition shall be made TO the license
fees, where licenses are granted, the same to
be placed in the State treasury to the credit
of the State Inebriate Asylum. In word
this bill proposes that the liquor traffic of tho
State shall be taxed to meet the expense Of
caring for the helpless victims of that traffic
That the principle is perfectly just no right
thinking man will deny. As matters now are
every taxpayer in the State has to pay for the
keeping of this unfortunate class IN our iails
and poor houses. The proposed reform is
both wise and humane.-State Gazette.

Subsequently he paid them and was released
The action of Judge Woodruff in affirming
the arrest asserts that the imprisonment for
refusing to pay taxes is legally correct, and it
is thought that a number Of other arrests will
be ordered Three persons have already been

TWELVE MILLIONS OF PRoFIT.-- In Febru-
airy, 1876, the issue of fractional paper curren-
cy was stopped aud all that currency present.
cd was redeemed in fractional silver. Since
then the fractional silver has gradually taken
the place Of the fractional paper. When the
issue of the latter ceased there was $45, 000,-
600 of itoutstanding A commission appoint-
Ell by Secretary Sherman estimated that of
this amount about $4,000, 600 would never be
presented for redemption, having been de-
stroyed or lost. 1t now appears that this
estimate was rather too small. There is still
outstanding abont SIG ,O00 900 fractional paper
currency, of which amount about So 600, 900
is in three cent and five cent notes. 1t is now
estimated that there win Ultimately be re-
deemed only $4,000,0O0 leaving $l2. 200, 900 as
profit to the government. The redemption OF
fractional paper currency has steadily decreas-
ed since 1876, and now only small SUMS are
received for redemption.
