WASHINGTON, October l4.-Tho Cabinet
Will hayo two savory subjects for considora-
ton at this first meeting aftor tho summor
vacation. They are tho cases of Postmaster
Tylor, at Baltimore and of Postmaster Nix,
at Blaokvillo, S. 9. Tho Nix case is uu.
doubtcdly to bo mado tho basis Of action
which will prcciptato bitter and prolonged
political debate in Congress, covering tho
whole field Of the State sovereignty question.
Tho politicians arc working at tho matter
now, and tho toxts for tho speeches are being
framed. The first point is to ascertain thu,
tho United States undor existing statutes,
has no power or authority to proceed origi-
nally against tho persons who aro alleged to
have attempted to assassinato Nix, and that
it also has no authority to transfer the cause
from tho State to Federal courts, rs by spc-
cific statute tho general government has the
right to do in cases Of revenue agents.
Members Of the Cabinet insist that if no
such right now exists it is timo that thcro was
a law giving tho general government such
powor, and undoubtedly such legislation will
DO asked Of Congress. Tho specific form in
which the request is likely to como is that tho
law which gives tho United States such nu-
thority in cases Of revenue agents bo cxtcndcd
30 as to include within its provisions cnses of
postmastcrs or Of other Federal officers.
This, Of course, will be request for another
delegation of powers from tho States to the
general government, and will ncccssa'
rily involve in it discussion out of which u
great deal of politics can bo made. Tho
issues involved in tho statute which now
gives the general government tho authority to
transfer causes cf revenue agents from State
to Federal courts will bc discussed in tho
Supreme Court within two or three weeks.
The ohor case which tho Cabinet will have
to consider is that Of Postmaster Tyler, at
Baltimore. Mr. Tyler was originally an
Ohio man, was in an Ohio regiment, and is
said 70 have been personal friend Of tho
President and in such capacity to have rc-
ccvcd his appointment rs postmaster at
Baltimore, n city in which ho has been resi-.
dent for about ten years. The charges
against Mr.. Tyler affect his moral character,
and the testimony taken by special agents is
said to bc of very sensational nature and to
be avcrso to Mr. Tyler. a great deal of
mystery has been made about this testimony
1t is concealed and kept under lock and key
awaiting the return of Mr.. Hayes. General
Tyler has tnkcn tho unusual step Of engaging
counsel to mid in preventing his removal. II
the testimony is ever published. those who
should know say that it will disclose ono of
the greatest scandals ever connected with any
administration

The Result Of tho Election.

Tho election in Ohio and Iowa has resulted
in favor Of the Republicans. This result has
been brought about, the Democrats say, by tho
division in their party on the subject Of cur
rcncy. The Republicans contend that tho
"Solid South" will mako "Solid North !"
and that this with tho extreme course Of somo
Of the Democrats at the last session Of Con-
gross, has given them the victory now and
assures their success in the next Presidential
election.
Thorc arc doubtless grains Of truth in both
of these propositions; nevertheless, a change
In the course oil tho Democrats, with the
nomination of acceptable men for oricc horo.
after, mny give the Democrats tho victory in
1850. Hereafter no noisy. sectional man
should bo sent to Congress from tho South
and candidates for State officers everywhere
should pe on the Hampton order.
The result of these elections bring Mr..
Iildcn forward moro prominently than ever
for the Presidency. In our judgment, he is
tho only Democrat who has tho ghost of a
chance for election. Wo regard his nomina-
ton as certainty almost.

The Fair Play and Westminster Railroad
is still progressing in the way of rccciving

Capt. Whit. Broylcs will be elected Su-
pcrintcndent of the Fair Play Whcclbarvow
Line.
Mr.. Cobb, the soap man, says that the
people Of Virginia live with more case than
tho people of South Carolina, because tho
people of the latter State have no. enough
time to do anything in. "No matter" he
says, "what turns up to be done, the people
of South Caroiua have no time to attend
to it, llc does not exactly agree with Mrs.
Potts, about the difference Of the people in
tho two States
The rains of last Friday night and Sat-
urday have done considerable damage to
bottom corn and cotton. The corn along
tho river was completely submurged and
remained in that condition for twenty. four
hours. Tho river was higher than it has
been for years. 1t rose, SO am informed,
to within five feet of tho timbcrs of Knox s
Bridge. 1t is feared that the greater por--
ton of the corn on the river and creek
bottoms will be ruined by this overflow,
which will be a heavy loss for number of
our farmers. Pumpkins, fodder, corn, fence
rails, &c., Aoatcd down the river in great
quantities. AS soon as can will give
you as near az possible an estimate of tho
damage caused by the rain.
If frost holds off for week or so thcro
will be good crop Of top cotton made.
Some Of the farmers are hopeful over their
prospects in tho top crop OF cotton, claim
ing that it will increase the yield one hulf
to two-Lhrds.

moderate Democrats in Congress would
havo tho power to prevent tho carr

if wo have say twenty uajority of tho
electoral votes, think thoro will bo no such
danger as you suggest" Tho President,
however. said there might be somo trouble if
tho result should depend on small State
like Colorado or Oregon; but his boliof was
that public sentiment would find remedy
and settle the difficulty in the right way.

The Internal Revenue Service.


The reader will rccolcct the many ugly things
that have been alleged against those engaged in
tho execution Of tho informal Revenue Laws of
the United States, especially against deputy
marshals. Thc special revenue force, appontc cd
ny MIR. Brayton, has also come in for share of
criticism. Doubtless much that has been alleged
IS truc but the authorities say they arc cndcav-
oring TO reform the service: TO work bad men
out and put in better ones. Mr.. Wallace, United
'es Marshal for South Carolina, appoints the
deputy marshals and Mr.. Brayon appoints the
special force, rs it is called, and also the deputy
collectors. Recently Mir. Jilson, deputy col
lector, has been ordered from Grccnvillc to
Wolhala. When it was known that n change
was to be made strong petition. signed gene
rally BY The people of Grccnvillc, was forwarded
to MIR. Brayton, asking him 10 allow MIR. Jillson
10 remain at Grccnvillc. This he could not do
The interests of the service demanded tha. MIR.
Jlllson be sent TO Wnlhalla. This has been
done. Mr.. Jillson is here TO enforce an unpopu-
lar law. We feel authorized to say, however,
that he will do his duty and no more. His
course at Grccnvillo for years commended him
TO the people as q faithful ofliccr and one who
respected tho rights of the people MS we'll Mr..
Jillscn is here to do his duty and nothing more.

innowing tide Of gold from Europe. 1t APP
peara, even from tho partial reports so far
received, that tho Democratic candidate in
Ohio owes his defeat chiefly to tho stern
hostility provoked among tho German borh
Democrats Of Hamilton County by his fnan-
oal hcrcsies.
lFrom the Washington Post, Democrat.
This is disheartoning intelligence Wo
had hoped, oven when it was evident that
Fosor had bccn elected to tho Govornorship.
that the Legislature would turn out to have
Democratic majority on joint ballot. and tho
fact that tho reverse is really truo is what
makes it II serious disappointmont. Tho re-
suit is probably due. more than anything else.
to the unfortunate stand of Gen. Ewing on tho
financial question. Tho people of Ohio owls
dcntly do not bolovo in soft money On tho
whole we think it is about time for the Demo-
cratic party to recognize tho fact that this is
hard money country Let it return to its old
timo principles and act, in ovcry instance,
accordingly.
From the Now York Tribune, Rcpublican.J
This great victory must not bo bclittled by
| assigning it to too narrow causes. 1t is not
the result of Mr.. Fostcy's energetic canvass,
nor of the labors of any one man. however
able and sincere! 1t is not tho result OF tho,
Sherman boom, nor Of the Grant boom, norof
the Blaine boom, nor Of tho Hayes boom.
All these currents in the campaign bavo had
their effect, no doubt. but tho ono mighty
cause has been the profound conviction of tho
people that tho interests Of tho country would
not be safe for tho next four years in Demos
cratic hands.
From tho Philadelphia Press. independently
Tho vote Of Ohio simply means that tho
present national attitude Of tho Democracy
has recalled Republican desettcrs, straggors
and grumblers back to their party allegiance,
and that the State has anchored herself in tho
Republican column for 1880. Tho Ohio idea
ought to bo allowed to stay dead this tmc.
1t has great deal Of impudcncc, but it corr
tainly can't havc enough to attempt to impose
itsclfu upon anybody anymore.
