FLOODS IN HUNGARIA.-Nearly all the
rivers and brooks in Transylvania have
overlooked, laying under water vast tracts
Of country, and destroying bridges and
sweeping away farming utensils, cattle and
grain. In some cases the inhabitants were
for days on trees and the roofs of houses,
waiting rescue. The OVERLOOKING Of the
rivers Karos and Maros has caused fearful
destruction. The city of Arad, on the
Maros, and several other towns have been
ruined, and their Inhabitants driven away.
Fully 10000 persons have been rendered
homeless. Six villages have been ruined
by the flood near Arad. Many entire
families, who had found refuge in the
neighboring woods, were frozen to death.
Several hundred persons are missing"

TEA TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.-A new tea
has, says the European Mail, just been in.
troduced into Paris, which has the virtue of
preserving the brilliancy and beauty of
early youth up to the ripest age. This tea
is called the Serkys tea. 1t is composed
of exquisitely refreshing and balsamic
plants, growing on the foot Of mountains
Of Mecca and Libanus. 1t has the prop.
srty of rendering the skin firm and soft,
giving youthful and fresh color to the
complexion. 1t is, moreover, so pleasant
To the taste that the sultanas of the East
make it their daily and favorits beverage.

EDIsoN's TRIUMPH.-The electric light.
incredible as it may appear, is produced
from little piece of paper, a tiny strip
that breath would blow away. Through
this little strip of paper is passed an cleo
tic current, and the result is a bright,
beautiful light the mellow sunset of an
Italian autumn. He makes this little piece
Of paper more infusibls than platinum and
more durable than granite by baking it in
an oven until all its elements have passed
away except its carbon framework. The
latter is then placed in glass globe con.
nected with the wires leading to the
electricity producing machine and the air
exhausted from the globe. 1t gives out a
light that produces no dslstsriouS gaSes-a
light that is a globe of sunshine, and pro-
duced cheaper than the cheapest oil.

Sergeant Rhodes Case Again.

TO He Editor of he National Republican:
SIR: Why do you publish such letters as
that of Sergeant Rhodes2' When we read of
the dcstituton Of some of our comrades aud
then reflect upon the fact that every depart
ment contains a large number Of Coppcrhcads,
men who say "old Grant butchercd moe men
than Lee had under his command It forces
the conclusion that our leaders consider the
country safe MS soon as they get into office. 1t
is a fict known TO every Republican clerk in
tho Departments that about one-half of the
desks are occupied by Democrats, and they are
the ones who get the promotions. 1t is to the
honor of the Democratic party that it does not
prefer its enemies instead of its friends to fill
the Offices. When the Democracy comes in
power, if 1t ever does, they will not permit
clerks to sit at their desks with copy Of the
New York Tribune, discussing politics from
that standpoint. 1t is not an unusual sight
nowadays to see and hear clerks reasoning
from tho columns Of the post JUSTICE.

POLIIICIL NOTES.

4 LEADING Democratic paper Of Virginia opposes
the election Of sam Randall for Speaker on the
ground that the hands of the South not yet ont
OF the lions mouth and that "it will be time
enough for Southern Speaker when Il Democratic
President shall have not only been elected, but in
augurated.'
EVEN the Missouri Republican, the ablest and
straghtest Democratic paper west of the Missis.
sippi, Is constrained TO admit that as between Sec
retary Sherman and the late Democratic House of
Representatives, the economic ideas of Mr. Sher
man are much TO be preferred TO those Of the aver
age Congressman.
INDIANA Is having taste OF Democratic reform
in the management of legislative affairs. An extra
session has been made necessary because the Dem.
ocratlc members Insisted upon delaying the public
business By partisan legislation. 1t Will soon be
generally understood that Democratic marlority
in any legislative body means an extra session.
CONGRESSMAN SINGLETON, OF Illinois, Is an anti.
Tilden Democrat with an original plan for counter.
acting the persuasive influence OF that bar'l. lie
says Il Is mistake TO think that Tidcn is free with
his money. since established facts show that he
isn't Singleton says he knows several Democrats
who spent money freely to nominate Tilden in
lSIG, and they have not been reimbursed yet.
Singletons ticket is Hancock and Sam Cary, as the
only combination strong enough TO beat Grant. 1t
would probably be too strong" for Hancock.

THE REPuBLICAN MISSION.

The Republican party Is more party of
principle than OF policy. 1t was conceived
in truth aud born of equity and justice. 1t
has received a baptism of blood through n
fearful and destructive rebellion, and it
lives as the nations safeguard amid new
trials and fresh dangers. It's principles seek
no alliance with the elements of dcma-
gogery, neither do they on the score Of cX-
pedicucy seek strength from what is known
as political cunning, but which claims to be
sagacity. The Republican Gauss relies upon
the purity and conserving power of its prin-
ciples for its own triumphs aud for the per-
petuity Of the Republic. 1t were better
that the party should cease to exist than
that it should live life OF Inconsistency,
fraud, and corruption, such rs marks the
history OF its opponent.
The Republican party cannot embrace
policies that are not based in the elements
of truth, equality, and justice. All Others
are delusions. Their trumphs are ephem-
eral, as are their benefits, should any ac-
cruc. 1t never has and never will seek af-
Citations that in principle are not kindred
with those which it embraces in its creed
On this platform, and this alone, will it sur
vive or perish. Under the banner of its
principles it will make its contests, and
share victory or defeat as the gage Of bat.
tie shall determine. With these princi-
pies as its banner aud shield it has con
fronted treason and rebellion, and has thus
fur wrought out the salvation Of the nation
What it has done it will do again under q
return Of the opportunity. The Republican
| party has no promises to make that are moi
assured in its past record 1t will nevcl
compromise with wrong for temporary adj
vantage but relying upon the power and
justice Of its principles, it will resist all as
saults upon the integrity of the Govern
ment and the majesty Of its laws, no matte
when or from what source they may come
This is its standing ground, Its oGiectiy,
point is the salvation of the nation agans
all its enemies.

mocracy, controlled as that party has been aud
still continues to be by tho element which
struck at the life of the nation aud which has
since the surrender Of Leo pcrsistently struck
at aud joopardized the public credit. The
contempt in which the ruling clnsses in the
Democratic party have for years held the
workingmen the "mudsills' of society, has
eliminated in systematic Acknowledgement
OF million of workingmen in Que. half of our
common country. What exists to-day in South
Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and nearly every
other Southern State, may be violently thrust
tomorrow upon other sections of this Republic,
until the name of American citizen" becomes
mere byword aud reproach.
The Democratic party does not condemn the
outrages perpetrated upon American citizens
in the South 1t therefore sanctions them, aud
to warn foreign-born adopted citizens Of the
danger they themselves incur IL they support
such party becomes u duty too plain to be
overlooked.
We propose to "fghC IL out on this limo "tii
once more in 1880 tho party which emanci-
pated five millions Of human chattels, pre-
served the integrity of the Union against re-
bellion, restored the national credit on 6rmer
basis than ever, be again vindicated at the
