THE PIVOTAL STATES.

New York and Ohio each puts in
the claim to be considered the "pivot-
al State" Yet in each of these
States, if majority were required to
elect, it is probable that there would
be no choice. Last fall the whole
vote cast in New York for the only
State officer to be chosen was 500, 900.
The Republicans gave their candi-
date 39l 900 and the Democrats gave
theirs $4,000. The Nationals threw
a little over $4,000 votes, and the
Prohibitionists about 4, 1000. Though
the Republicans gave $4,000 more
votes than the Democrats, they fell
off "a, 900 short of majority of the
entire vote, while, on the other hand,
the Democrats dropped $1,000 below
that mark. In Ohio the vote cast last
year for State candidates was 5SS, 900.
The Republicans threw 274,000, the
Democrats 100000, the Nationals a
little above $4,000, and the Prohibit
tionists nearly 5000. Though the
Republicans were 4, 900 votes ahead of
the Democrats, they were 10000 short
of an absolute majority, while the
Democrats fell $4,000 short. Since
that time the Democratic clements in
opposition to the Republican party
have steadily gained strength, and it
is confidently expected that by united
action at the polls the pivotal States
will show decided inclination of the
balance toward the side of the people.

Pointing TO the Verdict.

Already the verdict of the impair
tial and liberty-loving portion of
mankind begins to find expression
on the side of the Democratic party
in its struggle for the supremacy of
constitutional methods, and for the
freedom of elections.
The London Standard, an able
and apparently impartial authority,
thinks that President Hayes, in pro
voking the antagonism of the Demo
cratic majority, assumes position
of no little peril, and reminds him
that but for the friendly aid received
from the Democrats and denied by
his own party he could not have ac-
complished even partially the reforms
which he undertook at the outset of
his administration.
But no more important truth has
impressed itself upon the Standard,
which is that the Republican lead
ers dislike his (the Presidents inn
Partially and constitutional forbear-
ance in southern affairs; systematic
hostility to the white people of the
south being a fundamental element
of their party policy, and their chan
ces offuture ascendency resting main
ly on their ability to infuse that hos
tility into the masses of the northern
people y
The Republican party is not and
never has been in accord with a ma
jority of the American people upon
questions of political economy, and
it has been only by diverting the
minds of the people from those
questions and keeping their eyes fix
ed upon the symbolic "bloody shirt
that the party has been able to sur
vive the actual clash of arms.
To prove all this we need only APP
peal to the present attitude of the
Republican party leaders. Why have
they abandoned their party organiza-
ton in the South? Why do they now
ignore every issue in which the peo-
Ill e. L..
appeal solely to the sectional preju-
dices of the north against the SOUTH
Simply for the truth we have stated
On questions Of strict constitutional
construction the cool and deliberate
judgment of the people is and al
ways has been with the Democratic
party.

Considerable excitement lately pre-
vailed in the Kanawha valley in con-
sequence of the hanging of Mort Lee
the negro who attempted to outrage
a respectable white woman and the
row which followed at Hinton. The
negroes at that place were excited
over the cowhiding of some of their
number by Mr.. Peck an employee
of the c. q O. r. r. The negroes
gathered in force and threatened to
hang Peck in retaliation for the hang
ing of Lee, but were dispersed and a
Number Of them soundly thrashed by
the whites. In concluding a lengthy
article relative to the affair the Her
aid published at Hinton makes the
following remarks;
We are fully aware that the whole
affair was unlawful, and most deeply
regret the circumstances that gave
rise to it; and we are fully aware that
we will be advertised abroad as 8
violent and turbulent community
where life and property is not safe

pie are as conservative and law-abid-
ing (as q general rule) as can be
found anywhere, and this blot upon
our fair name would not have occurred
but for the peculiar state of affairs
set out in the beginning of this ar
ticle:
We drb no hpologist for lawless
ness in any manner, shape OF form
firmly believing that it is best and
safest to abide by the law, and have
all wrongs righted before the law
fully constituted tribunals of the
country.
In this instance the negroes com
menced the disturbance by taking
up an individual matter, and max
ing it the occasion for a war of races.
There areR number of quiet, law abid-
ing, well-to-do colored men in the
town, who own property, and who had
nothing whatever to do with the riot
Of Friday night, and who advised the
negroes against such wicked and
unlawful deeds. But Dick America,
James Nickel, Cary Lewis and Ben
Bird are all worthless, pestilent fell
lows, who have long cursed this com
munity with their presence, and who
have frequently violated the law, but
managed by their superior shrewd-
ness and cunning, to escape its
meshes. Both whites and blacks
will feel more secure when the conn
ty is permanently rid of these vicious
rascals.

YELLOW FEVER AGAIN.

Thirty-six pew cases of Yellow
Fever were reported in Memphis on
Monday The inhabitants of that
city are almost panic stricken and
are leaving in large numbers. Bust
ness is ALMOST suspended. The stores
are closed, and many of the towns
on the various railroads leading from
Memphis have quarantined against
that city. Aid has been asked from
the Government, and 1,400 tents and
rations for 10000 people for thirty
days have been sent them.

Female Seminary

The following article from the
Journal Of Education contains some
valuable suggestions for young ladies
here as well as elsewhere and we com
mend it to their careful attention.
In late issue of this Journal there
was an able and suggestive article
headed allow Shall Girls Prepare for
College?' We are happy to be able
to give a satisfactory answer to this
question, so far as the educational
advantages of Morgantown are con
cerned,
The Female Seminary, under the
careful and able charge of Mrs. Z. /.
Moore, offers thorough instruction in
Primary and Preparatory studies,
English branches and mathematics
belonging to the usual course of
study. In addition to this, thorough
instruction in Latin will be given by
q competent teacher, under the super
vision of Professor of the Universe
ty, until pupils are prepared for read
ing Caesar. After which, should there
be a sufficient number to justify it,
an instructor from the University
will take charge of the class until it
has completed the Latin course. The
same can be promised for Greek,
Higher Mathematics, Natural, Mental
and Moral Science, so that not only
would the preparation for College
be secured, but the College instruc-
ton.
Are there not many girls who will
be glad to avail themselves of this
opportunity? Who deferring their
entrance into society until later
period than is now usual, give the
precious years of youth to mental i'm
provement? Then when the proper
time arrives for each one taking upon
herself the duties of real life she may
merit the encomium of the poet s''Por-
trait"
with firm, and temperate will,

Girls have complained, and not
without cause, that the advantages
open to their brothers have been
closed to them; here is their oppor-
1tunity to prove to Legislative and 9th
er corporate bodies, their sincere de-
sire for, and appreciation of, these
advantages. And if this is sighted
their conduct will resemble in folly
that of a wayfarer who refuses to
quench his thirst at running stream

The coming visit OF the sixty-ninth New
York (Irish) Regiment to Montreal will not be-
entirely devoid Of unpleasant features. When
the Prince Of Wales visited New York the
Sixty-ninth refused to turn out with the other
local military to welcome him. This fact has
been published ID Canada and has created
something Of 9 sensation. The Canadian Irish
being extremely loyal, the discovery that the
visiting regiment put such an affront upon
the heir to the British crown Is said to be Ill
received, but as the invitation has been sent
and accepted there seems to be nothing left
but to receive the Sixty-ninth In the best man
ner possible. Perhaps, after all, the excite
ment over the matter is principally confined
to the Montreal newspaper offices.

THE KA1sER's GOLDEN WEDDING.

On Wednesday last Berlin honored with
wild enthusiasm the golden nuptials Of the
prince whom, thirty years ago, Berlin tried
to kill and drive from power, together with
his entire family. On the nineteenth March.
1847, when the then King OF Prussia, Fred
efiek w William, was compelled to look with I'M
covered head upon the combatants who had
fallen the day before In the assault OF the
populace on the arsenal, the palace OF Will
liam, the present Emperor, then Prince of
Prussia, was formally declared national prop
erty At that time the Grown Prince, Will
liam, was the most odious man In all Ger
many. To-day, with the imperial crown con-
ferred upon him at Versailles, he Is perhaps
the most beloved. Yet this change OF the
popular sentiment has not been due to any
concessions he has made to the people. On
the contrary, the people have been won over
to him.
III 1S4S the present Emperor refused to
sanction the concessions made by bis brother,
King Frederick William ~, tosthe revol1-
tionary populace OF Berlin. When the King
Withdrew to Potsdam, after vainly trying to
assuage the popular fury and excitement by
one concession after another, the crown prince
lutely refused to parley with rebellious
mob. In reply to a deputation Of citizens who
waited on him, he said: ut may be In the
councils of Almighty God that the house Of
Hohenzollern Ii to fall But Of this you may
be sure IL the house OF Hohenzollern falls, It
will fall sword In hand
The House OF Hohenzollern did not fall, and
II was due more to the present Emperor OF
Germany than to any ope else that such was
the case. He did not hesitate one moment.
He believed In the hereditary right Of his
family, and he upheld 1t firmly and with I'M
flinching courage. He swept the streets OF
Berlin with bis artillery, he refused to allow
Prussia to rule herself, and he was hated &C.
cordingly, and was even forced into tempo
rary exile. Yet this stern, unflinching sol
dier iS feted and honored to-day with the love
as well as loyalty Of bis people because OF the
ability and courage which has enabled him to
make Prussia dominate all OF Confederated
Germany; to restore his nation and race to
the proud position 1t had occupied for centu-
ries after the downfall Of the Roman empire;
to make OF II the grandest military Empire
OF the century; to make 1t and It's policies
the first consideration OF modern diplomacy,
and at the same time to assert itself all over
the world as one 81 the first commercial and
maritime powers On earth. These are truly
great and splendid achievements, and It ID for
these things that Berlin loves and honors Its
Emperor while Germans In all parts OF the
earth sympathise In the exultation with which
the fatherland celebrated the golden nuptials
Of the imperial couple.

During the month OF May 81 1857 passengers
arrived at the port OF New York, Of whom
Il, 100 were immigrants. For the same period
In 1876 only 1928 immigrants reached that
port The immigrants this year were divided
as to nationality as follows:s England, 1888;
Ireland, 3i42; Germany, 442O; Sweden, 25o1 !;
Norway, 1868; all other countries Ass. The
arrivals at New York during the year ending
May 81, 1879, numbered 1888, divided into
three classes: Immigrants, 92,so1; citizens
returned, 56,337; sojourners. 6o50; against ar
rivals In 1878 amounting In the aggregate to
1O1, 416. OF which 71,O9l were immigrants.
The figures are interesting as going to show
that the promise. last year of an increasing
immigration has been fully realized.
