his species, the price 10 decidedly ABOVE MS
market rate. But the case reached Its climax
in absurdity yesterday when the fascinating
widow Observation-Disclosures to sh0wtliat the nus
band and wife did not live happily together
and cited the fact that she once received
black eve from bis manly hand This infamous
conduct on the part of the wife certainly JUST
fed the husband in leaving her, and the man
who on O certain historic occasion inserted his
nose between the teeth of the other man was e
quarrelsome and overbearing brute.
Our Washington dispatches describe the ex-
traordinary delay of the House of Representa-
tives in passing the Immediate Deficiency
bill. This was an urgent bill in every sense OF
the word. Many of the pensioners are waiting
for its passage. The hapless crews OF the vessels
frozen in the Arctic seas are waiting for 1t. Inc
United States marshals, to whom the Govern
ment has been in debt for ten months, are
waiting for it. But the House waited nearly
four months before it would pass the bill, and
now on its return from the Senate with amend
| ments, the House Committee stub6Ornly refuses
| to report it. During the two weeks 1t has Deen
| IN possession Of the Committee, two AppropT1a-
ton bills apprOpriating money which cannot be
paid out and is not needed before July, have
been reported, and one of them has been put
through the House. Democratic spite against
| the United States marshals prevents justice to
the needy pensioners of the Nation, and may
utterly Illustrate the plans mercifm men have
formed for the relief of the prisoners in the
laws of the Arctic ice, for the expedition must
start in few days if at all. This is noble
| spectacle.
Mr.. Tilden will have, of course, q majority
| of the delegates to the regular Syracuse Con-
vention. The figures given elsewhere indicate
that his preponderance will be even greater
than has been expected. At the same time
there is no reason to look for harmonious
Convention. The Kelly Convention will be all
for Kelly, but the Tilden Convention will not
be all for Tilden, 1t must be remembered that
most of the active leaders of the Democracy Ill
the State are opposed to Dir. Tlden, and that
few of them had the courage TO follow MT.
Kelly out of the party. Few of them had any
desire to do so, for they were not ready to de-
stroy their own records as Democrats for the
sake of spiting Mr.. Tilden. We may expect
therefore to see the same bitter contest against
him that always takes place, and-the Gus
tomary result. But the difference between the
present campaign and that of four years ago
must strike every observer, and must be painful
to the Gramercy Park leader. Four years ago
county after county was shutting the Reform
candidate" with laudatoTy resolutions and
loudly demanding his nomination. Now his
own friends, while they are making ready to
vote for him, have not the courage to mention
his name. There are no resolutions worth
mentioning. The machine works smoothly,
and produces its delegates, but there is not
even the pretence of enthusiasm. The IRE
form record has been shivered to shreds by
half dozen exposures, running from clphers
TO the railroads. The Fraud cry has been
silenced by the exposure Of actual fraud. No
Democrat can praise his candidate and look his
fellow man in the eye at the same time. This
is strange state of things, and it would seem
that it must have it's influence on the result at
Cincinnati il not at Syracuse.
