Secretary Sherman in response to a
toast at the annual banquet OF the New
York Chamber of Commerce, made a
speech showing the increasing prosper
lty of the country. He said nearly
three million emigrants had arrived
during the past three years, and the
population of the United States is now
nearly $4,000, 600. A section which
was regarded as desert in his boyhood
is now, or soon will be, the greatest
wheat field and broadest pasture of the
world. Our mining resources are un-
bounded, and the taxes which formerly
barely paid the expenses of the Govern
ment, are now producing large sur.
plus, that of last year being estimated
at $780, 100000. He said paper money
should not be abolished but should be
redeemable and maintained at par. A
dollar i'll silver should contain enough
grains to equal in market value the gold
dollar, and the United States as great
commercial creditor should have the
best and highest standard. He alluded
to the SfS 0G0,o00 Of silver coin now
lying in the Treasury and favored the
recoining of it to make it of equal mar.
ket value with gold. He referred to
the fact that no country in the world

TEzEGRAPMIC ITEMS.

Eighty-six counties IN Illinois have
held conventions. The Grant men
claim that, exclusive of Cook county,
these counties have given majority of
30 in the State Convention. The anti
Grant men, on the other hand, claim
that they will have small majority in
the State Convention, which the Is
counties yet to be heard from will in
crease. They feel certain THAT the
Cook county delegation of 81 members
will be added. In fact, the members
of that delegation have decided to &C
cept no compromise, and to be admitted
as whole or not go into the Spring
field Convention at all In case the
Grant men are able to control the con-
vention before the Cook county delega-
ton is admitted, the probable outcome
will be two State conventions, two sets
of delegates to the Chicago Convention,
and bitter fight then at the outset.
The Wisconsin Democratic State
Convention elected uninstrueted dele
gates to Cincinnati. The resolutions
declare for an indissoluble union of
States; assert that the United States
are nation, but that the States have
certain constitutionally defined powers,
but that the nation has proper super
vision over all Interstate and interna-
tional affairs; denounce the heresy of
civil war, as also that of centralized
despotism; no reputation; rebel war
claims are bitterly denounced; advo-
cate interchangeable gold, silver and
paper money; commend the economy of
she Democratic Congress; Union SOL
diers are praised; troops at the polls
denounced, and Hayes pronounced
fraudulently seated.
An indignation meeting, protesting
against the confinement of Dennis
kearney in California, was held in
New York by the English-speaking Sc
ton of the Socialistic-labor party. Adj
dresses were made denouncing the SEN
tence, and resolutions were passed
sympathiziug with the prisoner. Sub

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION SET
TIED.

1t is useless to hold any more pr
mary meetings or State conventions fo
the purpose of electing delegates to Chi
cago or Cincinnati. Stump speeches
brass bands, torch light professions
campaign documents and the blood
shirt can all be dispensed with. Les
Republicans and Democrats shak,
hands across the bloody chasm, ant
only remember that they are all citi
zens of a common country. Retrench
nent in the public expenditures an.
reform in the civil service are of nc
avail, as neither appeals to reason OF to
prejudice can change the DEGREES Of
Fate. A New York astrologer informs
the Herald, Of that city, that the stars
have settled the Presidential question
in advance of the politicians. Jupiter
and Saturn; Mars and Venus the God
of War and the Goddess of Love, have
all combined against Grant and Blaine,
and neither the man on horseback nor
the Plumed Knight of the kennebec,
10 to be the nominee of the Chicago
Convention. Babcock, Belknap, Shep-
herd and the rest of them will drive
the silent man from the field, and as
the weather is 10 continue cool, sun
stroke will not save Blaine from the
blithing, whitening influence of the
MulligaB letters. Sherman will walk
off with the prize at Chicago, and not
withstandng his opposition to the Sill
yer bill, the most enthusiastic advocates
of the double standard in Nevada and
elsewhere will support him. Men who
reasonably claimed that John P. Jones
ought to have been elected without OPP
position from Nevada, because of his
advocacy OF that measure, will unani-
inously and enthusiastically support
Sherman because he opposed it. Til
den aud Bayard are to be the principal
candidates at Cincinnati, but Sammy's
Sarl will avail nothing, and Bayard,
whose star is in the ascendant, will be
awarded the empty honor of being the
Democratic standard bearer in the cam
paign. Local troubles and dissensions
i'll New York will result in the defeat
OF the Democracy, and after grand
and brilliant fight, John Sherman viii
win the fight by scratch. The astrol-
oyer, who, it appears, reads the stars
and interprets their meaning as easily
as ordinary mortals do the resolutions
OF political convention, says that be-
fore the expiration of Sherman's term,
in fact as early as 1882, there will be
great war in the United States. and
unless Sherman exercises great caution,
and keeps as far away from the strife as
he did during the rebellion, he will
meet with serious accident. As the
stars have settled the Presidential
question, without expense, save
the fee paid the star reader, it
is folly for people to trouble
themselves further about the matter,
but gracefully submit to the inevitable,
and accept the situation without a MUIR
muir. Sherman is by no means the
choice of the people of Nevada for Pres
'dent, but the stars, which govern the
affairs of men, are not influenced by the
few thousand voters in the Sagebrush
State.

A HaFbOr for Smyrna.

A meeting was called on Friday
night last in Smyrna to take measures
to secure an appropriation to clean out
the obstruction at the Creeks mouth.
On motion John N. Voshell was called
to the chair and W. T. Lavender ap
pointed Secretary. The object of the
meeting was stated by John Il. Hofreck-
er and remarks were also made by Da-
vid J. Cummins, A. L, Hudson, Robert
Il. Cummins and J. W. Denney. On
motion the following citizens were ap.
pointed to 70 to Washington to ask
through our Representatives an appro.
pristion from Congress to effect this
object: George W. Cummins, John H..
Hofecker, John E. Tygert, David J..
Cummins, John C. Bailey, J. W. Den
ney, A. L. Hudson, John N. Voshell,
John B. Cooper and John E. Collins.
The three last are from and represent
the board Of Town Commissioners. The
water just in the mouth Of the Creek is
said to be ten or twelve feet at low tide
and il the sand bar could be removed,
the Creek would afford an excellent
hsrbor for vessels to run into in time Of
storms, all the more desirable because
there is NO other place Of safety below

A DEMoCRATIC QUARREL

most . EiEhG Followed ~ ApoLs.
CLOS. &
The second family quarrel which has
broken ont among the Democrats on
the floor Of the House this week took
place yesterday. As on last Monday,
one OF the participants was an Illinois
member. The trouble arose while the
House was in Committee OF the Whole,
and was oosasionsd BY the defeat Of an
amendment which Chairman Sparks, Of
the Military Committee, had under in
struotions from his Committee, offered
to the Army Appropriation bill.
Mr.. Sparks was very much disturbed
by this defeat and with some appear.
ance Of excitement said that he should,
on behalf of the Military Committee,
demand the yeas and nays when the
bill was reported in the House.
Mr.. Clymer, Of the Appropriations
Committee, who had charge of the bill,
said he would not promise to allow thai
as he had received no request from the
Military Committee that it should b.
done.
Mr.. Sparks at once few into o pas.
sion. He strobe up the aisle near Mr..
Clymer's seat, and as he leaned over
and shook his fist at that gentleman,
he shouted, If you mean to intimate,
etc.," and closed his remark by calling
Mr.. Clymer a liar, with an ST."
The House was at once thrown into
the greatest confusion. A hundred
members were on their feet at once, and
a score were shouting for order. Mr..
Springer, who was in the chair, raped
in vain for order. hr. Clymer made
some reply which could not be heard.
Mr.. Sparks kept his threatening atti-
tude and continued to yell, bat nothing
except the word ''liar," repeated
half dozen times, could be heard above
the din.
The Chairman at last succeeded In
restoring some degree OF order, aud Mr..
Conger demanded that the offensive
language used by Mr.. Sparks be read
10 the House. After this had been done
and the Chairman Of the Committee of
The whole reported to the speaker what
nsa occurred, Mr.. Sparks made an &po
ogy, which was accepted by Dir. ely
ner, and. after scms hesitation, by the
Souse.
