under the heading-Orwell, l read that
which consider TO be very far from the
truth. Up to the present date l have not
heard any one chide themselves for being
out spoken on the side of temperance or
for the course pursued against intemper
ance. That there were some disappoint-
ments may be true, but as one of those
who fell few votes short of election, /
can say that l will never sacrifice my
principles to secure any election am an
outspoken temperance man and propose
to do what believe to be right let it
strike where it may and if my friends do
not wish to vote for me because OF it, |
can only say Amen. / also say that |

Our ORWELL correspondent writes TO say,
privately, that no allusion was intended in
her last weeks article, to the person most
aggrieyed. This apology, it would seem,
might be sufficient, but in addition, We
have given him.-as we suppose-an oppor-
tunity to make his own comments, which
ought certainly to be sufficient between a
gentleman and lady.

GEORGE w. JONES is one Of the
old guard in the democratic ranks
in this State. He has been honored
by bis party with a seat in Congress
for several, we don't know how
many, consecutive terms. He has
written letter recently, in which
he comes out strong for Tilden. He
goes so far as to say that it is Tilden
or nothing-that the defeat Of Til
den will be death blow to all hopes
of democratic success. We mentioned
a few days since that Hon. Gustayus
A. Henry, "the Eagle Orator."
had come out for Tilden. He seems
to be popular with the old politicians.
The young democracy, however, do
not like their Uncle Samuel, and
the prospect for him to get the vote
of Tennessee at Cincinnati is not
fattering.

Ii is known that citizens of the
United States have had for many
years claims against the govern
ment of Venezuela. Originally
they amounted to about a million
and quarter, and, although pay
ment has been made, the accumu>
lated interest makes the whole
claim about that amount still. The
Venezuelan government has been
procrastinating the time Of pays
ment in an exaSperating way. Sec
rotary Evarts has suggested that
coercion be employed to enforce the
payment, which may result in just a
little trouble in the way of a war.
1t would be small thing for the
United States to fight, but if Ven
ezuela will not do right without it,
then fight can not be avoided.

Mr.. MCMILLIN, one Of the repre-
sentatives in the lower house of
congress from Tennessee, is a
young man, serving his first term.
He is about as far wrong politically
as it is possible for man to get,
but he is decided Improvement on
the average democratic congress
man from the south. In a colloquy
between himself and Mr.. Kelly, of
Pennsylvania, few days ago, he
was provoked to retort upon the
latter gentleman upon question of
manhood. Instead of jamming his
hand into his 'hip-pocket and with
blood in his eye, clustering that he
was responsible for what he said
there and elsewhere" instead Of
playing the bombastic bully,
he simply observed: manhood,
Mr.. Speaker, manhood on this floor
is the observance of the rules.
Without entering into the merits o
the controversy between the TIVE
congressman, we feel that Mr.
McMillin deserves credit for the
manner of his reply. 1t is SO differ
ent from the usual custom with
congressman from our section Of th'
country, that it must attract atten
ton. The gentleman has set hi
associates good example and We
trust they will profit by it.

Fseoting in Crest Britain.

The voting device called fagoting in
Britain, but unknown here, though
somewhat allied to what we name " col
onization," promises to be freely adopted
in the Scotch Borough of d-Lothian
during the contest between Gladstone
and the Duke of Buccleuch. Fagots
are, it may be necessary to explain, bum
dies Of voters who, sharing the political
views Of some landowner, get sufficient
land from him to qualify them for the lo-
cal franchise. The transfer is open and
veritable; but the land, as everybody
understands, reverts to the original own
er as soon as the election is over. In
Midlothian political excitement runs
hiph. and the Conservatives are increas-
ing their strength by a creation of fagot
voters. As the Duke is no orator, his
competitors telling speeches have
alarmed him. Having plenty OF land, he
is cutting it up, and conveying It, for the
time. to help his cause. The Liberals,
well aware Of this, and prevented from
doing the same thing, because they have
been vehemently denouncing the trick,
have been much concerned AZ to their
success. and have recently formed a
scheme to set of the dukes fagoting
The British courts have decided Of late
that members OF building societies own
ing houses are fully qualified for suf-
frage. Consequently an extraordinary
amount Of building is going on Just now
in the suburbs Of Edinburgh. Htrollers
along the Dairy road, west OF the city,
have been struck by the appearance OF q
number Of dwellings, going up with an
American degree Of rapidity, and BY the
occasional cheers for Gladstone from
groups Of lookers-on. The initiated
understand it completely.

Sensational Photographs.

not less than 20, 900 pictures OF all sorts
of peculiar people, popular preachers,
prominent politicians, editors, authors,
actors, singers, fiddlers, poets, pianists,
statesmen, composers, Beechers, Trains,
and many more, not easily classed, but
sure to be called for. And for all these
there is an enormous and constant de-
mand Once Oakley Hall sent to this
dealer an order for " "All the leading ac-
tors, actresses and opera singers who
have appeared ON the New York stage
within ten years." No less than 800
photographs were sent for his inspection,
from which he selected some $50, put
them in handsome album; and pre-
sented them to the Lotus Club. The
late Bryant was one Of the most pestered
to sit men in the city; photographers
were always after him and he always was
amiable. Peter Cooper sits on extreme
pressure (and ON his hair cushion). The
late A. T. Stewart refused point blank
every invitation. Emerson, over and
