They have broken out with Democratic ratifca-
ton meetings IN Kentucky, just though the State
were not absolutely and irretrevably Democratic.
1t seems little singular at first blush that in
State where they have everything pretty much
their own way they should take the trouble to
start the canvass early and in 80 encr-
getc a manner. The circumstance Is partially
explained by the speech made at one of
these meetings by the Hon. Boyd Winchester,
In which he said and kept saying this
sort of thing: Like the current OF the mighty river
we have been divided for time by some enyous
islands but in the presence of the accomplished
fact of a nomination, the current must speedily
unite again to flow on In mingled might and
majesty to certain and assured victory The war

cnTERNMENT TAKLNG CHARITT.

Our Washington dispatches present some
extraordinary illustrations of the straits to
which the mulishness OF the Democratic Con-
cress brought many of the United States
Marshals. A public which is so often lectured
upon the coarse selfshness Of politicians and the
corruut wickedness of Government employees,
will hardly be prepared to find these Malshals
undergoing the personal privahons to which
many of them have submitted in order that the
dulies of their offices might be properly per-
formed. The Marshal Of Wyoming wrote to
the Attorney General some months ago That,
having exhausted his private funds in paying
. Der cent II month interest on the money
borro we'd for the Government he now in
tended to mortgage bis property in Iowa, by
which he could get q lower late OF interest
The Marshal of Dakota borrowed $4,000 foI
the Government, and paid interest upon it
himself at the rate of IS per cent. The Maj
shall of Iowa himself ad, anced more than
$4,000 and then IN dise nst asked that the
Courts might be adjourned, and in ew-Hamp-
shire the Court was closed.
The United States Marshal in Maine has
lent the Government $500 for the expenses
of his Office, and Judge Cox, the United States
Circuit Judge, says in letter to Justice Cliff
ford that he does not think that under the
circumstances those VINO run the Courts at

should be ashamed" says Judge Cox, to
do it," This is the plain language of a
Justly angry Judge, and we commend it to
the leaders of the Democratic Congress- who
have put the United States Government in the
humiliating position of being indebted to its
own servants for some of the necessaries OF
life

Yesterday morning at five O'Clock the sun
entered the sign Capricornus, or the Goat,
and the astronomical winter began. The
days have reached their shortest span, nine
hours and three minutes, and the sun has
reached his extreme southern limit. The
winter solstice reigns, and the sun seems to
stand still in his southern course, while he
rests his blazing disc on the mysterious
celestial circle, called the tropic Of Capricorn.
1t is only an apparent rest, however, for the
moment he touched the southern boundary
line, he turned his steps northward. Every
dweller in the north temperate zone will
welcome the earliest symptoms of his ap-
proach, for it is the barbinger of the resur-
reclion of nature. On Christmas eve the
first fruits of his coming will be manifest; a
precious minute of additional sunlight will
crown the parting day. encroaching night
will be compelled to retrace its steps towards
its own dark domains. In Il week or two the
days increase will be plainly perceptible, and
though ice, snow and cold may rule the pass
ing hours, there will be consolation in the
thought that the sun is journeying to north
ern climes. the most gloomy and dreary
season of the year has passed.
