The South will certainly cast her
1873 electoral votes solidly for Ham
cock and English. There can be no
doubt of that. The ticket will then
need only forty seven votes from
the North to make up the requisite
majority of one hundred and eighty
FIVE. It is more than probable the
ticket will get more than the requis-
ite forty-seVen. Indiana, alone, will
furnish fifteen, which may be count
ed on almost as sure as the vote Of
Kentucky. New York gave Tilden
and Hendricks majority of 80, 600.
New Jersey a majority Of IL, 900 and
Connecticut a majority OF 2,000.
New York has thirty-five votes.
Connecticut six and New Jersey
nine. These States, alone, with the
South, would secure a Democratic
victory without Indiana.

reefs and cruel lodges of rock, com.
bine to render it the Sable Island OF
the Sound. Race Point, on the
western end of the island, and Race
Rock, a short distance southwest,
marked by a spindle, have been
most prolific of shipwrecks.
A list of the disasters that have
occurred here would form a long
chapter of accidents. The English
ship John and Lucy, lost here in
1871, and the bark Providence, lost
November 2Sth, 1879, were the ear
liest victims. The first vessel sent
out from New London on a whaling
voyage was lost here Jan. 13, 1876,
and in l775 ship sent in by Cap
tain Biddle as q prize met here the
same fate. But the most notable
wreck, and one no doubt vividly
remembered by many readers of the
Evening Post, was that of the steam
boat Atlantic, which went ashore on
the rocks a little east of Race Point
on the night of the 9th of Novem-
Der, 1916. The Atlantic was one of
q line of steamboats, plying between
Norwich and New York. On the
9th of November she was on her
passage to New York, and had Just
passed the mouth of New London
harbor, when she was disabled by
the breaking of a part of her ma
chinery. A heavy sea was running
at the time, and the swift currents |
carried her upon the rocks of Fish |
er's Island and pounded her to
pieces in q short time. FOrtv-tWo |
persons perished in this catastrophe.
The disaster occasioned as much
horror and excitement in the public
mind as the more recent burning of /
the Narragansett. New London
soon afterward raised a stately mon
of granite to the memory of
the lost (more particularly to the
Walton family, father, mother and
three children, all of whom perished
in the wreck, though their bodies
were recovered), and Mrs. Sigour-
ney, who was then living in Nor
wich, and some of whose friends
were among the lost, further COM
memorated the event by her beauti-
ful dirge, t'The Bell of the Wreck"
to all schOol-boys from
its popularity with the compilers of
school readers. The government
has since erected a lighthouse on
One of the hummocks or islets of the
Sound near the scene of the disaster.

of st. Peter, comprising the first five Tor
six Popes Immediately following the death
of that Apostle. For centuries after this
the Pope exercised authority over the
Eastern Church as over the Western. His
sway was freely acknowledged by both
churches.
The proud and mighty Emperors OF
Rome bowed before the ecclesiastical su-
premacy of the Bishop of Rome. The
Pope could not have welded this scepter
of power over the Church had he not then,
as now. been the acknowledged successor
of St. Peter. The general councils OF the
Church have always submitted to his
DEGREES. If, as the opponents OF this
belief say, the Bishops of Rome did not
possess this supreme authority in the early
ages of the Church, then there must at
some period have been change in the
Church. When did this change take place ?
On this point history is silent.
We have given but very faint outline
of this very interesting lecture, which was
listened to throughout its entire length by
the large and attentive audience.
On next Sunday evening Father Calmer
will resume this course, speaking on
kindred subject.

The Enalish Papers Of This Morning

The Commercial says: While the Ken.
tGcky Congressman are thus making shin
ing mark up at Washington, Kentucky
State Rights legislators here at home are
showing such ability in making laws that
they begin to draw to themselves the eyes
of the world. They met at Frankfort un-
der the inspiration of a great principle. 1t
was the principle of retrenchment and
economy. They resolved to bring about
as far as might be, that ideal state of soci-
ETY. wherein men should have no taxes to
pay. Then their constituents could all be
happy and own race-horses They began to
slice off promiscuously. First they reduced
the Governor salary to about what school
Superintendent gets in a large city. Then
they took whack at Judges salaries
These they cut down to below what Gin
cinnati School Principal gets. In point OF
fact, they left the Judges not much but
theirsht nor. Taking into consideration the
risk to be run from the habit of cunning
for Judges candidates for vacancies in this
departmentw will not overwhelm the Com
monwealth. 1t is better be a
live Major than a dead Judge.
Presently our Solons wrestled with the
pay OF the State School Superintendent.
Kentucky has probably grown more white
men and women to the square mile who
can't read and write than any other State in
the Union. Said Superintendent was
bloated bloodsucker who got $1,000
year. But his fellow-countrymen
cut him down to 81, 800. Here's premium
on education. Their action in regard to
the Pententiary shows a statesmanlike
foresight unequaled in the wisdom of the
ages. The cruel notoriety of the Peniten-
| tiary has travelled over this country and
across the sea. The foul old prison walls
rot down. The convicts lie down to give
up the ghost by the score. TIE Legisla-
ture let's them keep it up. Every criminal
who shuffles off this mortal coil is one less.

The first through passenger train tc
Chattanooga over the Cincinnati Southerr
Railroad moved out from the passenger de-
pot on Gest street and Mclean avenue at
o'clock this morning. The engine was the
new twenty eight ton engine No. %, in
charge of Engineer Ed. Birge. There was
baggage car and three passenger coaches at
tached to the engine. Conductor Frank
Foster manipulated the punch, and felt
proud in managing the first through pas
senger train to the South.
The engine was beautifully decorated
with flags and streamers of red, white and
blue. The picture of Washington adorned
the headlight box. The baggage car and
coaches were all new and the latter were
handsomely cushioned.
Mr.. Mack was the only Director to come
down and see the train off. Among the
100 odd passengers that went with the train
were dozen or more ladies. The tran
showed we'll for its being the first one. The
baggage especially was literally packed to
the roof with merchandise.

Shay, of Macon, Georgia, followed his ex-
ample by purchasing ticket to this city
for S24 40.
The train which left this morning is due
in Chattanooga at 1O;45 p. ma run OF
fourteen hours.
Among the passengers who went over the
road were Mr.. W. P. Rathburn, of Chatta-

SOUTHERN PRODUCTIONS.

The markets of New York have long
enjoyed, through means of communica-
tions by steamers with the South, abund-
ant supplies of carly vegetables from the
Atlantic Coast as far down even as
Florida. These facilities, we, of the in
tsrior cities, have not hitherto been per-
mitted, although the extension of rail-
roads into Southern States that has been
gradually going onhas opened up from
year to year here in Cincinnati consid-
erable trade in fruit and vegeta-
bles from sections reached. We
have already seen in our markets
green peas and Strawberries from Mo-
bile, and peaches, strawberries, pota-
toes and other early vegetables from
Tennessee long before we could hope to
mature them in our own gardens. In
fact the early potatoes grown in Ten
nessee for our own and more Northern
markets have already become an import
ant factor in the agricultural develop
ment of the State, and this industry
must, of course, largely increase in time
to come. But the opening of our
Southern Railroad, with its connection at
Chattanooga, places us within days ride
from the Gulf and the semi tropical eli.
mate Of the South Atlantic and Gull
region. We may, therefore, expect
quite a revolution in the periods of re.
ceiving these 1uxuries that are grown
almost spontaneously in the genial eli
mate of the States that our railroad pene
trates. Mail and passenger trains all be
gin their regular movements. over the
Southern Road on Monday, and thencetor
ward we shall find early fruits, vegetables
bananas and tropical and semi-tropical
products that have been only occasional
luxuries with us among other regular
supplies Of our markets. Apart, there
fore, from it's commercial value the Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad is destined tc
greatly increase the attractiveness of this
city as residence and almost convert il
