There has been a Republican State Conven-

has two Republican elements, between whom
the strife is perhaps as bitter as between the
Tammany and anti fafhfhahyites, of New
York City. At all events, there is not moro
harmony than there ohght to be; judging from
the following, which we extract from an As
sociate Press reportA !" There was aim st a row
in the convention to-day, growing out of dis
pute between Mr.. Rives, of Lynchburg, and
Mr.. Dezendorf, of Norfolk City. The parties
used violent language ami seemed about to
come together. The whole convention was in
disorder, and 1t took the anltsd efforts of the
city police, the officers of the House, and the
Mayor of staunton to prevent asgeneral fight
The parties, however, were afterward reconciled

placidly states that the murder was planned a

The Chinaman dug the grave underneath the
spot where was located the nest of a hen. He
removed the nest to dig the grave, and when
he had buried Severance he replaced it in

thut the Colonial officials had no valid reasons
for interfering with the internal affairs OF the

now used in San Francisco ormotive power
to see how it will stand the test Of a Chicago
winter. Cincinnati, too, is moving in the
same direction, and will have cable line i'll
operation as soon as the necessary permission
can be obtained from the Common Council.
Mr. Cascbolt, the inventor Of the cable sys-
TEN. is in Chicago to superintend the pro-
posed construction. He sees no difficulties
about the two points as to which question
has been raised ~ whether the cable would
work round curve, and {2) whether the
trench in which the cable is laid would not
fill up with snow and ice and prevent the
running of the cars. With the cable one man
and an engine can do the work of 800 horses.
In San Francisco 1t is estimated that the Ca
bIc roads yield 50 to Gd per cent greater profit
than the horse roads. There are six cable
roads in operation in San Francisco, and the
three horse roads will adopt the system In
the spring. The cables have been In use
there four or five years, and their utility and
economy have been demonstrated.

Mid the whispers that Hy,
Comes half-issued prayer.
And shrek. and n cry,
Till thrilled are the souls Of the listeners,
And euch breath is the breath Of Rfgh.

But her lips are as pale as the lilies,
And her forehead Is cold az the anoW.

And nothing is heard save the sobbtnY

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

CHICAGO, Dec 24.-It IL scandal and a dis
grace to the State of Illinois that this old relic of
feudalsm and barbarisn should be permitted to
exist within her borders. There Is no more rea-
son why landlord should have 6 Hen for rent
and right 10 seize the goods of his tenant
without legal warrant than that grocer should
have lien on the chinawaro for hts bill. or the
butcher a lien on tho kitchen furniture for his
account. Any trddesnan or merohAut has as
good claim upon the person hiring house
as has the man who happens to own the house.
And yet no man but landlord has the
right to issue his own warrant and
seize the euuds OF another for the
collection Of his debt. The thing Is not only
absurd, but it is a monstrous wrong. How
many poor, struggling people have been robbed
under this old heather custom OF their very
beds ana necessary household goods, and then
turned naked Into the streets: the euod Lord
only knows But 1t Is time now that It should be
stopped. aud no more robberies OF this k:nd be
permitted. So say abolish the rights, repeal
the law, blot out forever nil rights Of distress
for 1ent- We haye great volumes OF laws for
the rich and the powerful, for great institutions
and corporations, our Legislatures haven't done
much Of anything else. Now let us have little law
for the poor and the trugglng.-just one little
line for the man who Is down. Be good enough
to give this matter such attention as it deserves,
and help repeal this odious law.
