The third-term army have met
many apparent reverses during the
last week, but in most cases have re-
tanned Struggling adherence that
may ultimately enable them to recover
position. The great battle now is in
Illinois. 1t is likely to be the cul-
minating point in the decision of the
final result at the Chicago convention.
Grant is in personal command, but is
pressed with great spiri; by the Multi
gan Guards, who seem to be organized
in great force, we'll disciplined, and
encouraged by many successes in vari-
Gus sections of the State. But still
the Duke of America is commander
of rare ability. He may meet re-
pulses, but, like General Taylor, is
never conscious of defeat, and until
the final action comes off in the Illi-
nois convention the Mulligans cannot
count victory. This, however, will
be final decision of the result of the
canvass for the Republican nomination
for President. If Grant loses his own
State his case is hopeless, and he will
probably retire from the field, wiser
man than be entered it, in realizing
that the unwritten law of the Republic,
acknowledged by Washington, JefIer-
son, and other small men who preced.
ed him in the Presidential Office, is not
mere myth.

THE Anti-third term National Con.
vention which came eff at st. Louis
last week, is said to have been conspic-
uous only for the absence of leading in
fluential men of the Republican party,
and may be considered a failure. This
was not the kind of convention that
politicians are eager to patronize
They might slip up. Grant might
pull through, and the weight of a pro

The Curtin-Yocum Contest.

The Congressional contest from this
district was called up in the House of
Representatives on last Saturday. Mr..
Beltshoover, of the Cumberland dis
trict of this State and a member of
the Committee on Elections was given
the floor, aud he made an able and
exhaustive argument in favor of the
right of Gov. Curtin to the seat now
occupied by Mr.. Yocum. The debate
was continued through Monday, and on
Tuesday vote was reached. TO the
surprise of every one this vote awarded
the seat to Mr.. Yocum. A synopsis
of the proceedings on Tuesday reads
as follows:
Mr.. Springer then called up the Curtin
locum election case. A good deal of OPP
position was manifested on both sides of
the house to any extended debate, and mo-
tion was made by Mr.. Weaver that all de-
bate close in one minute. Mr.. Coleriek
who held the floor, declined 10 yield for
that motion, but at the close Of his speech
in favor of the contestant, ; similar motion
was made BIZ Mr.. Overton and it was
agreed TO.
Tho prayious o,,az,;,p ,.as ,ho, orJo-ai
and Mr.. Springer claimed the closing hour,
yielding his time, however, to Mr. Ryon
(Pa.,) and Mr.. Speer, who spoke in sup
port of the majority report.
Then the House proceeded 10 vote upon
the resolutions-the lrst one being taken
on an amendment offered By Mr. Springer

Mr.. Yocum is not entitled TO the seat

The colored Republicans of the
South, who compose mainly the Re
publican vote of that section, are very
earnest in claiming the right to pre-
sent the candidate for Vice President
OH the Republican ticket. This recog.
milton of the colored people of the
United States who form so prominent
part of the voting strength of the
party, is certainly reasonable and due
to them. When they offer so able a
man, one so unexceptionable, both in
character and position, as Senator
Bruce, of Mississippi, the claim has
force and may not BIZ dismissed with
sneer. The Republican party do
not hesitate to proclaim their right 10
the colored vote, but recognition OF
Republican equality when offices are
to be disposed of, is rarely made in
favor of the colored voter. Here is
an opportunity, however, that chal.
lenges Republican sincerity, and from
which the colored voters may learn a
useful lesson as TO what extent they
are regarded-whether as the mere
creatures or slaves of party will, OF
party equality.

party, and he can we'll afford that the
House of Representatives should stul-
tify itself by refusing to place his
name upon its roll of members. 1t is
not our intention to review the action
of the House or to revert to the
causes which made this contest ne
cessity. Those inside the Democratic
party who so far forgot themselves as
to levy war upon Andrew G.. Curtin in
1878 can now draw all the satisfaction
that Tuesdays result will afford them.
1t may not be improper TO say now,
that no man in this district can ride into
power over the dead political body Of
Governor Curtin. There is a Nemesis
inside the Democratic party in this dis
trict which will pursue with unrelent-
ing hate the parties who have connived
at the overthrow of one of the noblest
men who ever lent his name to a politi-
cal cause. Now we will see the jackals
flock around the wounded lion and
glory in his fall. But have care.

The retired list Of the United States
army is quite respectable in its proper
tions, and the amount paid is very
considerable. From statement Just
prepared at the office Of the adiutant-
general, it is shown that there are five
major-generals, eighteen brigadier-gen-
erals, fifty nine colonels, thirty four
lieutenant-colonels, forty-nine majors,
one hundred and forty-three captains,
seyenty-seven first lieutenants, fifteen
second lieutenants and eight chaplains
on the retired list. Up TO December
3lst last the aggregate amount paid TO
these officers from the date of being
placed on the retired list was $500.
37S. The largest annual pay to a
retired maior.general is s5,62j; to a
brigadiergeneral s4,l25; TO a colonel
S3,375; to a lieutenant-colonel SO ,060;
to major 1925; to a captain s2,100;
to a first lieutenant 81 1,575.50; 10 a
second lieutenant 81 ,470.50; TO a chap.
lain 81 $50. The large majority in all
the grades receive the largest pay. 1t
should be stated that the number OF

been reduced TO four by the death

A PHILOSOPHER,
Or a StOny-Hearled Brule---
Which?

A country darby walked into the
stationhouse this morning, and seeing
a vacant chair neal the stove, took
possession of it. Nobody noticed him
for a few moments, more than to note
that he had a bundle of some sort in
his arms, that be handled very gently.
Conversation soon took . humorous
turn, and drifted into u%proarious
laughter, which was suddenly chilled

took cold in some way, and got worse
toward morning, when he laid it down
on a bale of cotton, and returning,
found the baby dead. 1t was a girl,
about eighteen months old. It's form
was stiff and its head was cold; the
light of life from its face had fed; it
was cold and painless, stark and dead.
The little lifeless form was taken
from the mans arms and placed on a

Much Richness Promised When

Judge 7. w. Brown and DR.. D. T.
Porter locked horns this morning in
the police court. The develop
ments indicate lively times
ahead. The Judge was hard
at work at noon to-day fixing papers
to enter suit in the circuit court
against Porter for twenty-five thou
sand dollars damages, charging inso-
lence in Office and various other
arbitrary matters. The Judge was a
prisoner in DR.. Porter's court to-day,
and a big crowd attended to hear the
case. The judge had been arrested
yesterday morning on a warrant
charging him with violating the health
ordinances of the district, by falling to
clean out, disinfect and fill up a privy
vault on a piece of property belonging
to him, and situated on Alabama
street. When taken to the station
house he declined to put up a forfeit
for his appearance, but was released
upon the chief of police standing
responsible. Before the court
this morning he argued that he had
never been served with a notice. Off.
Ger DAILY certified that he had given
Mrs. Brown two notices, and that one
of them having been complied with,
it seemed strange that both or neither
had been seen. Judge Heiskel, coun-
sci for the district was sentforand said
he would not like to make a fight on
account of the notices not beingserved
upon Judge Brown in person, and his
case was accordingly discharged,
President Porter instructing the sani-
tary officer to serve him with a new
notice before he left the court, which
was done. 1t is understood that the
order will be complied with immedi-
ately.
The Judge declares his willingness
to obey the order of DR.. Porter on
behalf of the Taxing d~istIict authori-
ties, although he understands that
the board of health's orders
conflict with this mandate, in
asmuch as the vault alluded to is
beyond the line where the sewer
pipes are to be run this season, and
further, that the health authorities
have no desire for the vault to be dis
turbed at present.

OF years a splendid trade which
comes as regular as the seasons Sue
cess has rewarded their efforts, and
they occupy a commanding position,
Having experience, foresight and cap
ital, they took advantage Of the times
and bought for cash, before the late
rise in prices, alarge and elegant stock
Of goods, which has been received and

They have all the late styles of solid
