hasn't the sort Of ears or eyes to which
Benjamin so eloquently appealed.
Mr.. Hill also declared that whoever
votes against unseating Kellogg will
vote to "give up the whole question Of
fraud" Well, that is one of the best
questions to give up ever discovered by
the Democratic party. You decide"
he said, "that the eight members Of
the Electoral Commission were right,
and the seven were wrong.n That
would be a very proper decision, and a
wise one. "You make the Returning
Board respectable, and you bring your
selves into shame.n These awful con-
sequences did not seem to impress
Wade Hampton; and Thurman, and
Bayard, and several other Democratic
leaders in the Senate are said to be also
prepared to face the consequences, and
speak and vote against unseating Kel-
lugg. In fact, it is becoming apparent
that enough Democrats will vote with
the Republicans on this question to de-
feat Hills attempt to unseat Kellogg
by a pretty decisive vote. They will
thereby prove that their ears are of an
intelligent length, and that their eyes
do not see strange and portentous Wis
ions like Ben Hilrs.- --DetroH Post and

Excruclating Eloquent ElOquence.

Senator Ben Hill made one of his
Southern hifaluten speeches on the
Kellogg-Spoflord case--one of the sort
which delights the Southern bucolic
auditory, wherein the orator rips with
Euripedes, and scars and spreads the
Southern eagle till tho Joints of that
unfortunate fowl fairly crack. "Have
the people ears, and hear not the
groans of dying libertyP" he yelled.
Have they eyes, and see not despotsm
stalking with brazen front toward the
highest place in the HationP" This is
eloquent eloquence; this is oratorical
uratory; in short this was a speaking
speech. When we calmly reflect upon
these conundrums we are forced to
confess that a great many of the peo-
Pile have ears rs-oOnspicuously rs it were
of which the presence of Ben Hill
and his sort in the Senate and House
is an auric0lar testimony, so to speak.
Those are tho sort of ears, also, which
'hear the dying groans of liberty"
and mQny other distressing noises,
which people less gifted in the matter
of ears wholly fail to hear. The same
sort of people have eyes also--eyes that
bulge out fearfully--eyes like those of
q scared jackass rabbit-eyes that we
doubt not =" see despotism stalking
with brazen front toward the high
est place i'm the Nation, not
to speak of many other remarka-
BILE and uncomfortable visions and
wonders, which ordinary folk are wholly
unable to discern. But Mr. Hill has
been politely informed by Wade Hamp-
ton "a gentleman who has IA his time
seen many fearful sights, and has ex-
perienced personally the dangers which
sometimesaccompany long ears) that he

-Dooided Action In
Psnnsylvnnia.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The Tribune has
another liberal dose of correspondence
showing the decadence of the Grant
and Sherman sentiment throughout the
country, and the progress of the Blaine
movement. Among the chief points
are the following: That federal office
holders travelling through the southern
states find that the democrats are hope
full that Grant will be nominated, and
believe that he will be the easiest man
to beat. The republicans want a man
of less ring noteriety-Blaine or WASH
burne.
The friends of Secretary Shetnan in
Ohio are panicky, for Blaine's friends
are doing great work, and the senti-
ment is rapidly changing to Blaine
throughout the state.
Six Pennsylvania papers which have
been supporting Grant are now against
that candidate, and six districts have
instructed their delegates for Blaine in
spite of the unit rule adopted at the
convention.
A. II. Jones, chairman of the repub-
lican state convention of Illinois, is
personally for Blaine, although his old
friend. Senator Logan, is strong for
Grant,

London. Feb. 19.-Maddeck, the
publisher, and ]. and E. Judd, print
ers of the Dramatic Neics, appeared in
the Bow street police court to-day to
answer to the charge of libel, preferred
by the Right Hon. E. Dwyer Gray, lord
mayor of Dublin, in the publication of
an article, of which the following is an
extract:
"How that misch,evous, ill-condi-
TONED burlesque of legislator, Gray,
is descended, we don't know, nor, see
Ing his character so apparent, does it
much matter. The guests who had
been obliged to accept his invitation to
the mansion house are to be warmly
congratulated on their escape from
such humiliating business as this din
ner must have been."
The article also insinuated that a
fear also existed that the mansion
house relief fund would be misapplied.
The case was adjourned until Sat
urday.

Experience Narrow Escape From
Death Particulars or tho
Carefully Prepared
Dynamite Plot.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-0fficial in,
quiry into the cause Of the explosion al
the winter palace develops the fac,
that the mine was composed of dyna
mite and gun cotton, and had beer
traced to the fuel cellar in the inner
court. Since the inquiry commenced
the workmen who were engaged in the
room Immediately beneath the guard
room, the scene of the explosion, have
fed.
The cause Of the delay of the czar in
entering the dining hall was owing to
his reception of Prince Hess, who had
just arrived to take part in the twenty
fifth anniversary of the czar's accession
to tho throne.
Gen. Gourko, governor general of st.
Petersburg, was engaged at the winter
palace the whole night of the 18th in
vestigating the explosion. The dyna-
mite was fred by an electric battery.
Several pounds of that explosive must
have been used.
The cellars of the palace have long
been used for storing purposes, and ap-
pear to have been occupied by four
workmen, three of whom are under ar
rest; the fourth is missing. Many ar
rests have been made in the winter pal
ace and immediate neighborhood.
There were some forty inmates of the
winter palace arrested on Monday, be-
lieved to be connected with the explo-
sion.
London, Feb. 19.-The Times CON-
mentary on the explosion in the winter
palace, st. Petersburg, says: The CEN
tral authority of the czar must be up
held, if that order is to be maintained
which is an indispensable condition of
progress. Conspiracies like this must
be punished with sufficient severity to
crush them, but if in conjunction with
these necessary measures the czar pur-
sues a course of gradual reforms, he
may entertain reasonable hope that
these horrors will pass away.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-The Nouoe
Vremyd publishes the particulars of the
attempted assassination of the imperial
family, showing that dinner was ap-
pointed for 6 O'Clock on Tuesday even
ing. If it had not been accidentally
delayed all would have been seated at
the moment of the explosion. AS it is,
their escape was very narrow. The
emperor, accompanied by the Princess
of Hesse and Bulgaria, was about to
enter the dining hall through one door
and the other members Of the imperial
family, except the empress, by another,
when the explosion took place. Two
of the servants who were in the hall
were injured. The force of the explo.
sion was such that number of the win.
dows of the palace and adjacent houses
were shattered. The gas was blown
out and complete darkness prevailed.
The bodies of two more soldiers have
been found among the debris, and OF
the forty-tive who were injured, several
have since died.
Berlin, Feb. 19.-Among those who
decamped after the explosion in the
Winter palace, is the captain of the

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Some flfty men,
representing the most important busi-
ness interests of Chicago, met in pri-
vate way tonight and discussed the
question of how to throttle the third
term scheme. The meeting was of one
mind, and that mind was freely ex-
pressed, that the reelection of Gen.
Grant would be national misfortune,
and his nomination would damage the
republican chances of success beyond re-
pair.
1t was decided to circulate papers for
signature among all the business inter-
ests, and it was estimated that at least
$4,000 voters would be ready to sign as
a protest against the candidacy of
Grant.
A public meeting will shortly be held
to carry out the object of this meeting.
