BLOOD OK THE MooS.-There is an i'm
placable warfare among the brethren who
conduct the campaign and handle the
funds for the Democracy. A certain cor
pulent member OF the State Committee
and the proprietor Of the Market street
organ almost came to blows a lew days
ago in the sanctum OF the lattei; only the
age OF the newspaper man prevented his
fleshy friend from whipping him, so the
latter asserted. How the dispute arose
deponent sayeth not, but in the course Of
1t little attention was paid to the ameni-
ties that usually govern the intercourse
OF gentlemen in their exalted positions
In fact, II the narration as We have 1t be
anything like correct, a parallel can only
be found at Billingsgate. Baker reflected
on the Falstaffian proportions oil his friend
in anything but dignitied language. In
this the clean and hungry Cassius" was
doubtless actuated solely by envy. But
he also applied to him an epithet which
reflected at once upon himself and his
maternal progenitor, adding by way OF en-
phasis certain adjectives not quOtable to
ears polite, aud only allowable when used
by minister In warning his hearers oil
the wrath to come. He also referred to
him iu language more expressive than
courteous as certain kind OF liar. Mr..
Reilly, in equally forcible, II more polite,
terms, impeached his slim friend honesty,
and accused him OF list vi assorted otlen-
SEES against laws human and divine. For q
time the air was blue, and occasional
snatches OF the conversation were waited to
outside ears. Altogether, the campaign
which opens on the. Democratic side to-day
bids fair to be an exceedingly lively and in
teresting one.

CAPTAIN WILSON AND THE PESITEN-
TrARY.-The Pittsburgh Dupateh hiss cor
respondent in this city who, TO say the
least OF him, Is VIGOROUSLY untruthtul
and annoying. His latest effort is the sen.
sational report concerning the Peniten-
tiary and the resignation Of Capt. Andy
Wilson. The story referred to Is that Capt.
Wilson was Tequestedto resign, and aveng-
ed himself by alleging gross Irregularities
on the part Of Gallaher, President Of the
Board.
We came across Capt. Wilson on Four.
teenth street last night and asked him
about the truth Of the report.
"Well, sir" said he, "there Is not one
word Of truth in It. Ny resignation was
received with great reluctance by Gov
ernor Mathews. My relations with the
members OF the board have been pleasant
in the extreme, and my resignation was
induced by other causes.

A DANGEROUS PLAYrnISG Boy Shot by
Il Toy Cannon Saturday afternoon Il mum
Der III small boys were amusing themselves
by firing of small toy cannon. They
had an old straw hat for a target, and
loaded the cannon with buCkshOt for the
purpose Of tearing the hat 10 pieces. The
cannon WIS loaded, and a boy named
George Manners was STOPPING in front Of
it to place The hat in position, when a
spark from a fire in proximity to the spot
alighted upon the powder at the touch
hole, and It was ignited and the cannon
discharged, the shot taking effect in the
head and breast OF young Manners. Six
teen buckshot lodged in his face and
breast He was carried into the house,
and DR.. Baird summoned. The doctor
expressed grave fears OF the effects OF the
wound, but could not at the time form
definite opinion rs to whether 1t would be
dangerous.

Peoria, III, Evening Call.
For mortal spectators, there can be
few grander spectacles than such q
national tournament as the late Rspub-
lican Convention. The political athletes
found full play there for their powers, and
every resource possible within the party
so long identified with freedom, was
drawn upon to the last penny. Intellect
and sentiment, cheek and bravado, fnesse
and cunning, the gray matter and the
gross matter of the brain were in full em.
ploy. And, whatever may be urged In
regard to the unseemly excuses Of dem.
onstration, the whooping and yelling and
mere brute noise, the fact remains that 1t
is grandly re.assuripg to see such a vast
body OF men, gathered from such a wide
territory, all wrought to a fever heat OF ex-
element, divided into great factions, en-
gagged in fierce struggle for supremacy,
and yet for days and nights together pre-
serving the manners Of gentlemen
towards each other, and avoiding drunk
enness and personal collision.
or eloquence there was plenty, OF keen
thrusts and keener retorts, q brilliant dis
play; but to our mind, the most salient
point in the entire history Of the conven-
ton, was the indignant mo" Of the three
West Virginia delegates on the resolution
Of Senator Conkling, pledeing the dele.
gates to support the nominee, who ever 1t
might be. We venture TO say that the
delegate who moot readily said eyes" to
this proposition TO shut his eyes and open
his mouth, was the least OF Republican
in that body.
This Is the American nominating sys-
TEN at It's worst, and gone to seed. It is
the stronghold OF the bosses. The ringing,
manly words OF Mr.. Campbell in asserting
his Republicanism, and his personal m
dependence at the same time, were golden
grains among the chat1y platitudes oil more
plant politicians. "My country, right
or wrong" is.a sentiment that will not bear
examination or analysis. 1t is patriotism
with conscience left out, This is bad
enough. But that later sentiment, now
} made party shibboleth, 1.-THE nominee,
whoever he may be, and however nomi-
mated" is infinitely worse. A little mega
tive now and then Is relished by the
better men OF any healthy political or.
ganization. As the Englishman in the
story said to his too acquiescent visitor,
who said "Yes," to everything, For Gods
sake, my good man, say No, Just once, so
there will be two OF us"
The West virginians proved themselves
better Republicans than those who would
have bottled their votes in advance.
When Convention has once run into a
hogshead and allowed some Boss to lead
it up AMI drive home the bung, it will be
comparatively easy for him TO ship itwhith.
or he will, or he may even roll 1t into the
river, knock out the bung, and drown
the entire helpless lot. Those three neg
alive votes from West Virginia had ring
OF moral earnestness, and fidelity to
freedom, which no doubt touched a chord
in the Convention, though custom, pre-
cedent and policy, led the rest into the
hogshead

DRAWING TO A CLosE-The Public Schools
annual Commencement-Th Commence
ment or graduate system adopted couple
OF years ago by the Board Of Education
for the Grammar schools Of the city has
heretofore been a decided success. This
year, from present indications, bids fair to
be no exception. The annual Commence
ments will be held next Friday night, that
being the last day OF the present school
year. The final examinations in most OF
the schools closed last week, and this
week will be devoted to regular school
work and preparations for the entertain
ment OF Friday night. The gradu-
ating class OF 1880 is composed Of three
boys and twenty-three girls. The boys
are Robert HaEIett, Of Ritchlei David
Rahr, OF Webster, and Eugene Hanke,
OF Union District. The girls are
Laura A. Frew, Kate McCune, Mollie
Kuhn, Belle NJ. Fox and Ella Nioholl, Of
Washington District; Ella Q. Heryey,
Virginia Simpson, Virginia Norton, Mary
Hornish, Maude Carter and Fannie Brady,
OF Clay; Laura Mcconnell, Fannie Plant
and Anna Crowthers, OF Union; Carrie
Reed and Birdie Hare, Of Centre Minnie
Lancaster, Eta Roberts, Fannie Lytton
and Jennie Workman, OF Webster: and
Lille Jones, Belle Devine and Katie
atoen, OF Richie.
There are few occasions in the course Of
year that ara regarded with an equal gen.
eral interest with these commandments.
The varied standing OF the pupils families,
the fact that they come from all sections OF
the city, and the general public's pro-
prietorship OF the institutions, combine to
make them Of absorbing interest to a large
majority OF our citizens. No doubt the
audience will be as large this year as
heretofore, and the exercises as eest-
ing, and the class acqnit themselves as
creditably to themselves and as honorably
to their teachers and their schools.

birds, lovebirds, &c, are screaming and
Jarting to and fro.
But by-and-by the intense heat will
silence all these, and nothing will be
heard but the chirp of the grasshopper
and the sound of some unseen insect. At
twilight again there is revival of life,
but not of so cheerful a description. The
cicadas shrek by myriads their deafen-
ing "p-r-r-r-r-r;" drowsy opossums snarl
in the gum-boles, and focks of cockatoos
scream as some great gray kangaroo
bounds past them like q belated ghost.
If there is marshy ground near, the deep
boom of the bittern, the wall of the cur
lew, and the harsh cry of the crane,
mingling possibly with those of a return
ing or passing flock of black swans, will
add to the concert. In moment of 81
lence one may be startled by the mock
ing laughter of the jackass, or the melan-
cholv "mO-poke" (or "more-pork' OF
the bird of that name. The dead Of night
is not so still as the universal hush of the
burning noon.
