The Cook County Bolt.

The extraordinary action of the boiling
delegates to the Chicago primaries wins lit
tie commendation from any quarter The
supporters of General Grant are evidently
ashamed of it, and the apologies they offer
are too weak to merit serious consideration.
Indeed they do not talk as tlough they ex-
pect to be believed. The only argument
they put forth is the argumclt used by dis
appointed minorties the country over, and
the very argument which the supporters of
General Grant have heretofore been the
swiftest and the most emphatic TO condemn.
ing that they could control scarcely q third
of the Cook County delegates, withdrew
from the meeting and held a convention of
their own. They refused to submit to the
will of the majority, and insisted that the
minority should have representation in the
State Convention. This demand, coming
from men who have refused TO concede a
single delegate in great States like Pennsyl-
vania and New York where their majority
was of the narrowest, and who have shown
no ulspoSltlon W recoSnIze tue minority III
the Illinois districts whose conventions they
controlled, will command neither the re-
spect nor the sympathy of the party. 1t is
inconsistent and insincere. The simple
truth is that the Grant men found them
selves outvoted in the Convention, two to
one, ,and so bolted-did the very thing they
call treason in others. This they can,
least of all Republicans, afford to do. They
are nothing if not regular. 1t is to be hoped
they will see their mistake by the time the
State Convention meets, and gracefully sub
nit to rule they have insisted upon impos-
ing upon other minorities.

: A French Actress.

Theibeauty of Mademoiselle Georges could
have been nothing short of marvellous, if the
reports of the contemporaries of her palmy
days may be credited. Theophile Gautier, no
mean connoiSSeur of beauty, thus describes her
in her prime: "Mademoise,e Georges aston
ishingly resembles Syracuse medallion or an
Isis on a bas-relief from Egina. The indescrib-
ably fine and pure arches Of her eyebrows ex-
tend over pair of black eyes, full of flame
and tragic lightnings. The narrow, straight
nose, pierced by oblique passionate nostrils,
united with the brow in line of magnificent
simplicity. The mouth is mighty arched in
both corners and proudly disdainful, like that
of the Goddess of Vengeance, who awaits the
hour which is to let loose her lions with the
brazen claws. And yet from this mouth there
blossoms charming smile, full of imperial
grace. and when it expresses tender emotions,
one would not believe that not long ago the
antique curse or the modern anathema had is
sued from it.
Her chin, full of strength and determination,
Is round and full, and terminates in o majestic
outline this profile, which belongs to a goddess
rather than a woman. Like all the beautiful
women of heathen antiquity, Mademoiselle
Georges has full broad forehead, rounding at
the temples, but it is not very high, quite sim
a
voluptuous mighty brow. A remarkable par
ticularity of Mademoiselle Georges neck is
that instead of rounding.inwardly towards the
neck, it forms convex outline throughout,
which runs from the shoulders to the head
without any deviation. That is the unmis-
taxable sign of an athletic temperament, such
as has reached its eliminating point in the
Farnese Hercules. The beginning of her arms
has something terrible by its mountainous
muscle and mighty circumference. An arm
let of Mademoiselle Georges might serve as
belt of a woman of medium size. But these
arms are very white and end in wrist of
child-like delicacy, in little hands covered
with dimples, veritable royal hands, created to
bear the scepter and to brandish the dagger of
4Eschylus and Euripides.'
Such was the woman that illustrated Harel's
managerial reign at the Porte st Martin, and
who inundated her fortune in vain to save
him from financial ruin; woman, who by
reason of her beauty, talent, kindness of char
acter, and checkered career, was perhaps the
most remarkable actress that ever trod the
boards -Bos. CON- Bulletin.

The Portland daily press., 1880-05-14

THE Boston Advertiser has this to say
concerning the Morgan resolution: If this
resolution, or anything like it should be
adopted, it would betoken firm resolution
on the part of the Democrats to count in
their candidates next February, no matter
who may be elected. Il will not do. 1t is
organizing revolution. The party that un-
dertales it will be defeated as surely as the
conspirators who undertook similar opera
ton in Maine were defeated. Never before
this has there been suggestion that even
any measure be adopted which could be sus-
pected of being designed to favor one party
rather than another in the electoral count.
When the famous joint rule, allowing the
exclusion of votes was adopted, its sole pur-
pose and the only use to which it was ever
put was the prevention of irregular votes
being given by States which had voluntarily
abdicated their rights in the Union. This
plan of Senator Morgan's makes Congress
the electing body. 1t ignores the right of
State authorities to certify the result by
usurping power of revision. 1t substitutes
for the fair investigation and judicial deter
mination of rival claims secured by Senator
Edmunds' bill the hap-hazard, partisan
determination of Congressional majority.
1t is bold and audacious scheme against
the rights of the people and the assured con-
stitutional rights of the States. The Senate
and House dare not adopt it before the cleo
ton, and if they attempt to use it for the
purpose of counting in as President one
who has not been elected, they will be over
whelmed by the Indignation of the country.

WHEN Colonel Bob Ingersoll was asked
by Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent, the
other day, it Senator Blaine could be elected
if.nominated, the Colonel replied: ~ think
so. He can carry Indiana and all the New
England States have spoken of as doubtful,
and even if the Democrats carried New
York, with solid South, if he did this he
would be elected You see Blaine, as can
didate, would arouse such enthusiasm in
the party that he would bring out the full
vote, and then there is large hoating vote
which he would get on account of his per-
soanl popularity. There will be no ques-
tion of his election if nominated. His fight
will all be for the nomination. Still,
think he will be nominated. The conven-
tion win see that he the strongest candi-
date"

(Chord of slow music.) Our trembling types
almost refuse to do their office, but we must
tell the tale to the end. The brazen man of
basins, or the man of brazen basins, who is q
householder, and, what is more, as proud
piece of flesh as any in Australia, and rich
fellow enough, go to, and one that hath two
jackets and an ulster, and everything hand
some about his cab, replied he had obtained
permission from III. r. III. the Duke Of Edin-
burgh to display his mounted sign," and that
before he would take down the royal arms ON
any such summons he would see Lord Angus
tus LOTUS and his family staff and household
in place which is hotter even than Australia
at Christmas time. Thus the matter stood at
our last mail advices, and it is to be feared so
it will continue to stand until Lord Augustus
is sent to another sphere of labor, or the Duke
of Edinburgh goes out to bid the barber lower
his colors. ''Sing hey the merry viceroy and
the barber!" This will be nice mess for

THE New York Heralds Washington cor
respondent writes: 'The friends of the ex-
President do not attempt to conceal their
concern over the news of the bolt from the
regular convention in the most important
county in his own State. They are unable
to see why the convention was not proceed
ing in regular manner, and so they cannot
defend their friends for refusing to abide by
the decision of majority. They seem to
fear that this refusal will weaken the posi-
tion which all of the supporters of the ex-
President in Pennsylvania and New York
are taking in regard to abiding by the will of
the majority"

break is from the ex-President to Blaine,
and there is now no prospect for the ex-Pres-
ident obtaining the nomination. From all
