THE PoLITIgAL sITJATIoN,

ELH $500
Mr.. Williams, of Missouri, one of the
lights of the Greenbaek party. as we learn
from . Washington dispatch, saystbe Green
hackers have increased their vote immensely
in New York, New Jersey and several other
States, and he predicts that it will soon again
become q factor in nstionaland State politics.
which neither the Republican nor Democratic
party can afford to ignore. To a reporter of
the Critic Mr.. Williams asserted most DOS,
itiyely that none of the nine .Greenback
members of the House of Representatives
will assist the Republicans in organizing the
House, aud was just as positive in asserting
that they would form no combination with
the Democrats. IF Dir. Williams is correct
in his assertion, the Republicans will have to
fall back ON the two Virginia readjusters as a
for!orn hope, and some doubt is expressed as
to whether these two votes will be suf6 Gent
to make up a majority. If a bargain is to be
made with the two Virginia readjusters, and
they and Gen. Malone are to have all the
Virginia federal patronage, tho two Repub>
licans from that State, whose votes are equally
necessary to make up a Republican majority,
may want to know where they are to come in
aud what is to be lone for them. Two of
the Maine greenbackers, Messrs. Murch and
Ladd, were members of the last House aud
frequently acted with the Democrats. But
their votes alone would be of no avail to that
party now, even if they were disposed to give
them. 1t is within the possibilities that the
greenbackers may hold the balance of power
in the House of Representatives, and in this
contingency, if Mr.. Williams is correct in
his assumption that they propose to maintain
to the last their own separate party identity
and put up candidates of their own, thew
may force such an organization of the House
as is not now dreamed of.

writ of quo warranto for the dissolution of

of these companies is the State Capital Mu-
tual Aid Association of Harrisburg, which
has issued policies representing over $751;
100000 since its incorporation last Novem,
Der. The attorney general claims that these
companies have repeatedly violated the pro-
visions of the law under which they were
created. Should the charters of these com
panies be forfeited, similar action will doubt-
less be taken with regard to the nearly two
hundred other companies of this character in
the State.

TORN BY DOGS.

Sidney Il. Holmes, formerly of Madi-
son County, represented this district in
Congress- for the term including the
years 1865 and 1866. Judge Holmes
after the expiration of his Congressional
term, became the business partner of
the Roscoe Conkling in Utica. A
few years ago he located West, though
in what state has escaped our recollec-
ton. Among his peculiarities was his
fondness for hunting, and for this pur-
pose he kept fine pack of hounds,
which, as occasion presented, he follow
ed in the chase Some weeks since his
dogs, for some cause, engaged in furi-
ous fight among themselves The
Judge, hearing the noise, went among
them to stop the fighting, when they turn
elupon him and lacerated him so terribly
tIiot it was expected he could never re-
cover from his wounds. While the
brutes were tearing him with their mad
and apparently blind fury, they seemed
suddenly to discern who it was they
were rending, and they commenced to
lick his wounds, running around and
jumping at and over him, whining
piteously, and manifesting all the
affection for him that it was possible for
dumb animals to do. The judge, after
his rescue in the terrible condition in
which he was left, refused to have any
punishment whatever administered to
the dogs, maintaining that they were in
no sense blamable.- OSr+qo, NJ T.,

A KILLING COUNTRY.

A story is told of an Englishman who
landed at Dublin few months ago filled
with the apprehension that the life of
any loyal subject of her majesty not
worth farthing there and thereabouts.
The land leaguers, he imagined, were
all bloodthirsty assassins, and all that
sort of thing. But it was his duty to
travel in the land-a duty he approached
with fear and trembling. Now there
happened to be on his route a number
of towns the names of which begin with
the suggestive syllable "Kl." There
were Kilmartin, and so on. In his ig-
norance of geographical nomenclature
his affriehted senses were startled anew
on hearing fellow-passenger in the
railway carriage remark to another as
follows "Pm Just afther bein' over to
Fitzpatrick" "And l." replied the
other, 'am afther bein over to Kilmary."
"What murderers they are !" thought
the Englishman. "And to think that
they talk of their assassinations so pub.
licly p But the conversation went on.
"And fhare are you goin' now p asked
assassin No. l. "Pm goin home, and
then to Kilmore," was No. 2's reply.
The Englishman's blood curdled. "kil.

ALARM BUOYS.

An important fitting has been recent
ly supplied to English war-ships, in the
shape of an alarm-buoy, which vii! en-
able the ships of squadron to keep
line and distance in fog, and thus pre-
vent the chance of collision. The buoys,
are built in three watertight cOmpart-
ments, and consist of a horizontal iroo
tube with conical ends. The after-end
is fitted with a screw propeller, which
revolves as the buoy is drawn by the
ship through the water, after the manner
of patent leg. At the top is a gong,
the clapper of which is connected 10y
suitable gearing with the propeller, and
which is made to strike the gong at
every revolution. Dragged at the stern
of the leading ship, the following vessel
will be able to follow its leader on The
darkest night, while the number OF beats
of the gong in minute will enable the
squadron to maintain a uniform speed.
The necessary stability is given to the
buoy by deep iron keel, while wooden
balks bolted to the side reduce the tend
ency to roll and keep the buoy at its
proper water-level.
