OldClaims In New Shspes,

A most remarkable paper has been filed
in the state department here and scrvsd
upon the ministers of Peru and Chill. 1t is
nothing less than a claim for about $1,000
100000, being, it seems, somewhat in the
nature of a lien for that amount upon the
enormously valued deposits OF fertilizers.

is the Peruvian company, corporation ex.

of Cochet and Landreau, the discoveries
OF the deposits in question. They were
respectively awarded by act of the Peruvian
congress certain proportions of the result OF
their discoveries, which consideration
was never paid, and is the subject
of the claims now advanced in this new
form. Cochet and Landrcau were French
citizens, but Landreau was in partnership
with, his brother, a naturalized citizen OF
the United States, and his claim has been
repeatedly before congress.

one month. IL is agreed, however, between
Jones and Smith that tho wheat Is not 10 be

srEENHTH OF PARrlEs.

As the republicans and democrats in this
state are getting into line Of battle, it may
be interesting to inquire into the probable
strength OF each party, Recent elections do
not afford entirely sure tests for this purpose,
but throw some light on the subject. In the
presidential election orlS76 epch party in
New York was united and did its best. On
an unprecedented large vote, Mr.. Tildcn
obtained plurality of 32,7R over Hayes.
The democrats carried the state in 1871, and
the republicans in 1873. But in each OF
these Years distracting elements mingled in
the contests and rendered the results of
small value for ascertaining the real strength
of the two parties. 1t was little better
in 1879. Though there was II seri-
Gus bolt against both Robinson
and Cornell, the respective democratic and
republican candidates for governor, the test
on the lieutenant governor was reasonably
Trustworthy. Both Potter, democrat, and
Hoskins, republican, were satisfactory to
their parties, and Hoskins beat Potter 30
votes. AT the last presidential election
Garfield and Arthur carried the state by a
plurality of 81 ,0S2. II is well known that
this result was mainly due to the extraor-
binary efforts put forth near the close Oithe
campaign by General Arthur and his spe-
cal friends, but for whose excrtions the
state wouldhave gone for General Hancock.
These facts and figures place New York in
che column of doubtful states; both parties
will be wise if they regard the pending
struggle in that light-[Boston Advcr-

MURDERoUs MEETINGS.

Whatever may have been Mahone's mo-
tive in avoiding duel with General Jubal
A. Early his action is commendable. The
duel is bloody and murderous way of set
Ting disputes, and should be avoided.
General Early had called Malone in pub
lie speech "liar" and coward" and
under the code of honor-falsely so called
in Virgina-this can OILY be answered by
a challenge. This challenge Malone wise
ly and prudently declined to send, and
every true Christian will justify his course
The only thing to regret about it is that
General Malone has hitherto used the men
mace OF the duel as against Governor KEN
per and against another prominent south
ern officer now a resident in this city. On
both occasions the readiness of the gentle
men referred to to take their places on the
ground operated to prevent the meeting.
General Muhone's conversion to the
Christian view of the duel which he ex-
hibits in his affair with General Early is,
Therefore, OF rcctnt date. Still, late rcpen-
lance may be sincere. General Early Is
known to be n man Of impacablc temper
and a strict adherent to the bloody and
cruel code of hoHor' falsely so called
1t is therefore, a Christian duty on the part
of General Malone to avoid u mufdcrouS
meeting with General Early, and his con-
duct in doin6 so will be justified by all right

MIR. DAVID DAVIS.

Mr.. Davis is not Il republican in any par
tisan sense. He is not a great statesman,
and undoubtedly republicans would have
much preferred to see a man of different
stamp occupy the place to which he has
been chosen. Nor is the position of Mr.
Davis himself one which to man of deli
cate honor would seem in all respects agree
able. He is credited with the opinion that
the republicans were logically and fairly
entitled to the presidency of the senate
He plainly, so far, held that view that he
did nothing to prevent the BUSTING of Mr..
Bayard after that gentleman had been elect
ed. But, on the other hand, he manifested
no willingness to vote for a republican for
the position which he himself promptly ac-
copied. There was nothing underhand in
the transaction, but, taken as whole, we
can not imagine that Mr.. Fressendenor
Judge Collamer or Charles Sumner would
have engaged in it; but then it must be adj
mitted that it would not be easy to name u
senator of to-day who quite maintains the
lofty standard of these gentlemen. Their
pure and noble conception of the dignity of
a senator is rather traditional in the body
which they once adorned.-[ York

did, for have lost 5000 nearly my all" He
pointed out an old gray-haired man, in his
seventies, who had few days before lost
$500, and had Just mortgaged his farm for
$1,000 more and returned in the hope of re-
gaining what he had lost. And there he
stood, watching the figures on the black
boarl, hoping 10 retrieve his losses. Deal
ing in grain margins either gains or loses
all-there Is no equitable exchange, as in all
legitimate business. He then quoted from
the recent charge of Judge Jameson to the
Chicago grand jury in regard TO the bust
ness, from which it was evident that deal
ing III grain margins is gambling. He call
ed upon all Christian men to desst from
and discountenance dealing in margins for
the following reasons; Ii is gambling, and
they admit that gambling is illegal and dis
reputable, and he who INDUCES in il will
be taken as gambler. Ii is one of the
worst forms Of gambling, because it has the
air of respectability. 1t is patronized by the
first men in society, amongwhom are many
protested Christians Many are thus in-
duced TO form taste for all kinds of gam
bling. IL claims to be what il is not-as le-
climate as trade. 1t does not deserve the
respect that kenoo or faro does, because these
forms of gambling do not deny their pater-
nifty. 1t will bankrupt the purse. Money
may be won for while, but each victory
simply whets the appetite, and continu-
ance will bring final defeat, If you have
lost stop at once. Don't be allured by the
dcluson that you can regGin. There are
thousands struggling under this hope. Both
