Envy.

There is no base passion that has
ever cursed the human soul which IS
so absolutely hateful, and inexcusable,
as envy. We remember seeing in
some school book, or fable book, many,
many years ago, the picture Of viper
wound around file, and the serpent
was gnawing the hard steel, and be-
low the picture were these significant
words:
LET envy alone, and it will punish ITSELF"
This is the true theory. The best
way to treat the envious man is to let
him alone severely.
Envy makes itself manifest in many
ways, but it is the same devilish, little,
hateful, mean passion, whenever, and
wherever it crops out. Is man sue
cessful in business, through industry,
energy and honesty? The little soul
Of the man who is engaged in the
same business, and who has no sue
cess, because he does not deserve sue
cess, at once seeks, often by lying,
and other rascality, to pull down the
worthy and deserving man. Like Ha-
man, when he saw Mordacai the Jew
sitting at the Kings gate, he is wroth,
and his countenance falls, and he can
not be happy.
This base passion, envy, is more Of
ten seen in politics than anywhere
else. The country has seen a full
manifestation of this within the past
month. All the big dogs in politics,
and the little, NANCY, yelping fistes,
have been swapping at Senator Conk-
ling. They first set up the howl that
the great Senator is going to make
war upon President Garfield, and his
administration, and then they declare
that the President must, and surely
will, crush him out. True, they ad-
NIT that Senator Conkling has said
nothing, and done nothing, looking
to this warfare, and they admit that
the Senator frequently calls upon the
President, and that they are warm
friends; but contest they must and
will have, whether the President and
Senator want it or not.
The truth of this whole matter is
this, that Senator Conkling always
has been, and still is, a Republican,
and he has more talent, ability and
influence than any other one man in
the United States, and little, envious
souls cannot stand this. We are not
SO much surprised that politicians and
place seekers should permit their envy
to crop out; but why newspaper men,
great and small, should show their pet
ty envy towards the great Senator, is
more than we can understand.

'THf Commercial intimates that the professions Of

We read about two angels who once

acter than Cincinnati possesses, and a
mob would have hauled them out Of

not fear any angel visitants in your

to expect even one Lot in such place,
and even Lot was not truly good

We will be frank with you, Bro.
Leeds. We never had much conf
dence in this matter Of conversion,
either in the political or religious
world. Nine times out of ten the
convert is two fold more the child of
hell than he was before; yet we pre-
fer converted rebel to an unrepent-
ant one. Why is it that you Demo-
cratic editors rage, and refuse to be
comforted, when a rebel repents, and
processes political conversion? While
the rebels remain rebels, and rascals,
and bull-dozers, and ballot-box stuff
ers, and murdere1s of colored men,
and white Republicans, you have not
one word to say against them; but
when Longstreet, and Mosby, and
Malone leave your vile, rebel, mur-
derous, traitorous party, you howl, and
refuse to be comforted. Who voted
for Hancock last fall? The solid trai-
torous Democracy, North and South.
Nothing rotten about" the unhung,
unrepentant rebels, in the eyes of the
Democracy, North or South, so long
as they remain rebels.
You seem to think that you have
some kind Of mortgage upon the reb-
els, because you sympathized with
them during their rebellion, and have
acted with them politically ever since;
hence your tears when one of them
repents, or processes repentance.

AN attempt at blackmail was

AN attempt at blackmail was made
by some German nihilists in New
York last week. Threatening letters
were sent to rich Jew named Stras-
burger, demanding 100000. An at
tempt was made to abduct his little
daughter. The detectives caught one
of the scoundrels, and shot him dead.
His name was Sagert. Several others
have been arrested.

Brass.

Senator Malone, the readjuster, of
Virginia, who is acting with the Re
publicans in the matter of organizing
the Senate, is in favor, we believe, Of
the State Of Virginia paying about
two-thirds Of the State debt. Upon
the first manifestations of his inten-
ton to act with the Republicans, he
was bitterly assailed by many Of the
Southern Senators. Perhaps the ablest,
and one Of the most indignant, of these
Southern Senators, is Lamar, Of Mis-
sissippi. The indignation Of the Mis-
sissippi Senator naturally led inquisi-
tive Republicans toylooking up the
record Of Mr.. Lamar's strictly honest
State.
Between 1880 and 1888, Mississippi
issued bonds to the amount Of seven
millions of dollars. In 1S42 the entire
debt, principal and interest, was repu-
dated by the Legislature. When the
Republicans, under the Reconstruction
Acts, got hold Of the State Govern
ment, they attempted to make some
provision for the payment Of these
bonds, but the opposition. was so vio-
lent, that the matter was dropped.
The debt and accrued interest now
amount to twenty-three millions.
The leading Senator Of this State
which utterly refuses to attempt to
pay it's debts-is the man who
denounces the Virginia Senator, who
is in favor Of the old commonwealth
paying two-thirds Of her debt! Some
strange things happen in the political
world.

Mr.. Sherman is an Ohio man.

disloyalty to his State for Louisiana

producing a ''dead-lock." That is, the
rebels who are anchored in the Senate
Offices refuse to vacate, and the
Republicans are trying to compel them
to do so. In the contest all business
is stopped in the Senate, and the
Republicans are improving the time
by stirring up the Democratic tigers,

tutions, since the men most need Of The treatment
YIN net gneeta &c
Neither have they the will power to
remain after they get there, or the
money to pay their way. Hence the
necessity for State interference, first,
to force the attendance of those need
ing such treatment, and, second, to
provide the means for supporting
them while there. How fitting it
would be to compel the liquor-sellers
Of the State to pay the cost Of such
institutions, and thus, in some meas
ure, undo their own wrong-doing!
There have been inebriate asylums in
the State Of New York, but they have
been Of very little account because
they have lacked the two essential
features of the above plan. Drunk
ards seldom if ever possess the resolu-
ton to go and remain at such an in
stitution, even had they the means to
pay their own way. The power to
commit parties to such institutions
should be vested in the Probate Court.
and should be exercised much in tie
same way that insane parties are now
sent to insane asylums. The Iele-
graph, so far as we have any knowledge,
was the first paper to propose such
measure, which it did five or six years
ago, and has advocated off and on ever
since, but without much apparent eff
feet upon temperance reformers. And
yet we are persuaded that, if adopted,
it would prove to be one of the most
salutary temperance measures yet pro-
posed.
