The Battle Ended.

The prolonged contest which has
ragged at Albany for the past two months.
came to an end yesterday in the selection
of Elbridge G. Lapham to succeed Ros-
coe Conkling in the United States Senate.
Lapham's election or the adjourn
ment of the convention was the only
choice left the Republicans. The
Democrats had threatened to stay away
and thus permit Lapham's election, and
all of the stalwarts would not join with
them to secure an adjournment.
Thus ends Mr.. Conkling's fight, and
probably his career. The struggle that
he set on foot was the most disgraceful
in the history of American politics, and
the country will rejoice that it IS over
BY the help of Mr. Arthur the Republi-
cans will control the Senate unless the
Democrats should examine into the pro-
ceedings at Albany when the Senate re-
assemblies. Should they do so it may be
that the new fiedged Senators may have
a hard road to travel ere they reach their
seats.
What Conkling will do is now the
question. Dignity would tell him to
content himself with the private station
to which he has been relegated. But
the man who could not brook to be re-
sisted by the President will hardly rest
quiet now that he has been so Inundated
by the men over whom he lorded it so
long. He can do the Republican party
a deal of harm if he chooses. 1t re,
mains to be seen whether he will bury
or treasure his revenge.

The efforts made at Washington to
show that Windows refunding scheme
is cheaper than that proposed by the bill
which the late Mr.. Hayes so promptly
vetoed, are bold but are fruitless. The
fact will strike most people that the diff
ference between 3 and 81 per cent is
quite marked, and no amount state
ments and explanation will rub it out.
If Mr.. Window can explain just how
it is that the State of Missouri can float
bonds at lower rate of interest than
the United States, and at the same time
Justify his management, his explanation
might carry weight. The fact that the
bonds have been snapped up at ~ per
cent. and that rate offered without war
rant, proves to the average mind that
the bonds would have been readily taken
at 8 per cent. The matter is made clear
by recent procedure of the city of Buff
falo.
1t advertised for proposals for $11O,-
916 SO tax loan bonds, bearing interest
at the rate of three and half per cent.
per annum, to be dated July /, 1881, and
payable in five years, and received offers
of premiums, the highest of which,
81 6s on thousand, it accepted from
Daniel A. Moran, of New York. Inc
Buffalo Courier remarks: "By selling
the bonds on these conditions the city
has actually and to the extentof this loan
obtained better terms than have SO far
been secured by the Government OF the
United States for any portion OF its
loans" The Buffalo bonds, it will be
observed, are very short ones. They are
to be paid in five years, in accordance
with cnarter provision.
Talk as they may, Hayes and Window
between them so managed that every
cent of interest above three per cent.
paid out to the bond purchasers is a
bonus taken out of the peoples pocket.
One-half of one per cent. on dollar is
a tride, but on millions it makes big
hole in the Treasury, and all the explana-
lions that can be prepared will not cover

The funny man of the New York
Times hits off the numerous cases of
shots through the liver developed by the
Presidents case thus: "The Confederates
during the civil war seem to have habitu.
ally aimed at Union livers, and to have
hit them at least twice out of three times.
1t may seem strange to any one except
Concord philosopher that a gunshot
wound occurring to-day could produce
scores of similar wounds ten or fifteen
years ago, but who can limit the possibili
ty of the vague and the unthinkable2
The thousands of men whose livers have
been shot away in the civil war during
the last fortnight are clearly the victims
of cohtagion, and if the contagion
spreads, as it promises to do, there will
not be a sound liver in America month
hence"

Senator Hill in the Hands of the


A Philadelphia special to the Balti-
more Sun says: Senator B. II. Hill,
of Georgia, passed through this city
Tuesday, en- route for Cape May. He
returned the same day in company with
DR.. S. d. Gross, with whom he con-
suited about an affection of his mouth,
of the character of which the Senator
was ignorant. 1t proved to be epithe-
Iona, and DR.. Gross CONSULTED with Dr.
Pancoast, when an immediate operation
was decided on. 1t took place at one
o'clock Wednesday. and DR.. Gross has
communicated the following letter to the
editor of the Press:
JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE Hos
PITAL, July 20.-In response to your in
quiry, would say that Senator B. IL.
Hill, of Georgia, was most successfully
operated upon today, at o'clock p. m. I,
at this hospital, for epithelioma. This
affection, which formed inside the
mouth, has been in progress about eigh-
teen months, without the patient being
aware of its dangerous character. Dur
ing the operation, while under the infu-
ence of ether, the Senator lost no blood
of any account, and experienced no
shock. The patient is doing admirably
well, and the prospects are good for a
rapid aud permanent recovery.

There is not an honest hair in his
head" says Congressman Jorgenson
(Rep., Va.) of Senator Malone (Read-
juster. Va-) The former belongs to the
Republican faction which processes to
oppose an endorsement of the Read
juster State ticket, but which will un-
doubtedly support it SO soon as assured
that the Federal patronage in Virginia
shall not be placed under Mahone's ex-
elusive control. Negotiations between
this faction and the President were in
active progress when the latter was shot,
and the whole matter is now awaiting
his recovery. In the meantime, Mr..
Jorgenson and his fellows are making
faces" at Malone and debt reputation
with as great apparent earnestness as
they will eulogise him and his cause
when the patronage matter is arranged.

The Morgan City Qa) ReUiet0 denies
emphatically the assertion of Northern
paper that Louisiana has lost its trade in
alligator skins, and that this trade has
been transferred to Florida. In that
parish, the ReUieU declares, there are
quite a number of young men engaged
in hunting slligatOrs for their skins,
hundreds of which are shipped to New
Orleans. The increased demand for
alligator leather in the North and Europe
will probably cause this sport to become
popular again.

In the now probable event of the
Presidents recovery, says the Bridge
port Farmer, Guiteau's pistol has settled,
three years in advance, the action of the
next Republican National Convention.
Mr.. Garfield will be renominated. The
day of jubilee" over his recovery, which
has been proposed by Governor Foster,
of Ohio, is partly intended to promote
the "boom" for the Presidents renomi-
nation, which is already in progress.
Such aspirants as Secretary Blaine and
Senator Sherman are said to have already
stepped aside, recognizing the futility of
further endeavors in their own behalf.

The Coming COTTON ExpOsitiOn.

Mr.. II. |. Kimball announces that the
success of the international Cotton Elk
position. which is to be held at Atlanta,
Ca, opening October 5 and ending De-
cember 81, is already assured. In cir
cular Just issued, and which is addressed
to intending exhibitors, Mr.. Kimball
says: 81 have the pleasure of announcing
that the financial success of this great
international enterprise is assured be-
You'd a doubt by the liberal subscrip-
tions that have been made to its stock,
by the large number of actual entries
already made, and by the certainty of
an immense throng of visitors. On my
return from an extensive trip through
the North and West these facts were laid
before the Executive Committee at its
regular meeting, held June %, when it was
unanimously voted to rescind that part of
the rule relating to exhibits which re-
quired payment for every square foot of
floor space occupied, and to make the
entry fee of $50 the only charge against
them. Under this decision every mer
chant, mechanic or manufacturer in the
civilized world can enter his wares for
exhibition, and secure the necessary
floor space by sending his formal appli-
cation, addressed to the International
Cotton Exposition, accOmpaD;' d with
his check for the entry fee of $25." In
the matter of classification it has been
decided that the first four departments
will contain articles related to textile
fabrics, as was originally contemplated.
The other two departments will include
all products. machines and manufac-
lures not related to textile fabrics, and
will admit any product of human labor.

A NEW CoUNTERFEIT.-A new and
dangerous counterfeit silver dollar is now
in circulation in Pennsylvania. The
West Chester Local NeaoS says "The
imitation of the genuine silver dollar is
in all respects perfect. showing that the
machinery used is of a high order. The
metal is the only mark by which the
spurious character can be told, it being
of white tinge, in no way resembling
the silver used in the genuine. What
this composition consists of has not been
decided upon by experts, but it does not
require an expert to detect the metallic
impurity of the spurious dollar"

Political Degeneration,

Editor Morning Neaos The blood of
President Garfield. shed by Guiteau,
may-we hope will-prove the regenera-
ton of the Republic. Decentralization
eliminated in the discharge of the mis-
cradle assassin's pistol Moral and POI
ntical wickedness could sink no lower.
So silently, yet SO surely, had the poison
of party corrupted The country, that
shock so violent was needed to rouse the
people of the States TO a sense of their
extreme danger; and to the degradation
of patriotism and morals that had insensi-
bly, eaten away regard for our constitu-
tional union and national fraternity
the stays of our Democratic. Republi-
canism. Destroy our Constitutional
Union and freedom viii Shrek"
more piercingly than when Kos
ciusko fell And yet that
destruction has been, unwittingly, q
national effort for the past thirty years.
During that time party triumphed over
patriotism. Democrats were separated
into sectional factions, and sectional
hate was engendered. Civil war fol-
lowed and the land was deluged with
fraternal blood. Equal civil and political
rights for beth sections no longer ex-
listed. The Union had been resolved
into conquerors and the conquered.
But a higher power rules over the
ambitions of men. Providence intends
this country, we firmly believe, to be
the earth's alembic for the distillation
of the principles of polity, religion and
morals. Where there shall be no privi-
legged classes to command; and in which,
by free discussion, human nature shall
gradually arrive at those truths that
are to elevate mankind to the
perfection of the human intelligence
and moral sense for which it was created.
We had wandered from the paths of our
political obligations and duties, and
were given over for time to the indul.
gence of our vicious passions. Demo
cratic purity was almost lost to us in the
violent resentments of party. Extinc-
ton threatened our republic. Divine
interposition only could save; and that,
coming in the usual guise of human in
tervention, struck at the pivot of our
political institutions, the central figure,
the Executive, binding together and
regulating the machinery of our govern
ment, by faithfully executing the laws,
and preserving, protecting and defend
ing the Constitution of the United
States" Any other man in the nation
might have fallen without influence
upon our political existence, shocking
merely our moral sense and manly feel
ing But the blow fell upon the one
person whose injury could work ruin,
or benefit, to the people. That it will
prove benefit we think, as it opens our
eyes to the danger of party spirit, and
the misery it will bring upon US, if not
controlled. 1t points out, moreover, the
danger of permitting ignorant politicians
to take the lead; that sectional ideas are
baneful; and that our future safety will
be found in those statesmen who, under
standing the science of government, will
honestly interpret and administer the
Constitution. DEMOCRAT.

sleepers of glass, having groove in the

themselves the functions of both sleepers
and rails, do away with the necessity for
separate iron rails, with their fastenings,
joints and other complications. 1t is
