Political Changes.

We believe that the near future Is
to witness curious changes and com
binations in politics.
Tho defeat OF Mr.. Conhling in New
York leaves open to him only one OIL
two courses. lie must either ally
hiILself with tho Democratic party
or he must strike boldly out upon u
platform OF antimonopoly and, join
Ing together with other and kindred
spirits, sound the keynote OF the for.
nation OF q new party.
In either event the loss OF New
York state to the Republican party
Ii the fall campaign seems ahsolute-
" certain. It is hardly too much to
Gay that IL lost this fall it will remain
with the opposition long enough to
cause the loss TO the Republicans OF
several members OF Congress and
possible all hope Of securing control
10 the N.4tioua! Congress.

A Dangerous Element

The first seed Of death to tho Ro-
man Republic was the division OF
society into a superior, privileged,
and m inferior, oppressed class.
From tho momcn. the line Is drawn
separating society into mobile and
ignoble classes, an irrcptessiblc con-
flict begins which must result III the
ens'aymunt Of tho latter or the over
throw Of the former.
The patricians Of Rome by mou--
opoliz;ng the wealth, honors and
Offices OF state, were enabled to main
tain their dignity, and suppress the
revolutionary tendency Of p.eaeian
independence by substituting the i'm

graduation. that foundation must Ic
iminor,alizcd in order to pcrpetuate
the superatiucturc. Tie monopoly
OF wealth, resources and official hon.
ors of the Roman pa,rician resulted
in the empire.
The nobility OF France, Spain,
Lombardy aud Britain was founded
upon the possession OF land, or upon
civil employment.
Men OF large estates were styled
mobiles. Property did not change
hands. Estates were pcrpctuaied.
Individual owners came and went
with time, but the estate, with its
wealth. titles, honors and privileges,
remained. Men were noble by de-
scent. and rich by the same means.
Wealth gave them power, and power
gave them pre- -cmincncc. and these
privileges were kept in families an.
linked 10 postcri.y by the law OF
entail and primogeniture. But this
condition of society can exist only by
the aid OF arbitrary power in tic
hands OF the no;,les. The ropalaee

The Dark Crisis.

The crisis in the Pres ident's case has

of ths latest dispatches, up to a late
hour last night, there must be change
for the better in tie Presidents conG'-
ton within forty-eight hours or the

Yesterday afternoon revealed the alarm

of saving the Presidents life WAS by II

lT SEEMS TO BE the general impress
sion that the hlrning OF Mr.. Aaron il.
WuolWar.l's barn on Saturday nghN
was the work of inccndiaries, and Il
,gp,, fred in revenge for the unfortunate
cireum,tance which took place som"
five years ago, between Mr.. Woodward
and some boys, when the boys were
shot while stealing chestunts. One Of

lecrcd died irolu the effects of the
wounds and the other, Shelley, recover
ed. It is possible that there may have
been other causes for the fire but the
strong threats Of revenge that were
made after the affair alluded to, give y
strong coioling Of truth to the theory
that it was the work OF incendiaries
1t is p ainly the duty Of Mr.. Woodward
the loser Of the crops burned, OF Mr

port of this assertion they s"@te that

On the other hand, CaEtain Riddle
berger, who processes to h~in position

in regard to the issue, declares that tie
Readjus ters We're never so Numerous as
at present, and tha; a conclusive We
tory will be gained AZ the polls. From
present appearances the ch&oceS look
in favor Of Colonel C&reron, ti4e Read
,juster candidate, bUj it j. settled in
advance that neither party will %"h'eve
success without tighting, and the con-
test will in all probability be very
close one.
The gubernatoral candidates ar" both
men of rank and distinction, possessed
of great personal popularity, both fluent
speakers and both distinguished for
services rendered in the rebel army.
Between the 5wo parties so far as rcpu-
diation is concerned there is not much
choice, except that while the EeadjuS-
ters openly reputliate $4,000, eco, the
Bourbon Democrats refuse to ncrelve
tie tax rate to enable them to pay
either principal Or interest, and he
sides are guilty Of the Neli

THELAHGE NUMBER Of dea hS report.
ea for last week shows that there is ''n-
usual mortality in our city, ana mat
there must be somc cause for it. FOR
the week. twenty five deaths haveMeh
rcpnrtel, while for the corresponding
wcci. lust year only thirteen dea hS
were reported. This is only one less
than double The mortality Of last year,
and indicates that there must be some
cause for such all increase. 1t cannot
be attributed to smallpox, for happily,
only four fatal cases from that disease
are reported, and we ae pleased to note
that this disease is being speedily
stamped out under the energetic meas
ures adopted by the Board of Health.
II this mortuary increase is caused from
the tlthincss of the streets, alleys, gut
ters and garbage receptacles, then there
cannot be too great urgency in having
these causes renoced, and that right
