"Our Own Murch.n

Mr.. Thompson II. Murch of Maine, Rep
resentative in Congress from our Fifth Dis
trict, has been talking to Philadelphia work.
ingmen and telling them the thing that is
not. Mr.. Murch, who has been far more
successful as agitator than as laborer, and
VIII draws five thousand dollars year from
the United States Treasury for doing almost
nothing, said among many other untrue
things that the Republican party has never
passed law in the interests of the working
man. He ought to know, as men do know
whose general intelligence is such as to fit
them for public servants, that the legislation
of this country for the last twenty years, and
the constitution itself, have been greatly en-
lsrged by Republican legislators for the ben
eft of the laborer; and that Republican ex-
ecutives have time and again originated or
approved acts leading to the same good end.
A Republican President struck the shackles
from tour millions of slave laborers against
the protest of Mr.. Murch and others of his
political faith who held that deed TO be I'M
constitutional. A Republican Legislature
passed the homestead law in the face OF
Democratic constitutional scruples." 1t
opened up the long reach between the Mis-
sissippi and the Pacific to commerce and la
Dor. 1t gave American factorie start
that has brought them abreast with the long
established Industries of the old world. And
30 well has it rewarded the iaborer that toll
ers are coming from Europe at the rate of a
million a year to this land where plenty of
labor and ample wages and political freedom
and social respect are secured to them by
the liberal and enlightened policy of the Re
publican party. Mr.. Murch is either very
forgetful or very ignorant.

WHEN the Ohio editors examine the cleo

Gratis were victorious last week, they find
that the Democratic gains are largely ficti-

while the Democratic does not show cores

THE death of Wood Hite, Jesse James's
pal, who was killed near Richmond, Kansas,
the same day that Jesse James was buried
in Nebraska, was brought about, the coro-

remarking by way of eulogy that the charac-

comment was unnecessary.

A CONSIDERABLE number of the Demo-
cratic members of the House are not in sym.
patty with the prevailing sentiment of their
party on the National bank question. There
is large majority of the House in favor of
extending the charters of the expiring banks
another twenty years, though there are not
enough to take the bill up out of its order.
Whether the bill passes or not the banks
will be continued. One or two have already
reorganized under the Free Banking law,
and others will follow suit as the period for
which they were originally organized draws
near its end. 1t will, however, simplify mat
tiers if the extension is made by law and the
banks relieved of the necessity Of going
through the form of dissolution and reorgan-
isation. Notwithstanding the recent failure
of Mr.. Grape, chairman OF the Committee
on Banking and Currency, 10 get the bill
taken up out of order, there is fair chance
OF its passage at the present session, the
more especially as the Democrats have little
to gain by it's defeat. This they may not be
able to see, however, and continue to oppose
the extension on general principles.
The Chicago Times says that Mr. Chand-
Ter is man of great force of character, en-
ergy and decision, and that if he had devot-
cd himself to the study of his profession he
would have been one of the greatest of law
yers. The same writer thus describes the
man: "Chandler is about forty-eigh. and
Is lean and shallow. His forehead is broad,
surmounted by thick, strong, dark-brown
hair. His eyes are very black and piercing,
deeply set under pair of overhanging eye
brows He wears huge sssois passka'
trimmed eyeglasses. Little, thin, brown
side whiskers ornament his face. There is
the keenness and the acuteness of the wea-
sci in the face of Mr.. Chandler, thoroughly
illustrative of his character. His voice is
harsh, low-keyed and full"

SOME of the Southern papers have been
saying that the Mississippi overflow would
not do much hurt after all, so far as raising
q crop is concerned, because the water
would soon run off and the mud would
prove an excellent fertilizer. The New Or
leans Times Democrat, however, reminds
people who talk in this way that they forget
or ignore the facts that the mules that are
left are lean, hungry and sick; the farming
implements scattered and spoiled; the
bitches and fences obliterated, and hun
bred and one other drawbacks ami ealami-
ties which follow the gloomy hiatus of the
flood. Not until October, says the Demo-
crat, can we speak positively as to the pros
pect of remunerative crop.
In 1879 the British tonnage between for
sign countries and Chinese treaty ports was
5,1S1, 843 tons in 1879 this had increased to
S,12s,004 tons. The American tonnage at
the same ports in 1875 was 2, 410, 421 or more
than one-fourth the British. In 1870 the
American tonnage at these ports fell away
to 270, $3.50 or less than one-twentieth of the
British tonnage and only about one-ninth of
the tonnage of American vessels in the same
trade In 1876 There's decay ''as is decay"
with reasons not difficult to find.

The Mabry Case.

The case of the State against Jos. A.
Mabry, ST., and Jos. A. Mabry, ir., charged
with the murder of Don. G. Lusby and his
father, Moses Lusby, progresses slowly,
and the indications are it will consume the
rest of the week in the Criminal Court, The
jury was obtained Monday evening, it will
be remembered. Yesterday the Court had
to wait all the forenoon, on account of the
absence of Col. W. A. Henderson, of counsel
for the defense, who was engaged in the
Circuit Court
Immediately. upon the assembling OF
court at l:3O p. NJ, the witnesses for either
side were sworn and sent out, and the case
was gone into. Recorder G. G. Nelson was
the first witness called for the State. He
was examined at length, and after him
Chief of Police W. H. Harper, who had
arrested Don Lusby, at the time of the
killing, and Coroner r. FL. Hood after him.
The evidence of these three consumed the
afternoon and was, in substance, the same
as has been published by us. The court
then adjourned till o'clock this morning.
