4 YERY COMMON CASE.

A short time ago two men of free and easy
habits. at late hour of the night, accom-
panied two women of not particularly good
reputation to several beer saloons, where all
of the party drank freely. Thence two of
them by car and two on foot proceeded in a
somewhat drunken condition toward the lodg
ings of the women. On their way the man
and woman who proceeded on foot en-
cOuntered an unknown ruilian, probably
more intoxicated than themselves, for lie
instantly developed a belligerent mood,
aud Oh the suspicion that the others were
laughing at him. when they were probably
laughing only because their wits were out, he
struck the man q blow in the face which
felled him TO the pavement. Recognition Of
what he had done probably half sobered the
drunken nllian, and he made off before the
woman could secure help or direct pursuit I;
and he probably fled without any idea that in
falling his victim had fractured his skull and
received a mortal wound. Such midnight
5raws are of common occurrence i'll the
metropolis, but the public seldom hear of
them except when the result proves fatal.
The death of thA victim in the case alluded to

The record of De Longs last days is pitifu IN
the extreme, and it is painful to read or think
of what he and his men endured. No COM
plants were made, no expressions OF despair
weremttered. Hope was dead. "Alexy dying.
Doctor baptized him. Read prayers for sick"
Lee and Kaack died. De Long writes: " We
carried them around the corner ont OF sight,
"then my eyes closed up" What makes II
all the more heartreDdiEg is the belief that
once or twice these men had come near being
saved. 1t the boat had only landed on the
west side of the mouth of the Lena, they
would undoubtedly have found Upper Bulun.
If they had followed along in the footsteps
of Noras and Ninderman as best they were
able some of them probably might have had
as good fortune as the two who were sent
ahead The records determine finally that
under the circumstances nothing that Melville
or anyone else could do would have helped
them. The last man must have died within a
few hours after the last entry was made
in De Longs diary-October 80. This
WAS about three weeks after NOras and
! Ninderman were sent forward for help.
! If the Engineer had gone on to Bulun with
the Russian cxiles, he would have been there
on October 2S--two days before the last note
was written by the dying Lieutenant-Com-
mander. No relief party which he could have
organized with all possible haste could have
found the men alive. Again, therefore, it cal
be affirmed that the intrepid Melville did al
that he could to save his companions. dis
conduct was above criticism.

Nothing is much more exasperating than 10

who will not help themselves. The truth OF TINS
assertion has impressed itself of late upon the
Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society, and the man
ayers declare that they cannot and Will not
care for any more Russian exiles of Hebraic
extraction. What they have done has not
been appreciated. The exiles will not work

idleness. The society has 1900 of these un-
fragrant persOns on its hands now, and does
not want any more; in fact, notice mas
been sent to the Emigration Commas
sicncrs to this effect. The European re-
lief organizations have plainly imposed on
onr local committee, and have sc mt US along
with many respectable Hebrews large and as
sorted lot of very bad paupers. They should
not have been allowed to land; and the
Emigration Commissioners do not deserve any
sgmIathy now that the Aid Society has thrown
some of the refugees back on their hands.
This is what they get for having relaxed The
inspection laws to let the paupers In. The Ala
Society and the Commissioners ought to have
been on their gu ard. The readiness with
which all the European authorities lent will
ing hand to help the refugees westward and
ont of their dominions, might have given
them hint Of what to expect.

Apparently the Representatives think that the
use of tobacco is not so much of a vice as in
diligence in spirituous drink. They voted yes
terday TO reduce the tax on cigars and cigar
cites to lower point than was urged by the
Committee Oh Ways and Means but the ad-
vocates of less expensive whiskey were allowed
no encouragement. If the bill becomes a law
in this shape, as it seems likely to do, the
taxes will be reduced almost twenty-four mil
Ions-six millions more than the measure
originally proposed.

THE STATE ELECTION.

Under our wretched regulations in the
matter of vote.counting and returning, we
are not yet able to announce the political
complexion of Texas, our own home,
while from iar-oiT New York and even still
farther California we know quite closely
how things stand but we are, thanks to
the private enterprise OF the newspapers
through special kilograms, etc, in posses
sion OF sufficient news to know
that the state has elected the
full line of democratic state of
licers. We know also that, except in the
Galveston, or "shoo.string" district, Texas
sends to the national capital solid demo
cratic delegation. And, indeed, who is
there shall say that with an otherwise solid
democratic delegation, MAJOR TON 0cHIL'
TREE will not fully cooperate on all matters
pertaining to the states welfare with our
other representatives He is Texan by
birth, by education and by affection. His
father before him honored the state, and
one of whose counties to-day bears his
name. The case of JuDGE, now GOVERNOR,
IRELAND, is somewhat anomalous. lie has
run behind his ticket so far az
shown by returns received. The
unanimous choice of the Galveston conven-
ton, when ROBERTS had withdrawn, it
would seem that he would have poled a
stronger vote, especial y after his able and
energetic canvass. The probable causes
would seem TO be that the old-time and de.
voted admirers and adherents of the cold
alcalde,h were lukewarm after their failure
to secure the denomination Tor their iavorte
it, indeed, not II little secretly rebellous
In the next place the once heated fires that
| ragged in the SCnLEIcrEE contest, in the
BeXar district, a few years ago, have left
some live sparks that will not down and out.
In the next place, GOVERNOR IRELAND
is not generally believed to be genuinely a
really progressive man. His past record
or rather the popular belief as to his true
veiws and feelings on the school and rail
road questions, has had much to do with
the absence of enthusiasm for his election.
And, again, il. is thought that he is not
overly solctious for new people from states
north, and from nations across the waters,
TO come among us aud participate in our
institutions and affairs. But we approhend
that JUDGE IRELAND will undeoeiye many OF
these suspicious and allay the fears
by being fully up to the demands of the
hour and the pleadings of progress. Ills
mind is too broad; his hopes for the grow.
ing grandeur of this Empire State. too ex.
tended and sincere to be crampcd. His
travels throughout our limits have added
to his store of information, and he must
surely appreciate the situation; and we
predict for his career the realization of the
wishes of the most sanguine lover of free
schools, railroads and other commercial
facilities, and evenhanded justice 10 ali.

upon the play, when suddenly somebody

sounded from various directions. Con-
sternation seized the audience, who sprang
to their feet aud rushed madly for the doors
