BLAINE VXsNG WITH T,LDEN.

Wash. Cor. Baltim ore SUM-
MT. Blaine was III New York recently,
and read in one of the papers there
finely prepared dc description of Governor
Tilden's new mansion. One thing that
struck him particularly was the way
tne dining room was finished OUT, He
visited the house, aud was particularly
pleased with it. He Immediately made
up his mind that the dining room of his
own house should be fitted out like 1t.
He accordingly telegraphed his builder
to meet him in New York. The two
then visited Mr.. Tilden's hause. The
builder was asked to prepare an csti-
mate of what it would cost to make the
Blaine dinning room like it. Tho
builde made the necessary calculations,
talked with Mr.. Tilden's contractor,
and then sat down and began figuring.
answer. "Well, how much will it
cost 2" Mr.. Blaine asked. "Niy figur-
ing" replied the builder, "puts it at
$4,000. " 81 am supposed to DO an ur-
usually rich man, remarked Mr.,
Blaine in reply, "but I'll tell you cam
didly can't stand such dininE-room
as that. l like it very much, aud
while Gov. ridden can have such
things, I'll have todismiss the thought
Why, my entire house finished won't
cost me more than $50, ,O0O-$52, 900 for
II dining-room We will have to give
it up. Gov. Tilden is on top this time,
sure" The builder returned, and MIR,
Blaine's dining-room will be fitted out
according to the original plan. 1t is
elegant, however, as ii is, but much OF
its elegance is in its simplicity of ar
rangcment and finish.

THE COTTON SEED TRAFFIC.

n meeting of planters to organize II
movement to secure higher ratio for
their cotton seed than is offered by tho
oil mills, was held at brunswick
Point, Warren county, Miss, on Sep
tc,nbcr 29th, and was attended by u
number of planters, from Warren and
lssaqucna counties, Miss, East Carrou
parish, La, and Chicot county, Ark.
y series of resolutions were unani-
mously adopted, and it was decided
not TO sell cotton seed at the price at
present offered, and 10 store seed until
such time as the planters are offered
what they consider Il fair divide on
this portion of their products. We
copy theiifth resolution, which sounds
Il no'o Of warning to all combinations
9th. That in conclusion, we wish to
give notice to all combinations OF
every description, whether cotton seed
or otherwise: that wo are no longer
slaves; that we arc free men and per-
fectly able to take care OF ourselves,
can sell our products to whom we
please and for Il fair price, and wo do
not propose that the prices for tho samo
shall be fixed by any combination
which plainly shows itself inimical to
our vital interests.

THE OHIO ELECTION.
IC;ncinnati Enauirer.l 1


The democratic State ticket is elect
ed. Our dispatches will give our read
ers all the Information we have as tC
the majorities. 1t is large enough tc
be emphatic and decisive, and to sadly
discourage those managing republican
politicians who have been conducting
the republican side of the campaign
! with view to fixing themselves in
high places for the future. Governor
| Foster, who assumed the leadership of
his party this year, staked his political
fortunes on the sstenperance'' issue,
and it looks now as though he would
have TO turn over what is left Of re-
publicanism in this State to others.
Whatever the merits Of the "temper-
ance' question, it was not honestly
presented. The governor attempted
to strengthen his fight in the country
by promises of reform in the matter of
| intoxicating drink and observance of
Sunday, and even attempted to indi.
rectly commit his followers to prohibi-
! tion in the near future. AT the same
time he winked at Il different style of
| campaigning in the cities. The repub.
| llcan campaign was conducted ON two
sets Of principles, and its State ticket
has fallen between them. Fosters fall
Is the hardest, however, because Eos.
ter was the real leader.
The Significance of the result, how.
ever, goes far beyond State or local
questions. Coupling the voice of
Ohio with probable democratic vic.
tory in New York and Pennsylvania
the eyes of the people look to demo.
cratic control of the Government at
Washington. The democratic party
Of tho United States was swindled out
of the Presidency to which it elected
Tildcn in 1866, and the Presidential
election of 1880 showed such II close
popular balance that we may well
look to democratic control after 1854.
The tide has been turning for six years,
and the democratic flood appears to
be upon us.
Not the least important feature of
the contest in Ohio was the fight for
the representation in Congress. The
republican Legislature rcdistricted the
State under the decennial apportion-
ment with a view to keeping the dem.
ocracy in meager minority. The
gerrymander has been handsomely re-
bukcd. The returns on congressman,
at the hour at which this article is
written, are far from complete, but the
advices at hand justify democratic
pride over the result, and oven en-
courage the hope that majority Of
the Ohio delegation in the next Con-
gcess Will be democratic. Even in dis
tricts which have been regarded as i'm
prcgnabie i'll their republican MAORI
ties the democratic gains arc very
large, and public men who have been
high in the councils of the opposition
find themselves tOttering.
Altogether, tho victory for the dem
ocratic party in Ohio is decided and
conspicuous, and justifies an old-f,sh-
iOncu democratic hurrah.

GEN. HOODS ORPHANS.

A Houston letter of Sept. -, to the
Galveston News says
Major Robert Burns, or this city, is
in receipt of the following letter rela.
tive to the present whereabouts aud
condition of the children of the late
Gen. Hood:
WESTClrsrEE, 20. NEW NoRK,
September 20, 1882.
Robert Burns, ESQ.,, Secretary Hoods
Texas Brigade, Houston, Texas:
Dear Sir:-l write in behalf of my
brother-in-law, Mr.. John a. Morris,
whose health for some months past
has been SO uncertain as to interfere
very materially with his correspond
ence. He desires me to acknowledge
tho receipt of your letter Of the 2Sth of
April last, and to give you, as you re-
quest, some Information regarding the
children Of the late Gen. Hood. These
are all, am happy to say, exceedingly
well placed. The eldest, twin girls of
twelve years ofage, are being educated
by MIR. Morris himself, in Hanover
Germany, whence his own children
have returned after sojourn there of
several years. John Bell, the eldest
boy, ten years old. has been adopted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Russell, of Mississip-
pi, and we frequently receive the best
accounts.of his health anu happiness
Duncan Norbctt, aged nine years, is
now at school near Saratoga, n. y.
where his expenses are betrayed by
Miss Furniss,- Il wealthy maiden lady
of New York, with whom hc spends
his vacations ut her beautiful summer
home i'll Lcnoy, Mass. LILLIAN and
Marian, twin girls of eight years,
are adopted and beloved children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thatcher Adams, of New
York city, and Odilc and Ida, aged
six years, also twins, have hccn taken
by Mr.. and Mrs. McGec, of Wood
vile, Miss, where they have a very
lovely and happy home. Oswald the
next i'll order, Il boy of nearly five
years, has been adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. l1arney, of New York, who last
summer took the child to visit all OF
his fathers relatives in Kentucky, and
who arc devoteGly attached to their
young charge. Anna Gertrude, the
youngest after having been taken by
Mrs. Josephs, Of Georgia, died two
years since from teething, aged one
year. All those who have adopted
these children are themselves child
less, save only Mr.. and Mrs. Morris,
and thus the little boys and girls
have the undivided love and devotion
of their new parents. They arc each
and every one fine children, handsome

ought not to be; but that millions of
prayers were answered, net merely by
reaction upon the soul of the person
praying, but in other ways. He be-
lieveu in miracles, because he believed
that they were Just as possible to-day
as they ever had been if only the same
circumstances should happen. lie en-
phatically believed in the two great
miracles Of tho New Testament, the
miraculous conception and the resur-
rection of Jesus Christ. He thought
there was nothing in all these things
that was Inconsistent with science or
| philosophy. lie had always been ac-
custome to keep up with the state of
science in its developments, and he ac-
cepted it cordially; nor did it ever dis
turb his faith in these fundamental!
things, although It increased his want

passed to the inspiration of the Bible,
| concerning which he said that he

can PreSbyter; ran Church. The inspira-
ton there stated WAS not that of the
book, but that OF the men who wrote

bal inspiration, but he believed in the
of men who wrote the different books
Of the Bible, although in very differ

out interruption, but when he passed
to the subject of the atonement he was

theory of substitution, or in the doe
trine that all punishment which be-
lopged to the human race or any part
of it was concentrated upon the head
of Christ. He held that human souls
may only be saved through suffering,
and that Christ, as the representative
of the divine nature on earth, suffered
beyond all others for the sake Of men,
and as an exhibition of the eternal
love of God and Of Gods Willingness
to suffer in order to save men.
