JUDGING from the teeth clenched and
fist-doubled style in which the Southern
press gloats over the news of recent Dem
cratic successes in the North, it is very
evident that the secessionists and rebels
of that section, who only few years ago
undertook to destroy the Republic, are
anticipating an early assumption of the
Government at Washington.

DECAPTTATI0N.-A wholesale decapi
tation of officials has taken place at
Washington within a few days. These
upon whom the Presidents guillotine has
fallen are more than suspected of being
accomplices of the star-route offenders, or
if not, at least in active sympathy with
them. The officers who have been re-
moved thus far are: Marshal Henry, of
the District of Columbia; Postmaster
Anger, Of Washington City, and his as
sistant, Mr.. Parker; ex-senator Spencer,
Government Director of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad; Mr.. Helm, foreman of the
government printing Office. The Attor-
ney General asked the President fer these
removals last Friday, and they were made
the very nsxt day, showing that prompt
action is one Of the qualifications of the
present Executive.

THE name of E. D. Cos, of the White

ton with the position of Clerk OF the
Senate this winter. It uas generally
conceded last winter that better Chief
Clerk of the Assembly than ED Coe
never stood behind the desk at Madison,
and his services in like capacity to the
Senate would prove equally as acceptable
to that body.

WISCONSIN STATISTICS.

The annual report of Secretary of State
Timme for the year ending September 30
| 1882, is in the hands of the State Print
| er. From advance proofs the following
items of general interest are taken: The
receipts Of the year aggregated $2,224,-
029.41, aud the disbursement 1888,
| 695. ia deficiency of $500, 666.54; but
there was a balance in the Treasury, Sep
tsmber 80, 1881, of 1886, 10000 covering
the present deficit and leaving balance
in the Treasury September so, 1882, of
1926, 633.26.
The Secretary estimates that the sx-
penditures during the years beginning
January l, 1884, aud January l, 1885,
will be 81, 041, 72O.SS, and the revenues
$94l. 720.SS. The total debt of the State
is $2,252,O57. The total State tax levy
for 1882 was $40, 220.SS. The cash bal
| ance in the trust funds is So, 1851, Snd
trust funds at interest aggregate S., 49,
362.
The Commissioners of Public Lands
report that the sales of the last year were
2lS, 395 acres, which is more than double
that of the preceding year, and within
400 acres of the combined sales of 1879,
1880 and 1881. The price ranged from
| 30 cents to So per acre. There is due
to the State 52S, 161 acres from the United
States in the re-examlnationo of the swamp
land grant of September %, 1850. OF
| the large sales of lands during the past
year, spectators took the great bulk, the
sales to actual settlers being proportion
ately small. This and other facts lead
the Commissioners TO suggest that the
Legislature adopt new methods for selling
| land, similar to those in Michigan and
Minnesota, that would secure better
prices for lands and cut off speculation.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The complete returns from Michigan
show that, while Begole, the Greenback-
Democratic Fushien candidate for Cover
nsr, is elected by about 5000 plurality
all the Republican candidates for State of
icers are elected by from six to eight
thousand 1t is, to all intents and pur-
poses, Republican victory.
As the official returns come ia from the
late elections, remarks the New York
Tribune, they are found to furnish fer
tile source of study. The figures in some
of the States show surprising changes.
The large msiorities of the Democrats are
found to be almost wholly due to Repub-
lican indifferences and disgust. In Cali
fornia, for instance, the Republicans lose
nearly 1000 votes, while the Democrats
lose less than 5000. The returns from
the Southern States are also interesting.
In Texas the majority of over $4,000 for
Hancock IS reduced more than two-thirds.
The total vote of Louisiana falls Is per
cent below that cast in 1880. Every
thing points to this being the red letter
''off year. in American politics.
THE Democrats are not banking much
upon their victory in Pennsylvania.
None of them are so rash as to claim the
State for the Democratic Presidential can
didate in 1884 The Philadelphia Rec
ord tells them that they "only come into
power as a choice Of evils that they
''are in the position of the spaniel which
ran away with the bone while the bull
dogs were fighting over it. If they can
make their accidental prosperity inure to
the public advantages they may possibly
persuade the voters to let them keep their
bone" It must be CALLING to the Demo-
cratic party's pride to have the fact that
it is only choice before intolerablc boss
rule continually thrust into its face.

Virginia Congressman.

Tho nomination of John S. Wise for
Congressman-at-large in Virginia by the
Republican and Readjuster State Central
Committees, at harmonious gathering
of those two representative bodies, speaks
well for the genuineness and thorough
ness of the coalition between the Liberal
Democrats and Republicans of the Old
Dominion. The nomination will be en-
Enthusiastically indorsed by the several
district coalition conventions, and will
be ratified by the people at the polls in
November by majority Of thirty thou
sand.
The Coalition district conventions will
settle all questions of rivalry between
the several aspirants in each district,
and high hopes are entertained that
seven, and perhaps eight, of the districts
will send anti-Bourbon members. The
candidates will be selected by delegates
chosen by the great body of the voters
upon whom they are to rely for election,
and after the conventions shall have
spoken all will join heartily in the work
against Bourbon restoration.

The compulsory retirement Of Flipper
from the United States Army has lifted IL
ponderous weight from the Democratic
mind.
INCREASING pride in the splendid pub
lie school system of this District is an
inevitable result of each recurring an
nual examination.
EAST TENNESSEE reports the best crops
known in ten years There have been
no cruel removals of "Gariield Repub-
iicans" in that section.
ST. LOUIS is boasting of the longevity of
her population. An octogenarian of that
city is not older in practical experience
than n Chicago youth of twenty years.
WHATEVER else may be said of Captain
Howgate, it can't be honestly charged that
towns were destroyed and hundreds killed
by tornadoes when he managed the
Weather Bureau.
DAVID A. WELLS wants to retire the
present leaders of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Wells is not the only philosopher
who thinks decapitation would be good
for that organization.
NOTHING could be better calculated to
swell the Republican campaign fund than
the average Democratic translation of the
Hubbell circular. Thus is righteousness
promoted by the devices and designs OF
the wicked.
OUR morning contemporary urges the
Democratic party TO :" rise to the level OF
its true duty" The trouble with that
suggestion is that there are no two Dem
ocrats in the country who can agree as
to what the " true duty" of the party is.
AMONG the bills that ought not to go
over to the next session of Congress is
the one providing for the retirement of
superannuated officers Of the revenue
marine service. The justice Of this
measure has not been questioned, and
its expediency has been amply demon
strated.
The men who, as wounded soldiers,
were hauled from battle-flelds in army
wagons and were lucky to get bit OF
straw to put under their broken bones in
the cattle cars in which they were sent
TO hospitals at the rear, now feel that
they are more than repaid for all their
suflcrngs when they see Vanderbilt,
Gould, and other eminent bondholders
riding over the country in their more than
regaly magnificent special trains. If il
be sweet TO die for ones country how
happy is the soldier who lives to see his
country bringing forth such crop o.
money kings as this land now boasts of
and realizes that his blood enriched the
soil on which they grew.
