GENERAL NEWS.

Judge Field thinks that Bayard,
Mcdonald, Hancock and Morrison
are the most prominent candidates
for the Democratic presidential NOM
nation in 1882. The Democrats
ought to advertise for bids if this is
the best they can do.
The latest fashionable freak of the
young English girls is to cut their
hair short, wear scarlet cricket caps
and carry walking-canes. This cos
tune is said to be quito common at
Brighton. The article didn't state
that it was particularly desirable
that men should stay away from
Brihgton, but we presume this is
so.
The Republican party has lots OF
grit. 1t has plenty of good, stiff
backbone. 1t has no more fear OF
bosses, large or little, than veteran
campaigner has of ward bully. 1t
can neither be wheedled by soft
promises, frightened by threats, nor
alarmed by presages of dire disaster.

When the Rev. DIR. Robert Collyer

Alexandria, Egypt, is in a pitia-
BILE condition of anarchy, and feel

people. Europeans are abandoning
their property, fearing general
massacre, and are seeking safety by
flight. The Khedive has appealed
to the Sultan for troops, his own
army being insubordinate and de-
handing his deposition. The French
and British ambassadors at Alexan-
dria have energetically urged the
Sultan to summon the conference
immediately.

Will They Return to their Vomit}

One of our Buckannon exchanges,
we believe it was, had recently an
article referring to the Pennsboro
resolutions and cooperation between
the Greenbackers and Republicans,
and concluded by saying that the
Democrats who had left the party
and turned Greenbackers would see
that they were to be used merely as
tools for the Republican party, and
advised them to return to the party
they had left.
Let not our Democratic friends
lay this flattering JUNCTION to their
souls, that those who left the old
party with an honest purpose will
ever return to it. The dog, saith the
scriptures, may return to his vomit,
and the SOW that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire, but we know
that the patriot will never return to
those whom he as found out to be
enemies to his own and his cOun-
try's interests, let them be either
Democrats or Republicans.
Nor do we think the course pur-
sued by the Democratic press, or at
least a portion of it, wise from their
own standpoint. Those who have
waited and hoped in vain for the old
party to carry out the measures de-
manded by the Greenbackers, and
despairing of relief from them, have
been SO abused by these papers, and
by their former political associates,
and every feeling Of manhood &c
outraged that so far from going back
to the old party, in case Of a miscaT
riage Of the Greenback party, they
would go over to it's ancient enemy
rather than to them. And we want
our Democratic friends to under
stand that in this section at least
the only Greenbackers we have
found so far, who are willing to CO
operate with the Republicans, are
!, former Democrats and nearly every
man OF them Confederate soldiers
And not only are they willing to co
{ operate with Republicans, but they
f swear that il necessary, they vii
/ join the Republican party to beat
the Democrats. This is very incon
, sistent in our Greenbackers, to be
$ sure ; it is not the result of logic, but
= is the result of the abuse and con

The Democrats were sadly disap-
pointed when they calculated on the
Chinese veto turning the political
tide in their favor along the Pacific
coast. Representative George has
been re elected in Oregon by proba-
bly, $500 majority. The Legislature
is also Republican, which insures the
election of a U. S. Senator in place
of Senator Grover. 1t is estimated
that the Forty Eighth Congress will
be Republican by a majority of
twenty-one. Reapportionment will
give the next House Of Representa-
tives 1926 instead of 293 members.
Missouri, Texas, New York, Penn
sylvania and Virginia may give di-
vided delegations, but the New Eng
land and other States will have Re-
publican gains.

The daily records of crime in this
country are appalling, and they en-
brace every conceivable means of
human destruction-every onward
stage Of human depravity. A most
pitiful scene was that where the wo-
man poisoned her FIVE children,
dressed them in white with flowers
on their breasts and laid them side
by side, ready for interment; took
poison herself, told her husband she
had sent the children ahead to heav-
ell and died soon after. The oldest,
a girl of twelve, left childish note
for schoOlmate and one for her
father, saying that her mother had
been sick long and knowing she
would soon die, persuaded her that
it was better they should all die to-
gether, because after her death they
would be neglected and perhaps i'll
treated by their father.

But little relief has yet reached
Patrick county, Va, where from five
to eight thousand people are actual
ly starving. There is no food in the
county. Corn and meal and -four
cannot be obtained for love or mon
ey. The crops last fall were almost
a complete failure. Not a drop of
rain fell from early in April to Oc-
tober. Almost everything green
was burned up by the hot rays of the
sun and the farmers were able to
save but little from their fields of
wheat. This little lasted them
through the winter, but it has long
since given out. For some time
past the people have been living OH
the scanty supplies forwarded from
Danville and Richmond.
People who have visited the fam
ine.stricken county tell sorrowful
tales of the sight witnessed. Farm
ers along the country roads, suffer
ing for want Of food, will not be able
to harvest their crops unless help
reaches them. Their pinched faces
speak the suffering which they are
forced to endure. Some of them
have not seen loaf Of bread for
many a day. These facts are not
exaggerated in the least. The APP
peals which come up from the fam
ine-stricken regions tel the tale OF
distress. When a wagon Of corn ar
rives at Patrick Court House PEG.
pie cannot wait to be served. They
thrust their hands into the bags and
gnaw at the kernels to alleviate
their hunger. A peck of corn is a
prize which viii bring man nlany
mile. 1t is sorrowful to see chill
dren, with their wan faces, eagerly
grasping a handful of the golden
treasure and carefully guarding
every kernel. They cannot wait for
the corn to be ground. Two OF three
hundred men and women are con.
tinually waiting at Patrick Court
House and praying for suceor.
When provisions arrive and they 60
home to their homes their places are
taken by others. Anything in the
way OF food is acceptable.

1t appears that all is not lovely
among the republicans of the second
Vermont congressional district. Many
of them are exceedingly dissatisfied
with the nomination of Judge Poland,
and as the Newport Express and Stand
ard says, "think the district has made
mistake in not returning to congress
a man who has made better record
for first term than any Vermont rep
resentative for years, and who has that
in him which would, with the same
years of service which has been accord
ed to Judge Poland, develop as sterling
q craftsmanship" If the sterling
craftsmanship" of Judge Poland is the
highest standard by which Vermont re-
publicans gauge their congressman, it
