L was stated some months ago that
quite q number Of the "barons" were
willing to relinquish some of their pro-

The Baltimore Day warns the Repub-
licans that they cannot escape response
bllity for the river and harBor bill, be-
cause some Democrats voted to pass it
over the veto. 1t says truly that all
blame for tie measure the Republican
majority in Congress must bear without
any regard to the veto, for on the ma
jority rests the responsibility for the
shaping of legislation. No one can
wonder at or blame Democrats for get
ting what they could for their own
States and districts when they saw that
the majority was going in for lavish ex-
penditure, and the whole responsibility
for making a necessary bill the agency
for public extravaganza rests on the
party controlling both Houses Of Con-
gress.

It is stated that a large proportion of
Hubbell's corruption fund is already in
Keifer's district, waiting to to be
placed where it will do the most
good in securing the reelection of
that distinguished alleged statesman.
1t is to be hoped that if Keifer's cOnstitu-
ents are ready to sell out to MIN, they
will at least make him pay them round
sum for their votes. 1t would be really
less discreditable to them than if they
inflicted him on the country free gratis
for nothing. Corruption is bad enough,
but to voluntarily vote for Keifer would
indicate nothing short of total depravity.

A fight, conducted in accordance with
regular prize ring rules, took place al
West Point, n. Y, Friday, between
Cadet Frank A. Cook. of Rhode Island,
and Edward n. Scudder, of Mississippi.
After several rounds, Scudder was
knocked senseless, and in that condition
was hauled in a wagon to the hospital.
A rigid investigation of the affair will be
ordered, and it is probable that all
parties engaged in the fight, either as
principals, seconds or referee, will be
dismissed from the institution.

1t has been announced by telegraph
that Mr.. Arthur has decided upon a
strict enforcement of the eight hour law
as that law was construed during the
administration of General Grant. Mem
hers of the Cabinet, however, entertain
different views on this subject. 1t is
stated that the Attorney General, IN q
recent opinion, held that the present law
is imperfect, and that its proper enforce
ment would require additional legisla-
ton. The Secretary of the Navy, on the
other hand, contends that under the ex-
isting law eight hours constitute legal
days work, and he says that the law will

If it be true that Congress has no con-
stitutional power TO make appropriations
for any stream which is not navigable,
and which does not form a factor IN

BETTER THAN POLITICS.


Young men of intelligence and
culture and noble purposes can earn
more money honestly, preserve their
self respect better, build up happier
homes, and do more for the world
out of politics than in it. And the
steady tendency in this country is
to reduce political regulations to
their proper dimensions, aOd in
crease the importance of private en-
terprise. The man who builds up a
great productive industry, giving
EN- pIoyment TO hundreds of people /;
who makes q useful Invention,
which adds to human comfort aud
power; who achieves distinction in
auy of the professions or arts; who
does anything anywhere for the good
of his fellowmen, wins surer and
more satisfying reward than any orr
binary political success can bring.
While every American citizen should
take al active interest 10 politics.
all who have talent and education
and industry and character, and
means to preserve their honesty and
self respect, should shuu politics as a
business

Gen. Robert Tombs has been 10
Washington City for some days past
but on Thursday left for home. In
conversation he spoke very hope
fully of the prospects of the Demo
cratic party. He said the party
was on the high road to success,
but whether the success is to be
achieved or not depends in very
great measure upon the organization
and conduct of the next House. If
such man as Carlisle, of Kentucky
should be chosen Speaker and the
committee organized in the interest
of the people, and not to subserve
special interests, all will be well,
Bat if such a man as Randall should
be again made Speaker, he thinks
there would be another Democratic
failure in 1884. The mission of the
Democratic party is, he says, to
work for the National welfare and
let special interests take care of
themselves.

The coalition regulators of Vir-
GINA have played the same game in
the First district of that State which
the Democrats have tried to play on
Chalmers 10 the Second Mississippi
district, and have taken advantage
Of himsy tecbnicaIity about seal
or something to throw out enough
votes for Mr.. Garrison in Glouceater
county to give his seat to his CoaIi|
ton opponent, Mayo, by one single
vote. 1t is to be hoped the Forty,
eighth Congress will be just, and
while giving Chalmers his seat, to
which he is undoubtedly elected,
also show the regulators that they
cannot deprive Mr.. Garrison of his
seat, to which he has been returned
by his constituents, The trick of
the Mahoneites will give decided
color to the Rev. Mr.. Massey's
charges that he was cheated of bis
election as Congressman at>large by
gross frauds committed by these
blatant pretended friends of 'a free

and effective escape to day. Joe

years, from Catoosa county, for
horse stealing, which was a third of

ried Moore a mile from the mines to
fix a pump that was GU. of order.
While Reno's attention was distract

pistol from his breast and commsn

which be willingly did. Moore then
walked up to hin, cut his pistol belt

10 it, and then ordered Reno to
strip. The men changed clothes,
and the convict left for parts un~
known. Blood hounds were put on
bis track, but they lost all trace of

At last accounts Moore was still
at large. Before leaving Moore told
Reno that he would have killed him

strange. A man named Burk hardt,
held an accident policy in the Tray
elers Accident Insurance Company,
and met his death in this wise: He
was travelling salesman, and was
on his way to Louisville, Ky. The
train was stopped on the railway
bridge across the Ohio by the open
ing of the draw bridge, and Bulk
hardt arose from bis seat, went on
the front platform, stepped off to the
railway track, fell through a bole
caused by the removal of some OF
the planks with a view to repairs,
aud was fatally injured. He thought
the train had arrived at Lou sville

and needless exposure to danger,

GRAVEYARD aHoULs.

Old Mr.. Ivey, uhile on visit to
bis sons grave which is 10 the
cemetery, on the Marietta road, last
Sunday, noticed a neigbboring
grave very much torn up, and also
observed the tracks of horses and
wagon wheels in the vicinity. Go
closer observation be found breast
pin on the turf near the grave,
which be recognized as once belong
ing to old Mrs. Durham, whose NOR
tai remains we're supposed to occu>
by the molested grave He inform
ed Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Golden, two
gentlemen living 10 the neighbor>
hood, of the discovery, and these
gentlemen, with spades and other
digging utensils, went to the Gene
terry to Investigate the matter
About a foot from the surface Of the
ground they found the coffin of the
lady, which contained nothing but
underclothing of the deceased, to-
gether with some little trinkets that
had been buried with her. At a
foot deeper the box that had en-
closed the coffio was found. In Ibis
was the black dress of Mrs. Durham,
and black comb, but the body was
found to have been taken from the
grave. Mrs. Durham was buried
on last Friday week, and in the APP
preheusion that body snalchers
would probably visit the grave yard,
the family and friends had kept
watch at the grave up to Tuesday
night, when they abandoned their
nightly vigils. Persons in close
carriage who have several times
been seen by the denizsns of the
neighborhood, are supposed to have
committed the dissertation.
People out there are very much
incensed over the matter, and the
close carriage gentry would proba-
Bile get into very hot water if caught
by them in the active practice OF
their nefarious trade atlanta Posi-
appeal.
