1T Is stated from Washington
that steps will soon be taken to put
General LOGAN on the track for
President. The Generals sspira-
tons are not of recent date, and
the canvass to be made in his behalf
will be in earnest.
1t is said that in the West the
woods are full of supporters OF Lo-
GAN. Furthermore, it is said that
the mantle Of General GRAFT will
fall to him, il be is not already in
possession of that garment. 1t is
rather singular that at the same time
he should feel confident OF support
from the opponents of GRANT in
1880. Such, however, is the fact.
These two extremes nnited-il they
do unite--are expected to give him
start which no one else will have,
LoeAE's friends refer to the re-
cent bulletins from the White House
IN order to show how few of his
friends ARTHUR has honored with a
recognition of their flelity. But
the TACT is that General LOGAN has
not much to complain Of in
the way of neglect at the
White House. Few Senators have
had their acquisitions honored TIC an
al equal extent.

Commenting on John Roach's state
ment that 1--WE are all prosperous under
the present tariff" the New York Herald
says:
"Who are 'weT The American ship
owner is certainly not prosperous,
for in the foreign carrying trade
the name of an American firm is
almost unknown. The American
mechanic is assuredly not prosperous,
for 1t is only a few months since Mr..
Roach's own wOrkingmen were on a
strike for higher wages, begging to be
protected, not against the 'pauper labor,
but against Mr.. Roach, the protection

policy has resulted in this-we have
no ships; We have half-starved mechanics

The poverty of our commercial marine
is indicated by the fact that, of the
thirty six lines of New York steamers
connecting with Europe, every one con-
sists of vessels built and owned outside
OF this country, and more than half the
vessels belonging to the ''only American
line, of which the Philadelphians are
so proud, are chartered British steamers.

Let the First District Dem Ocracy
Organize.


The Republican Waterloo in Ohio,
the revolts in New York and Pennsylva-
MIA and the discomfort with the methods
of the Radical bosses in other States,
make it extremely probable that the Re-
publican majority in the last will be con
verted into minority in the next House.
Indeed, to secure a majority in the
Lower House of the Forty-eighth Con-
gress at all, the Radical leaders
must endeavor to capture q
number Of Southern districts. All hope
Of holding their own in the North has
been abandoned, and they must turn
Southwark This is their announced
intention. and it therefore becomes the
duty of every Southern Democrat to
assume that the Republicans will do
their best 10 secure recruits from this
section, and work resolutely to defeat
their plans.
As Hubbell truly remarked, eve are
on the skirmish line of "a, and we are
in the dark as to the aspects of the great
struggle to be fought two years hence.
While the Republican party has been
famed for the harmony and unanimity
that have characterized it in Presidential
years, there are not wanting signs
to show that it is among
the possibilities that the next House
may have much 10 do with deciding the
successor to the Presidency. The con-
troll of that House is prize to be valued,
and though some Republican organs
affect to pretend that the Republicans
are not greatly concerned about it the
leaders of that party are alive to the
importance of securing it.
Despite the crushing defeat of Gartrell
and the coalition in Georgia, Hubbell,
Henderson & Co. doubtless think sundry
districts in this State not unpromising
fields for the investment of some of the
swag they have extracted from unwilling
Oficeholders, and 1t is pretty well
conceded that the First Georgia
district has been settled upon
as one to be contested for
The Democracy may as well wake up to
the importance of seeing to it that the
corruption fund investors be baked.
Hon. John c. Nichols is the representa-
tive of the Democracy, the wealth and
welfare of the district. He can and
must be elected. His opponent, Mr..
Atkins, represents nothing except Radi-
calism, and, if elected, would be merely
a disciplined recruit in the ranks of the
Radical party, and subject to the will of
the Radical leaders. He can only be
elected by the use of corruption funds.
If he wishes further political en-
ployment he has the avenue open to
it, but he is not qualified to speak for the
people of this district in Congress.
To the end that Mr.. Atkins be practi
cally convinced of this fact, the Democ
racy of the district should get down at
once to hard work. Let them organize
in every precinct in the district and poll
full vote. If this is done Atkins will
be literally showed under by ballots,
and Hon. John G. Nichols will be
backed by credentials such as no Repub
lican majority, however large, can set
aside. Organization buried Gartrell,
and organization will likewise speedily
inter Mr. Atkina

In his letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for Governor of New York,
Hon. Grover Cleveland gives some very
sensible advice to public servants which
might generslfy be needed with profit.
He says: 81 am convinced that the per-
plexities and the mystery often sur
rounding the administration of State
concerns grow in a great measure out of
an attempt to serve partisan ends rather
than the welfare of the citizens. We
may, think, reduce to quite simple ele-
ments the duty which public servants
owe, by constantly bearing in mind that
they are put in place to protect the
rights of the people, to answer their
needs as they arise, and to expend for
their benefit the money drawn from
them by taxation" If Mr. Cleveland
carries out these principles in his admin
istratlon, he will commend himself so
highly TO the people of the country that
they may take him up and make him
President of the United States in 1884.

The Ohio Victory.


That the victory of the Democracy Of
Ohio on Tuesday last was complete and
crushing is an established fact. That it
will encourage and spur up to renewed
exertions the party throughout the Union,
and demoralize and dispirit its oppo-
nents, there can be no doubt. That 1t
will tend to give the Democrats a good
working majority in the Lower House
of the Forty eighth Congress is more
than probable 1t was truly a sweeping
victory, and the National Democracy
everywhere are naturally jubilant over
the triumph of their brethren of the
Buckeye State.
The Democracy of other States in
which elections are yet to be held, how
ever, should not permit their enthusiasm
to run away with their discretion. Even
in the flush of victory they should pause
aud take counsel for the future success
of their party.
In the first place sweeping victory,
such as this in Ohio, is oft entimes a
dangerous thing. 1t is apt to excite
over confidence, and over confidence is
invariably a sure forerunner of defeat
1t tends to create the impression that
future victories are foregone conclusions,
and therefore to excite supineness
and apathy. Democrats everywhere
should be very careful to guard
against so dangerous an error. The Re-
publicans, while dlspirited, have not by
any means given up the fight, especially
in such important States as Pennsylvania
aud New York, and it behooves the De-
mocracy to work energehcally and zeal
ously until the very last day of the cam
paign, and. indeed, long after. 1t will
require eternal vigilance yet to prevent
the advantages gained last Tuesday in
Ohio from beng lost.
There is still another fact which is ne
cessary should be borne constantly in
mind by the Democracy, and that is that
this is what is known as an "Otf-year.
Whenever control of the Federal admin
istration is not at stake, the Republicans
feel more or less listlessness over the re-
suit, and do not put forth their most
strenuous exertions, and unless they do
they are always beaten, for there is no
doubt the masses are in their hearts
Democratic. This year the Republicans
feel that, as they have control of the
Executive and the Higher House of Con-
gress, the loss of the Lower House will
not be very serious, so they prefer to
save their energies and their money for
the great fight to come off two years
hence. 1t has not infrequently hap
pened heretofore that Democrats have
carried Ohio and other States in ''off
years, but in decisive contests have been
beaten.
1t is of the greatest importance, then,
that the National Democracy should
remain strictly on guard, and permit no
relaxation of effort to secure final and
complete triumph in November. Their
enemy is bold and reckless, as well as
sanguine and cunning, and the battle
which was originated so auspiciously in
Ohio on Tuesday has but just begun. 1t
will not end until the polls close on the
day of the Presidential election in No
vember, 1884.

David Davis has reached the climax
of his ambition at last. They say that
when the President was off on his recent
fishing excursion, he was actually taken
beyond the line dividing the United
States from Canada, and therefore, as he
was out of the country, David Davis
succeeded to his position during his alb
sence. Thus the pondereus Illinoisan
can tell his posterity that he was Presi-
dent of the United States for fully an
hour OF so.

We have received a circular from the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad announcing the completion of
its new line between Chattanooga, Dial
ton, Rome, Atlanta, Macon, etc. 1t has
been generally supposed that Brunswick
would be the nearest Atlantic seaport
reached by this line. This, however, is
a mistake. The distance from Chatta-
nooga to Brunswick is 432 miles, while
from Chattanooga to Savannah, via the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
with which this line connects at Jesup)
the distance is only 400 miles. Thus
this city has the advantage Of twelve
miles in distance over our sister seaport.
