The war cloud in>the East seems to be grow
ing larger than mans hand. A conflict OF
arms between England and Egypt is not i'm
probable in the near future. Already England
has formidable fleet in the Egyptian waters
numbering some 10000 men and $50 guns
Other forces are being hurried forward, and
active operations are going on in the English
dock yards. The tone of the English press in-
dicates that in case the conference at Constan-
tlnople avails no useful resultant it promi-
SEES but poorly-England proposes to act with
promptitude. 1t is desired that France shall
cooperate, but if she is not ready, England
seems disposed to act alone. ss4 80.

Our Democratic friends are In terribly
demOralized condition. What they most
lack is a leader. OF all the ''best people"
who constitute that faction as they claim,
not one has shown the qualities of a leader.
As to principle, they profess none, but they
are sOrely disturbed about a man capable
Of giving organization and force to the in
cOngruous elements which constitute the
organization. The following paragraph
taken from the Richmond correspondent of
the Petersburg appeal, will, therefore, be
understood and appreciated:
The rumor mentioned in This column as
to the object OF Gen. Bradley Johnson's
visit to this city on yesterday, develops into
the better defined lineaments of plausible
ity to-day, and may be sketched as follows,
all knowing what a rumOr is Gen. john
son sees that the Democrats are without a
leader, that to accomplish aught something
must be done and done at once. Hence he
comes by the fast mail, and not without
hope that out of chaos and confusion he
or some one else may bring order and peace
and eventually victory.

The Washington correspondent Of the Al
exandria Gazette of the Goth avs:
Prominent democrats from Virginia here to-
day bring new idea, to the effect that while
Mr. Massey seems personally Objectionable to
some Of the leading democrats of the State,
outside of the 7th Congressional district, and
Mr. Newberry is not Objectionable to them,
and that 10 crafty them Mr.. Newberry should
be supported by the democrats as The opponent
ofMr. Wise, and that Mr., Massey Oppose Mr.
Paul in the 7th district. They say that the
late discussion between Messrs Newberry and
Wise shows that of all men the latter is the
one the democrats should pit against the for

The demagogues in Congress who are clam
oring about reduction of the tax on cigars
and cigarettes, know that whatever the final
action on the subject. the consumer will not
be benefited. 1t is scheme of the manufac-
turers to put the difference between SO and
a 81 tax on 1000 cigars and $1.75 and rs cents
tax on 900 cigarettes in their own pockets
and not to reduce the price the consumer has
to pay. The attempt is being made to delude
the people into the belief that such reduction
would be for their relief There was never a
more transparent deception. Tobacco in all
it's shapes and liquors of all kinds should be
the last to be relieved of the internal revenue
tax. Neither the production nor consumption
IS guaged by the tax. They will be used just
as freely with one rate of taxation as another
and the only effect OF reduction would be tC
augment the profits Of the manufacturer q,
the expense of the people.

Our Bourbon friends are in a distressing
quandary. One-half of their papers favor
an unconditional endorsement of Mr.. Mas
sey for ongressman-at-large and the other
half demand Convention to pass upon the
expediency Of such course. They have
gone so far, however, in the matter, that al
most every prominent man in that organi-
cation and almost every journal that sup
ports it, have substantially committed
themselves to the policy of forming a coali-
ton to defeat the Readjusters. They confess
to an absence of all principle in the con-
test, and are willing to adopt any means
and form any alliance which will give hope
of success and reinstate them in power. This
is the party which has BEEN denouncing
Republicans for aiding the Readiusters in
Il contest which is based upon Republican
policy, and proclaiming to the country that
they were the only guardians of Virginia
honor and the reflection of all political con-.
sistency. 1t is matter of Indifference as
to what policy they adopt-whether they
accept Mr.. Massey as their standard bearer,
or formally nominate sinon-pure Bour-
bon, welded to all the fqllacies and fool
ishness which have distinguished them for
the past fifteen years, the result will be the
samoan overwhelming defeat. They are
simply reaping the reward Of their pervers-
ty and infidelity to public pledges. We
|. warned them years ago that their practical
nullificatiOn of the constitutional amend
ments which they were pledged to enforce
in spirit and letter, would finally result in
severe judgment against them-that the
whipping-post law and the capitation-tax
RESTRICTION ON the ballot, would work out
disasters for them, and produce results the
reverse of those it was fondly hoped would
be accomplished by the imposition of these
unjust laws. They, however, did not be-
lieve in hereafter-were Indifferent to the
forces at work, and their. infidelity to
plighted faith. They persisted in their un-
justiflabe partizan legislation, Conforming
all warnings, steeled against all appeals.
until the power they had oppressed and
wronged, asserted itself in their overthrow
and the Inauguration OF policy more in
consonance with the Constitution and laws
of the country and the enlightened senti-
ment of the age. Revolutions never go
backwards, and that consummated in Vir-
ginia will prove no exception to the rule.

tions to government, nor Indifferent as TO
the influences which effected these reforms.
They stand out too prominently to admit
OF denial and appeal too forcibly to the
reason and the conscience to allow OF dis
pute.
The question now is whether the Repub-
licans will have the reforms which have
been secured perpetuated and the es-
sential one of the repeal OF the con-
stitutional provision restricting the ballot
by the capitation tau, consummated by pop
ular vote in November next, or have the
whole legislative history of the State for the
past two years reversed, and Bourbonlsm
| installed in power, with its hates and pro-
scriptions to poison the fountain sources OF
government and turn back the tide of pros
| perity which has set in. 1t will not be
Wise or Massey, simply as men, but as they
| represent the influences OF each OF the
columns they will lead and the ends to be
su bserved The saccess Of Mr.. Massey or
any one whom the Bourbons may put for
ward. will have meaning which IL is not
difficult to explain, taken the past as the
criterion by which to judge, and which it
will be prudent for Republicans to consid'
err. 1t will be a return to Bourbon meth
DDS in the State government, for defeat this
fall for the Liberals will be followed by a
like result next fall, when a Legislature
will be elected, to be succeeded by similar
result in 1884, when the Pres idential con-
test is to be decided. The result in No
vember next may be far reaching in its in
huence upon party ascendancy in the
State, and determine the political complex
ion of the next national administration. Ii
is subject fraught with the gravest pos
sibllites and should command the serious
consideration of every one who will share
in the responsibility through the ballot he
may cast. whether the result shall be favor
able or unfayOrable.' '''

THE HOLIDAYS IN MORRLSTIO WN.
At a seasonable hour on the night
of the oath, large and representa-
tive audience, comprising the rich
and the poor, the old and the young
of Morristown, gathered at the Me-
thodist Church to enjoy the pleasure
of witnessing the distribution of the
Christmas tree presents. After SER
vices appropriate to the occasion, a
brief but felicitous address was de-
iivered by r. A. Lowry, Esq, ex-
planning the origin of Christmas fes-
tivities. The tree was a mammoth
cedar, brilliantly illuminated with
wax tapers, and most deliberately
and artistically covered with all sorts
of presents for young and old. sAs
each child's name was called out to
receive the present awarded, a bright
smile was noticeable upon its face.
Every child in the house, we be-
lieve, was the recipient of gift OF
more or less value. Many of the
grown persons were made happy by
appropriate tokens of respect and
esteem, while others were the recip-
tents of ludicrous ones which more
than once corvulsed the audience
to hilarity more audible than a
smile.
During the week, delightful par
ties were given the young people of
our town at the residences of Col.
o. c. King, Maj. w. D. Cannon,
and Capt. W. j. Taylor. The lit
tie folks turned out en- paasse ON
each occasion, and engaged in many
innocent and mirth provokingsports
all passing a most merry time.
Elegant edibles were provided at
the respective places, which, it is
needless to say, were heartily en-
joyed.
An oyster supper was spread by
the Good Temp airs Tuesday night,
at the Tate House, which was large
ly attended and highly enjoyed by
a goodly number of citizens of town
and vicinity zach and all were well
pleased with the entertainment and
expressed themselves as being more
than repaid for the trouble of their
presence on the occasion. We are
glad to hear that the profits result
ing from the supper PANIED out in
a satisfactory manner.

His practice is not only large in

chronic diseases without having the
