GENERAL NOTES.

The Winchester (Ill.) Jail cost $4,000
with all modern improvements. Three
prisoners escaped from it within twenty
four hours after its dedication.
Arthur Sullivan who wrote it, Antoin-
cite Sterling who sings it, and the firm
who published it are said to have divided
100000 equally on ''The Lost Chord
His old judicial habit is still strong
upon David Davis. ''This bill is indefi-
nitely postponed. Call the next case.' he
said promptly on the first day of the pres
ent session as presiding officer of the
Senate.
The new pension office will be one of the
most splendid buildings in Washington,
with frontage of 400 and depth of 200
feet, the height of the main cOrnice being
10 feet. 1t will have 10000 square feet
of flooring and space for 1,5OO clerks.
Congress enacted that the cost was not to
exceed 100000.
In 1881 1860 persons were killed by
snakes in India, and 2,757 by wild ami
mails; 1860 head OF cattle were destroyed
by snakes and wild animals during the
same year: 254. sos snakes and 1924 wild
animals were destroyed, and l02, $40 ru-
pees were paid by Government in rewards
for their destruction.
A daughter of the illustriOus house of
SObieski was recently married in Switzer-
land to common mechanic. She is the
granddaughter of that Count Jacob SObi-
eski who fifty years ago was eXiled from
Poland, and whose son accepted the fallen
fortunes of the family by taking for his
wife a girl of the Swiss peasantry.
Thomas Alexander Heyes Robinson, of
Orrel Mount, Wigan, an English gentle
man of wealth, enjoying an annual in
come of S30, 900, was recently sentenced at
the Liverpool assizes to five years penal
servitude for shooting at police cOnSta-
BILE, with intent to murder him. The off
Ger was attempting to arrest the prisoner
under a warrant.
During the week ending October there
were $50 admissions Of typhoid patients
into the Paris hospitals. The number at
present under treatment is estimated at
5000. The cause is attributed to cesspoOls
beneath the houses. Flats in fashionable
quarters and renting at from $1,000 to
s., 800 are inferior in sanitary appliances
to the cottages of English wOrkingmen.
4 party of half-intoxicated men discuss
ed the Frayne tragedy in hotel in Detroit,
Mich. on Sunday morning, and one as
serted that he could make the shot Frayne
failed in. Another thereupon offered to
stand up and let him put a ball through
his hat. The same result as in the Frayne
case followed. except that the Detroit man
was not killed, but seriously, perhaps dam
gerOusly, wounded in the head.
The work of the French Postal Service
has been augmented in striking degree
during the last four years. The following
figures are taken from the last returns:
The total transmissiOns increased from
$50. 0OO, 900 in 1877 to 1850. 900. 600 in 1881:
letters went from 374, 900, 600 to j63, 000, 900,
and newspapers from 219,000,000 to 354,-
1000. Post cards, however, are becOm-
ing less popular in France. There are
now 6. 4S7 post offices open.

A Dangerous DeIusiOn.

No intelligent Republican expects his
party to elect the next President, but as
that party has seated one defeated candi-
date, good many of its leading politicians
have come to believe that a decision
against their side, through the ballot box,
need not necessarily be accepted as a
finally. This is a dangerous delusiOn and
If should be abandoned at once.

Not a Good Doctor.

President Arthur seems to fully under
stand the ills that affiict the Republican
party, but he is signally derelict in pre-
scribing for their cure. A good diagnosis
is a thing to be appreciated, but the physi-
clan who can only tell the disease and
doesn't know the remedy will hardly dc
the patient any good.

Senator Hale's substitute is intended to

John TAYLOR, in the New York ECeRiRq
Post. saws the .'war of rates" in the North
west comes not by the visitation of God,
but bv the willful act of man, and that
among frst-class business men of expe-
rieHee there is but one opinion on the
subject: that this cutting of rates is a
trick. a deliberately devised plan for break
ing down the markets, and that it viii be
continued Just so long as it may suit the
purpose of those who are in the plot. He
thinks it strange that the evil is spoken of
as something that cannot be helped, and
adds that if such an impression prevailed
in England the press would make it too
hot for any management TO resist, how
ever maay shares they might hold.
We think this decided English view of
the matter, not that the parties are too good
90 form such deliberate plan, but their
jealousy and hatred of each other, grow
ing out Of their eupidity, are amply sufh-
cient 10 goad them on 20 such a war in
utter indifference to the markets.

Pardon of Captain Edward S.


BY far the most important of our dis
patches from the State capital to-day is
that relating to the pardon by Governor
stephens, yesterday, of Captain Edward 5.
Cox. the noted SLAYER of Colonel Robert
4. Aston in the State Treasurer's office,
in the city Of Atlanta, on the 18th of
March, 1879.
Many of our readers, no doubt, will re-
member the tragic event, the great eX-
citement it produced among the numerous
friends of both parties, and the endless
comment upon the subject by press and
people throughout the State. The two
had been bosom friends, belonged to the
same church, and were thought to be in
SepaFable; and yet in an evil hour mat
ter of business created a misunderstand-
ing, GOODNESS followed, with harsh inter-
views, and finally desperate encounter,
terminating in the death of Aston.
Cox delivered himself up to the hands of
Justice, was duly tried, convicted of man.
slaughter on the eth of May, and SEN
fenced for life to the penitentiary. The
petition upon which he has now been par
doned was founded upon grave doubts
which existed in the minds of eminent
lawyers and jurists as to the grade of his
offense; and the same doubt arising in
the mind of Governor Stephens upon ex.
animation of the case, he has satisfied
growing public demand for the restora-
ton of Captain Cox to liberty.

ReDubIican Repentance.

Whether they are sincere or not, there
is every indication that the Republicans
have changed front since their late disas-
ter, and fallen back on their old precedent
of a few years ago, when defeated between
two Presidential elections. ''TOning
down. suddenly, they went to work with
a vim to disarm their opponents before
the next Presidential contest. The signs
now are that they will make use of the
short session of Congress remaining to
them for granting such concessions on
leading measures as their party interests
seem to demand under the popular pres
sure, and thus leave the Democrats as
barren victory as possible. The Presi-
dents message. mild, conservative and
sensible without strength or enterprise,
fOreshadOwed such policy and paved the
way for the Republican Congress to let it
self down easy on the Democratic plat
form.
Ii is singular that their defeats come
midway between Presidential elections,
thus enabling them to use all the re-
sources of the government to recuperate
their strength before those decisive cam
paigns open. But we have reason to be-
lieve that late repentance will not save
them this time. as in a former instance, be-
cause it not only proved to be insincere
but of very short duration. The eclat with
which they went back into power under
Garfield intensified their aggressive and
Iawless propensities under Arthur, and,
until Unexpectedly overwhelmed with de-
feat i'm the late elections, they manifested
not the slightest inclination to obey the
demand of the people for reform, Their
professions are insincere. What they
do for the people will be done under
the pressure of necessity, in the hope of
gaining time and acquiring another lease
Of power.
If they succeed and the country is so
unfortunate as to have another Republi-
can President inflicted upon it, we will
soon see their transgressiOns resume their
old complexion of fragrant and unscrupu-
lous disregard of the prosperity of the
country and the rights of the people.
