A (JOhu) Bull Market.

If there be one thing more than
another to rouse this country to max
ing another and vaster tidal wave for
the Democracy, it is the published
opinion of the London Telegraph that
Englishnen can hardly be expected
to contemplate with eJuanimity the
seeming probability that the ne st Presi-
dent of the United States will be a
Democrat"
Well, for sublime, unadu' terated,
monumental ellrontery, this is the
event of the season. The fact is. this
country does not want the monarchical
and Imperial Government of England
to contemplate a Democratic triumph
with equanimity." Nor does the
overwhelming mass of American citi-
zenship care penny whether a Euro
pean monarchy contemplates Demo-
cratic President with or without
"equanimity The victory of Repub-
licanism, as illustrated by Arthur and
his clans, means centralization of

triumph of the Democracy in 1884
means a return to the principles of
jefferson and jackson, and we never
knew an Englishman devoted to i'm
perialism who ever contemplated those
great men with the least "equanim-
ity." The opinion of the Telegraph is
thankfully received. 1t is a good cam

"A Cincinnati citizen who saw a
drunken man fire pistol in the street,
gave forth as the result of his lifelong
observation and experience the follow

be cut out and pasted up somewhere:
ITO shoot a revolver in the streets
when they are crowded may sometimes
be necessary, but when the shots are
not necessary they should not be fired -
And then the Cincinnati man went to
bed feeling that he could no longer be
held responsible for any evil conse-
quenses of disregarding these remarks.

STATE NEWS ITEMS.

A SHORT time ago Mr.. John Rodgers, In
the eastern portion of Delaware County,
and an extensive stock droyer for good
many years, failed for several thousand
dollars. He at once left the county for
parts unknown. The Citizens Bank as
Sunbury, and other creditors, made q
levy on all the property. The property
failed to pay his debts by one-half or more.
His securities in bank and on notes have
been called upon to make good the de-
ficiency. The question of forgery was
raised. One of the creditors, Mr.. Milton
Hailett, swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Rodgers. After much work he was found
in the little town of Kalida, in Putnam
County, and was arrested and brought to
Delaware. He failed to get security, and
was placed in jail

There are signs Of trouble in the Bourbon
camp. The tariff, the national banks and
the railroads, are to be forced upon that
faction, and the line dra~n between the
friends and opponents Of free trade, the la
tional banking system, and State regulation
OF the ra ilroads. The Culpeper Exponent,
an ably edited paper, is for the old Demo-
cratic notion Of these questions. It is OPP
posed to the present tariff laws, national
banks, and in favor Of the Georgia railroad
law. The Dispatch plainly declares in ia
vor OF the national banks.a protective tariff
the old Wing view of the questions. The
railroad question is not so definitely stated

paper assumes that the large cities are In

Democrats to make it an issue, would be to
give the Republ leans the vote of the cities.

SECRETARY CHANDLER AND Gov. CAME
RoN.-The sensational statement of an inter
view between Gov. Cameron, OF Virginia, and
Secretary Of the Navy Chandler, which was
telegraphed to the Boston Herald and the
Richmod Dispatch, has the pollen knocked out
of it by the following paragraph furnished by
the Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun. The Richmond Wing had, by au-
thority, denied its correctness, and this state
ment gives emphasis to that denial.
Secretary Chambers attention was called
to-day to the account of the recent interview
between him and Gov. Cameron, of Virginia.
when he said: "Fhat statement is entirely
incorrect. never saw Mr.. Cameron but once
in my life, and then it was he came here. ac-
companied by Mr.. Rlddleberger. Mr.. Malone
was not with them. We had short CONVEX
sation, lasting about five minutes. He did not
even sit down. 1t was nothing more than a
friendly visit. Political matters were not even
mentioned, if remember correctly. We ex
changed the usual courtesies, and thanked
him for the many ciyilities extended to the
New Hampshire excursionists during their re-
cent visit to Richmond. The statement that
promised he should have the control of the,
Navy Department patronage is utterly redicu-
lous. AS said before, politics were not con-
sidered" 'D1,ss
When asked If Mr. Dezendorf the Republi
can Representative Of the Norfolk district.was
to be ignored entirely in the distribution ~
patronage, he said: II do not know that Mr..
Dezendorf is to be ignored. As far as know
nothing of that character has been determined
upon" iN i.lA ti.i .4 rFtEI

Senator MahOne's vote on the question OF
the repeal of section 1918 of the revised
statutes, is very well understood by fair
minded men. The removal of the disabili-
ties of DR.. Tebbs was not involved in it,
except in general way. So far as his case
was concerned, there was not the least OBJ
lection from any source. But the PROPOSE
ton torepeal the statute, of wide applica-
ton and significant interest. without re-
ferring it to the Judiciary Committee for
proper consideration, was an entirely diff
erent matter from the disabilities of sin
gle individual. 1t will not be three months
before those who are trying to make some
partizan capital out of the vote in question
are heartily disguised with themselves
They seem to think that the people are all
fools and incapable of understanding a
proposition so plain that he who runs may
read.

The Geneva Award B i'll having passed
both houses of Congress, it will receive the
signature of the President and become a
law. 1t provides for the distribution of the
balance Of the Geneva award among those
claimants who suffered by the depredations
of cruisers that were exculpated by the &C.
neva tribunal. If there should be any
money left when these are paid, the remain
der is to be distributed, pro rata, among
the men who paid war premiums for insur-
ance during the rebellion. The remarkable
feature of this business is that Congress, by
the passage of the bill, has refused 20 pay
one of the classes of claims that were al,
lowed by the Court of Arb tration, and has
voted to pay two classes of claims that
were disallowed by that tribunal. Unfor-
tunately, this decision is not final, except
as to the particular sum of money on hand.
AS Mr.. Bayard warned the Senate last
week, the claims of the insurance companies
against the United States Government are
likely to cause much trouble hereafter. A
final settlement could only have been
reached by sending the whole case to the
Court of Claims for adjudication.

A MERITED COMMUNICATING Nashville
Daily Christian Aduocate, the organ of the
General Conference, in concluding sketch of
the life and labors of Rev. Rumsey Smithspn,
pastor of the Staunton church says:
Brother Smithson is modest and retiring,
yet he has large heart, which beats warmly
toward his brethren. AS strong defender of
our peculiar tenets, he stands pre-eminent.-
When the church is assailed, his mildness un-
dergoes strange transformation, and ill fares
the man whose temerity tempts his well tried
blade. As preacher, he is deliberate till
warmed with his theme, when the whole man
glows with holy fervor And as administra-
tor, he is judicious, as pastor, laberious and
faithful, as Christian gentleman. genial and

DR.. A. Sidney Tebbs appears in a new role,
which will be calculated to disturb the sereni-
ty of his Bourbon friends who have made so
much fuss about his petition to have his polit-
ical disabilities removed. He is an applicant
for the position of contract surgeon in the
United States Marine Hospital at Pensacola,
position where his political disabilities
would not operate against him. He applied
to Gen. Malone for his endorsement and re-
commentator, which was cheerfully given.
1t had received that of Senator Johnston,
also. Tebbs stated that he understood Gen.
Mahone's position exactly, and did not think
unkindly of him for the courseshe had pur-
sued. He recognized the situation, for he
was, as he said, something of politician
himself. Yet this, after all the Juror kicked

The managers of the primary were in
great glee at the close of the polls on
Tuesday last, when large vote was re-
corded, the result of the most unseemly
hauling, pulling and bull-dozing. They
boosted that the opponents of the primary
had been buried beyond resurrection. The
election on Thursday developed that the
very worthy gentleman whose nomination
occasioned so much rejoicing was rejected
by the popular vote-although many voted
the ticket fixed up for them, while con-
demning the methods by which it was
brought out. 1t will be long time before
we hear OF primary again in Staunton.

The result of the primary in Staunton,
so far as the projectors of the movement
are concerned, was the defeat for the
Council of one of the most useful and pop
ular members of that body, Maj. Elder,
in the first ward, who failed to receive a
nomination, and the defeat of Col. Bum
gardner at the election, who was nomi-
mated in the second ward. All the old
members of the Council, except two, who
were originally opposed to the primary,
were elected, and the only one who was
nominated as the special representative of
the primary was defeated. There is les
son in this that would ordinarily be profit
ably appropriated.

Northern India is looming up.as competitor
of Russia and the United States in the wheat
trade of Europe. Last year $35, 100000 worth
of wheat was exported from that country, and
during last month So 100000 worth was sent
to Europe from India, by way OF the Suez Ca
nal. The cheap labor of India will enable
that country to become a successful competi-
tor of the United States in the wheat trade of
Europe. With good crop in India, Russia
and Europe and an abundant crop in the United
States, as is now promised, it would have
depressing effect upon the price OF Ameri-
can wheat. We have heretofore referred to
the wheat production of India and the advan-
tages of the Suez Canal for its cheap and rapid
transfer to the European market. 1t is mat
ter that deserves attention, for it looks very
much like the supplies of wheat the United
States haye been sending across the ocean,
will be greatly diminished in the future by
the opening OF India wheat fields to the mar
ket of Europe. The indications point to much
lower prices for wheat this year than ruled for
