The recent elections in Ohio and Indiana
to fill vacancies in Congress occasioned by
death since the fall elections, have exhib-
tied remarkable turn in the political tide
in favor Of the Republicans in Ohio. Mr..
Updegraft, decd, Republican, was elected
in October by 700 majority. A few weeks
ago, Mr.. Taylor, the Republican nominee
to succeed him, was elected by nearly 1000
majority, over the same Democratic oppo-
nent who ran against Mr.. Updegraft. In
Indiana, on the 9th, an election was held
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Mr.. Orth, who was elected in November
last by small majority. Maj. G. T. Dor
sy, the Republican nominee, was elected by
large majority, carrying every county in
the district except one. Madison county.
usually Democratic by 900, was carried by
him. The Democrats carried Tippacanoe
by 400 in November. Mr.. Dorsy comes out
900 ahead in that county. 1t is regarded as
Democratic Waterloo. Ex-senator Nc
Donald personally managed the canvass for
the Democrats, which resulted in the Re-
publicans scoring $500 majority.

1t is stated that in Richmond, during this
severe weather the carriages of the rich are
seen Fastening from place to place, where
live the poor and unfortunate, bearing medi-
cines and food and raiment for them. 1t is
done too without solicitation or hope OF
general commentator" This is the spirit
which should pervade and animate every
community. There need be very little suffer-
ing from poverty, if those who haye been
blessed with an abundance of this worlds
goods, properly appreciate the responsibility
that rests upon them and do not want to
convert riches into curse. Riches impose
responsibility les, and none more pressing
and exacting than to administer to the
wants of those who are among us in
poverty and want. Selfish indulgence of
wealth is one of the moral evils of the day
the index to perverted view of life, an
expression of a narrow heart that is moved
by none of the emotions viii ch bring con-
tentment and happiness in life and ease
the pangs of death.

Over production of certain lines Of cot.
ton goods and the competition Of the new
Southern mills, are in part the reasons as
signed for the stoppage OF considerable
number of wooden and cotton mills in Phil
adelphia. Ten years hence the cotton and
wooden factories and iron furnaces of the
South will have caused much larger num-
Der of industries in the North to suspend.
Capital is seeking location where the raw
materials are to be had, so that the output
of such industries may be the more profita-
BILE and the money invested yield the great
er reward. Virginia is destined to become
the theatre of extensive iron works, and
the Cotton States the field Of cotton man.
ufactures. The drift is all in that direction,
as evidenced by every day facts.
By an agreement arrived at between the
Board of Supervisors of Botetourt county,
Va, and the Richmond and Allegheny
Railroad Company, the board agrees to re-
lease unto the company its taxes for the
years 1881, 1882, 1883 and 1884, in consid.
GRAFTON of which the company binds itself
to build two iron suspension bridges over
James River. one at Jackson and the other
at Eagle Rock, below the mouth of Craig's
creek, at the completion of which, not later
than eighteen months, the bridge at Buch-
anan, now toll bridge, is like the other
two, to be free to everybody. The company
likewise binds itself to keep these two
bridges in repair and to restore them in
case they are destroyed. The bridges will
cost about $4,000.

The Democratic press of Virginia says the
party it represents accepts the settlement
of the debt, the removal of the capital ion
restriction on the ballot and the abolition
of the whipping post. This is very well.
But having opposed each of these meas
ures, it has the etfrontery to ask public con-
fidence because of this acquiescence in the
inevitable, as ordered by the people. The
Bourbons of Virginia profess to be very
liberal after they have been whipped into
it, and with characteristic impudence seek
to be rewarded for antagonizing that
which the people have decreed in spite of
their stubborn and selfish opposition. 1t is
not consistency to place in The hands of its
enemies the administration of laws so
closely affecting popular rights and inter-
ests, and in Virginia there W i'll not be an ex-
ception.

of the large six story hotel structure was filled
with struggling guests, frantically and pit
eously beseeching the few below for aid, which
was impossible to render. But few OF the I'M
fortunate inmates gained the front entrance
on Michigan street, although many might have
been saved if some immediate attempts at a
systematic rescue had been made. The halls
OF the hotel were the scene of the widest con-
fusion. Men, women, and children rushed up
and down the halls in the dense, suffocating
smoke, avoiding the binding flames and roar
ing blaze, and in their frantic efforts rushing
by the stairways and windows leading to the
fire escape; stumbling over bodies lying I'M
conscious on the carpeted walks, only to Join
soon the many Frustrated forms whom a kind
fate had touched with the dark wing of that
messenger of death, Inconsistencies.
The fire started apparently on the third floor
of the doomed building, over the side entrance
on Michigan strickland before the Department
got the steamers fairly in position the flames
had envelopeG the whole southwest corner OF
the building, the fiery element licking its wav
greedily and with lightning rapidity toward
the northern wing. Some laundering indi-
vidual, seeing the rejecting of the holocaust
on the sky, turned in an alarm from Box 81
corner OF East Water and Division streets at
$40 a. in causing the loss of the work of one
steamer for ten minutes of precious time lust
when the fire was at its worst, and every win
cow in the huge building lined with sLrieking
humanity. The multitude, which by this time
had swelled to thousands, stood in perfect awe.
but few having self-possession and resolution
enough to lend helping hand on the canvases
stretched out to receive those of the despaIring
inmates of the burning pyre who risked the
leap down to the stone sidewalk, one hundred
feet below. At first there were only Lieutenant
lockwood, Detectives Reem and McManus.
Officers O'Brien and Campbell, and lew Sen,

required fully thirty strong men to handle sue
cessfuily. A poor fellow stood on the coruice
of the fifth story corner window for twenty
long minutes, not daring the fearful leap. Fl
nally he became bewildered, to judge by his
actions, or dumbfounded by the smoke and
slid of his perch to the canvas below. The
few that heidlt could not give it the necessary
resistance. The body fell, unhindered by the
canvas, with a crash which sent shudder
through every witness. The shattered BODY
was carried into the American Express office.
All the while hundreds OF people had been
looking on, nobody responding to the demands
of the officers for aid. Everybody seemed to
