The Nashville American is not pleased with
the political prospects in Mississippi. Tho
bourbons in that state or some Of the Joey
BIS of that party, being "deviiish sly" be-
thought them of an alliance with the re-
publicans, and started their programme with
very liberal promises and concessions. When,
however, joint meeting was held the coll
ored portion of the republicans found that
the concessions were a mysterious and un-
fndable quantity. The american, in review
ing the situation, says there is growing
likelihood of fusion of the negro element
with the greenback faction and independ-
ents. ave want q share of the Offices" say
the negroes. "You can't have them," reply
the Mississippi democrats. The sentiment at
Jackson is consequently that the democratic
managers have made mistake, and
the coming canvass will be one of the
closest and most fecund Of results that has
taken place since tho negroes assisted the white
democrats to "turn out tho carpotbagger."
The intelligent sentiment of tho state seems
to be one of disapproval of this attitude on
tho part of the democratic leaders.

they are not entitled to mako this charge.
He holds that they are required to make
docket entries of their proceedings for which
they arc entitled to payment; aud they are
also required to transmit to the clerks of
courts certified transcripts of their proceed
ings, which includes the itemized costs, and
they are entitled to payment for this trans

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the Maine
liquor law has not proven the success its
friends hoped and expected, that state has
been successful in the results of another law
which THE REPUBLICAN has heretofore ad
vocated. The Legislature of Maino framed a law
prohibiting the sale of toy pistols, and not an
accident or injury from their use has oc-
Cured in Maine since its passage.

THE universal postal union is steadily
gaining accessions. The government of Cape

for admission in October, and the postmaster

under the workings of this wise combina-
tion, cheap postal facilities will be extended
to every quarter of the civilized globe.

THE New York Tribune says that the in
surance companies cannot find outside of New
York, except in few instances, woman who
possess the requisite qualifications to conduct
the examinations of women applicants for
policies of insurance. Probably the New

trouble to find such women outside of New
York, as they do to find quibbles upon which
to pay insurance policies.

An instantaneous Light.

Snch in word is the unique apparatus
on exhibition at the rooms of the P0rtablc C
Electric Light Co., 90 Water street, Boston.
1t occupies the space of only five square
inches and weighs but five pounds, and can
be carried with ease. The light, or more
properly lighter, requires no extra power,
wires or connections and is so constructed
that any part can be replaced at small cost.
The chemicals are placed in n glass retort
a carbon and zinc apparatus, with spiral
platinum attachment, is then adjusted so
as to form battery, and the light is ready.
The pressure on little knob produces
an electric current by which the spiral of
platinum is heated to incandescence. The
Portable Electric Light Company was
recently incorporated, with capital OF
100000 under the laws of Massachusetts,
The usefulness of the apparatus and the
low price ($5) will no doubt result in its
general adoption. Some of the prominent
business men of the State are identified
with this enterprise. In addition to its use
as lighter, the apparatus can also be used
in connection with burglar-alarm and
galvanic battery. Il Boston Transcript

Meeting Of the Fire Hoard.

The monthly meeting of the Fire Board
was held last evening at Chief Cronin's
office. Applications were received for po-
sitions from Ben Lovery, Richard e.
Weldon and Charles J. Smith. The chiefs
report for the past month showed that
there were nineteen alarms of fire, involv-
ing loss of $3.50, with an insurance of
$2,950. He mentions the three fires in the
county, and states that the department re-
sponded but could render no practical SER
vice, there being no water in the vicinity,
In regard to these fires he recommends the
establishment of an engine company in the
northern part of the city. He deems it
necessary that test be made of the stand
pipe and balconies at the Pension Office. A
test was made by him of the Pigot auto
matte iron shutters at the Government
Printing Office, which proved very success
full, the shutters working very well. He
recommends the construction Of water
main on Frederick street, Georgetown.

A CHURCH ELECTION.
A Bold Plan that Reacted Upon the
ShrewQ Sch emers.

The Unitarian Church OF All Souls, on Four.
teenth street, has one of the most fashionable
cluding many who are prominent In society
and in all the learned professions. Among
the leading members of the congregation are
Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court of the
United States; Secretary Chandler, Senator
Hoar, W. Scott Smith, OF the New York Com
meycidi AdUertiser; Dr.. Loring, Commissioner
Of Of Agriculture; Dr.. Baxter, OF the Army; H. A.
philanthropists; Judges Richardson and
schoheld, OF the Court of Claims;
James G.. Hill, Supervising Architect OF the
Treasury; CxSecretary Boutwell,, General f.
A. Walker, Superintendent of the Census, and
others. The congregation is divided into two
parties, which, at the annual election for truss
tees, contest for the control with all the vim
and vigor, elimination and recrimnation
which mark similar occasions of more
worldly character. The annual election for
this year was held Tuesday night, and the
meeting was presided over by judge Richard
son, ex- Secretary of the Treasury, and now on
the bench OF the Court of Claims. Tho contest
was close and doubtful. Tho representatives
Of one of the opposing sides came provided
with numerous proxies, SUFFICIENT, 1t was said,
to turn the scale In their favor, except for the
fact that number Of those who composed
the proxies were in arrears for pew
rents, and therefore, under the bylaws not
entitled to avote. But after the tellers had re :
tired to a private room to count the votes one
Of the gentlemen belonging to the party which
offered the proxies appeared at the door, and, /,
producing pile of greenbacks, offered to pay
all tne arrears with tne UNDERSTANDING that the
votes OF those In arrears should be counted ac.
cording to the proxies furnished. Tho telers
suspended operations, returned to the meet.
ing and reported the facts and asked for
instructions. Judge Richardson, from the
chair, said that under the circumstances to
count the votes of proxies In arrears, which
had been deposited Illegally, would be
an outrage and disgrace to a political ward
caucus and should not be tolerated. He had
never In all his experience heard of such an
attempt before. On motion submitted, 1t was
Aafa lint pl.A
the arrears OF ront, but the votes OF those In
arrears should not be counted The object OF
the side offering the proxies was thus de-
| feated, and the chagrin of those concerned
| was not lessened by the fact that their moaey
| WAS gone without the equivalent desired. II
| is expected that one result OF Tuesday nights
| proceedings Will be the prohibition Of the use
| OF any proxies in the future, and tho frown
