Henry Watterson On Tuesdays
Elections.
Courier Journal, NOy.T

The returns bring few surprises.
View the result from any direction
and the Democrats ge the victors.
New York is practically where the
election Of last year placed it-solidlr
Democratic even unto the end of
1881. The probable defeat of May
nard, the candidate for Secretary Of
State, argues nothing but the imbe-
cility OF the local chickering's. True,
the majority has suffered a trcmcn-
dous reduction. But it contracts no
good to the Republicans in a national
contest. The petty duarrels and the
trading for minor Office are RESPONSE
bic for the modest expression in IA
vor of the Democratic ticket. The
majority, though small, will do.
There is at least an end to William
Malone. lie has gone beyond recall
Virginia has risen with touch of its
old glory, and biotted him from the
face of the earth. Pestilerous, mali
cious and unprinciplcd, it is well that
the snowy ballots have hid his deeds
and devices forever. 1t is a black eye
not alone for Mahoncism and the
peculiar recognition that has strength
ened him, but it is a rebuke to the
Administration that backed him with
its powerful machinery. 1t rings
out the reign of bluster and black
guardism, il rings in the era of re-
form and regeneration. Ben Butler,
too, has gone, and perhaps It's best
lie had to 90 sooner or later, and It's
well he has gone early. Butlerism
savors of Mahoneism, and there has
been too much of both.
In New York the Democratic Sec
rotary of State has been beaten and
both houses of the Legislature are Re.

The Democrats have swept Virgin

ture falling into their hands by un'
expected majorilics.
New Jersey wheels into line for The
Democrats, Albeit being elected Gov
cruor, and both houses being Demo
cratic on joint ballot.
The Democrats swept everything

Pennsylvania has filed back int,

The crum5a1yi-E Evans Embr,glio,

Eyer since Mai. Crumbaugh's ac-
quittal of the charge Of using official
envelopes for private correspondence,
in order to defraud the government,
the plot in the nauscating drama has
been thickening so to speak. Card
after card and letter after letter has
been fired at the defenceless public
by Evans, Crum baugh, and their
sympathizers.
The day after Crumbaugh's acquit-
tai, W. l.. Hughes, one of his store
keepers, was interviewed by Cour-
Ter Journal reporter and gave the
minute details Of some little irregu-
laritics that occurred in the Hopkins
vile post Office last June. 1t will be
remembered that registered letter
containing considerable amount of
money was misplaced, but the post
master promptly made it good and
the matter was not reported. Hughes
alleges that theft was committed
and that Evans assisted in suppress.

charge to bring against a man il

eric.
Evans came out in lengthy card
and charged Crumbaugh with being
at the bottom of the matter and pub
lshed letter from Crumbaugh tt
A. ii. Clark in which the following
significant language was used:
OwENsDono, KY, Sept. 80, IS53.-
To My Dear Clark: This letter vii
be plain. have just been Informed
that }. Il. Moore, of this city, is il
Washington, trying to be collccto

Moore should be appointed, tina
alone, to say nothing about the Hop
kmsvillc matter, will he enough {
defeat his confirmation.
This letter was marked confdcn
tial and was sent in an official cnyel
Opc. Evans says he construed it in
to an attempt to blackmail him.
Crumbaugh replied in a still long
or card, giving eighteen counts {
show corruption on the part of Evan
and to set himself right with the pull
lie. These were followed by letter
and cards from deputies and ex-del
utics, et al, but Evans did not col
tent himself with merely writin
cards. On last Tuesday, lIughe
the fresh young man who stirred Il
the row, was decapitated and Crun
baugh's removal was decided upo
and announced. The latter imm

Ii is believed that Justice Harlan
Of the Supreme Court, was conriing
favor with the negroes, with an idea
of being doomed by them for the Pres
idency, when he set his judgment up
against the united opinion OF his
eight colleagues, in regard to the Civ
il Rights Bill. Is it possible that the
Republican party is in such a strait
that the colorel element holds the
balance Of power! If such is the
case why aren't the darkeys smart
enough to demand the second place
for their Moses, Fred Douglass?

Charms strike the sight, but meri,
wins the soul.
The more honesty a man has the
less he effects the air of saint.
The reward of good works is like
dates, sweet and ripening late.
Brains can not be measured by the
size of the head, nor eloquence by
the extent of the mouth.
The most delicate, the most scnsi-
blc of all pleasures, consist in pro-
noting the pleasures of others.
The power Of mans virtue should
not be measured by his special efforts
but by his ordinary doings.
Many people mistake stubborn
ness for bravery, Weamness for econ
omy. and vileness for wit.
An evil mind will be sure to put
the worst construction on another's
actions, Who can stand before envy:
The grand essentials of happiness
are, something to do, something to
love, and something to hope for.
1t is one of the maxims of Francis
de Sales--ahd good men and women
in all lands might well adopt as their
motto--tlht "A judicious silence is
always better than truth spoken with
out charity"
He who requires much from him
self and little from others, will keep
himself from being the object OF re-
sentiment.
The toothless man ought to be a
sweet talker, for all his words must
of necessity be gum drops.
Here is a verdict of Kansas jury:
+" Died of kick in the stomach from
his wife, and he never knew what
hurt him."
Why are troubles like babies?
Because they get bigger by nursing.

ly painted lamp post is marked

The Development Of Art
in America.

The rapid strides in progressive
civilization of the highest standard
in America, is the greatest orall as
tonishing marvels in the old world
Young in national cxistencc-young
even in known geographical exist
ence as part of the globc--the pro-
grcss that we have recorded seems
to the scientists and philosophers OF
the old world like fanciful midsum.
mcr nights dream, or fable of the
widest imagination.
A century sincc, art, science and
development in all directions were
of the most primitive order, but now,
as it were, all is by magic, changed
Our artists take rank with the first
and foremost of the old world; our
scientists and poets have made known
their power, and the mechanical arts
have progressed more rapidly than
in any other country. And to-day
this wonderful development is pro
grcss,ng with speed hitherto un-
known, producing results of the most
momentous importance to all man
kind.
1t is fact that the state of civili.
zation in a country may be judged,
to great extent, by the status of its
art development. The development
of art in the United States has GER
tainly been phenominal, and while a
few years since we were far down the
scale, to-day we stand side by side
with nations that were old at the time
of the declaration Of our indepen-
dence. But few years since nearly
all pictures of importance were i'm
ported. but now our own artists sup
ply nearly all Of the ever increasing
demand for great work of high art
Great art publishing houses have
come into existence, capable of sup
plying any demad that can be made
lor all descriptions of pictures, for
galleries and home adornment. 1t is
an interesting and noteworthy fac,
that the pictures demanded of these
art publishing houses, by the masses,
are generally superior to those found
in the homes of the masses abroad.
Through the operations of these art
publishing houses, good pictures, that
but few years since cost large sums
of mony, may now be purchased for
the veries, tritle, and ii'the least judg-
ment is brought to bear in the selec-
tion, works of real merit may be had;
or il the purchaser has no taste in
such matters, all that is necessary is
for him to be sure that he purchases
the goods Of reliable house.
In this connection it may be pro-
per for us to mention the great art
publishing firm Of George Stinson &
Co, of Portland, Maine, who sell, on
All average, Of subscriptions. mil.
