MR.. BLAiNG's CONDITION.

Mr.. Blaine's condition as a candid
ate is peculiar. If he is not as sick a
man as the Sultan, political diagnoses
are of III account.
1t is within the memory Of all persons
who closely regard political affairs,
that after the election OF 1880 Mr.. Beck,
of Kentucky, i'll his place i'll the senate,
announced the vote for president as re.
ceived from ofiial sources, i'll the dif-
ferent states, as showing a popular
majority for General Hancock. His
statement went to the country unchal-
lenged. BY keeping back the figures
much longer than usual, and by that sort
of political legerdemain which has be-
come too common under the influence
of the republican party, when the al
MANAGES were finally printed the record
was made to show Il popular majority
of some 10000 for Garfield, in n vote of
over 5000. 900. The indications are
that even this insignificant majority
was manufactured; but for the purpose
OF this article il is immaterial whether
tliis is true or false. Practically the
election of 1880 exhibited the fact that
thc two great political parties of the
country werc.theu equal in numbers.
In 1876 Mr.. TiIden received $50, 900
more votes than Mir. Hayes.
Thus we see that the personal charac
ter of The candidate lisa very important
factor in Il presidential election.
In 1876 Mr.. Tilden's reform record,
despite The opposition of Tammany. Sc
cured for him an mmcn popular
majority, and Il majority of 70 in the
electoral vote. In 1880 the trcachcrv
of Iam,nany succeeded in defeating
Gen. Hancock by turning over New
York TO Garfield, but by a very small
number of popular votes. To do this
it was necessary to have the iudepeu-
dent press and the independent vote.
Garfield had both.
Blame mas llellllcr.
The revolt against his nomination is
generai-that Is, it exists i'll every
state. In Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and New York il is extensive and led
by men of courage and first rate INTEL
and their influence must be
felt i'll all the other states.
The entire Independent press, and
many republican newspapers. even,
have repndiatcd Mr.. Blaine's nominal
ton. Their influence will pcrvadc
every school district in the country.
III Mr.. Blaine is "tattoocd' il will be
done by republican newspapers and re-
publican statesmen and publicists. and
the brands of dishonesty and nntrlsl-
wortlliness which they will put on him
will be indeilibIy pricked in.
Mr.. Blaine is brilliant; Mr.. Blaine is
bold, but the best thought of the coun-
try is impressed with the idea that Mr..
is also bad, and notwithstanding
MCaulay's lugubrious predictions of
the ultimate effect Of universal suffrage
in America, we have JcffersOn's faith
in the virlure of the people. Hence
think that Mr.. Blainc's condition as
a candidate is very prccarious.

Township Bonds.

a meeting was held at the courthouse last
Tuesday, 20 hear what Gen. Henderson had
to say in regard 10 the bonds issued by Lex
iASion township to the bobtail road across
the river. There We're only about fifty or
sixty persons present, and they We're nearly
all residents of the city, and rs the meeting
did not fairly represent the township. moth
ing OF Importance was done. Gen. liender
son made 4 speech, in which he urged The
people to get rid of the debt. or at least get 1t
III such Il fix us they could control il, and re-
dt!cc ii from YEAR 10 year. Part of il is now
drawing 10 per cent. interest. and he said e
per cent. was all that any community
could stand. The original debt WAS So 900.
and is now $iS1 900, and the interest amounts
TO over Si2,GOO per wear. Gen. Henderson
said that he controlled about s~eyen-eighihs
OF this debt. and might, in case !, fair COM
promise WAS offered, he able to control all of
IT except S2.aoO. He thought t5 cents for the
Irrigated bonds, and - cents for the I'M
liligafei, would be Il fair basis of compro-
mise.
There was quite Il discussion on this sub
ject. which was participated in by Messrs.
''''i' N'i Nv w iiiNol 1 ouIe .tiIl III -
y committee of eleven was selected by the
meeting to confer with Gen. Henderson, who
reported that they We're unable TO come to
any agreement, and The whole matter stands
now just where il always has stood.
Our reason why The meeting was moi more
Interested in the remarks of Gen. Heuder-
was that there We're so few people pres
ent from the other parts of the township.
and those present did not feel authorized to
act. Another reason was that any action on
tie bobtail BOMBS might affect the compro-
mise OF the Chiliicothe Lake g. CUR bonds,
III which Sni-l-Bar and Washington town
sliinS are interested. IL may be that some
good will result from the meeting. hut so far
.. amounts 10 nothing more than 4 little
friendly advice from Gen. henderson,.

During an Arctic exp loratiom Lieu
tenant Ray investigated the depth to
which the ground was frozen. He saws:
81 dug an earth shaft thirty eight feet
III depth, for the purpose of testing the
temperature, and found, on calculation.
that it is frozen to a depth of30O feet. A
bucketful Of the stuff taken out of the
shaft, when thawed out, separated into
earth and water, about four inches of
the latter standing Oh top. This proved
that if the ground there were ever
warmed sufficiently to be resolved into
its original parts it would be found to be
quite incapable OF supporting anything
on its surface. 1t is really frozen slush.
