Political snecnIntion.

According to a special despatch from
Boston, Massachusetts, Blaine Repub-
lican who has been in the habit of iig-
uring successfully on the result of
Presidential elections on the basis of a
ratio between candidates, by making a
personal canvass of a limited territory.
has reluctantly come to the conclusion
that Mr.. Blaine will not have any votes
to spare. Out of 6S3 votes canvassed
he found 2S7 for Blaine, 2S6 for Cleye-
land, 100 for Butler and for st. John.
The most surprising and alarming dis
sovery that he made was that out of
the 2S6 votes for Cleveland ia Of them
Were Republicans. He believes that
Blaine will carry Massachusetts,, but is
not disposed to speculate" on the ma
iority. He is convinced that the indie
pendent vote win be much larger than
IS expected, his table showing that the
ratio of Independents to Republicans
will be about as As is to 100.
This careful calculator believes that
New York will go for Cleveland, but
hopes after all that Blaine willsget 20l
votes in the Electoral College, which
would be majority of one.
1T this is the best a shreWd Blaine
man can do at this stage of the canvass
Democrats and independents have rea-
son to feel quite comfortable, for this
is a growing canvass. and the growth
is all on the side of Mr.. Cleveland. If
the Massachusetts man win make am
other personal canvass a month from
now he viii find fewer Butler Demo
Gratis, more independents and fewer
Blaine Republicans. He will have e
readiust his figures and the ratios will
all be changed, and the changes VIII -

TbegieUe that Intoxicating drinks are
bad because they produce great, but all
bad results.
IbelieUe that to make them, good things
are destroyed, and it is wrong to destroy
good things.to make bad ones.
I6eEiece that to sell them is to scatter
broadcast the seeds of misery and crime,
and this is wrong.
Ibeliece that to give them te others is
to tempt them to evil, and this is always
wrong.
Ibelieue that license includes protec-
tion, without which the evil thing could
not be tolerated.
Ibelieue that to license a body of men
TO do evil for the sake of revenue is a
disgrace to any civilized government,
and more SO to one professedly Chris
tian.
Ibeliece that the use of Intoxicating
drinks is their abuse, as they cannot be
made without wasting (abusing) good
things to make them.
/ believe that while no medical or
moral philosopher can point to any good
as the result of making them, the most
childish and ignorant amongst men
both know and feel the evils continually
flowing from them.
I6etierc that the right use of any and
every thing is when it is used SO as 20
produce good and not evil; and the
wrong use of any and every thing is
when it is used to produce evil and not
good.
Ibeliece that brewers, distillers, holders
of public-house property, and legislators
who license the traffic, are alike the
greatest curses of their country, and
their own worst enemies.
Ibeliere that there was time when
those things were given to friends
through real friendship, but in this age
it is an act of bribery most contempti-
bic, which any man practicing must do
so to his own hurt.
Ibeliere that the traffic in drink should
and must be prohibited Our legislators
must wash their hands Of all connection
with the evil thing.
Ibeliere that all participation -either
by making, selling, using, giving, or
taking strong drink -shan be stamped
as immoral and vile. And so shall be
blessed the efforts of the men who have
struggled in the past, on are struggling
In the present time, and of our children
who shall witness the victory of its an
lnihilafion in the future, while we witness
Il from the other side.

THE FACT CONFESSED.
That the Flesh Had Been Cut from
the Bodies OF Six OF the Greedy

That the Flesh Had been Cut from
the Bodies OF Six OF the Greedy
Party.
Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler held a
consultation with Commander Schley at
New York yesterday and determined to
issue the following reliable statements rela-
tive to the recent reports of tho treatment
of the bodies of the dead of the Greedy Polar
Expedition:
"From the revelations made by exhum-
ing some of the bodies, inierences have been
drawn that incisions had been made in all
the bodies, and that portions of the flesh
had been used either for food or for bait for
catching shrimps."
The following authentic extract from
Commander Schley's report now being pre-
pared for the Secretary of the Navy, shows a
portion of the remains to have been so
treated, but that those Of Lieutenant Lock-
wood, Sergeant Israel, Sergeant Linn, Pri-
vate Schneider, Sergeant Cross and tho Es-
kimo Christiansen were absolutely whole
and untouched. This extract is as follows
In preparing the bodies OF the dead for
transportation IN alcohol to st. Johns 1t was
found that the bodies OF six OF them (Lieuten
ant Kislingbury, Sergeant Jewoll, Private
Whistler, Private Henry, Private Ellis and
| Sergeant Ralston) had been cut ana tho 1eshy
parts removed to O greater or loss extent. All
| the other bodies were intact.
Commander Schley's report will be &C.
companied by 200 Photographic views. Pri-
vate Henry's sister has at last forwarded to
the New York Coroner proofs Of her rela-
| tionship and an order for the disinterment

THE COMING pLENARY COUNCIL.

cedure.
with the method and course Of procedure
in councils like that to be held in Baltimore
next November, as well as the preparatory
work which is in part done by conferences
of theologians like that held at st. Charles
College, Howard County, this week, gave
to writer for the Baltimore Sun tho fol-
lowing account of tho manner in which
these learned bodies proceed
Some time in advance of the meeting OF
the plenary council the several archbshops
and bishops convene number of the most
learned Of the clergy In the respective
provinces or dioceses, to whom their su-
perior submits schema of certain .ques-
tions, propositions or subjects which are
among those upon which the Plenary Coun-
Gil will be called upon to act. The bishop
or other superior submitting the schema
may indicate what are his own views. Tho
province of tho conference IS TO consider,
discuss and put into such form as the ma
jority decide to be best the questions pre-
sented by the schema for the consideration
and action of the plenary council. This is
done to clear tho way for the more rapid
and intelligent action of the theologans in
the authoritative council not to PREJUDICE
or to determine any question. but to put it
in such shape that the superior body can
SEQ its nature at glance and know at once
what to do with it, to whom or to what
portion of the council as o committee to re-
fer IL.
The Plenary Council will be composed of
two branches or houses corresponding to
the Senate and House of Representatives OF
the United States Tho archbishops, bish-
ops and higher dignitaries form one house,
and the theologians, who will be divided
into congregations, equivalent to commit
tees of ten or twelve each in number.
Each congregation will be presided over by
a bishop and will have it's secretary To
each of these congregations is referred some
particular subject or matter which the
council is called to legislate upon. One
congregation will have, for instance, for It's
consideration the subject OF priests, another
education, another canon law, and SO on.
The different members of the congregation
will express their views and cast their
votes.
The secretary will take account of the
opinion or view which n majority of the
unanimous congregation sustain, making a
report of tho result, the reasons for it aud
the number sustaining it, which account is
reported to the other house, when the
| bishops and archbishops in their turn con-
slider, discuss and vote upon 1t, approving
| 1t entirely, rejecting IL, or accepting 1t with
some modification, as the case may be
Finally the action of the council is re-
turned to Rome, when the questions are
| again considered by the congregations oi
cardinals and eminent theologians. Their
| action is made known to the Pope, whose
approval makes 1t fnality. The pro
ceedings of the Plenary Council, as thus
finally affirmed or modified by the highest
legislative body of the church, are printed
and sent to each bishop, &C., who was 9
ance in the execution of his office.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.
Important Action at the Meeting In
baltimore Yesterday.


baltimore Yesterday.
The monthly meeting of the board of di-
rectors Of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
was held yesterday at Barnum's Hotel,
Lewis L. Smith, president; Hon p. Hamill,
General James G.. Berret, John Humbird,
James A. L. Mcclure, Spencer Watkins and
Robert A. Dobbin, present.
The resignation Of Mr. Benjamin Fawcett
Of Montgomery County, clerk and treas
urer, who has been connected with tho
canal for about twelve years, was presented,
and also the resignation of Mr.. George
Smith, Of Howard County, engineer. These
were accepted, to take effect October 1.
Mr.. Stephen Gambrill, general superin-
tendent and paymaster, will succeed Mr..
Fawcett as clerk and treasurer, and will
continue also as paymaster. The salary is
$500. President Smith will take upon
himself the duties Of general superintond-
ent without additional pay to his $4,000
salary. The position Of engineer was
abolished.
Tho salary of general superintendent,
$4,000, and of the engineer, who had 5000,
are cut of tho expense account by the now
arrangement Tho working force OF the
canal has been reduced more than one-half
under the order of the board to that end,
which went into effect July l, and all sala-
ries above 5000 have been reduced 20 per
cent. or more. 1t was stated that the
force is now as small as 1t Is practicable to
have it and operate the canal at all, but the
condition Of the business makes this re-
trenchment necessary. The canal is in good
working order, and coal shipments are in
creasing. The hands were last week paid
for the month Of June. The board Of
directors discussed tho pending suit In the
United States Court against the canal, and
their answer will be filed in due time.

PECULIAR PERFORMANCES
by Some of The visitors To Ocean
Grove, N. j.


Ocean Grove is poor place for the
"boys," writes q correspondent who is put
ting in his vacation over there. He says
that If you go onto the beach early in the
morning or late in the evening you will sec
numbers of men, thinly disguised in bath
ing hat, strolling along the beach intently
looking for certain landmark. Directly
one Of them will go down on his knees in
the sand and begin to scratch like a dog.
Soon he will unearth some instrument, owl
IDENTIFY of glass. If you will watch him
closely you will see him take furtive gaze
at the heavens through tho instrument
aforesaid. Then he smacks his lips aud If
you listen you will hear him say, Yum
yum" Then he takes another mOuthful
or two Of gaze, lops down on his knees
again and scratches gravel few minutes,
sets his landmark again and goes slowly
away till next yum-yum time. An old
Jerseyman was asked what it all meant.
He said piratical vessel, loaded with pi
ratcal quart and pint TASKS filled with
whisky, was wrecked on the beach hun
dred or more years ago, and people have
been digging 'cm up ever since. One pecu-
liarity of the matter is that the TASKS can
never be found except during the hot
months of each year. Another sngularty
is that each man must hunt for 'em alone
If more than one goes the TASKS sink down
to mid earth. 1t is reported that one of
the cOrks will soon be sent to the Academy
of Sciences, London, to see if the savants
can furnish some reasonable explanation of
the strange phenomenon.

Political Contributions Under the
Civil Service.


Notwithstanding the efforts of tho Demo-
cratic and Assistant Democratic press tho
clerks in the Departments are contributing
their mites toward tho expenses OF tho
campaign, evidently believing they have
as much right to contribute to tho support
Of their political principles as a private
citizen notwithstanding so-called Civil-Ser-
vice Reform.
1t is safo to say that thoro are very few
Republicans holding positions in the De-
partments who will not sec the necessity
as we'll rs feel IL their duty to como forward
and help, with portion of thsir means, to
promote the party which represents their
political views.
The principal effect the Civil-Service
rules, so vigorously pushed forward by the OPP
position press, will have will be to deter Dem
ocrats holding position in tho Departments
from contributing or furnishing the money
necessary tsJheet the legitimate expenses
Of the campaign. The subcommittee Of the
National Committee is already receiving
quito liberal contributions, and the only
thing that will probably operate against
them is the fact that many persons are
making their contributions to the different
State committees This is an unwise thing
to do, for the National Committee know rs
a matter of course where it is best to OK
pond the money, and IL can be used to a
much better advantage by having 1t in one
fund than in many.
Republicans know very well that tho
Democrats only care for Civil-service re-
form for the injury it may innict on the
Republican party. They can see no reason
why Republican in Office may not give
his influence and his means to promote the
cause of the party which they believe rop-
resents the best political ideas.
