POOR OLD pISCHovER.
The Great American Claimant Gradually
Regaining His Right Mind.

Yesterday Justice Charles Walter went
over to the lunatic asylum to call upon Col
Maurice Pinchover, tho great American
claimant, who was for years q conspicuous
figure about the corridors of the capitol aud
the hotels OF the city, who has buttonholed
more senators and representatives in his day
than any other living man. Judge Walter
says: "Old Pinchover is not yet in his right
mind, although he is getting fat and hearty,
aud seems perfectly satisfied with his sur
roundings, except that he keeps himselfin a
dignifed way in his room away from the
rest of tho patients, whom he denominates as
'cranks.' His belief is that he has only to
stay in tho asylum until his arm gets we'll,
and that in the meantime tho collapse of the
banks is owing solely to tho fact that he
is absent from the theater Of speculation"
The most pathetic incident of the visit was
that when Justice Walter offered him box
OF cigars ~ money, the poor old fellow broke
down, and with tears in his eyes begged that
he might be restored to liberty, even if he
had to beg for his bread.
There is no doubt but that the great oppo-
nent of Tom Scott is gradually coming to
his Senses

On Monday next the largest number of
professional bicyclsts that ever competed for
prizes will meet In this city to test their
speeding powers. The last race between the

who contested with Prince yesterday in
Philadelphia in the ten-mile race. The race
on Monday between tho champions will be

lard, of Providence, K. l., and some of tho

Senator Bsyard submitted joint resolu-
tfon in the Senate yesterday directing the
secretary of war to survey Rock Creek val
Icy for the purpose of converting it into a
p ublic park. Mr.. Bayard said there was no
suggestion of exp ense IN the resolution; that
the land and tho valley was unfit for build
ing or for any other purpose except as q
park; and that Mr.. Omstead, the distin-
guished landscape gardener, recommended
that il be converted to this use. Mr.. Bayard
said he had offered the resolution at the in
stance of numerous prominent citizens of
Washington, "whom we all know" and that
as it involved no expense, it ought to be
adopted. He said tho resolution merely
contemplated survey and that upon it
hereafter congress could determine whether
or not the project could be carried out. At
the suggestion of Mr.. Sherman the resolu-
tion was referred to the district committee.

A wonderful Transform ation.

The change that will take place, on
the Demoorat tic party returning to power,
will be so radical, SO complete and 30
wonderful, that it almost deiies descrip-
ton. 1t will mean not merely the ex.
change Of Republican President for
Democratic one, and the replacing OF
certain Republican Postmasters ly men
of the opposite political faith. 1t will
signify far more than this. 1t will de.
note great moral awakening among the
people, and return to the true idea of
the Republic. There will be, as it were.
q freer, purer atmosphere in the land.
The places that now know, or have
known, the Bradys, the Colfaxes, the
Keifers, the Dorseys, the Mahones, the
Gorhams, and the Pomeroys, will know
them no moro forever. Interrupted
and incorruptible acknowledgements in
the broadest and truest sense-will as.
sumo control in all departments Of tie
government. The books will be opened,
the gigantic frauds and untold wicked
ness of tho Republican regime will be
shown to the whole world, and wrong
in high places will receive rebuke and
condemnation that will obviate u ropeti-
tion of like evils for generations. Mis-
rule and official corruption will be made
odious, and history will record the fact
in no uncertain words. The moral sense
of the nation will be quickened and re-
ceive new impulse-bo born again, as
it were. There will be such a revival
and renewing of the true, manly life of
the whole people as took place in Eng
land after the lascivious aud debasing
reign of Charles the Second. There
will be a return to true American pin
ciples, not only in the government, but
throughout the nation. For many
year after the Democratic victory We
shall hear nothing of centralizing ten
denotes, of corrupt doings in exalted off
ces, of betrayals OF public trusts, of the
Republic deserting Its citizens and al
lowing them to rot and die in foreign
dungeons, and be shot like dogs by the
brutal soldiery of foreign despot.
America will again become watchword
and an honor throughout the world.
Patriotism will cease to be a sneer and a
reproach. Justice aud right will hold
sway, Us Of old. The time is ripe for
these great changes. Nothing good can
come out Of the Republican party. The
nation is sick, nigh unto death. The
Republican party is the cause of all our
national troubles, and Democratic
triumph will insure all the grand results
outlined and more; while a continuance
of Republicans in power will be an in
suit and deadly blow at liberty and the
right of self-government. perhaps fatal
in its effects, by putting the stamp Of
