National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-08-16


THE Philadelphia Times has just made
the discovery that Don" Cameron de-
eires to be his own successor in the semitic.
1t is not long since the Times was depict
ing the utterly helpless condition in
which Mr.. Cameron and his friends would
BIO placed by tho election of Mr.. Blaine to
the presidency, and this was given as
reason why they could not be expected to
assist in carrying Pennsylvania for the
republican ticket. Mr.. Cameron, who Is
credited with good deal of political wis.,
dom, seems to take an entirely different
view of the case himself. He will not
only do what he can to promote the cleo
tion Of Mr.. Blaine, but III tho later infor-
nation which the Times has received ia
true) will secure his own return to the
senate in the same campaign. Thero'is
no reason why Mr.. Cameron should
antagonize Mr.. Blaine, and we do not
think it likely that Mr.. Blaine's friends
in Pennsylvania will attempt to prevent
the return Of Mr.. Cameron to the senate,
should he desire reelection. Chairman
Cooper, of the Pennsylvania state central
committee, says, however, that Mr.. Cam
eron is not o candidate for reelection,
and will retire from tho senate at the
close Of his term.

Virginia Coupons.

Three years ago tho Virginia bourbons
claimed to BIO the debt paying party.
Although tho bourbon legislature utterly
neglected to provide for the payment Of
interest on large portion of the debt.
and the whole party objected to any in
crease in taxation for that purpose, yet
there were people in tho north who gave
them credit for honesty, and took sides
with them, as against tho Malone read
usters, because they supposed them to
DO opposed TO every form of re-
pudiation. To this day there
arc northern republicans who imagine
that tho return Of tho bourbons to power
in Virginia will restore the old status Of
tho bonds issued under tho act Of 1871,
They will probably be undecoivod when
they read tho report of yesterdays pro-
ceedings OF tho legislature. II was prob
ably the intention of tho trainers OF the
Riddleberger act, providing for the rofund-
ing Of the debt, that coupons on tho old
bonds, maturing after July /, 1882, could
mot be funded into the now bonds, but the

IT is long time since the lovers of the
terrible have had feast 80 much to their
tasto as is furnished by the sickening
revelations Of tho Greedy expedition.
We notice that some newspaper corre-
spondents and reporters are making tho
most of their opportunity, and arc fur
nishing details which, whether true or
false, are nauseating in the extreme.
The bare mention of the dire necessities
to which these unfortunate men were
drivenNs sufficiently sickening; but whom
the story is served up, as 1t was yesterday
by highly-imaginative reporter of the
New York World, it becomes absolutely
uncomfortable. There may be persons who
take sort of morbid pleasure in oontom-
plating "feasts' in which human flesh 10
the only Wand in regarding them as
'.orgies," &C., but there are few who
care to hear about the carving of the
muscular pieces from tho skeleton, tho
cooking Of the unsavory morsels, aud tho
protests which nature made against tho
CHASTITY food. These things had better
not DO mentioned.

SO ABLE and influential a journal as the
New York Times does itself great injustice
when 1t affects to believe the absurd story
started by u country correspondent of tho
Wheeling Register to the effect that tho
republicans were bringing colorsd voters
into West Virginia by the carload. Tho
Register subsequently explained that the
carloads of oolored people referred to were
en- route for camp meeting, and that the
story about "colonizing" the state had
no other foundation than tho idle talk of
"a lot of people who thrive on suspicion"
But in the faco Of this Reputation of q
campaign lie by tho newspaper in which
it first appeared, the organ of the boiling
republicans devotes an article to the awful
wickodness of Mr.. Elkins in using money
ITO COLOMBO ignorant or reckless voters
at points where they are needed" Will
sheorgans of the virtuous republicans who
charge Mr.. Blaine with falsehood have
tho honesty to contradict this silly lie
about Mr.. Elkins and his campaign

THE lighting of the streets and parks
Of the city is q question in which every
citizen is interested. The experiments
recently made hero with electricity,
placed on high points and backed by re-
Electors, have been witnessed by thou
sands, and the opinion generally OK
pressed was that, while the effect was
novel, il was neither useful nor satisfac-
tory, tho glare produced by these reaoc-
tors being not only hurtful to eyes, but
annoying and dangerous to pedestrians
md riders. Tho deep shadows were
equally Objectionable. These experiments
showed oonclusively that If electricity is
to DO employed to light the streets tho
lights should be distributed in the Same
manner that gas lamps are at present,
although, perhaps, at greater distances,
and tho action Of the district commission
ers in throwing open tho test to all

medical profession Of this state. informing
them that within the past year two iu-
stances Of cruel treatment of insane

object OF the committee Is TO find out IL
any such cases are known or believed to
exist, and IL so the physicians are re-
quested to send them 10 state hospitals
for tho insane, where they can receive
humane and proper treatment; and II
any physician has reason to believe any
such insane are concealed aud badly
treated, the committee will on private

La Senorita.

I saw her on q golden day,
The Spanish belle of Monterey;
When first her beauty's glad surprise
Shone out like starlight In the skies
Twas evening on the Alamo,
Whom senoritas come and go,
zach looking with coquettish glancea
From lace mantilla that enhances
Their beauty, az the soft moss throws
An added splendor round the rose--
The high comb in her raven hair,
Held one red blossom prisoned there,
And round her neck an amber chain
Had caught the sunlights yellow rain
The dusky bloom of throat and chin
Was like flower with vine therein,
Tho glad spring In her step, she South
Glowed In the rose Of check and mouth,
Whilst over form and face was thrown
A spell the coolest heart must own.
She passed serenely thro' the throng
A perfect poem set to song
Whilst cen her graceful fan had taught
Some voiceless love the speech is sought;
She did recall night ofstars,
Soft serenades meath lattice bars
A rose dropped silently below,
Where slept the moonheams' drifted snow,
Fond looks for love alone to mark
A dagger thrust made In the dark.
| watched her as she moved apart
| And left a winter In each heart,
Then said, half sadly: AS the flower
Hath grace and beauty for an hour,
So she, this radiant newcomer,
Is but the blossom of summer,
Like Joshua would command
The sun of loyeliness to stand,
That one so exquisite as she
Might bloom and shine Immortality.

tests Against Excessive Damage.
The Southern Maryland Railroad COM
pany yesterday filed exceptions to the
award Of tho appraisers OF the land con-
demnod, belonging to Charles A. McFwon
and Kato w. b. Dean, near Benning's to
DO used for bed for tho track of the road.
The exceptions are that the award is OK
cossive; that tho appraisers regarded not
alone the existing and Immediately pros
pective use for the land. but It's possible
appropriation for other aud speculative
purposes: that the damages are estimsted
with reference not only to tho part OF tho
defendants land through which tho rail-
road is constructed, but also parts more
remote, and which are unaffected by tho
road; also, that In estimating tho dam.
ages the appraisers have considered aud
provided for fanoiful and remote injuries,
and have regarded not only the present
aud natural uses for the land, but also
its occasional uncertain, and unnecessary
employment for other purposes for which
the defandant's remaining land is fully rs
woll adapted; because the appraisers erred
in not combining the damages to tho differ
enoe between tho market value of tho
whole tract of land as 1t existed without
the railroad and the market value Of the
residue of the land a{tor the location Of
road, and because tho appraisers failed TO
SGT of tho benefits which will naturally
accrue tn tho defendants from the pres
ence Of tho railroad and its construction
through their land against tho injuries
which will DO tho natural aud probable
result Of such construction.
