The Republican leaders feel very blu.
over the recent panic. They general agree
that it will materially diminish theil
chances in the coming election. How
much they will be hurt they do not know
as it is too soon to perceive the effect
which the crash will have in the country
The Republicans even charge the cause OF
the crash to overtaxation by the national
government, and admit that since their
party is in power at Washington it will
have to shoulder the responsibility and
bear the brunt of the crash A very pro-
minent Democrat is reported as having
said that: "The panic creates a situation
similar in many respects to that of 1876.
At that time the business of the country
was in Frustrated condition. Business
men believed that the trouble lay in the
management of the national government.
They wanted change, in the belief that
better times would come should the con
troll of the government be intrusted TO the
democratic party. That was the secret of
TIlden's election. Apply the same situa-
ton to the presidential election this year.
The crash has just come. There is no
time for its full effects to wear of, as there
was between the panic OF '73 and the pre-
sidential election of 1876. The democra-
tic party will get the full benefit of wide
spread desire for change, which is sure
to spring up. Under such circumstances
l can't see how our party can fail to carry
the election, unless it absolutely throws
away its opportunity by nominating some
political nonenity who could not commend
the confidence of the public

feet of the confirm alton of DR.. Smoot by
the Senate at the late session of the Legis-
lature. The logic of tie decision in the
Somerville case was early that, wherever
an officer is appointed by the concurrent
action of The Governor and Senate, va
cancy in such Office shall not take place
by reason of the failure of the Governor
and Senate to concur in the appointment
of successor or in other words that an
officer appointed 10y the concurrent action
of the Governor and Senate shall not oe
displaced, except in cases of incompe ency
etc, by successor appointed 10y the Gov
ernor alone.
DR.. Smoot had been appointed 10y the
joint action of the Governor and Senate,
but the commission he held, by the terms
of the constitu ion, necessarily expired
with the ED of the last session of the
General Assembly. 1t, therefore. the Ell
feet of his nomination to, and confirmation
by the Senate at the late session was to
place him on similar footing with other
officers appointed by both branches of the
appointing power, or to give him any adj
ditional title to the Office, whatever, be
sides that which had been conferred by
the previous appoin ment of the Cover
nor, such further title should have been
evidenced by a supplementary commits
sion.
1t is to be regretted that the recent case
was not so preser ted as to secure the adiu
dication OF the Court upon the right of the
Governor under existing law to seect
tobacco inspec or from non-tobacco-
growing county.

No apprehension is felt at the Treasury
of any extended trouble among the nation
al banks. Individual failures may occur,
resulting from causes like those that pre-
cipitated the panic in New York. But in
main the banks are sound, we'll regulated,
and able to meet their obligations. The
present depressed condition of affairs will
continue until the overloaded market is
freed from worthless stocks, and the gam
blers are driven into exile from their &C
customed haunts. One of the many
causes which led to the crash of 1878 was
the construction of railroads beyond the
demand of the times That error has been
repeated now, and, as necessary conse-
quence, there has been forced upon the
market vast amount of bonds and stocks
that are incapable of making returns to
speculative investors. In other respects
the conditions are very different from
what they were when Jay Cooke & Co.,
led the way in q general break down.
The channels of trade may be temporarily
clogged by this sudden check, but the
great business Of the country is not ser
iously affected, nor are the common inter
ests injured by the explosion in Wall
street. Ali branches of business were de-
pressed long before Grant & Ward started
the present arrangement, as natural re-
action from the overtrading and overbuiid-
ing of railroads and other excuses which
the great prosperity resulting from short
crops in Europe and large crops in the
United States had caused. These periods
of prosperity and of adversely come and
go with a sort of fixed regularity. The
time between them has shortened. We
travel at a faster pace now than formerly
when about twenty years separated these
epochs. Recovery from the actual de.
preston may not be rapid, but it is GER
tain to come in the near future. PoIiti
cally, the effect of the financial disasters
will be injurious to the party in power.

The oath, commonly called the IRON
clad, which was intended to, but certain
ly did not, shut out from Federal employ
ment or distinction those persons who. in
the war between the States aided and
abetted the Southern Confederacy, is vir-
tually at an end, the bill for its repeal
having passed both houses ana there be-
ing no reason for supposing that Presi-
dent Arthur will refuse to sign it. That
it ought to have been abrogated long ago
is sufficiently manifest from the fact that
for the last fifteen years there have been
men in Congress who could not take it,
and for whose benefit what was called the
modified oath was necessarily substituted
In the present House of three hundred
and twenty four Members, in the face Of
the law as it now stands, at least sixty de-
clined to swear to it and were qualified
upon another, the distinction in Congress
being necessary concession. The break
ing down of all distinctions between the
one and the other class of persons whose
relations to the Federal Government re-
quire them to take any oath at all, shows
that the last barrier has been destroyed
aud that no mans antecedents shall here
after be inquired into by any Of the citi-
zens of reunited republic. Democrats
and Republicans live on both sides of the
line. Differences in politics arise, contin-
ne and remain unsettled without regard
to man birth or his conduct during the
war closed nearly tw Ety years ago. The
action of Congress on the iron. clad oath
merely conforms existing law to the senti.
ment OF the country.

The question of legalizing marriage
with deceased wife's sister continues to
agitate both Church and State in Great
Britain. 1t is said that the bill which is
now pending in the House of Commons
to sanction such marriages will not pass
the House of Lords. Although such msr-
riages seem to be common enough in sew
eral Of the British colonies, they are not
and it seems, will not be sanctioned in
England.

Three revenue bills were introduced in
the House last week one by Mr.. Abram s.
Hewitt, one by Mr.. Tucker and one by Mr..
John j. O'Neill. Each of them is fully as
Objectionable to the Protectionists as, il
not more SO than, the Morrison bill. 1t
would be great waste of time to no pur-
pose to discuss them at this stage of the
session after the uncalled- for action of the
Coalitionists in defeating the Morrison
bill.

Averaged $500 to the Ton.

Some weeks since, Messrs. Snow d
Kemper shipped to Omaha, Neb.,
about fourteen tons of ore from their
Florence mine, for reduction. At the
time of shipment the ARGUS claimed
the result would be a surprise to the
most skeptical. The ore has proven to
be worth what the owners claimed for
it, viz: $500 per ton, it having averaged
that when milled. Out of this ship
ment of fourteen IONS the boys cleared
owe all expenses, $6,272.45. Judging
from the character of the ore now
being taken Out Of the mine, the next
shipment will give much larger re-
turns.
