ALONG THE FoIBA.

1t was about eleven O'Clock. The clouds
had begun to di solve in drenching
showers. Mingled with the rain there
fell huge hailsIOnes which shot into the
waters Of the FOiba and ratified over the
rocks down It's sides like the stream Of
lead from a mitrailleuse. Tue firing from
the embrasures had ceased. Why waste
ammunition on the fugitives? The FOlba
would only give them up as c0rpsss--H
even it did that.
AS soon as Count Sandorf fell into the
torrent he found himself swept helplsesly
into the Buoo. In a few moments he
passed from the intense light with which
the electricity filed the ravine into the
profoundest darkness. The roar Of the
waters had taken the place OF tue roll OF
the thunder. For into that impenetrable
cavern there entered none OF the outside
light or sounds.

Count sandorf was by his side, holding

The position was critical. Bathory
could hardly move his limbs. They had
been halt paralyzed by the stroke. AL

been sensibly lessened by their plunge
into the cold, the state Of inertia into
which be had been thrown did not allow
Of his using them. Had Sandorf aband-

SEVERAL weeks ago the President, to
pacify the Kentucky BOurbons, appoint
ed one James Blackburn. a brother of
Senator Joe Blackburn, Collector
of Internal Revenue, of the 7th district
of Kentucky, but now withholds his
commission, because of the unearthing
of letter written by Blackburn to his
wife, in October. 1861, containing >
among other things. the following
words:
From this day l held every Union
traitor as my enemy, and from him
scorn to receive quarter, and to him
will never grant my soul in death, for
they are towards and villains all. Since
/ hate the Union men of Kentucky,
intend to begin the work of murder in
earnest, and if [ ever spare one of them,
may he'll be nv portion. | want to see
Union blood flow deep enough to swim
my horse in"
1t strikes us that the President dis
eliminates harshly between his Confed'
crate friends. Two-thirds of his ap~
pointees thus far have been men who
were either engaged in trying to shoot
to death the Union, or else were in the
councils of the Confederacy devising
ways ard means to accomplish the same
purpose SO ardently desired by the mHr
derous Blackburn. The whole traitor

'scorned to take quarter from Union
men" until compelled to.

Two YEARS AGO an act was passed by
the Legislature of Michigan providing
for the probate of wills during the life
of the testator. The law was widely
and, for the most part, favorably COM
mented upon as a means of escaping the
too common litigation over wills; but
the Michigan Supreme Court has just
declared it unconstitutional, on the
ground it did not give wife an 0ppor
tunity to be heard touching the disposi+
tion by the husband of property in which
she has rights. "A wife's il terests in
her husbands estate" says the Court,
"are not likely to be purely selfish and
personal. The two cooperate in accu-
mulating it. generally with an object il
view that eventually it shall benefit chill
dreH or others to whom they are mutu1
ally attached; and if the husband, while
mentally incompetent or in the hands
and under the influence of scheming and
merceny persons, is making disposition
of it, no person is so justly entitled as
the wife to make showing of the facts
to defeat il"

\ Pronunciamento of the SpOHsmen.

Notwithstanding the industrious as
seTvations of some Democratic authorl-
ties, that there is nothing in the report
ed conferences of dissatisfied Democrat
ic leaders at Washington, other organs
are equally industrious in asserting that
the politicians are getting ready to ex
plede d paLaId at the door of the admin
istration.
The New York Sun, in double-lead
ed pronunciamento, under the disguise
of Washington special, declares that
"the President has been kindly but
firmly told that by geing ahead on a
line displeasing to the representatives OF
the Democratic sentiment of the coun-
try, he will speedily come to the parting
of the ways" 1t also is asserted that
the conferences have been between such
Democratic leaders as Randall, Barnum
Smalley, Beck, VOORHEES,, Payne and
Others" The great and undying princl-
pie on which these eminent leaders are
attempting to bulldoZe the administra,
tion, is ito have Democrats appointed IN
accordance with the wishes of those
Democrats to whom the party, if it is to
prosper, must look to fight its battles in
the future"
This is the Pickwickian expression OF
the spoils policy, in its most virulent
shape. The Democratic party must have
the spoils, and the spoils must be given
to the party workers, for the support OF
party and not for the efficiency of the
public service. Every one knew that
this was what the great bulk of the
Democrats were after; but it was sup
posed that their nomination and election
of Cleveland expressed willingness tC
accept some degree of civil service re-
form for the sake of the restricted share
of the patronage which they might gel
by that patronage.
Thereported declaration of these en-
inent advocates of the unnltigated spOlls
theory shows that they will take moth
ing less than the old plan of dividing
up the offices among the party hacks and
wirepullers. They must have the pa
tronage disposed of without any further
delay; and they will not consent to any
sharing of the prizes with the irregular
contingent. The mugwumpS," says tht
Sun. will have to be content with wha
they have got or will get hereafter only
By common consent" If this platform
is not accepted, there will be trouble il
| the Democratic camp.
1t might be we'll to have this ISSUE
| fought out, for the purpose of deciding
whether it was Cleveland who wa
| aIectad President or the eminent nOliti
clans, who ale thus asserting their righ
to distribute patronage "by common
consent" But recent appointments Oh
the part of the administration indicat
that these gentlemen will soon be paci
fed by receiving substantial shares o
the ap.-Pittsbnrgh Dispatch.

Democratic PrOfiigacy.

We have received from our Columbus
correspondent complete exhibit of the
items of bonded Indebtedness authorized
throughout the State by the Legislature.
The sum total is 81 1,252,990
This is the total of simply the bonded
Indebtedness authorized. The amount
IF additional taxation authorized will
figure up as much more, though a pre-
else estimate is impossible. Additional
taxation is not included in the sum to-
tai, even when the amount is certain.
Thus but S2,OOO,0OO is set down as the
bonded Indebtedness of the Cincinnati
law authorizing an
expenditure of S2.OOO,OOO additional, to
be raised by assessment.

THE New York Tribune in comment
ing upon the removal of Mr. Joseph
Nimmo, the distinguished chief of the
Bureau of Statistics in the Treasury De-
partment, says: In no other branch of
the service is it more necessary that
there should be, not only entire free>
dom from partisan bias, but such Off !
cial selections that the nOn-partisan
character Of the information given shall
be by all recognized and admitted. Mr..
Nimmo has rendered most valuable ser
vice in this Bureau. He brought to it
long training, great zeal as statistician,
and singularly impartial spirit so that
men of ali parties who have statistical
knowledge know that he has vastly i'm
proved the work of the Bureau. Its re-
ports have never been even suspected
of partisan dishonesty. Yet such an of
ficer must be put out, to make room for
one of whom only this is known, that
ne has no statistical experience whatev-
er, but is most rabid partisan. The in
evitable inference is that under this Ad-
ministration we are to be blessed with
Democratic statistics, cooked accounts,
and cunning falsihcatiOns of every va
riety TO support Democratic theories
Mr.. Manning was not put where he is by
accident.

OBITUARY.
LoYpsvILLE. O. MAY Is. 1885.

The citizens of our village were shock
ed by the sudden death of j. w. McFar-
land, on the evening of the Sth inst, at
about clock. He had been sick for a
period OF two months, with asthmatical,
lung and heart affections. Although his
death was not altogether uneXpected,yet
if was hoped by his friends that he
might recover, and with this end in
view he was removed from his home in
Bridgeport to that of his brother, |. G..
Mcfarland, Louisville. The change Of
place seemed very beneficial, and he
thought himself much better, and was
able to take his meas with the family
on the day of his death, but on. retiring
to his room in the evening, he suddenly
expired in his chair, almost without a
struggle. During his sickness, which
had for its origin organic heart disease.
be was a most patient sufferer; during
all the long nights of agony in which he
wrestled with the destroyer, no word of
murmuring or complaint escaped him,
and although he realized the immiDency
of death, he seemed measurably resigned
and calm, yet the buoyancy of his na-
ture bore him up with a hope that there
was more of this life for him, until
death suddenly drew the veil upon it
all. Deceased was within few days of
Al years of age; was born and lived most
of his life in Belmont county; was well
known to large number of its citizens,
and had a peculiar faculty for making
and retaining friends; his was sympa
thetic and charitable nature, and many
persons will cherish a kindly memory
for his life. The funeral took place
from the residence of his brother, L. G.
Mcfarland ,Loydsville; religious services
by Rev. HisSom; interment at Morris
town. Rest his ashes. Let US remember
his kind heart and forget his faults,
commencing his spirit to Him who has
said, 81 am the resurrection and the
life" A FRIEND.
