PHILADEI,PHIA,s KICK

Philadelphia is naturally proud of the old
Liberty bell. Still the city finds the relic
an expensive one. The city council is now
wrangling over bill which the comptroller
refused TO certify for payment 1t is bill
amounting to nearly 81, 400. incurred in the
reception and entertainment of the mayor
of New Orleans and representatives of the
municipal government of that city, who es-
corted the Liberty bell home from the exposi-
ton. The Quaker City doesn't seem TO OBJ
ject to the amount of the bill so much as it
kicks against the items included in the bill.
The trouble with the Philadelphia people
is they don't understand New Orleans
habits and are not familiar with Southern
tastes. One feature in the itemized state
ment which staggers the Philadelphia city
council is that seven and three-fourths gal
Ions of whisky are included and only. 20
cents worth of sugar. 1t is evident that in
Philadelphia the rule is ito take sugar I'm

GERMAN AFRICAN COLONIES.

The colonies which the Germans have
planted in the CAMERON country are en-
gagged in bloody warfare with the natives.
Although beaten back repeatedly the blacks
swarm again and again to the attack.
Hostilities with Zanzibar are also immi-
nent. The colonization plans of all ma
tons in recent times, with the exception of
those of English-speaking peoples, have
almost uniformly proved abortive. There
seem to be Unborn traits in the Anglo
Saxon race which fit them pre-eminently TO
cope with the difficulties of the wilds and
TO found empires in distant quarters of the
globe. The spirit of the settler has long
since died out among the Latin races and
the Germans that did not emigrate in the
era of HENGIsr and HoRsA never pos
sesSed the faculty of founding national
colonies. From whatever cause, however.
it may be. BIsMARCK's dashing scheme of
building up new Germany on the east
coast of Africa, whereby the emigrants
from the fatherland might be retained in their
allegiance and Germany be enabled to Off
set England's vast colonial possessions, is
likely TO prove failure. The Man of Iron
has been able to recast the map of Europe,
but other faculties are required to build up
communities in new, untamed lands.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

JOHN S. WISE. who was nominated YES
terday by the Virginia Republicans as their
candidate for governor, is a son of the late
EX-GOv. HENRY A. WISE, who, in his day,
was the most brilliant stump orator I'm the
Old Dominion, and who rose to national
fame by the successful fight he made against
Know NOthingism in 1856. The elder WISE
first entered congress as Wing and flashed
his maiden sword in a memorable debate
with the war horses of the Democratic
party in defense of Mr.. CLAY's tariff
policy. Subsequently he became convert
to the Democratic idea and remained a
leader Of the Virginia Democracy up to the
civil war. He entered the Confederate SER
vice as brigadier general, but failed
to make his mark as a military man.
After the close of the war he cut loose from
the Democratic party, and while he did not
identify himself with the Republican or
ganization, it was pretty well understood
by his Virginia friends that at the time of
his death, which occurred six or seven
years ago, he was in opposition to the
Democracy of his state. Young WISE.

10 d law u ICoIulhS III IelCllliOHu. ana was
elected to congress on the Readjuster ticket
two years ago. He has been an active par
tisan in MAHoNE's Readjuster organiza-
ton, and has been one of the most promi-
nent canvassers that the Readiusters have
had. He inherits the fiery eloquence of his
illustrious father, and is distinguished for
his personal courage. He is by all odds the
strongest candidate that the mongreI
party in Virginia could have nominated.
In addition to his fathers prestige in
the state he himself possesses rare ability
and will make desperate fight for success.
MALONE will throw all his powers into the
canvass for the legislature which is to be
chosen at the next election will name Ma
HOMES successor in the senate and the willy
little guerrilla has it in his head to succeed
himself. Two years ago the Democrats of
Virginia, under the splendid management
OF Congressman BARBOUR, wrested control
of the state from the MALONE gang, and it
does seem that with any sort of prudence
they ought to be able TO hold their position.
The probabilities are that FITZHUGH LEE,
who has more personal popularity than any
man in the state, will be the Democratic
candidate for governor. LEE is not a match
for WISE on the stump. But if the Virginia
Democrats. are prudent they will nominate
LEE and then let WISE have the whole state
to himself as ranting ground, while LEE
makes still hunt. If MALONE is licked this
time he will stay licked.

BAYARDISM.

When Secretary BAYARD said eff a
party is to administer government only TO
put its followers in office, popular govern
ment is failure" he found no one to take
issue with him for the reason that no sane
man insists upon such a proposition.
Parties are the opponents of ideas. In a
popular form of government where two dis
tinct ideas contest for domination it is done
through the agency, machinery and organ
iZation of party. The idea which receives
popular approval is expected TO be enforced
and put into application in the administra-
ton of the government Therefore, while
a party does not go into power solely
to put its followers in office, still it is pre-
swmable that it can best apply the idea or
principle it represents by putting into Of
fee individuals who are indOctrinated with
that idea rather than those who are hostile
to it. Democracy and Republicanism rep
resent two distinct political principles. The
difference between these two ideas was the
issue in the late canvass. The result was
favorable to Democracy. The will of the
majority being the law of republic, il is
hard to understand why il is a departure
from republican customs or a shock 10 re-
publican institutions TO put into Office indi-
viduals who are imbued with the faith of
the people. Putting its followers into Of
flee is not the only feature of party admin
istration of a government. Yet it is very
important one if the principles of that party
are correct and are 10 be successfully applied
If Mr.. BAYARD wants 10 live in history
as political sage he will have to cut of
his wisdom in larger chunks than the
maxim we have quoted.

THE SOUTHERN PURITAN.

Recent articles in the Century magazine
have revived popular interest i'm one of the
most prominent and peculiar personages of
the great civil war-SToEEwALLJ ACKsoN.
And yet it is singular, as the great war and
its heroes rapidly fade into the dim domain
of history and tradition to find such diverse
opinions held by modern critics of their es-
Inmates of illuStriOus characters who were
identified with the struggle. AS an illus
tration we find the military editorial critic
of the Chicago Herald expressing the opin-
ion that JACRsoN's reputation as a soldier
has been greatly overestimated While on
the other hand we find the military editor
ial critic of the st. Louis Republican call
ing him the CROMWELL of the Confeder-
acy. The Herald says that JACKSON twas
romantla character in many respects, and
his death on the battlefield fixed his place
in the hearts of the Southern people, but he
was not in any sense as great a soldier as
LoNGsTREET or JOHNSTON. The former
was worthy second to LEE, and his corps
the backbone of the Confederacy. The St.
Louis Republican says: 1t is a curious
fact that the typical Puritan of the war be-
longed to the south, and not to the north:
that he was born and reared in Virginia.
not in Massachusetts. For of all the men
who gained distinction in camp or cabinet
during those four dismal years, none was so
thoroughly typical Puritan as THOMAS
JONATHAN JACKSON. His proper place
would seem TO have been I'm the middle of
the seventeenth century rather than in the
middle of the nineteenth; and i'm character.
creed and conduct he was certainly in much
closer sympathy with the stern heroes who
''hewed the throne to a block" than with
any of his colleagues or contemporaries.
He would, had he lived in that dav. have
stood side by side with ELIOT and PyN in
parliament, and when peaceful discussion
had been exchanged for the arbitrament of
the sword he would have prayed and
fought with CROMWELL. He was essen
tally Cromwellian, and as completely so
as a different age and different circum-
stances would permit. No one can read his
private letters, or even his official REPORTS.
without being struck with the strong resem-
blance between two persons so widely sep
alated; between the plain country gentle
man OF Hm1 ngdon, and the. il possible,
palmer professor in the Virginia Military
academy. They were cast in the same men
tai and spiritual mould; and though the
former. unlike the latter, combined genins
for craftsmanship with a genius of war, we
may trace in both those distinctive features
which the world calls ''Cromwellian."
The abilities of neither were sus-
pected until great emergencies revealed
them, and when the revelation came

An Aged MANS Morr;.oa

A special from Baltimore saws: An in
quest of lunacy is now pending in Carroll
county which promises to become one of
the celebrated cases of the state. Joshua
Sellman is wellknown farmer, who lives
near Westminster, He has a number
OF large farms, and for twenty
years he has been the largest
stOck-raiser in the neighborhood. He is re-
puted to be worth nearly $500, 900. In 1871
his wife died, and the old gentleman ap-
peared to be inconsolable. About veal
ago, although he was then 81 years of age,
he married woman of 20. The marriage
caused great indignation among his chill
dren, eight in number the oldest of whom
has reached the age of SO years.
Mr.. Sellman, shortly after his second
marriage, sold some of his real estate and
purchased house in Westminster and has
been living there since that time Last
year he made deed to his wife of the
town residence, and in January being de-
sirOus of selling a farm of 500 acres, he
conveyed it to Charles r. Relfsnider in
trust to be sold. Mr.. Relfsnider was to
pay to to Mrs. Sellman So, GOO of the pro-
ceeds in lien of her dover interest therein.
Mr.. Relfsnider advertised the prop
erty, but before the sale arrived some of
the children of Mr.. Sellman filed a bill in
equity enjOining the trustee from selling
the property, and praying the court to set
aside the deed of the town property to his
wife and the deed of trust to Mr.. Relf-
snider. To this bill the defendant de-
INJURED, and the demurrer was sustained
by the court. The case was taken to the
court of appeals and the Judgment of the
court below was affirmed.
Yesterday John b. 7. Sellman, son, and
Isaac w. Buckingham and wife, son-in-Iaw
and daughter of Joshua Sellman, filed their
petition, asking an inquest to have their
aged father declared lunatic and a COM
mittee appointed to take charge of his per-
sonal property. The effort to establish
the old gentleman's mental failings is not
apt to be successful, as he is hale and
hearty. He says that he thinks he has as
much right to a wife as anyone. He Is
first cousin of the CAROLS of Carrollton.
