1t seems not improbable when the
ODDS ana ends picked up in Washing
ION are put together that the Cleveland
administration will have more TO fear
rom divided and disgruntlcd party
IN Congress than from the Republican
senate. Perhaps it is not generally
known, or, If known, believed, that
actual steps have already been taken
oy democratic members Of both houses
10 organize and strengthen an opon
opportunity to the administration. Yet
sucll Is the fact. A Democratic Scna.
tor from the South is authority for the
statement that not only will tho Prcsi-
oeht 1all tar short of the support of his
party in the Senate, but that he will
not nave more than respectable
negative minority in the House of
representatives. He was asked but
declined to give the names of the
Senators, on the ground that it looked
IKE threatening the President This
IL was not desirable to do. The oppo.
sluon would quickly develop. 1t would
extend to both houscs-in fact, be the
more serious in the lower house. To
ADOPT his own manner of putting the
case}~ "Fhc administration has got
along all summer by snubbing Con
GrcssmeD; Congress- will snub the
administration"
"What position does Mr.. Hendricks
occupy in this movements"
VI am not at liberty to speak for Mr.,
licndrlcks. lie is in active sympathy
with tho Democratic party. On politi-
| cal quesuorS there never was any
doubt about Mr.. Hendricks. He is
NOT muSWump, nor is there ANYTHING
IN ms character or record to indicate
that ne Will be sWcrved from party
tcalty by smiles or from the White
House. MIR. Cleveland docs not rep
resent the Democratic party. Mr..
Hendricks does. If popular yotc
were taken to-day, Mr.. Hendricks

as Il rule, speak very gloomiiy of the
future of the party. Some of them
swear revenge for real or fancicd
sights growing ont of the distribution
Of the offices. The "oflensivc partisan"
policy meets with the most general
opposition and disgust. 1t is safe TO |
assume on all the evidence to be gath
cred here THAI not less than four-titths
OF the old line Democrats consider il q
mistak kc to require charges for the re,
moval OF Republican of!icer-holdcr.
All this is to come up this winter and

Is more threatening as we get along
and to which some think the Indian

The Letter Which He Wrote When tho
General Was So Low In April. ~


The Boston Globe prints the follow.
ing letter from Jefferson Davis, wired
April 4, when the death of General
Grant was expected at any hour. A
part of the letter was stolen from the
wires at the sine and sent to various
papers. Afterwards q denial that Mr..
Davis had ever said ANYTHING i'm praise
of Grant was published. During all
this time the Globe said nothing, as the
matter was obtained under promise
that no part of it should be printed
until General Grant was dead.
New ORLEANS, April 4, 1885. "The
following was received by your cor
respondent to-day from Jefferson
Davis:
"BEAUvoR, Miss, April 2, 1885.
"SIR: Your letter asking me to
give my views on the subject of Gen
eral Grants military career has been
received. With most respectful con-
sideration for YOU and the influential
paper you represent, | must decline
to comply with the request for the fol-
lowing reasons: General Grant is re,
ported dying. Although he invaded
our country with ruthloss track it was
with open hand, and, so far as know
he abcttcd neither pillagc nor arson.
When his armies were so successful
that General Lees army had not even
the power further to retreat, General
Grant gave terms both liberal and
courteous, and has since the war, |
believe, shown no malignilv nor per-
pctualcd SANDER against tie Confcd-
crates, either Of the military nor civil
service. Therefore instead of seeking
to disturb the quiet Of his closing hours
l would, if it were in my bower, will
ingly contribute to .hc rcposc of his
mind and comfort Of his body.

provoke the Almighty's wrath or the
wrath of their neighbors; but, never
thcless, the very rocks of the earth
seem to isc up to fall on them and
houses. This wonderful phenomenon
OF rocks falling has been going on in
that locality at intervals for more than
ten days, and people from five, ten aud
fifteen miles around gather there to
witness it. The rocks arc flint and
vary from the size of an egg to the
size OF ones head. A pccuiarity about
them is that they have fallen on several
persons without giving any hurt or
pain to them. Numbers of white men
who have hootcd at the idea have
visited the place and come away con-
vinced that the rocks do fall. At first
the negroes thought it was somebody
rocking their houses and would run to
thickct near by, but they could sec
no one. AT last they concluded to put

dropped all the same, they reported it

Sherman and Fitz HugI
Lee.


A great hue-and-cry has been
raised by the supporters of the adj
ministration because Senator Sler-
mar Of Ohio, in his recent speeches,
has protested against the injustice
of the methods by which 100000
of people in the Southern states are
practically disfranehised, while they
are counted in the LaSis of represen-
tatiou in congress aud in the cleo
toral colleges.
For referring to this subject Mr..
Sherman is tainted with "reviving
the issues Of the war;" and with
"waying the bloody shirt Some pro-
fessedly Republican journals have
joined in this silly and dishonest criti-
cism. The issue raised by Senator
sherman has no connection with the
war, but relates to an exciting and
monstrouS injustice which is bound
to be discussed until it is remedied.
While senator Sherman is thus
attacked, the newspapers that censure
himraiseuoobjections to the methods
adopted by Fit Hugh Lee in his
canvass for governor Of Virginia.
He is making q tour through the
state on horseback and adore sing
meetings. From place to place he
is accompanied 10y a cayalcade of his
old comrades in the Confederate

following States.the following vote
in ronnd numbers: In Iowa, 1900;
Mississippi, 700; Georgia, 200.
Arkansas, so far as known, not a
single vote. In about one-half :he
States of the Union the third party
party vote did not average 1000 to
a State. Whether fanatics will see
it or not, this state of things demon
strates that the true and tried friends
of temperance are not rallying
around the standard of this new
party. And the reasons for this is
obvious enough. They do not be-
lieve that this new departure is
called for, and they lack confidence
in the men who are managing it.
We have had a striking illustration
of the weakness of this movement
here in Chicago within a few
months past. 1t would probably be
safe to say that there are in this city
NOR than 10000 citizens who are 10
favor of prohibition and ready to use
all reasonable and practical means
to cur its uccess. AT the recent
mayoralty election more than $4,000.
votes were cast. Of these a Yeput-
able citizen, who was the nominee
of the third party, received about
200, or less than one in 400 of the
ballots cast. This pitiful showing
emboldens TIE whisky party, belittles
the cause of prohibition in the pub
lie estimation, and disheartens the
most sincere friends of temperance.
Meantime the leaders of the move
ment are fertile in expedients = to
keep up the courage of their fol
lowers. We are told from one quart
er that the new party is about to
cast 100, 600 votes in Ohio, aud from
another that the Republicans have
secured their last triumph in the
state of New York. One sapient
candidate for office gravely an.
nounses that if all the friends of pro-
hibition in the State in which he
lives would vote for him he would
be elected. To this a newspaper
mar replies: "Thiss reminds us of
the fellow who said, Did / ever tel

We were all told when we were

the new departure compare them

band of 300-every one of whom

whose presence the hosts of INDIAN

parison fails at every essential point,
and therefore illustrates nothing.
We are utterly without evidence
that the Lord has commissioned St,
John q Co. for the work in which
they are engaged, and all their blow
ing and shouting fails to carry con
.sternation into the ranks of the
enemy. It may be that and over
whelming majority of the friends of
temperance are laundering in this
matter. 1t may be that wisdom has
forsaken them to find her home
with the "remnaat," if so the. cause
of prohibition is doomed to. wander
for more than forty years in the will

THE denial by Southern Demo
Gratis that the Republican and color,
ed vote of the South was suppressed
at the Presidential election is absurd
as it is impudent. The returns of
the Southern vote as canvassed show
that in some Of the States it was less
than the number of white voters,
and in none of the States was the
total vote much greater than the
white vote Figures won't lie, but
Southern Democratic politicians will.
