A Sea of Fire.

A sea of phosphorescent fire extending
as far as the eye could reach, was passed on
Tuesday week, 1876 miles east by north of
Cape Henlopen, by the Allan line steam
ship Manitoban, from Glasgow, now lying
at Philadelphia. Capt. Dunlop gives the
following description of the phenomenon ::
"Early on Tuesday night the heavens sud-
denly became overcast and intensely dark,
and left the bridge temporarily, leaving
second officer johnson in charge. l bad
hardly reached the chart room when the cry
of fire was announced on the starboard bow
and I found the sea to be like mass of
fame, presenting scene of sublime grand
eur, Whenever a sea broke over the bow
of the vessel the drops Of fire spread over
the rigging and decks like the embers Of a
genuine confagration where sparks were
driven by strong wind. Everywhere on
the decks were found tiny sparkling phos-
phorescent beads which did not disappear
until the next morning. For two hours the
vessel was steaming through this sea of fire,
causing considerable alarm to many of the
superstitious sailors and passengers. In the
distance the sea appeared to be breaking on
strand, but a dip of the log without find
ing bottom indicated that shoal water was
not near at hand" This unusual phenome
non has caused considerable interest among
scientific men, similar sea having been
seen several months ago in the bay of Ben
gal which has puzzled the learned heads of
Europe. An elaborate report will be pre-
pared for the photographic Office.

WashingtOn's Inauguration.

The following address was presented to
General George Washington by the people
of Alexandria, soon after his departure from
Mount Vernon, on his journey to New York,
in April 1885,
To George Washington, Esquire, President
the United States, &c., Sc:
Again your country demands your care.
Obedience in its wishes-unmindfu Of your
own ease, we see you again relinquishing
the bliss of retirement; and this too, at a
period of life, when nature itself seems to
authorize preference of repose.
Not to extol your glory as soldier, not
to pour forth our gratitude for past SER
vices; not to acknowledge the justice of the
uuexampled honor which has been con-
ferred upon you, by the spontaneous and
unanimous suffrage of three million of free
men, in your election to the Supreme Mag
istracy; not to admire the patriotism which
directs your conduct, do your neighbors and
friends now address you. Themes less
splendid, but moro endearing, impress our
minds. The first and best of citizens must
leaves usl Our aged must lose their orna-
ment! Our youth their model Our agri-
culture its improver! Our commerce its
friend! Our infant academy its patron! Our
poor their benefactor! Aud the interior
navigation of the Potomac, an event replete
with the most extensive utility, already, by
your unremittsd exertions, brought into
partial nse-its institutor and promoter!
Farewell. Go-and make grateful peo-
pie happy-a people, who will be doubly
grateful, when they contemplate this re-
cent sacrifice for their interest.
To that Being, who maketh and unmak-
eth at his will, we commend you; and after
the accomplishment of the arduous bust
ness to which you are called, may He re-
store to US again the best of Men, and the
most beloved Fellow Citizen.
In behalf of the people of Alexandria,

Southern Republicans Want Offices-COm
plain of not Getting Them.

The Southern Republicans are deeply
complaining that they are not getting their
share of the Offices. Even the Valley Vir-
g,nian cannot restrain its impotence, or
withhold its expression of complaint and
says that the Southern Republicans "want
the offices and want them badly and says
that, ''take away the Offices and political
life would be dreary and not worth living,
and that elf they Southern Republicans)
are not recognized as having equal rights
iu the party with the Republicans of other
States, there ought to be plain statement
to that effect" 1t goes in without qualifi-
cation for the spoils and the endorsement
of the spoils system, and says that "Flanna-
gan struck the keynote and won immortali-
ty when famed out in the Chicago conven-
ton of 1880 the talismanic words, "What
are we here for if not for the ofices?" From
the "Valley Virginian" of the 9th instant,
we make the following extracts
"The South has bee thus far practically
ignored in all the more important positions.
Out OF the IA Southern states it has not
been thought proper to give any prominent
appointment, except two or three second
rate consulships."
"The delay in making appointments to
the local offices and the more fragrant neg
lect manifested in other appointments not
of local character. have not been calcula-
ted to enthuse Southern Republicans. If
they are not recognized as having equal
rights in the party with the Republicans of
other States there ought to plain state.

"Flannagan struck the keynote and won
Immortality, when he famed out in the Chi
cago convention of 1880 the talismanic
words "What are we here for if not for the
offices ?"
Inspiration itself could not have uttered
more patriotic sentence. and from that
time on Flanagan has been cannonized
and the sentiment 80 grandly declared, has
been the shibboleth of suffering patriots
from all sections and all convictions. Take
away the offices and political life would be
dreary and not worth living. Were it not

wAsHINGToN's ANSWER.
To the Mayor, Corporation, and Citizens o
Alexandria,:

To the Mayor, Corporation, and Citizens of
Alexandria:
Gentlemen: Although ought not to coz
ceal, yet cannot describe the painful emo.
tions which l felt, in being called upon to
determine whether l would accept, or re-
fuse toe Presidency of the United States.
The unanimity in the choice-the opinion
of my friends communicated from different
parts Of Europe, as well as America-the
apparent wish of those who were not en-
tirely satisfied with the Constitution in its
present form, and an ardent desire, on my
own part, to be instrumental in conciliating
the good will of my countrymen towards
each other, have induced an acceptance
Those who know me best (and you, my fell
low. citizens, are, from your situation, in
that number) know better than any others,
my love of retirement is SO great, that no
earthly consideration, short of q conviction
of duty. could have prevailed upon me to
depart from my resolution, "never more to
take any share in transactions Of public
nature"
For, az my age, and in my circumstances,
what possible advantage could propose tC
myself, from embarking again on the tenn
pestuors and uncertain ocean of public
life?
l do not feel myself under the necessity
of making public declarations in order to
convince you, Gentlemen, of my attachment
to yourselves, and regard for your interests
The whole tenor of my life has been open tc
your inspection: Aud my past actions, rath
er than my present declarations, must be
the pledge for my future conduct.
In the mean time, l thank you most sin
cerely for the expressions of kindness con
tanned in your valedictory address. 1t is
true, just after having babe adieu to my
domestic connections, this tender proof Of
your friendship is but too we'll calculated
still further to awaken my sensibility, and
increase my regret, at parting from the en-
joyments of private life.
All that now remains for me is to commit
myself and you to the protection of thai
Benefcent Being who on former occasion
hath happily brot us together, after a long
and distressing separation. Perhaps tie
same gracious Providence will again indulge
US with the Inc heartfelt felicity. Blu;
words, my Fellow Citizens, fail me. Tn.
utterable sensations must then be left to
more expressive silence, while, from an ach
ing heart, bid you all, my affectionate
Friends and kind Neighbours, farewell

The SCoTcH-IRIsH CoNGREss.-It is, per-
haps, not literally scientific to speak of the
''Scotch-Irish race" The people so called
have never been strictly differentiated from
others of kindred descent. Their history
was never written and their chronological
origin has never been clearly traced. That
there was commingling with the Scotch
and Irish Celts in the north of Ireland is
we'll known. That their descendants after
ward occupied part of Scotland is also es-
tablished, but beyond this little can be def
initely stated.
The people called Scotch Irish, however,
have played a very important in the prog
ress of civilization. They have emigrated
TO every part of the known world, and are
remarkable for their thrift, intelligence,
and rugged manhood. In America, especi-
ally has their Influence been felt in mark
ed degree, not alone in building up the in
situations Of political government, but in
educational, journalistic, and professional
fields as well.-Bahimore Herald.

Mr.. j. R. Tucker has written an able
opinion of President Cleveland's veto Of
the direct land tax bill, in which he makes
it appear that. the bill was constitutional
and should have been approved. he con.
cludes his opinion as follows =
''These criticisms on the Presidents
message are made with great respect for
his motives as we'll as for his understanding.
But he had not examined the question in
the aspects herein presented, or he could
not have come to the conclusion to veto the
bill. In fine, the question is, Is it-can it
be-unconstitutional to restore taxes I'm.
constitutionally collected from the people?
Is it not unconstitutional to retain them?
and is it not constitutional duty to return
what has been oxacted in violation Of the
Constitution? If these questions be answer
ed as has been demonstrated they should
be, they show the justice and constitution
atty of the bill, and the injustice and an
constitutionality of its rejection. 1t must
be constitutional and right to return this
money, because it is unconstitutional and
wrong to retain it."

In consequences of southern competition,
the Thomas Iron Company of Pennsylvania
have announced reduction of one dollar 3
ton in the price of their iron. Southern
iron, in consequence of the superior natural
facilities for making it. possessed By its
manufacturers, can be delivered proitably
in the North so much cheaper than north
ern iron-makers can afford to sell their
product, that the South must soon attract
to herself all the iron manufacturers of this
country. Owing to the extraordinary facil-
tiles referred to. iron can be made in the
South as cheaply as abroad, and were il
not for the tariff, which heretofore enabled
northern iron manufacturers to carry on a
profitable business even with the heavy
odds nature imposes on them, all the iron
manufacturers CT the north would long
since have moved their plants to the south,
in order to reap the benefits of the facili.
ties their southern rivals enjoy.-Alerandria

A WING OF 1840.-The Washington cor
respondent of the ''Alexandria Gazette"
under date of the Sth instant, says:
"Among the strangers in the city to-day
is exit. Governor Thomas, of Virginia.
While the Governor was talking with an
acquaintance in the Metropolitan Hotel an
other elderly gentleman approached him
and asked him if he was not Harrison man
in 1910 The Governor replied that he was,
and that he and Henry A. Wise had carried
the banner of the Virginia wings at the
grand demonstration in Baltimore, when
the orator who received them said he had
expected to see the mountains and plains
of Virginia send their sontingents, but he
was surprised to behold the avalanche of
wings that had come from the old Domin-
ion. The old gentleman replied to the eff
feet that the Governor ought to be Repub-
can now. ''My dear sir" responded the
Governor, ''if you knew the character of
the men who manage the Republican party
in Virginia and the dangers that would re-
suit to the State from giving such men con-
troll of her affairs, you would not be sur
prised at my voting with the democratic
party The old gentleman's reply was,
"Oh, I know all about negroes, and am
opposed to putting them over white peo-
ple."
