Would Prefer Hayes 10 Fllden.


From the Vicksburg (Mass.) Herald March 4.


There are many persons who believe
that Mr.. TildenI would not and could
not have done as much for the South as
Mr.. Hayes has done, and that even
if he could have done more he would
have lacked the inclination. There is
good deal of feeling in some portion
of the South against certain class OF
Nor .hern Democrats who entertain us
with gush, and Mr.. TiIden is strongly
suspected of belonging to this class.
While We will not assert that there has
been much kicking in the Democratic
traces, We know great many
Southern Democrats have no very
high esteem for the class We have hint
ed at above, and we have heard people
" no have been accustomed to vote the
Democratic ticket say that Hayes was
decidedly preferable to Tilden,and that
| II in the coming race the same opposing
tickets should te in the field, - in
1875, they would prefer Hayes. 1t will
be some tins yet before the National


Democratic Convention will meet, but
it might be we'll for Mr.. Tilden's exact
standing to be known before he is
again thrust upon the Democratic Par
ty as a candidate for the Presidency.

not enter into the details of each and eyery
question; there are committees to which
they are relegated for full and careful con-
sideration. When their reports are returned,
if there is anything which demands discus
sion, we can discuss it. But let us put aside
any trivial parliamentary form. We are rep
resentatives of great old race. [Applause. I
Much has been done in the way Of coloniza-
ton in the past to encourage us and show
that something more can be done. It has
been said that Irishmen IN the East would
not 60 West. They have gone. It has
been said, "They will not till the land.'
They have done it. They have gone from
the factories and dock-yards of the Eastern
States and become practical farmers. Let
us have faith in our people. They are only
too willing to make homes for themselves.
Here is q literal fact demonstrated by ex-
perience-that among those who have come
from the mines and workshops of the East,
not single person has been dissatisfied with
the West. applause You have, then,
plenty of material to deal with. Have faith
in the people. Do what you can, what God
will inspire you to do, and, as I have before
said, from this morning new era will dawn
for us in America. Loud applause.

Chicago Excited Over Reported Cable

Globe of that city, to the effect that cattle ex-
ported in the steamer Brazilian, had, upon ar
rival at Liverpool, been found to be suffering
from p'euro pneumonia, and had been
slaughtered. It said also that most of the
shipment was from Chicago. The truth of the
report is doubted. and certainly as to the asser-
ton that cattle exported from Chicago had
pleuro pneumonia, as there has never been a
trace of that disease found within this cattle
district. 1t is thought this is part of the Cana

any diseased cattle have been exported from

The extra session of Congress has not
thus far been sufficiently remarkable, either
in point of partisanship or eloquence to ex-
cite anybody's alarm. The "Southern briga-
diers' from whom the Republicans feared
such terrible things, have not shown them
selves to be extraordinarily desperate fellows
but have settled down into their places in 8
quiet and orderly manner, just as if they
had no intention of raising Cain at all. In
the Senate they have all been assigned to
their places on the committees, and are wait.
ing for something in the way of legislation
to turn up about which they can employ
themselves. Their associates, Republicans
as we'll as Democrats, do not look upon them
as ogres, but as gentlemen, and they have
50 conducted themselves during the few DAYS
they have been in Washington as to win
the esteem of all with whom they have come
in contact.


The utter folly of the great hue and cry
that was raised by the partisan press during
and since the last campaign will be apparent
to every man of sense. The Southern mem
bers and Senators have conducted them.
selves during the past few sessions with
greater moderation than was expected. They
have borne the taunts of their opponents
with calmness, and only in cases of extreme
3rovocation have they retorted in any but
the most temperate language. Among 80
many it was remarkable that there were so
few hot-heads, and that SO little of discord
has been manifested-so few local jealousies
brought to the surface. The bitterest con-
troyersies have been between Northern men,
who have assumed the duty of regulating
the affairs of the country after their own no.
tions, and who, to obtain partisan advan-
tage, have deliberately provoked sectional
dispute. Beside the sectional hatred of
Blaine and Edmunds, the broad patriotism
of nine tenths of the Southern members has
been gloriously bright.


It is folly to fear for the country on &C.
count of the preponderance of the sSouth-
ern brigadiers" in Congress. Whatever
they may have been in the past-rebels and
aliens, perhaps they have returned repent
ant; and have shown fruits meet for repent
ance. Until they shall have committed some
act to prove the insincer1ty of their profess
sions we are bound to believe them honora-
BILE in their intentions. As yet they have
given no such evidence. It is therefore very
foolish to cry before you are hurt.

State of Minnesota VS.. Adolph Graffmiller.


Syllabus-In criminal prosecution for vio-
lating provision in the charter of the city of
Northdeld against selling spirituous liquors in
said city, the justice in entering the action in
his docket erroneously entitled it in favor of
the city instead Of the State as plaintiff. Held
The error was an irregularity that did not affect
the jurisdiction of the justice nor prejudice
the defendant as the proceedings themselves
asserted, fully described the real parties
and the nature Of the action. Jurisdiction to
issue warrant acquired by duly verified
complaint in writing, charging an offense in
direct and positive terms, is not lost by proof
upon the trial, that the complainant had no
knowledge of the commission of the offense,
except upon information and belief. No point
made upon the evidence can be considered
when the whole of the evidence bearing upon
the point does not appear to be refunded.

to the smallest body which could be
seen in good telescope as shooting
star, if by chance it passed athwart the

say that, roughly, about million

AS almost all these bodies enter the

the majority of these meteoric visitants
may be, the very least of them striking
man or animal in any vital spot would
cause death But fortunately we are
protected from ali risks of this sort by a
very efficient shield---the soft and yield
ing air, the resistance of which turns all
save the largest meteors into vapor be-
fore they have penetrated even its outer
most layers.


From long and intricate series of
calculations it is then shown that in u
million and a half years hence, every

downfall. This patent groping after
facts illustrates the habits of devoted
SCIENTISTS and the results achieved are

Writing on this topic in Scribner for
May, DR.. Holland saws:


The average playwright has a fixed
opinion that certain definite appeals must
be made TO the groundlings to produce
successful play. There must be coarse
ness or profanity, or the halfdisguised OBJ
sCenity that can be put forth in double
entente, or else the great multitude will
not be satisfied. AS a consequence of
this many ladies do not dare to go to the
theater, or 10 take their children there.
There is no question that these objection
able elements in plays have kept many
more people are pleased with, both in the
ictions Of the book and of the stage.


We have had lyrical comedy running
in all the theaters of the country during
The last season -" Her Majesty's ship
Pinafore which will illustrate part Of
what we mean. Since we began TO OBJ
serve theaters at all, nothing has had such
arun OF popularity as this. Young and
old, ricn and poor, have been amused by
it, and there is not a word in it, from be-
ginning to end, that can wound any SEN
sibiliy. 1t is piece of delicious absur-
dity all through, and a man can enjoy
two hours OF jollity in witnessing it, which
will not leave stain upon him anywhere.
1t is simply delightful-pure fun-and
the most popular thing that has appeared
on the stage for the last ten years. We
call attention to it specially to show that
iun, when it is pure, is more popular
thousand times than when it is not.
Nothing can be more evident TO any man
oicommon sense than that any admix-
ture OF unworthy elements in this play IS
true OF any and every play. There is no
apology whatever for making the stage
impure. Even vulgar people do not
seek the sage for impurity. They seek
Tor pleasure, and they find the purest
plays the most satisfactory, provided only
Ihat the pleasure giving element is in
mem. A playwright who is obliged to
resort 10 coarse means 10 win the ap-
piause of coarse men, convicts himself
OF lack of capacity for writing a good

as she was to live with the new family,
she wanted to be sure about the conve-

much done to this house, all she wanted
was the rent cut down one-half, the roof
