Last week we made a short remark upon the refunding of the cotton tax, which, it seems has conveyed to our able and highly esteemed contemporary the Gazette, the idea that we are antag- ouized to an effort in this direction Our confrere can see, if ne will read our article cal efully, that this construc- tion of our article does Us injustice, and mis-states our position. The Gazette is no more anxious to see the South get full and exact justice from the general government than we are, and will be no more highly felicitated to see this cotton tax refunded than we will. Our position was not against the pro- priety of making an effort to secure a return of this money ;-we merely ex- pressed our doubts as to the practica- bility of procuring a refunding act so as to meet the full ends of justice.

 You see thing may be entirely right and proper and still impracticable. In our former article we expressed our fears that such might be the case, in a great measure, with the refu lding of the cotton tax.

In concluding an address to the stu dents of University College Uondon) Prof. Tyndall, who is unquestionbly one of the most indefatigable brain workers of our century said "take care of your health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat; what can he do there but by the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Take care of the timbers of your boat.' The distinguished scientists advice is equally valuable to all workers. We are apt to devote all our energies to wielding the oars, our strokes fall firm

The attitude in which Russia and Turkey stand toward each other now precludes all doubt about war between them. The decree for the mobilization of Russia's active and territorial armies and their respective reserves, has been issued. Present appearances indicate a determination on the part of other leading powers in Europe to preserve a strict neutrality. While the Turks have the advantage of being on the de- fensiye, there can be but mere ques- tion of time about it when the fate of Mahomedanism in Turkey will be seal ed, and the Cross shall overshadow the Crescent.

There IS n party in this country which
proposes to undo the work OF the Fathers,
to incorporate the religious creed OF Il
portion of the people into the Cunstitu-

State were weddrd." The creed which
this party proposes to inject into the

words acknowledging Almighty God
as the Source of all authority and power
in civil government, the Lord Jesus
Christ as the ruler among the nations and
his revealed will us ofsupreme authority,
in order to constitute the Christian gov

This article is already so long that we
must not enter now upon any further ar

we firmly believe to be suhversive Of Re-

the more the subject is discussed the
more clearly will it be made to appear
that the project is inimcal alike to

The unfortunate death Of young Hatcher
from the accidental explosion Of q gun
brings to my mind suggestion which |
have long purposed to make. 4 gun should
always be carried with the muzzle so ele-

sion would do no harm. I frequently see
persons passing the streets with guns so

doubtless unloaded; but passengers, not
knowing the fact, are often made uneasy
or put to inconvenience to escape danger.
have frequently been compelled,to change
my course to avoid having gun pointed
directly at my head. My suggestion is that
our city fathers shall pass an ordinance to
fine persons who carry firearms carelessly
in the streets. Prudent men will not do it,
and the reckless should be compelled by
law to avoid it. II our city government
will in this matter have just regard to the

lively as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. A cor siderable storm OF snow,
while calculated to enliven the young folks,
who are prepared for it with their young,

to be considered attractive to the elder por-

New-Year's day was celebrated at Pine.
Street Baptist church by pound-party for
the benefit of the poor Of the church. A
large quantity Of articles, principally food
and clothing, were contributed, and much
suffering will thereby be relieved.


There are many worthy families, white
and black, in this city, in great destitution.
The amount Of suffering relieved by church
and benevolent organizations is known to
but few outside Of the active workers in
the cause Of practical charity. 1t is very
great, but they cannot do all that is neces-
sary. Not only are there many without
fuel or proper clothing, but without food.

said, but the problem is, how to get West

facilities of any kind to move. 1t costs some

something to have land entered. 1t costs
something to carry men and families to the

up locations for the people who are willing to

they want in a State or community which
cannot sustain it. Talk and scold as you will,

nothing in it. Therefore, the surplus of labor
must go where it can find employment, in
stead of demanding impossible things from
communities which are not able to supply it.

From the Youngstown Register and Tribune.


The Vindicator finds fault with us because
we stand by Hayes in his policy of reconcile
alton and in his appointment of Key to the
Cabinet at the same time we condemn the
choice of a man as School Commissioner who
was educated in Ohio and took up arms to
assail the Union. Burns, the Democratic NOM

schen he d7riued at manhood he uent South,
Joined the rebel armies, and led a regiment in
the conflict. The story comes to us, too, from
the neighborhood of his early life and present
residence, that he was not only thus false to
his country, but true to his traitorous in
stincts, deserted the colors he swOre to fol-
low and betrayed the Confederacy, to serve
which he became traitor to his country.
Guilty of a two fold treason, he is upheld by
the Vindicator as a worthy head of the public
schools of Ohio. With such record he is
expected to direct the youth Of the State in
the paths of patriotism and honor.


This man Burns is not entitled for q mo-
ment to be compared with man like Key.
The one was educated to the principle of
Union and betrayed it, the other was taught
to believe in State rights and stood by his
early training, and no doubt honest convic-
tions. The one was a traitor and a rebel in
the light of circumstances that ought to have
made him known better, the other was q
traitor and a rebel because of an education
and of surroundings that excuse, while they
do not justify the crime. The one was incon-
sistent be-ause if he believed in the doctrine
of State rights, he ought to have went as
Ohio weat, but he betrayed his own professed
political faith by fighting through sheer love
of rebellion for the overthrow of the Repub-
lie, but Key was consistent, he followed his
State and joined the Confederacy because he
had adopted theory that he owed to Tennes-
see his first and only allegiance.


Northern Democrats like Burns and the
runners of the Vindicator need not expect
that the policy of peace and reconciliation has
any application to their.

Gentleman says: ..Planters are often disap-
pointed. after having set out fine fruit garden
of large and small fruits, to find, after lapse
of years, that their supplies have been dmin-
ished, and some of their favorites have run
out" They make the mistake in supposing
that fruit garden, once well under way, does
not need frequent renewing. The best culti-
vators make additions or requirements every
year, or every few years at farthest. When
not to bate, every owner may do well to look
over his grounds and see what he can add in
the fall OF spring. He is correct, as no place
is ever finished" as regards the garden, its
fruits, and its surroundings A few trees are

a choice grape vine or two are needed; or

Mr.. Redfield, In letter to the Gin
ciunati Commercial, warns the Re-
publicans that it will not do to trust
to Providence too often, and that un-
less they improve their present op-
portunity it will be their last one.
He says "The devil and the De-
mocracy may get them next time
without further Intervention of
Providence, unless the promised re-
forms are carried into effect. Never
had "a party better opportunity to
redeem itself and build upon an en-
during foundation. The seat of po-
litical power is in the North, and a
majority of the voters of every
Northern State prefers the Republic
can party as long as it behaves itself.
If the incoming Administration full
fills the expectations of the country,
the party will be invincible in 1880.
1t is very much easier for the Re-
publican party to remain IN power
than for the Democracy to get in.
Those who doubt that God rules in
the affairs of men, who do not be-
lieve that the Creator exercies power
over the thing created, but leaves all
to blind chance, must at least admit
that luck is sadly against the Democ-
racy. Last December they had four
teen points in their favor where the
Republicans had one. Yet, either
by Divine guidance or superior
craftsmanship, the Republicans have
won every single disputed point,and
