Tho National Democratic Committee intt th Wi.laril'a Hall, Washington, 1). 0., last Monday to select a place and appoint a tlmo fr holding thoNatlonal Democratic, Con tlon.

Cincinnati was chosen as the place, and dune 22nd, the time for holding tho convention. Tho committee has Isjied the following : Tho National Democratic committee me in tho city of Washington on the 2"d February, 18S0, and has appointed Tuesday tho 22nd day of June next, as the lime, and chosen the oily of Cincinnati as the place uf holding the Natlonil Democratic Cornell' tlon.

The committee on civil servico relorm l the House yesterday adopted and will booh report one of tho most important bills ol the session. The idea of the bill is to give aDy one having or thinking he has a claim against the government a chance to have iu merits tested judicially. He may go with it to the court of claims, and he or the gov ernment may appeal to the Supremo Couri of the United States. No amount claimed, however, shall be paid, unless, after the ac tion of the court, Congress shall approvi that action. This bill, if made a law, will protect the government, givo satisfaction to the claimants, and settle one of tho vexed questions of the day. As presented by Mr. O'Connor, of South Carolina, the bill may need amendment income particular, but the principle is right and the bill will prob ably, in due time, bo passed. It is of in terest to hundreds of people from Maine to California. No claims barred by the stat ute of limitations can bo presented under provisions of the bill. The Democratic Committee did well yts terday in selecting Cincinnati as its place of meeting. ' It did not quite come up to th requirements of the occasion iu the matWr of time, as an earlier day in June would have been, I think, to the advantage ol the party. But that is a minor error. To se lect a place was the important matter. The city chosen is free from the objections to be urged against New York, Washiugton. St. Louis, or Chicago. As to candidates it has absolutely no significance. It was not chosen for tho benefit of Tildcn, Seymour, Thurman, Hendricks, Hancock, Palmer or any of the others whose claims are urged. There will be reported tu tho House this week a bill appropriating J300.000 for the relief of people in Ireland who are suffering for the want of food, It is probable that tli 6 originators of tho measure meant well in introducing it, and the committee iu agreeing to it. I suppose the House will pass it, but the Senate will probably take the sensiblo view that the whole matter had better be left to that inexhaustablo private charity which lias already done so much in the way of subscriptions, Census supervisor nominations will be disposed of in a few days, it is hoped, by the Senate and I wish to put on record a be lief, that the whole affair has been discredi table to both tho administration and to the Senate, The President made a mistake in not appointing them impartially and the Senate in making any fuss over decent nom inations. Hilton. COU.NTV IIOXDS. The government is calling in its bonds bearing over t per cent, interest, and issuing now bonds at a lower irate. Many counties and cities are doing the same thing. Colum bia county has a large amount of outstand ing bonds which bear C per cent, interest. At the time when they were issued money was scarce and it was difficult to put them out at a lower rate. Now, that the hard times are nearly over funds are plenty, and there is no doubt that many people, having capital to invest would be willing to take our bonds at a lower rate. Government -1 per cents, are at a premium, and many municipal bonds are in demand at the same rate Would it not be a wise thing for our coun ty commissioners to call in the G per cents, and issue new bonds at a lower rate ol interest. Edward Herrick, chief clerk iu the Au ditor General's ollice, is named as a candi date for nomination for Auditor General be fore tho Democratic State Convention. He is an able man, and has done good service for the party. Should his name be present ex!, it should receive due consideration. He would make a stiong candidate. A Terrible Crime. Mrs. Clarke, a respectable married lady living In the Garry neighborhood, at Jeller sou, Texas, was brutally outraged and mur dered ou the 22d inst. Three meu were ar rested, and one of them, who confessed tho crime, was horribly mutilated by a mob, His clothing was saturated with coal oil then Bet on fire. He was afterwards hanged. Intense excitement prevailed . A Murderer Makes a Confession. Maucii Chunk, February 23, Joseph Goldberg, iho jealout husband who lhat and killed Edward Mulhearn at Welssport, recently, has made a statement in which ho admits the shootiug, but claims that it was done in a frenzy, after finding Mulhearn at his house. Goldberg will be tried at the April teJm of Court, and his friends are now raising money to pay his expenses. He will be the eleventh inau tried for murder in this county in four years. Seven of these were convicted and hanged. Mack on the Third Term. THE 1-HOIIATIt.n EFFECT OP a violation ov 1MB u vt IlITTUN law or Till. ItEPUULIC. Where tho great Chief Mfcgistrato is vest ed, as ours is, with crent noner liable to gros abuse, If thero is no law or practlco which forbids him to be re-elected, he ran remain in office for llfo as easily as for n term, He has tho appointment of all offi cers, tho making of all public contracts, and a vtto upon all legislation, besides the com mand of the nrmy and navy, fly nn unscru pulous use of these means lie can coerce not only his hordo of Immediate dependents, but ho ran control the corporations and be come the master id' all the ring", put tho business ol all classes under his feet, corrupt tho venal, frighten tho timid, and check all ambitions but his own. He can force the elections of every State he desires to carry by tho bayonets of his army. If that falls, ho can order a false return and pay for it out of tho public treasury. The people would soon perceive opposition to be useless aud accept the situation; elections would be us mere a matter of form us they were in Homo when Biich Couls asNcrjiuiil Doin llian were elected every year under the su pervision of the pretoiiau guards. If tbeso were no more than remote possi bilities, prudence should guard us against them. Hut they are near probabilities; the signs of the times warn us that the peril to our Institutions is imminent; the danger is already on tho wing. It is vain to remind us that the President swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and seo the laws faithfully executed. That Is true, and it is also true that, if there be no perjury In the case of the Constitution, laws and lib erties of the country are safe. Hut the last twenty years have given us ampleproof that an oath is not much restraint upon a Presi dent who is incited by ambition, rapacity or strong party feeling to break it. It is true that this presupposes a people much degenerated and a magistrate animat ed mainly by the vulgar love of power for its sake; but exactly such a conjunction of things has always becu feared with good rea son, and hence comes the desire to put ev ery check on that tendency to "strong gov ernment" which is now manifesting itself in many quarters. What is the remedy ? How shall.wo avert the diro calamities with which we are threat ened? Tho answer comes from the graves of our fathers : liy the frequent election ol new men. Other help or hope for the sal vation of free government there is none un der heaven. If history does not teach this, we have read it all wrong. In the republics of an cient and modern times the chief magistrate was entrusted with only temporary power, and always went out of ofllce at the end of a short period, fixed and prescribed by law or custom. It was this, indeed, which made tho substantial distinction between them and tho monarchies around them. An un punished transgression of the customary limitation was uniformly followed by de struction. Everywhere and always it was the fatal symptom of decay the sure fore runner of ruin. When Cnssar refused to lay down his consulship as his predecessors had done, at the end ot a year, and was re-elect ed time after time with the acquiescense of the Senate and the people, all that was real in Roman freedom ceased to exist. Two republics In France were brought to an end in tho samo way. Napoleon began by being Consul for a term, then was elected for life, and finally became Emperor, with the pow ers of an absolute despot. The last Bona parte was President for four years,, was re elected lor ten, and ended, like his uncle, in grasping the imperial crown. ".May this be washed in the Lethe and forgotten?" iShall these lessons be lost? Shall the lamp which guided our forefathers bo extinguished? Shall the broad daylight of all human experience be closed up in a little daik lantern manufactured at Milwau kee? I think this cannot be done; "the eternal verities" are against it. The most powerful tlilrd-termer may as well try to blow out the sun, as he would a tallow can dle with the breath of his mouth. A third term for Grant does not mean a third term only, but any number of terms that he chooses to demand. The imperial method of carrying all elections by corrup tion or force, or declaring them to be carried when they are not, is to be perma nently substituted for the system of free, popular choice. The figuro of Grant standing with the seal of primacy on the mountain top and looking down on the inhabitants of the plain below, gives a measure of tho elevation which his sycophants flatter him with the hopo of attaining. They urge the necessity of a strong government almost in the very words used by the adherents of Csesar and the two Napoleons. Strong government, in their sense, means weak laws and a strong ruler; in other words, a substantial monar chy, powerful in its scorn of all legal re straints. JudyeJerc lllack in Xorth Ameri can Jit view. Savin; a Woman from the Gallon s. There has been general interest through out this state in the case of Mrs. Catharino ell of Carlisle, sentenced to be hanged for the alleged fatal poisoning of Mrs, Mary Kiehl, 82 years old, who died last May iu a little house iu the outskirts of Carlisle. There was a dispute over a few hundred dollars left by her, a man named Wyukoop claiming that she had verbally willed it to to him. It being lumored that she had died from poison, the body was exhumed and a post mortem made. Suspicion point' ed to Mrs. ltecd, a near relative of the Dis trict Attorney of tho county (Cumberland). Mrs. ell and Wynkoop. The Coroner's lu quest resulted in the arrest of tho two latter. Mrs. Heed testified that three days before Mrs. Kiehl died she and Mrs. ell break fasted with her and drank some collie made by Mrs. Zsll, and that after drinking tho coffee the witness and Mrs, Kiehl were at tacked with severe vomiting. Tho physician who had made the post mortem, although admitting that death might have resvlted from one of many nat ural causes, expressed the opinion as an ex pert that if the analysis of the stomach showed the existence of arsenic, there was good ground for believing death to have re sulted from arsenical poisoning, The anal ysis had been made by a young druggist of little experience who could not tell how much or how little arsenic there was, but the traces of the poison was undoubted, Several highly respectable witnesses tes tified that Mrs. lteeder's reputation for ve racity was so bad that they would not be lieve her under oath, The defenco showed that the deceased woman had threatened to tako her own life, aud that Mrs, ell could not have been In complicity with Wynkoop, because just after Mrs, Kiehl's death, she gavo testimony in opposition to Wynkoop' claim. It was also shown that Mrs. ell could have had no motive for the deed. Judge Herman, a young lawyer of ability, but inexperienced In criminal cases, charged the jury very briefly, leaving the case to them. Tho defence had bceu so aura of ac quittal that they took few exceptions. When the appeal to the Supreme Court was made, meetings of ladles and gentle men were held In several cltlfs for the purpose of giving active assistance to Mrs. Zell's counsel. The latter, In arguing before tho higher tribunal, declared that Judge Herman had misled the jury by mis quoting the testimony of several witnesses In such a manner as to vitlato the whole trial. It nasal'o alleged that tho foreman of the jury had Used an unlawful In fluence to bring about conviction, going so far as to threaten to report to the court n doubting juror, .Iii'tlco Turnkey rendered tho opinion of the Supremo Tribunal, re versing the judgment of tho lower court,aud granting n new trial. Democratic St;itesm;i usli . it Is a fact which not even Republican journals will have the hardihood to dispute that the Democratic party since It has had control of Congress has relieved the country of a large portion of its burden iu the shape of interest on the bonded debt. While the Republicans were In tho majority In the two Houses of Cnugtess, the rate ol Interest paid by tho government was uniformly six per cent, No effort was made lo refund the U, S, bonds at a lower rato until the Dem ocrats obtained c intrul of the Hoii"e of Rep resentatives. No preparation for a reduc tion of the rate of interest was made by the republicans. It remained for the Democrats to take the initiative iu the matter, to pro pose, mature, and carry through Congress the measures which linvo resulted iu saving to the government annually millions of dol lars. To this work of reducing the rale of Interest on tho bonded indebtedness of the Unhid States Democratic statesiiianshl) addressed itself with a patriotic zeal which must command the applause of men uf all parties. Hut there is yet more to b tc- compllshed in this regard. The Represent atives of the Democratic party iu Congress believe that a portion of the bonded debt can be placed at a still lower rato of interest than th lowest now paid by the Jgoverrt- ment. Hence it is proposed that the bonds next to be refuuded shall bear !i per cent. interest. It is confidently believed that a bond bearing this low rate of Interest can be sold at par. This Democratic effort to rt duco the rale of interest on government bonds is simply a fulfillment of tho pledge made to the people in the Democratic plat form ot 1S7II Another feature of the finan cial policy of the Democratic party is tcon oiny in uppinpriations uf the public moneys. This was also promised by the Democracy in their last National platform. At least hundred millions of dollars have been saved by the threo Democratic Congresses since 1870, as is shown by a comparison of tho or diuary expenses of the Government during tho last fin r years with the same during the four years next preceding the recovery if the House of Representatives by .the Demo crats. Tim great service rendered the couii' try by the Democratic party since its resto ration to power in Congress is thus made manifest. The grievous load of taxation which so long oppressed tho life of the peo pie has been gradually but surely alleviated. Labor takes heat t again and cipital seeks new employments. Prosperity smiles where but lately the voice oi want uttered the cry of 'despair. This glad change has come with the advent of Democratic power in the tio Houses of Congress. It did not come whilu the shadow of radicalism yet overhung the halls of the Federal Legisla lure. lUriol. JTcvs from all Around. The. New York Herald relief fund has reached $200,0112,50.

Dec 12, '7'J-ly The Coming Comet' The Astronomer Royal of Eugland in forms the Washington astronomers that a comet ha been seen from the observatory at Capetown, South Africa. The question naturally arises whether this is the great comet whose appearance was announced by Dr. Gould of the Cordoba observatory in South America about a week ago. The fact that Cordoba and Capetown are both iu the Southern hemisphere and in nearly the same latitude, is an argument in favor of that supposition ; but, on the other hand, there seems to be an irreconcilable variance iu the accounts of tho comet's motions, Dr. Gould described his comet as moving northward, while Gill, the South African observer, reports that the comet he sees is moving southward. Neither of thee com et, if there ba two, has yet been seen from any of our observatories. Wo are yet ig norant whether the coming comet is merely telescopic, like that of last year, or one of thoe stupendous naked-eye fellows that iu the ages of superstition was dreaded as por tending great wars. This belief in the bel licose significance of comets is not yet ex tinguished. Probably the majority of un educated persons regarded the comet of 1S11 as a forerunner of the war of 1812 in this country, and of tne thre tremendous dos ing struggles by which Europe finally shook off the grip of Napoleon. Tho great comet of 1 S 13 was near enough to the Mexican war to be regarded by the superstitious as a celestial prognostication; and who does not remember how direful appeaiod tho un paralleled comet of 1S5S, in the days when the po-sibilily of civil war wai on tviry tongui? Thecometof 1801, nearly as huge as its predecessor, seemed, to the supersti tious, a second sign of the great Iratricidal struggle. So the comet of 1875 did not fail to find believers who connected with it the rumblings of coming war in the East, and when, two or three years later, Russia's army marched upon Constantinople, such believers were assured that tho prophecy of the comet had come true. This superstition will probably always linger In the human mind, and should the comet that is now vis ible in the southern heavens sweep Into its perihelion passage around the sun with a train of light stretching halfway across the sky, there will not be persons wanting to point at the now augmenting armaments of the great powers of Europe, and to predict a Bpeedy clash of arms. In this they will have the support of the astrologers. In an astrological almanac published in London, and of great authority among its patrons, there is a pictorial prophecy for the year 1880, in which a helmeted woman armed with a sword, domiuate over a field filled with tramping armies. The publisher pru dently postpones tho letterpress explanation of this formidable picture to next year's almanac. In the mean time those of us whoars not superstitious may expect the comet with equanimity, and fearlessly hope that it be longs to the largest aud most brilliant spe cies.
