MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 8, 1880.
Cousplcnens Felly.
The felly of parties and men has sel
dom been se fairly exposed as in the elec
tion in Tennessee. The Democratic con
vention adopted a resolution in favor of
the payment of the state debt en the best
terras that could be obtained from the
bondholders, which, it was thought,
would be about fifty per cent. A num
ber of delegates who did net want te let
the bondholders have anything te say as
te the amount which should be paid
them by the state, if anything, and who
moreover wanted any act passed by the
Legislature in regard te the matter te be
first ratified by the people at an election
te be held,before it should go into effect,
seceded from the convention and nom
inated a separate candidate for governor.
The Republicans, who have been for sev
eral years watt-hing the playing of the
Democratic mice with this question and
adroitly aggravating them te a fight
whenever they found opportunity, placed
themselves en a "strong debt paying plat
form and declared for the payment of
the full principal and interest.
The Democrats have been going at
each oilier, hammer and longs, for the
last three months : the one side declar
ing thai the ether were repudiatienists
and the latter retorting that the regular
Democracy were bound in the chains of
the railroads which really owed the debt
and ought te pay it. The Republican
common enemy was mostly lest sight of
in this Kilkenny light : and that of itself
would have made the battle ridiculous
te the unprejudiced observer. But
the peculiar absurdity of it is found in
the fact that the repudiation Democrats,
who were going for the scalp of the reg
ular Democratic candidate because he
wanted le pay tee big a percentage of
the debt and was net willing te submit
the mailer again le the people, have de
liberately permitted the Republican
governor te be elected, who is pledg
ed te the payment of the whole
debt and who is net only opposed te ask
ing the people anything about it but is
ready le give the bondholders any guar
antee they want that the state will pay
them their interest. This has been done
deliberately, because it has been clear
that either the Republican or the regular
Democratic candidate would be elected.
The choice manifestly laid between
these two; but the discontented Deme
crats had their anger up and their war
paint oil and were determined en a light
ever a bone that they distinctly saw the
third deg carrying off from under their
nose?. There certainly never was a
mere conspicuous instance of political
felly. While the Tennessee Democrats
of all kinds are wiping their bloody chops
the Republicans are laughing : and with
them laugh the bondholders, who find
themselves se much the gainers by the
present situation.
Xet unlike this Tennessee picture is
that presented in Virginia, where that
ass, Mahenc, thinking he was a lien, has
been maquerading for a year or se in the
skin He started a repudiation parly
with which te get. possession of the flesh flesh
pets of the state. Ills first move was te
get himself elected le the United States
Senate by a coalition with the Republi
cans. This was net much of a feat ; but
it looked like one and led mankind gen
erally, and Alahone in particular, te
think that he was a very great man. lie
accordingly undertook te run the Dem
ocratic electors of his ewu nomination
in Virginia, notwithstanding the Demo
cratic party had a set already nomi
nate!, lie declared that he was the state
and that his electors would be chosen
against both the Democratic and Repub
lican set. The world, which is apt te
take a man at his own rating if he
makes a great noise, was really inclined
te think that Mahout- could de the wen
derful tricks en his-pregramme. The
Democratic national committee was net
se stupid, however, and put an ex
tinguisher en him by recogniz
ing the oilier electors. Mahone
conies out of the contest with hardly a
grease spot te show where he was. The
creditors of the stale are joyful, and the
regular Democracy laugh with them.
The Republicans were net se strong as
i.-i Tennessee nor was the repudiation el
ement as vigorous. The parly lest little
therefore by the defection ; and has little
new te remind it of Mahout except the
discredit of having liim in the Senate ;
where he will be a fit and ready in
strument for the Republican effort te
capture the solid Seuth.' He is ready
for any alliance thai will premise him
power.
Who IHil It.
The New Yerk Sun says "Jehn Kelly
did it." The Sun is rash. Jehn Kelly
might retort "The, Sim did il," and with
as geed reason ; for the Sun certainly, in
that time of its weakness after the In
diana election, when it intimated that
General Hancock's quality chiefly lay in
his physical weight, did hiscause greater
injury than was offset by the benefit of
its advocacy during the campaign. It
was the declaration of a friend and car
ried weight accordingly. Doubtless it
was net said deliberately : but that did
net help the hurt.
It is notable hew the Democratic ad
vocates of Hancock are charged with sel
fishly or stupidly harming their cause in
this canvass: and often justly. The Xew
Yerk World' has been publishing for
weeks past these hasty words of the Sim
about Hancock, for the purpose of in
juring that journal and depriving it of
Damecralic support; although it well
knew that it was doing the cause no
geed. Its republication was worse
than the Sun's offence and was malig
nantly stupid. The World thinks Til
den did it. It has the same reason te
charge the less of New Yerk te him as
fie Nmihasleput it oil Kelly, and that
is the fact that Democratic districts
especially loyal te him did net de their
duty. Rut it is clear enough te every
Democrat who has no spitefulness te
gratify against either Kelly or Tilden
that it was neither who lest us Xew
Yerk, for the interests of both were
hurt by it. Republican money, bought
humbler Democratic instruments. The
fault of the leaders was the jealousy that
kept them from unity of council and
action, and which is new indecently ex
posed in the recrimination of thesceldirg
organs, which would be much better em
ployed in turning their attention te the
discovery of the methods of Arthur and
company -that swelled the Republican
count se efficiently. The gross fraud in
the vote of Xew Yerk is patently dis
closed in the returns; and the men who
did it were the Republicans who profited
by it.
-
Te-xight the famous and notorious
French actress, Sara Bernhardt, makes
her first appearance en the' American
stage, and the press and society of Xew
Yerk are agog with excitement ever the
long heralded event. There does net
seem te be much doubt that the frail
Sara is a great actress. Her Art is te be
printed with a big " A." The critics are
committed te her praise in advance and
the metropolitan papers are proving
anew what :i great excitement they can
makeover a small event, in the interest
with which they invest every detail of
her movements.
Her dresses arc as magnificent and her
jewels as bedazzling as these with which
Rachel took the world of fashion by
storm years age ; her success will no
doubt be as overwhelming and her profits
greater.
What te de with her socially is the
question that affects Xew Yerk. She is
a woman of immoral character and the
mother of four illegitimate children, all
" in search of a father."1" The Prince of
Wales " first gentleman of the land,"'
we believe made obeisance te her and
Gladstone gave her social recognition, all
of which is cited only as evidence
of the dissolute morals of the Aricterian
age by these who regard the Bernhardt
woman as " that particularly dirty, im
pudent and offensive French strumpet."
This is the savage judgment of a "par
ish minister''' writing in the Independent.
It remains te be seen whether Xew Yerk
society is se censorious.

The Russiau Admiral Popekf is se ill

Colonel A. K. MeCuitK, of the Phila

It is only one of the Garfield electors

Dr. D. G. MacGewkn, of Philadelphia,

At a recent Xcwpeit dinner a lady

The Amcricau colony hi Paris is very

llewers of the national color, sprinkled
ever with thirty-eight stars te represent
the states. Tins French papers say that
she was greatly delighted and overcome
with emotion.
The invitations read : " Mr. and Mrs.

o'clock. Pine street Presbyterian church,

An IiihaucMan Attempts te Kill a Sister ct
Mercy.
Sister Gertrude Vcrene, of the St. Jehn
Baptist home, a charitable institution of
the Protestant Episcopal church in East
Seventeenth street, New Yerk, was shot
and seriously wounded yesterday by
Themas Stanten, an insane man. She had
been te visit a peer family and was about
cnteriug the home en her return when
Stanten, who had been noticed hanging
about the place, approached and fired at
her several times. Sister Gertrude was
wounded twice in the right thigh, enee
in the ankle and once in the Jeft
hand. She fell unconcieus into the arms
of the ether sisters, who had been alarmed
by the filing just as they opened the deer,
and but for their timely assistance Stantn
might have killed her outright. A physi
cian who dressed the wounds pronounced
them serious but net necessarily fatal. The
sister said the man was a total stranger te
her. Stanten, when arrested, said he had
been bewitched by some one ami thought
Sister Gertrude was the person who be
witched him. He did net knew her. Xe
ene has yet been found who knows the
man.

The body of Miss Cera Mayette, of To Te

rapids just off the Third Sister island. She
accidentally fell from a beat October 31.
Her father and brother dragged the river
for the body several times. Saturday they
went te the Fall and recognized the bedv
while still remaining in the rapids. Owing
te the lateness of the day and the very dan
gerous position where the body had ledged
it was fastened with a rope and left te re
main till morning when it was secured.
MINOR TOPICS.
Exgi-axd will try te reduce the
interest en her national debt from
per cent.
rate of
3 te 2i
It has just been discovered by a boot beot boet
maker that the system of popular elections
was devised in the interests of the hatters.
Tin: importance of a single vote has
again been measurably demonstrated.
Chas Allen, Dem., is elected assemblyman
in Red Bank X. J. by one majority. In
Granbury, Heed county, Texas, out of 1,136
votes cast Garfield did net get one.
Seme of the members of the Baltimore
corn exchange arc in the habit of whist
ling te call their clerks and messengers.
Eacc has his peculiar whistle, and it is in
stantly recognized by his employees. The
practice makes the exchange a pandemo
nium, and the government committee re
cently passed a law ferbiding it. The
whistlers refuse te obey, several fines
have been imposed, and the matter is te
be taken into court.
The queen wauts Glacis tone le ask Par
liament for a grant of 40,000 te help the
Prince of Wales te pay off such of his debts
as arc considered pressing, and for an ad
dition of 10,000 a year te his royal
highness' s allowance 40,000 a year, irre
spective of the net revenues of the Duchy
of Cornwall (which amount te nearly 70,
000 a year) and of the princess's 10,000.
Gladstone declines te make any such re
quest and saves his popularity.
Snuieus trouble looms up ahead for
England ever the condition of affairs in
Ireland. All reports from the scene of
disturbance agree that the .social disorder
afflicting that unhappy island grows wider
and mere formidable every day. There
arc very few landlords or agents that will
new venture te show themselves in public
unaccompanied by a strong force te guard
them, and the stories arc revived about the
intention of the Orangemen of Ulster te
march down upon the Seuth and West, de
claring that civil war cannot be worse than
the social anarchy new prevailing. Threats
arc made by the rank and file en the Land
League that a bloody revenge will be
taken for every conviction of an agitator 1
that may be obtained that for each leader
found guilty a landlord shall be shot within
I the twenty-four hours.
One of the most important duties the
new president will have te perform will
be the appointment of four associate jus
tices of the supreme court of the United
States. Justice Clifferd, notwithstanding
the natural sensitiveness of his friends en
the subject, is said te be mentally and
physically incapable of ever taking his
seat upon the woolsack again. He is
seventy-seven years old, and his health is
se precarious that he can hardly be ex
pected te long survive. Justice Hunt's
health is also threatening. He has net
been upon the bench for two years and
will probably never be able te resume his
duties. He is seventy years old. Justice
Swaync, although in geed health, is
seventy-six years old, and it is understood
he will retire within a year. Justice
Streng is also hi geed health, but he is
seventy -two years old and it is understood
that he, tee, will retire after the fourth
of March and take advantage of the full
pension allowed by law. Thus the next
president may have the appointment of
four new judges, a responsibility he ought
net te regard lightly. Should only Re
publicans be selected the court will then
stand eight Republicans te one Democrat
(Justice Field) who was appointed by a
Republican president.
UYimOI'lIwKlA FROM A UOV'S HIT!?.
A .Mether Kitten by lier Convulsed en and
Stricken with tne Same Disease.
Last Monday a little son of James Moly Mely
neaux, of Providence, was taken down
with s.yinptens of hydrophobia. On Tues
day the disease was clearly defined. The
child is 1) years old, and had been bitten,
as nearly as his parents could learn, some
three weeks before by a cur en the strecl.
All of the mere vielcntsymy tens of hydro
phobia set in. His convulsions produced
the shocking noise that is sometimes liken
ed te the snapping of a deg, and there was
the attendant foaming at the mouth.
While his father and mother were tending
him he bit them both, and it being impos
sible te care for him at home lie was sent
te the Rhede Island hospital.
Thusday evening Mrs. Melyncaux, the
mother, without the slightest premonition
excepting a feeling of lassitude, was sud
denly convulsed. She was sittinsr at the
time with some friends at her residence en
Ship street. The spasm became mere vio
lent ; frothing at the mouth and ether
symtems that had been noticed in the boy
were observed. It was impossible for the
friends te control her. They say she
snapped at them whenever they ap
proached, and that the action caused them
te remember that she had been bitten by
the little boy, Harry. Mr. Melyncaux was
away, and the police were therefore neti
fied. An officer cautiously entered the
room and approached the bed en which
Mrs. Melyncaux was lying. She seemed
te have geno there in a moment of tem
porary relief, but the moment she
saw the officer she sprang at him.
The officer for a few minutes had a
terrible struggle. He could have mas
tcred the woman easily, but he feared that
in the struggle that would be necessary
she might bite him. He seized the bed
clothes and wound them in a great bunch
around his arms, and thus protected him
self. He also shouted for help, and
shortly three officers arrived, Mrs. Moly Mely
ncaux's house being but a short distance
from the station. The officer, then, using
the bedclothes te protect himself, forced
Mrs. Melyncaux as gently as possible
back te the bed and threw the blankets
quickly ever her face. In a second
the ether officers, with the police surgeon,
who had arrived with an ambulance,
had secured Mrs. Molyneaux, and she
was taken te the hospital. Sergeant Runk
in, of the police says he never paw a mere
terrible sight than was this woman's con
ditien when they were" binding her. He
describes her utterances as almost perfect
imitations of the growling of a deg, and
says she would set her teeth and snap as
dogs de. The most painfully part of it
all was that Mrs. Molyneaux seemed fully
uuu.-MJumn, iiuti nui uieiiuu suucriiigs were
greater than the physical.
Seme years age, when there was what
might almost be termed an epidemic of
hydrophobia in the Connecticut valley, a
man in the last paroxysms bit his attend
ant. The physicians watched the attend
ant for some months, intending te make a
careful study of the disease, but the at
tendant was never the worse for the bite.
Jehn Frazier, proprietor of the Ten
Mile Heuso tavern, near Morrisville, was
attacked in his house by two colored men,
who knocked him down, stabbed him four
times in the breast and arms and then
robbed him and fled te parts unknown.
His wounds are dangerous.

It will be admitted that a majority of

is proper that the press should devote
itself te reassuring the business commu

The invitations for the wedding of Miss

of two of Pennsylvania's governors, are is

ceremony is fixed for half-past (5 p. m., en
Thursday, Xevember 11, at St. Jehn's P.
E. church. The groom elect is Lieutenant
Rebert ICennen Evans, of the Twelfth In
fantry, who is a native of Mississippi and
a graduate of West Point. He is ordered
te Arizona and will start for his pest the
evening of the wedding, which causes the
ceremony te take place at se early an hour
and limits the reception, which is te be
at Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby's residence, te
the time between 7 and 10 p. m. The
one objection the bride's loving mother
has te the choice of a husband her only
child has made is the separation it in
velves between her and her daughter, i he
matrimonial engagement was ratified
while Miss Shunk was traveling in Europe
last summer with her grandparents, Judge
and Mrs. Black. Mr. Evans, who had be
gun his suit, in Washington, meeting her
in Europe, secured her premise of mar
riage and the consent of her grandparents.
He first was attracted te this handsome
and intellectual young girl by a piece
el" poetry she wrote which was published
anonymously in the Washington Capital,
and of which en inquiry he found Miss
Shunk te be the author. She inherits
from both parents a marked talent for
writing, but is se modest that she has
never suffered air' of her writings te be

will have only two bridesmaids, the

died yesterday at her father's house, be

She contracted a very severe cold en the

Rush was a, very popular young lady and

husband is a resident of Unionlewn,
Fayette county, where he is a member of
the bar and a part owner of the Republican
Standard. It was net generally known
that Mrs. Rush was married, as it was the
intention of herself and husband te keep
it a secret in order te surprise their friends
in this city oil Christmas. Although it is
several weeks since .Mrs. Rush first became
ill, her death was a surprise te many friends
who did net knew that she was seriously
indisposed.

Ill the first "part of the week the election
excitement prevented anv interest bcin"
taken in anything else, and the ether part
was characterized by supreme stillness.
Xevertheless, there exists a feeling of sat
isfaction en all sides. The packers of ?7S
Pennsylvania are evidently at last convinc
ed that no higher prices than heretofore
have been given cau be obtained for that,
stock. About 20 cents for line running
lets, 15 for medium and about 12 for low
are new the standard figures for it. Seme
few are sanguine that the very fine lets
will bring still higher prices in the spring,
when selections arc net se plenty. The
disappointment that followed the great
expectations of the packers has been the
means of making them cautious this
year. They wisely keep away from the
'SO Pennsylvania crop, and will and must
continue te de se till the growers there
ire ready te accept very low figures.

which, though experienced eis;ar manu

as perfectly sound stock. But the most
important reason why low prices must
rule for this crop, is that it is an enormous
one, far greater than any of the preceding
ones and tea great te be disposed of for
home consumption only.
In.summing up the limited busines.". of

demand for '79 Connecticut from manufac

Ilui-ingthedampweatherth.it has pre
vailed a geed deal of the new eiep has been
taken from the poles for stripping. In the
judgment of experienced growers and
packers, tobacco should net be shipped
until the stems are entirely dried out.
Early stripping is said te have been the
cause of most of the "damage'' te the
crop of '79 which at one time was feared
te be disastrously large, but which turned
out te be mn eh less than was feared. B
letting the tobacco hang en the poles until
the stem is thoroughly dry. the leaf "will
cure of abetter color and there will lie
much less liability of damage. Except for
lets cut very early a month later will lie a
better time te strip it than new. By at
tempting te be first in the market our
farmers may be working against their own
interests. The packers having been in
some instances " bitten " in 1S79 will be
mere carefully in their examinations in
18S0.
We see by the Xew England papers that
the growers in that section are being urged
te give unusual attention te the stripping
and handling of the crop of '80, se as te
keep it in the forefront of the market. The
Connecticut crop is a geed one. it is said,
though a little light in color. It behooves
the Pennsylvania farmer te ha cqual'y
