THE pemocrats in Congress are dis
playing a great•deal'of discretion in car-

THE Chinese quarters of San Francisco,

T Murfreesboro, Tenn., on Friday

,condemned men went through the mock

confideuw that "they would sit at the
right hand of Jesus," and with this
blasphemy upon their lips the drop fell
and they passed into eternity. The de
moralizing nature of such scenes was so
apparent as to excite the apprehension of
the, prominent citizens of the place.

a State Convention at Harrisburg on the

is the probability of the nomination 14' a

It is a poor time when gaunt famine
and dire distress in Ireland is appealing
to the sympathies and aid of the benevo
lent for the celebration of St. Patrick's
day in this country. The money spent
in this parade could much better be spent
in relieving the famishing in the Green
Isle. The- delegates from the several
Irish societies of New Yolk, in Conven
tion, decided to celebrate, though the pro
position was strongly opposed by the
more sensible part of the delegates. They
' could with much more propriety, give the
day to soliciting the contributions of the
charitable, to-which each son of St. Pat
rich could add the amount which it would
cost.him to make a senseless parade.
"FICEASY lies the head that wears a
crown," has been exemplified - on many
occasions. The Emperin• of Russia can
give corroborating evidence should any
one question theiruthfulness of the say
ing. It is but a few days since an at- •
tempt was made to blow up a railroad
train in which was his royal highness, but
which only succeeded in demolishing his
baggage. Now a mine As exploded in the
basement under the dining-room of the
Winter PalaCe, by which eight soldiers of
the Guard then on duty were killed, and
forty-five injured. The mine was filled
wit 4 dynamite and gun cotton', and• the
train by which it was fired was traced to a
cellar in the-buter court, whore a quanti

THE production of the petroleum fields
of Pennsylvania since the discovery by
Coloilel MAKE in 1K59, has been won
derful. It is stated on reliable authority,
that not less than 133,262,639 barrels of
crude oil, valued at. $340,709,672, has
been produced up to the end 'of 1879. The
accepted theory is that the oil sands and
rock are the mere reservoirs which con
tain the product of the decomposition of
vegetable aid animal life of the Devoni
an epoch. If this theory be true, then
the supply iu time would be exhausted,
because the process of formation is com
-Pleted. How long the supply will hold
-out would depend upon the amount stor
ed in the vast reservoirs hundreds of feet
'below the surfacoof the earth.
" W ASTER FORCES."
Whether there are not waste forces
in Nature that can and should be
turned to useful account, or vastly
better account than we are now put
ting them, deserves and, is receiving
the attention of scientist's and physic
ists. -•They are ',pointing, out the
Wasted Forces in Nature and advis
ing as to the means to be employed
to make a better and more economical
use of the power which -is lost
through misappli , altion. In the Po-
litical as well as the Material World,
there is a, vast amount of Wasted
Force. It needs• no scientific nor
phihisophic investigations to prove
this statement; a glance at the politi-
cal movements of the day will satisfy
the most careless observer that so
far as the Republican party is con
cerned, a great amount of energy
and force is being not only wasted,
but used in such a way as to result
in positive damage to the partyand
calculated to endanger its success,
The Republican party is an organ
intion which contains in its member
ship very largely the independent
and thinking men of the Nation; It
is a party of ideas and principles.
The shackles of party bondage have
always been loose and uncertain, and
boUnd its members only when con
science dictated and duty led them
to' submit. They have a Way or assert
ing their indepenience and Manifest
ing their disapprobation of their
leaders or the action of 'the party
which makes it exceedingly danger
ous to tread on uncertain ground.
When insubordination or defection
results in defeat to • the party, good
may sometimes be the result, but
ordinarily it is but a sheer and,
wicked waste of poker, and requires
time and labor to restore the organiza
tion to its pristine vigor anti activity,.
We have, in our own County, at
times a striking illustration of Wasted
Political Force. It may be seen on
any occasion when there are import
ant County offices to fill. Observe
the zeal and activity which are dis
played to advance the interests and
bring about the nomination of can
didates! And then note when, the
Conven,tion has settled the question,
what a peaceful calm falls upon the
County! The swarming and swearing
partizans become at once as gentle
and peaceful as the frisking spring
lambs! The enthusiasm has evapo
rated ; the, tireless energy has au'
sided. If those who are so zealous
and active for the promotion of indi
vidual interests before our Conven
tions, would save their exertions and
labors, and give to the success of the
patty and its principles one half the
time and attention they do to depre
ciating some Republican contestant,
we should be every year increasing
instead of diminishing our majority.
We have too much Wasted Fore',
previous to the nominations. We
need to remedy this great evil. We
need less of zeal and lessor aspersion
in conducting our preliminaries, so
that when the nominations are made,
there shah not be exhaustion from
the fierceness of the contest, nor
ben rt•burnings And bit blood from
the indecent and personal character
in which it was waged. The Repub
licans of the' County should set the
seal of their reprobation upon , i the
practiassailing and aspersing
rival eand idates foi nominations. The
bitterness of - disappointment soon
passes away, but detraction, trickery
and injustice leave their stings which
in time work their natural results.
We have our share, too, of those
growling, grumbling, dissatisfied Re.
publicans who do not believe in any
body or anything, and who seem to
have no other
- aim than to depreciate
and pull down. We will net say
that they_ are full of envy and all
uncharitableness, for they are un
doubtedly constitutional grumblers:
They are 'not only wasting their po
litical force, but they throw greater
buidens on those who are striving to
elevate and build up. The Republi-
Can who has no _higher mission than
Ito gratify personal animosity, or who
!'is constantly denouncing and antago
nizing some prominent member of
the party, is no credit nor benefit to
the organization, whether he, stands
on the street corner and retails his
jeremiades and scandals, or happens
to have mistaken hie. vocation by at
tempting to publish a newspaper.
There is a systematic and effectual
determination on the part of certain
Republicans to waste., the power and
influence they might wield, originat
ing with such men as anomie WILL
IAM CURTIS. In New York it takes
the name of, " Scratchers," and at
tempts to defeat•the Republican can
didates, because they do not come up
to a ; certain standard of -.gentility
and exquisiteness: 'This superfine
arrogation of celestial virtues, finds
a feeble imitation in Philadelphia
and takes the shape of an arraign
ment and .condemnation , of all the
prominent Republican candidates for
the Presidential nomination. These
political angels cannot Support
GRANT, because his candidacy would
violate a tradition which has become
part of the unwritten law of the
Nation; CONKLING is objectionable
because he regards the skillful use of
patronage for personal ends as the
highest fundtion of, a statesman;
BLAINE is disifosed of as one whose
past inability to resist temptation
would put his supporters em the de . .
fensive throughout the campaign ;
SHERMAN is unacceptable as one
whose personal ambition may lead
-him to' regard the public service as a
mere instrumentality for furthering
his own ends, and whose convictions
are but expressions of temporary
political expediency. The gentlemen
who put forth such expressions, may
be wise men and sincerely desire the
success of the Republican party, but
they cannot be practicaLmen. They
are either dreamers and sentimental
ists, or they are led by those whose
self-conceit has been wounded by a
feeling of want of appreciation, and
who are soured towards others who
have public position and enjoy pub
lie confidence. They are a striking
example of the woeful waste of po
litical force.
Several of the prominent Republi
can' newspapers are apparently en
deavoring to see ,how much of power
they can fritter away, and how much
work they can do which! must; be un
done when the National Convention
names the Republican candidate for
the Presidency. The Tribune of
course, is ,excusable, because it has
not been in the fold long enough to be
on its good behavior. It has been
1) ;I
trying for some time past, to make
amends for its tergiversations, but
despite its efforts the old cussedness
will occasionally manifest itself. In
its zeal to manufacture a BLAINE
boom, • it is wasting on immense
amount of force. The N. Y. Tini l es
is pursuing SHERMAN with meanness
and malignity. There is no account
ing for the vagaries of this journal,
' which is controlled by personal
prejudices 'and, considerations alone,
making it unreliable and uncertain
as a guide. The Press could not, by
months of zealous service, undo the
mischief it has wrought, in its insane
efforts to advance the political for
tunes of its favorite candidate. It
has violated the( proprieties, and its
labors, if they h i ve any effect, would
be to hazard ouc, success in the State,
whoeVer is the pandidate. Fortunate
ly, no indiscretl i bn on the part of the
Press is of sufficient importance to
bring disaster. These are prominent
and painful examples of the facility
and extent to' which Political Force
can be wasted. " Whatever ix) ay be the
motives which underlie such action,'
there can be but one result. They
may possibly succeed in convincing
some Republican that a certain can
didate is not worthy of his support;
or they may satisfy him that party
leaders and party management are so
corrupt as to need rebuke at the
polls; no other possible :result can
come of constant misrepresentntion
and denunciation, and the journal or
the partizan is wasting Force when.
means are employed to further ends,
which must, hereafter be encounter- ,
/ ed, ex_ plained and overcome.
lb. I
THE Press contains the following intel
ligence whiCh is important if true. We
are afraid, however, that neither the
editors of that journal, nor its Wash
ington correspondents are authoriz
ed to speak for Senator CAnsnox, and
we publish its statement to show the des
perate means just now fashionable to
manufacture public opinion. The Press
correspondent says : " While Senator
Dolt Csmitnom is strongly in favor of
GRANT'S nomination he is evidently be
coming somewhat impressed by the grow
ing opposition to the third-term project.
In conversation on the subject now he
takes great care to explain that he should,
not have insisted upon GRANT instructions
at Harrisburg had not the Opposition taken
such shape that failure to secure such de,
claration would have been interpreted as
a persOnal defeat of himself. He says
further that 131 . ) obeli not feel disposied to
force (burr's nomination upon the
Chicago convention if it shall appear that_
the effect would be to divide the party.
In short, while he believe' GRANT is the
strongestltandidate he will be ready to
drop hint it it shall appear that an influ
ential element of the party think his nom
halloo would be tilaititteue. As .to his
choice in case be- cannot have GRANT,
CAMERON says comparatively MIN be
cause be still professes to believe that
sash contingency will not arise, but he
has expressed the opinion within the last
twenty-four hours that the nomination of
BLAINE would be a mistake." And the
same paper prints a dispatch which'
announces that Corteutto is steady for
GRANT, and further that the New York
Senator has declared "that be shall not
attend the Utica convention next week
unless he was selected.as a delegate, and
as yet be bad received no intimation that
he would be chosen. He said that there
was not the slightest doubt in the world
that the convention would endorse
GRANT, although he believes a desperate
effort was being made by friends of the.
other candidates to secure some represen
tation in the convention. As far as be
bad ascertained he said the people of New
York Stateiwere almost unanimous in fa-
I vor of a third term."
WHAT will be done with the Trade Do]-
jar? Individually, our readers will have
no difficulty in answering the question.
' They can pay a year's subscription to the
REPORTER' with one, and they pass cur
rent, in a certain sense, In the ordinary
business of the day. But they tare not a
coin of the realm, they are not currency,
043 the government only recognizes them
I as bullion, worth so much an ounce.
At the same time there are some millions
in circulation, passing from hand to band
to the exclusion of the legal dollar, and
they should be retired in some way. The
Senate Finance Committee recently pro
pounded to Secretary SEIERMAN the
fol
lowing question :--" Why the trade do/-
tar should not be converted into a stand
ard dollar ?" In reply the Secretary says
that the only difficulty iq the way is the
fact that the trade dollar is not a coined
dollar of the United Stats, but a piece of
stamped bullion. In exchanging the trade
dollar for the standard dollar, be holds
that the United Statesi shauld regard the
former and pay for it accordingly. If
Congress should pass a law to this effect,
it would bring the value of the trade dol
lar down to eighty-eight • cents, and the
holders would lose twelve cents on every
one. The manifest injustice of this is the'
more apparent because-the standard dol
lar contains less silver than the trade dol
lar. Speculators may have aided in forc
ing the trade dollar into circulation, but
now they are distributed amongst the
people, and have been taken at their, sup
posed value. It would be equitable to
allow them to be exchanged for the
standard dollar, which would soon with
draw them from circulation.
bONORESBMAN ACKLE:4, of Louisiana,
is not a carpet-bagger, but a high-born
American, blue-blooded, and a scion of
chivalry. He was sent to take the place
of. the 'despised carpet-bagger, to elevate
the standard of Southern representation,
and to illustrate the beauty and propriety
of "home rifle." Mr. ACKLEN's chivalry
was first shown by his disgraceful con
duct tows , s an unprotected woman, and
1
next by h s attempt to practice an infa
mous treat upon the House, of which be
is a memb4. He was one of a committee
to examinelinto claims of cit i ens of the
U nited Staies against Nicara a, and had
a report referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, of which the Hon. Mr.
Kin° is chairman, and then, vVithout au
thority from the committee and in Mr.
KiNo's absence, offered the
.report as
coming from Mr. KING and asked to have
it printed., The Cominittec on Foreign
Affairs, when the trick became known,
were naturally very indignant, and re
ported the facts to the Howie. without aoi
.recommendation. The' Judiciary Com
mittee are considering as to l what punish
ment should be inflicted upon a 'member
who would be guilty of. such a deliberate
and disreputable fraud. It should not
take the house long to decide what is due
to. its own character, but they should
I promptly expel the member who has
brought disgrace upon that body. -
THE engineers employed by 31. LES.
saps to determine the estimated cost of
cutting a canal across the Isthmus, babe
submitted their figures which are some
what startling in amount. At the Pads
Congress the cost of the canal was esti
mated at from $80,000,000 to- $140,006,-
000, but the engineers now figure it `at
more than double the minimum figure
which was put forward so prominently
last summer, when it was necessary to
make the cost appear comparatively
small. That M..DE LEssEPs' engineers
have a genius for figuring may be judged
from the fact that they do not report the
cost 840,000,000 or 850,000;000 franc*
but at 843,000,000, the odd , 3,000,000
francs representing only $OOO,OOO in an
estimate of work, involving. even accord.
ing to these revised and improved esti
mates, the enormous sum of $168,000,000.
THE "divinity that,doth hedge a king"
is but lightly considered by the Nihilists
of Russia, who have made so many un
successful attempts upon the life pf the
Czar. That they are terribly in earnest
is evidenced by the late attempt to kill
the whole Imperial family. The; ',terrible
explosion, which - cost a dozen ;soldiers
their lives, was intended to take place
when the family was at the dinner-table.
Fortunately, the cook was behind time,
or from some other cause, the dinner was
delayed and the royal family saved. 'The
failure of repeated attempts at regicide,
made upon almost every crowned head of
Europe, seems remarkable, and would
load superititious people to look upon the
"Lord's anointed" as having some spe
cial protection.
WE suppose that a pistol is more; ap

no reason why be should accidentally lull

stead of his handkerchief, and interrupt
the debate by the explosion caused by its
discharge, as recently. happened. And it
the District Attorney, as is stated, has
filed an information agiinst the Speaker

is an sttempted (infringement upon the

Tnz value of the Tribune's canvar as
an index of public sentiment, is shown by
the assertion of our neighbor, who is sur
prised that J. W. STONE should report
GRANT as the first choice of Canton, and
asserts that "the Republicans of, Canton
are four to one for BLAINE." Isn't it
fairly possible That Mi. SToNE may be

THAT there is great distress and dan
ger of starvation from faMina in Ireland,
there is no question. Tbe non-resident
land owners seem to be unwilling to take
steps to relieve the suffering which has
been brought about by bad weather and
the consequenfailure of the ;,crops, ag
gravated by the exactions of the land
lords. Great Britain should be ashamed
to appeal to other countries to. alleviate
the distress which she is abundantly able
to manage and relieve.
IT is not always that a delayed dinner
proved such a fortnnate affair, as it' : did
when it saved•the lives of the Imperial
family of Russia. It, appears that ;the
dinner was kept back 'awaiting the.ex

that the Imperial family had not assem
bled in the dining hall. Which shows
that it pays to be polite.

nominees of the Republicans arid were
sucoeseful•in the three latter wards, the
regular nominee being elected in the
Ninth Ward over John Clark, Independ
ent, and John Tracy, Democrat. The

two regular and Independent • Republi
cans and twelve Democrats.
