Poor old Montgomery Blair has
broken loose again in the New York
Sun, of course, where he takes exactly
one column of space to tell the De
mocracy that its only hope of success
Is "to hoist the fighting Hag of Tilden
Ism." The Kentucky Republicans would
be highly pleased to see the Hon. S.
W. Bowman of Lexington, in that
State, in General Garfield's Cabinet.
Mr. Bowman was one of the Commis
sioners to arrange the difficulties with
the Utes.
The New York Sun believes "Gen
eral Arthur's dignity, urbanity and
well-known studious habits ought to
fit him to vie with any of his New
York predecessors in the chair of the
Senate, with the possible exception of
Martin Van Buren."
General Garfield's certificate of
election as Senator from Ohio will
probably be withdrawn in a few days,
In order that he may return it.through
the Governor, to the legislature of
Ohio, together with a letter declining
the office of United States Senator, for
the reason that he has since being
chosen to the Senate, been elected to
the office of President of the United
States,
The Pottsvile Miner's Journal has
compared the so-called synopsis of the
President's message which appeared
in some enterprising journals on Mon
day and finds that they have very
little resemblance to Ahe original docu
ment, and ware more than probably
only mere guess-work. The most
important omission in the ''synopsis'
was the absence of ary reference to
the proposition tomr.ko General Grant
Captain General.
Of the 4,700 Republ'ean voters of
Beaver County 707 had to have their
taxes paid for them by the County
Committee before the recent election
The New Brighton Neivs thinks thii
a vicious, practice and says: "As it
affects both parties, let the County
Committees puss a joint resolution de
claring that they will in the future
pay no such taxes, and firmly and
unalterably stand by their action at
whatever cost.1'
Another editor has comeoff victori
ous in a libel suit. Tt Is Mr. W. T.
Croasdale of the Wilmington (Del
Every Evening and Commercial. Mr,
Croasdale did a good turn for bis con
stituents by exposing nd attacking
the improper methods of a lonal insur
ance company, and the latter took the
matter into court on a suit for libel,
The result is a vindication of Mr,
Croasdale by a jury of his countrymen
ana a needed and timely lesson to
questionable insurance concerns.
cbmatoh mill or ueorgia was
asked by a Philadelphia Pre oorres
pondent if the South would continue
to remain solidly Democratic. "I
don't know," said Mr. Hill slowly
I think she will, though," he added
"but all depends on General Garfield's
administration. If he treats the
South with kindness and fairness he
will probably rally a large support to
him from among the Southern people,
It is entirely too early now to predict
the future political status of the South
em States."
A machine has been invented in
California for pressing and drying
potatoes so that they will keep for
years, yet preserve their natural fla
vor. No chemicals are used in the
operation of curing, everything being
done by a simple machiue capable of
pressing six hundred bushels per day
After the pressure they are put
into a drying apparatus, where they
remain for two hours, when they are
ground into coarse meal resembling
cracked rice. It is said that when
cooked they make a very palatable
dish.
Barnum, the great showman, has
engaged for the next season the Chi
nese giant "Chaug," who it is said to
be the largest man in the world. His
height Is estimated at nine feet, but
owing to his religion he will not per
mit himself to be measured, as he be
lieves he would die at once. He ar
rived on Wednesday in the city of
Berlin, from Europe, where he was
on exhibition in nearly every city on
the continent. Among his jewelry is a
watch weighing two and a half
pounds, and a chain attached nine
feet In length, a present from Queen
Victoria.
A curious result of the colored ex
odus has recently, it is reported, made
itself visible in Louisiaua. Labor has
become somewhat scarce in several
parishes, and as a consequence of the
increased demand thereby produced,
the oolored laborers are organizing
unions to secure higher wages. In
some places strikes are threatened.
This is more especially true of planta
tion districts near New Orleans. The
exodus movements, instead of decreas
ing, is extending itself systematically,
and many of the best class of workers
are evidently preparing for migration.
There is a great deal of correspondence
going on as to places north where such
labor may be needed.. The effort is
being made by some land grant inter
ests to torn a portion of this popula
tion Into New Mexico and South
Six Presidential Electing.
N. T. Bun.
The number of voters in the United
States has nearly doubled In the last
twenty years. Six Presidential elec
tions have taken place in this memora
ble cycle, beginning with the civil
war, and ending with the Great Fraud
and Garfield, the aggregate voles of
the two extremes are as follows:
Total, 1SS0 ....... ,192,MW

Mr. Lincoln was In a large minority
of the popular vote when elected in
I860. The Democratic party split In
two parties at the Charleston Conven
tion of that year, and opened the door
for the success of the Republican can
didate with the following result:
1860.

Lincoln's major! ty.944,149,
At the next election the rebellion
was on its last leers, and the Demo
crats nominated Gen. McClellan for
their candidate upon a foolish plat
form that the war had been a failure.
The figures below make it plain that
the people did not concur in that
partisan opinion:
1864.
Lincoln m 2,51fl,0BT
McClellan.. 1,808,725
Lincoln's majority, 407,842.
Unfortunately for the countrv. Mr.
Lincoln was assassinated at the open
ing of his second term, and he was
succeeded by Andrew Johnson, who,
in attempting to carry out the policy
of his predecessor, quarrelled with
Congress, and embittered the relations
or parties.
Fresh from success in closincr the re.
hellion, and gathering into his own
hand the laurels won by the heroism
of a great army, part of which had
been cruelly sacrificed by obstinacy
and ignorance, Gen. Grant was nom
inated in it8.
A strong sentiment in the North
pointed to the selection of Salmon P.
Chase as the most available candidate
for the Democrats at that time. But
Gov. Seymour, against his own Judg
ment, was by a siiarp trick iu the
Convention, put in the false position
of excepting what he did not desire,
and ot thus rejecting the man whom
lie preierren as oHennir the best
chance of success. His defeat was
foreshadowed from the hour that the
Convention made this blunder.though

The corruption and rascalities dur
ing Grunt's first term led to an organ'
izod revolt among the best Republic
cans, who also desired to cut loose
from the extreme views of leaders
who encountered the worst elements
and opposed any proper restoration of
iuv union.
There was a great opportunity, by a
combination of this disaffected branch
of the party with the regular Democ
racy, to acnieve a memorable success,
and to arrest the dangerous tendency
of the extremist. A faction of the so-
called Liberals undertook to force i
candidate on the Cincinnati Conven
tion, against the declared preference
of the party which had to furnish the
votes.
'lhat attempt failed, and Horace
Weeley became the nominee, against
his own belief that the true ticket
should have been Davis and Curtin

This last year of the evele, the year
1880, eloses with the election of a
tainted candidate, who was vehe
mently denounced as eorruit and un
worthy of confidence, at the time of
the Credit Mobilier and De Golyer
exposures, by the very party organs
that were recently most active and
conspicuous in his support. The
nomination of a Republican conven
tion was sufficient to absolve all his
sins.and to purify his soiled garments,
even in the estimation of the most ad
vanced reformers. We append the

Meaddville, December 11. This
community was startled this evening
by a rumor that James Larkins, Col
lector of City and County Tuxes, had
shot himself, and investigation proved
the rumor true. He was found about
one mile west of the city by a teamster
bleeding profusely, and was brought
to town, where he walked three
squares to his house . He told his
friends and the physicians that he had
fallen. Dr Laskells, on making an
examination, prounced the injury a
gun-shot wound, and Lurkin, who is
still conscious, acknowledged that he
hud shot himself. The surgeon pro
nounced the wouud a mortal one, the
bullet entering the centre of the fore
head and tuking an upward course.
Larkin has beeu in arrears in collec
tions and has been urged by city offi
cials and his bondsmen to make
greater efforts. Yesterday the county
made a levy en his property, and a
special meeting of City Council was
held to-night, at the request of his
boudsmen, to make a settlement.
There is no doubt Larkins k a de
faulter to a large amount, but the city
and county are amply secured with
nine bondsmen, prominent merchants
and business men. The city claim is
over 29,000 and the county $5,100.

Honesdale. December 8. -Wht'e the
excitement over the trial of Benjamin
K. Bortree for murdering Henry W.
S house of Easton Is monopoli.imr
public attention here, a diversion u
caused by developments In another
murder case which Judge Waller, who
is trying tne snouse murder case, will
have to try In a week or two over in
t'lke county. The evidence surround
ing this case is entirely circumstantial,
but very jxinted. Some time since
Thomas Burns. Sr.. living about a
mile from Benjamin Bortree's house
in fine county, bad some litiiratioti
with Andrew Cross, a neighbor. Cross
won, and Thomas Burns, to save his
farm deeded it to his son, Thomas
Burns, Jr., aged about 35, Young
Burns immediately began a fast life.
Horses, drinking, gambling and
women were his delights, resulting in
mortgages on his farm and frequent
quarrels with his fattier. They often
came to blows, and in an altercation
four weeks ago the son thrashed
the father severely. Not long after
ward tne dead body or tne son was
found In his room in his father's
house, the top of his head blown off,
with blood and brains scattered all
about the floor and walls. Near by
lay a gun. A coroner's jury took evi
dence, under the impression that it
was a suicide. The father testified
that he was in the room at the time
that the shooting was accidental, and
that the gun was in his son's band.
This led to further investigation and
resulted in a vote of five for acci
dental death and one for charging
crime to the father. The corpse had
been examined and the jury again
went over the evidence. The position
of the body, the nature of the
wounds aud condition of the room re
vealed the following facts: While
blood and brains were scattered about
the room the clothing of the father
was stainless. The wound showed
the shots had entered the head from
behind the son and from a hiirher ele
vation than the son's head. The
father was considerable taller than the
son, and this together with Burns' ad
mission that lie was in the room, led
the Coroner's Jurv to decide five to one
aginst, Burns. The juryman voting for
liurns was the one who had tone uls
bail. The prisoner was committed to
the Milford Jail this morning.

One Experience for Many.
"I had been sick and miserable so
long and had caused my husband so
much trouble and expense, no one
seemed to know what ailed me, that
I was completely disheartened and
discouraged. In this frame of mind
I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and I
used them unknown tc my family. I
soon began to improve and gain so
fast that my husband and family
thought it strange and uunatural but
when I lold them what had helped
me they said "Hurrah for Hop Bit
