Tni St. Louis Globe-Democrat
sees a ray of light in Ohio. It says :
"Just when everybody thought the
President'! policy would elect ft Dem
ocrat in Ohio this fall, along comes a
peat temperance movement in that
State, which is causing thousands to
quit rum and Democrtcj for sobriety
and Republicanism. A' temperance
movement is to Democracj what a
grasshopper plague is to a cornfield."

Tdet have just discovered a gang
of land-pirates in Missouri who have
been "operating" in that Stato and
Illinois, for the two past years. This
gang was organized with sundry
modern improvements, one of which
was the engagement of a cunning
rascal who played preacher, and con
ducted "revival meetings" in order to
draw crowds of , respectable people
and thus facilitate the stealing . of
horses. The exploits of the band
include nearly every crime in the
calendar, and its niansgcment was
bold and ingenious. : ,
Governor Stone, of Mississippi, is
reported to hare said about the Kem

lief nobody wonld be convicted for
these outrages, because the popula

furnish a jury which would convict
any one, though the murderers are
well known. This is a bad charac

Some time ago a raid on illicit
distilleries in Southwestern Virginia
was made, in which a citizen who
accompanied the Collector's party
was; killed. Commueioncr Rauiu
has received a letter, signed by
about fifty prominent citizens of that
locality, among whom are two County
Judges, two District Attorneys and
other officials, asking that a sufficient
force of . United States soldiers be
sent to oo-operate with them in bring

Wuejc members of Congress were

So also, the present "Heads cf
Departrasnts," who hare thrown

such raptures, over the economy
which the eivil service reform is
bringing - about have strangely
neglected to reduce their own very
liberal pay. A message from our
good President on the assembling of
Congress in October, recommending
that, in the further Interests of reform
his own salary and thoso of the mem
bers of bis cabinet be also subjected
to the cutting down process, would
prove to the country the entire earn
estness of the Administration in the
cause of economy. But if, while the
subordinates be subjected to the
pruning down process in pay, and
the consolidation of labor, the salaries
of high officials remain untouched,
the people will not take much stock
in the equity of a system, that thus
discriminates against one class of
tbeir servants, while the other, but
higher cla3s, go untouched.

St. Locis, June 15. A dispatch
from Rockwell says : Last Tuesday
evening Mrs. Garner was permitted
to enter the jail to remain with her
husband - until his execution. This
morning on opening the cell tbe sher
iff found Mrs. Garner dead and her
husband almost lifeless. A doctor
was sent for, but before he arrived
Garner died. Both left letters. In
one, written by Mrs. Garner, she said
she purchased morphine at Dallas
two weeks ago and took it into tbe
jail in her mouth. A question then
arose as to whether there was enough
to kill both, and which of them
ehonld lake tbe largest portion of it
Mrs. Garner evidently took enough
to kill, but there were marks about
her neck which showed she had also
been strangled. Garner also took
some of tre poison, but when found
be had cotton stuffed in his nostrils,
a handkerchief crammed in bis month,
and a wire, the bail of a bucket in
his cell, tiristed around his neck.
Evidently not being satisfied that
tbey had taken eneugh morphine to
kill, tbey finished the job by strangu
lation. Mrs. Garner's letter further
says that it was not through her hus
band's persuasion that she gave up
all to go with him, but for bis sake to
whom she was devotedly attached
and ber heart's wish. About 8,000
persons assembled at Rockwell this
morning to witness ice execution,
but when tbey learned that Garner
bad cheated the gallows, they quiet
ly but respectfully dispersed to their
homes. .

Sax Francisco, June 17. A
Portland dispatch says a telegram to
day to Lieut Wilkinson, now at
Walla Walla, conveys the startling
news of an uprising of Indians ; that
they are murdering tbe whites at
Mount Idaho, situated sixty miles
from Louiston. He asked to have a
boat dispatched at once from Walla
Walla to convey soldiers to Le wiston.
Tbe order has been complied with.
All available troops at Walla Walla
will be dispatched at enro tJ tbe
scene of difficulties.
Another dispatch says several set
tlers living on Cotton Creek have been
massacred by Indians, and the mes
senger "who brought the intelligence
to Lapwal was wounded, beiog en
trapped by tbe savages. Gen. How
ard, who is beyond WaHa Walla,
has just telegraphed to Adjutant
General Wood in this city to for
ward all available troops without
delay to tbe scene of trouble. Great
excitement prevails. It is thought
reports have been exaggerated. Full
particulars will be sent as soon as
known.
It i fair to assume that Southern
Democrats are, juat at this time, do-
in sz their level best to secure ft repu
tation for fairness. They know that
ft great deal depends upon the spirit
they now exhibit, and if they ever
made an effort to be telerant and
fair they are making it now. Many
of their" most eminent leaders have
joined in a well-meant endeavor to
whip tbcm into tbe traces, and men
like Watcrson and Hill urge them to
make a strong pull far solid ground.
Good friends like Postmaster-General
Key and others are pointing out the
error of their old ways and coaxingly
pulling them toward a better hoe of
conduct Everything conspires to
put them on their guard as to a man
ifcstalion of tbeir old spirit, and self-
interest and policy tend to bring out
all there is of tolerance and fairness
in them.
Particularly favorable ought the
conditions and circumstances to bo in
South Carolina and other States sur
rendered to tbe Democrats. The
surrender was made as a pacificatory
measure, wo were told, which was to
be met bv a show of tolerance and
magnanimity on tbe part of the Dem
ocrats that would confuse the radi
cals and make tbe patriots glad. Tbe
Southern Democrats were to do tbeir
best to bring about a realization of
the hopes of their friends and the ful
fillmenl of promises made for them,
If there ever was a favorable time to
judge them it is now.
Ibe lion. 1. 15. Johnson was
elected Representative from Sum
ter county, South Carolina. No one
disputed hi3 election and there was
no contest. He was a Republican
and acted with the Chamberlain Leg
islature. After the eurrrender the
Democrats called upon the members
of tbe Mackey House to apologise,
or to purge themselves of contempt
in having entered the Chamberlain
Legislature. Many of the members
came forward and apologised as di
rected. Many others declined, and
anion? them was Mr. Johnson, of
Sumter county. The Charleston
papers described the scene when
Johnson appeared. When called up
on to purge himself of contempt, be
replied in substanco that be was du
ly elected to represent the people of
bis county; that in carrying out tbe
wishes of his people he bad identified
himself with tbe Mackey House; that
he conscientiously believed he was
right in the course be then pursued.
He then said ; "Believing that I was
right, with all due respect fur this
House, I can't stultify myself by ask
ing pardon for an offenso which my
conscience tells mo I am not guilty
of."
That was a good speech. It was
respectful, and it was to tbe point
In any Northern State Legislature
that speech would have made Mr.
Johnson's political enemies his per
sonal friends. But his manly action
in this caso failed to shame tbe Dem
ocrats, and tbe war on bini continued,
ne made another sncccb. iu the
course of which he said: "It is evi
dent, Mr. Speaker, from the disposi
tion shown by the gentlemen, that
it is not their intention to award me
the seat to which I bare been elect
ed. Yet, with all due respect, I can
safely say that, though I be denied
my seat, I can still keep my self
respect" The Charleston papers volunteer
the information that the House wa3
very impaticrt with Mr. Johnson,
and would hardly hear bim through.
They robbed him of his seat because
he acted the part of a man, and al
most denied him tbe privilege of ex
planation. This is ono case. Another is the
unseating of the Republican members
from Charleston, who were elected
by large majorities. Tbey were
elected when protection was guaran
teed to colored men. Now that they
are unseated, tbe Democrats say
"There is nothing unfair about it. A
new election will bs held, and if en
titled to tbeir scats the Republicans
will be returned." lucre is now a
Democratic Governor; the whole
State Machinery is in Democratic
hands. Tbe colored men of tbe
Charleston District will enter tbe con
test undermost disadvantageous cir
cumstances. The Iiemocrats under
stand all this, and hence their arbitra
ry action in unseating the Charleston
members.
Another case: The Democrats in
the Legislature decline to vote for
any appropriation for the free schools
unless school books published in tbe
North are withdrawn. Tbey want
histories written entirely from tbe
boutbern standpoint and want
everything pared down to tbe South
Carolina standard.
These examples show the Southern
Democracy at its best. It is need
less to ask what it is at its worst
PostmaBtcr-Geoeral Key paid in his
Knoxsrille speech that "while the
South was fighting for abstractions
tbe North was attending to business."
lie might have added that tbe North
rarely threw away a good opportuni
ty,whercas tbe South always docs.

AiRYiEw, Pa., June 13. A ter

noon four or five of tb ss outcasts
stopped there. , In the eveu'ag they
were joined by quite a number of
others. Some of tbe party was well
supplied with liquor. The whole
party indulged pretty freely, the
carousal being kept up until a late
hour. About midnight two of tbe
tramps becamo engaged in an . alter

fen&ive. Tbe Russians have sufferea
heavy losses before Kars. . The ar
tillery engagements between the be
siegers and garrinon continue.
London, June 17. In Asia the
principal feature has been the partial
withdrawal of the Russian right wing
and a closer investment of Kars and
Batoum. The total Russian force
available for active operations in
Asia Minor is about 140,000. Of
these 40,000 are around Kars, and
Batoum, aud 30,000 between Kars
and tbe line of Bayazid and Toprak
Kali, thus leaving about 40,000 for
the centre against Mukhtar Pasha's
40,000 in a strong position. These
figures show that the Russians have
no men to spare if they intend to keep
tbe country tbey have so for occupied,
thouirh if tbeir object were simply to
effect a rapid advance and defeat the
Turks as preliminary to peace, tbere
is nothing to prevent them doing so.
It is confirmed from several sides
that the Russians are not bent on
rapid operations of this latter kind,
but, on tbe contrary, are doing their
work thoroughly, and are systematic
ally taking charge over the adminis
tration of the country as tbey ad
vance. Thus the former Sandjak
of Schuragel is now completely incor
porated with Russia, under a Rus
sian Civil Governor. It seems in
obedience to tbis plan of consolidating
their conquests and making all sure
behind them that the Russians will
make no attack in the direction of Erze-
roum nntil the centre and left wing
are quite free and prepared to co-operate
therein.
In connection with the foregoing
the Moscow Oaselte pignificantly re
marks: "When we have secured
tbe freedom of Sclavs and the ques
tion of material compensation arises,
the incorporation ot Armenia with
Russia will probably decided as
much ou Armenian as Russian in
terests. Both combatants bavu been
reinforced during the week, tbe Rus
sian left wing having received rein
forcements which are supposed to
have traversed Persian territory in
order to reach their ' destination."
London, June 17. A dispatch
dated Erzeroum, tbe 14th, says
Afurktar Pasha is at Zewen. He has
received a reinforcement of twenty
four battalions and two batteries.
He intends sending succor to Kars
from along the whole line. The
Turkish right wing, which is at Deli
baba, has been ordered to march to
Topark Kale. Of the Turkish left
wing six battalions are between Pe
hek and OIti, and eight are concen
trated at Olti. There is also a Turk
ish battalion at Koprukio, one at
Hassan Kale, and five at Devebpvra.
The Russian left wing is at Kara-
kilissa, with columns at Dyadin and
tbe direction cf an. Eleven
Krupp guns of fifteen centimetres cal
ibre have arrived at Erzeroum from
Trebizonnd. The Mussulman popu
lation of Erzeroum are being-called to
arms, various telegrams from the
Turkish tide claim that the Turks, by
the superiority of their artillery fire,
prevented the Russians from erecting
works to attack Kars.
London, Jane 17. As regards tbe
European seat of war, the principal
point worthy of remark has
been the extraordinary stringency of
tbe precautions taken by tbe Rus
sians to prevent any thingj transpir
ing relative to their operations. Al
though the correspondents in Ron-
mania number S20, not one of
them has given any real infor
mation which would assist the for
mation of an opinion as to where the
Russians intend to cross the Danube,
Tbis increased secrecy, taken in con
junction with the issue of decrees for
new loans and ft large addition to tbe
array, is interpreted by some, seem
ingly with good reason, as a sign
that Russia no longer hesitates, and
important events may shortly be ex
pected as soon as the Danube, which,
all accounts agree, is lalliue, is in a
condition to permit operations.
Of course, under these circumstan
ces opinions relative to the
locality of the Russian
advance must be formed from indi
cations observable from the southern
bank of ibe Danube. These obser
vations seem still to indicate some
where not far from Nickopolis as the
spot where the most serious effort will
be made. Tbe Russians are making
a noble concentration of troops at the
mouth of tbe rivers liode and Aluta,
across which they bare thrown
bridges, inero is scarcely any
doubt that the troops concentrated
between those two rivers form the op
erating army. It seems as though
tbe Russians would make an attempt
to cross at this part of the river,
whilst energetically engaging Rust
chuck with heavy artillery. Tbis
latter conclusion is supported by tbe
arrival of a good quantity of heavy
artillery, especially mortars, at Ginr
gevo, and the fact that tbe Russians
have occupied tne landing of Stock
ton, opposite the town, and are es
tablishing batteries tbere despite the
Turkish fire. The Turks also think
the passage will be attempted in
force between Nikopolisand Sistova,
and have considerably reinforced the
camps and garrisons at those places.

New York, June 13 Captain

which was sunk at Huanillos in the
great earthquake on the Pacific coast
on the 9th nit., arrived in .New l ork
as a passenger on board tbe steam
ship Crescent City. Ho sav3, aside
from a frightful rumbling sound, Lis
attention was arrested bp tho extra
ordinary phenomena on shore, tbe
mountain above leing so much agi
tated that great rocks became de
tached and rolled down toward the
sea, resembling bills of fire Fur
thermore, the water at the anchorage
suddenly recede.!, snbat the ship in
tight fathoms touched the bottom
At the eamo tiaio it was observed
that the ships were surging round
and round and in opposite directions,
and the anchor chains becoming en
tangled beneath the copper, yards
and masts interlocking, the. air re
sounded with falling spars and tbe
era h of bulwarks- Tbe water al:
came whirling in like a maelstrom,
causing the Geneva to swing round
at the rate of 3 or 10 kaot3 an hour
in a great circle until she struck
agaiust a rock which tore cut a part
of the bottom. The ship waa then
forced violently in an opposite direc
tion and went down. Captain Mac-
1 ton says it seems to bim from the
sulphurous or electrical appearance
cf the mountain that a volcano was
bursting out of its sides. Rocks
were tumbling about with a frightful
noise, and everything was lighted
up. He thinks that the damage to
the shipping was caused, not so
much by tho tidal wave, as by the
upward rash of the water and rotary
currents, driving the ships repeatedly
against each other.

as far into the future as far as we can
sec. The evils of Solid South io
our politic, so long dreaded, are full
upon us. It is useless to argue as to
who is to blame for this, or why it is
as it is ; tbe fact remains that tbe
South is to-day solid, and is about to
remain so as v ermont is to remain
Republican. As Irog as it is safe to
calculate upon ermont ae a Repub
lican State, it will be safe, for purpos
es of estimate, to put the Southern
States on tbe Democratic side. Not
that they are Democratic because
Vermont is Republican 1 use tbe
comparison only aj an illustration
Men ak me, 'How long do you think
tbe Sooth will remain solid on na
tional issues ?' And I answer, 'How
long do you tbiuk Vermont will be
Republican ?' Nothing less than ft
break-UD that will cause Vermont to
vote ft ticket other than Republican
will influence the South to go other
wise than Democratic. Perhaps as
to two of the Southern States tbere
should be some aualiScation. but
there is certainly no immediate pros
pect that any of tbem will go other
wise than Democratic.
I never bad much confidence in the
talked of Whig revival in the South.
Tbe nearest we will get to it is tbe
'Conservative' party in Virginia.
Yet this Conservative party, as they
call themselves, is nothing but Dem
ocratic when it comes to material is
sues, 'and a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet' Tbe South is
knit to the Democratic party by a tie
that goes back into tbe war and be
fore the war. As long as tbe two
present parties occupy the land
which promises to be for some time
tbe South will act with the Demo
cratic party. I am not saying any
thing about tie wisdom of it, but
merely stating a fact
Kaalb t'arallaa BeeoaeiliaMoa.
The white Democracy of Abbe
ville, South Carolina, are so devoted
to reconciliation that tbey propose to
place it oa an enduring basis by run
ning every white Republican out of
the country. Tbe excellent commu
nity recently held a meeting to se
cure peace, and the speaker advised
the appointment of a committee to
secure tho desired end as soon. as
possible. Tbe Abbeville Prett states
tbe reason for the course io this
clear and forcible manner.
"As long as a white man is allow
ed to stir up Etrife tbere will be coo
tention and dissatisfaction. When
ever tbey retire their pretensions we
will have peace. Will they do so
peaceably, or do they intend to force
violence: lolence issuro to lollow
whenever they maliguthe whites and
attempt to alienate the negroes from
us. beoerer a bead of this sort
shows itself it will be only service to
one's country to cut it off. Since tbe
death of Jo. Ciewr, in Laurens, there
has been no trouble in that county,
and there would be none here either
if it were not for a few fomeoters of
strife; aod if tbey do not desist here
after thev will be dealt severely
with."
