The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCCLL, Editor nd Proprietor. WEDNESDAT.... December 17.US4. A cood many Democrats are hust line around to get a found pair of stockings to hang up at Christmas when Grover Sauta Claus come along. Some fool in Indiana, elated over the lute Democratic success, suggests that the er.gle be displaced on the National coin, and the rooster be substituted. The Philadelphia Xnr says that "one thing can be considered as set tled, and that is. Senator Cameron will Bucceed himself in the United Stateo Senate." The rains of lart week raised the Ohio river, and 10,000,000 bushels of coal were started from Pittsburgh for Southern cities, anxiout-Iy awaiting their supply of winter fuel. Since the election, large numbers of colored people are leaving Geor gia and the Carclinas. It is very evident they do not believe that Democratic rule will improve their prospects in the South. The Kansas City Journal suggests that Missouri office-seekers who vis it the National capital on the 4th of March won't nerd to take overcoats "The moss on their bcks will be thick enough to keep them warm." While the Democratic journals are bickering over the probable members of Cleveland's cabinet, it appears to be generally conceded that Thongs F. Hayard of New Jer sey will t-uccced Mr. Frelinghuyten as Secretary ol State. "Turn the rascals out."' They have paid 81,07,000,OO0 ol the pub lic debt, reduced the aunual interest over STV'.OOO. and have a Treasu ry full of tuouey. They have prov ed that Democrats whe declared the National debt would never be paid were false prophets. "Turn the ras cals out."' The lawyers of Ohio are going to reap a harvest from the upsetting of the Scott license law. Many of the counties have received and expend ed the saloon taxes gathered under that law, and will now resist the re funding of it. The saloon keeper will of course sue for it, and long and expensive litigation will follow. It is very edifying to note the vir tuous indignation of a portion of the Democratic press over the at tempt to steal General Logan's seat in the Senate, now that the fraud has been proven. Before the proof was forthcoming, these same fellews were howling that the rascally Re publicans were trying to cheat them. This promises to be a most profit able year for the Postoffice Depart ment, as 4,000,000 Democrats ex pecting office will be addressing their dear friends, and they will be writing back "help me, and I"ll help you", and then the disappointed fellow,will write and tell how it hap pened, and their friends will return letters of condolence, and so it will count up in the revenues of the de partment. The Republican party is reaping one benefit from the result of the late campaign. The nonsensical idea that a party can prosper, with bolters and kickers in full commun ion in its councils, has keen knock ed out of it. In New York, and elsewhere, these malcontents are be ing summarily hustled out of the ranks,, and in future the voice of the majority will.be the law of all, snd we will be found fighting the enemy and not ourselves. Senator Cooper gives notice through the columns of his paper, the Media American, that he is not a candidate for United States senator, and expects to vote for the re-election of Senator Cameron to this position. He explains his attitude as lcllows: "He believes the party should not lose any opportunity to show its re gard for the tariff. The re-election of Senator Cameron will bo notice to all the world of a firm resolve by Pennsylvania to have Protection properly represented by une whos- life has been identified wiih the cause. Thk Prohibition racket was worked for all there was in it, in the Northern Republican States, but in the South, where it might have done damage to the Democracy, it was serenely left fdone. Thus: "St. John received in the ten leading States of the South 1,S27 votes, as follows: Alabama, CIO, Arkansas, W0; Delaware, 5-"; Florida, 72; Miss issippi, (XX); Georgia, 181; Louisiana, 338; Xorth Carolina, 425; South Cnrolina, O00; Virginia, 143. Doesn't this look very much as if the apostle of temperance was used as a tender to the Democratic machine." The Democratic City Committee of Philadelphia is investigating charwps made against Ilense!, chair man of their State Committe for dis tributing Prohibition electoral tick ets. Tb ftct that the Democrats oilod and ran the Prohibition ma chine i now weU fciwwn, and it was probably that vote which Her.sel counted on, when he boasted that the Democrats would carry this State.

It is the habit of the average Democratic patriot to declare indig nantly, whenever there i9 opportun ity, that nobody is fool enough to think that rebel claims against the Government will ever bo paid. Yet from time to time Congress is coolly asked to provide for some of these claims. Last week Representative Peel offered three bills in the House providing that certain persons shall be recompensed for property in Ar kansas taken by the military au thorities in the war.

The so called Independents do not seem to be exactly welcome anywhere. Perhaps it is fair to say that the qualities upon which they pride themselves are precisely tho-e which make them unwelcome. A corres pondent of the .s'ff (Democratic) writes in somewhat plain language as follows . "Candor com pels us to say that we have an additional reason for insist ing upon the restoration of the Inde ptndent Republican" or, more properly speaking, the Republicans' who nr ndt to be depended upon I to their former position and fellow ship. In the words of Holy Scrip ture, they have long been a rotten ness in the bones of their own party, and they have finally done their best to produce its complete over throw. It is not too much to say that their presence in the Democrat ic camp has already sown the seeds of distrust and distraction, if not of dissolution, in the great historical organiz?tion. Let all true Democrats shun these brazen faced intruders, who in the past have , tr their most unscrupulous and foul mouthed traducers." For precisely these reasons the Republican party has no burning anxiety to invite them straight back into its caucuses and nomi nating conventions. It is willing that they should now vote one Re publican ticket before undertaking the task of controlling Republican IX. I tin I.UIIB.

It is safe to predict from the past history, that the Democratic party i h:i funic into nowpr to stav there I must be graUlving to the patriots who battled for the good cause dur- ing four lotg and suffering years. a solid south front to the ret of the I United States. During the next twenty years, through Negroism, through Warmothism and Kellogg issij, rampant over her fair domain, the solid South, with ballots in hand gallantly combated for self-government and against centralization. The stubborn fight was deemed by many even among us a useless and impolitic one, but as we were con tending for principles, not men, for our very manhood, no offices, we passed to the front; we closed our ranks after every defeat, and finally in November, lbTo we elected Sam- We were robbed of that election, as we had been robbed cf everything save our sacred honor. Did the solid south ever despair? Never! She again buckled on the armor; she flung defiantly her ban ners to the breeze and inarched in serried ranks to the contest, and dog cedly n sisted the onslaughts of her bitter political enemies. Eight years of misrule had swept over the country since the election of Tilden, Green backers, Prohibition ists, Independents, and God knsws what other isrr.s, have ruled other sections of our common country during that time, but the solid South stood stern and grim, under the na- ! lional flag. She was the Spartan band j around which rallied Northern Dem ocracy, and the traitors, the rebels, the vassals of other days, are the victors ol to-dav.

The citizens of Redfield held a meeting this afternoon for the pur pose of thoroughly organizing to re sist any effort to destroy property or burn the city, threats to this effect having been freely made by the Ashton and Frankfort parties.

Baltimore, Dec. 12. Officers of the steamer Mason L. Weems, which arrived this morning from the Rappahannock River, report a fearful loss of life amoisg the color ed oystermen on that river in the storm of Tuesday last. About .'10 colored oystermen were out in their canoes when the storm arose. The gale capsized atmost all of the boats, and those which escaped being cap sized were unable to reach the shore, and it is suppysed were sunk. The men were thrown into the rough water and were unable to swim to the shore. Many of them clung to the boats for a time, but were finally washed away and drvwncd. Very few of them es caped. Thirteen bodies have been recovered already, and fourteen more are missing. It is scarcely possible that any of these latter have escaped death. The whole number drowned was twenty-seven.

Rates! for living were never higher in Washington than they are now. The hotels have put their prices up ever tince the season has opened. Ollice-seekers coming here this win ter should purchase return tickets and brine plenty of money with them.

The amiable hotel pro prietor said he could accommodate him with the room and board desir ed upon the fifth iloor f-r 8140 a week. "But that is more than my salary." "I can't help that," said the landlord. "We have no troub le in getting those figures." This same Senator tried for rooms in a fashionable fiat, and found that on the lop floor he could get four otnall rooms for $250 a month. This did not include board. Room rents have! also gone up.
