August 2, 1877. quantity of hay was then reduced by two pounds each day, the amount of preserved food being increased by three-eighths of a pound daily, until ou the thirtietU day each horse received six pounds of tbe condensed forage, but no hay. The horses thus treated are reported to have compared in every respect favorably throughout, and at the end of the experiment with those which had been fed in the ordinary manner, bnt those which had received the second form of food were reported to be in a trirle better condition than the others. It is further said lhat the preparations are very palatable, and might even, on an emergency, be eaten hymen. A WILLIAM- SIMPLE' this would leave an ugly feeling with the vanquished.

It, was human nature that it should. We pressed our views publicly through the columns of Tin; Pot, and took other means bring them to the attention of high railroad authorities. Put the lawless demonstrations forbade the idea of compromise, and the war lias been fought out to the bitter end, with tlie result tliat the strikers have nearly everywhere succumbed to the inevitable. In some places and in some occupations, where the spirit of moderation and compromise prevailed, good feeling has been restored; but iu the main, both sides feel sore capitalists because of their heavy losses, and laborers because their strike has proved a failure. As the result of the discontent and sense of defeat by tho workingmen, there is evidence, everywhere almost, of a disposition to throw the labor question into politics, and it is not unlikely it may have a strong influence in deciding the political contests of the year.

We do not regret this, but on the contrary sympathize strongly with the laboring population in the determination to search out and remedy the causes that have dragged them down to starvation wages or enforced idleness. It is a marvel that in a land on which Providence is showering the blessings of bountiful crops, almost without parallel with an unsurpassed foreign demand for our surplus products there should be hundreds of thousands who lay down at night not knowing where the morrow's bread is to come from. Yet it is only too true. The poor man is growing poorer every day, and the holders of enormous masses of idle wealth are growing richer. The great middling class, on whose shoulders rest the progress and destiny of the nation, the traders, mechanics and farmers instead of being able to make both ends meet, are constantly falling behind.

Xor is the cause of tliis disheartening condition of affairs difficult to realize. It is the sacrifices, we are told, necessary to get back to specie payments. Since the war closed this has been the leading the sole financial idea of the party in power. Every move that has been made has been in the interest of the holders of government securities pur-eliaed during tho war for a mere sonfr. All flip energies of the nation have been devoted to doubling upthe value of this non-taxable property.

The bondholders, as soon as they gained one point, advanced their pickets to seize another. Tln law of lsti!) repudiating the contract under which the Pive-t wentie" were sold, was followed by the demonetizing silver law of 173. and this by tho resumption law of 1ST j. Since then we have had the policy of contraction the retirement of non-interesting bearing government notes, so as to give a monopoly of the currency to the national banks and bondholders. And now, to cap the climax, comes the servilo and corrupt tool of the Wall street bankers and sharks, Jon SitF.n-m vx, ith his pitiful plea that "coin" don't mean "coin" where bondholders are concerned, but means "gold." At one fell swoop by this unjust, illegal and monstrous repudiation of a solemn contract, be piles one hundred and sixty millions of dollars on our mountain of debt takes that sum.

with the millions of added interest, from the pockets of the tax-payers and adds it to the accumulated gains of the bondholders a free gift, extorted, stolen from the labor and industry of the laud. li it is this treason to the interests and welfare yes. possibly the very existence of the nation the labor party proposes to make war against, we are with them heart and soul. Put it will not do for them to palter with lying demagogues who preach that "one party-is as much to blame as the PI RSOSAL AX POUTICAL. Afieb all Wagner is not coming to America.

Fiji en ds of Deacon McKee, of the St. Ixmis W'ltjbe-Itcntovntt, say tlie civil suit entered against him by the United States to recover on account of his Wliisky King pecadilloi has leen pressed not so much with the hope of recovering the damages asked for, but to whip McKee into more fervent support of the Administration than the columns of his pajier have yet evoked. Hii.s. John Goodk, representative in Congress from Virginia, pronounces as utterly untrue the statement which has recently appeared in several newspapers that he had been writing letters to members of Congress asking them to vote for him as Speaker. He has written to no member on the subject, except in reply to friends who have requested him to become a candidate.

The London corresqondent of tlie Liverpool It-tily runt states that the bomieoiath-ists have discovered a certain remedy for sea-sickness.

Ax undoubted case, of enthanasia was that of the Tiiomasviiie (Ga.) mau who having lung suffered with cancer in the mouth, and being pronounced incurable by his physician, became much depressed and determined upon suicide. He went about his self-destruction in a very methodical and business-like manner. Ail his creditors were conferred with and ell paid up, even those to whom the amounts were not due. He proceeded leisurely and deliberately to set his house in order preparatory to taking the final step.

He then made his own coriin. After completing all necessary arrangements he coolly cut his throat. Jllltll I. BE JAM1. TJic I and Donnt of a l.w- Correcting some mistatements contained in a London letter to a Cincinnati paper, the New Orleans Dtmfuwt says: "Mr.

Tin: ir presence would insure quiet, tliey could be sent to any given point with as much facility from hero any other city in the country.

One thousand police for twenty-four hours would have been of more use than two hundred now, and have saved the city and county damages far exceeding the cost of that of men.

The Cincinnati Cvmrntrciitl is a journal of decidedly Satanic proclivities. It is endeavoring, in these days when tho lawless spirit is rampant in almost every community, to make the "point" against Mr. Risiioi-, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, that when he was mayor of Cincinnati he endeavored to enforce the laws against illicit whisky Helling and Sunday rowdyism. Observe the high moral tone of the Cninmtrr.ini. At the same time it commends Judge W'it, the Republican candidate forGov-ornor, as most decidedly "nut a total ab-Kinence man." "He takes his beverage blandly," says tbe Cummtrtial.

This is of no importance, only that it is a hint to the bummer class that while "vYkst has a fellow feeling for them, I'imiop will enforce the laws he finds on the statute books. The Commercial lias hail a good deal to say about the lawlessness of the strikers, but in its assaults on Bishop it lets out just as musli "of the spirit of the commune" as if it advised the ditching of a railroad train or a raid on a provision store. That spirit, wo take it, is dissatisfaction and contempt for all law. Bishop is held up to odium because he enforced laws to maintain public order. It is only a step from this to condemn all laws for the maintenance of property rights.

It runs in the same groove. The C'Hit mrrei'il had lietter hoist the red flag at ojce. Thk time for holding the Democratic State Convention was postponed from the eighth to the twenty-second of consequence of the disturbed condition of affairs in the self-evi dent to admit of delay. Since then it has been discovered that the "Knights of Pythias" will assemble at the State Capital in large numbers upon the day t-et for the Convention, and it has been urged upon the Chairman of the State t'ommittee to make a further postponement, ou account of a supposed want of accommodations in Harrisburg. Inquiries have been made in that direction and it has been ascertained there is abu ndant hotel accommodation and hall room.

An additional reason why there should not be any further postponment is the fact that under the new Constitution two months residence is required in each election district instead of, as formerly, ten days. The work of the campaign in the way of registiation should be com-pletcd by the first of September bein within sixty days of the election. If tho present chairman is to be continued, which we hope will be the case, lie ought to know it at tlie earliest possible moment, and perform his part, of the canvass, and be enabled to fulfill the duties necessarily involving upon a chairman. We are sorry the Convention was not held at an earlier date than August, and that interruption, caused by railroad diiiiculties, prevented it being held on the Sth. There is no necessity for postponing it further to ascertain what the 1'epublican Convention may The Democracy is always prepared to proclaim its principles and deal with current events without reference to the Republican party.

On a little frequented street, though in the immediate vicinity of the Ksplauade, tbe Boulevard and Isaac's Place, there stands a gloomy looking building, large, hue of severe looking architecture, and painted in sombre colors.

This is the Leiielitenljorg Palace, a name suggestive of a dark page in the history of the impts-rial family of Kussia. Many of the Citron-i'h readers will yet. remember the somewhat romantic story of the marriage of Czar Nicholas' favorite daughter to a dashing young German ouieer. The Duke of Jeui litenherg twas good looking, but comparatively poor and obscure, and it is said the wayward Princess made the lirst advance, and even that, the stern F.mperor consented to the marrige. only to avoid scandal.

At any rate, romance and royalty do not seem to agree well, and the union turned out liadly. The Duchess tired of her former idol, a gay and dashing, but at the same time scholarly and thoroughly honorable, German, and liegan to form liaisons, the. most notorious of which was with Count Strogonotf. After a life of mortified seclusion and constant study the Duke died, refusing to re -ognize on his death lied the last two children borne by the Princess. Immediately after his demise the latter was forced to marry Strogonotf.

and was banished from Kussia. She took up lier abode in Paris, where she died a few years ago. The children of the union have been somewhat under a cloud, and several matches proposed for the very accomplished daughter were broken off for some unexplained reasons.

J.St. Louis Glolie Long Branch Letter. 1 have met here recently an old friend who, a few years since, was one of the most resolute and philosophic of bachelors. He was grounded on reason, and he had at his tongue's end ail the arguments that distinguished anti-tnatrimonialists have nsed lor centuries. He was not tierce, he was calm and logical, and I have often said, ''If any man is safe from connubial perils, he is safe beyond pi rad venture." After exchanging greetings with my friend, he blurted out, "Well, I'm married.

I confess it; but please don't tell me that you knew 1 shouid lie; that you expected it; for I am no fool, and 1 have sworn a hundred times that to me marriage was absolutely imiio dlile." Subsequently lie gave me his Confidence. He was talking one moonlight evening on the beach with a young lady he bad known for five or six years. She was a friend of his sister, and he regarded her as a kind of adopted sister. He liad ilked her for her sonud judgment, strength of character and freedom of sentiment. They were walking quietly along, and discussing ilerber Spencer, i ne of the last, things he remembered distinctly was that they were illustrating tlie survi-Tt! of: he rlt test by examples within their own knowledge.

The next think he knew he had proposed to ln-r, and she was throbbing on liis liot-om like a volcano iu eruption, and sobbing out that she had adored him from the first moment slie had laid eyes on him.

The party that is to blame the party that must be made to sudor is the party that has wrought all this evil that has held absolute possession of the government for all these bitter years; the party that from the re pudiation of the greenback contract in 1SW, the "coin" contract of 1873, down to these dava of strikes, starvation, idleness and ruin, has een the humble, unfaltering1, help ful servant of the bondholders. It is the same to-day it has been for years. There is where the workiugmen must strike if they would reach not only their enemies, but the architects of almost universal ruin. Ik ltussia the serf, lisfore the emaneipa tion, was the absolute property of his master; if he obtained a piece of laud in a commune tlie commune could at any time deprive him of it, and he could neither alienate it nor leave it to his children after his death. "When the emancipation took place many of the peasants sold their plots of land, believing that the old communal system would be retained and tliat they and their children would continue to be provided for by the commune as hereto fore.

The land-owners and tlieir agents did their best to encourage this delusion, and lie consequence was that in many cases they bought back the land at nominal prices, while the peasants after having run ihi jugh the money which they thus cb taiued find that they have to work harder for their living than ever. This stare of things has produced a feeling of discontent among the emancipated serfs of Russia, which may at any moment break out in a terrible agrarian revolution Ir connection with the recent ra'lroad strike, the New York JCnninr Tout has a story that it for, that the llrie leaders settled tlie question as to whether they should strike, not upon tlie grounds of expediency, but. by mere chance. The men wlio had influence enough to bring the strike almut, or to prevt nt it, discussed the question in a liar-room, by the light of tallow candle. Tliey had no desire to join in a strike for higher wages, their only prievatxe being that certain men had be-n discharged whom they would like to have reinitiated.

Instead of weighing the arguments and then subniit'iiig the matter to their better judgments, they agreed that they would cast the candle on the floor, and abide by the decision of a mere chance. If tlie fl itnes should go o'lt tliey would enpage in the strike, if not, they would continue to woik. They made the experiment. The. candle flame expired, and the men brought upon th inselves the strike.

We have another case of a conscientous suicide, that of Jean IJaptiste Marias, of New York city, wine merchant, who many years ago immigrated to this country from France. lie lived in a little room over his Store. His haliits were peculiar in that he was so methodical, lie arose promptly at to a second, attended to business until 4, ami then, with the regularity of a clock, studied until 10, and then retired. Kvery move was made on time. He was much of a scholar, and was much consulted by learned men.

I Saturday morning last he was found dead, and the letter he left explained that he had taken poison. In it he told Ids laddlord tliat he contemplated suicide twenty days ago, but wished to re- main anve until ue comu provide ior tne payment of'all his debts. This having been done he was ready to die. The reason he gave was that he felt unmistakable symptoms of fever coming on him, and he preferred to kill himself rather than endureit. United States Marshall Douglas, of North Carolina, has been acuuitted of all charges against him, and will be allowed to hold his position a fact all Douglas Democrats will be glad to know for the sake of the young man's father's memory.

contrary, we believe lhat Mr. Benjamin share of the compensation allowed with several distinguished attorneys in that case was smaller than that of several others, and did not exceed The largest fee derived from the case was that of the late KoJert J. Walker, which amounted to S240.0oo. The late Louis also of our bar. received some os.ooo in the same case.

Large fees were also paid to the late Kdwin M. Stanton, we think; also to Jeremiah S. Black and Kd-muud Landolph, formerly of our bar. The case was one of immense importance, and in vol ved many millions of value, and the services of these eminent mists were not overpaid. It is an interesting and sorrowful laet.

tliat tbe Jate Kobert J. Walker, with all his great ability as a jurist and a financier, lost every dollar of this large fee by investing the whole amount in Sir Morton ivto's gtand railroad swindle and left his family in poverty. Mr. Benjamin was alike unfortunate or improvident, in his investment of his large professional revenues. Sugar planting swept off about Tehfnantept-c a large amount, and guano sjm dilation in South America the remainder of his hard earnings.

Finally the downfall of the Confederacy drove him a fugitive from our country. In an open lumr, rowed by a negro, he passed from Florida to Nassau, where he landed witli a single dollar in his pocket. The war had destroyed every vestige of his property. FxperlmenlN In the reparation ol Food ly Kusia. According to the liiral'ule Itux.te, tbe Russian Government has recently caused a series of experiments to be carried on in order to determine the value and utility of certain condensed preparations of forage.

To an army like tlie Jtussian, in which cavalry forms a chief element of strength, the question is naturally one of very great importance. During the trials alluded to, four kinds of preserved food were tested ty the cavalry of the Guard and of the Corps stationed in the military districts of I idessa and the Caucasus. The first preparation consisted of oatmeal, peas, rye and linseed compressed into cakes, weighing each four pounds, and said to contain as much nutriment as would be afforded by twelve pounds of oats, mid this is oue-tifth of the bulk of the latter. The second form of condensed food was similar to the first, with the exception that the rye was omitted. The third also was like the first, but wheat was substituted for rye; and in fourth this latter substance was replaced bv rye bread.

When required for use, the cakes had simply to be crumbled by band. The trials lasted for thirty days, and the results are said to have been exceedingly satisfactory. Horses were selected from various regiments and batteries, as nearty as possible alike in every respect. Half of the chosen horses were then fed for the thirty days on the ordinary rations, while to each of the others lour pounds of the condensed forage and ten pounds of hav were given daily for the first twenty-Jive days. The.
