THE BLUE IDGE Railroad is
valued for taxation at $72,456. Yet
millions were appropriated for its
construction.
SEVERAL NORTIEIRN p apes have
propagated the absurd and stupid
slander that Governor Hampton has
caused the recent arrest of Frank
Moses, in order to shield Chamber
lain from the further accusations of
"our native young governor" ; this
action being, they charge, in con..
sequence of a corrupt bargain be -
tweon Hayes and IIlmpton. Whilo
we would ho ploased to seo greater
activity displayed in bringing
Chamberlain and his crew to justice,
we consider the above slander too
contemptible to require serious
contradiction.
Hints on Nominating Candidates.
The State Executivo Committee
havo recomnIended a scheme for
primary elections, which is, in its
general featuros, similar to that
adopted by the Fairfield Democracy.
It contains three suggl("estions, how
evor, which shu)111(1 be adopted here,
if not oflici:dly, yet individually by
the candidates and the county
chairman. Our schwne proviles
that candidates sh::1l be pledged c
the suggestions of the State Com -
mitteo is that they forward their
pledge "o the county chairman. Thle
third suggestion follows naturally
from the second. The first is also
good, bocanse a subordinate club
may not be unanimous, and, more
over, there should bo no combina
tions. We give the suggestions,
and commend them to parties inter
ested :
1. Aspirants for the position of
candidates should be anhnounced in
diviluFs.ly in any mode deemed lrop
cr by themselves or their friends,
but should ho placed distinctly be
fore the Denocratie party on (heir
own merits, and not as the cundidato
of any organized body of Demo -
crats.
2. Each aspirant for the position
of candidate, when ho necepts the
nlomination so mnado, shall itmmedi.
ately notify the county' chairman in
writing of that fact, and in the same
commnunication stal.o that he is~ a
miember of some loca;l clb, and1(
subIscribe to the followviing ple-dge:
"I agree to abido by and suitpport
the nominations of the DemocraLtic
party, and not to accept either a
nomination or an oilico fromt any
other source than thme regularly con..
stituted Democratic organ in:tion.
3. At least five (days before the
primary election, tihe counity chair
man shall notify the Doec ratic
Clubs of thoe aspirants who haive
thus qualilied thmemmselves for theo
p)osition of candidates, and voles
cast for any other person or per
eons shall not be countod.
A Bad Outlook for Republicans.
'Tho New York //kredd takes the
recent Republican Congressional
caucus as a text for o, sermon to
that party of moral ideas. Jt lays
before it a dishm of un palatable truths.',
in the follo)wing- words:
Thme. Repnblican leaders, when
thtey had1( their dloors bolted and
their guardA set outside, ought to
have begunm by t.l1 'y an account of
stock. This is not a very pleasant
operatdion for them, for thboy will
discover that they have been, so to
speafk, carr'1ying on bunsi ts at a
steady loss for ta good mtny years.
In 1866 they had ini the' senateo
twent-y-soven majority ;in 186k, the
y'ear inl which General Granut be
came PresidentI, this hamd increased1
to forty,two- ; in 1871, in a full
Senate, they had fifty majority ; in
1873 they hmad but thirty ; in 1876
it had fallen to ten, and at pbresenit
they have but two majority, count
ing Judge Davis as a Dem'noera,t, but
includ(ing Senator Shatron, who is
permarnontly absent. In th h ouso
they have been runn) fing (down hill in
the same way, only more rapidly.
In 180G they had 105 majority in1
the House : in 1808 it had risen
to 120, in 1819' it fell to eighty-six,
in 1870 they had but sixty--seven,
in 1871 the Republican majority was
only 30, in 1873 it fell to seventeen,
in 1876 the tables wore turned and
the Democrats came in on wvhat was
called the "groundswell" and had
seventy majority, and in the present
House they have fifteen.
To sum up the situation, thm nRe
piblicans had when General Grant
came in, in 1869 a imniority of forty
two in the Senate and of eighty-six
in the House. To-day they have a
majority of two in the Senate, and
are sure to bo in the minority next I
year, while in the House they are in
a minority already. As to the
future-the terms of twenty-five
Senators expire in March, 1879, of
whom r:eventeen are Republicans
and eight Democrats. Only five of
their successcrs have so far been
elected, and of these five Messrs.
Sargent and Matthews are succeeded
by Democrats ; Mr. Allison succeeds
himself. and two Democrats have C
Democratic successors. Of the six j
Democratic Senators whose succes,1
sors are still to be chosen only two
are in doubt. Of the fourteen
Republican Senators whose succes
sors are to be elected six are certain
to be succeeded by Democrats, and <
several others are in doubt. Leav- f
ing doubtful cases to stand as they
are, it is ele-tr that the Senate on the
fourth of next 'March must have a 1
Democratic majority of at least ten. 3
Ti.(e Republicans have therefore lost i
the Senate ; that they can no longer
hope to save, and the question is, of
course, whether they can recover
control of the House.
\Wh-it are t!rir hopes of tho next
lI'use ? We have taken the trouble
to l'oIk Over the n:>rit:es of the
meibcrs of the present House.
Many pr.1sons will rememnber that I
in uncommonly large number of n
ilistricts were carried in 1"76 by ,
narrow nmajorities, and we hav;
ma1"1de a i.list of all the members whot
held their seats by majorities tss C
than a thousa[nd ; of these there are r
thirtv-four Republicais and nine
tee Diernocrats. If we cotutnt only
those who came in by less than live i
1u1llred majority we fin-1 sixteen a
l)eiu' crats and nineteen llepubli- g
When a general has lost campaigmn t
ifter c-impaign working oa a fixed
line of op:rations, if he is wise it I
will occur to him by and by that i
perhaps it is not tho fault of the i
troops, nor of his subordinate coim- t
rnander s ; but that he himself has s
blundered in taking and maintain
ing a wrong line of operations. t
)ur Rlepublican friends have, how v
ver, not got that far yet, if the i
reports from Washington may be b
relied on. 'Tliey mean to "light it <
mt on the old line ;" they are get
Ling 'Ite "bloody shirt" ready to i
raiso once more as their banner ; y
Lhey must, they think, give the
outhiern question one more trial. i
1his is certainly spirited conduct, c
onsidering the figures which we a
iavo collectel above ; but it is i
mtrdly wise. They have fought on 1
umat line under far more favorable ~
uireumstances in the past ten years t
han they can ever hope, to again. u
md they have lost both Houses in a
bieso prolonged camp)aigns. Had s
h1ey not better change ? The e
lresidlent is reported to havo said a
mat when lie mnto the White H-ouse e
ie found his party' moribund, and f
hlat lie had been trying ever since 3
imi life into it. Whether he c
e:ally said it or not it is true.(
[t is the thorough acqluaintance 0'
>f the lRadicalsa with these truthsa
hlat is nmakinag them so desperate,.
'hie South is practically solid
ugainst. them n and their only hope
F; to fire the Northern heart, and
bius captuiro a few close Congres -
donal.l dlistricts. Though this is i
wot a probability, still it is possible, r
md the Democrats must be vigilant
ihomuld the Itepubllicans gain the
retg f capturing the lower r
[Louse oif Congress, it will put' them ti
n much b)etter tiima for the race of
1.880. But if the Democrats, be-.
sides gainin.g the Sem,te, p)reserve~
~heir grasp on thme House, theyK
vill havec a walk -over in the next
re'sidential election, so far as the t
.tlpublians ario conecrned. It is I

The phonograph will also be a
ource of comfort and consolation
o long suffering wives whose hus
>ands are in the habit of staying
>ut late at night aul returning in
ho small hours to wrestle with the
:ey-hole, and evontu.illy go to bed
vith their boots on. To get even
vith these wretches, the po.,r
roman has to sit up and wait t! ir
oming in order to more eflv ually
roe her mind. Having her phone
,raph, she can speak a vigorous
ecture into it, and, fixing the clock
vork so that i,t will go off at the
ime she knows he will return, she
an compose herself to sleep, con
dent that her representative will
o her work with the necessary
'igor and emphasis, and that the
'ictim will have to endure it. He
eay raise the window and pitch the
>onograph into the street, but the
Qachine will none the less have its
ay out, and in this case will have
he immediate neighbors for listen,
rs. For the curtain-lecture busi
ess the phonograph will be of
reat advantage, as it can be set to
o off at any specified time, like an
larm clock. A woman specially
:ifted in invective and sarcasm, and
aving a good flow of speelh, co uld
to a thriving business by supplying
lates to those of her sex less gi:te:l
ri the science of combing down
ecreant spouses and re lucin_ them
o a state of pliability and won't -do
o-any-more. Many family jars
iight be pleasantly adjusted by
he :h.nograh. The husband and
rife could scold it out into their
istruinents, and leave them on the
ureau for the housemaid to take
ut into the back yard, where they
ould sputter at each other without
oing any harm. Right at this
oint, however, there is a startling
ossibility. Mr. Edison's arophone
i only a colossal telephone that
onveys sound for tna miles. The
larming capabilities of such :ui
istrument are apparent when th
cader contemplates an iratt:
roman, whose husband is out later
han he ought to be, in possession
f a voice ten miles longr and as big
s a clap of thunder. T1he clock
trikes twelve, on two ; the whole
ity is wrapped in silence, when
dnya voice cries through 'the
tartled air, awakening every one
rom sleep, "John Henry Jones,
ou come home right off, or you' 11
atch it." Such developments of
omestic discipline are among the
larmning possibilities of Mr. Edi,
on's inventions. Nevertheless, wve
ro incli .ed to regard him
S one of the wonders of the
rorld. Whiilo Huxley, TyndallI,
pencer and the other theorists
i~lk and spCculatO, ho quietly pro0
uces accomplished facts, and, with
is marvelous inventions, is push1
ig the wvhole world ahead in its
iarch to the highest civilization,
laking life more enjoyable, and

TOTAL AI8TINENCE S4AVING WINE TILL IT
RtIPENS.
There is an curiousq story about some native
wines which are' ~ Iy advertiscd nowa
days, and have . ly been put upon
the market. Di. . 1.. the well-known
grape-grower or C :, died in 187r.
Some of his heir. '.:.e ''c,- tempcrance
views of such extrerne k.,,J, that they were
unwIllIng to allow the stock of w;nes then on
hand to be sold or any more to he made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometim,.' left to decay uipon
the vines. It is only inv :hat the other heirs
have succeeded In arrauf~ ng for a settlement
of the estate and the sale ot the wines on
hand. Among these Is a wino of the vintage
of 1864, described as a "Swveet Union Port,''
but suggesting the ImperIal T1okay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wvine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both p)hysicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible In any con
siderable quantity, T'he whole stock is in the
bands of the wel l-knowvn wholesale .grocery
house of the Trhurbers~N, I, Trioune,
Nov. 19, thy
The above speaks for Itself, but we would
add that this Is the pure junice of the grape,
neither drugged, //gvuored nor watercd; that it
has been ripened and mellowed by age, and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes it Is
urnsurppsscd. It can be obtained from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from the
undersigned, who will forward dlescrlptivo
