TAMDIANY's response to the invita
lion to join with other Democrats in an
attempt to mriako theparty respected as
well as respectable in NOw York city
is long, cool and windy. It denies the
right of any btly of mon to ask any
thing whatever of Tammany, declare-s
Tammany to be all that remains of
Democracy, wisdom and virtue In that
part of the world and charges all the
past sins of the party to (lhe bad, bad
men who have not (one as Tammany
told them to do.
Tn United States Senate has passed
a bill appropriating a hundred and
sevonty-five thousand dollars for the
purpose of fitting a Shi) to go in
search of the exploring ship Jeannette,
sent out by James Gordon Bennett to
the Arctic Regions in 1879, and which
has not been heard from lin months.
The House will probably pass the
bill, and a proper vessel will be found
at San Francisco. There Is barely
sufficient time to get the relief ship
ready for sea, and the loss of a month
may mean the loss of an entire season.
The expedition is more in the -Interest
of' humanity than of science. The
Joannette Is not the only vessel the
secret of whose fate is *locked In the
hiozen northiern seas, and( it will be
thle duty of the commander of thle re
lief ship to search for the missing
whalers as well as for the American
exploring shilp.
IN these days of monument-building,
Edgar Allen Poe is not forgottei.
Maryland, the State which gave him
birth, was the first to erect a shaft to
his memory, and now a iovenient is
being made in Now York city to raise
funds for constructing a Poe monu
ment in Central Park, which shall be
regarded in the light of a National
recoglition of his genius. None of
our American poets achieved so great
a fIine as Poe Iin the period of his brief
life. There was an originality and
beauty about his style which won the
admiration of his readers and fixed his
name enduringly in their minds. The
father and111 mother of Poe beloniged to

WASIIN(V1oN. Februiary 5.--Inm the
Sonate, o Thursday, the -Iepublicanls
resorted to a favorito -.'evico to mortIfy
the Dmnocrats. They exposed tle
fact that there was no eocratic
quormn, although a caucus hti been
held to rush througIiSeiiator Morgan's
concurrent resolution as to tle power
of the Vice-President to count the
electoral vote. Subsequent legislation
demonstrated that there was an almost
absolute agreement upon both sides,
but it was a shrewd trick of the mi
nority to expose to the country - the
weakuicss and want of discipline of
the majority. The Democratie Sena
tors, paired or absent, were Williams,
Ranson), Wallace, Bailey, Birown,
Grover, Maxey, Randolph and Voor,
hees. Of these, Brown was in Atlm
ta, attending to his railroad rneeting,
Maxev In Texas, surveying his mended
fences, Wallace paired with Don Cain
eroni, who is engaged in electing a
Republican Senator, and the others
"scattering." The specles of Conk
ling, Edimunds and Thurman upon the
Morgan resolutions were in their ordi
nary vemii and not imuch to brag about
-t pompous waste of words upon
what Senator Butler pithily calls the
failure of the Constitution to establish
or provide for a returiing board. The
isolated vote of Senator rh*to, of
Mariyland. is explained in his desire to
be consistent with his past record.
when the gallant stand lie made for
the electoral vote of Georgia, with
eight other Democrats -all there were
in the Senate-was highly appreciated
in the South at that time. Here is all
other straw to show the drift of the
Wind.
Tihe battle over Captain Page and
his widow's claim for $130 was par
tially resumed yesterday, when Mr.
Goode withdrew the bill. Mr. Con
ger managed to inject one of his favor
ite speeches, much to the discomfiture
of' Mr. Goode. Distasteful as the
truth is, let our people learn it wisely
and bear it becomingly. They have
been robbed and plundered, it may be,
by various pretexts of war and un
friendly legislaticn, but their chances
o' getting a dollar from the treasurv
upon any' claim thit hints of the Wiar,
are of the dimmest description. The
fear of bouthern war claims is what,
more than anything else. ites the
Republican party ill a co0IIImOI1 cause,
and keeps the D emocrats at a disad
vantage. The Republicans. are not
naturally harmoinious. Tihey would

Keppler's cartoon in Puck repre
senting Jay Gould swinging by tle
strangled neoks of Commerce an'd the
Press has been widely distributed
aimong Congressmen. It has created
a sensation, but that iN all. One of
the "results of the war" Is that we
shall have a Master. It Is a daniger
ous and uipleasant, catastrophe, but
our Northern friends would have it so.
What matters it, whether Gould or
Grant? For my part I have no fear
of' Gould, and the South need not fear
him, unless Indeed she should engage
in speculating agaltist him commer
elily. It Is the eternal Jaw that men
who war on Imunity shall perish, in
God's good time. It'Is said that Gould
Is to-day more powerfuil than. Alexan
der the Great or Napoleon. I doubt
that; but the Greek conqueror's em
pire fell to pieces at his death, and the
French Emperor gnawed his heart
away on a barren isle of the ocean.
Old John Quincy Adams used to say
that n1egrro slavery in the United States
would Perish "in God's good time."
So It did. The slavery to Jay Gould,
if it exist at all, will not long endure.

CArTUE OF A CONVXCr.
Columbia Itegimter, February 9.
An esc.iped convict named Sam
Davis, colored, was arrested night be.
fore last at Killian's station, on the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Iailroad, and brought to Columbia
yesterday morning.
Davis was one of five convicts who
escaped ten days ago from the Ashe
ville and French Broad Railroad. Ie
had been convicted of grand larcency
.. the Fall term, 1880, of the Court for
Richland county and sentenced to two!
years in the penitemiary.
It was supposed, from information,
that the escaped convicts were in the
neighborhood of White Oak, Fairfield
counLty, and Captain Sligh accordingly
went to that point. There he ascer
tained that Davis had gone to Winus
boro. Captain Sligh then went to
Winnmishoro by private convevance, and
found that D.avis had golie further
south, as was supposed. to Columbia.
Captain Sligh took the 5 p. in. train to
Columbia, this being last Monday
afternoon, the 7th instant. When tile
trait got about three miles this side
of Doko, Captain Sligh noticed a ne
gro man in the cars who looked like
Samn Davis, with a bandage tied over
his head aid having only his left eve
exposed. The negro also appeared to
be watching Caplain Sligh very close
ly. After awhile the conduet'or caie
ut and asked the itegro for his fare,
and in doing so stood for a moment
between him and Captain Sligh, when
the negro jumlped n n1 d rani to I Ie
car dloornd ( jlumplied out. Captain
Sligh beiing by this time convymeed
ttct hi ws i m t raniaer him
but1 gilt to hedoJutuim to see
thei fellowv jump oilf tile plattormn. Theli
trailn was going at the rate of thirty or
thirty-five miles an hour and tihe nieg ro
jumiped and1( tell down t heemnbankment
iito a dlitch below. The train was
stopped as soon1 as5 p)ossile, but on
gom ig to tihe spot tihe man could not

Mr. L. Shoenfeld-Dear Hir-I fake pleasure in
stating that I have used your Medicated 8took
Feed both on horses and cattle, and with great
success, especially on a very poor cow, which
I bought at auction. She gives now over two
gallons of milk, with a good pro t of in

tertained for other powders that bad tried,
and which proved wortnless, I do not hesitate
to endorse your invention as being all you
claie for it. P. T.8HENAN.
