One gentleman goes so far as to remark that the cotton lands will now be worth from $4 to $5 more per acre than formerly. -TIHE fastest time ever made in this country by a train of three pas senger care was made on Saturday afternoon last, when a party of jour nalists from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places were whirled to Cape May over the West Jersey railroad. The trip of eighty-one and a half miles was accomplished in eighty-three and a half minutes. The run to Millvillo of forty-one miles was made in forty-two minutes. Many of the miles, especially after Millville had been passed, were cov ered in less than fifty seconds. -TH first Republican state con vention of importance held since the development of any policy on the part of President Arthur, that of Oregon, was in session on Thursday last. After nominating a full state ticket, it denounced the anti-Chinese veto, condemning it au bqing in vio lation of the platform of the last National Convention. This proceed ing will not probably annoy the Pres ident in the slightest degree. He does not pretend to be influenced at all by the feeling on the Pacific coast, taking his cue from other sections and looking to other interests. Ore gon will very likely be offset by Pennsyivanslia, which in her Repub lican convention soon to assemble, will indorse the administration poi icy, anti-Chiinse included. OFFICE, EDlIon DKEOc:Ar - With a certain class the above word is the mo At signafitantL na I p. tent of any in the language. In this sc country it has assumed a phase of vt idolatty, an object of reverence and bl adoration. Oflice is the God whom In a great number worship; it is the st "burden of their song, the iiad of w their woes." When we contemplate « our early history as a government it and see what a change has been b; wrought in the manner of obtaining ai official position, and the purposes el for which the position is used after le its attainment, it creates in our ff minds feelings of regret that human h nature can become so corrupt an'd v that pure selfkihness can become the h dominating principle of action. It is truly cad to think and feel that G dark corruption and treachery are a now the chief dependence to obtain hl official preferment and place. It does w not take a very wise head to com. s prebend that office will be the rock 0 upon which our ship of State will W some day be wrecked, and the only el way to avoid it is to keep honest and good men at the helm. This condi- h tion of public affairs is based in a n vitiated political sentiment and par n tisan zeal. g The stability, permanence and be neficence of government depend upon u the individual integrity and purity * of the parties to it. No government ' can long continue when its guar dians and administrators act through L personal motives, and every effort is a shaped to retain official power. His tory plainly evinces that God iq His t wisdom h'as so ordered that a strict observance of justice is absolutely essential to the perpetuation of po. litical institutions of every charac ter. Only reflect for a moment how the fair ,pages of our national history I have been darkened by this unholy, t unmanly and unscrupulous strife for official advancement. What honest and magnanimous American doubts for a moment that General Hays was made President through fraud and collusion? Just think to what lengths this gilded temple of ambi tion will lead men. It is indeed hu miliating for American contempla tion. Talk about the stability and strength of our government because it survived the inauguration of a fraudulent executive and then cite such a consummation as a proof of its power. Away with such nonsense! To my mind it is a strong proof of our national degradation and an open confession that we are pokerless against Federal duplicity and politi cal pollution, and it is in direct con travention of the dictates of man hood-an impudent penace to the principles and teachings of honor and justice. And by the way, did you ever notice the law passed by Congress creating the Commission to decide who should be the Presi dent? Such was the indecent haste for fear something might transpire to prevent it, that the law was ren dered a nullity upon its face, for it is an old doctrine that jf a law cannot be administered or practically ap plied it is a nullity. The law provi ded that when the question was de cided by the Commission that if ei ther party felt himself aggrieved he might apply by guo warranto to the Supreme Court of the United States for redress. It seems to me that a tyro or cross-l oad lawyer could have made a more sensible law than this. lHow could the Supreme Court be applied to when a majority of its members were on the Commission? Seven to eight, and every time de cisions were made from party con sideratiens, and to our everlasting Sshame impartial history will so de clare. The creation of this law was an insult to the intelligence and Ic gal ability of the nation, but as it is said charity is best in all things it may be that those who made did not know any better. The Constitution provides a plain and practical mode of declaring who shall be President when the matter gets into Congress, and if the party who then had con Strol of the House of Representatives had have persistently contended for 3its rights, it would have succeeded. Disaster always follows the conces rsion of a plair-principle of right. The office-holders of the United States, I mein those who hold under the government, form a distinct e class, whose most strenuous efforts e are exerted tokeep in office at what ever cost and the sacrifice of any Sprinciple. They have no more sym. e pathy with the people and their in. terests than the arrogant nohilities of England. These people will have to be taught better, or the people may make up their ujinds to submit to the inevitable and gradual growth of an exclusive aristocracy, which will demand its maintainance from their labor. This is, without doubt, the tendency of things. Contemplate Washington City and what has trans Spired there within the last ten years, and I think that I will be justified in the remarks I have made.

We found him first on the wl bloodstained field of Antietam-al- hi most at the close of his career, in- su stead of at the l eginning. The Ei world knows how he fought here. ed We found him at Kernstown fight- tri ing one to four-fighting, falling fal back, gritmly giving way to figlht in again. We saw him strike the Fid- ag oral armies right aid left in the val- th ley and fill Washington with white ta faces: We found him at Fredericks no burg on Lee's right; at Chancellors wE ville in Hiooker's rear; at Manassas am behind Pope, on his flenk, in his of front. We have found him at tl Gaines' Mill. Fate waited for him pr at Gaines' Mill. Fate waited for cl him before striking a last blow, It was the hammer in his grasp which A' shatted the Federal position. With o out him the Longstreet and Hill S. would.have been pressed back, rout. ed, annihilated, A Christian in faith-a child in A his sympathies-a general who cared ' not for the world's admiration so much as for the comfort of any sin- - gle man who followed him in his wonderful marches. He had the courage of a lion and the heart of a woman. The pomp add glitter of war were not for him. His banners grew old and faded and shot torn. His legions grew ragged and footsore and weary. No matter who hesita ted-Jackson advanced. Fierce in the heat of battle, because it was his t duty to kill, when the roar of the cannon died away the groans of th wounded reached a heart which had a throb for every groan. Partisans may keep their hitter ness of heart, but the world has spoken. The man whom they hate r died forgiving all. Struck down at ,t Chancellorsville, amid the roar of 9 battle, he was removed to die a old e the softest peace. Strong men wept d like children when they saw that ,t his last hour had come; but if-they had a feeling of revenge down under their jsorrow, he had none. With i. malice toward none-with forgive d ness for all, his life went out as his e pale lips whispered: a"Let us cross over and rest under the green trees." if --TuB atrocities the Russian ad. herents of the Greek church are now 'o committing upon the Jews are only ir equalled by some of the ancient an dents of Jewish history accorded ini is their sacred books. .And thus the i darkest pages of history are repeat a- ing themselves with shocking fidel s- ity. One ot the latest acts of the ie Russian Jewish persecution was the )r attack upon a family of nine by d drunken soldiers at midnight. The ,y father and mother and younger chil n dren were in bed asleep. An eigh i- teen-year-old girl was up tending te shop. The soldiers killed the fatl;er re and some boys, and piled the corpses i- i~ a heap. The mother tried to bide is some of her smaller children in box >t es and trunks, but the soldiers found p- them" and kicked their brains out. i. Then the mother ran, but was shot e- down and left for dead. She crawl. i- led to the door of a holy man and te asked for shelter and protection, to te which he replied "only a Jewess," 3s and closed his door. In the morn a ing the woman was dead. The girl e alone escaped. As the price of her life the soldiers demanded, her fath Ser's savings of forty roublet and half ea dozen silver spoons. Securing the to treasure they outraged the girl, and, , leaving, told her they were coming e- around to look for her again.--[Ex. change. Ig -TaHs is the question asked by e- the Boston Commercial Bulletin, and is which it attempted to answer as fol a- lows: Last year's crop of cotton was is 6,600,000 bales, and it is now quite It well settled that the production for t the current year ending August 831, i 1882, will foot up less than 6,600,000 le bales. Last year's crop was greater it than the world's requirements and s, yielded a surplus. which has been 3- carried forward into the present year 35 to such an extent that the visible r supply of cotton ino the 1rld to day 3. is but 75,000 bales smaller than it a was April 22, 1881, and is 410,000 t. bales larger than it was April 22. td 1880. But from this time forward ar thero will be a constant decrease in at the supply until the new corop year ts commences in September, and if t- speculators were able to secure such ty successful control of the market in a- August, 1881, what may they not ac n-lcomplish in August, 1882, with sev es eral hundred thousand bales less cot re ton to be taken care? As already le intimated, however, it is the unex It pected that most frequently happens th to the multitude of mercantile opera chi tors; and perhaps the very fact that m an August corner is so generally ex )t, pected will do much to prevent its te occurrence. rs, -WATCoIEs, Clocks and Jewelry n repaired by first-dlass and finished in workmen at T.

They im agine if a man is ahle to get "the best of a bargain," no matter by what deceit and meauness he carries his point that his prosperity is as sured. This is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity can't be found ed on cunning and dislonesty: The tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the influences which: are forever working against him. His home is built upon the sand, and its foundation will cer taiBly give way. Young people can not give these truths too much weight. The future of that young man is safe who eschews every shape of double dealing, and lays the foun dation of his career in the enduring principles of everlasting truth.-Ex change.
