SOME REPUBLICAN OUTRAGES.
The Chicago Post says “we wish demo
catic journals, instead of all the while deal
ing in gloomy generalities in respect to the
outrages the republican party has commit
ted, would set forth the facts so that every
body might understand them. According
to the gloomy generalities referred to, there
never was such a wicked party as the re
publican; but inasmuch as this wicked
ness is all of a general, ill defined nature,
we propose to go into the details ot the
subject, and specify some of the outrages
which make the republican party worthy
the condemnation of the public. No one
who would not dispute against the sun will
deny that for the following vicious, wick
ed, and wrongful measures and deeds, the
republican party is responsible before the
bar of the people :
1. The homestead law.
2. The emancipation of four million
slaves.
3. The suppression of a wicked rebel
lion, in which was included not only vast
military operations, but the maturing and
successful operation of a financial system
which preserved the national credit from
ruin, and greatly aided public prosperity.
4. The construction of a railway to the
Pacific ocean.
5. The reconstruction of the southern
States on the principles of justice and free
dom.
6. The reform of the system of conduct
ing the public offices, whereby immense
sums of money are annually saved to the
people.
7. The destruction of Indian and other
“rings,” whose plunderings of the public
funds have been vast and constant.
8. The inauguration of an Indian policy
at once just, humane and successful; a
policy which seems destined to solve, in
the interests of civilization, a problem that
has perplexed and eluded our statesman
ship from the foundation of the govern
ment.
9. The reform of the revenue system,
whereby taxation is largely reduced, and
the way paved for further reductions, to
the invaluable benefit of the trade and
commerce of the country.
10. The salvation of the people from
“wild-cats” and their accompanying peri
odical financial crashes.
11. The maintenance of the national
credit and financial honor.
12. The establishment of complete po
litical and civil equality by constitutional
provision, whereby freedom and justice are
secured forever.
Such arc some of the more notable
measures and deeds of the republican
party, If they be fully reflected upon,
and their practical results considered, it
will be seen that they have done more for
our people, and are more beneficent in
their effects, than any measures and deeds
of any political party that ever existed in
any country. These are the “outrages”
of the republican party. They are just
such outrages as the people like and will
have.
The democrats by the aid of the “revenue
reformers” have succeeded in carrying
several members of Congress in Pennsyl
vania. If the new allies ot the democracy
find any honor in their position they are
welcome to it. The gain which the demo
crats have made will be no disadvantage
in point of numbers to the next Congress,
and will doubtless operate to discourage
mongrelism and place it at a discount in
future. The republican party will move
on as strong as ever, but individuals who
played fast and loose with the organiza
tion will be sent to the place where they
belong.
The reports of the successes of the French
in recent operations will hardly gain cred
ence. They curry upon their face that
which prevents confidence in them, even
though they were not, as they have been,
contradicted. The general tenor of the
despatches received leads to the conclusion
that the Prussians are steadily pushing for
ward their plans, and have met with no
reverses of any importance. Not the least
of the difficulties under which the French
labor is the want of an established govern
ment having the confidence of the people.
POLITICAL.
There is no doubt that Secretary Cox lias
tendered his resignation but there is a strong
effort to have him withdraw and retain his
place.
A prominent republican in St. Louis writes
as follows in relation to the prospect in that
State : “All looks well for McClurg's election.
Brown cannot get more than 5000 majority in
St. Louis. The State will bury all that in one
district.”
The official canvass of the vote for delegates
to Congress in Colorado gives Jerome It.
Chaffer, republican 1,392 majority.
The President has accepted the resignation
of Secretary Cox.
The democrats claim to have gained in
Pennsylvania five members of Congress with
two districts still in doubt awaiting official re
turns from Harrisburg. The republican ma
jority on a joint ballot in the legislature will
be about seven. The democratic gains have
been in the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and
24th districts. The 13th and 10th are the dis
trict* in doubt.
The chairman of an Iowa vigilance commit
tee, who was instructed to duck an obnoxious
citizen, thus reported to his constituents:
"Ve took the thief down to the river, made a
hole in the ice, and proceeded to duck him;
but he slipped through our hands and hid un
der the ice. All our efforts to entice him to
come out failed, and he has now retained his
advantage some hours.”
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
A new work for the schools of the l nited
States, published by D. Appleton & Co., is
the “Elements of Astronomy,” by J. Norman
Lockyer. It seems to be specially adapted to
its purpose, both in arrangement and phrase
ology, giving so far as it goes clear views well
expressed and bringing an abstruse subject
within the popular grasp and comprehension.
It has maps and illustrations, among which
are a colored representation of the solar, stel
lar and nebular spectra, and celestial charts
of the northern and southern hemispheres.
It has the most recent astronomical discoeries
and deals fully with spectrum analysis and its
results, while distances, masses &e. are based
upon the recent determination of the solar
parallax. J. F. Fierce has it for sale.
Harper & Brothers issue a new mental
Arithmetic, of which the author is John II.
French, EL.D. He argues that while Mental
Arithmetic is good it has been carried to an
extreme, and lie presents a better plan as he
thinks of teaching it, making it more con
cise and clearer work as well as more valuable
to the pupil. For sale by Clapp & North.
A new School History of the United States
is published by the Harpers, the author ot
which is David B. Scott. It has many en
gravings and maps, and has at the end of the
various periods short sketches or generaliza
tions of the habits, industries, character ot
the people, growth of the country, and the
causes ns well as effects of the more prominent
events in its history. There are also some
changes in the arrangement which are consid
ered improvements. F'or sale by Clapp &
North.
Harper & Brothers have introduced in their
scries of Wilson's Headers, a new number to
take the place of the Regular Fourth or In
termediate F'ourth. It has been prepared
with special reference to Rhetorical and Elo
cutionary Instruction,through the reading les
sons which it embraces. In this book the
idea in the original series to convey as much
useful general information in the lessons as
possible is made subordinate to growth in
good elocution. Clapp & North have it for
sale.
A complete index of Harper’s New Mohthly
Magazine, running from the first to the forti
eth volume, is issued by the publishers of that
periodical. Those who have the full set of
magazines, or any considerable part of it,
will find this index a very useful article, but
to others, of which we are one, it is of no
particular Consequence, since we have not the
thing to which it pointeth. Clapp & North
have it.
In a neat volume entitled “The Choice of
Paris,” Mr. S. G. W. Benjamin, author of
“The Turk and the Greek,” reduces the story
of the Iliad to plain matter of fact reading,tel
ling in every-day manner of Paris and
Helen, the seige of Troy, death of Hector,
&c. &c. The change in style makes quite a
difference in the effect of the narative, but
the story is the same with the gods and god
desses and Homeric exaggerations andembel
ishments laid aside. The publisher is Hurd
& Houghton. Clapp & North have it for sale.
Harper & Brothers publish in cheap paper
covers the following: “Tom Brown at Ox
ford,” written by the author of “Tom Brown's
School days,” which is read by all who can
get it; “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” the
last of Charles Dickens’ works, and upon
which he was engaged at his death ; A “Dan
gerous Guest,” “The Heir Expectant,” and
“Estelle Bussell, all of which will be found
interesting and well calculated to pass away
the vacant hours. Clapp & North have them.
Harper’s Magazine for November opens
with an article upon “The Huguenots,” and
continues the list of contents with an agreea
ble array of articles, some instructive, like
“The Negative in Photography," and some of
a lighter east. The history of Frederick the
Great” sinks in comparison with the achieve
ments of William, but it is interesting to know
of what stock modern Prussia has come.
Pierce has it for sale.
The Galaxy for November is received. »Its
contents are : I.ady Judith; A Tale of Two
Continents; A Brazilian Poem; Beminis
cences and Speculations; Dead and Born;

tion and its curious collection of riddles,

WAR SPLINTERS.
The cattle in and around Metz are dying by
hundreds from the rinderpest. The bodies
cannot be buried quick enough to prevent
epidemics. Notwithstanding that hard frosts
have occurred these diseases are spreading
rapidly.
The government has decreed that all for
eign arms reaching France may be seized by

ing chase, came up with her nnd sent officers
on board to examine her papers. These, it
