Anion;; the execu tive committee of this "ono hundred," tho names of several Republican are seen and among others that of the noto rious Jim N'kwoouii. In speaking of their actions tho San Antonio Times says: "For supreme arrogance and tin adulteratod brass, this independent business in Sun Antonio goes beyond all competition. Still, it is onlv R' imb- liennism iu disguise, and w hat else have tho Republicans but brass to fall bach on?" It is to be hoped no true patriotic j Democrat will befound amalgamating j with them.

It senilis the mora a ivuin knows about political economy, tliiar.fio and kindred ntbjcct-;, the loss skill ho possesses as a linau eior and in the management of a mer cantile business. It was a fact that Mis.

Fu a vie Rainkv, s'ljiorlntendent of the Blind asylum, ask:.. In his report of that institution lor ISs-t, 'he legisla ture to appropriate $17,000 for improve ments. Tho needed improvements he spoeillos are additions for sleoping rooms, to inoroaso tho' capacity of the dining-room, of tlio work shop and school-room, and room for sorvunts, to rebuild and repair galleries, to n plaster rooms, repaint ail wood work and put gas pipes in tho building. These im provements aro noodod,vo aro sure, else they would not bo nsked for, and wo trust tho governor will recommend tlio appropriation.

For gambling, vari ety theaters an J rowdyism that city can rival all creation. Tiik poison epiuoinio in southwest Virginia and eastern Kentucky is simply appalling. Hopes aro enter tained that frost and cold weather may allay tho fearful ravages of the malady. Some 2,000 victinin aro supposed to have succumbed to tho malarious, or mill orally poisonous iiilluenco. In general appearanco tho disease resembles Asl atiu cholera, but there appears to bo 110 eaiiHO for Its oxistetmo in tho locality where ll has raged, and hopes aro now vntertained that It will subside. ENGLAND EXTENDING HER FRAN CHISE. The Knglish nation is by no means rtiiti-progressivn. Tho frauehiso has been extended so far as to inoroaso tlio voting population by somo million and a half votos. Itv giving uioro voles to the country distr.cts it is possible the Tory party expect to inereaso their strength, as the landlords lu tho main control tho peasantry. Hut they will be disappointed.

In creating her new-boroughs It would be extremely foi tuiiato if nhe could destroy somo of the rotten ones which, silll exist. THE FUNERAL OF SFCTIONALISM. In Toxas, at least, thcro has been sounded s blast on tho prophetic Ingle which has a slgtilllcanco appreciated by all old south Texlans. It Is contained In thispiocoof iiitelligeiice: "WnNhing'on county, this state, luirotofoio Kepuhli cau, went almost colldly Domnerailo at tho lust olnotlon." Tho Interpretation of this is that the grea, rich county of Washington, where lies the uioat pro duetive acreage of the same sir.a In Texas, and whuro splendl i ii , ,i farms bave been selling ;. i ,. ; , ,,, haH "east lis suehor , . .. lu the direction of ho ,,,. , .. ; ., , the people there l . va ... , : i ' ,, lliogelivous.

Tho scramble for olllce is by no nieaiiH sec tional, and the row over the New York eollootorship has been a constant bone of contention among the Republicans, resulting finally in tho disruption of tho party in that state. There is too much olllce tieckiug all over the land, and it is hoped that a now era will bo inaugu rated by tho incoming ad ministration which will initiaate the evil, it is not to bo supposed, however, that great changes aro not to bo mail, and the ltKHAin ventures tho prediction that tho Times will not bestow in its friendly suggestions as to tho disposition of gov- oruniontal patronage.
