TriE political milliniutn in the
Democratic parly of Pennsylvania
• W38 reached in Philadelphia last .Sat
urday evening when ex-Senator Wm.
A. Wallace and ex-Speaker Sam
uel J. Randall, who have hereto
foreseen leadersoOpposing tactions,
spoke from the same platform. Mr.
Randall humorously remarked that
when the distinguished ex.Senator
and himself came together in hearty
accord thorough Democratic unity
could he regarded nr. accomplished.
The results of diligont inquiry by
the Tribune reporter indicate a fa
vorable condition of business iu that
city. The hotels have been ciowded
this fall with buyers from all parts
of the country as they baveuot often
been in years past. Among manufac
turers and wholesale dealers the as_
Giirance :a given that trade has sel
dom cr never been more vigorous.
Sales are 10 or 25 per cent, heavier
than tht.y were last autumn. The
demand comes from all parts ol the
Union, is not speculative, and very
nearly equals the supply.
The New York Tribune remarks
that "the time appears to be ripe for
President Arthur, Mr. Conklinq,
DonOAVERONand ex-Sonator Platt
to hold a conference somewhere on the
condition of the Administration par
ty. There is imperativeeneed of he
roic measures cf some kind. In what
Mr. B. Platt Carpenter would call
the "immemorial" words ol the Hon.
Tom Platt, the people need "inoc_
ulating’* with something or other.
Perhaps a little common sense on the
part of the machine leaders would
do as much good as anything.’*
The stump Las probably seen its
best days as an important factor in
a po litical campaign, and its place is
being rapidly taken by the printing
press. The present campaign in Ohio
has shown this strikingly. Hays the
Cincinnati Commercial: "The cam
paign has been a reading one, the
people caring more for documents
than /or djBplaye of oratory. There
has been a gieat demand for reading
matter, and tons of it have been sent
out in one form or another. Both
committees have bad a large force o?
clerks employed in folding and send,
ing out tbe truth, as seen from the
etaodpoir.it of each."
The result of the Congressional
contest in this State last Tuesday
may be summarized ns follows; In
the First District the Rebublicans
have succeeded in electing Goff over
Good by a majority of something like
twelve hundred. In the Second
District, through the treachery and
treason of the so-called Democrats,
Wilboh has beaten Mason only "by
theskinofhie teeth”—by a majority
of about fiva hundred In the Third
District the Democrats have re-elect
ed KeNNA by a bandeoue majority,
and in the Fourth District Gif.'on,
tbe Democratic candidate, ba« beat
en his opponent by about two thous
and majority. Thus the delegation
of Representatives in toe 48th Con
gress will stand three Democrats and
one Republican.

The remains ol an immense mas
todon have just been discovered near
Paris, Kentucky, by a party of work
men engaged in grading the exten
sion of the Kentucky Central rail
road. The part of the skeleton first
discovered was an ancle, which, on
being measured, phowed a diameter
of seven inches. Following up this
bone they discovered the knee,which
through lhe socket was twelve in
ches. From the ankle to the top of
the shoulder blade—it being three
feet two inches wjde.-was fourteen
teet seven inches. The head was of
large proportions, measuring five
feet in length and several in width,
fne jaw was twelve inches thick.
The backbone whs then followed up,
and forty feet from the head were
the hones ot the tail. The hind quar
ters were exceedingly large, meas.
uring twenty-three feet eight inches
in height. The hip-bone was ten
and a quarter inches thick. The
teeth, on being weighed, proved each
to be from two to three pounds. It
is to be regretted that the remains j
of this astounding curiosity could i
not be taken out entire.
One of the inoat characteristic in

race, color, or previous condition of

respondent, rising to the real dignity
of the occasion, thus describes the
scene : ‘ They were not to be de.

Mr. Bacon says :

release from all obligations, express

forbidden and abhorrent,' exist in
that, case, and call for condemnanion
from all men who profess honesty.
Besides, i think it is high time to
administer a rebuke to the adminis

some emphasis that the citizens of a

The result o( lagl Tuesday’s elec,
lion in Ohio is a glorious Democratic
victory. Lesi Jes electing their State
ticket,the Democrats have carried
fifteen of the twenty.one Congres
sional D'stricts by sweeping major
ities.
Speaking of the result, the Cincin
nati Enqu'rer well says that “coup,
hngtbe voice of Ohio with the prob
able Democratic victory in New York
and Pennsylvania, the eyes of the
people lord< to Democratic control of
the Government at Washington. The
Democratic patty of the United
States was swindled of the Presi
dency to Which it elected Ttiden in !
1870, and the Presidential election
of 1880 showed such a close popular
balance ti;aL we may well look to
Democratic control alter 1S81. Too
tide has been turning for six years,
and the Democratic Jl yd appears to
be upon us.
Not the least important feature of i
the coutest in Ohio was the fight for
she representation in Congress. The
Lepubliean Legislature redrietricted
the State under the decennial ap
portionment with a view to keeping
the Di'tuccracy in a meagre in; nont y
The gerrymander has been hand
somely rebuked.
Altogether, the victory for the
DemooraGo party in Ohio is decided
and conspicuous, and justifies an old
fashioned Democratic hurrah.”
To which the Wheeling Jlegisttrl
adds that “the verdict of Ohio thus
becomes unusually important. It
nrt only renders Democratic victory
| iu two other States doubly euro, but
,it gives Congress to the Democrats
| beyond « perad venture.
While, therefore, we ruav meurn
ihe slip in the First district of tips
State, the general outlook for the
Democratic party is especially bright
and encourag ng.”
Thk United States mint at Phila
delphia has just received over two
tons ot three.cent silver pieces,which
by act of Congreas have been abol
ished from the national coinage.
I hisie, howf-Vf r.only about one.fifth

three.cent pieces now in the m nt
would fill three large wagons. They
are to be recoined into ten-cent
pieces, as the three.cent nickel
pieces are to take the place of the

Treasury Dedart ment is redeeming
the small coma as fast as pcssidle.and
in a (pw ypar i Ihpy w.II entirely dis.
appear, and only the nickels will be

a very consldeiable per c»nt. oftheir
intrinsic value by usage, in some
cases amounting to as much as 26

1 HE assert ion of German officers
in Egypt that the Brit jsh troops mur
dered the Egyptian wounded in the
trenches at TeLel.Kebir long alter
resistance had ceased uceuis beyond
belief, but it. is partly confirmed by j
the testimony of British officers
whoB-y that their orders wero to
give no quarter.,. The excuse alleged
lor this hideous brutality is that tbe
soldiers ran the risk of being shot
treacherous^ as they went by ths
wounded. This excus i is a* inlamous
as tbe act; and should it really prove
true that there was a general
slaugh sr of the surrendered on the
field, no amount ot alleged
gallantry can alone for this atrocity
K\en the N»Z Perce Indians whom
civilization call* savages spared the
wounded soldier* of our army who fell
into their possession, though they
were fighting for escape from captivi
ty. 'Such a practice as the one charg
ed upon the English would soon turn
a body of brave soldieis into a gang
of assa-uns. It ha* often been charged
that tue Butins troops in Zululaud
bayoneted their dying opponents,
who were, after all, fighting lor ihe.r
country; and perhaps this laet rnay
