The recent coup d'etat of capturing the Pennsylvania Republican Stats con vention by the "third termers," has re vived the Grant "boom." Don Came" ron,knows his henchmen and they obey ed his command. The New York Her ald regards it as a great triumph of machine politics. It says Mr. Cameron "has succeeded in controlling the con vention, succeeding in causing the dele gates to be instructed to vote as a unit and to give. their united vote for the ex-rresident. This is what he aimed at, and what he has accomplished by his aim. He would have preferred to accomplish, it without opposition, but it is something to have accomplished it in spite of opposition. The fact that so large a minority of Blaine men made a resolute opposition is an important po litical fact ; but it does not change the more important fact that fcbe fifty eight Pennsylvania delegates to the Chicago convention are absolutely com mitted to the third term candidate by instructions which they will, not diso bey. It is a "fixed fact" that the con test for the Repubic.in nomination opens with the certainty of a solid dele gation from Pennsylvania committed to the ex-President. The contest, the struggle, the strength of the opposition, the divided sentiment of the Pennsylvania Republicans, will naturally make an impression on the Republican party at large ; but the par ty at large is but little regarded in the calculations.of the astute managers of the third term campaign. They have a definite plan of operations which, they expect to carry out without much as sistance from the Republicans of those States which must elect their candidate after he is nominated. Only the three most populous Northern States are com prised in their immediate programme Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois. They think that if they can control these they will have little difficulty in controlling the national convention. The New York convention, which is to be held on the 25th, is the next great point of political interest. If the divis ion and debate at Harrissburg do not prevent an instructed third term dele gation from New York the managers care little for the effect in other States. There is no reason for supposing that the New York Republicans will waver in their foregone determination to sup port the ex-president. It is not doubted that Senator Conkling desires his nomi nation, much lesss that the Utica con vention will be obedient to his wishes. A third term delegation from New York, added to that from Pennsylvania, will make om? hundred and twenty eight votes pledged to the ex-President. When New York has reinforced Penn sylvinia the third term managers enter tain no doubt that Illinois, the ex-Presidents own State, where hardly any op position to him has been developed, will join their forces and increase the num ber of their delegates to one hundred and fifty, which is nearly one-half of the number requisite to form a majority of the convention. Having secured this compact body.of unflinching dele gates they.will look around for addi tions. But the success of their plan and their subsequent operations de pends on th3ir ability to manoeuvre the three largest States as a solid phalanx. When assured of these they will try to make inroads on the strength of rival candidates in other States. They will attempt nothing in New England, which is for Bline ; nor in the Northwestern States, except Illinois, which are for Blaine: nor in Ohio which is for Sherman. They have strong hopes in Pacific States, and the eighteen delegates from California and Oregon would swell their number to one hundred and sixty-eight, still leav ing them one hundred and thirty-seven short of a majority. They expect to make up the number from the Southern States, where Blaine has no strength f and the only rival of the ex-President is Secretary Sherman. The South is entitled to two hundred and seventy-six delegates in the nation al convention, and with the three great States and the two Pacific States the inira term candidate would need one less than half of the Southern delegates to give him a majority. Nine-tenths of the Republican party in the South con sists of colored voters, and it has never . been disputed that the colored voters have a strong and enthusiastic preference for the candidate whom they regard as their deliverer. Secretary Sherman, with the treasury patronage in his hands, has chances for getting some of the Southern delegates ; but can he get more than half of them? If the ex- President, on his return from Mexico, should make a meandering journey through the South he would fill the ne gro heart with thoughts of him. He is the one man whom they know and trust. The artful and resolute man agers who are bent on his nomi nation will not be inactive in the South. They have money and know how to place it 'where it will do most Rood.' They are adepts in all the tricks and artifices of politics, and every re source of their strategy will be taxed to eive the colored voters a chance to ex press their undoubted preference and to be represented Dy delegates wno wn jrive effect to their sentiments. Secre tarv Sherman must be very dexterous if he captures, more than one-half of th Southern , delegates in spite of the well kBOwnwishes oi me negro voters. This, then, is the settled plan of the MrH.torm DOliticians to aaa jew vv and Illinois to Pennsylvania, tartfi: delegations, and, hav madesurte tf-tnese, to place their relnf orcements on LVsouthern States':' Should thispUn Buccal "rTvn'.r . i ... i national hollow and aeoemuriareowu .v-- politics have become, un 5? nomination wUl Py states which can give, no, electoral and reason tne nominations should be made by the States which are relied on to elect, the ticket. The admission of delegates from "States -which are cer tain to be carried . by ithe opposition should be regarded merely as a compli ment of doubtful utility, j It is absurd to allow them to contrfl the conven tion and overrule the choice of the as sured Republican States, whose votes are the mainstay of the party. The farce becomes huge in its grotesque ab surdity when one-or two large States. by riding roughshod over a large body of active dissenters, assume to dictate what the other Republican States shall submit to, and to carry out the behests by aid of the negro pawns, the South ern delegates being only political ci phers to enable New-Yorkand Pennsyl vania to count ten. If the real Repub lican States would rebel against an ig noble slavery and nominate a candi date of their own they would have a chance of electing him, and would at least break - the yoke of a servile party bondage." ABE THESE PROPHETIC AVOISDS ! In the final paragraphs of the great Thos. H. Benton's "Thirty Years in the United States Senate," he sums up concisely, as a historian, the teachings of the events in which he was a con spicuous actor, and then reluctantly and sadly expresses his apprehensions as to the future. They fell idly on the public mind when they were printed, but his prophecy has passed into his tory. He said: "I have seen the capacity of the peo ple for self-government tried at many points, and always found them equal to the demands of the .occasion. Two other trials, now going on, remain to be de cided to settle the question of that ca pacity. 1. The election of President! and whether that election is to be gov erned by the virtue and intelligence of the people, or to become the spoil of in trigue and corruption. 2. The senti ment of political nationality! and whether it is to remain co-extensive with the Union, leading to harmony and fraternity ; or, divide into section alism, ending in hate, alienation, sepa ration and civil war. An irresponsible body (chiefly self-constituted, and main ly dominated by professional eilice seekers and office-holders) have usurp ed the election of President (tor the nomination is the election, so far as the party is concerned); and always making it with a view. to their own profit in the monopoly of office and plunder." lie adds further on: "Con federate republic are short-lived the shortest in the whole family of govern ments. Two diseases beset them cor- upt election of the chief magistrate when elective; sectional contention when interest or ambition are at issue Our Confederacy is now laboring un der both diseases ; and the body of the people, now as always, holiest in senti ment and patriot in design, remain un conscious of the danger and even be come instruments in the hands of their destroyers." Are these words of prophecy; and are we to wreck the ship of slate on the rocks and shoals of machine poli tics? We shall not despair as long as we believe the people to be honest, but if that faith shall be lost, then the empire. Too Much (o Do. McMillan's Magazine. Too much to do, besides its direct ef fect on the busy worker, exposes him to certain inconveniences aut to escaue the notice of others. One of these is the effect produced on the memory. One who leads a rushiner life, who has to hurry from one thing to another, and from one person to another without a: moment's interval, cannot have a vivid emembrance of many things that hap pen in his experience. He is necessari- y liable to forget, in a way that anoth er cannot understand. Manv a busv physician has found himself at times in serious trouble from this cause. He las made a promise to a patient, but be fore the promise had hardened in his memory, some excitingcase has hurried mm away, obliterated the impression, and the promise has been forgotten. Authors' memories have been known from a similar cause to plav them strange tricks. We know an author who was engaged in writing a book amid many other absorbing compac tion?. For some weeks the book had to be laid aside. When leisure came, he resumed it, as he thought, at the point wnere ne naa oroicen it off, and got through a considerable chapter, when to his mingled amazement and amuse ment, he lound in his drawer another manuscript, almost precisely, similar, the existence of which he had quite for gotten, oo strange ana incredible are these tricks of memory, that sometimes tne most nonest oi men, it examined in a court of justice, would hardly be be lieved. The non mi recordo would hardly be accepted by those who have had little experience of the difficulty of carrying in tne memorv impressions which have not had time to photograph themselves on its tablets, or have been blurred by other impressions following too quiCKiy. O'HaraandiHU Party. O Hara, the colored contestant for a seat in the House of Representatives from the second North Carolina dis trict, who lately told the Senate exodus committee how, badly the white Repub licans of that State treat their colored allies, has prepared an address to the colored Republicans of his district, and oi the state generally, in reference to the selection of delegates to the Chica go convention. He takes exception to what has already been done by the .North Carolina Republican State com mittee, and urges the colored Republi cans to organize ana aemand a propor tionate representation in the delega tion. O'Hara is opposed to Sherman. Uayi' Indian Crookedness. New York, Feb. 6. A special com mittee of the Indian commission, in vestigatine the case of Ex-Com misinn. er Hayt, has completed and made pub he its report after considerable modifi cation. . The report says the charges involve serious actuations against agent H. Li. Hart and Inspector J. II. Ham- mona, implicating the commissioner as passively consenting to Hammnnd'c irregularities, if not actually co-operating with him, with the understanding that Mr. Hayt and his friends were to ue uenentea thereby.

Political Disabilities to bo Kcmoved Other Matter Before llie Hoiise. Washington, Februar$-:iT. House. The House, al ter transacting some mis cellaneous business, proceeded to I he consideration of private bills. Upson, of Texas, from the committee on military affairs, reported the: bill au thorizing the secretary of the treasury to ascertain and report tu JJongress the amount of money expended and the in debtedness assumed by the- tate of Texas in repelling Indian, and Mexican raids. Printed and recommitted.; The House then resumed thnsid eration of the bill pending in the morn ing hour, for removing the political dis abilities of Jno. Owens, of Virginia. Conger, of Michigan, opposed the bill for the reason that the petition at tempted to smooth over the late war of insurrection by calling it the "War of the Confederacy." He said there had been too much of this attempted justi fication of treason and rebellion by call ing them by rose-colored names. If the petitioner wanted his political disabili ties removed because he had.beenin the rebellion against his government, let him say so, and not call the rebellion the war of the Confederacy. Goode, of Virginia, said no particular form of petition had ever been pre scribed heretofore, and he thought it too late 'in the day, fifteen years after the end of the war, to take a new de parture like this and make a man write the words "traitor" and "rebel" on his own brow with his own hand, and get down in the dust and cry "unclean," be fore this great government wrould con sider his petition. Conger replied with some acrimony, and the House seemed on the point of drifting into an excited political discus sion, when Wood, of New York, object ed to further debate as unwise and un profitable. The bill was then passed, 160 to 46. The bill removing the political disa bilities of Joseph A. Se well, of Virginia, was passed without objection. Reed, of Maine, from the judiciary committee, reported back Senate bill for the relief of Gibbs & Co., of Charleston, S. C, which was passed. The House then went into committee of the whole on the private calendar, but without transacting any important business. The committee rose and the House adjourned until Monday. COMMITTEES. The House committee on commerce to-day devoted another session to the subject of regulating inter-State rail road commerce. The sub-committee on Reagan's bill were ready to report it back without material modification, but the sub-committee on McLane's bill had not fully completed their consider ation of that measure. It was, how ever, discussed at some length in con nection with Reagan's bill and McCoid's proposition, and finally the whole sub ject went over for possible action at the committee's next regular meeting on the 10th inst. The sub-committee of the House of the ways and means committee will give a hearing Monday to parties inter ested in the passage of Representative Jorgensen's bill providing for cancella tion of the export bonds of tobacco manufacturers at ports of clearance. The matter is one of great interest to the tobacco manufacturers of the coun try, who have made several attempts during the past three years to bring the subject before Congress and secure re lief. A TE RISIBLE REPOUT. Showing' the Barbarity of the Ken tucky Penitentiary, Louisville, Feb. 5. The legislative committee, appointed to investigate the management or the Kentucky State prison, lias made its report. The com mittee finds, among other things, that during the year 1879, out of l,0oo pris oners, 775 were under medical treat ment for scurvy, produced by bad and insurficient food. Of this number, 13 died of that disease. The death list in that year ran up to 7!) as against 34 in 1S77, and 31 in 1S78, when the prison was equally overcrowded. Besides these, a considerable number died after being pardoned by the governor and leaving the.- prison. The committee also find that the practice of flogging tne prisoners is carried to a cruel ex tent; that the beds and bedding are in sufficient ana in baaconaition ; that the ventilation and sewerage are defective ana nnany tnat sucn connnement is in outrage on humanity." Thev re commend the immediate removal of the present keeper of the prison. CABLE FLASHED.

I his is the first instance tor ma ny years of a non-socialist paper being suppressed. A Fans dispatch states that the bud get committee proposes a vote of credit of 8,000,000 francs for the construction of subterranean telegraph lines. A Berlin dispatch says from the fact that Archduke AJbrecht is to represent Austria at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Czar's accession to the throne, the German press concludes that a ro prochement between Austria and Rus sia is going on. The Archduke is a re cognized friend of Rusia. Bobbed ot $125,000 in Bonds. United Stales , New York, .Feb. 6. An old man named Kenneth, Albro, who came here Saturday from Texas, where he is re ported to have been extensively en gaged in cattle raising, was robbed of his satchel containing $125,000 in regis tered United States bonds while ascend ing the steps of the sub-treasury. He alleges that he was accosted by two men, one of whom dropped a pocket book before him, and on his attention being called to it he was pushed down and the satchel wrested from his handr. He has no clue to the thieves, except an answer to advertisements which he caused to be inserted in the morning papers, offering $5,000 for the return of the bonds. The answer agreed to sur render them on payment of $25,000.

Important Testimony of Nor h Caro lina Neffre -Uvidence Showing How Tbef are "Oppressed." Washington, Feb. ,6, The Senate; exodus committee held a protracted session to-day and examined nine wit nesses. Most of the evidence went simply to corroborate that previously taken, but some of it was very interest ing, especially the testimony of colored farmers from various parts of North Carolina, who before the war were either penniless or slaves, and who are now owners of farms of from two hun dred to one thousand acres. C. S. Wooten, formerly living near LaGrange attributed the exodus to the misrepre sentations of an agitator named Perry, who deluded the negroes with the idea that their travelling expenses would be paid by the government. Perry, he be lieved, received one dollar from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for every passenger furnished their road. Wooten ridiculed the idea that the negroes wrere oppressed in North Carolina, and thought they had as good an opportunity to make a living there as laborers have anywhere. James Buchanan, of Indianapolis, a former abolitionist and prominent Greenbacker of Indiana, testified that there was no room or demand for more laborers in that State. Every winter the supervisors of the poor had to feed able-bodied men, who could not get work. He was and always had been opposed to the exodus, and he believed nine out of ten Republicans in his State were opposed to it. Half a dozen Republican leaders, however, whose names he gave, iaa tacitly encouraged the movement. with the hope that their party would derive benefit from it. Jno. O'Kelly. of Raleigh, N. C, who was a slave before the war, testified that he was worth $5,000. Another colored man, from near Goldsboro, N. C, said he owns 475 acres of land, part of which he rents to white men. AV. W. Arington, of Nash county. testified that he was a slave before the war, but now owns 1,000 acres of land. The Senate exodus committee Wed nesday examined E. B. Borden, of Golds boro, JS. C, who said the people of North Carolina do not feel alarmed at the exodus, that it is already subsiding, and that the great masses of the colored people in the State are as well content ed as they are in any other section of the country. The witness was cross examined by Mr. Blair, particularly in regard to the landlord and tenant law. Mr. Borden stated that the law bore the same on while and black, and did not necessarily place laborers at the mercy of the landlord and the merchant, that a man might be a good laborer and still be thriftless, and that any man, even a pauper, who produces more than he consumes is a benefit to the State. Senator Vance said to the witness: "Mr. Blair has tried to make vou say that this landlord and tenant law was passed on the presumption that all ten ants were dishonest. I ask youjf you think because they have laws in New Hampshire against stealing, that all of Mr. Blair's constituents are thieves V" Of course the witness did not think anything of the kind. T. C. Groomes, a lawyer, of Greencastle, Ind., read to the committee extracts from the Green castle Banner, urging the colored peo ple in the South to come .North of the Ohio and help make a solid North. The committee adjourned until Friday. Another Tilt with Victoriy. New York, Feb. G. Denver specials state that on the morning of the 3rd Maj. Morrow again caught up with Victoria, in the Malpais and Lava Beds, on the east side of the San Rudreas mountains. Victoria held a strong po sition on top oi the blurt and made a determined resistance all day. Towards evening lie was dislodged and compel! ed to abandon his position. Darkness and the rough, country prevented pur suit that night. Ihe troops lost one Indian scout killed, and tour men or the ninth cavalry were wounded. Bleeding-Kansas flaa Enough. Cincinnati, February 5. A special from Topeka, Kansas, says the officers of the Kansas freedman's relief associa tion have been instructed by the direc tors of the association to devise and put in operation some pratical method ot averting the constantly increasing immigration of colored people to Kan sas. An effort will be made to turn the tide to other States, where there is more need of laborers, and where the people are better able to care for such. as they are in destitute circumstances. l ne reuei association nas louna it im possible to maintain the hundreds of emigrants who have lately arrived. An Unpleasant Report in Washington Washington, Feb. 3. One of the af ternoon.newspapers prints astory which, without giving the names, implicates a Southern Senator in the ruin of one of the young women clerks in the treasury department. The report, briefly, is that a woman employed in the department has been discovered in enticing certain ot her associates to houses of ill-fame The young woman in question was one of these. She is alleged to have made a full confession to a relative or friend, and legal proceedings are proposed. Parnell and Dillon Coming- South. Richmond, February 0. Messrs.
