tIAlcdcK.'S OPINION OF ARTfllTIt,
We published yesterday in our tele
graphic dispatches ; the very warm en
dorsement that Gen. Hancock gave Mr.
Arthur in reply to interrogatories put
to him. Gen. Hancock's sense of prcH
priety would, of course, prevent him
from saying anything about Mr. Ar
thur 'unless he. could say something
gopdT for the. relations they now offi
cially occupy towards each other, with
the possibilityrndhat now seems
the probability, of a still closer relation,
would make any adverse criticism at
this time -very questionable; and as
Gen. Hancock is a man of marked good
sense, of course he saw all this. We do
not propose to intimate that the Gene
ral was not sincere in what he said, and
that he was flattering Mr. Arthur at
the expense of proper candor; for we
do not believe him to be that kind of a
man. He undoubtedly knows Mr. Ar
thur and knows him well, and has in
all likelihood been placed in a position
to give him ample opportunities of
judging.
We have not discovered any disposi
tion on the part of the public to ques
tion the Vice-President's patriotism
nor integrity, but the close relation he
has borne to the Conkling faction and
the active part he took in its contest
with the administration, has subjected
him to a criticism that was severe and
just. He certainly was not governed
by good judgment in permitting him
self to play the part he did as a fac
tional partisan. He was no doubt un
der obligations to Mr. Conkling, his
warm supporter in the past, and the
man who secured his nomination at
Chicago, and probably felt that grati
tude required that he should cling to
his friend when the hour of conflict
came. It was this very fact that crea
ted doubt .and suspicion , in the minds
of the public as to his fitness to occupy
a position as responsible as that of
chief magistrate. They thought, and
justly so, from all the indications visi
ble, that he would be simply a cat's
paw in the hands of designing men
who would use hkn to further their
own interests and ambitious schemes.
They saw Conkling, Grant, Cameron,
Logan, and that kind of men, behind
the throne, men who for eight years of
Grant's administration ran riot and
brought disgrace upon the country.
Any assurance from well informed
sources, in which the people may have
confidence, that he is not that kind of
a man, but one who has some individ
uality in him and some independence of
thought and action, and inspired by up
right and patriotic impulses will be re
ceived with pleasure, and will do much
to reconcile people to the new adminis
tration should events call it into exis
tence.
The very fact that Mr. Arthur has
been criticised so fully and so freely,
may have had a salutary influencaupon.
him and taught him the propriety of
avoiding complications that have
brought him under censure, a thought
which he may carry with him into the
new responsibilities that may devolve
upon him. Since the wounding of the
President he has behaved in a very de
corous manner, and left no opportunity
for critics to find fault with him, which
shows that he is not wanting in good
sense when he chooses to exercise it.
They who know him personally say
he is a "glorious fellow," by which they
mean that he is a man of good heart
and generous impulse, and in sympathy
with his fellow-men, and also a man of
far more than ordinary ability, found
even among those occupying high and
responsible positions. Should he be
called from his present to a higher posi
tion, let him be met kindly and judged
not by any preconceived prejudices or
opinions, but by his acts. We trust he
will confirm the good opinions express
ed by his friends and disappoint his
enemies.

CONSOLIDATING BAH6EI LINES.
Jay Gould has bought up and con
solidated the different barge lines on
the Mississippi River,; and will, hence
forth have th grain-bearing' trade of
that stream practically in his own
hands. Gould is a grasper of magnifi
cent reach and grip. When he wants
anything he . goes for it witty method

and shipped from New Orleans to Eng
land at a less figure than it could be
sent by rail to New York and thence to
Europe, he concluded barges would be
a good thing to invest in and forthwith
began to invest. But others invested
also, and then he decided that it would
be a good thing to have a monopoly of
the business and forthwith he bought
all the others out. In this way he can
dictate his own terms and by keeping
his figures just a little under railroad
rates he can get all the grain he wants
to carry and coin money too. As far
as opposition is concerned he don't
dread that, for he has the financial ca
pacity t starve out any ordinary oppo
sition that might put itself in his way.
The next thing he will go for will pro
bably be a line of vessels from New
Orleans to England, making the mon
opoly on this line cover not only the
river but the ocean also.
PUI.SE, TEMPERATURE AND RES
PIRATION.
Headers ot Washington bulletins in
reference to the condition of the Presi
dent mav find the following of inter
est:
The normal rate of the pulse is va-
rionsly estimated, and depends upon the
age ana otner circumstances. 'or
adults it is generally between 70 and 75
beats per minute. In exceptional cases
however, a pulse as low as 60 or as
high as 80 may exist in a healthy
person.
Tne normal temperature or tne nu-
man body also vanes sngntiy. in
Dunglison's Medical Dictionary it is
stated to be from 98 to 100 degrees or
upward. The physicians in the Presi
dent's case estimate the normal temper
ature at irom. 98.4 degrees to 98.8 de
grees.
The normal rate 01 respiration is es
timated by some at 18 per minute. Oth
ers say it is Irom 18 to 20.
THE OFFICIAL TOTE.
The vote cast in the last State elec
tion on the question of prohibition was
counted yesterday, by the State board
of canvassers, and the result is about
118,000 majority for anti-prohibition.
Owing to some irregularity the returns

which will reduce the majority about

The Difference Between Disability
and Inability.
In the current discussions on the
topic of presidential inability nobody,
says the Philadelphia Record, seems to
have yet called attention to the fact
that the paragraph of the constitution
bearing upon the subject employs the
word "disability as well as the word
"inability," the latter being used twice
ana tne former once. They were pro
bably intended to mean precisely the
same thing, and the change in the ex
pression used is due to the circumstance
that the last clause of the paragraph, in
which "disability" appears, was substi
tuted as an amendment to the original
draft. Worcester makes disability a
synonym of inability and defines it as
"want of power or ability, inability, in
competence." He gives as a secondary
meaning "incapacity to do a legal act.
Bouvier defines disability as "the want
of legal capacity," but this is a techni
cal definition. One of the lexicograph
ers draws the line of distinction be
tween the two words thus : "Inability
is the natural want of ability or power,
ana lies in tne nature or tne thing, and
is irremediable ; disability is the want
of qualification, and lies in the circum
stances, and may sometimes be re
moved. Inability to purchase an es
tate ; disability to inherit it or to hold
it. A person who is insane or in his
nonage labors under a legal disability
to make contracts."
The Result of Civilization
New York Son.
A writer in a West Virginia paper
says that the Shenandoah Valley, when
first settled, one hundred and sixty
years ago, was an open, prairies-like re
gion, covered with tall grass, on which
herds of deer, buffalo and elk fed, and
devoid of timber except on occasional
ridges ; but tnat after it became settled
trees sprang up almost as thickly and
regularly as if seed had been planted.
These forests, having been preserved
by the farmers, cover now a larere Dart
of the surface of the valley with hard
wood trees of superior excellence. The
explanation of this change is that pre
vious to the settlement of the valley
annual fires, negligently started by In
dians, burned up the young trees and
prevented tne formation of forests, but
witn tne arrival 01 settlers these fires
were Drevented : and the oninion is as
serted tnat tne treeless character of the
Western Drairies is owinir to the Indian
practice of annually burning the grass.
were it not tor tnat, dense forests
would have covered these vast plains
ior centuries.

risen to an enormous height at sunrise
this morning, and is now breaking over
the bar and running across the beach.
Its direction is from southeast. The
wind changed from northeast to east
at 7 a. m, and then to southeast, and is
now northeast again. At 10 a. m. the
wind's velocity was over 28 miles
northeast . Heavy cumulo stratus
clouds can be seen above the horizon
from east to southeast. Cautionary
signals have been ordered to be dis
played along the .North Carolina coast
from Cape Henry to Smith ville, in an

only suitable place of expiation for the
senseless villainy committed several

plant near the Charles street entrance
to the broad walk and the irreparable
injury done to several other valuable
plants are offences which can only be
punished adequately by quick and sure
Eublic disgrace. Whether the motive

a thoroughly bad nature, and it should
be made dangerous.

THE EVILS THAT ATTEND SUCCESS.
Success generally creates envy-envy beeets ha
tred hatred gives place to malice-malice
prompts mischief, and so the bineful list roes on.

thority, meets with no exception to this rale. Its
snecess,' Induced 'by Integrity and honesty In its
management, witn nperaiity' ana cnarity, have
caused to spring up in New York 'opponents who
try to circulate all kinds of false reports as to us
permanence and ability to redeem its promises.
Let every one who has a lingering doubt write to
M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La., to establish the
truth that all that is promised will be performed.
