Charlotte N. C. GETTING TIRED OF IT. D. C. Forney, of Philadelphia, a son of Col. John W. Forney, and a Republican, who has been traveling in New York, reports the apathy of Republicans in that State is at freez ing point, and from all he could learn by conversation with intelligent peo ple whom he met from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massachusetts, the feeling among Republicans in those States is not much better. From the present outlook he sees nothing ahead of that party but defeat. He attributes it to the fact that the people have become dissatisfied with the leaders who have been running the party in their own interest, and for their own advance ment and gain. This is true as far as it goes, but it don't go far enough. The people have become not only dis satisfied with the class of men who have gotten control of the party, but they have become dissatisfied with the policy of the party, and the utter impossibility of reforming the party and bringing it into accord with pop ular demands. . The fact is the people became tired of the Republican party several years ago, but it was kept alive by a pecu liar combination of circumstances, the most potent of which was section alism, to which it is mainly indebted for its prolongation of life. Its leaders have resorted to every device that cunning or villiany could suggest, and when these failed they fell back on the sectional cry, and made the credulous masses believe that there was danger to the country in the re storation to power of the Democratic party, which would be under South ern or, as they liked to call it, "rebel" influence. But gradually this foolish fear wore out, and as it did the Republican leaders lost their, grip, and State after State passed from their control. It is a notorious fact that outside of two or three States every victory the Republicans win now is won by the lavish use of money. When they lack money they are beaten. Gov. Foster said they were beaten in Ohio at the recent election for want of money, although it was said that a considerable sum had been sent into that State, but not enough, it seems, to save them. It yet has control of the national administration, with its vast patron age, its army of officeholders and em ployees, which will enable it to con tinue the fight for some time yet, but without which it would enter the next race without the shadow of a hope. Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, in an article in the Nortk American Review for November on the restric tion of suffrage, takes the ground that "the pioperty qualification is the best that can be established, " and, that on the whole, "it excludes more of the unworthy and fewer of the worthy than any other test that can be de vised." This same Senator was one of the first and most pronounced ad vocates of the wholesale enfranchise ment of the colored people. John Sherman thinks wool and pro hibition laid the Republicans out but that the disaffected will be all right berf ore the presidential election comes around. But isn't the wool tariff more of a National than a State mat ter, and won't the wool men who voted against the Republican party n t;he State election on that issue be quite as likely to do so in a pres idential election? Mr. Sherman con cedes New York to the Democrats this fall. While the city of St. Louis by the census of 1880 shewed 100,757 males above 21 year? of age, which number has been increased 10,000 or more since, the books of the city registrar just completed contain only 55,954 names, orabout onehalf the number of voters who care enough about the franchise to take the trouble to regis ter. And yet in St Louis there is a great howl about bad municipal gov ernment. . Newark, N. J., has the champion villain, an engineer named Gamaliel D. Sleeper, who ran the engine in a factorv near one of the public schools, He is under arrest for Enticing little girls into the engine room and there as saulting them. Before arrested he had accomplished his purpose with sixteen girls ranging in age from ten jto fourteen years.

Neal Dow, of Portland, Me., has written a letter to Dr. Miner, of Boston, in which he says : "We have fully made up our minds to break with the Republican party in Maine, as you have done in Massa chusetts. You may perhaps know that during all these years I have en tertained the hope of accomplishing our purpose, viz: the final suppression of the grog shops through that party as the easiest and speediest way of doing it. We have at last abandoned all hope of that. The party here, as in Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Connecticut, and many other States, is openly in league with 'the gigantic crime of crimes,' and has now undertaken the task of de fending it against the will" of the people. When I speak of the Repub lican party in Maine I mean the bosses ; the party now, as heretofore, is thoroughly against the liquor traf fic. In this State we can easily over throw this wretched rum ring as you have not yet been able to do in the old Bay State. The present is a par ticularly favorable time for carrying our great questions to the ballot box, since there is absolutely no question now up between the Republican and Democratic bosses except this. 'KeeD them out, and 'Turn them out.' That is the whole of it, while the importance of our question to the prosperity and happiness of nation, State and people is so great that it cannot be estimated by any process of computation now Known to us. May God defend and prosper the right." Spiders at the White House. 'oshingtcn Cor. Cleveland Leadtr. At the White House vesterdav afternoon the roof of the main portico was cleaned by throwing a stream of water upon it. The result was a per fect shower of spiders. Thousands of these animals of every species had collected under the eaves and in the nooks and corners, so that the roof of tne portico was actually discolored bv them. The water, sent with thA force of a fire engine, brought them to the stone floor below, and soon pernaps a million or them had almost covered it. All kinds of spiders big spiders to little SDiders. black snifters and green spiders, brown spiders and yellow spiders, rolled and tumbled and swam around in the water, which to them was a veritable flood of Noah. The spider most common is called here the "Presidential snider." Theso spiders are as old as the White House, ana tneir presence nere dates bacK to that day where the memory of man fails to eo. As evening drew on the spiders began to crawl back to their old nomes, and tor a time the marble pillars were so covered with them that they looked as though they were painted black. The Amount of Money in the Country. The director of the mint makes the statement that the amount of coin, bullion and currency in the country on Uctober 1 was $1,738,597,823. Of this total $439,000,000 is in the treas ury. The silver dollars and bullion amount to $120,000,000; the silver dollars in actual circulation to less than $40,000,000. Of the $1,300,000, 000 held by the banks, which is esti mated as in circulation, $400,000,000 is in gold coin, $55,000,000 in gold certificates, $347,000,000 in national bank notes, and $309,000,000 in green backs. There has been an increase in the past year of $7,000,000 in gold coin, of $22,000,000 in gold certifi cates, of $5,000,000 in silver dollars and $14,000,000 in silver certificates, in the hands of the people or outside the treasury and the national banks. Against this is a decrease of $16,000, 000 in the amount of greenbacks so held, and $15,000,000 in national bank notes, making, with an increase of fractional silver coin, a net increase in the amount of the circulating medium of $19,000,000. Surprised by Wealth. An Irishman named Peter Mc Enerney died in Birmingham, Conn., a short time ago. He had come over from Ireland but a few years before. He left a family of seven children,the oldest of whom is 21. He kept a small grocery store, keeping up some show of respectability, yet living ap- Earently on almost nothing at all. At is death he left no will, and the widow and orphans expected to fare but poorly. As the administrator went to work, however, he revealed new wonders at every step. First a large amount of real estate belonging to McEnerney, and amounting to about $100,000 in value, was discov ered. Hardly was the surprise at this over when word came from Fish & Hatch, in New York, that they held $150,000 in bonds for McEnerney. How the man ever collected so great an amount of property is a mystery to his family as much as to everybody else. A Majority Over All. The full returns from the Ohio elec tion show that Hoadly, Democrat, not only has a maiority of 12,529 oyer Foraker, republican, but he has a maiontv of 1,383 over his republi can, greenback and prohibition oppo nents combined, and this despite the fact that the republican vote shows an increase of 50,000 over that of last fall. The total vote this year is 721, 464. nearly 3.503 less than was cast at the presidential election in 1880. At that election Garfield's majority over Hancock was 34,227. the late election thus showing a difference in favor of the Democracy of 46,956. In the Senate the Democrats have elected 22 Democrats against 11 Republicans, and in the House 60 Representatives against 45 Republicans, giving a Democratic majority of 26 on joint ballot.

BILLIARDS. Champion Game Between Sexon and Slosson. Chicago, Oct 25. -A game of cush ion billiards for the championship and five hundred dollars a side was played last night at the Central Mu sic Hall between Wm. Sexon and Geo. F. Slosson, 150 persons were in atten dance. M. Honohan, of Caicago,was referree. The game for the greater part was slow and tedious, Slosson, taking the lead at the start and keep ing it to the end. In the 139th inning Sexon who had gradually narrowed the gap of 101 points put in a plucky run of 30 and was then within reach distance. Slosson was visibly un nerved by the unexpected danger of losing when victory seemed secure and Sexon got another chance, but when he had made 8 points he dis lodged his cue tip and had to take another cue. This circumstance de pressed him greatly and he ended at 13. a run which nromised to envehim the game. Slosson then took courage and in the 141st inning made the 2 points necessarv to e-ive him rush inn carom championship. CIVIL RIGHTS. An Indignation Meetins An "Insult to Our Race". Chicago. III..

Detroit Free Press Two ladies entered a Fort street car one day recently and took seats beside a lady well know to one of them. She gave her friend an in troduction and directly this one re marked. "I think I saw you at the street church one Sunday several weeks ago." "Yes." "You seemed to be as much dis gusted with the sermon as I was, for I saw you was terribly uneasy." "Yes," again. "Did you ever hear a worse preach er in all your life?" "Well, perhaps." "I never did, and I haven't been there since." The conversation then rattled off on some other subject, and by and by the two ladies got off. "I wonder why she didn't agree with me about that preacher ?"queried tVio nrA whn Wasted him.
