Cox is one of the bright est men in Congress, gifted to an ex traordinary degree by nature, an em inent scholar whose range of study nas not been confined to politics. though he has been in politics a great portion of his life. He is always in teresting and never fails to command attention when he has anything to say in Congress. For years he has been regarded as a leader in Demo cratic councils and was warmly sup ported for the position which Mr. Carlisle now holds, the Speakership of the present Congress. Had it not been for his advanced free trade ideas he might have won it. His prominence in the party, his prominence in Con gress, make his utterance s worthy of note, because he commands a follow ing and voices not simply the senti ments of S. S. Cox, but of the free trade element of the party of which he is the most brilliant, though not the most noisy advocate. He deliv ered an elaborate speech in Congress Thursday on the bonded whisicey ex tension bill, in which, however, he devoted more attention to the tariff question than to the bill proper under consideration. In this speech he is reported as saying that whilst he had ever been a devoted member of the Democratic party, which, with what ever of failings it might have, was still the party of the poor man as against the Republican party w hich was the party of wealth, and whilst he believed that if the issue were made in the next campaign between free trade and protection the party would meet with defeat, he still pre ferred defeat upon that issue to suc cess without it. This is strange talk, confession of anticipated defeat be fore the contest begins, and an ex pressed desii e for defeat unless victo ry can be won on a plan which is conceded to be impossible. Couple this with Mr. Watterson's wild rav ings about the possible dissolution of the Democratic party, driving men who favor protection out of the par ty, and going down with flying colors and all that sort of blue grass non sense, and it looks as if certain gen tlemen had made up their minds to run the Democratic party in their own way or burst it. After nearly a quarter of a century of Republican rule, in which corrup tion has reached colossal propor tions and pervaded every department of the government, radiating from centre to circumference; in which rings and corporations have ruled, rioted and grown rich at the expense of the people; in which the constitu tion, the rights of the States and the liberties of the people have been ig nored and trampled upon ; in which the thousands of millions of dollars collected from the people in taxes have been squandered, the larger portion of it going to the benefit of individuals and to keep the party in power; in which the whole tendency of Federal legislation and judicial construction has been towards cen tralized power after all this, with all this before them, could these gen tlemen find no other issue at this time than the tariff worth going be fore the people upon? And does that rise to such towering proportions that rather thau let it rest for the present they must force it upon the Democracy, and invite defeat rather than let it rest, when they know that if the Democracy were united upon it, it would be impossible at this time, with the North so decidedly Republi can and a Republican Senate and President, to give their free trade pol icy even a respectable start? It is nothing more nor less than factional spirit run mad, the unreasoning lu nacy that will rule or ruin, with ruin as the almost certain result. The Democratic party is in the position to-day where it has more to fear from its professed friends than from its open foes. ADVICE FROM OLD VIRGINIA. The Democratic State central com mittee of Virginia, in its meeting at Alexandria, Thursday, to decide upon the time and place to call the con vention, adopted the following reso lution, which is well worthy of the thoughtful attention of our members in Congress, and Democratic bodies who desire the success of the party: ''Resolved, That the Democratic State committee have observed with grave concern the division threaten ing the Democratic partv of the country upon the tariff and feel at liberty to express their opinion indi vidually that the agitation of this question, at this period, is unwise and should be discouraged, and that all Democrats should subordinate all differences and concentrate upon the one great issue of reform in the gov ernment and its restoration to purity and to true constitutional principles." It would be well for Mr. Morrison, Mr. . Carlisler Mr. Watterson and other gentlemen of their school in and out of Congress to ponder - over this wise counsel and slack up in the wild career upon which they have started. If they prefer defeat to success and are bent upon coins: down with "flags flying" as some of them sav, they will not hped it and will doubtless meet the fate which they so rashly and stupidly court. The PhiladelphiaRecord says: "The towns in the South and West keep on growing, like weeds in June. The protective dry rot that assails the manufacturing East does not pene trate to the sound heart of business. The farmers go along as usual and carry their load. But they are be ginning to think about the weight of it." The farmers of the South and West are not giving themselves any concern about the "protective dry rot." They conclude, perhaps, that it is not such a bad thing as represented, while the towns upon which the fanner's pros perity so greatly depends, "keep on growing like weeds in June." The Lynchburg (Va.) News has re ceived a letter from New York capi talists, offering to furnish one-half the capital necessary to erect and equip a $400,000 or $500,000 cotton factory, if the remainder be sub scribed by citizens of Lynchburg. In response one firm has subscribed $10,000, another $5,000, and the sub ject is being canvassed with encour aging prospects of success. During the eight months sinie the beginning of the current fiscal year, June SO, 1883, reports from the cus toms districts show that 266,228 im migrants arrived in this country, of whom 90,603 came from Germany, 40,972 from England and Wales, 35. 476 from Canada and 21,786 from Ire land. For the same period last year the immigration was 300,484. Arthur's opponents charge that he is using federal patronage to further his own interest. Well, haven't they all done it? When John Sher man was Secretry of the Treasury didn't he have scores of strikers on the pay roll whose only business was bruising around getting up a boom and stocking delegations for him? The Philadelphia Record : Things appear to be working. While Ed munds pricks the wind of Blaine, and the son of his father trips up the heels of Logan, President Arthur will car ry off the Chicago nomination. He has deserved this mark of favor at the hands of his party. His conser vatism has healed up old sores and made no new ones. Real estate dealers in Richmond say they" are receiving more demands for information in regard to Virginia lands than they have within ten years before, principally from the North and Northwest, where the cold winters have caused many peo ple to look southward for homes in a more genial clime. .Prince Bismarck, having sufficient ly recovered from the irritation over the Lasker affair to invite Minis ter Sargent to the Emperor's birthday dinner, they will probably take some "cold tea" together. Does rfot Me. Watterson assume rather much in plyaing the grand Mogul of the Democratic party, and cavalierly declaring who is and who is not a Democrat? Mr. H. W. goes just a trifle too far. Mr. Watterson seems really anx ious to drive somebody out of the Democratic party. But suppose somebody persists in staying in, what is Mr. W. going to do about it? The marriage license bill, reducing the cost of the license from $4.50 to fifty cents, has passed the Maryland legislature, and is now waiting the Governor's signature. A call has been issued for the South Carolina State Democratic Convention to meet in Columbia, June 26th. Logan's friends are alarmed at the proportions that the Blaine boom is reaching and charge him with treach ery. An Industrial CeDgress. A call has been issued for an in dustrial Congress to meet in Chicago, May 21, to take into consideration the fact that while the nation has vast undeveloped resources and op portunities for raising nearly every product it needs, it does not ; but annually imports millions of dollars of products, which could and ought to be raised here as cheaply as any where else. The main idea of the convention, therefore, is that this country should be made nearly as self supporting as possible, and not dependent on other lands. The address calls attention to our uneven and unbalanced industrial condition, and as an example it re fers to the anomaly that America now purchases $100,000 of sugar annually from slave-holding Cuba, which can be profitably produced at home from cane, sorghum and beet. Among the industries that will be represented at this convention are sugar, flax, ramie, hemp, jute, etc. The wool growers of the country who had arranged to hold a meeting in Chicago somewhat earlier will postpone it a few weeks, so as to assemble at the same time as this industrial Congress; and will thus add to its strength and influence.

An ejectment, as well as in ac tion to recover personal property, the verdict and judgment conclusively determine the matter in issue be tween the parties. Where plaintiff in ejectment claims under a mortgagee's sale, and also by reason of an estoppel arising out of a judgment against the de eendant in a former action, involving the titl-3 to the same land ; Held, that a general denial of the plaintiff's own ership does not controvert the exist ence of the record of said iude- ment. 3. A judgment rendered upon de murrer is as conclusive, by way of estoppel, as a verdict finding the tacts confessed would have been. Shepherd vs. Murrill. A debtor has the right at anv time before sale under execution to de mand that his personal propertv ex emption be laid off. A failure to make such demand at the time of the levy does not operate a waiver of such right. McJUxichern vs. Kerchner. 1. A judgment by consent cannot be corrected by the court without the consent of all the parties to it. It ia not the judgment of the court except in the sense that it is recorded and has the effect of a judgment. In such case the court can only correct its own errors in making the en cries, as for instance, the misprision of its clerk. 2. A party complaining of such judgment upon the ground of fraud or mistake, can seek redress by in stituting a new action. 3. An interlocutory consent order may be corrected upon motion in the cause. Howerton vs. Sexton. 1. The act of the Assembly requir ing service of summons and copy of complaint upon infant defendants be fore appointing a guardian ad litem went into operation after this pro ceeding was begun. 2. This case is governed by the for mer law, (C. C. P. section 59) and the failure of the guardian to answer the the petition to sell land for partition worked no injury to the tenants in common, it appearing that a sale was necessary to their interest, and that the sale was ordered upon their peti tion, although the application for the appointment of the guardian was not signed by them and the appointment not dated. The Code, section 387, curing defects where there was no personal service of summons upon infants, remarked upon. 3.. Where it appears that a sale of land for partition was made in the interest of all concerned, the court will not set it aside on th ground of a want of precision in the record of the preceding, and in the absence of evidence of fraudulent practices in bringing it about. 4. The testator expressed a wish that the farm products be applied to debts and then to the education of children ; the proceeds of the farm proved to be insufficient for this purpose and as there was nothing in the will to prohibit the conversion, and as the interest on the money would more directly conduce to said pur pose, a sale of the land was upheld. 5. This cause is remanded to the end that there may bo an inquiry as to the payment of the purchase mon ey and the manner of its disposition. The Blood-Drinkers. New York Sun. Another innovation is the large use of hot ox's blood by the weakly young girls and women. They drive daily to the slaughter house to have a big cup of it just as they would drive to the spring at BOme watering Elace. Some of them take a bath of ot blood once or twice a week. A rare tenderloin steak broiled and served without any gravy or vege table, is the most fashionable supper amoDg men who live fast. They don't touch the supper at parties, but on their way home drop in at the club or some night resort, eat the middle pyrt of a steak, with the blood of the rest of it, squeezed by a ma chine like those used at the Hoffman House for sqeezing the blood out of canvas back ducks.

Rescued From Ita.tli. Wm. J. Coughlln, of Soraervllle. Mass., says: "In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of Lungs followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and tiesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole In my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to get well, and to-day I feel oeuer man ior inree years."

It was neutral eround durinif thearmietice between Sherman and Johnson. Soldiers of both armies filled their poncnea with the tobacco stored there, and, after the surrender, marched home ward. Soon orders came from East, West, North and South, for "more of that elegant tobacco." Then, ten men ran an unknown factory. Now it employs 800 men, uses the pink and pick of the Golden Belt, and the Durham Bull is the trade-mark of this, the best tobacco in the world. Black-well's Bull Durham Smoking- Tobacco has the largest sale of any smoking tobacco in the world. Why? Simply because it is the bat. All dealers have it Trade-mark of the Bull.
