Sliwmalif HfftitKfl* 'niIDAY, JULY 11, 1879.

Rend tlie speeeu of lion. Frank 11. Hurd, of Ohio on first page. It will amply repay a careful perusal. «<•►* The Demo rati« Corigre.* s has pass ed a bill abolishing the customs duty tax on quinine. As a consequence the extortionate price heretofore demanded for that article will be greatly reduced. The Brooklyn Eagle asks: If the Republicans really believe that they can easily carry the election in 1880. why should they have an army at their back ? * Hayes, under advice of Tipsy Chandler, refused to take the dose tendered him by the Democratic Congress as a remedy for our nation’s ills. He llnally did take it in broken doses.— And now where is the Dkmocratie back down? Radical Luke Poland, of Vermont, kuew all about Louisiana polities a few peajs ago. The then senator was asked what lie thought of the condition of things in Louisiana, to which he replied: “I think the otherside are d d rascals, and I know our side aro ”

The “Tall Sycamore,” in his recent great speech in the Senate, truthfully remarked: “Sir, the soldier roll at this hour, with the Democratic party in the ascendancy in both branches of Congress, * * shows a better pntronnge bestowed on the Union soldier than it did when the Republican party had unlimited sway.” This was said in the broad light of day, in the United States Senate, and was not disputed. This is a good pill for rad leals who go about asserting that the Democracy dismissed Union soldiers, employees of the Government. Laporto Argus: The Sentinel is the name of a new Republican paper at Rensselaer and it is well conducted.— ’This may compel friend James, of the Union, to flop again and publish unother independent paper. Well, we’Jl ho everlastingly d—og gon d! To stigmatize the Sentinel us a Republican paper!! Whew!!!— Wadsworth, you must take that back, or consider ‘.no challenge out. The Standard is the name of the new paper, and claims to he “reliably Republican.” But wo gm* s tiie consul can’t Hop avy more; Calkins bus anchored him to the post office. .—-«** The New York World pertinently refers to the disastrous failure or lamented death of (he following great Republ.can bloo ly shirt eainpaigu issues:

What about the 1 issue paper ballots? What of the cipher disclosures? What has become of the Okolona Sout'em States? Where is the new rebellion? What’s wrong with tlie Southern exodus? What on earth ails-the Keißucky conspiracy for the assassination of Grant? Why isn’t the Government starved? Whercfor is it that the country hasn’t gone to wreck and ruin generally? It really does seem as if the Republicans had tried during the past few months to galvanize a graveyard into a massmeeting and had discovered that the corpses would rath* r not be disturbed. ' y To such sentimental, over-loyal Republicans, as never saw au enemy ,j but go about elm bJing "how we ap i pies ? Aim,” and denouncing Demo. ; erats as rebel sympathizers, etc., we 1 give the following as the estimate of them heid by Mr. Lincoln, expressed to radical member of Congress, Ashley, in the pre*m-< <• of that sterling. Democrat, and hero of Cbiearnuuga, ! General Steadman: “Brother Ash-j ley,” said the President, “What would have become of us in tills war if it had not been for tiie lighting Demo erats of the Northwest? Our rebel friends would have had their flag floating at the cap tal, sir. The truth is, Brother Ashley, our party is made up to some extent, of the religious and sympathetic-element and they don’t make first-class soldiers.” «•> It is now stated, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, that Knye» and his attorney general, Devens, have conolud. ud a scheme which they think will have a tremendous effect upon the coming elections, and which will justify Hayes’ veto of the marshal appropriation bill. According to the report, Hayes wants to call an extra ses. sion in September, and to justify the call, he is anxious to show that a great many criminals have escaped trial and aouvietion. through, the want of money to pay marshals. Ao a consequence; rogues must escape so that capital may be made against Demo erats. To carry out the scheme, “Devens’ proposition is to issue secret instructions to the Radical marshals directing them to go easy in all criminal eases. Iu short, to allow every criminal to escape where, with any degree of plausibility, the respousi bility can bo fastened upon Congress for having failed to make the appropriation. This is the plan, and the partisan marshals will readily consent to work up to it. Mr. Devens has control of the marshals, and he things he can manipulate them so as to have, within two or three months, a long list of criminal prosecutions fail.— Then Hayes is to perform his part by calling an extra session of Congress just before the Ohio election. The partisan reports of the marshals, showing how the failure to appropriate resulted iu turning many hardened criminals loose upon the conn ly. is to be laid before Congress in a me.uigo from Hayes, who will assume hat the extra session became absolutely necessary in order to carry on the courts. This pia.ii, so the conspirators think, would pla *e the Demo, •rats in a very ugly position by demonstrating .that in f.iilinr to folio,,\ Mayes’ad.vi.ee, they commitle I a grave

blunder. Thus would Hayes’ policy be vindicated and tiie Democrats condemned.” To insure success, the one Democratic mui shal, Fitzgibbons, of Georgia, is to be removed, and then the Republicans will have full swing. It will be worth while to note how the •scheme progresses. Thanks to W. L. O’Brien, General Passenger and Ticket Agent P. C. & St. L.

THE TOWN "DADS."

At the meeting of the Board of Town Trustees, Monday evening, July 7th, the clerk presented the tax duplicate for 1879, which was accepted and the marshal ordered to collect the taxes tliereiu specified within ninety days. The clerk was ordered to post notices in each of the live wards of Rensselaer, stating that the assessment roll is now in the hands of said board, and that on the evening of July 21st, 1879, the board nill meet to hear conplaints of, and appeals from, said assessment. The following hills were allowed: H. E. Jaws, $11.00; M. O. Cissel, $1.90; C. H. Price, $1.00; T. P. Wright, $.91.00; I. 1). Sayler, $4.00; S. P. Daugherty. 50.89; R. Fi-nditr, 04 cents; Wm. Powers, SIB.OO. Total allowances, $94.99, An ordinance was passed to prohibit disturbance ot tiie peace, disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors within the corporate limits, and providing a penalty for violation of same. The compensation.of school trustees was fixed at SI.OO for each day’s service rendered.

Gleanings from Jordan Township.

Most of the com is looking well. Tho health of the community at present writing is good, Mrs. Jay Larnson died on the Bth inst., of consumption. A number of persons from here celebrated t te “4th” at Bunkum, 111. John East has the “boss” piece of flax in tiiis neighborhood. The basket meeting on the 6th inst.. was not very well attended. Mr. Joseph East, who was struck with paralysis a few weeks since, is improving. It is now thought he will recover. Mr. E. R. Burr, Township Trustee, has beeu making some much needed improvements on property ot school No. 7. Several farmers here who have always done their tradingat Goodiand, no a - find it to their interests to patronize Rensselaer. Mr. Leonard Raymond is putting up a substantial barn on his {farm, which greatly improves the looks of things Misses Lizzie Welsh, Kafo Ritchey and Fauuio Miller,.have closed their schools. The little fishing party at Curtis’ Creek’, on the “4th,“ was an enjoyable affair (for all except the fish,particularly the one a young lady landed with such force as to deprive it of breath.) But John East says he don’t want to bait another hook for a year. Don’t say anything to Gene Park about his boy. It might make him mad. You see he was very jubilant over the advent of a Son, and several days had gone by before ho learned that lie was the victim of a practical joke. The baby is doing finely. She has an excellent pair of lungs.

T pical Americans.

The poin t reporter of the Hartford Courimt Wat* so struck by the proportions of (lie members of the Grand Jury in attendance on the United States District Court, now in session there, that lie had thorn weighed an : measured. Of the nineteen members present onlv four were less than G feet high. Their average height was 0 feet 1-Jr inches, and the average weight U 5 pounds. The tallest member was B. 13. Cranford, of Norwalk, G fed 4 inches, and the shortest E L Chapman, of To land. feet H* inches.

The public debt increased $24,788 during the month of June. Ten miliion barrels cf lager a year are in the United States. The average price paid teachers in the Indianapolis schools is $49.46 per month. A tramp applied to a doctor for some work and the doctor asked him what he could do. “Well,” said he, “I could dig graves.” A Massachusetts man got even with the chap who eloped with his daught&r by causing him to be arrested for keeping an unlicensed poodle. “Time, at last, makes all things ev£h.” Mr. Sultz’s little girl, while playing forty feet away from a saw mill at Pleasautville, was struck on the head by a flying chip iiom the saw, receiving dangerous and perhaps fatal injuries, .-<«>■ “Twenty years ago,” said a colored philosopher, “niggers was wuf a thousand dollars apiece. Now (ley would be deah at two dollars a dozen. . It’s ’stonishin’ how de race am runnin’ down.” A very old lady on herde ith bed,iu penitential mood, said: “I have been a great sinner more than eighty yeais, and didn’t know it.” An old colored who had lived with her a long time, exclaimed. “Lors! I knowd it all de time.”

One of the charges against a Sene* ea Falls, New York, minister is that he nired a livery horso and wagon, was gone two days, swapped horses six different times, and came back to the stable with the same horse be took out, and $lO3 in his pocket as the profits of his operations. A college professor once tried to convince Horace Gre'dey of the value of classic languages. The professor said: “Theselanguages are the condui s of the literary treasures of an tiquity.” Mr Ureeley replied: “I like Croton water very well, but it doesn’t follow that I should eat a yard or two of lead pipe.” The steamship City of Washington, of Alexandre’s line, which arrived at New York from Havana, Juno 25th, made the passage in three days and five hours. This is two hours and 45 minutes quicner than any passage she has heretofore made, and is the fastest passage on record between Havana and New York.

Done by ihe President and Board of trustees ot said town, at their regular and lawful meeting, this Bih day or July, A. D. 1879. SAMUEL SCOTT, President. Attest: T. P. Wiuuiit, Town Clerk. A Secret "Worth Knowing. A sort of trade secret amoii 0 ' upholsterers. it is said, is the recipe tor ridding furniture of moths. A set of furniture that seemed to be alive with ihe larvae, and from which hundreds of these - pests had been picked and brushed, was set iu a room by itself. Three gallons of benzine wers purchased at 30 eeuts a gallon, retail.— Using a small water pot, with a fine rose sprinkler, the upholstery was saturated thiAmgh with the benzine. R 9 sulb,-every moth larvae tfnd egg was killed. The benzine - dried out in a few hours, and its entire odor disappeared in three or four days. Not the slightest harm happened qo the varnish, the wood, or fabrics, or hair stuffing. That was months ago, and not the sign of a moth has since appeared. Tiie carpets were also well sprinkled all around tiie sides of the room with equally good effect. For furs, flanindeed all woollen articles containing moths, benzine is most valuable. Put thorn in a box, sprinkle them with benzine, close tiie box tightly, and in a day or two the pests will be exterminated, and the benzine will all evaporate on opening In using benzine great caro should be ; taken that no fire is Dear by, as the stuff, in fluid or vapor form, is very inflammable.

The Maine Convention.

Abraham Sanborn, of Bangor, was the chairman of the recent Maine Democratic State Convention. He made a ringing speeeh on the occasion, from which we make a brief extract as follows, in relation to liepublican legislation: I say it deliberately, and I say it slowly, that my words can be understood, that these enactments would disgrace the reign of Napoleon I Even in (treat Britain, a monarchy today. if Parliament should enact such laws her soil would i e flooded by the blood of the best citizens of her land, if they A'i ie not speedily wiped out. There is no land on earth where men

T. O. D.

\ are permitted to vote where such infamous legislation exists as in the United States. Whathae been done under the statutes? In 1876, when they wanted to defeat Tilden and wanted to carry the elections in these States, what did they do? In 1876, in New York City, for the purpose of electing representatives in Congress, in order to control the election, if carried into the House of Representatives 1,075 supervisors and 2.500 deputy marshals were appointed to stand over the ballot boxes, and arrest men and lock them up, in violation of the constitution of the United States, which says no man shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law—and for what? Just to elect Republican representatives in New York City. In 1878, when elections of members of Congress were ti De held, supervisors were appointed at a cost of $275,000. When this act was passed in 1871, it was said to be done to purify elections in the South, where rebels and crusaders prevented men from voting. Now, look at it. Of all this amount only $44,000 was used in the South, leaving $230,000 to be expended in electing Republican members of Congress in. six Northern States. - Almost $400,000 has been spent for this purpose, and how has the money been raised? By taxation.

NEN ARE ROBBED of the freedom of the ballot and robbed of their money to pay the bills. To do away with tiiis infamous state of tilings, the House and Senate, during the extra session, have spent their time and devoted their talents. The ablest men on the other side say representative elections are National elections, and the nation has a right to see them carried on honestly and fairly, and to this end the law pro vides that the circuit court may appoint marshals and deputy marshals. Members of Congress are chosen every two years by the people of the United States. Are the elections national? No. They are by the people of sovereign States. No sucli word as national is used in the constitution; no power is given to the National Government to control the elections in this or any other way. Powers not delegated to the general Government are reserved to the State. The step they take is in direct violation of the constitution—done for the purpose of controlling the people and comoelling the people, whether they will or no, to elect Republican members of Congress. Thank God, they have not prevailed; and, if we do our duty, these statutes will be wiped out, and, when thoy are no more, we shall re cur to them only to remoinber that they have been: and all history, with united voice, will utter its execration upoD the men who have enacted them. They talk about National elections.— They don’t want any States; they want to blot them out and have only National elections. In tne constitution of the United States the word “national” does not appear. The words "United States” appear many times, but no word “national.” This is a union of States and nothing else. As said by PresidentLincolu, “A Government of the people, for the people and by tae people.”

TIMELY WORDS.

In the House of R ?presentatives, on the 27th ult., a scene look place which is not likely to be soon forgotten by those who participated in it. The Republican conspirators put forth Mr. Gaifield to champion their views of government, and it is understood that he performed his task to their entire satisfaction. His views were more extreme than any that had been expressed in favor of centralization and a change in this form of government Garfield was replied to by Hon. Frank H. Hurd, of Ohio, and right royally did he respond to the patriotic sentiments of the country. He effectually demolished Garfield, and left him, as truth leaves error, withering amidst his worshipers. In closing hi i speech, Mr. Hurd said; Mr. Chairman, this extra session has made up the issue between the "two parties. The Democratic party declare that the army shall be kept from the poils; that jurists shall bo impartially drawn; that the test oath shall be repealed, and that the Federal authority shall not interfere with elections witiitn the States. Upon those questions the Republican party take issue with us. Confidently appealing only to the patriotism of the country the Democratic party goes into this contest. Never in all the history of this land have more importrut questions been submitted to the American people for their determination. They relate to the pure administration of justice; they concern the gravest questions of constitutional law: they affect the fundamental principles of civil liberty. Every man who runs for any office iu any State, and every citizen who goes to tiie polls to deposit his ballot, is interested. The whole method of ascertaining the popular will in the Republic is involved in the issue.

So far-reaching are these principles that if upon this issue the Republican party shall be successful, then all the power over elections in States would be drawn to the central Government. The States would lose their places in the federative system, and whether the army shall be used at the polls or not would be a question not of right and of constitutional law, but of executive discretion. Such a result means the end of. the Republic and the uplifting of tie empire. Can there be any doubt as to a controversy like this? In Russia, where absolute despotism silences individual ooiniou, it might be doubtful. In Germany, where imperial power sustains itself by an immense standing army, It might be doubtful. In France, where the people under monarchs and emperors for ages have slumbered, it might be doubtful. But here in free America, with the traditions of our British aucestors, and with the sacrifices and triumphs of our American forefathers in behalf of civil liberty, it can not be doubtful. [Applause.]— Shall civil liberty perish upon its own threshold and by its own fireside?— Shall the beacon-light which has shone from our shores for the encouragement of struggling freemen everywhere flicker in its socket and go out oven as they arc gazing upon it? Shall the sun of free government in this continent, ere it roaches the meridian, sink in the night? Shall the shadow and the cloud of the army darken our free fields and free rivers and free lakes and free prairies, and pollute the air so that a freeman cau not breathe it? The century of tri umph just ended protests; the bright prospects of our future protest; the hopes of ti e world protest; and what is pr e iealtv of more value, the Democratic: party, with its majority of halt a million or American people, protests. Gentlemen, the contest will soon begin Ay, it has already begun. I ; hear the whispering o: A merit , a in. -

quiry; I hear the mutterings of Anglo Saxon resolve; I hear the tread of the legions forming, with the banner of civil liberty above them. The contest has already begun; and God give victory to freedom and the right! [Loud applause.} It is reported that Mr. A. F. God-» dard, of Sacramento, California, is planning an excursion party of fifty or more observers, to be stationed along the route of the total eclipse of the sun in California, next January. The grandest point of view will be selected; and it is anticipated that much pleasure as well as scietific profit will result from the expedition. M. Ferdiand de Lt sseps, in a lecture at Amiens, stated that the first sod of the Panama Canal would be turned on January 1, 1880, and that with 40,000 navvies, including some Chinese and 15.000 Brazilian negroes, the work would be completed iu eight years. The new steamer Arizona, which passed Sandy Hook at half past five, June 17. arrived at Queenstown at 20 minutes past 7 the morning of June 25. The actual running time was 7 days 9 hours and 23 minutes, the fastest transatlantic trip on record. This is 1| hour less than the time of the Britannic, in Augttsl, 1877. A curious ancient Mexican library has been found in the ruins of a vast palace at XRyi, near Chiapas, in soutl - eru Mexico. The writings are inscribed on terra-cotta tablets half an inch shick, and are supposed to be saered records, but the language in winch they are written is not accurately known.—L. l A.'Commerciu].
