The Tennessee Legislature has passed a bill to fund its entire debt at par, in three per cent bonds. The New York Herald says: “Garfield may steer as he pleases; Blaine lias anchored the bow end of the canal boat.” *

On Monday last Bloomington, 111, for the first time in many years, gave a Democratic victory, and n btilimnt one at that. The ultimatum of the radical Senators is that “the Virginia debt repu diators must bo provided for it it takes all summer.’ The Auditor of State ou Tuesday last issued a warrant to Benton conn, ty to pay the expenses of the trial oi James L. McCollough, who was tried ib that county for the murder of WmC. Margrave. The amount paid was $973.70.

Senator Vest in a speech In the U. S. Senate recently, proved conclusively, and beyond contradiction, that the “truly loil” States of the Northwest had at one time Or another ie pudiated $100,000,009 of bonded indebtedness.

The Pennsylvania Senate, by a par. ty vote, passed a resolution to indorse the course of tho Republican senators in the dead-lock at Washington. An amendment offered by Senator Gordon, Domoerat, that the resolution should not be construed to indorse the bargain with Mahone, was voted down, also by a party vote.

How the little one horse Bourbon editors are worried over the “deadlock” of the U. S. Senate. If the republicans succed the solid South is brooken. Hence those tears.—Rensselaer Republican. With what contempt the little nonamateurical cuss of the Republican regards “the little one horse Bourbon editors.” But then his long service in the editorial harness, and the Influence of his journal fully entitle him to adopt the expression. However, neither the “deadlock” nor the •‘solid South” will be “biooken” while Mahone’s pets are the radical candidates for the offices of the Senate.— Mark that, thou sage of Gilboa!

The Old Name and the Old Organization.

The following, from the Den of an old time Democrat, we copy from the Kentlaud News. The'author is well known as a Christian gentleman, an old and honored citizen, and gives utterance to the sentiment of every true Democrat. He says: “In connection with other questions which have been submitted to the friends of the Democratic party is the following interrogative: “Would you favor a reorganization under any other name, as the Whig party was reorganized into the Republican?” So far as known, an emphatic negative has been the response; and thus it should be, unless it is the purpose of the party to abandon its principles. So long as it proves true to the Jeffersonian principles which it has al ways professed to maintain, there can be no reason for substituting another name. An alia3 is always suargestive of deception or dishonesty. It is not claimed for the Democr&tie party that it has never made mis takes, or that it has never strayed from the liue of political rectitude: but these deviations have been comparatively few. For more than a century it has fought its battles under the same banner and the same old name, and its achievements have been glorious. The name is all rightLet the party keep a vigilant eye to the land-marks of its organization and maintain a strict regard to its cardinalUprinciples. Itjshonld yield to no temporary tide of opinion under the delusive hope that by so doing it will secure success. Let it maintain with unflinching stability such measures as will promote the general prosper, ity of the country. Let fags and factions, bank rings, abominations and monopolies be consigned to the fostering care of the Redublican party, to which they rightfully belong. If the Democratic party desires to retain its pristine virtues it must be true to itself, to the country and to the interests of the common people.

It is a matter of fact, and of no slight insignificance, that the oppon ents of the Democratic party have been recognized under twenty-five different names, as the following list will show: /

In 1776, Tories. In 1780, Nova Scotia Cow-Boys. In 1787, Convention Monarchists. In 1789, Black Cockade-party. In 1808, Anti-Jeffersonian Impressment men. In I*ll, British Bank men. In 1812, Peace men. In 1813, Blue Lights. In 1814, Hartford Conventionists. In 1816, Washington Benevolent Society, In 1818, No Party Mon. In 1820, Federal Republicans* 1 1 1826, National Republicans.

In 1834, Anti-Masonic Whigs. In 1887, Conservatives. In 1838. Abolitionists. In 1840, Log Cabin. Hard Cider Democratic-Republican Whigs. In 1844, Anti-War Whigs. In 1848, Taylor Anti-Annexation Whigs. In 1850, Whigs. In 1852, Scott Anti War Whigs. In 1853, Maine-Law Whigs. In 1854, Know-Nothing*. In 1856, Republican Abolitionists.

In 1860, Republicans.

“Observer,” the Monon correspondent of the Monticello Herald, says: Although Bradford has enjoyed a period of existence of about 45 years, she has not made the strides in improvement and growth as some of her sister towns have done. Hence, her attractions are decidedly subordinate to those of Rensselaer and Monticelio. The desideratum apparently being so glaring, four of the Rensselaer lasses accompanied by one Noble (?) widower graced the village of Bradford Saturday, April 9, to compensate for the deficiency. Without any extrava gance, they wer« the most fascinating quintuple that ever perambulated the streets of Bradford. As they strolled along in as close proximity could well be maintained on the sidewalk) to the Noble gentleman in question, two swinging on his arms and the other two appearing to perform the same office to his coattail, the people turned out en masse to witness the attracting spectacle. Their loud, musical voices were heard in reference to every dilapidated building, with emphatic precision, and their sweet ha, ha’s and pretty little screams will be remembered and imitated for years to come. They tossed their tresses to the breeaes with supercilious hauteur. Everything proclaimed that they were from Rensselaer and had seen the ears; that “we are the people and wisdom resides with us;”that we can conduc* ourselves in an unbe coming and ridiculous manner before the scrutiny of any inhabitant of B. The idea of a young lady, just because she has ridden 16 miles from home to visit the lumber yard, in tho most conspiouous plase in town, to ha, ha, and have their escort to fix them boards and teeter up and down and falling off only to adjust herself squaw fashion in her anxiety to render herself noticeable I Gov. Porter, the national comptroler, gave us a much more agreeable visit. But then perhaps Gov. Porter was not as highly educated and hadn’t been as far from home as they have. At any rate he had never lived at Rensselaer. I’ll guarrantee they were so precocious when they were babes, they laughed about old times, and gave their parents some important facts in regard to deportment, Come again voungfolks, we arc glad to have such a distinguished crowd.

“Observer” seems to overflow with envy, malice and ill-will toward Bens, gtdaer, and the inhabitants thereof. Hereafter let our parties contemplating a visit to Bradford first take lessons in deportment from the chum and bosom companion of “Observer,” Got, Porter. The coresnondent says the Gov. never lived in Rensselaer! Very true; but he slipped into the

town on the 27th Sept, last to avoid a jont discussion with Frank Landers, the act adding nothing to his reputation for correct deportment. Let “Ooserver” continue to enjoy the companionship of his distinguished pard, and let our Nohle and the girls in the future conduct themielves in accordance with the rules established by Porter.

OLD-TIME:CAED PLAYLRS.

Prolonged Boats at Old Sledge Between “Difby” and the Late Jndgo Pettit, , (Lafayette Sunday Times.) In the early history of Lafayette card-playing was more than an amusement—with a good many it wee “business”. The founder of Lafayette, “Oid”Digby,was for vossnf years the most noted card player on the Wabash. There are many anecdotes of him that have been banded down and are worth preserving. If the old settlers are to be believed, “Old Dig” and the late Judge Pettit had many a lively time at the card-table. On one occasion the two sat down early in the foreuoon at their favorite game of “old sledge,” $5 a game. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Pettit was about S7O winner, he announced to Digby that he must quit. “What are you going to qnit for? inquired Digby. “I want to go and take care us my horse,” replied Pettit. In those days every lawyer kept a horse to ride the circuit. “I can go without my dinner,” continued Digby.Jg “But lam not goiDg to abuse my horse just to accommodate you at this game,” said Pettit as he retired with Digby’s S7O in his pocket. The next morning, bright and early, they were at it again. Digby had a big streak of luck, and before 12 o’clock had bagged $l2O of Pettit’s money. Raking from the table the last $lO put up, be announced to Pettit that he was going to quit. “What are you going to quit for?” inquired Pettit. “Why, I must go and feed my horse, John.” “Wny, you,” replied Pettit, “you hai en’t got any horse!” '‘Well, John, if I haven’t got any horse,” slapping his hands on his breeches pocket, “I’ve got the money to buy one!” The game was closed. Digby, who was a bachelor, had a small one-story frame house put up on Main street, close to where the canal now is, as* an office and sleeping apartment. After it was finished, but the plastering not sufficiently dry to be occnpied, Digby and Pettit sat down to play their favorite game of old sledge. Digby’s money was 30on exhausted and Pettit declared the game closed. Digby proposed one more game, staking his new house against a certain sum of money. The game was played, and Pettit was the winner. The next morning he made a bargain with a house-mover to remove the building to a lot be owned on the south side of Main stieet, a little east of the public square. The wooden wheels were putnnderit, and in the afternoon it was started up Main street with a long team of oxen before ii, and at dark had just reached the Public Sq aare. That night Digby and Pettit had another game, and in the morning there was a readjustment of the wheels, and the house was started on its return toward the river. 'lt reached its proper place in the street, and was left to be put back in its old position on the morrow. But the next morning it was staited up town again. The next day it took the other direction, and by this time the whole town came to-understand it. Finally it remained in the Public Square over Sunday, and on Monday continued its way jpMain street and was wheeled on Pettit’s lot. He soon moved his books into it, and for many years occupied it as a law office. In the early days on the Wabash nearly all the lawyers played poker. During Court week the time was about equally divided between trying cases, piayiDg poker wind attending horse races. It was no uncommon thing for Judge Porter—the first Circuit Judge, and, by the way, a Con necticut Yankee—to adjourn his Court to attend a horse-race. He was very fond of cards, but would enforce the law against gambling. And thus it once happened, as published in the Sunday Times, of February 6, that he was indicted along with several members of tho Bar, in the Tippecanoe Circuit Court,jfor The re cord shows that he plowed guilty, assessed the fine against himself, and paid it!

TIMOTHY.

The Siamese Twins Outdone.- - An Italian couple, Tocoi by name, are at present exhibiting at Vienna a, most remarkable specimen of their progeny, a pair of twins named Jacob and Baptiste. These boys are grown togethei from the sixth rib downward, have but one abdomen and two feet. The upper part of the body is completely developed in ea*b; their intellectual faculties are of a normal character. Each child thinks, speaks, sleeps, eats, and drinks independently of each other. This independence goes so far as to admit of an indisposition of the one without in the least affecting the other. They are over three years old, in perfect health, and seemingly in excellent spirits.

To Drink in Oregon.—To take a drink in Oregou costs a man so indulging $5. The rum is not worth that money, but the city requires a license costing that sum before a man oan get any bitters at any hotel or saloon. It is a penal offense for the proprietors of these establishments to sell to any person who is not armed with such license. Every six months the local papers publish the names of all who have applied for such documents, and the public thereby know who are the drinkers. One of the wonders of the American forests is the fir tree of Puget Sound. The trees average 200 feet high, and some specimens have been out that measured S2O feet in length and twelve feet in diameter at the base, with a straight and well proportioned log length of ninety feet to the first limb.

We copy ihe following from the “Western Spoatsman anc Live Stock News”: aOBSE BREEDING IN INDIANA-

The Best Always Pays.--The Blue Bull Famill

Indiana is rapidly becoming one of the leading states in the production of fine, horse stock. Enterprising business men in all directions -are taking an interest in breeding, and all classes are acquiring a taste for well bred animals. Among those who have recently embarked in this line is Mr. James H. McCollum, of Montioello. He is an enthusiastic admirer of light harness and general purpose harness, and has had the good judgment to start out in tho business 6t producing this kind of stock with an eye to quality rather than quantity. Local pride more than pecuniary gain, prompted him in the selection of stallions for public service, and farmers and breeders in his section of the state owe him a debt of gratitude for providing them with the means thro’ which they may in a few years make theiFs a horse market second to none.

At the head of his breeding establishment, Mr. McCollum has placed the splendid young stallion Dick Tuylor, sired by Wilson’s Blue Bull, dam Mollio Caldwell, by Red Oak, 2d dam by Gen. Taylor. Red Oak was got, by lion’s Cadmus; he by Cadmus, son of American Eclipse. Iron’s Cadmus got Blanco, the sire of Smuggler, recoid 2:155. General Taylor <by Kentucky Hunter), was the sire of the dam of Kate Bennett, record 2:29$ at four years old, and private trial in 2:10. Dick Taylor is a dark chestnut, with a small strip in the face, 15$ hands high, weighs 1200 pounds and is 8 years old this spring. He is a horse of great substance and bone, the best of feet and legs, powerful loin and .quarters, good style and as finely finished as a thoroughbred. He has a pacing record of 2:475, and with handling.would make one of the fastest at that gait. As a breeder he promises to be a grand success, his colts being large, goodlooking and fine gaited, and we are informed by a disinterested party that out of about 100 colts of hls> -there is not a single inferior or small one.— At Lewisville, where he was bred and raised by Mr. Caldwell, he left several colts that are not only large and fine* but promise to be fast trotters. Dick Taylor shou d command an immense business in Monticello and vicinity, as bis get are of a class that always find a ready market at remunerative prices. A horse from 15$ to 16 hands high, with good style and action, sound, of good disposition* and well bred, is as staple au article of merchandise as wheat and corn.— Buyers at $175 and S3OO need not be sought after—they aro always in search of this class of norstfk, and the demand is far in advance -of the supply. Farmers can not affobd to breed to a mongrel horse, even if they could procure his services free of charge. All of them will arrive at this conclusion if they will give the subject a moment.s thought, and right here we cannot refrain from mentioning two little transactions of last week, for their consideration:— Mr. Reedy, of Ottawa, Ills., and Mr. Lewark, of Indianapolis, each desiring an animal for road purposes, went to Rushville to procure them. Mr. Lewark purchased a three year old filly bv Jim Monroe for SSOO, and Mr. Reedy hought a three year old filly by Blue Bull, also for SSOO. Suoh transactions are of every day occurrence, and furnish sufficient evidenoe to convince any sane man that he onn only afford to breed to the bestIt cost no more to raise these two youngsters than to raisfe a common scrub, and while they found ready sale at SSOO each, a three year old got by a $2 stallion would go begging the market at SSO. We might multiply suck instances as the above and yet evidence is not nearly exhausted. In breeding to such a horse as Dick Taylor, there is a reasonable certain-' ty|of reaping a profit, and a probability of pioducing a fast trotter or road horse that will sell away up in the thousands. Such instances are not rare by any means, and as “like begets like or the like of an ancestor,” let us briefly glance at the performances and value of some of the members of the Blue Bull family, of which Dick Taylor is a worthy member; Bertie, record 2:27, sold for $7,500. Cbanee, 2:205, sold for SIO,OOO. Ella Wilson, 2:30, sold for $7,000. Silverton, 2:225, brought $6,000.

Elsie Good. 2:22*, and after winning a large amount of money, and being badly handled, brought $3,500. Will Cody, 2:19*, and his owner refused an offer of $9,000 for him. Richard. 2:21, and sold for SIO,OOO. * Kate Hall, 2:24*, and was a bargain at $5,000. Ethel, 2:2*, and an oiler es SIU,UOO was refused. Mila C., 2:26*. sold for SIO,OOO. Purity, 2:30, sold Tor $25,000. Dom Pedro, 2:27; Kate Bennett* 2:29*; Little Wonder, 5 year old, record 2:30; Molliw Kistler, 5 years old 2:28; Riissell, 2:26, etc. We might name fifty otheis tfcfat have trotted fast and sold for long prices, but this is enough to oonvince any unprejudiced man that in breeding to a fair representative of Blue Bull, one of the greatest sires that overlived; he can hardly fail to get a valuable colt, with a reasonable chance of “striking a big bonanza.” The stable companion of Diek Taylor, is the dark bay stallion Prince, a magnificent general purpose stallion, 6 years old this spring, very stylish* fine gaited, and weighs 1200 pounds. He was sired by the thoroughbred horse Nightshade, by Falcon, by Lexington : dam of Nigbt*had#, -Black' lark by imp. Leviathan, ete ; Falcon* dam Fannie G-, Margrave;

2d dam Miss Laneess by Lance, etc. Prince’s dam Dolly by Bed Oak; 2d dam bv Washington; 3d dam by Glencoe; 4th dam by Blackburn’s Whip; sth. dam said to be by Mam brino Chester. Prince is proving a splendid breeder, his young colts having the size and quality required in coachers and carriage horses. As an inducement to his neighbors to improve their stock, Mr. McCollum has placed the services of this highbred horse at 10 dollars to insure a colt.

“Sweet Curing Seeds” was the translation of the name given to Ayer’s Pills by the high mandarin of China, in his letter of acknowledgment and thanks to Dr. Ayer for having introduced them Into the Celestial Empire—a very appropriate name! They are sweet, they euro, and are, therefore, the most profitable “seeds” a sick man can invest in.
