“SFNT HIS PAGE LOGAN/ “(Persqzial/” Augusta, Me-, Oct. 4,1869. “Mi DearJSib— 1 spoke to you a short/ume ago about a point of interest to your railroad company that occurr ed at the las< session of Congress. “lt/was on the last night of when the bill renewing the land grant to the /State of Arkansas for the Lit tie Rock Hoad was reached, and Julian, of ndiana, Chairman of the Public Lands * ommittee, and, by right, entitled to the floor, attempted to put on the bill as an amendment the Fremont .El Paso scheme —a scheme probably wellknown to Mr. Caldwell. The House was thin, and the lobby in the Fremont interest had the thing all set up, and Julian’s amendment was likely to prevail if brought to a vote. Roots and other members from Arkansas, who weie doing their best for their own bill (to which there seemed to be no objection), were in despair, tor it was well known that the Senate was hostile to the Fremont scheme, and if the Arkansas bill had gone back to the Senate with Julian’s amendment, the whole thing would have gone on the table and slept the sleep of death. [“ n this dilemma Roots came to me to know what on earth he could do under the rules, for he said it was vital to his constituents that the bill should pass. I told him that Julian’s amendment was entirely out of order, because not germane; but he had not sufficient confidence in his own knowledge of the rules to make the point, but he said GeneraLLogan was opposed to the Fremont scheme, and would probably make the point. 1 sent my page to Gencneral Logan with the suggestion, and he at once made the point. 1 could not d© otherwise than sustain it, and so the bill was freed fr®m the mischievous amendment moved by Julian, ahd at once passed without objection. “At that time had never seen Mr. Caldwell, but you can .tell him that, without knowing it, 1 did him aigreat favor. Sincerely yours, J. G. Blaine. W. Fisher, Jr., Esq.. 24 India street, Boston.’' These letters .defeated him for the Republican nomination in 1876 and in 1880, and would have also defeated him this year if the wost element of his party had not got control of tlie convention. This is the reason that the best element of the Republican parV has bolted his nomination.

Governor Cleveland’s Letter.

FroHirtheOevelaad Plain Dealer, Aug. 20th. Governor Cleveland does not waste many words in saying wh&t he has to say. His lelterls a plain, business-dike document, saying exactly what needed to be siafi and no more- It is a practical letter dealing with real issues in a plain, practical way, and no attempt Is made to fccf- og and cover up the issues of the campaign with the multitude of words. The Governor stands upon the Democratic national platform, and does not consider that so plain a declaration of faith as that is needs any explanation. If elected President he will see that the laws enacted are enforced and the policy of the paity carried out. The indefinite rule of one party does not constitute ■& government of the people. Presidents, in Governor (Cleveland’s opinion should hold office but one term, in order that the purest administruion may be secured. The Governor’s sentiments on the labor question are eouod and admirably expressed. ‘Contented labor,’ he says, *IB an element of national prosperity ’ Working men should receive a full share of the law-tanking attention, and their interests should be carefully guarded- The laboring classes should bo protected in thei r/efforts to secure by lawful means their just rights and agaist the oppression of aggregated italTbe government should do what it can to foster commerce. Fitness alone should be the qualification for office. Government should be administered in an honest, simple, plain manner, and there shoutd be honesty and frugality in all departments of the government. Governor Cleveland’s letter will be read with interest and will command universal admiration for its plain, practical utterances in contradiction to the windy demagogism of Blaire and Butler.

Hendricks’ Letter of Acceptance.

From the New York Dally News, Aug. 21»t. Mr. C eveland made a palpable hit in taklna the ground that it did not properly c<>me within the sphere of a candi dat< for the Presidency, a purely executive office, to enter into a formal discussion <>f questions to be disposed of by tbe

legislative branch of government. Mr. Hendricks, no doubt, entertains a similar theory, supplemented by the doctrine that there is still less occasion on the part of the Vice-Presidential than on the part of the Presidential candidate to bore the people with long winded essays concerning each and every one of the planks constituting the partisan platform onsbich they stand. It was not even neces-ary for Mr. Hendricks to remind his fellow-country-men that his candidacy is directly identified with the popular obligation to re dress the infamous wiong done to the elective franchise and the honor and dignity of the Republic, by the conspiracy and frauds that defeated the will of the people as expressed in the election of 1876. It is to be assumed that tbe Democracy and all honest and patriotic American citizens will know their cue upon that point without a prompter.

Blaine and his Personal Honor.

Missouri Rebublican: Mr. Blaine has directed that a suit for libel be instituted against tbe editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel for the publication of an article charging certain immoral acts committed in his earlier life. An action for lioel is a tedious method of vindicating personal honor, particularly in’this ease, as the November election must be an event of the past before the facts can he developed by a jncicial iu. quiry. To commence such a proceeding, however, with a grand flourish oi trumpets, respecting his personal bouoand his willingness to defend it with his life, isentirely in keeping with Blaine's methods and ideas. \Hetealways ready with a-dedaration anda volley of words, and can strike au attitude of indignant surprise with great effect and impressiveness. >His whole career is a glittering sham with nothing in it of substantial performance, but with sensational effort to attract public notice and to win a reputation by partisan aggressiveness. We know nothing as to this story of his domestic immorality—it may be of the same stripe with the foolish slander put in circulation about Cleveland—but we do know that a suit for libel is a very tame aud ineffective ■ mode of meeting the allegations. He has a .right to encounter a serious charge in any way.that suits his taste, but it : .s too late for him to effect any extraordinary sensitiveness as to his personal honor. Within the lines of his own party and outside of them tbe grayest kind of.charges respecting his personal honor and official integrity have been' made repeatedly, many of hich are matters of documentary evidence, and ‘ he has.-submitted to the shame without any great show of righteous indignation.' He has the prize of his ambition —he is tire nominee of bis party for the. highest-office in the Government, and yet there is coupled with his success the proof of his dishonor. It is the record of his acts that now threatens him with defeat, ilt .is this that has put him on, the defense from the outset, that hasdriven mar y of the liest men of hie party into political inactivity in this campaign or into coalition with Democracy. His honor toward his t mily, for aught we know, may be im. iculate, but his honor as acitizen aud tfleial is fatally marred aad beyond th hope of vindication. i

One Term only.

A JACKSONIAN BEMKDY FOR EVILS beSEMdteO .-MODERN .I’iLTTICSFromhbs N. Y. Timet*, Pep. Ang. 21. » * * A man in ott.ee has had an enormous advantage in securing a renomination and great power in effecting the results of elections, and a party in power has made its dislodgement a difficulty almost amounting to revolution. Even now it is assumed by political managers that it. is the duty of the Ad* ministration<to,do something to aid the election of one.of the candidates presented for the people’s choice, and subordinates in the senyice are still expected to contribute froan their earnings to promote this object. Mr. Cleveland does well to give this matter so much prominence, for the remedy of the «vil is essential to the vindication of the,principle of,government by the people In regard to the remedy his suggestions are (dear and practical. In the first place, the President should be disqualified for<re-elec-ticn This would remove from him all temptation to use the power intrusted to nim for the benefit of the whole people to promote his own succession in officeThen the selection and retention of sub’ -ordinates in Government employ should depend upon their .ascertained fttaess and the value of their work ’ When this is fully provided -for in an established civil sei vice system it will become impractieahl*-* .<> use appointments to .reward party services, and the power <et politicians in and out of office to control the action of tlw people instead of submitting to it will be brokenMr, Cleveland's suggestions In regard to this matter carry a weight and significance rarely credited to political utterance, because his own conduct has always been fullv in aceord with them, and we-have every reason far/confidence that he would d<> all in hi power as the head.of the National Administration to give them eflect. He has never sought anyof the nominations which bavecome to him, and has never permitted or encouraged any one to work for them in his behalf. £Le has declared that it was the business of the people to make notoinations, and every effort to secure his nomination dor office has come from the people and those representing them.

How Hawley Failed to Answer Sehurz.

From the N. Y. Herald, Aug, 2M. Blaine Republicans in Brooklyn ha-ve been in mourning for two or three weeks because apparently -unable to find any one who would attempt to explain away Mr. Schruz’s reeeur indictment ol Blaine. Last night-ficy took the entpe off their hats on Hie h— tiranc-’ Unit Gmeral Hawley would neutralize the effect of Mr. .Schurz’s statement. The orator of the evening talked nearly two hours about the tariff’, and then, in the course of less than five minutes, devoted simple denials, m Blaine’s favor, that any schoolboy might have spoken, was obliged to admit that ‘iris true that he (BlaineJ wrote to Mr. Fisher that he had made a decision interesting to his road. Now, I wish he hadn’t said that. It would have been better if he hadn’t connected his private business with his public business The Deinoci at s. ought to pay General Hawley handsomely to repeat this “defence” from the slump. every night during the campaign.

Crime Against Commerce.

The Ur ited Htates Treasury proved by its June Statement, now out, that since the first of Deceraoer, 1883, there has been a decrease of the currency of the country that amounts to $32, f| OO,OOO. The scarcity of currency caused by the decrease of Nat.onai bunk circulation has induced people to bring forward within seven months $ 2.249,u2C of gold in coin or bullion, deposit the s me with the Governpic-nt. and take out gold certificates there**!, which they use temporari’y as i urrency. Within a year •he exportation of gold from this country has exceeded the im portation of gold by $33,404.32®, and the production of gold from the mines of this country has fallen off >12,000,000 within a year, consequent upon inability of miners—such has been the scarcity <»f money—to op< n new mines or supply woiks with machinery after they bad parted with their previously <> tained gold for other property. This shortening in volumne of money is one result of Republican legislation.

“Ought to be Worth a Dollar.”

Two days ago, a middle-aged man, of the shabby genteel older, with little bags of indication under his eye,came softly into the office and said he wished a private interview with the editor. He was shown into the inner room and said“I have an item here that is not yet known—an unearthed matter that will oe a holy deudener on Blaine, if you wish to publish it. I know the parties—have known them for years, and can vouch for the truth of the statement. It will knock him clear out, so tar as the moral vote is concerned ; but as a general thing editers are afraid to publish such facts.” “What do you ask for the information ?” “It is all written out, and I ought to have >IOO lor it.; but as I cannot beat tbe idea of Biaine’s election, I will almost give it away. It ought to be worm one dollar at least.” •‘Well, let’s see it? If it is something that can be used we will buy it.” “Thank you. Here it is.” “It is a well--known fact., but nearly forgotten, that Governor Cleveland Iras five illegitimate children, by the first woman he ruined, when she was attending school at Albany, and two b the last woman he rained, a Widow client, from whom he stole aluios her entire fortune. Full p irtieulars will be given before the campaign closes, with names and dates.” ‘But that is not agains Blaine —that is a charge against Cleveland.” “Why, dear me! so it 1«. That was intended for the Buffalo Express. Here is the one,meant for you.” “It is now thirty years since Blaine seduced and ruined his wife’s sister and two of her cousins, and broke up three of the happiest tama'ies In Ne.v England. By one of the women he had three illegitimate sons and two daughter, all of whom are a work in factories at Auburn. The facts of the case are hurrible, and but for fils wealthy and lavish use thereof in buying off editors, this matter would have bedn made public years ago. ” u vVe don’t want such t; lent as that.” “WeH, can you tell «ne when the Na ttonabOommiUee meets*” ■‘Which one?” ‘Either of them.’

Camphor Drops a Cure.

The follow in <r simnle remedy was issued liu handbill form by the Hibernia Printing Office, Diblin, Ireland, during the eevere visitation of the cholera li. 1336, and the means of saving thousands of lives. It was also used with valuable effect i4i 1848. and I would advise its use again should the epidemic visit our shores. In any case, however, no harm could be done by having it un the house during the com ng warm months. ‘Dissol ve one ounce of camphor in six ounces ot spirits of wine and give a small bottle of it to any intelligent per* son in your neighborhood who will undertake to administer it to his poor neighbors when they are seized with cholera or any of its symptoms, without deviating in the slightest degree from the following instruction. ‘When any person is seized with tbe symptoms of cholera, such as vomiting, purging, sudded weakness, coldness, cramps or spasms, do not give them brandy or whisky or any kiud of medicine whatever, but put them to bed at once, covering them warmly, but not overloading them with bed clothes, and as soon as you posiblycan let the patient take two drops (not more) of the camphor mixture on a little pounded sugar in a spoonful of cold or iced water. In five minutes after let him take a second dose of two drops in the same way. and in five minutes m re repeat the same thing. He is. then to wait ten or fifteen minutes to s :e whether or not there is a sense of returning warmth, with a disposition towards perspiration ana manifest decrease of sic ness, eramps, etc., etc., when, if neciesary be must take two drops: as before, and repeat the dose every five minutes until twelve or fifteen drops have been taken, la administering this remedy you must particularly observe that a. the patient takes anything of any sort or kind, ex-cept-cold or iced w ater, while the medicine is intended to operate, its whole efieet will be destroyed, for the least foreign meaicine neutralizes the camphor, which is given to check vomiting and to produce a free, warm perspiration. The use of cold or iced water is given on ad vice of the late celebrated and successful Dr. Piddock, of London, who always allowed his patients to drink cold or iced water, as it tends to promote tree perspiration, and also the abundant discharge of yellow bile.” The patient must not be allowed to rise and expose him or herself to the slightest degree of cold, and should nor be tonnented with baths, steamings or rubbing of any kind. but permitted to lie still, a« he will fail asleep when perspiration comes on, and after s me Amur* will, wiii f God's assistance, awake w,ell, '.hough weak ami languid and perhaps a little feverish, in which case he may get a dose, say a teaspoonful of Gregory’s powder or rhubarb and mag» nes;a, with a little peppermint water or weak sal volatile and water to waen it down, but must be kept quiet, taking only alittlesoup, broth, or gruel for a day or two Lord Pbusonby, writing to his brother, the Bishop of Derry, stated that to his own knowledge these camphor drops had proved to be a certain cure for cholera, both m France and Germahv, whenever taken in time, and the cure is generally effected before it is possible to procure a physiejau—that is, in less than Bn hour.—N- Y herald.

Potato Ckoqve ptes.—Take si® boiled potatoes, pass them through ® serve, add to them three table-spoonful® of ham chopped finely, salt, pepper an® chopped parsley to taste. Work int® this mixture the yelks of three or fou® eggs, fashioned into balls, roll them i® bread crumbs and fry in hot lard. ! Brown Bread.—Sift together on® pint of corn meal, one pint of rye flour! one table-spoonful of brown sugar, on® teaspoonful of salt and two i>f baking® powder. Rub into the mixture on® table-spoonful of lard and add three! fourths of a pint of milk. Mix into ® batter-like cake and bake one hour! Protect it with brown paper if itshoul® brown too fast at first. I Butter Rolls.—One quart of flour! half-teaspoon of salt, two tcaspoonful® of baking powder, one egg, one pint o® milk, one table-spoonful of latd. Siffl the flour, salt and baking powder to® gethdr, rub in the lard cold, then ad® the egg and milk, mix as soft as dossx-I ble. Roll it out one-half inch in thick! ness and cut with a plain round biseuil cutter. Dip them in melted butter! fold one-third of each piece over tha remainder and bake in a quick oven foil fifteen minutes.

When properly prepared an invalid can eat it without injury. Jelly Cheese.—Two sets of pigs’ feet put into hot, salted water, sufficient to cover them; boil slowly until the meat falls from the bone.

This dough, if properly made, will be stiff enough to make rolls about the size of a lady’s finger; it will spread when in the oven so that it will be of the right size and shape. If you wish them to be especially inviting, dip them in chocolate icing after they are baked. Take pains to see that the icing is so hard that it will not run, and set the cakes on a platter in a cool room until the icing is firm.

Free Liquor.

“Pm out getting opinions on liquor selling,” said a sharp reporter to a saloonist. “Are you in favor of free liquors ?” “Well, I should smile,” answered the barkeeper. “I think this country is the home of liberty, and I believe every man should have a right to drink what he pleases, and where he pleases, absolutely free, and all legislation to the contrary is sumptuary and therefore unconstitutional. ” “You want to be so recorded?” “You bet your sweet life.” “All right; now I’ll take a glass of champagne; that kind you sell at 25 cents. ” It was set out for him, and he poured it down and poured another in on top of it and started off. “Hold on,” said the bartender, “you owe me half a dollar.” “No, I don’t; didn’t you just say you believed in free liquor, and that' anything to the contrary is sumptuary and unconstitutional? If there’s anything I do like to see it is a man who lives up to his principles,” and he walked out, wiping his mouth on his coat sleeve, and leaving the saloon man to study up the law points of the case.
