The coup de Maine—wait a few days. he rhila(W>feia Press says if Grant should be ^kned he'would astonish the world By the policy of his administration. No doubt. He did it before. But we don’t wapt two such “astonishers” i» one generation. • There appears to be a great number of good letter writers “down in Maine.” White, the accused briber, writes as forcibly as Carlyle, while the mellifluence of Chamberlain’s style would soothe the sav- * age breast. Tjie dipplayof militia at the inauguration of Governor Foster, of Ohio, was the finest ever seen in the state. The display in Maine awaiting the inauguration of governor there is not so fine, perhaps, but it is full of business. In the expressions of preferences for presidential candidates, everywhere it is noticeable that among the business men and those most directly interested in the prosperity of the country, and contributing most to it, Sherman is the choice nine times out of ten. The republican committee of Beaver county, Pennsylvania, has started the Grant boom by electing its delegates to the state convention, which is t« choose delegates to the national conventionBoth the delegates chosen had Cameron rings in their noses. i, In 1875-6 republican conventions in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Iowa, and it may be other states, were outspoken in their opposition to a third term, the state which is expected now to “boom” first for it, Pennsylvania, being especially forceful in its allusions to the “unwritten law.’’ There is much truth in this, from the Christian Union: “Whenever in this country any considerable number of voters are more anxious for a party triumph than for a fair execution of the will of the people, the nation will be in a danger compared with which that involved in the civil war was light ” We wonder that the fusionists have been countenanc-, ed to the extent they have by the people of Maine. It is a grand thing for the people to do right. Georoia has a state law prohibiting the sale of the scrofulous sheets which act as scavengers, and dish up weekly all the filth afloat, with scandalous illustrations. Capada has a similar law, and our postoffice refuses to carry them for Canadian delivery. Could not Indiana profitably follow the example of Canada and Georgia? It might not be able to extirpate this abominable evil, but it could measurably check it, and thus save thousands from the contamination of this flood of vice, which is insidiously undermining character, and week after week educating the youth into had men and women. The raid on the government printing office began again yesterday, by a bill changing the office to that of congressional printer, to be filled by election by that body. As the New York Sun said with its customary directness the other day, this is nothing more nor less than a steal, an attempt at one enormous grab of patronage. -There is nothing alleged against Public Printer Defrees. His record tinder Lincoln and under Hayes shows him to be one of the most efficient and able officers the government ever had. But the place he occupies affords to scoundrels such an unlimited chsnceio filch, that the wicked will not rest till thay -get a hold upon it. Wilkesbabbe, Pennsylvania, is con^Ised with indignation because the governor appointed a democrat to fill a vacancy in the bench of Luzerne county, caused by the resignation of one of the judges. There is every tribute to the ap-

, .-■■■I. I I! ■ f l. ■ ——I,! polntee’s character as an able and apright judge and a pure man, • but there was a republican applicant for the place, nnd the republicans are howling “blood” in two syllables, and declare that the governor is no longer a republican with two or three “r’s.” They have torn down some lithographs of him and held an indignation meeting, and altogether conducted themselves like a pack of idiots, affording another example of the baneful infiuence of party spirit. It is reported that the democracy in corgress are sadly put to it for an issue. The cry of “troops at the polls” they agree is a failure. A uuion upon finance is said to be hopeless, such men as Bayard and Voorhees being as much opposed as the poles on this subject. Randall suggests “retrenchment” as the battle cry, and Wallace, of Pennsylvania, agrees with him. They both know from experience that people “tumble to” figures quickly, and a demonstration of dollars saved is very soothing. They cite the fact that Tilden carried New York, N6w Jersey and .Indiana upon this issue, and think they will try it again. If this fails they might set up the “fraud” cry, basing it on the fact that a military usurper and there wicked republicans took the state of Maine away from them^ after they had captured it iu the most approved fashion. The union pork butchers in Chicago are proving able architects of their own ruin in attempting to enforce the position they took in “striking” by assaulting the men engaged to work in their stead. There is less chance for success in this country for that kind of business than in any perhaps within the pale of civilization. In other countries employers are of, and are identified with, the ruling class to a large extent and employes are rffostly of the ruled class. A strike under such conditions necessarily partakes something of the character of a class revolt, which may be backed by the cry of oppression, real o r simulated. With us no such condition prevails. The employer to-day may be tke employe to-morrow. Wealth shifts rapidly. All are equal before the law. Fair play becomes a rule of action no man or set of men can afford to depart from, for there are no privileges here. The Chicago pork butchers who are attempting to keep men from working, are conceding the right to be kept from work themselves by the same means.

Joshua L. Chamberlain, of Maine, is proceeding with a coolness and circumspection to be expected from him by who know him. He has in a great degree what the Englishman strives for as a token of quality—repose. He is suave, easy, never losesjiis equipoise, and withal conveys the impression of having a reserve fpree adequate to any occasion he may be called upon to take parkin. Thus far* he has shown himself equal to the demand?, and has made the most damaging onslaught upon the bogus legislators of any < one, nd at the same time has left himself exposed at fewer points. It may be disputed that he has the right to hold “the public property and institutions” against the “duly qualified” successor of Garcelon. He himself no doubt would readily concede the point, and then ask, as he has asked Lamson, “Who is this successor?” Not every body who says he is, surely. On the contrary only life who is “duly qualified.” “That is I,” says Lamson. “That may be,” says “Josh,” “but there are grave doubts of it and such as only the judiciary can settle. I represent merely the military and am here by virtue of an order from Governor Garcelon to protect the public property and institutions until bis successor is duly qualified. "Whatever the court says, I will do.” And he backs up talk of this sort by a declaration of which nobody doubts the truth that he will “hold the fort” on this position “till the last day in the morning.” The fusio*ist« are fairly outgeneraled. What can they do but lay their claims before the highest judicial authority? Nothing. They are driven to it. It will be observed that Chamberlain has not “recognized” the republican legislature or « treated them in ijny wise different from the manner in which he has treated the fusionists. He has allowed both access to the halls, and has simply charged himself with keeping the peace and retaining the public property and institutions until the court directs him whom to deliver them to.

Brien, of Philadelphia, who knocked n man down on the streets of that city and robbed him, ea'ly Friday morning. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to a fine of $1,000 and 10 year? in the solitary prison by noon of the same day. The Cincinnati Gazette’s canvass of republican opinion in Ohio, shows Sherman far in the lead, and “going easy under a strong pqil.” Grant is “nowhere.” Few are for him, and nearly every one who is for some one else tells why he is opposed to Grant. St. Louis has one man #rho is taxed as a millionaire. Five who are taxed as halfmillionaires, or $500,000, seventeen who confess to $250,000, and the rest of her three or fonr hundred thousand ranging from $100 down to ten cents. Dr. Montcalm, of New Jersey, is an enthusiast on the diamond manufacturing business. He believes in it. He asserts further that he has invented a process by which coal better than that taken from the mines can be made 90 per cent cheaper than it can be dug. Furthermore, one of the products of his crucibles is tin—tin as good as the best

Banca and at half its cost When a man’s “got the tin” he is generally supposed to be happy. We hope the Jersey doctor is. A letter from Cantral Illinois says'the snn hasn’t shone there for an-hour in two weeks, and that-the mud is now worked up into a mortar stiff and deep, impeding travel and putting a stop to business in the country towns. Procter says the world is drying. Procter ought to wade out west once and see how he’d be deluged with shame at such a prediction. The fact that the greenback was “legaltender” did not help it to pat with gold. It fluctuated just like any other rag. Sherman pushed on the preperations for resumption and resumed according to law. All at once the same old greenback became good for duties, bond interest and all things. The legal-tender quality of the greenback had nothing to do with this. The magic was in the policy of resumption. It so appears that the legal-tender quality is of no account —that the main thing is resumption, and that if we would prosper we must preserve the conditions of resumption. The secretary of the treasury ha- proposed that the quality which characterizes the greenback as war paper and is an anomaly, shall be removed, and that the paper, which would then be a treasury note, "should be receivable for alldues. The suggestion is plain, straightforward business—full of sense—and therefore disturbs the lunatics and idiots who have for some years been making finance their specialty.—[Cincinnati Commercial, An e-minent"lawyer advised a law student that he ought to make it a rule of his profeseional life to never try a case without first understanding his own side and then that of his adversary. This was good advice, and republicans in nominating a candidate for the presidency should follow it, in so far as to ask themselves what the democratic party could fairly bring against their candidate. Gush is good in the right place and at the ri^ht time, but it is not good in either quantity or time if it is suffered to becloud that clear judgment which is necessary to avoid mistakes.—[Cincinnati Gazette. Hr. Hayes’s intimate assoaiates are neither herse jockeys nor internal revenue, defrauders, and the members of his cabinet are men of honor. Of ceurse it is duller in a Quaker meetiag than it is in a concert dhre, but the air is healthier aad the morality purer. It has been said that the nation which is without a history is a happy nation. Perhaps it can be said of an administration ia time of peace, which is neither noisy nor showy, that it governs well and purely. We do not think it will be denied but that the moral atmosphere is purer ia Washington in 1880 than it was in 187G, nor asserted that the country is less prosperous because no dangers threaten its peace.—[N. Y. Sunday Dispatch.

RECONSTRUCTION. Gen. Grant Thinks n Grave Mistake has Iteeu Made. [John Russell Young’s book.] •‘Looking back,” said the general, “over the whole policy of reconstruction, it seems to me that the wisest tuinrr would have been to have continued the military rule. Sensible southern men see now that there was no government so frugal, sojustaad fair as what they had under our generals. That would have enabled the southern people to pull themselves together and repair material losses. As to depriving them, even for a time, of suffrage, that was our right as a conqueror, and it was a rhild penalty for the stupendous crime of treason. Military rule would have been just to all, to the negro who wanted freedom, to the white man who" wanted protection, and the northern man who wanted union. As state after state showed a willingness to come into the union, not upon their own terms but upon ours, I would Lave admitted them. This would have made universal suffrage unnecessary, and I think a mislake was made about suffrage. It was unjust to the negro to throw upon him the responsibilities of citizenship and exj ect him to be on even term with his white neighbor. It was unjust to the north. In giving the south negro suffrage, we have given the old slave holders forty votes in the electoral college. They keep these votes, but disfranchise the negroes. “That is one of thf jgrav‘--st mistakes in the policy of reconstruction. It looks like a political triumph for the south, but it is uot. The southern people have nothing to dread more than the political triumph of the men who led them into secession. That triumph was fatal to them in 18G0. It would be no loss now. The trouble about military rule in the soujb was that our people did not like it. It was not in accordance with our institutions. I am dear now that it would have been better for the north to have postponed suffrage,” reconstrnction, state governments, for ter. years and held the south iu a territorial condition. It was due to the north that the men who had made war upon us should be powerless in a political sense forever. It would have avoided the scandals of the state governments, saved money, and enabled the northern merchants, farmers and laboring men to reorganize society in the south. But wc made our scheme, and must do what we can with it. Suffrage once given can never be taken away, and all that remains for us now is to make good that gift by protecting those who have received it.”

Independence In Parties. [Cincinnati Timea.l If all fair-minded men can not be depended upon to rebuke party injustice, there are some who can be, The growth of the spirit of party insubordination is one to be encouraged. By the vast majority party lines and party ties are closely observed. Party allcgiatce by the great mass of men is regarded as a patriotic duty, and men vote for iheir re?T>ective sides with a conviction that they are doing the very best thing for the good of the republic. But there is a growing class who beljev^ that neither party can be entirely trusted, and also that the rule of neither can b« ruinous. They are willing to take the responsibility of voting with either party against either, as occasion may demand. That this independent party should grow is for the best good of all. Its existence brings directly home to the politicians the knowledge that they can not count on the,votes of all those who would naturally net with them: it puts them on their good behavior; it tends to make them careful in what they do; it makes them feel a sense of responsibility. We believe in parties, and in the independent party—or/ather the independent spirit—quite as strongly as in the others.

I'reie-Orban’s Love Making. Frere-Orban, the Belgian prime minister, while a poor law student fell in love with the daughter of a rich, aristocratic family named Orban. The girl returned his love,'but her parents refused to encourage it. As the day for his examination drew near she said to him: “If you succeed, come in the evening to the box at the opera in which I shall be with my parents and some of their friends.” “But will they admit me?” asked the poor student. “I will take care of that,” replied the girL Frere passed the examination with great credit, and presented himself at the box. His sweetheart rose as he entered, and kissed him ia the presence of the whole company. After that there was nothing for the parents to do but to announce an engagement between them. When the marriace took place he added, by their request, their aristocratic name to his more plebeian one.

Practical Philoaophy. [Lime City News.] We are all a set of chronic grumblers, and don’t deserve half the blessings we enjoy. If it’s muddy we are mad, when it is cold we grumble, and so it goes from morning till. night, from one day to another, and thus months and year# speed swiftly by; when old age rivets his chain upon us we pause to reflect upon the situation. It is then we realize the fact that we hare been ungrateful to an ever kind providence who has guided us through the entire journey of life. Then we hear the many regrets: “If I could only live my life over again,” etc. We have but one life to live on this earth; then why not make it one of sunshine instead of dark overshadowing clouds?

STATE NEWS. Alva Livingston, who lives near Dayton, Tippecanoe county, was fatally injured by a falling limb while felling a tree. During the absence of James Lucas and his family from their residence in Sullivan, burglars came and removed everything out of the house and disposed of it. A German named Mehl, who resides four miles southiof Brownstown, was kicked by a horse as he passed through the the barn lot and was almost instantly killed. On Tuesday, a young man named James McLin was drowned in White river, two miles below Edwardsport. He was boatriding and accidentally fell out. Major Green, residing near Poplar Station, a few miles south of Seymour, was found near his residence, dead. He had evidently been frozen to death while intoxicated. Hon. John -G. Crain, of Terre Haute, a leading member of the republican party, and a candidate for congress, was stricken with paralysis jeaterday. His recovery is considered boneless. The democracy of Owen connty at a mass meeting held recently, adopted a" resolution ratifying the official actions of Hons. B. Schweitzer and I. H. Fowler, the representative and senator. Walt Scholler and Ira Brown, aged 18 and 16, while skating at the masque ball, at Kiinlurg, the other evening met with severe accidents, Brown receiving a broken arm and Scholler a diilocated ankle. Farmers in the vicinity of Logansnort report that never before to their recollection did wheat look so favorable at this season of the year as is the case now. The outlook for a good crop is very encouraging. Notre Dame barely escaped another singeing Monday night. A fire broke out in the attic of the infirmary, but was discovered by a student, and extinguished before much damage was dene. Had it occurred at a later hour a disastrous conflagration could scarcely have been avoided. Fant and Riley, who have been spying out sequestered taxes, have added about $2,000 back taxes to the Floyd county duplicate and fully that amount to* the New Albany city duplicate. They have sent out notices to a number of the parties owing back taxes, many of whom have settled. The nineteen year old son of John Harrell, who lives near Downey ville, Decatur county, has just died with what is termed by the neighbors the black plague, but called by the physician the old fa.-hioued Ayphoid fever. This is the third victim from the family of Mr. Harrell, and a little girl is now very low with the disease. The neighbors are much alarmed and intense excitement exists in the community. Like the others, who have died, young Harrell’s teeth, tongue, lips and mouth turned black at death. During a heavy fog, a collision occurred cn the.Ohio river bridge, at Jeffersonville, damaging a locomotive aad coach badly. The bridge freight was backing over the bridge when the engineer discovered the New Albany and Jeffersonville train coming toward the bridge from the Fourteenth street depot The engine of the freight train was suddenly stopped, causing the train to break iu two. The "freight cars went down the incline rapidly, striking the passenger donkey with such force that it was jammed against the forward coach, breaking the platform. The tender of the locomotive was broken and the pilot knocked into pi. No’one injured. The Greensburg woolen mills, a part of the estate of the late Arthur Hutchinson, have been sold to a company consisting of the following well-known capitalists: Louis Stix, of Cincinnati, and James Hart, Joseph Pool, A. Reiter and Ezra Lathrop, of Greensburg. They have adopted the name of the Greensburg woolen manufacturing company, with a* capital stock of SLI.OOO, ail of which has been paid up. An immense amount of new machinery will be purchased and set up. A large number of skillfnl workmen will be employed, and it is the intention of tho company to manufacture woolen goods that will rival the famous eastern mahufactorifcs.

, MAKING VACCINE .MATTER, A Yi*it to the Jenncr Vaeeln® Farm—The Frocest* of Manufacture. [Cbambersburg Correspondence FhTadelpMa Star.i This is the “Jenner Vaccine farm;"’It is naintd after the original discoverer of the virtue of cow-f»ox as a preventive of smallpox. The “farm” is situated about half a mile from this town, and is under the control of two of Cbambersburg’tj best physicians, Dre. Suesserott and Merklein. Two substantial buildings are erected on it, in one of which is the main or operating room, into which the visitor is first shown. The animals used are heifers between six and eighteen months of age; they are hired from the neighboring farmers, and are kept long enough to ascertain their state of health before they are vaccinated. The operating room is heated and supplied with hot and cold water. On one side of the apartment is a platform six by live, one side of which is securely hinged to the wail, the other raised and lowered by a pulley. This platform is about three feet from the floor, and when the free end is lowered it makes a gentle incline. The heifer-is brought from the stable and tipped over on this inclined plane, which is then drawn to a horizontal position by moans of the pulley. A strap is drawn 'around the creature’s bodyand her hinder feetare strapped to what, is now a table. The upper limbs are secured to a frame about two feet above, and with head held down aud tail tied up she is ready for operation. Theee two platforms are well padded aud everywhere soft and comfortable, for the auimai is obliged to retain its reclining posture for from one to two hours. The fleshy part of the inside of the thigh is deprived of hair by means of scissors and razor, care being taken not to cut the skin. It is then vaccina’ed in from ten to fifteen places, in the usual manner, except that a double or triple charge is inserted to insure success. The animal is then released, and at a period of from live to eight days the cruets are removed and tho virus secured. The quills are goose-quills imported from England. They are boiled, cut into lengths, cleaned and then a portion is filled. The filled end is twirled around in the lymph and left to dry, when a second dipping is made, and when dry a third charge is given. When they dry the third time they are ready for use. In packing, each quill is covered with tissue paper, then with oiled paper to exclade dampness, and, thirdly, with tin-foil. They are then put. in boxes of twenty-five and fifty. Each crust supplies about fifteen quills and the aqimals average about twelve crusts; so that every two or three hours one hundred and eighty quills are thrown on the market. In spije of this, and the fact that they work day and night, the proprietors have been compelled to double their apparatus aud workmen. This was chiefly owing to a large order from the board of health of Washington, D. C.

Garfield as a Scholar. [Chicago Tribune.] It is said that General Garfield’s scholastic attainments fit him for the head of the list of men of literary repute in the senate, and that he will be the best scholar in the body when he takes bis seat there. The closest student of our day in the senate was the late Charles Sumner; and if his mantle has fallen upon General Garfield's shoulders, it will be worthily worn. He will not excell Thurman as an able, profound and well-read lawyer and logical debater; but his knowledge of public affairs, and his information on general and special subjects, far surpass those possessed by bis illustrious and learued predecessor.

SCRAPS. Arkansas ranks next to Texas as a cottorf producing state. Judge Isaic Marston fans now become chief justice of the supreme court of Michigan. Witness fees in the Hayden trial hare already cost the state of Connecticut $7,000. In eastern Siberia it is not an uncommon thing for the ground to freeze to the depth of three hundred feet in winter. The stand-pipe of the Bloomington, Illinois, water works is 200 feet high, eight feet in diameter, and holds 75,202 gallons of water. Ministers of^ evangelical denominations in and around Waco, Texas, are forming an alliance to put down whisky drinjung aad other vices.

The miraculous release of Charles F. Freeman, who sacrificed his child at Pocasset, ia predicted by one of tho principal adventists of that place. According to the same authority the early resurrection of the girl is expected by Freeman and his religious friends. * The success of the recent nwnbehi of Scribner has been so marked that the edition of the February number has been placed at 125,000. This number will contain the first part of Eugene Schuyler’s illustrated life of Peter the Great, which is said to be graphic and interesting to an unusual degree. When the Rev. D. Jacobs Ide was ordained pastor of a church at Medway, Massachusetts, sixty-three years ago, his health was so bad that it was supposed he would die within a few months, bait he survived uutil last Monday, attaining the age of 95. Of the 800 members of his original congregation, he conducted the funeral services of all except one. Marshal Bazaine has asked permission of th^ French government to pass through France for the purpose of arranging certain family affairs, whereupon the Paris Globe speak? of him as “the person called Bazaine, the man of Metz, the fugitive of SaiuteMarguerite,” and says “this traitor has prepared us for anything, but his audacity passes all bounds.” Not very pleasing reading this for the man who conquered Mexico and was one of the chief pillars of the second French empire. A Chicago man took out his new trotter and speeded him on the boulevard yesterday. After putting the nag through at his best eait for a quarter stretch, the owner proudly wheeled up to a police maa on the track and askud: “Why don’t you arrest me for fast drivitig, old fellow ?” The officer only replied, gruffly: “No .cause, sir; you hiiain’t drove fast ’nough yet to violate no ordinance, sir.” The citizen i? advertising a lino trotter for sale in all the city newspapers to-day.— [Chicago Journal. When Mesmer was the rage in Paris a favorite lap dog of the actress, Mile. Arnoult, fell sick and was immediately sent to be mesmerized. After a few magnetic passes the litfle sufferer became quiescent, and the paroxysm not returning he was sent back with a certificate of his complete restoration to health and vigor. And then he is sufficiently malicious to turn right around—about three hundred tunes a minute—and die. “But, thank heaven,” Sava bis comforted mistress, “I have the documents to show that the poor dear died in perfect health.” Repentance.—Teacher (who is trying to 8xplain the meaning of repentance)—“Suppose a bad boy were to steal an orange and his good mother should catch him with it and take him by the hand gently and tell him how wicked it i®, and how very, very grieved she wap, don’t you think now that the little boy ought to feel sorry ?” Sunday scholar— “Yesriim.” Teacher—“And why, Marmaduke ?” Sunday scholar—“Because.” Teacher—“Because what, Manny?” Sunday scholar—“’Cause he haint et tho or’nge befo’ his ma eoch him and tuk it away fum him!” The duke of Argyll was once giving evidence before a committee of the house of commous’on tb&temperanoe question. “But,” paid a member, inquiringly, “one Bailie MacPberson, apparently a person of authority, deposes that he never saw any one drunk in Ins district?” “Very likely,” replied his grace, “Scotchmeu will hardly allow a man to be drunk so long as he can lie still on the floor.” When the marchioness of Lome came to Inverary castle, the duke of Argyll made bis tenants a great feast, and himself called on them to give “Three cheers for the princess, my daughter,” Sir Edwin Landseer was once looking at his own pictures in the South Kensington museum, and, seeing some dust on one of them, leaned over the barrier and wiped it off w ith his handkerchief. Instantly a policeman asked him, “What-are you a-doin’ of, a-touebing of that there picture?” "Why,” answered Sir Edward, smiling, “I’ve often touched it before.” “Have you, though?” cried the indignant officer; “then more shame foryer! You come along wi’me,” and he walk I'd eft' the unresisting painter to the officers of the museum, w ho of course recognized the culprit and condoned the offense. Mr. Frost is a temperance revivalist. He wished to hold iicetings in the Methodist ctmrch at PiiUburg, N. J, but the trustee? feared that bummers would soil the new carpet with tobacco-juice, and only gave the use of the fcare-floored lecture-room. Frost theieujion hired a tmblic hail, and soon got a temperance revival successfully under way. He spoke bitterly of the Methodist trustees as entmif s of the temperance cause, and iu this warfare was joined by the church’s pastor, the Rev. Mr. Lockwood. The strife has split the congregation ; trustees are trying to turn out the pastor, the pastor is trying to turn out the trustees, and the quarrel has been carried to the district conference. The pope has written an autograph letter to the czar, congratulating him on his recent ercape from assassination. In this communication the suprejne pontiff acknowledges the tolerance enjoyed by the Roman Catholic church under an emperor whose rule is characterized by a benign solicitude for the welfare of his subjects irrespective of creed.

To Owner* ot Steam Boilers.
