THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL; WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1880.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 12 Indianapolis la not &a it was. much Republican "What about Whittaker's ears? The eirBUt boom seems to have died out. Cosklikq is said to be terribly hostile to Elaine. He likes Governor Sprague better. The Radical bulldozera of Ohio have not blown up objectionable citizens with kegs of gunpowder for a month or two. Perhaps the Republican press of Cincinnati can explain the unusual delay. Jay Gocld waa a tanner in 1857, in Pennsylvania. He ia now at the head of 8,000 miles of railroads, and besides owls Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune, and probably other slaves. Cosway's teatimony makes the leaders of the Republican party parties directly connected with the immigration of pauper negroes to Indiana for political purposes. There ia no getting away from iL A feiend of Conkling asked Blaine if he expected to win the race. "Certainly," replid the plumed knight. -How?" "By adopting the Rhode Island quick step," said Blaine. No more questions were asked. Haye3 ought not to be permitted to quarter all of his Cabinet upon the judiciary of the country. We may have to take Republicans, but a Democratic Senate should see to it that they are not the most debased and debauched members of the party. It ia said that Senator Cameron haa letters from each delegate from Pennsylvania to the Chicago Convention pledging himself to obey instructions and vote for Grant on the first ballot. This will be quite enough, as he will secure the nomination on the first ballot. Grant means business. He says that he will be nominated at Chicago and elected eure. The Duke ol America talks confidently; and when we reflect that the last Radical candidate was seated without being elected, there is no knowing what the Duke of America can do with all the corruptions of Radicalism in his interest, aided by millions of money. Blaine pocketed New Hampshire. William E. Chandler, the most pestiferous politician in the United States, the man who bears the eame relation to the country at large as Private Dalzsll does to Oäio, was chosen one of the delegates it large. Aa he has been howling for Blaine for more than four years there eeems to be little doubt of the position he will assume and hold at Chicago. INVESTIGATING REPUBLICAN RASCALITIES. The fltzures of the expenditures from the Senate Contingent Fund illustrate the socalled economy of Congres-s. Mr. Voorhees' Investigation of the exodus, which provided a large number of small Southern Democrats wltn the means of making a trip to Washington, ana did little else, coat Jlt,500. The Kellogg investigation, which supplied the rare mass ot perjury on which the present movement for unseating Mr. Kellogg Is based, cost ?7,UUO. The Investigation of cnarxes against Senator ingails, which em to hve lauen to the cround, cost StJ.iOO. Mr. Davis' Committee on tue Treasury bookkeeping, which spent two years In a vain effort ti substantiate various sensational charges made by him in Henate speech, cost The Committee to inquire into and report upon the Rhode Island clam -bate, otheiwise known as the Committee on Civil Service and Retrenchment in Rhode Island, cost almost exactly trie same sum. It is saying less than the whole truth to say that each of these Inquiries was wholly unnecessary, and that the money spent upon them was utterly wasted. New ora Tribune. In every Instance the Committees referred to were necessary to unearth .Republican rascalities. As to the Exodus Committee, more Republicans than Democrats were proTided with means to make a trip to Washington, and in one instance it is reported that Hon. John C. New, a distinguished Republican of Indiana, and Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, made the trip, pocketed the "means," and did not swear at all. He went again, and we presume pocketed the "means" a second time. Daring the period the Committee was engaged in the investigation, numerous Republicans asked to be called to Washington, just to make the trip, for they admitted that they were not in possession of important information. The Exodus Committee haa been of great service to the State of Indiana, and to the country, for it haa been proven that the leaders of the Republican party in Indiana and elsewhere went into it deliberately to import pauper negroes for the purpose of voting the Republican ticket. In the Kellogg case it haa been shown that he owes his place in the Senate to frauds and perjuries as infamoua aa those which Beated Hayes. The Davis Committee haa demonstrated that the most astounding frauds have been perpetrated in the Treasury Department, to cover up which, erasures, alterations and mutilation 3 were resorted to. One item of $210,000,000 can not be accounted for. In the Ingalls case, it was a Republican fight throughout. He was charged with bribery. It was shown that he owed his place in the Senate to bribery, but technically it was not shown that the money came through his hands, and so the Kansas man escaped by the skin of his teeth. That he was guilty, a large per cent of his constituents believe. To raise Investigating Committees. to unearth Republican Bcoundrelism haa been in order for a number of years, and a good many villains have been compelled to take back seats. And still another Investigating Committee ia demanded to overhaul the crookedness of another distinguished Republican official. This time it ia the late Secretary of War McCrary, who left the Cabinet of the Presidential fraud to take upon himself the honora and responsibilities of a Judge. He ia now charged by the Chattanooga Times with the villainy of being directly interested in a fraud of $100,000 upon the Government A Chattanooga dispatch of the 5th says: The Times of this city will to-morrow morning charge, upon documentary and other proof, that Secretary McCrary paid I I0O.OCO on a fraudulent claim of one Williams, a former contractor under the War Department, on Massel Shoals Canal. The charges are specific that the Secretary paid this money against the protest of the engineer in charge. After trie chief of engineers had disapproved the claim, and that he paid it on a trumped-up

I re port of three engineers, who were virtually Hii-Aotort hr Aff.rr&rv tn innrnvi the claim.

The Times offers to maze each aod all of these allegations gocd before a competent Committee of Congress, and designates some of t&e witnesses and documents it wishes to have examined. He further alleges a belief that McCrary was a partner in the law firm which worked the claim through the Department. There haa been a very deep and decidedly belicose feeling here and all along the river on this subject, but circumstances have so far combined to keep the matter quiet. The occasion of the Initial ventilation now Is a Washington telegram in the Cincinnati papers of the 1th, which ad mitt that the claim and its payment were parts ofoneandthe same Job, and charges the onus of the theft on the Engineer's Department, which ia purely slanderous. Just what it will cost to investigate this charge of rascality It would be difficult to name, but the investigation ought tobe had, and if McCrary ia guilty, as he doubtless Is, he should be punished to the extent of having his judical ermine stripped from him. It ia still in order to investigate Republican rascalities, and if the people would be relieved of the burden, they must keep rascally Republicans out of office. STRENGTH OF PARTIES. The Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal is an anti-Grant organ, and in a recent editorial alludes to several difficulties in the way of Grant's aucceaa, provided he should receive the Chicago nomination. It says: General Grant is, nevertheless, to-day foremost in the field; and the political machinery is so adjusted in the States where delegates are yet to be chosen, that lie Is likely to retain his advantage, and go into the Convention with more delegates than any other candidate, if not with more votes than all of them combined. In that case, he will be nominated, unless it can be demonstrated that his defeat will follow his nomination. This It will not be easy, perhaps not possible, to do. The candidate who has a majority of the delegates in a Convention Is presumably the strongest man with the people. In the case of General Urant, however, this rule would not hold good, lie is stronger with the politicians than he is with the people. But as politicians only nominate, while the people elect, it is of far more importance that a candidate should be strong with the people, than that he should be in favor with politicians. Whether General Grant is the strongest man or not, we believe him to be strong enough to be elected if nominated, because. In the present state of the public mind, the weakest Republican is stronger than the strongest Democrat. To ai?ume that the strongest Republican can, beyond a peradventure, be elected is sheer bombast, unadulterated braggadocla. Facts and figures not only do cot warrant such a conclusion, but moat emphatically show that it has no basis whatever. But when it is stated that the "weakest Republican is stronger than the strongest Democrat" the animus of the statement becomes too palpable to admit of doubt It is graveyard whistling, and betokens weakness rather than strength. The New York Herald, in commenting upon the Albany Journal's assertion, remarks that it is "a boastful assumption cot warranted by the political situation," and adds: "What reason is there for believing that the . Democratic party is not aa strong in 1330 as it was in 1STG, when the republican ticket had but one majority in the electoral votes? The popular majority in 1STG was largely in favor of the Democratic candidate. Tilden received. Hayes received. 4.2S1.26.5 .,033,205 Tilden's majority- ..... 200,970 "Although Tilden lost hia election by the narrowest of possible majorities a majority of one in the electoral colleges, he ran ahead of Hayes by mora than a quarter of a million in the popular vote. The Democrats have at present a majority both in the Senats and House, their majority in the popular branch of Congress showing that the people of the country at large continued.to stand by them two years after the Presidential election. What has occurred since to depress Democratic hopes? To be sure there is the feud In New York; but with any other candidate than Mr. Tilden that feud will be instantly healed from the moment that the Chicago ticket is announced. There has been a steady Democratic majority in this State since Mr. Tilden's election as Go vernor in 1374. Even last year the aggregate Democratic vote was a majority, and had it been united on one candidate Mr. Cornell would have been defeated. Vote for both democratic candidates-... 453.3VJ Vote for Cornell- 413,007 Democratic majority 5H,7S9 "It ia generally conceded that the vote of New York will decide the Presidential contest But in view of steady Democratic majorities in the last six elections, how can any sober minded Republican cherish so audacious a fancy aa that the weakest Republican candidate can carry the Stat a against the strongest candidate the Democratic party can nominate? A weak candidate has really no chance at all in this controlling State against the united Democracy supporting a popular ticket It is mere brag and moonshine to say that a candidate who would repel a considerable number cf Republican votes is stronger than the best man the Democrats can nominate." The view taken of the subject by the Herald is worthy of consideration. .New York is a Democratic State, but to secure the vote of the State the New York Democracy must be united. That it will unite on Mr. Tilden does not seem probable Indeed, it does not appear possible. In that event Indiana comes to the front with a candidate who, with his own State solid for him, ought to be acceptable to New York. With Indiana and New York, a Democratic triumph is assured, and Thomas A. Hendricks, under such circumstances, becomes the most' available candidate. PARTIES AND PARTISANS. We are told, from time to time', that parties have always existed in this country and always will exist; that they are necessary to the perpetuity of American Institutions; that they form checks and balances, guards and safe-guards, etc., to the end of the chapter. We are told that in the long run, all parties become corrupt and that changes are required to insuri honesty in the administration of governaental affairs. There ia in all auch talk a vast amount of twaddle. The facts of history do net warrant such conclusions. In government there Is always a party of the right and a ptrty of the wrong, and this ia true of all countries where partI ies exist that have anything to

do with government In the beginning of the American Government there were those who favored independence, and those who favored British rule. The Tories did not succeed. The Independence of the Colonies was secured. There never waa a time when the Tory party ought to have obtained power. Since the Constitution was adopted, there have been two parties; no matter what their namea may have been, they existed from the time when the alien and sedition lawa were advocated down to the preaent One party haa favored a policy in harmony with the Constitution wish peace, prosperity, fraternity, the broadening of the area of suffrage, recognizing the rights of man, and the grand destiny of the Republic. The other party haa opposed the Constitution. It has been fanatical and distrustful. It haa retained the blear-eyed ideas, prevailing in the days of witchcraft It haa, from the daya that the odda and enda of all the isms that ever cursed the country were gathered together, been the foe of constitutional government It has been a party of faction, of hate, of fraud and theft, of forgeries and perjuries. It is the agglomeration of the iniquities of a century, and it is called the Republican party of 13S0. It has a President seated by the most infamous frauds to be found in the archives of Satan's dominions. It has dispersed Legislatures at the point of the bayonet. It haa trampled upon constitutiona in broad daylight and in view of all the people. It has stolen the public funds by millions. It has demanded that troops shall be ready, with fixed bayonets, to stab citizens while exercising the right of suffrage. It has demanded that Deputy Marshals, selected from the most abandoned classes thieves, cutthroats, burglars, footpads and bagnio pimps should be clothed with authority to arrest voters without warrant, and imprison them without trial. It has sent its statesmen to supervise fraud at elections, and to barter Federal offices for partisan perjurers; to maintain power; and, when the crimes were perfected, it haa rewarded the criminals with important offices and compelled honest people to pay them their salaries. This Republican party has debauched every department of the Government, and, to cover up its frauds, has so mutilated the financial records of the Government that it will require years of patient toil to know the extent of its robberies. This Republican party now asks the American people to place it in power; to continue it at the helm. It

confronts the Democratic party. With the Democratic party in power the country has had peace throughout its borders, and prosperity from ocean to ocean. Aa soon aa the Republican party gained control of the country we had war, and thenceforward hate, despotism, crime and universal cusfodness. To be a partisan cow, is to march under the Democratic Hag or the Republican 'bloody shirt" Democrat and patriot are synonymous terms. To be a Democrat is to be in favor of the Constitution ; to advocate honest government; toba a foe to despotism; to hate fraud and perjury, and to Beek by every honorable means the inauguration of a new era of peace and fraternity. The Republican party haa never gained a triumph without appealing to the prejudices of the people, by utilizing fraud and perjury, and the employment of the most nefarious means that could be devised. We challenge the record. It is blackened all over with the most infamous crimes. Look at three prominent men, now candidates for President Grant, Blaine and Sherman each of whom, by the testimony of men of their own party, are pronounced unfit for office disqualified by their own corrupt acta. Parties may exist doubtless they will always exist in this country but by all the godt of the Greeks, it is cot possible to show that the Republican party is either useful, ornamental or honest, or necessary to the peace or prosperity of the United States. CLIPPINGS. The oat crop in Florida is pronounced a failure on account of rust. Tue augar :ane crop of Louisiana is said to be the Onest ever known. The lumber business In Florida la constantly assuming greater proportions. The title which Prince Leopold Is about to adopt Is reported to be the "Cuke of Albany.' The total number of polls in Maine Is 160,219. The total number of votes for Governor last fall was 138,585. Professor Swing is a poor speaker, and depends for effect ou his earnestness and the worth of what he says. General Hancock would make the most majestic looking President the country ever had, aaya the New York Star. John G. Thompson has left Washington to look after the interests of Thurman during the Democratic caucuses In Ohio. A Russia paper gravely assures Its readers that the Earl of Beaconsneld Is about to retire to a monastery for the rest of his days. Robert G. Seymour is the name of a Boston clergyman who Introduced Beecher to an audience as "the genius next to Shakespeare." Ax American historian Is now sojourning In Genoa for the purpose of obtaining original documents in regaid to the genealogy of Columous. Manufacturing clothing in Chicago gives employment to 30,000 people, and tne value of the goods made la 115,000,000. The Industry has doubled In four years. Durino the last thirty days over 1,000 cars of Wisconsin Ice have been shipped South over the Louisville and Nashville and Alabama and Great Southern Railroads. It Is cow believed that the President will not appoint the successor of Postmaster General Key until after the Chicago Convention shall have nominated a Presidential ticket. The white voters in Georgia have a majority over the colored voters of about 30,000. The white Republicans do not number more than 5.0C0. Forty of the 137 Counties, however, have colored majorities. "Oh, I've seeu George," cried a little girl at Cleveland; "he came and leaned over meat the piano." George was a boy who had recently died. The mother, hearing the words, fell dead from heart disease. General Imboden, the ex-Confederate cavalry leader, who represents a large number of Northern capitalists, has purchased 42,000 acres of mining land in Scott County, Virginia, at fifty-five cents an acre. The careful and well informed Augusta cor respondent of the Boston Globe writes to that paper that he thinks the coming campaign in Maine will bo the warmest ever witnessed in that State. In his opinion the FuslonUts

have gained In strength all over the State since last fall. Ex-Assistant Secretary Hawucy had a narrow escape from death at Marshfteid during the recent tornado there, and after leaving the town he was on a railway train which ran off the track and just escaped tumbling over a high embankment Mr. Thomas Robinson, delegate to the Chicago Convention from Butler County, Pennsylvania, has declared unequivocally that he will Ignore the commands of the Harrisburg Convention and will support Senator Blaine, In accordance with the clearly expressed wishes of hU constituents. Lagow telegraphed to bis wife at Palestine, 111., to go to the railroad station with a hearse to meet a certain train, aa he would then arrive dead. She did so, and found him deaddrunk. Angry at his Joke, and possibly disappointed, she had him thrown into the hearse, in which she conveyed him home. St. Louis is shipping grain to Europe by way of Huntington and Richmond. The grain is carried from St. Louis to Huntington in barges. The business Is done by the Chesapeake and Onlo Railroad at very low rates, and it Is said that over 4,000,000 bushels have passed up the Ohio under this arrangement. Senator Edmunds is said to be extremely punctilious in observing all the rules of the Senate, and is quoted as saying to a correspondent who once asked him for Information about what was going on in the Judiciary Committee: "You must understand, sir, that there Is one Committee of the Senate which observes all the proprieties." The friends of the three Republican candidates for the Presidency figure up as follows: The Grant men claim 417 delegates for their man In the Chicago Convention ; the adherents of Blaine, 333, and the admirers of Sherman 238. As these totals aggregate 9S8 votes and there are only 736 in the fall Convention, somebody must be doing some wild figuring. William Allen, recently sentenced to the Connecticut State Prison for life, took advantage of one of the warmest daya last week to have his head thaved by his own barber, and before going to his permanent home cut off his luxuriant brown mustache with his own hand, and sent it for a keepsake to one of the sweetest-facod lady visitors at the County Jail. Thousands of tons of Limburger cheese are produced every season, mostly in the States of New York and Wisconsin, at a cost of less than half that of the Imported article. It finds its market and is consumed mostly by our German-American population. It Is more profitable to the farmer and maker than any other kiud of cheese, because from a given quantity of milk more weight is obtained and better prices are realized. The excess of exports over Imports of merchandise, stated in specie values, was as follows: Month ending March 31, 1S80, 16,117,S(J2; month ending March 31, 1879, 21,293,131: nine months ended Marcb31, 1SSO, 1109.075,333; nine months ended March 31, 1ST',), S2Ä.272.062; t welve months ended March 31, 1880, 1191,465,118; twelve montlis ended March 31, 1879, 3,971,591, A Philadelphia shoemaker is making fifty pairs of shoes for the men who are to go on the Howgate Polar expedition.'

When Dennis Kearney was registered at the San Francisco House of Correction he said that be was a "drayman" and that he was thirtyfour years of age. He had Stf7 in his pocket, but was allowed to retain nothing. He asked permission to move a little coffee stove to his cell, but the keeper wouldn't hear to it. His hair was not cropped, because It was already short. He remarked that the striped suit felt wsrm and comfortable, though the pantaloons were too small. The San Francisco papers say that Kearney could very easily have paid his fine of 51,000, as he is worth 5Ö0.C00. A Universalist preacher was tried in Elmir a last week for horse stealing. He gave his age as forty-three years, said he was born In Hteuben County, and was by profession a teacher. He was sentenced to two years In State Prison, had nothing to say against the Judgment of the Court, but appeared to be well satisfied with. It. He was once a student at the Alfred Academy, and while there was accused of stealing books from the library, but escaped punishment. It is said, too, that Just before he ran away with the horse he borrowed a gold watch of a gentleman, since dead, in the town of Independence, and either kept or disposed of It. He says he Is insane In streaks, and while in such a condition Is unable to discriminate between other people's property and his own ! The .St. Louis Globe-Democrat sneerlngly says that "the demand for ralroad tickets to St. Louis for the 6th of May Convention is not very great, even at the reduced rates, but Mr. E. W. Fox, one of Mr. Henderson's managers, yesterday observed that this fact had very little significance, because at this season of the year tbo walking was generally good, and he had private advices that Just now the country roads wore in better condition than usual even for early May." On the other hand, the Republican, the leading Democratic paper of St. Louis, says: "The Antl Third Term Convention which assembles In this city Thursday, It Is now assured will be a respectable body In point of numbers, and more than respectable politically, In that its members will be men not afraid of the party lash. Among those who will take part in the deliberations of the body are Republicans of National reputation, and the prospects are that some very plain talk will be indulged in. Delegates are already arriving in the city."

A Girl's Murderous Revenge. TNewYork Herald. Little Rock, Ark., May 3. In Muddy Fork Township, Howard County, one day last week Sarah Stokes, a girl aged eighteen, stabbed and instantly killed Linda Stephens, aged twenty, daughter of W. P. Stephens, a magistrate. The two families are respectable and reside on adjoining farms. Tbey have been neighbors and friends for many years. Some imprudent conduct of an elder sister of the murdered girl had been tattled about by Sarah, and retaliatory criticisms upon her own conduct coming to the ears of the latter, Sarah, accompanied by a married sister, rode up to Stephens' gate and engaged in an angry controversy with the mother of the offending Stephens girl, during which she called Mrs. Stephens a liar. Linda, another daughter, the offender beiog absent, took up the quarrel in behalf of her mother, and went to the gate. A few hot worda then passed between the two girls, and Linda climbed over the low fence which separated them. As she did so Miss Stokea drew from her riding skirt a long knife, and jumping from her horse dealt Miss Stephens a heavy blow in the neck. The point of the knife entering just above the collar bone and passing downward Bevered the carotid artery, jugular yarn and windpipe, producing instant death. Miss Stokes then remounted her horse and started home. Aa she passed the field where Mr. 8tephens was plowlrg she called to him and told him she hsd killed hia daughter. Stephens attempted to am at her, but her father, who was at work In an

adjacent field, prevented Stephens from touching her. Being informed of what had happened Stokes told Stephens to take her into custody if he desired. Meantime the girl rode home. An Inquest was held on the body of the dead girl, resulting In a verdict of death at the hands of Sarah Stokes. The murderess made no attempt to escape, and is now undergoing preliminary examination. The defense claims that Miss Stephens had a large stone in her band when she got over the fence, and that Miis Stokes only scted in self defense. It is claimed by the prosecution thas she went around to Stephens' house for the express purpose of killing the sister of the deceased, with whom she waa at enmity. Fortunately for her she happened

to do aDseni on tne mornlDg of the killing. A RACE FOR A BRIDE. The Man Who Came In Last, But Who Fainted at Her Feet.'WIiiniDg the Prize. Pollockville, N. C, May 3. A novel wedding was celebrated here to-day. It stems that Moses John Miller and Alexander. Bibb, two well-to-do young farmers, were in love with the same girl, Leonora Loyd, of this place. She was not able to decide whicn she liked best On Sunday morning Bibb walked home from church with her, and left her under the impression that she said she would marry him. Last night Miller went to see her, and understood her to eay that she would marry him. Both men this mornicg went to the Court House to get out the license. Each procured the necessary documents and started off with a license to marry Miss Loyd. They met at tne Court House door, and, after some talk, agreed that the first man who reached the lady's house should marry her. The residence of Colonel Loyd was one mile distant, and both men started on the race for the bride. Bibb soon quit the main road and dashed into the wood, expecting to make a short cut and reach the house first, bat Miller kept the road, and got in on the homestretch eight minutes before his rival. The men were in sight of each other going up the lane to the house. Bibb's effort to overtake his rival was almost superhuman. When they reached the house, Bibb, from sheer exhaustion, fainted in the porch, falling almost at the feet of his lady love. Wben the situation was explained to her, she raid she had come to the conclusion that ehe liked Mr. Bibb tbe best, and therefore she would marry him. Her sympathies were won over by seeing him faint. She said she believed that both loved her, but that be who faints at the danger of losing a bride must love her more than be who is cool and unconcerned in tbe midst of it all. Rev. Aaron Jasper, the well-known Baptist minister, married Mr. Bibb and Miss Loyd. General Grant Presented With an Old Bill. While General Grant was in the parlors at the Lmadrld House, in Vicksburg. a card from "Wiliiam Scott? ' was handed him with a request for an Interview. The interview was granted and the General recognized in William Scott a colored man who had been chief cook to the General and his staff during their 6ojourn In the country back of Vicksburg auriDg the siejre of 1S63. The General shook hands with William and was "glad to meet him." Whereupon William presented him with tbe following bill: Jackson, Miss., June , 1S63. General V. 8. Grant, To William Scott, Dr. For balance due for services as cook......f 10 On the back of the bill was written: "General, if you haven't time to attend to this, please address William Scott, Vicksburg. Miss., care of Mrs. Jacob Latcher." The General read the bill over and assured William tbat it should be attended to. Scott was a slave before the war and belonged to Colonel Reuben Dunbar, with whom he remained until General Grant's army psssed Vicksburg, just previous to the surrender, at which time he joined the Union forces and served as cook to the General and staff, and was euch at the time of the surrender, but during the excitement and rapid movements he lost Bight of tbe General and failed to collect tbe balance due him, and now, after a lapse of nearly seventeen years, he presents his account for the same. As to whether or not General Grant will avail himself of the benefit of the statute of limitation the Vicksburg Commercial is not advised. The Republican Candidate. I New York Sun. The heart of the Republican party is with Blaine. He is the roost popular of the Republican leaders. He is far more popular than Grant Notwithstanding this. Grant's chances for the comlnatio are better than Blaine's. Blaine is known, in a sirgle instance, to have sold his official Influence for money. Still the corrupt element of tbe Republican party, and this element is Uuga, prefers Grant to Blaine. Blaine has got rich; he has made money enough, and very likely would make a less corrupt administration than Grant. It is well-known that Grant is comparatively poor, and very graapinp. Somehow tbe plunderers have a natural inclination toward him. The money is on tte side of Grant We, therefore, look upon his nomination, al though be is cot tbe first choice of the masses, as extremely probable. SHent Women. Rochester Express. One of the prominent citizens of a suburb of Chicago promised a ladies' sewing society a certain sum of money for their treasury if they could meet for one afternoon, each with her own individual work, and, attending stiictly to business, refrain from speaking one word during tbe time allotted to society work. The great effort was made with success, showing what perseverence and will power can do in this rough world. The local paper says: "Though tbe sighs and groans were many and heartrending, the laughing grew quite dangerous; though at times the quiet waa quite funereal, again the click of the knitticg needles, the rustle of tbe fancy work or the winding of yarn would make it quite lively. Only the tongues were still. Tnough some were forced to literally place a marble, or a lczecge, or a thimble in their mouths; though the etrips of court plaster were on hand; though tbe bottle of mucilage was several times passed around taking them all together, nothing of the kind was required, save the word and the will of the ladies, who had pledged themselves to raise, in that way, the requisite amount for their treasury.""

"We extract from Dr. Rad way's "Treatise on Disease and Its Cure," aa follows: XJST Or DISEASES CtJKXD BT Baitaj's Saraiariaj Bestt Chronic Skin Diseases, Carles of the Bone, Humors In the Blood, Scrofulous Diseases, Bad or Unnatural Habit of Body, 8yphllls and Venereal, Fever Sores, Cbronio or Old Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Rickets, White Swelling, HcaOd Head, Uterine Affections, Cankers, Glandulär Swellings, Nodes, Wasting and Decay of the Body, Pimples and Blotches, Tumors, Dyspepsia, Kidney and BUdder Diseasea, Chronie Rheumatism and Gout, Consumption, Gravel and Calculous Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints to which sometimes are given specious names. We assert that there Is no known remedy that possesses the curative power over these diseases that Rad way's Resolvent furnishes. It cures step by step, surely, from the foundation, and restores the Injured parts to their sound condition. The wastes of the body are stopped and healthy blood Is supplied to tbe system, from which new material is formed. This la the first corrective power of Rad way's Resolvent. In cases where the system haa been sail vated, and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumulated and become deposited in the bones, joints, etc., causing carries of the bones, rlcket, spinal curvatures, contortions, white swellings, varicose veins, etc., the Barsapanlllan will resolve away those deposits and exterminate the virus ol the disease from the system. If those who are taking these medicine for the cure of chronic. Scrofulous or Sypbilltle diseases, however slow may be the cure, "feel better" and find their general health improving, their flesh and weight Increasing, or even keeping Its own, it is a sure sign tbat the cur is progressing. In these diseases the patient either gets better or worse the virus of the disease is not inactive; if not arrested and driven from the blood it will spread and continue to undermine the constitution. As soon as the Sarsaparllllan makea the patient "feel better," every hour you will grow better, and Increase in health strength and flesh. OVARIA? TUMORS.
