SCHUYLER COLFAX AT HOME.

rA ' \ r ::,-. , ai'T'“rW—T-’’ yvwiwif uuu jTvm JjTvT pmyv.j Mr. Colfax here exhibited both of the canceled drafts of June and July, 1868. He then continued: I stated to the committee that I had used still more money in Indiana and elsewhere, for legitimate campaign purposes in that canvass, contributed by friends,and offered to show them all I had expended politically, personally and for household expenses. 1 did this because I did not know how far these investigations were to extend, judging from the researches made after my specific explanation of where I got the money deposited in June, 1868, but the committee declined to inquire into these items, and hence this information has been lost to the world. I will not weary you by further details. You have all read the voluntary affidavit of my life-long friend, Ricketson Burroughs, who, though he had only heard of and not even read my statement as to the thousand dollar remittance of June from Mr. Nesbitt, swore that’ I had told him that summer of having received SI,OOO to $2,000 from Mr. Nesbitt for political uses, proving by his repetition of the larger Sum our times over that I had evidently told him of both the June and July remittances from Nesbitt. He added that I informed him I had sent Mr. Nesbitt’s contributions to the Republican Central Committee at Indianapolis, as I have shown you I did. I read now an extract of a letter from Oliver Hovt, one of the leading business men of New York in the leather trade, who writes me: “You will doubtless remember that yon have honored me with a visit at my house in Stamford, in June, 1869, and while there yon stated you would like to call on Mrs. Nesbitt, whose husband had recently died; you stated to me onihe way that Mr. Nesbitt had been exceedingly generous and kind to you; that be had sent to yon. unsolicited, $2,000 or $3,000 to help in the campaign. You also stated that Mr. Nesbitt seemed to have no selfish end in view; that he was deeply interested in the success or the Republican party, and only desired of you that you would feel free to come to his house and take a meal with him. I was personally acquainted with Mr. Nesbitt, and knew him to be a man of large wealth and of generous deeos.’’ I could read you more letters I have received on this stbject from confidential friends with whom I conversed more or less about this generous man. But it is needless. I must read you, however, a brief extract from a letter written by Hon. J. D. Defrees to A. R. Sample, Esq., of this citv. He says: “ Y’ou know that four years ago the long and intimate relatione which had existed between Mr. Colfax and were broken off. hut my sense of justice will not permit me to sympathize with ' the bitter and cruel denunciation of a portion of the public press against that gentleman I have known Mr.. Colfax from boyhood, and I do not believe him to be corrupt, nor would Ke make a statement under oath he did not believe to be true. I ■ know how easy it is to inflame the public miud on any subject and how unreasonable it becomes when inflamed. A reaction, however, always takes place, and in that reaction, which is bound to come in this instance, a more reasonable, a more charitable and a much less vindictive feeling will exist toward alrthese gentlemen.” ' Need I add. to! thia generous and voluntary letter that, having heard how vigorously he had defended me against all reflections on my integrity and" truthfulness, I was glad the first time I met him to tender him publicly my grateful thanks, and shaking hands together the unpleasant alienation of the past four years ended, and 1 trust forever. Many minor points in this matter I would like to analyze at length, but I have referred to those which have excited the most discussion, and do not wish to unnecessarily prolong this statement. The falsehoods that have been telegraphed over the country during the investigation have been persistent and malicious. I was astounded when, for the first time in my life, I saw the “3. “C.” check in the committee room and found it was to be charged to me, and the astonishment was telegraphed as the evidence of my guilt. Next it was telegraphed that I was going to try and prove that I received the $1,200 from Jasper Bchoemaker, Stuart and Bowen, and when it was found.that this was false it was telegraphed that I had to change tactics and charge it to a deceased man. When 1 wrote to the committee in regard to the other Nesbitt remittances, and the desire of his family, and the decision of my counsel that they should not be presented to account for a deposit on a certain day in June, it was that I had forgotten them; and when another falsehood was telegraphed that I had, after Nesbitt’s death, acted as his attorney,-or lobbyist, the Postmaster-General officially refuted it, and showed that I had done no more than any Congressman could have done without criticism, and no more than I have done as to any department business which any constituent of mine, friend or foe, asked me to have decided justly during the year I represented this district in congress, I could read you more letters I have received on this subject from confidential friends with ; whom I conversed more or less about this generous man. Here I must close. From 4 first to last I have stated all the leading practical points in this transaction, in identical and unchanged language, and I am not responsible for the malicious perversions and twistings of these statements with which the newspapers have been filled. Jn the confidence of the family circle, before „ .you here in a public speech' and in the Committee room at Washington, I have stated what is the sact —that Lnever received a dollar of dividends on the Credit-Mobilier or Union Pacific Railway from Mr. Ames or any one else—on all occasions I have stated that while I would be willing to buv it at par and to hold it as I 'understood it- i'n 1868, no prospect of liberal dividends could induce me to buy into a lawsuit. For over four years, by Mr. Ames’ own testimony, although we have both been at the capital, there has not been a word exchanged between us as to dividends on this ' stock. Could there be stronger confirmation of its abandonment? I stand before you conscious of no wrongdoing in this matter, in thought, word or deed. As was represented to me by Mr. Ames, I agreed to buy twenty shares; afterward, and within a few months, on my own convictions, I abandoned it, preferring to lose what I had paid than to hold it. It ““never influenced a vote or a ruling of mine in the slightest degree. Mind, and heart, and conscience, all acquit me of tile unjust imputations to which I have been subjected. My record has never been stained with dishonor or falsification, and this extraordinary manifestation of unshaken confidence and unchangeable regard by old friends who have known me from boyhood, answers a thousand malicious attacks, and thrills my heart with a gratitude I cannot express jn words. ■ .« After the' conclusion of Mr. Colfax’S address, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in welcoming Schuyler’ Colfax home to-day, after his twenty years 'of arduous public service, in which he has been excelled by none as a model statesman—temperate, judicious and faithful to principles—we do so with undiminished confidence in his honor and integrity, both as a public man and a private citizen. A New Yobk gambler some time ago had an‘attack of paralysis in the right forefinger, caused by overwork in. his profession. The ..disease has now extended,itself to nearly every joint and muscle in his body, and, to quote from the World, from which We get the information above stated, “the arms hang useless and absolutely fleshless—mere skin and bone—the intercostal muscles are gone, and the man can make no respiratory movements requiring their action; the neck, oesophagus, trachea, and spinal column are clad in skin, and that is all, the processes of the latter standing out as plainly las in a skeleton. The head, un supported, hangs down on the chest, as if it were merely tied on. By a movement of the loins the man can throw his head over so that it will fall resting on his shoulders and back, but otherwise than thus, mechanically, he cannot control its motion. What parts the disease will next attack is a question with the physicians at Bellevue, where the case was shown yesterday, but the result is hardly doubtful. Breathing is done now Tth t t^ 6 ked ” ragm ’ &U d mUSt ceaße —Charles Bradlaugh, the noted British Republican, is coming to this country to lecture next season. He is a large, pow erfiil man, of about forty-five, a cross between Henry Ward Beecher and Robert Collyer, with a ringing voice and a master of oratory unknown to any other speaker now living in Great Britain. He is adored by his Yol lowers, and intensely hated by lociety and the Government. I

It had been beating away for years, comfortably enough on the right side, when by all rights it should have been on the left; but from the slight derangement, it suffered little if any derangement.

Dr. Charles Putnam, of Boston, discourages the popular delusion that the children of the poor are the hardiest and most likely to attain Jo maturity.

The maddest woman in the United States of America is one who lives at Jackson, Me. She recently lent her fiftydollar muff to a female acquaintance, who sported it at a small-pox funeral, and sent it home with a neat little note, stating this fact, and that as she “had sprinkled it with benzine, the owner need not fear catching the disease.” A Troy (N.

Charlie Redfield, treasurer of McVicker’s theatre, has a curiosity. It is a bank note on the First National Bank of Goshen, Ind., of the denomination of $lO on the face and S2O on'the back.

The improvements upon the farm are described aHength, and with the land are stated to be worth seventy thousand dollars. The magnitude of the Illinois railroad system can be understood when it is considered that now only seven counties, Jasper, Crawford, Calhoun, Hardin, Pope, Massac and Franklin; out of the one hundred and two counties in the State, are not touched by railroads. Even in the seven counties mentioned, railroads are already projected, so that it will be but a •bort time until every county in the State will be reached by rail, aggregating a total of between 7,000 and 8,000 miles of road. , “ •

Here is a Kentucky society item: A short time ago, near Owentown, Thomas Heath, in'ccftnpany with nine other young men, went to within a short distance of the house of Miss Lena Ballard, whose father opposed her marriage with Heath. One of the party advanced and gave a concerted signal. The girl started, with the old gentleman in hot pursuit. The race was close and determined, but the girl got in ahead and was borne ..off on the horse behind Heath, amid the cheers .of the party, whilethe disconsolate parent returned to console those of., his household. The-party hastened to the residence of a magistrate, where they were soon pronounced man and wife.

“Put a barrel on your own back,; you brute!” shouted an old gentleman with a flowing white peard and a cherry face, as a heartless truckman; was lashing a-pait, of overworked horses that were stagger-1

ing through the sloughs in William street. “Are,you one of Bergh’s spies?" was the surly rejoinder. “No, sir, but I’m a Bergher, and if-you’ll come down like a mag I’ll thrash you.” The cartman took up the gauntlet, and the old gentleman was as good as his word; and to the honor of the policemen be it said, they did hot interfere, but allowed the driver to get his deserts.— N. Y. Tribune; There is a schoolmaster in Plymouth, Mass., who may fall somewhat short of Lord Erskine in his admiration of trial by Jury. He was on trial charged with the excessive and inhuman castigation of a pupil, and the result was a verdict, of guilty, followed by a sentence of imprisonmentin the county jail. And now he learns that there was a serious difference of opinion among the jurors as to bis guilt, which makes it*extremely iinprobable that an agreement could be secured. Bather than remain out all night, the twelve good men and true concluded to draw lots for a verdict, and it was by this tribunal that the accused pedagogue was found guilty. However, the decision of the lots was probably the just one.

The Administration.

The twenty-second Presidential term has begun. General Grant stands midway in his civic career. His address upon passing the half-way milestone was delivered at noon yesterday, and read the same evening all over the land. The occasion admitted of no remarkable, utterdefinite suggestions to Congress is when that bocly convenes. Unless something special should occur to require the calling of an' extra session, we shall have no more national legislation for nine months. In the meantime the President has only to keep the machinery of the Government running in accordance with the laws of the land. President Grant regards his re-election as a vindication of himself from the charges of his enemies, and such it certainly was. Not that the people hold him above liability to Wunder, b;;t that they accord to him worthy motives and good judgment. He is a safe man to -have- at the head- of public affairs. Singularly modest and plain, his first term has passed into history crowned as no other four years of peace ever were. In all our national experience no parallel can be found to it in the completeness and importance of its accomplished facts? 4 The popular vindication of the Administration was richly deserved, and the developments of the past winter added emphasis to it. Names hitherto unsullied and familiar to the whole country were blackened by the exposures of last winter ; but not so much as the shadow of suspicion of corruption rests upon the Presb dent. No briber ever dared approach him with a specious offer of a good “in vestment." The whiteness of his reputa' tion is unspotted by a single fleck. Four years ago the country was in a deplorable condition, politically. The South was in a state bordering on chaos, and the civil service was fearfully demoralized- The quarrel between Congress and President Johnson necessarily poisoned the channels of national government. The attempt was at once made notpnly to remedy the evils of the Johnson rule, but to uproot the spoils.sy-stem inaugurated by General Jackson. In this the Executive was more successful than any of us dared hope, even though the hostility was desperate. With all its disguise, the contest . last fall -was over that issue. The opposition was con’ trolled and . impelled by the element in the Republican party which smarted under reform, and longed for a return to the old way of dispensing patronage. Besides this distinctive triumph, the late Administration cah point with peculiar pride to the complete restoration of friendliness with foreign powers, the reconstruction of every State once in rebellion, and the establishment of universal suffrage. Every issue growing out of the war and that which caused it has been squarely met. The dead past how sleeps' in the grave. The nation is prepared for whatever new labor the public good may require. The interval between the,inauguration and the first assembling of the new Congress will afford opportunity to cast about and mature plans tor the future, There are four grand conditions of national prosperity, viz.: 1. Relief of production from the exorbitant taxes levied by transportation monopolies; 2. Continuous development of our latent resources through manufactures. 3, Restoration of our commerce. 4. Lifting our paper money to the level of coin as a medium of exchange. * * * * * Judging the new Administration by the old, the four conditions of the nation’s thrift which have been named will be thoroughly met before U. 8. Grant retires to private life.— Chicago Journal.

To Halter and Break a Colt.

As soon as' heturns his head towards you,, go towards him, talking to him gently, if he turns . from you, apply the lash; in a short time he will follow you and let you handle him. Then take a strong cord about ten feet long, fasten one end around his under jaw, as you would around a . cow’s horns, sp tliat. it will not slip; pass the other endover his neck on the off side and down through the loop around hisjaw, on.the side next to you; take the cord, step to one side, give him a sharp pull; he may go the other way the first time; do not try to hold him; go up to him, and pat him and try him again, saying, “Come here!’’ When he turns his head or steps towards you, pet him to let him know that he is doing right; never fry to drag him forward by main force. When he will not come give him a pull sideways, slacking the cord as soon as you give him the pull. If the colt is about to Idsd his temper let him rest for an hour or two. Never Iqse your temper; be gentle but firm. As soon as he will follow y6u a’nywhere, put on a well-fitting strap 'halter and hitch him in the stable.

Sound Ideas on Fanning.

A lecture delivered at Baltimore, Md., contains propositions peculiarly applicable To the Eastern portion of the United. Slates; and all bat the third proptr ' sition Will apply with equal force everywhere. They are: 1. That the area under cultivation should be within the limits of the capital and labor employed; or, in other words, that on impoverished soils no one should cultivate more land than he can enrich with manure and fertilizers, be it one acre or twenty. - ' 2. That there should be a law compelling every man to prevent his stock from depredating on his neighbor’s fields. 3. That soiling of feeding crops green is more economical than pasturing. 4. That deep tillage is essential to good farming. - 5. That the muck heap is the farmer’s* bank, jind that everything should be added to it that will enlarge it, and increase at the same time its fertilizitig properties. ' 6. That no farmer or planter should depend upon one staple alone, but should seek to secure hifnself against serious loss in bad seasons'by diversity of products.

—Don’t wash your vegetables until just before you are ready to cook them.

Did that coun - tryman wash each beet, carrot, potato, etc., as is generally'practiced for sale to the dealer, and by the consumer desired,, he would never be 4 able to keep his product a single month. The receiver, of clean-washed vegetables, according to the now established law of refinement, never yet ate of a good natural flavor, and these same people once they leave their city homes and go into the country farmhouse rarely fail to note the superiority of the vegetables. It—is-Het-because of the better knowledge of cookery, but it is from the fact that the earth is a preservative and absorbent of the volatile element of the root, which as jsoon as washed evaporates rapidly into Sir and is lost. -Consumption.—For the cure of this distressing disease there has been no medicine yet discovered that can show more evidence of real merit than Allen’s Lung-Balsam. This unequaled expectorant for curing coSumption, and all diseases leading to it, such as affections of the throat, lungs, and all diseases of the pulmonary organs, is introduced to the suffering public after its merits for the cure of suc-h discaseshave been fully tested by the medical faculty.

Wonderful Statements,. .Unless, hundreds of our most responsible citizens have conspired to delude the community, a medicine has at last been . introduced which is a specific for almost every human ailment, not involved in the entire paraly zation or partial destraction of the organ or organ's in which if exists. These witnesses testify (in some distances from their own personal experience, in others on behalf of others), that dyspepsia, liver complaint, remittent and intermittent fever, nervous debility, and numberless other diseases, are rapidly and radically cured by this new remedy. It hails from California, and has in two years overleaped all competitors among advertised tonics, and become par excellence the medicine of the people. California is an except ion al region. Its vegetable products, especially those of a medicinal nature, have no equivalent elsewhere, and it is from the choicest of these that Dr. J. Walker prepares his famous alcoholless Vinegar Bitters, the invaluable invigorant, nutrient, laxative and alterative ter which we refer. Those w'ho have tested the curative properties of this marvelous, preparation pronounce it the most comprehensive remedy ever offered to mankind, and assert that there is no inorganic disease which it will hot subdue. Asa family medicine, we can recommend it without reserve.

Sore Throat, Cough, Cold and similar •troubles, if suffered to progress result in serious pulmonary affections, oftentimes incurable. "Broto'.i’s Bronchial Troches" reach directly the seat, of the disease, and give almost instant relief. Bessons requiring" purgatives or pills should be careful what t-hey buy..

It is a rare thing«that physicians give any countenance to a medicine the manufacture of which is a secret. About the only exception we know of is Johnsmds Anodyne Liniment.

D., of Logan Co., O, says: ‘Allen’s Lupg Balsam not only sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in every case within my knowledge. Hating confidence in it, and knowing that it possesses valuable medicinal properties,. I freely use it in my dally practice, and with unbounded success. As an expectorant, it is most certainly far ahead of any preparation I have ever yet known.” Nathaniel Harris, M. D., of Middlebury, Vt., says: “ 1 have no doubt it will soon become a classical reiifc c edial agent for the cure of all diseases of the Throat, BronchiarTn-hes and tungs.” ' 77’" -- - -■■ Dr, Lloyd, of Ohio, surgeon in the army during the war, from exposure, contracted consumption, he says : “ Ihaveuohpsitancy in saying that it was by the use of your Lung Balsam that, I am npw alive and enjoying health.” Dr. Fletcher, of Lexington, Mo., says. “ I recommend your Balsam in preference to any other rnedicine for Coughs, and it gave satisfaction.” Drs. Wilson & Ward, physicians and druggists, write from Centreville, Tenn.: “We purchased Allen’s Lung Balsam, and it sells rapidly. We are practising physicians, as well as druggists, and take pleasure in recommending a great remedy, such as we know this to be.” , Physicians do not recommend a medicine which has no merit.

I inlrnnFiiailirr Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits arid Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called “ Tonics,” “ Appetizers,” “ Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the. native roots and herbs of California, free from al! Alcoholic Stimulants* They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of |he System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease.
