Letter from Mr. Colfax.

(Prom the Providence Journal.] There has been an unusual malignity in the attack upon Mr. Colfax. Not content with false charges against his good name, his enemies have turned upon those who have adduced facts in his defense. It seems that, in their determination to crush him, they have resolved to overwhelm every man who dared to defend him. The manly course of Mr. Drew excited their special vindictiveness, and they endeavored to destroy his reputation because he had interposed in defense of Mr. Colfax. The following letter, in confirmation of Mr. Drew’s statement is timely, and its publication eminently proper: South Bend, lod., August 2C. 1573. Mr Dear Sir: Just returned from Minnesota, I find among my letters, the following from Hon. E. 15. Washburne, United States Minister to France: Paris. .July 31.1873. Hon. Schuyler Colfax: Dear Sm—l have, duly received your favor of the 7th instant. I have seen the statement of Mr. Drew. It is true that he was at this legation pending the Credit-Mohilier investigation before the Poland Committee, last winter. I well recollect our conversaUon on the subject of the “S. C., or beared cheek, and his statement that lie had reason to know that you did not get the money. My recollection of the conversation is confirmed by -one -of my secretaries, who wag present and heard it. I understood from Miy Drew that he was abroad for the purpose of making certain investigations in regard to frauds committed on the revenues of. the United States. Yours very truly, E. B. Washburne. I am even more rejoiced, my dear sir, than you can be at this emphatic confirmation of your statement. You declare in your letter to Judge Poland that when you first heard of this $1,200 check (which was first presented to the committee, January 22,1878), you ware atthe American Legation at Paris, and told Mr. Washburne at the time that you knew Colfax never. got that money. The. New York World , whose, malignant perversions and falsifications in this matter have been as brutal in their language as they have been infamous in their spirit, determined to dishonor you also, because you had dared to tell the truth in a matter in which you had no interest whatever. It has, therefore, over and over again asserted that your statement must be false because you had been seen in Washington In my company at the time you said you were in Paris. Knowing this to be a falsehood, as I had not the slightest recollection of having seen you at all for more (Jjian a year, I wrote to Mr. Washburne; and, as you will see, oat of the mouths of two witnesses—not only Mr. Washburne himself, but his Secretary also—is your truth, doubly confirmed, and the lie of the World newspaper doubly refuted. Let me thauk you personally for daring, for the sake of truth and justice, to encounter all the vilification to which yon have been subjected. He who knoweth all things, knows that I never received from Oakes Ames any stock or bonds of the Credit Mobilier or the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any dividend thereon, in cash or check or stock or bonds. And I consider it but little less than providential that you happened to see Mr. Ames himself draw the money on this very “ 8. C. or bearer” check, thus confirming Mr. Dillon *• testimony, but also that you saw him pay the $1,200 he received at the Sergeant-at-Arms’ counter to a stranger who had been talking to him on 2rew Orleans matters. I know this confirmation of your statement against the asper#lon« of your calumniators will begrati-

lying to cx-Governors Underwood and Stewart, Lieutenant-Governor Taft, Generals Barstow, Wells and Henry, Judge Wales, President Buckham, of the University of Vermont, Messrs. Benedict and Huntington, and other prominent citizens of Vermont, who have borne such strong testimony to your reliability and your unimpeachable "character. With grateful regards, yours truly,

POLITICAL NOTES.

Win hrec years the national debt of the United States has been reduced by $250,000,000. At this rate the debt will be wiped from existence within the lifetime of hundreds of thousands of men who fought in the armies that suppressed the rebellion. —Chicago Journal. While Democrats point to what they promise to do, Republicans point to what they have done. The people prefer that which is positive to that which is possible. The country is prosperous under Republican rule, ..No one can predict what it would be if the Democrats were in power. The people are strong in the logic of common sense. — St. Louis Democrat. JSf”Tlie “new party” is hard-up for a name. The name of “Democracy” it lias become afraid of for obvious reasons, and the name of “Liberals” last year failed to deceive the people. In lowa it now calls itself “Anti-Monopoly”; in Ohio, the “People's party”; in Illinois, the “AntiMonopoly Reform party”; and the Chicago Times, one of the “new party” oracles, wants it called the “Economists.” Anything you please, gentlemen—anything, you please; it’s of no consequence what you call the Democratic mule-team that’s jogging along on the other side of the road while the big Republican procession is passing.— Chicago Journal. I3P Whenever the peopleoftheeountry have the issue presented to them, there is no hesitancy or doubt in their judgment on the record or conduct of the party in power. The Republican party in the States or the nation never was' stronger witlr the masses of the people than it is to-day. Individual members of-the party-may have erred in their personal or official conduct, laws may have been enacted that were neither wise nor judicious, but the principles' of the party, its organization, its controlling men, have the confidence, and will have the full endorsement of a large majority of the people of this country.— Washington Chronicle. IW The* Ohio campaign possesses a sjiecial interest til is year, from the fact that it presents in sharpest outline the issues and tendencies of the times. The Democrats there were foremost in retracing their steps from the assumed progress of last year, and placing themselves on the old ground. The railway question and the farmers’ movement have an influence there which they have not have acquired further East. The speech of Senator Morton is a comprehensive review of all these questions, and demonstrates with unanswerable power the claims of the Republican party to the continued confidence of the people. Happily, there is no doubt of the result in Ohio,for even our adversaries concede that a Republican success is insured.—Jackson {Mich.) Citizen. UiT'Speaking of the transportation evil, the Buffalo (N. Y.) Commercial Advertiser says: “The only reasonable hope of correcting the evil of which the farmers complain is to be found in the action of a Republican Congress. In due time that body will grapple with the monstrous power which, like a hideous octopus, is seeking to throw its long arms around the producing industries of the country to hold them fast in a deadly embrace. A Republican Congress has already taken the initiatory step for the enfranchisement of the farmers. As Senator Morton remarked in his recent speech, a special ccupmittee was appointed at the last session of the Senate, invested with ample powers to examine and report upon the subject of transportation. The needs of increased means of transportation, . the abuses and extortions practiced by railway companies, and the remedies for these needs and abuses, are-within the direct scope of the inquiry which this committee is instructed to make.” ICSPNo party that has ever been in possession of the Government has managed the public finances with more prudence and careful forethought than the Republicans. They have maintained the revenues upon a scale sufficient to pay off a large floating debt, toreduee heavily the funded debt, to extinguish the compound interest notes, the temporary loan and the three per cents, standing on call; they have kept an ample stock of gold always in the Treasury, that has insured the regular payment of the gold interest without the necessity for sudden purchases; they have reduced the rate of interest on the debt, raised American credit everywhere, given the nation the largest and strongest hanking system in the world, and brought us within sight of a favorable balance of trade. And under their guidance the National Mint is now coining and putting into use an American trade dollar that will make our coinage the preferred element in the commerce of Asia, where it has never had such a, standing Ix'lbre.—Philadelphia North American. the, result/of a' comprehensive survey of the field, now that the lines of battle aye forming with ..sufficient distinctness to admit of safe conclusions, we find that the Republican party is still in an ' advantageous position. It has donirnotlu ing to forfeit public confidence. It is not responsible for the errors or crimes, of individuals when it denounces them’ as it has in its official utterances. It is possessed of the progressive spirit that enables it to deal with the questions of the future as it has done with those of the past for the public benefit. The people know that it can be trusted, and will trust it. In Wisconsin. and Mississippi, as in Ohio and other States where it has spoken, it has pointed With pride to its achievements, and spoken firmly but not rashly of what it must yet accomplish. These declarations are before the people; and against them are only the feeble platitudes of the Ohio platform, repeated in all the States where the Democrats have held conventions. To doubt the result is to doubt the good sense of the American people.—A. Y. Times.

In This Sign We Conquer.

It is interesting to mark the difference between the fearless action of the Republican party, as exhibited in its Stale Conventions, and that of the various organisations opposing it. Dhftc'Mhinesotac, lowa and Wisconsin—all great Republican States—place themselves squarely oh the side of the farmers’ movement, and bring the Republican party up in solid columns to oppose monopolies and fight the battles of the new revolution. They condemn corruption and iniquity whereever found, and apologize for no guilty man, be he friend or foe. How is it with the parties in opposition? In Ohio and Pennsylvania the Democracy pass long strings of resolutions upon dead issues, but dismiss the agriculturist with a feeble mention, and without proclaiming any method to redress the wrongs under which this class is laboring. In the former State tne Pharisees, the ‘’new party,” passed the farmers by without recognition, not deigning to give them even a paragraph in the woray “resolve#" seat out as a platform. la SfiPtucky, the home of the aimop pure Democracy, the ever-faithful Democratic BUt«, the farmers w«re not only ignored,

but the party refused to condemn the increase of salaries, while some of the chief Democratic organs openly defend it. These facts speak for themselves. They show that the skulking guerrillas who compose the various squads opposed to Republicanism are ready to do anything for power, and that they are everything by turns and nothing long, to suit the various breezes that blow in their individual localities. Such conduct has received, and will continue to receive, the disfavor and fcontempt of the people. Parties, like men, must be honest if they would be successful. Trickery, demagogism, hypocrisy, cannot permanently triumph. If there is any Republican working for the new reform for policy’s sake, lie may as well lay down his burdens and retire. The Republican party wants men who will labor inthis cause becaitsc it is right, and not because it is politic; and the determined and positive munner in which it has entered upon the contest in the States above-named, and in the various, sections where conventions have been held in other States, proves that the old spirit with which the party fought rebellion and slavery inspires it in the new cause; that the old organization which rewarded the soldier, liberated the captive, and gave free homes to free men on the National domain, is the one to which the people must now turn for justice and relief. The motto is: Purity at any cost; honesty -at whatever sacrifice; the will of the people is the law of the land: Under this sign the party goes forward to conquer in the future as it lias in the past. —Chicago Jnter-Oceun.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—A faithful following of a well-selected plan of general fanning will always be followed by larger profits, at the close of a long series of years, than with the following of that system which attempts to change from one specialty to another, as the prices of different products vary. —Eggs in tlie Italian Method. —Moisten butter and flour in the stewpan, stirring constantly ; when of the thickness of rich batter, thin with a little boiling milk, and season with pepper and salt; add a little chopped--green parsley. Have ready, eight eggs boiled half an hour, slice, poutover the sauce, and serve hot. —Wherever good land is in a fair state of fertility and has been manured occasionally, clover sod plowed in the fall and exposed to the cold of winter, or plowed immediately after a crop of hay is taken off, or still better, if the crop of grass isplowed under about the time it is in bloom and left to lie until seeding time, will always yield the hest crops of wheat. —By means of the drill wheat is sown regularly and all at the same depth. If the seed is good there need he no allowance made for wastage as in sowing by hand. One bushel and a peck per acre is plenty, and, if the grains be small, one bushel. It is planted regularly and at a proper depth, and it all has an equal chance to grow and to fasten its roots firmly in the soil. -By-drilling, fertilizers..can. also be sown at the same lime. —“ Liver Rot.”—An English fanner, who has kept sheep for forty years, says lie lias found rock salt a valuable antidote for liver rot, and that these animals cannot be too liberally supplied with this saving substance. Re further declares that in cases of congestion of the liver, or rot, he has found two tablespoonfuls of turpentine, shaken up in half a pint of water and given to the sufferer, a frequent cure, unless the disease has made very great progress. —Features of a Good Ox.—A good ox should have a long, lean face, and bright, hkzcl eyes, which show capability to receive instruction and disposition to obey it. Large nostrils denote tlie capability of the ox to work on a hot day. Very large horns at the base denote lazmeisT Full breast, Straight back, wide ribs—by which is meant the ribs that round out nearly as wide as the rib bones—and wide gainbril, are evidence of strength. Straight knees, broad toes, pointed straight forward, show an ox can travel on hard road or pavement. —Feed for Colts.—A correspondent of tlie Maine Farmer, who is a successful breeder of horses for driving, Ac., gives that paper his method of feeding colts. He feeds all colts as many oats as they will eat up clean, feeding three times a daylie gives weanlings four pounds of oats per day, with eight pounds of hay; to yearlings five pounds oats; two-year olds, six pounds; three-year olds, eight pounds, with ten pounds ofliay for'each of the last ages. The colts are all handled from their birth. Even in the winter the young colts have a half-hour’s gallop "daily, while the ojd ones are daily driven. A warm bran mash is given once a week, and also three or four pounds of potatoes, occasionally sheaf oats instead of hay, and in cold weather an occasional feed of corn. —ljousekeeping Hints.—Never put a particle of soap about your silver, if you would have it retain its original luster. When it wants polish, take a piece of soft leather and whiting and rub hard. The proprietor of one of the oldest silver establishments in the city of Philadelphia says that housekeepers ruin their silver by washing it in soap suds, as it makes it loolrlike pewter. Stove luster when mixed with turpentine and applied in the usual manner, is blacker, more glossy, and more durable than when mixed with any other liquid. Tlie turpentine prevents rust, and when put on art old rusty To extract ink from cotton, silk and woolen goods, saturate tlie spots with turpentine, and let it remain several hours; then rub it between tlie bands. Tlie spots will disappear without injuring either tlie color of the texture of the article.

Care of Irish Potatoes.

It is frequently remarked that no other vegetable is so badly handled and so generally mismanaged as the Irish potato. The evil probably begins with the farmer, who often neglects to dig his potatoes till late in the season, when after the fall rains have set in and thoroughly soaked the ground, a snowstorm perhaps reminds him of the approach of winter. He now sets about harvesting the crop in a hurry; unskilled and careless hands, in separating the potatoes from the wet and sticky soil, cut and hack them badly with their kpeS, and the cry of rotten potatoes is heard throughout the land. The weather has now become lowery and rainy, affording little or no opportunity for drying and removing the mud from the tubers. In this condition they are gathered trp,shoveletinrto baskets from the cart, tumbled into bins in* large quantities as though they were so many stones. In this condition they are allowed to lie and steam foe months, exposed to the light and air of a warm cellar, until those most exposed turn green and are rendered nearly worthless as food. The potatoes sent to market are but little better: in fact, they often become still more bruised and injured. In the first place they are hauled in a loose state for miles—perhaps over a rough road, in a cart or wagon—and pounded and shaken about until the skin is greatly damaged. After arriving in market they are subjected to still furtner injury by being. shoveled into barrels and -boxes and suffered to stand exposed for sale in the open air and sun, or in some warm room, where they are but little better protected. After they have lain for several weeks in this manner they lose Hutch of that dryness and freshness of flavor they have wbea first dug; they become more or less

bad ilavpred, or insipid and soggy. To cap the climax tlie cooks who do not like the looks of hacked, bruised and greenlooking tubers, insist on paring them before they are cooked, a most lamentable practice, notwithstanding, for nearly all that is nutritious in a potato lies within half an inch of the skin. It follows that the hogs get the better part, while men and women have to he satisfied with a great deal of vegetable fiber and a little nutriVneitf.» WTien one is about going to harvest and store a crop of potatoes with a view to preserving their good qualities, in the first place see to it”that they are dug as soon as they are ripe, and when the ground is dry. In digging use a potato hook or fork, hut not a lioe, as it is a bad instrument if you wish to avoid cutting the tubers. Alter allowing the potatoes to lie a short time on the surface to (to, sort them, and place tlie soundest and best in barrel®, heading them tip at once, or put them into small tight bins in a cool cellar, and immediately cover them with sand in order to exclude the light and air as much as possible. Those you wish to keep for summer use gather into pits of twenty bushels each, and give them a covering of long rye straw six inches in thickness and a light covering of earth at first, increasing it at the approach of cold weather, and leaving a small vent at the top of the pits, secured from the liability of wet by a board or some other covering. They should be taken out of the pits in early spring, put into barrels, beaded up and placed in a cool cellar, or ice room, where the temperature is low enough to keep them from sprouting. In all your manipulations handle the tubers as carefully as you would apples. In this manner potatoes may he kept until new ones come again, and he nearly as fresh as when first dug.— N. Y. Herald. Ask for Prussing’s Cider Vinegar and tut.e no other. Warranted to preserve Pickles.

Cholera and Pain-Killer.

Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer.—This unparalleled preparation is receiving more testimonials of its wonderful efficacy in removing pains, than any other medicine ever offered to the public. And these testimonials come from persons of every degree of intelligence, and every rank of life. Physicians of the first respectability, and perfectly conversant with tlie nature of diseases and remedies, recommend this as one of tlie most effectual in their line of preparations for the cure of Cholera, Cholera: Morbus and kindred bowel troubles” now so comman among the people. ■ Stealing Heaven’s Livery.— The great Alcoholless Remedy, Vinegar Bitters, is everywhere driving pestiferous rum potions out of the market. That famous combination of the finest medicinal herbs on the continent of America, is accomplishing such cures of diseases which affect the stomach, the liver, the bowels, the kidneys And the nervous system, that the grateful masses have adopted it as their Standard Specific. The various rum bitters have gone down before this pure vegetable antidote like tenpins before a well-aimed ball. The people have at length discovered that all the spirituous excitants are worse than shams—that both morally and medicinally they are inimical to the well-being and safety of the community. It won't do! The handwriting is on tlie w r all! They are weighed and found wanting. Rum remedies are defunct, and Vinegar Bitters, the Universal Antidote, reigns in their stead. G Edward Haver, Esq., Horton, Kings Co., X. S., writes that an astonishing cure has been effected on his daughter by the use of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. The whole spine became diseased, she lost tlie use of her limbs, and her back was rounded up like a bow, in consequence of taking cold after having been innoeulated for the kine poek. She is now well. 1 Our Headers -should be careful to notice that Procter * Gamble’s Stamp is upon the bars of their Mottled German Soap, as all good arieles are imitated, and this Soap being so popular, other maufaeturers have copied their stamp.

Nature’* Appeal* for Help. Every indication of debility and exhaustion is a mute appeal of natnre for medicinal aid to arrest the progress of decay, now are these silent appeals of physical weakness to the resources of the healing art usually met? Too often, unfortun-' atcly, the drugs prescribed aggravate the symptoms. Whoever recommends drastic purgatives, or mineral salivants, or poisonous alkaloids, under such.circumstances, is an ally of the ailment and an enemy of the patient. Whoever, on'the contrary, advises the broken down afhd desponding sufferer to resort to that peerless vegetable invigorant, Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters, for aid and comfort. is a true philanthropist.

|||s ‘ill Mira Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which arc extracted therefrom without the use of Alcolioi. Tho question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of tho unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and. Invigorator of tho system. Never before in tho history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing tho remarkable qualities of Yineoar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Couuter-Irritaut, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their hones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilions, Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, Which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great river., throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas. lied, Colorado, Brazos, Eio Grande, Pearl, - Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach aud liver, and other abdominal viscera. Tn their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which tha bowels are loaded, at tho same time simulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying .all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in llie Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred oilier painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove n better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Seek, -Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations') Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in nil other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Hitters have shown their great curative powers iu the most obstinate and ihtraelable cases. ‘ For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Goat, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals,-such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters occasionally. - ■; - For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Sall-Rhenm, Blutches, Spots, Pimples, Pnstnles,' Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, “BcE Scurfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the,,use. of these Bitters. * : Fin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in-the system of so many- thonsands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthehniuitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. ——~ —v= For Female Complaints, in young or old, manned or single, at the dawn of womanhood, -or tho turn of life, these Tonic ifWjfirs display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse Die Vitiated Bipod whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cltanse it when you find it obstructed and jluggish in the veins; cleanse it -when it ia foul; your feelings will tell von when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. McUONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, ami cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts., N. Y.
