"Stand From Under."
"SomotniiiK is going to happen, Something is going to be. Tim north-wind teils it to the wild duck,
The wild duck to the sea."
Our quiet, good-natured, and antediluvian cotemporary on the shady corner of .Sixth and Ohio streets, is being a little aroused from the "even tenor of his ways," and evinces some galvanized evidences of life and spirit. The lion threatens to shake the dew drops from his mane, and growls a word of caution to our neighbor of the Journal. If the Journal does not regard that growl, it will be the most reckless of journalistic nincompoops. It is a growl which occurs only semi-occasionally, but woe unto the defiant occupier of the tripod who does not fear and tremble and remain quiet, when that gruffaafl rumbling noise echoes from Sixth street.
To give our readers a clear idea of what is threatened, we take the liberty to transfer to our columns the entire paragraph of the Express, in which the determination is avowed to "tear things:" "Wo desire to say to the home organ of our M. C. that tliere.is no man in the Fnitorl States more inviting to the shafts of personal ridicule than is I). W. Voorliecs and there is no man, woman or girl more keenly sensitive than he is, under such attacks. If, therefore, the organ desires to run this canvass on that line, it may got more than enough of it. Our readers prefer a dignified discussion of measures, rather than ridiculous comments on men. and wo approve their preference. Kut if Voorhees, through his organ or organs, periHsts in personalities, he mav be favored with a few pen pictures sufficiently graphic and interesting to spice the campaign."
The "homeoigan of our M. —and no one dare deny it, and we dare any one to dare deny it—has been "inviting the shafts of personal ridicule," and the time has come to squelch him. He lias said personal things of our candidate, and we hope the "ridicule" will now come. We say, let it come. We repeat it sir, let it come. Already the low utterings of of the growl is heard upon the air, and we hope the Journal's M. C. will now get what he has long desired, a complete smothering with "shafts of personal ridicule." "To the breach, once more, dear Mends, to tlie breach."

That is right. We pat you on the back Mr. Express. We beg the privilege of holding your hat while you present these "pen pictures." We always knew you would do it, after awhile. We know your "readers prefer a dignified discussion of measures" and "we approve their preference." That is dignified, and any other course would be "Infra dignitatem." Rut we are happy, most happy to see that you propose to get aroused, and we know that when you get your dander up, something has to be done.
From the Missouri Democrat.
What lins Congress Done. Grumbling is not a pleasant office. But there are occasions when those only do their duty who protest against the conduct of public servants. The behavior of Congress thus far during the session would be comprehensible were we to suppose that members deliberately designed to disgust the people and to break down the party in power. That the Democratic members have had no higher motive, their actions in several importaut matters have given reason to believe. But they area minority. The Republicans, with more than two-thirds of both Houses, should have been able to overcome any factious obstruction, and to meet the wants of the country.
What did the country want? We all know. In every direction the cry has been raised for 'financial improvement, reduction of taxes, relief to industry. The course of membeis themselves has given proof that they are perfectly aware of this demand. One member after another lins declared that unless it should be satisfactorily met, the public disapproval at at the polls would be such as members would not care to face. Yet what has been done? A funding bill, pronounced utterly unsatisfactory, has been talked through the Senate, but sticks in the House. A currency bill, emerging from that same Senatorial mine of financial wisdom, was greatly improved in the House, but even that promised gain seems now to be defeated by the obstinacy of Eastern interests in the upper House. An eternity of pointless debate and contradictory voting resulted in the defeat of the tariff bill in the House, and then a demagogue's trick Wife devised and passed which the Senate seems likely to kill. A very fair revision and reduction of internal tax laws was carried in the Hou-e, but linked with this tariff abortion, and the Senate has already botched the best of the tariff bill and is trying now to add the worst to the tariff abortion. It seems more than probable that noj financitfl measure, even decently meritorious, will be passed at this session.
Clamorous interests, prostrated by stupid or unjust legislation, have failed to get relief. The shipping interest was throttled by the iron grasp of insatiate iron monopolists. The redistribution of currency, so urgently demanded by tiife West, seems sure to be throttled by the bank monopoly. Attempts to loosen the clutches of the salt and coal swindlers have resulted in reference to that tomb of all sensible measures, the Committee of the Whole. Even the appropriation for Western rivers sticks ominously, as if,
after spending unknown millions for pet interests, Congress had concluded to wind up with economy.
What has "assembled wisdom" done? It has wasted some months in half successful wrangle With the destructives wbo want to prolong war at the South as long as possible, and the evasive Georgia bill which has passed the House has yet to stand the ordeal of that institution in which the most of our legislation is now matured—the Conference Committee. It has expelled Whittemore and excused Butler for selling cadetships. It has fooled away no end of time in the most shameful personalities, and battled over the San Domingo treaty in the Senate. One very important and excellent law, though disfigured by some grave defects, has been passed—the enforcement bill. But the main business of the session has been trying to force through, against the most determined opposition, some of the most gigantic swindles ever devised. The tariff swindle is yet hanging. The seal business and the San Domingo business, asserted to belong to the category of great swindles, are not yet finished. But the most audacious highway robberies— commonly called railroad grants or land grabs—have thus far walked over all opposition. And, by way of giving the the most special reason to grumble, that section has been denied its rightful share of representation in Congress.

President Semis Documents to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 10.—The President sent to the Senate yesterday a mass of documents concerning the seizure of American vessels and the imprisonment and execution of citizens of the United States during the hostilities in Cuba. The State Department furnishes a letter from Secretary Fish, of June 4th, to the Spa iish Minister, calling his attention to the irregular and aibitrary manner in which the persons and properties of our citizens had been taken and held by Spanish authorities in Cuba. Fish recalls to Roberts' recollection the protests of the President last year against Valmaseda's mode of warfare, and against the Captain General's decree forbidding alienation of property on the Island so far as regards American citizens and others: and the decree which followed, extending its provisions. He continues:
The United States Government, with regret, feels forced to say it is informed that tne provisions of the treaty of 1795 on this head lirve not been kept in mind by Cuban authorities during the present struggle, and that the decrees mentioned have been put in operation against the property of American citizens in violation of treaty agreement.
Fish enclosed to Roberts a list of complaints made of such violations, and presents a claim for injuries our citizens have suffered, with the confident hope that the Government of Spain, recognizing its justice will make some proper and suitable provision for ascertaining the amount which should rightfully come to each claimant will also order the immediate lestoration to citizens of the United States of their properties which have been embargoed, and the the release of those citizens of the United States held in custody, or their immediate release under guarantees and with the rights acceded by treaty. As to the future, it is confidently expected steps will be taken to insure against futher violation of the treaty.
Roberts, June 24tli, in effect replied, he has no poWer in this matter, and Fish oh the same day sent a copy of his letter to Roberts to Minister Sickles at Madrid. The latter is instructed to ask for restoration to citizens of the United States of their properties and estates, so far as the same have been arbitaarily embargoed in violation of the provisions of the treaty. He is aiso ordered to endeavor to secure some mode for an early and equitable indemnification and satisfaction to the several parties whose rights have been violated, of the amounts which should rightfully come to each claimant for illegal detention of property or person. He will tay the suggestion is made in the interest of justice and good will, in order to secure a measure of damages in each case which shall be just as between the two Governments. He also is to say it will be extremely desirable the investigations be conducted in this country, and to request that Mr. Roberts or some other person be giveu the necessary authority ou the part of Spain.

Mr. Schenck, from the Committee Ways and Means, reported back the Senate amendment to the tariff and tax bill and moved that they now be concurred in and referred to the Conference Committee. He said that the Committee on Ways and Means did not pretend to say it would recommend non-concurrence in each of the amendments in detail, as there were some of them who thought they ought to be concurred in, but they were satisfied that if reported back the amendment recommending concurrence in some and non-concurrence in others, running over the whole complicated question in all its variety, so much time would be consumed us to render it likely that no bill reducing the taxes would be passed this season.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, opposed the motion and argued that the House should have an opportunity of voting on each amendment. He admitted that a majority of the Committee on Ways and Means had authorized the motion made, but it was a bare majority only, and on that Committee there were but two Revenue Reform men, so they must have the co-operation of some of the members of the majority. The amendments made in the Senate were merely substitutes.
Mr. Schenck thought himself justified in saying, that the majority did not want any bill to pass, that would reduce taxation, and that there were gentlemen on the other side of the house, who, if they thought there was to be an increase on Bessiemer steel to the amount of $80,000, would vote against the bill, even though its general reduction amounted to $80 or 100,000,000.
Mr. Garfield inquired whether the question of the income tax would be sent to the Conference Committee.

Mr. Schenck moved to reconsider the vote rejecting the first amendment of the Senate.
Mr. Schenck moved to lay the motion to recoii»rn-i w" t'r'V^bie. which motion was negatived—72 to 109.
Mr. Schenck opposed the amendment as striking out the tax on juggleries, lotteries and gift enterprises, and abolishing the distinction which the House desired to make between wholesale and retail liquor dealers, the House making the distinction to consist in the character of the business, and the Senate the amount of sales, and also the legislation to use stamps
Mr. Schenck replied that it would, as that was still an open question between the two Houses.
Mr. Garfield inquired whether it was so far open as, that the Conference Committee could abolish the tax altogether.
Mr. Schenck replied that he did not believe it was right for the Conference Committee to ^io that. Mr. Schenck then moved to suspend the rules and non-concur in the 'Senate amendment and order it to the Committee on Conference. The motion was rejected.
Mr. Cullom moved to concur in the first amendment of the Senate, which strikes out the first 34 sections, and also the House bill relating to special taxes, regulations as to stamps, &c., and to substitute for them, five new sections. The motion was rejected and the amendment con-concuired in.
Mr. Dawes, of New York moved to suspend the rules and strike from the bill all relating to the income tax. Negatived bv yeas 67, nays 116.

HAVE THE
GRAIN
DRILL!
(Kulin, the celebrated Drill Inventor's last and best.)
A Force Feed Drill, Operated by Spur Gearing.
NO LOOSE COO WHEELS ABOUT IT!
Impossible to Choke it—The Feed Changed in One Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grain or Seed. Whether Clean or Foul!
The grain is distributed by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under the hopper these wheels carry the grain upward* to a discharge opening in the cup anil force it out, and with it force out straws and other obstructions. It is utterly impossible to choke it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is half chaff, and by turning the wheel it is carried through as well as clean wheat.
It will sow any kind of grain, and in any quantity desired. In other force feed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wheel and put In another and the cog wheels are loose and liable to be lost. In the
FARMERS'FRIEND IRII^I^
the wheels are all fastened to the drill, and the feed is changed by bysir.ipty moving a small lever —it is done in one seco.id.
