THE COTTONY MAPLE 80ALE. Prof. 8. M. Webster, assistant United States entomologist, gives the following description oi the hsbits, mode ot life, increase, etc., of the maple psst which attacked our trees this year, and which may yet piove to he a very destructive insect. He says: "In early spring the female,in an apparently torpid state, may be found on the bark. As spring advances the body becomes swelled, and will be found to cover numerous oblong eggs, tll6 dead body forming a cover. Under this the young hatch, and alter making their escape from this cover, wander over the branches and leaves, inserting fheir beaks and drawing up the sap which nourishes them. As they gradually enlarge in size, they emit Irom the under sile ot the body numerous little white aowny threads, which, fastened to the bark, seive to secure them. The larger ones are females, and in a few days throw off thia covering and become fastened at a scale, and never move afterward. The mailer is the male insect, which finally aetache3 itself and transfor ms to the perfect insect, having two wings which lie on the top of the body. The female increases in size for a time and deposits her eggs, to the number of two hundred, under the cover of her own body. But this not being sufficient to cover them, a white, downy substance issues Irom the hinder part of her body, covers, and imbeds them. The cottony substance is detached, and with the eggs is easily blown about, and is thus spread from tree to tree, to attach itself and found a new colony. The proper time to destroy them is when the young are crawling over the branches, when almost any so lution of soap will kiU them. This is usually during the latter part of May or the first of June. A solution of one quart of common salt dissolved in two gallons oi water, or water in whidh tobacco baa been steeped, has been found effective, and can be supplied by a fcrce pump.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS in an interview the other day said that Blaine would be elected and made this statement about the Independent movement: "As for Schnrz he is a marplot and a professional foreigner, who is not entitled to and who will have no following to speak of."

Thi9 leacte the Chicago News to the following truthful observations: "Of Schnrz, Fred Douglass or any of his race should be the last to speak in the terms he employs. From the time he reached the age of 20 Carl Schnrz has been battling lor personal manhood. He was a leader among the Germans who assisted at ihe formation of the Republican party. Bis first speechs in English were made in Illinois during the senatorial contest between Lincoln and Douglass. He was prominent in the convention which nominated Lincoln in 1860. He fought for the emancipation and eafranchisement oi tha negro with his sword daring the war and with his pen and tongue since. A representative of the colored race who calls Carl Schurz a "marplot and a professional toreignet" to-day hishonors himself."

AN absurd story is running the rounds of the Republican press to the effect that Hendricks is contemplating declining the vice-presidential nomination. "Billee" Chandler, the soft water sovereign of our magnifiotat collection of decaying old tubs, is probably the author of this canard. He would give any amount of "government money to get the pesky and annoying Hendricks out of politics. He doesen't admire Hendricks as a letter writer. He objects to his habit of having something to say and saying i!. -v

NOTIFYING CLEVELAND.

Forsial AiiMCWNt of His Nssilaa ties. ALBANY, July 29.—The rain which had teased at noon-time, set in again about 2 o'clock. Despite the weather P^arl street and Broadway were lined with people standing under shelter of umbrellas. Carriages to the number of forty were provided for the distinguished gen tlemen composing the committees. At abwt 3:35, headed by the band, the phalanx marched up Broadway, followed by the committees in carriages. An immense concourse of people assembled about the Executive Mansion, and the police were stationed about to prevent injurious trespass upon the grounds surrounding the residence. The guests were prompt in arriving, and when the members of the two csmmittees were provided for, there was very little extra space. The ceremony took place in the large and handsome main parlor of the mansion. The only attempt at adornment was seen in the huge banks of flowers which rested on the mantels of the parlor and library. The ceremony was brief, but exceedingly impressive. The arrival of the committees in a body was the signal lor a concentration in the main parlor. There the committee on notification took position in the south end of the room and the members ot the national committee^ in the north. A space was reserved in the center, and as soon as the preparations were completed the governor entered through the main hallway, standing with his back to the flower-banked mantle. The ladies of the party stood near the governor, at his lelt. His appearance at the doorway was the signal for a hearty and spontaneous burst of nand-clapping, which continued fjr several minutes. As soon as this had subsided Col. W. F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, chairman of the late Democratic national convention and of the notification committee, stepped slightly forward and addressing the governor in a clear, resonant tone delivered his address as follows

COL. VILAS' ADDRESS.

Grover Cleveland, Governor of the State of New York: '--L. These gentlemen," my associates here present whose voice I am honored with the suthority to utter, area committee appointed by the National Democratic Convention, which recently assembled in Chicago, and were charged with the grateful duty ot acquainting you officially and in that solemn and ceremonious manner which the dignity and importance of the comiutinication demand, with the interesting result of its denotations already known through the ordinary channels oi news. Sir, the august body, conyened by direct delegation from tne Democratic people of the several states and territories of the republic, and deliberating under the witness oi the greatest assembly ot freemen ever gathered to such a conference, have nominated you to the people of these United States to be their President tor the next easuing term ot that great office, and with the grave consideration of its exalted responsibilities have confidently invoked their suffrages to invest you with its functions. Through this committee the convention's high requirement is delivered, that you accept tnat candidacy. The choice carries with it profound persocal respect and admiration, but it has been in no manner the tTUit of these sentime&ts. The national Democracy seek a president, not in compliment for what tbe men i, or reward tor what ne has done, but in a just expectation of what he will accom-

Slish

as the true servaat of a free people, tor their lotty trust. Always of momentous consequence, they conceive the public exigency to be now of a tran scendent importance that a laborious reform in administration as well as legislation is imperatively necessary to tbe prosperity and honor of the republio, and a competent chief magistrate must be of unusual temper and power. The? have observed with attention your execution ot the public trusts you have held, especially of that with which you are now so honorably invested. They place their reliance for tbe usefulness of the services they expect to exact for tbe benefit of the nation upon the evidence derived from the services you have performed for the state of New York. They invite the electors to such proof of character and competence to justify their confidence that in the nation, as heretofore in the state, the public business will be administered with commensurate intelligence and ability, with single hearted honesty and fidelity and with a resolute and daring fearlessness which no faction, no combination, no power ot wealth, no mistaken clsmor can dismay or qualify. In the spirit of the wisdom and invoking the benediction of the Bivine Creator of men, we challenge from the sovereignty of this nation his words in commemoration and ratification ef our choice:''Well done, thou good and faithful servant thou has been faithful over a lew things, I will make the ruler over many things.'' In iurther fulfillment of our duty tne secretary will now present the written communication signed by the committee.

GOV. CLEVELAND'S ACCEPTANCE. MB. CHAIBHAN AND GENTJLKMEN OF THE COMMITTEE: Your formal announcement does not of course convey to me the first information of the result of the convention lately held by tbe Democracy of the nation, and yet when I listen to your message 1 see about me representatives from all parts of the land of the great party which, claiming to be the party of the people, asks them to entrust to it the administration ot their government. And when I consider, under the influence df the stern reality which the present surroundings create, that 1 have been Chosen to represent the

K'

May

ms, purposes and the policy of the mocratic party, 1 ata profoundly, impressed by the solemnity ot the occasion and by the responsibility of my position. Though I gratefully appreciate it, I do not at this moment congratulate myself upon the distinguished bonor which has been conferred upon tne, because my mind is foil ot an -anxious desire to perform well the part which has bsen assigned to me. Nor do I at this moment forget that the rights and interests ot more than fifty millions of my fellow-citizens are involved in our efforts to gain Democratic

supremacy. This reflection presents to my mind the consideration which, more than all others, gives to the action of my party, in convention aasemUed, its most solemn ana serious aspect. The party and its representatives wnich asked to intrusted at the hands of the people with tbe keeping •. all th&t coneerns their welfare and their safety, should only ask it with the full appreciation of the sacredness of the trust and with a firm resolve to administer it faithfully and well. I am a Democrat because I believe that this truth lies at tbe foundation of true Democracy. I have kept the faith because I believe if rightly and fairly administered and applied, Democratic doctrines and measures will inanre the happiness, contentment and prosperity ol tbe people. If in the contest upon which we now enter, we steadrastiy hold to the un derlying principles of our party creed, and at all times keep in view the people's good, we shall be strong, because we are true to ourselves and because the plain and independent voters of tbe land will seek by their suffrages to compass their release from the party of tyranny, where there should be submission to tbe popular will, and their protection from party corruption where there should be devotion to the people's interests. These thoughts lend a consecration to our cause, and we go forth, not merely to gain a partisan sdvantsge. but pledoed to give tj those who trust us the utmost benefits and honest administration of national affairs. No higher purpose or motive can stimulate us to supreme eflort. or urce us to continuous and earnest labor and eff ctive party organization. Let ns not fail iu tbis and we mav confidently hope to reap the full reward of patriotic services well performed. I have thus called to mind some simple truths|md trite thoughts} though they are, it seems to me we do do well to awell upon them at this time. I shall, toon 1 hope, signify in tbe usual formal manner my acceptance ot the nominstion which has been tendered to me. In the meantime I gladly greet you all HS co-workers in a noble cause.

INCIDENTS OF THE OCCASIOn. The governor's reply was extemporaneous and not without evidence ol deep earnestness and teeling. He seemed to realize the weight of the responsibility which rested on his shoulders as the standard bearer of the party. The address was not only a model one in thought, but was delivered with rare grace and effect The congratulations tnat were eho «ered on hioi by the many distinguished leasers oi the party at the close of the oeremonies were sincere and bearty. After som. time spent in socia) interchange, tbe doors of tbe dining room were swung open and refreshments partaken cf. ....

PREPARING TO NOTIFY HENDRICKS

The Csrenosyat Saratoga. SAHATOEA, July 30.— A pait of the committee appointed by the recent Democratic National Convention for tbe purpose of notifying candidates of their nomination, arrived last night snd the balance tbis morning. Hendricks is at tbe Grind Union Hotel and the com niltee held a private consultation at 11:30 to take action on the matter. A committee consisting of Vilas, ot Wisconsin, Waller, of Connecticut, Hooktr, of Mississippi, and Stock on, of New Jersey, was appointed to confer with Hendricks and learn which would be the most feasible bourto make the formal notification. Tbe committee returned and stated that Hendricks would be ready at 2 o'clock and the ceremonies would tak* place in the large parlor at that time.

Waller, of Connecticut, introduced, a resolution extending thanks to W. F. Vilas, chairman, and Nicholas M. Bell, secretary of the committee, for the digni fled and intelligent manner in which tney performed their duties.

The Ceremony.

SARATOGA N. Y. July 30,—Long before the honr for tbe ceremony to take place, the parlor of the hotel was filled with handsomely dressed ladies and gentlemen seared in a circle aroend the space reserved for tie committee. At 2:10, amid lofid applauss irom the guests tbe committee marched in and stood in a circle and immediately after Mr. Hendricks followed and took a position in tbe center. Upon hs arrival Cnairman Vila9 de liveitd the following address: "Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana.

Tbe great national council of the constitutional Democracy ot the Union held at Chicago within this month of July constituted this ccmmittee now before by the selection from each of the several states and territories of our country and commissioned it as the official name oi the party to c'eclare to you in fitting teress and with appropriate ceremony, not only in te stimony oi its respect for your abilities and character but in pledge of is consideration ot its interests of tbe nation, that you have been nominated by that party lo the people to be their vicePrtsidectof tbe United States for the ensuing term of that exalted trust.

The convention ielt as the cation will approve that it was serving the spirit of tne constitution when it designated for a Vice-President a citizen worthy and competent to execute the highest functions of its chief Magistracy. It is an especial desire of the Democracy, sir, to see VOJ invested with this psrtieulsr dignity beesuse they knew, as know all tbe world, that once you were rightfully given a title to it by tbe people and wrongfully denied its possession by the success of the machination of fraud and conspiracy and vindication of exact justice will be most complete when yon shall be reelected ana that you may be now triumphantly inaugurated to your rightful chair of office. This Sentiment has given direction to the personal consideration and admiration of Democracy so abundantly manifested in the recent convention.

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZMTE.

Col. Vilas was followed Mr. Bell,by sec. retary of the committe. who read an ad. dreis prepared by the committee.

HENDBICKS' KEPLY.

Mr. Hendricks replied as follows: "MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMBN or THE COJQUTTEE:

I cannot realize that a man ahonld ever stand in the presence of a committee

a more august body of men

than that which yon represent. In the language of another: "The convention was large in numbers, august in culture and patriotic in sentiments," and may I nol add to that that because of the power and the greatness and 'the virtues and tbe party which it lppresented, it was itself and in every re reect a very great convention. [Apapause.] Delegates came from all" the states and territories and I believe, too, from the District of Columbia. They came clothed with authority to express judgment and opinions upon all these questions which are not settled by constitutional law, for the purpo of passing on these questions and selecting a ticket for the people.

I know thai sometimes it is understood this particular office, that of vice-Presi-dent does not involve much respouibilily, and as a general thing that is so, but sometimes it comes to represent very great responsibility and may be so in tbe near future- for at this time the Senate of the United States stands almost equally divided between the two great parties and it may be those two great parties shall so exactly differ that thevicePresident oi the United States shall have to decide upon questions of law by the exercise of the canting vote.

It may also occur under circumstances of some difficulty that the president of the Seoate will have to take hia part in the counting of the electoral vote and allow me to say that that duty is not to be discharged in obedience to any set of men or any party, but in obedience to higher authority. (Applause.)

SALEOFlNDS.

Disposal of $155,000 of the Coort House Bonds to McKeen & Co.

Particulars Attending the Transaction of the Affair.

Tbe sale ot $156,000 ot the Vigo eoun« ty court house bonds to the local banking firm of McKeen & Co., at 95 cents without commission, was msde known this morning by County Treasurer Raj, who effected tbe sale. The Express in its local columns tries to mauvf icture political capital out of the fact and praises Mr. Ray, a Republican, for selling the bonds at that rate. At the came time it seeks to make it appear that the county commissioners, who are Democrats, know nothing about financiering and that, but for the ingenious manipulations of Mr. Ray, then would occur what it calls

ua

botch" in the negotiations. It is not the GAZETTE'S intention to detract anything from the work of Mr. Rsy.

A few facts in the band negotiations will, however, be refreshing: mien Harris & Co., filed their proposal to take the bonds, the contract was not closed with them, although they were the lowest bidders, as the board very discreetly wanted time to learn of the firm's standing before doing so. In the meantime the financial flurry in New York arose and tbe commicaioners decided, inasmuch as Harris & Co ., did not propose to tske all the bonds at once, thst tne firm deposit at least $5,000 in the First National Bank as a guarantee of the faithful performance of their offer, the board agreeing to allow them interest therecn whLe the same remained in the bank. This proposal Harris ft Co. did not acoept, and the record of that day's proceedings was never completed but remains open to this day. No attempt was made by tbe board to keep the matter quiet, although Mr. Ray may not have known jch about it, as he was sought for at the time and could not be found neither in hs office or in the city.

Five thousand dollars of the bonis were negotiated and dispesed of at 95% cents, in accordance with an'arrangement effected by the commissidneh, and tbey were not sold at 95 cents, as stated by the Express. Neither do the bonds run thirty years, but the last bonds mature in twenty-four yean.

It is«an open question whether the se'ling of the bondB at 95 cents is a matter of congratulation for the county, as only last week the commissioners borrowed money so as to meet the court house estimates until such time as the money market got better. Some very good financial authorities gave it as their opinion to the board that such securities were getting better, and that the bonds would not be long in finding ready takers. With neaily $18,000 in the court house fund it is not absolutely certain that tbe «ale was wise, ts Mr. Ray gave the purchasers, besides the five per cent discount, over $1,100 accumulated interest on the bonds.

The object of the commissioners in borrowing money was to give Mr. Ray a better market in which to sell the bonds. The market has an upward tendency. One week *go they would only have brought 93 cents and now they bring 95 cents. There was no urgent need of tbe money for some time.

Tbe commissioners did not send unt the circulars to the banking firms, as stated in the Express, but Mr. Bay did. The law is that it is (be sole duty of the County Treasurer £o sell the county bonds and the point ic the Express, uttere 1 as if in a boast, tbat Mr. Ray conducted the sale on his own account and tbat the commissioners u'd know nothing of it unil this morning, is therefore pointier. He sold the bonds as it was his duty to do and his only.

CbemUta bava found that fifty »p«r cent, ol the bit king powdera analyzed are adulterated, alum forming a prominent part of some of them, which makes such powder* unlit for use. Articles like Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder are tbe oafoat to use, as tney never en danger tbe public health.
