HON. H. D. Swoope, lulls paper—
The Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph
—denies that he is a candidate for
the United States Senate ! He fur
thermore states that he is•Jn favor of
Senator Scott being his own successor
in that body, and that he believes
him to be the ablest representative
Pennsylvania ever had in the United
States Senate.
THE anti-Butler people in Massa
chusetts seem to be recruiting their
forces quite rapidly of late. We will
not be surprised, therefore, to see
Butler shelved, at the Coming State
Convention of the Republican party.
He is making a desperate fight for
the Governorship of his State, while
the better men in the party are
cluing all they can to avert such a
calamity.
AFTER all, our Alaska purchase of
'll few years ago, may turn out to be
quite a profitable investment. It is
stated that our army officers whbare
stationed there have recently foirnd
valoable deposits of gold, and infor
mation to that effect has been for
warded te the CoMmissioner of the
General Land office at Washington.
If this ex hileratiug news is corrobor
ated, and other discoveries are made,
we may soon witness a rush to our
new Posszsions equalled only by
that made to California twenty
or twenty-five years ago. Fortune
lithiters in general, and gold seekers
in particular, will await with fever
ish anxiety for additional news from
that locality.
MR. ELIZUR WRIGHT, a promi
nent Bostonian, s writes a letter to
the New York Tribune, In which he
takes the rather queer position that
there should be no right of action
against an editor for libel "except on
an affidavit that the editor has re
fused either to retract publicly, or to
admit, in conspicuous type, an an
swer to the alleged libelous matter,
of at least equal or reasim' able
length." ThiS is even a more liberal
view of the rights and duties of pub
lic journals than they have heretofore
demanded. It is undoubtedly based
upon the ground that newspapers
owe it to the public to gather news
from the best sources at their com
mand, and that when, in the bona
tide endeavor to protect society, they
publish libelous matter without mal
ice, they should not be punished for
malice. After all we are not sure
but that Mr. Wright's plan would
work well. Oblige an editor to make
a retraction or two and he Will soon
learn to grow more cautious in the
matter and manner of his attacks
upon any one.
Da. A. V. CUNNINGHAM of N I .
ixtiAtgrAfiltllfti l ikliTig Republican
of. Butler county, writes a lengthy
communication for the Butler Eagle
of last week. Its purport will be
seen from the following which we
clip from it:
Mn. EDITOR:—In looking over the
proceedings of the. Republican Conven
tion, which recently convened in Butler,
1 notice we had been "remiss, inadver
tently, however, in respect to one or two
very important points. First ; in not
censuring Mr. E. W.funkin, the present
incumbent from this district in Con
gress, for recording his vote in favor of
the salary grab and its retroactive fea
ture; Secondly, in not giving some ex.
preSsion of our disapprobation of the
scheine to which our State Senators, Itu
tam Graham and Wallace resorted in
committee; to obtain from the State
treasury $43,000 with which the two for
mer and Mr. Davis, of Berks county,
sailed for Vienna, at the expense of the
tax -payers of this commonwealth. Now
shall Butler county by her silence pro
`claim to the world that she endorses ,
such acts in her Representatives? or
shall she, as her sister counties have
done..detiounce these foul and venal acts
es the most flagrant injustice to their
constituents—and as a base betrayal of
the eonfidence reposed in them?
MST spring Bro. Curtis wrote
leader after leader for the Radical in
favor of Local Option. In fact he
was a ruling spirit, publicly, in fur
thering the cause of temperance in
this county. But what was heL all
the while doing, secretly to aid the
other side? Just this: he was print
ing and furnishing the whiskey men
„of the several townships and bor
oughs of this county with tickets to
kill Local Option. Whether he
took pay for these ballots, or whether
he provided them as his contribution
filhecause, we are not at present
advised.
Just now he is openly supporting
the whole Republican county ticket,
while not a few discerning men be
lieve that he is secretly helping to
get one or two Democrats elected to
snug, fat offices, at the October elec
tion. Republican candidates at all
events, may safely conclude that AIL
editor who cannot be trusted on the
tempetunce question, cannot be re
lied upon in'u political fight. That
much is sure.
' TIIE papers in the ease of Annk
Eliza Webb Young, praying for a di
vorce. from Brigham Young, were
served on Wednesday, at Salt Lake
City. The main points of the com
plaint are embraced in the following
summary: The plaintiff avers that
she is a wife of defendant; was mar
rd on the 6th of April. 186:3;_ has
two children by a former marriage;
has no personal property or means
of living; for one year after her mar
riage defendant lived with her; since
then he has almost entirely deserted
her; defendant sent her and her chil
dren to live on n faOn four miles
from Salt Lake City ~,Where she had
for her only oampanion her mother;
had to do menial work, dressing
coarsely and faring badly; defendant
visited her occasionally, but never
remainediaver half an hour; treated
her with scorn and contempt, and e",;..-
acted the earnings ofthe farm; in the
fall of 1872, by direction of the defen
dant, the plaintiff took up her resi
dence in Salt Lake City, which she
had been compelled to leave for want
of support and fear of violence from
defendant; has called upon defendant
frequently for maintenance, 'but has
been refused; - is in feeble health and
under medical treatment; been
obliged to sell her furniture to meet
current expenses. The reply is set
down for August sth.

phia do ggery keeper. who aided in

lector, 3 o death in that city. a few
years ago, was nominated for the
Legislavaire bythe Republicans some
weeks since. His nomination prov

TIME is always a great deal of
ockeying at our county fairs; when
horses arc starting in order to test
their weed. The spectators grow
impatient at the numerous efforts
made to "get away," and not unfre
quently the word "go” is uttered
when the unfairness of the start is
clearly preceptible to all. A gentle-.
man attending the Saratoga 'races a
couple of weeks ago, writes; as fol
lows to the N. Y. Tribune, and we
cannot help but see good sense in
what he says:
Now I have a suggestion to make.
Instead of all this nonsense about start;
_big, why not bring all the horses up and
have them toe the line. as men do when
they run? When the flag drops let them
go, and if a horse won't go let him stay,
and the race go on without him. This
would be fair for every one, and no
grumbling could come in. There's al
ways more "chinning" about "unfair
starts" than over anything else in a 'lice.
It may be urged that some horses
won Idn' t start. Then keep the stubborn
brutes off the track; if a horse won't go
when he's wanted to, I see no particular
need of perpetuating the breed. That
particular strain of blood which prompt's
a horse to stand still when you want
him ,to go, and go when you want him
to stand still, can be dispensed with. I
have bad several such horses in tn)
time, and their hides invariably brought
g 3 apiece, quite as much as any other
horses' hides. They were said to make
excellent trunk straps.
THE REPUBLICANS of Virginia at
their State Convention, held in
Lynchburg on the 31st ult. nominat
ed Col. Hughes, a native Virginian
for Governor, and C. P. Ramsdell
esq. formerly of Venango county,
this State, for Lieutenant , Governor.
Col. Hughes - was for many years
editor of the Richmond Exaniiner,
and his associate on the ticket—
Ramsdell—was also for a long time
connected with the newspapers of
Franklin and Oil city. We believe
he established the Citizen at the first
named place, and we are sure that he
founded the Monitor at the latter, for
we succeded him in its ownership
and management. and we can truth
fully say that a more worthless and
unproductive property never fell
into our hands. We gave him a
house, and we believe. eight lots of
ground in an Ohio town for that
printingoffice, and if it was ever
worth $1 from the time C. P. Rams
dell started it until Capt. H. S. Dow,
ran it "into the ground," that fact
has never flashed itself upon our
mind. To make a long story short,
the coming Lieut. Governor of Vir
ginia, cheated us. so to speak, "out
of our eyes," and to this day he has
never made any sort of restitdtion.
Under these circumstances, if we
lived in the Old Dominion, we don't
believe we would tell the natives
theitflat Jr. Ramsdell was one of
the most truthful men we ever
knew.
„. v
usuatty sma reduction in the p
lie debt during July is explained by
Secretary Richardson as resulting
from the'heavy payments made un
der several appropriations which
were not available until the Ist of
July or beginning of the fiscal year.
Disbursing officers and others au
thorized to make expenditures have
been prompt to avail themselves of
the public funds at their disposal,
and much more than a proportionate
amount of the' total appropriations
have been-drawn from the Treasury.
Among the facts disclosed by thede
tailed statement of the debt, as made
up by the Treasury officials,, is, that
of the $50,000,000 called-in bonds
which have been presented by the
Syndicate; $31,000,000 have been ex
amined and an equal amount of call
ed bonds cancelled, leaving about
$19,000,000 now in the custody of the
Department. The coin in the Treas
ury has diminished about $7,000,000
and the currency nearly $500,000 du
ring the Month. The Government
payments of interest on the Pacific
Railroad bonds having amounted to
$2,000,000 during July, making the
total sum paid for the interest on Pa
cific Railroad bonds $21,500,000, or
$16,006,000 more than the roads have
repaid by the transportation of
troops and mails. The legal tender
circulation still continues at $356,-

THE Liberal Republicans, and
such,of the Democrats is Ohio, as are
known as tho "Allen county Depart
urista," held a State Convention ut
Columbus, on Wednesday of last
week.
The Comm ittee on Nominations repor
titd the following ticket, which was adop
ted by the Convention;
For Goveruor—lsaac C. Collins, of
Hamilton, "Democrat."
For Lieutenant Governor—A. Saun
ders Plait, of Logan, "Liberal."
For Attorney General—Seraphim My
ers, of Stark, Lib.
For Supreme Judge--P. B. Ewing, of
Tanfered, Dem.. and D . W. C. Louden,
of Brown, Lib.
Board of Public Worts—James
hießetb. of Allen, Dem.
rprtlo.ateTrimsurer , —.Tonettma
matt, ofltiontitotnery, Dem . •
Comptroller of Treasury—C. P. L
Butler, of Franklin, Dew.
In response to an Invitation from the
Convention, Hon. Tom Ewing made a
short speech. In the course of bis re
marks be said experience has demon
strated -that, no matter bow disaffected
Republicans may be in their own rankm,
few or none can be recruited to the
Democratic party. In 1868, a movement
was started looking to the organiza
tion of
A NEW NATIONAL PARTY
Republicans went into it, but learning
that it would retain the Democratic
name, they went back upon it. Any
time from 18613 'to 1871 we could have
overthrown the Republican party, but
for the prejudice of Republicans to the
name of "Democrat." We were forced
into the last campaign to conclude, that
no Democrat, as anon, could be nomina
ted who would be elected, and so we
surrendered to the Liberals. and let
them carry the colors. Ail these events
have forced me, though most reluctant
ly, to the conclusion that the Democrat.
is party is powerless and ineffective as
art ally.and not a fit instrument of reform
in American politics. Most Democrats
have not come to this conclusion. They
still preserve the name, and they cher
ish it with an altnost religious fervor.
The Association of a lifetime, memories
of its splendid triumphs, firmly endears
it to them, and they will abandon it at
no man's dictate. Look at its history,
and then tell me if you wonder that life
long Democrats cling to it. Let us In.
this campaign act together. Your nem/
illation is moat excellent. and the Dem . -
ocratic party can fully subscribe to your
platform. It places the cutting from the
Democratic party solely upon the
ground of inefficiency, and I see no rea
son why the Democratic Convention,
which meets on the 6th of August, can
not endorse your ticket. Comtined we
are irresistible. Let us go into the fight
shoulder to shoulder and win victory.
When victory is wort the question Must
be settled whether or not the Democrat
ic party shall be preserved,
.or a .now
party enter the field for the purification
of onr government and the preservation
of our free itudltutions.
111111M1 AND THERE.
—There Seems to be no ,bound to
the Wandering habits of the average
American. Incidentally, we learn
the whereabouts of a journalist who
was at one time a member of the
California Legislature, then a saw
mill "superintendent," then an im
porter of marriageable young women
from New-England to Washington
Territory. This roving genius, •inx.
W. F. Watkins, is now hunting for
gold in Terra del Fuego.
,No pent
up Utica contracts his powers.
--Wasn't this a pleasant thing for
poor Porter Pierce ofSouthport, Me.?
Heis always in his schooner fishing,
leaving two men to get in his hay,
and they have got it in with a ven
geance, though there Is no hay in
the barn now, because they would
smoke their pipes there. The barn,
hay and home are all in ashes, and.
Inasmuch as It never rains without
pouring, the insilrance on the prop
erty, valued at $2,000, ran out a few
days since. Probably Pierce, upon
his return, will express himself
strongly upon the smoking question.
—The manner of restraining the
playful impetuosity ofSoutherngen
tlemen while at church is very
graceful and picturesque. Not with
calm and tepid words does a Texas
preacher rebuke an unduly game
some flock. No; the worthy man to
whom specially we refer stopped his
sermon, the other day, raised a con
venient rifle, and observed warmly
'in a spirtt of love, "William Dello.
sit down or I'll make it painful for
you." The slightly obstreperous
William immediately took this mild
hint and sat him down to quiet en
joyment of his Christian privileges.
—lt was not very wise in a young
Oregon lady to discard her affianced
because he quarreled with a toll-gate
keeper about sixpence. Girls should
know by this time that men who are
saving of sixpences do not by any
means make bad husbands. How
could the Oregon damsel be sure that
the lover was not keeping the six
pence that he might buy with it a
"bunch of blue ribbon to tie up her
bonny brown hair?" If beauty and
gtace will be so expensive, isn't it
the height of ingratitude tosnub men
for saving? The lady surely didn't
want her gallant to be in love with
the toll keeper.
—lf a young man cannot pay his
board-bill, and has no reasonable
prospect of being able to pay it, we
are inclined to think it his Christian
duty to abscond. He need not, how
ever, add insult to injury, like the
youth who lately left his bed and
board in Rutland, Vt., without pay
ing for either. This wretch had not
been long gone when his defrauded
landlady received the following ex
asperating billet: "Miss A.—Please
do not worry about me. Again I
enjoy the comforts of a home. My
present hashmaker improves on you
considerable." It is a nice, moral
question whether a defaulter has a
right to sneer aCany hash, however
miscellaneous, which he has not
paid for.
—There may be ninny variations
of the Enoek Arden'Atoty. A long
lost husband the otheeday suddenly
returned to St. Louis to find his wife
residing with another man. The
ayralfti s listisn zesgrin
died state, and therefore not pleas
ing to look at. Wherefore the cruel
and faithless wife brought his head
and a pitcher into close contact and
fractured both. Then, with the as
sistance of that other person, she
tried to throw the Lost and Found
out of a three-story window. By
this time he began to think that he
might as well have not come home
at all, especially as the police locked
his wife up in the station house.
—The ways in which poor, harm
less wives are deceived by marble
hearted husbands are many and
dreadful;—and among the most
dreadful cases of deception is this,
which we grieve to relate. An Indi
ana wife, wearing only half a dozen
pounds or so of somebody else's
hair upon her head, became convinc
ed that lite wouldn't be worth hav
ing without the addition of a pound
of two to the mass. Acting upon
this conviction, she soon, by a series
of conversations, persuaded her husx
band that his life wouldn't be worth
having unless the said addition were
immediately made. Capitulating
gracefully, he sent home two
"switches" from which the fair lady
was to make her selection. But
mark the w:ckedness of this aban
doned man! Before dispatching
them he carefully changed pie tags
upon which the price was marked,
putting the twenty-five dollar tag
upon the ten dollar switch, and riee
versa. After a strict and severe ex
amination of the two switches by his
trusting wife and all her feminine
friends, the one marked $2.5 was nat
urally enough chosen. And that
wretc bed man, that penurious fiend,
exulted over his treachery to that
gentle, lovely woman.
—A phantom railway train is
something new, and beats the phan
tom, ship in impressive solemnity.
Aeemding to" the Scranton (Pa.)
Free Press, since the completion of
the northern division of the D., L.
and W. Railway, many accidents
have occurred in the neighborhood
of Factoryville. There is a deep
"nil" just south of the depot, and
engines, trains and passengers have
rolled down the embankment.
There is a sharp curve and deep cut
north of the depot, through which
the melancholy wind is always
whistling and wailing. Some say
that this is specially to be heard on
the anniversary of one of the most
fatal of the accidents, and that an
unsubstantial train filled with ghost
ly pimengers is then seen passing
along the rail with the speed of the
wind, while the shrill shrieks of men
and women break on the stillness of
the night. The editor of the Free
Press avers that be has often heard
this sound as of an approaching
train, and been deceived by it.
"There is the long roll as it moves
on a straight line; the short puffs as
the engine labors up grade, and the
quick click! click! as it turns around
a short curve." These sounds were
never noticed, until after the fatal ac
cidents; now, "the wailing, dying.
groaning sound is nightly heard, but
never in the day time." There must
be something in it, for the proprietor
of the hotel near by bears testimony
that frequently the hungriest guests,
hearing the sound, leave the supper
table fur fear of losing the down
train. A pretty story and a nice lit
tle subject for a poem in ten stanzas.
We look for "The Phantom Engine,"

/moult, niss.
In reply to the numerous inquir-i
les made by friends of education rel
ative to the condition of the schools.
it Is gratifying to me to he able to
say that the educational progress of
our county during the past year is
very encouraging.
Marked progress is manift:
Ist.: In the number of new and
substantial buildings that have been
erected during the year.
2d. In the increased demand for
the best teachers, and an expressed
willingness to compensate them for
their service.
ad. In the complete success of our
"County Institute."
HOUSES.
Seven new houses have een built
during the last year. One n Greene,
one in Big Beaver, one in New Sew
ickley and four • in Chippewa.
The houses built In Chippewa de
serve special notice, as being of the
mast substantial and beautiful rural
school buildings in the county, and
reflect credit upon the directors as
well as the contractor. Boards of di
rectors expecting to build would do
well to examine them before con
tracting. The houses in Chippewa
and Greene are furnished with the
"improved school furniture," and I
hope every district In the county
wilt follow their example. The
house in New Sewickley has too
many windows and not enough
black-board 'surface. There should
be at least one hundred square feet
of black-board in every school room.
There are twenty houses in the coun
ty that are unfit for use, I am glad to
know that a number of them will be
removed during the coming year,
and their places filled with new ones.
GROUNDS.
But comparitively few of the
school houses in the county have
"sufficient grounds," one half acre at
the very least should be set apart
for a play ground for the pupils of
every school, many are without the
necessary outbuildings, However, I
sin glad to say in this connection
that a number of the districts are
moving in this matter. lam sorry
to record the fact that many very
handsome grounds naturally are per
mitted to remain as a barren waste.
If directors would only build suita
ble fences around the school grounds
the enterprise which I see manifested
in many of the schools, warrant me
in saying that the necessary shade
tree; and other improvements would
soon follow. I was frequently pain
ed during my visitation of schools
to see the cruelty which was inflicted
upon pupils in many instances in re
quiring them to occupy henehes not
at all adapted to the size of the pu
pils. In some instances they have
to sit all day upon a beuch so high
that it is impossible for them to put
their feet chaithe floor, while in other
Instances the laws of health are vio
lated in having the desk entirely too
low for the seat behind it, thus caus
ing the pupil to sit in a position
which has a constant tendency to
contract disease of the lungs.
The laws of hygiene have been care
fully studied by the inventors of the
improved school furniture and every
violation thereof has been studious
ly avoided.
Viewing it in a financial sense,
1 they are much cheaper in the end
1 than the old style of furniture which
is rapidly disappearing from our
school rooms. There are one hun
dred and eighty-eight (168) schools
in the county all of which I visited
once during the past year, and forty
were visited the second time. There
are fifty-one graded schools, and
nine more needed. The advantages
of graded schools are becoming more
apparent as the system approximates
to perfection; and it is patent to ev
ery observer that progress is much
greater in them than in the mixed
schools.
The system of graded schools 'need
` I - 6*g; bilraliqlifillytllstflitinelird
wants of villages and densely popu•
lated districts. villag es
ever a sufficient
number of pupils—say sixty or sev
enty-five—can be collected together,
even should the distance to travel be
a little greater, the advantages of
more rapid progress will more th.ti
doubly compensate them for this in
convenience. Experience has es
tablished this fact beyond a doubt.
Boards of directors should give this
subject a careful consideration before
locating new school houses, and en
deavor to carry out the spirit of the
law in this regard.
Another feature in the system of
graded schools which is already re
ceiving the attention of the educated
portion of our directory is theca
"central high schools." This great
coin nsownealth can no longer afford
to have the great mass of its citizens
in the rural districts receive only a
limited education. It can no longer
permit to remain uncultivated the
talent which has lain dormant in
many of its most valued citizens for
want of an opportunity for its prop
er development. With the present
facilities for education in the rural
district, many "lovers of love" are
deprived of the opportunity of at
tending a high school, for want of
the necessary means to defray the
expenses incident to such a course;
and in consequence of this tife obli
ged to occupy but a limited and cir
cumscribed sphere in usefulness.
This great barrier can be removed
by the establishment of such schools
as are here referred to.
In many of the ,districts in the
e
county, all of thold houses will be
removed and new ones built in , thefr
stead. In such instances directors
should duly consider the advantages
of such an arrangement and build
with a view to the tUtUre instead of
the present wants, and wherever vil
lages of sufficient size rind situated
near the centre of the district, have
a sufficient number of pupils to re
establish schools of two grades In the
same building it, will be found ,to be
much cheaper and give far better
satisfaction than to support two Sep
arate mixed schools.
Take for example Isogstown, Id
dependent, Hopewell, Greene,lndus-` ,
try, Ohio, Darlington. North Sewick
ley and many othera.l; Indeed. al
most every district In theeounty, by
a proper arrangement could accom
modate those desiring a high school
education at a merely nominal ex
pense, besides" giving to such pupils
the incalculable benefits of home in
fluence.
But within the limits of this re
port, I can only simply refer to the
advantages of such a course as has
been suggested. •
The "County Institute" was held
in the Court House in Beaver during
the week commencing December 16,
1872. Prof. F. A. Allen was the
principal instructor. One hundred
and forty-nine teachers were enroll
ed. I was pleased to have the ea-op
eration of Prof. R. T. Taylor, Presi
dent of Beaver College, Ito/. W. G.
Taylor, ofAhe Phillipsburg ''S. 0.
School," and their valuable assist
ants. Lectures were delivered, and
many valuable suggestions made by
Prof. P. A. Allen, S. B. Wilson,
esq., Rev. W. H. Locke, Rev. D. P.
Lowery, Profs. Whitham, Nays,
Missimer and others. The institute
was one of the largest and most In•
teresting ever held in the county.
We extract the following from
the last annual catalogue of the Bea
ver College, the most prominent in
stitution of learning in our county,
which shows that our prospects for
the elevation of our teachers and
consequently of the profession are
hopeful for the future:
NORMAL DEPARTMENT
"There being no normal school in
this district, the Trustees have open
ed this department and are deter
mined to make the training of the
teachers hereafter a special feature of
the'College. It is their intention to
provide hero all the advantages for
the preparation of teachers for their
work that can anywhere be found."
I desire to add that the Trustees
are now completing additions to
. ,
.. . .. . _
their bbildinnt 'anti:penis of
ty thousand dollars..
Besides additional dotinit
this will supply the school wi
spacious hall, 'superior school
recitation rooms, with society,
ry and reading rooms, &c.
Frankfort, and Darlington, ac
mles, Beaver. 'and" New Brigt
seminaries. and Kenwood
school for boys, are all good
and furnish anntudlyplargent
of teachers. I .
ft
Phillipsburg "Soldiers' 0 han
School" is in it Very flourishing ndt
tlon, and ranks among the fl t of
i t
the kind in the State. _
One of the greatest dlsativa gas
under which the system of co mon
schools labors, is the want of more
thorough normal training of each
era. Aud it is to be earnestly o iled
that the legislatures of our Ste will
at an early date make the fieclesary
provisions for the • establishm t of
County Normal will it is
believed would he the means f do
ing a far greater good than pos
sibly be accomplished by the esent
system of "State Normal ools"
' located in a limited number f "dis
tricts" in the State.
By reference to the statist! l table
accompanying this report It will be
seen that thirty-fiveper cen of the
4 ,
teachers engaged in teaching during
the past year have never tau ht be
fore and only ten per cent. av i e at
tended a normal school.
%Until the length of term is in
creased and aufficient a erm iriel are
paid to enable teachers to make the
professslon selkuliporting, one of
the greatest obstacles in the way of
progress in our Ischools viii remain
unmoved.
Thirty-two Illtblic examinations
were held during the year, at which
were issued two =huadreiljosid seven
ty-six provisional and eight profes
sional certificates.
No professional i certificates were
granted at thegeneralexeminations.
A special examination was held for
that purpose, at which applicants
were required to producerecommen
dations from the board or boards of
directors for whom, they_ had taught
for the two preced ing annual school
years.
These examinations were largely
attended by directors and citizens,
who evinced a lively interest in the
welfare of the schools.
The co-operation and support of all
friends of education is earnestly so
licited to further the best interests of
our schools.
'hile I am grateful to teachers,
directors, editors, parents and chil
dren for their uniform kindness and
hospitality and the generous expres

tho highest regard for those directors
wno were honest In their support of
my competitors at the late triennial
convention, and pledge my services
alike to:all to the best 'army ability.

Brigham Young Determined to
have Peace in Ills Family.
The elopement of Brigham Young's
seventeenth wife, reported by tele
graph a few days ago, was not with
out encouragement, it seems, from
the autocrat of the Mormon Church,
though he did not design or consent
that she should go so soon. A Salt
Lake paper gives the following ex
tract from one of Brigham Young's
recent sermons:
I wish my women to understand
that what I am going to say Is for
them as well as others, and I want
those who are here to tell their sis
ters; yes, all the women in the com
munity. I am going to give you
from this time to t of October

must leave, for I will not have them
about me. I will go into heaven
alone, rather than have scratching
and fighting about me. 1 will set all
at liberty. I want to go somewhere
or do something to get rid of the
whinors. Ido not want] them to re
ceive part of the truth and spurn the
rest out of doors. Let every` man
thus treat his wives; keeping rai
ment enough to Over hia body. and
say to your wives take all that I
have and be set at liberty; but if you
stay with me you shall comply with
the law of God in every respect, and
that, too, without any murmuring
or whining. You must fulfill the
law of God in every respect, and
round up your shoulders to walk up
to the mark without any grunting.
—The following paragraph, which
Is worth quoting, concludes a leader
in the Cincinnati Commercial on the
back and forward paysters: "The
question concerns the Treasury and
the tax-payers not only a question of
principle, (in the double sense of the
word,) but also as a matter of inter
est. If the reader will figure out
what the salary of two hundred and
ninety-two Representatives and ten
Delegates in Congress will come to
for nine months. at the rate of $7,.
No per annum each, he will find that
It represents no less a sum than • $l,-
698,750. This amount is taken out
of the Treasury, on the average, of
every four months before it is fairly
due. The interest on the sum at
seven per cent, for four months,
amounts to nearly forty thousand
dollars, which, the tax-payers lose,
and the Congressmen gain, by this
act,of paying themselves their sala
ries-long before they have earned
them. It has song been a tradition
al principle With the Treasury, in
this country as hi most others, that
It Is not to the Interest of the Gov
-eminent to toy Out any money until
long alter it ledge. But the Credit
Mobilier Congkess has fairly flanked
the Treasury and compelled it to re
verse the rule. so far as regards the
members of o:digress, who are, it
seems, the • .pitiferred creditors of the
Povernment,And must receive every
dollar that will be,due them several
mooths in advance of its becoming

sion. Stand bark, widows and or
phans, GoVernment creditors of ev
ery grade, and soldiers of the late

The West, Intigthin Quarrels.
The Supreme Court of West
tesVir
ginia has decide ( against Governor
Jacob in hie coil t with the Board
of Public- Work respecting the rip
pointment ofilaperintend nt of the
State Penitentiary. The heeling
intellipeneer gives a rumo that he
intends to resign appeal to the peo
ple. It says: !'The Governor would
be eligible for rteeleetion for the re
mainder of the term, and resigning
now, an election would have to be
held to fill the vacancy. In this way
he could, therefore, enable the peo
ple of the State to pass judgment on
the quarrel as It now stands—to re
elect him if they approve his course,
to defeat him if they approve the
course of the Legislature. It would
make a square fight, and bring the
whole difficulty to an issue. We can
very well understand that With an
assurance that the people approve
his course, the Governor would feel
encouraged to stay there aid fight
the plunderers and corruptidnists till
the people get another change at this
Legislature, but that with on some
expression of such approval he
could not feel that his usetilness in
the place stripped and dimmed at
all points as he is by the Inspiracy
against the treasury, would be suffi
cient to justify the sacrifice ;it would
require of him to remain Oder such
circumstances.

the following letter in' answer to
Stinth Carolina gentlemen who urge
Ku-Klux par!' ens:
IY.isllixa ox , July 80.—Meters.
Porter, Kershaw anil Sims, Wash
ington, D. C.—Gentlemen : Your
letter of to-day, intemled to elicit
from me a public expression of the
policy of the Government in relation
'to prosecutions of prisoners under ,
the enforcement acts, is received.
have to say, in answer, that as indi
cated in his conversation with you, i
the President lies communicated to;
me what I have heretofore under-•,:,
stood to be his wish, that the,pilson-,
ers accused and convicted of o ffenses
under said acts should be, treated .
with as much lenity as possiblei
without prejudice to the/ ends foi;
which they were passed. It mush
however. be distinctly understood I
that, this action by the. Government'
is not prompted by any doubt as tel
the necessity or validity of said acts;;
or of the convictions already had un
der them, to prevent and punish
high crimes. but by the belief that
Ku Klux Kians have, through said
convictions, been almost, if not altoi
getherebroken up, and that those
who were concerned in or sympa
thized with them have come to see
the folly, wickedness and danger of
such organizations. You have beeil
pleased to shy to me, and similar as
surances have been given by others
seeking the same object, that execu
tive clemency at this time in Ka
Klux cases would tend to remove
many causes of uneasiness and irritd
tion now existing, and conduce gen
erally to public peace and tranquill
ty, and the proposed action is taken
with reference to such cases, with the
full expectation that these assurances
will be verified. You are informed
that the prosecutions now pending
in the courts for violation of the en
forcement acts will be suspended or
discontinued, and instructions to
this effect have already been given
to the several District Attorneys;
but there may be exceptional cases Of
great aggravation, where the Gov
ernment would insist upon convic
tion and punishment. There are,
however, but a few of such cases now
within my knowledge. Persons who
have absented themselves on account
of their complicity in au Klux Of
fenses are at liberty to return, and
unless their crimes belong within the
above named exceptional cases, thdy
will not be prosecuted. Many of
those sentenced to imprisonment tor
such offenses have been already par
doned. and the cases of others are
under consideration, and will proba
bly be disposed of in like manner,
keeping in view a proper citation
between the punishment and nature
of their guilt. To avoid any mis
conception of these proceedings, it - is
perhaps necessary for me to say that
all conspiracy and outrages, or viola
tion of these acts, hereafter commit
ted, like those heretofore punished,
will be prosecuted with all possible
energy and vigor, and it is to be Un
derstood that the Government does
not Intend to abandon said acts, Put
to induce, if possible, a willing obe
dience to their reasonable require
, ment. Substantially, they are in
tended to protect citizens of the
United States in the possession and
enjoyMent of those political and civil
rights guaranteed them by, the late
amendments to the Consti tut ion, and
the President. whose duty it is tosee
that the laws are faithfully executed,
would be recreant to that duty it lie
did not so administer the Govern
ment as to afford to all citizens-the
equal protection of its laws.

though the ruurderg by the wetnen

have the pleasure of announcing to
you the prouable arrest of the worst
of these women. The sheriff of Vtah
county has just discovered a hag.near
Provo who fully answers to the, de
scription of Katie Bender. She has
the appearance as of a coarse person
who has associated rather with -Wild
animals than human beings, an 4 for
years instead of months. Her suffer-
Ingo must have been such as hone
but the eoughest kind of constitution
could endure. She is utterly-, un
known to the people of Provo, to
which town she came from the

sheriff arrested her as Katie Bender.
She claimed in reply to questions to

i; Expectation °lifting the First
Lady In the Land.
I saw yesterday a correspondent's
(description: of Mrs. Kate Chase
,
'Sprague's house at Narragansett, the
'fashionable sea-side resort in Rhode
Island. It contains eighty rooms
and Is magnificently furnished, and
is, of course, filled with choice works
of art. 111. rs. Sprague has all which
ought to make life desirable—wealth,
beauty, grace and accomplishments
—yet I doubt not the May morning
on which her father was found un
consciousin his room, with no hope
of his recovery possible, has darkened
her life forever, and though time
may - alleviate her grief at the loss of
her father, of whom she was so proud
and of whom she was so devoted, yet
nothing can ever cure pain from the
mortal wound her ambition has re
ceived. Mrs. Sprague is thoroughly
ambitious. It has not been because
of mere personal vanity that she has
perfected herself as a woman of the
world and a queen of society. It was
not, the desire to please and delight
merely for the sake of the homage it
brought her that induced her to study
every graceful poise and school her
self in courtly language and brilliant
repartee. She for years prepared
herself, using ail the advantages
wealth gave her to cultivate her re
ally remarkable talents • for a social
ruler, in the fond - expectation of be
inj one day the presiding lady at the
White-house. Mr. Chase was cred
ited with overwhelming desire to be
the chief-magistrate, yet I believe
that this was less due to his uwn am
bition than to his elder daughter's.
A gentleman who acted as one of
Mr. Chase's chief agents (luring the
campaign prior to the nomination of i
Seymour n 1803. has told„me how
throughout Mrs. Sprague was - taken,
into consultation, how high were her;
hopes, and how constantly her father
spoke of her in connection with his
success or failure. When 4:0 thought
success certain, until the very day
Seymour got the nomination, he re
joked most of all for the joy it would
give Mrs. Sprague, and, when the
certainty of failure was made known
to him, his first words were: 'ADoes
Mrs. Sprague know?" When told
she did. "And how does she bear
It?" he inquired. He seemed more
relieved-that the bad news did not
overwhelm her. When Mrs.
Sprague was told she manifested
wonderful self-control, but evidently
the blow was severe. She said little,
albeit it was calmly spoken. showed
the violence of the shock she had
received.
With her father. Mrs. Sprague's
ambition to be the lady of the White
house must necessarily have died.
She can not hope to have her hus
band place her there. Not even her
powerful personal Influence and 'tal
ent for diplomacy, added to her un
bounded wealth, can procure the
presidency for Senator Sprague. I
doubt if Mrs. Sprague passes much
time in Washington hereafter. For
nearly three years after the disap
pointment wrought by Seymour 's
nomination she was there but set-.
dom, and even when her days of
mourning for her fathers's death are
over, it ia'scarcely probable she will
care to resume her old life in the
city where she had hoped to be the
chief lady. She is a wonderful wo
man. There are few -women of
whom history tells us who, united
with so much beauty and grace, have
had so powerful a mind and so much
genius for ruling.

—Hon. J. A. Chapman, Chairman
of the Oregon Democratic State Com

self a Republican. The following is
his card: To all whom it may con
cern: The Democratic party of the
State having, in my judgment;
abandoned its principles, and being
no longer worthy of the confidence
or support of the citizens, I hereby
resign my position as 'Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, and renounce all further al
legiance to the so-called Democratic
Party. And believing as Ido that
the Republican party is the true par
