The committee of the United States Sen
ate appointed to Investigate the charges
against Senator Matthews of being a princi
pal actor in the fraud by which the election
of Hayes was accomplished, met In Wash'
Ington on on the 21st Inst, James E. Audcr
son appeared before them, but refused to tes

allow him to have counsel. This was refused
and Anderson persisted whereupon the com

SUGGESTIONS' TO TAX-PAYERS.
The Republicans claim to be the party of
Retrenchment and Reform. They always
did, but gave us more of the "bloody shirt
and sensational claptrap than what they
claimed to reprcnt. Let us see.
1. It was the R .-publican party that in
creased the pay of President, (under Grant)
from $50,000 to $100,000 per year, and of
the Governor of Pennsylvania from $5,000.
to $10,000. The former sums were dcem-d
sufficient in war times tor Lincoln and Cur
tin, but not enough for Grant and Hayes,nor
for Hartranft.
2. The accession of a Democratic Con'
gress in 1876 W to a reduction of $40,000,
000 in Federal expenditures, and but for the
opposition of a Republican President and
Senate the rrduction would have reached
$20,000,000, more, or $1.50 for every man
woman, and child In the nation.
3. A Democratic Congress cut down use
leas offices an army of political parasites
numbering 70,000, and cut down their sal
ariea.
4. The Democrats ferreted out corruption
and inefficiency whereever found, drove high
officials from position who were found guilty
of malfeasance in office and of gross corrup
Uon ; but each step towards reform and the
correction of abuses, was met at each step
by opposition tarn the Republican party
and press.
All these facts show that the Democratic
party Is for purity and reform, and should be
supported by the tax payers aud masses.
THE USURY LAW.
The Pittsburgh Cbmmernasavs the some
what surprising fact has just transpired there
that the Usury bill which was pending
before the last session of our State Legisla
ture, and which was supposed to have been
defeated, was actually passed upon reconsid
eration. The bill, as it now stands, restricts
the rate to 6 per cent, and makes its provis
ions ADnlv in nil hAnblncrnnrnnrntlnnA n thn
State, thus attacking the specially chartered
organizations.
Whether the act is in violation of the
Constitution or not, the Courts will deter
mine. It is fair to presume that it does not
violate vested rights, or the Legislature
would not have passed it, nor would the
Attorney General and Governor have ap
proved it,
, But it is eminently just that no bank,
corporation.saving fund or individual should
have special privileges in the matter of loan
ing or borrowing money. If the loaning of
money is to bo a matter of legislatatlon, that
legislation shquld be equitable, just, and
equal. If untrammeled by legislation, then
money as a commodity or medium ot ex
change, every person of mature age would
be competent to make a contract for the loan
or hire of money, the same rs he can now
legally do for a horse or farm.
Mr. Win. II. Armstrong, who narrowly
missed being the candidate of tho Nationals
for Governor, and who would have made sad
havoc'in the Cameron-IIoyt ranks had he
been nominated, has fallen back into the Re
publican lines. It isn't to be expected that
he will take very much heart in the cause
that he lately intended to defeat by leading
the Nationals, but it is probable that he has
less heart for the success of the new party
that waltzed with blm all around the politi
cal boards and then gladdened Cameron,
Hoyt, Mackey and Quay by nominating the
other fellow. He will be likely to take the
Hoyt ticket as the choice of unpalatable
evils, and leave to other tongues the wagging
that may be wanted on the Btump. Phila

The Fill John Porter Inquiry.
West Point, June 24. The board of of.
Seen appointed by the President to reopen
the cases of William A. Hammond, late Sur
geon General of the army, and Ilajor Gen
eral Fitx John Porter convened to-day. In
General Porter's case it Is understood that
sew evidence has beeu discovered which
waa not previously attainable, and which
would have materially Influenced the court
before which he wes tried and found guilty
of dUohedieuce to orders In not responding
to General Pope's orders for him to reinforce
the latter! command at the second battle of
Bull Run. The utmost publicity Is to be
given to the proceedings.
Another Mollis Arretted.

other member of the ifbllie Magulre gang.
which committed bo many depredations at
Irwin, Westmoreland county, wan arrested
at Oil City yesterday by one of Pinkerton
detectives, and is now In jail at Greeusburg,
He fled when parties recently arrested made
confessions, and detectives have been
search of him over since. He is charged
with complicity in the murder of Joseph
Carrol in 187C, Detectives are In active pur
ult of two others concerned in the same
crime.
The Woman In the Case.
It is eointr hard with John Sherman. Every
revolution of Potter's wheel makes his caso
assume, nn uglier form. Wo wcro led to ex
pect that tho nppcarnnco of Mrs. Jenks as n
witness would clear up tho whole matter of
his lottcr to Weber and Anderson, and give
tho country at last tho bottom facts in regard
to that document, about which his own mem
ory is so treacherous. So far from that, this
cel-liko witness slips back nnd forth through
tho hands of the committee without doing
anything towards tho exoneration of Mr.
Sherman, nnd only mnkinir more than ever
apparent the dovious ways of Ijouisiana pol
iticians. Her own right to call herRolf one ot
this not was fully vindicated by her bold men
dacity, her pert mo of political slang and her
unblushing confession that while she might
belong to ono party in tho morning and an
other nt night bIio called herself a Republi
can, and was "willing to do anything for the
good of tho party." Her real purposo from
tho first seems to have been to advance tho
political and pecuniary prospects of her stupid
husband, who was ono of Kollogg's tools. To
do this alio was willing to becomo tho cuiissa
ry of Anderson and Weber to tho visiting
statesmen ; to betray their confidence by open
ing and reading n loltor committed to her
caro t to use, tho knowledgo thus gained to
acquire influenco over Kellogg, Packard, Mat
thews and Sherman, and to come as non as
possiblo to confessing herself a forger. All
this she has done, a cording to her own sto
ry, to say nothing of playing fast and looso
with Auderson nnd doing as much prevarica
tion and downright lying as was necessary
to keep a hold upon both parties until ono or
tho other came to her terms. When a woman
thus unsoxes hcrsc'C to bear a hand in poli
tics she can lay no claim to courteous treat
ment. Thofiguroofa clever woman turned
political buckler and cllpsing all others in
the trade was all lliat was needed to make
tho picturo of Louisiana infamy under the
carpet-baggers complcto in all Its repulsive
details.
Mr. Sherman would e'ear 1ms own bedrag
gled skirts by having this woman fasten upon
herself tho improbable criuio of forging tho
document which has been her block in trade
for tho last two years. Anxious to pleaso him,
but having Bti'l a baro vestige of sell-respect,
sho goes only far enough to show that she is
willing to have that theory received te it can
bo done without actuary shouldering crime.
Tho silly compromise upon which sho dropp
ed is the statement that she dictated tho fu
rnous letter, and sho would havo us believe
that sho did so in the presenco of the visit
ing statesmen in their private parlor, without
any of them knowing or suspecting what sho
was about. This story is shaken to tatters
by cross-examination, but clings to tho main
thread with a tenacity that leaves no doubt as
to her desire to clear Sherman at any hazzard
of her own veracity. Whoever had any
thing to do with tho guarantco sho is careful
to say again and again that Mr. Sherman had
no complicity in tho matter, t.crmostdra
matic manner and most startling rhetoric arc
reserved for theso declarations of aecquittal.
Sho knows her brsiness : Mr. Sherman must
be ariuitted. It is a wonder that it does not
occur to this clever woman that there is such
a thing as protesting too much. People are
apt to inquire the motive of this zeal in his
behalf, involving such a strain of probability
and so many inconsistencies in her story, It
is magnanimous, no doubt, for this fair
creature to stand up, "in presence of this
committeo and tho country at laige," and
avow her own responsib:'ity for tho political
dishonor laid at the door of the Secretary of
tho Treasury, but Mrs. Jenks is not tho wo
man to give her magnanimity away without
its price. Tho whole testimony thus far elic
ited shows that she knew the market value of
tho document in her keeping. It is worth
either place or money. Sho did not get
nlacc.
It is scarcely necessary to po'nt out that wo
are still without Mr. Sherman's denial of the
authenticity of the famous letter. When
brought to book he was unwilling to say that
he did not writo it. His own denial would
bo of greater valuo than that of Mis. Jenks.
Why is she so mucli'inore positive than ho is
'as to his innocence of the crime of condoning
forgery and perjury? Under the circumstau
ces tho verdict of guilty already entered
against him by tho country must remain. It
is proved that Anderson and Weber declined
to go ou with their crime without a guaran
tco of preferment; hat they asked that guar
antee of Mr. Shermau and that Mrs. Jcr':s
presented that demaud, knowing tho naturo
of it j and that they received such a guarau
tee as induced them to keep quiet. It is
proved that Louisiana politicians geueray
believed iD4tho existenco of that docunient.and
regarded Anderson, to whom it was supposed
to have been given, as tho holder of a claim
upon tho administration which could not bo
slighted. Anderson produces a copy of that
document, which sustains common fame as to
its nature, and the alleged writer declines to
say that it is not genuine. This is as strong
a caso as could be made out without the pro
duction of the original. It is a case that cov
ers John Sherman with dishonor and involves
the administration of which he is a member
in disgrace. Such pert gabblo as that to
which!Mrs.;Jenks has treated tho Potter com
mittee) serves only to make the desperate
straits of the accused more contemptibly ap
parent. lima,

you that a meeting of the committee will be
held at tho church parlors on Monday, June

Therefore I answer, Grst. that In mv linusA

Second. I did authorize the card to bo

And now I repeat and reaffirm that the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, 11. I!., Jane 25, 1878.
Ex-Governor Brown of Tennessee, oners
to return his sharo nf the money paid out
for the expenses of Mr. Hayes New Orleans
Commission, but Secretary Sherman, under
direction from Mr. Hayes, refused to receive
the money. Tho Governor insists on return
ing it. He is right. However pure bis mo
tives In going to Now Orleans, or whatever
tho result of the trip, tho means by which
Sherman provided tho money wcro scanda
lous In tho extreme. Mr. Hayes expects
Congress will appropriate tho money at the
next session but that is very doubtful.
Mrs. Jenks was before tho Potter Com
mittee on Saturday, and was interrogated
by Representatives McMahou nud Butler.
She Is sharp, cool, and egotistical, and Is, as
her husband was on tho day before, eviden
tly trying to conceal tho tuith, Sho says
bIio herself dictnted tho celebrated Sherman
ctter, guaranteeing protection to Sherman
nnd Webber, nnd that Sherman had nothing
to do with it. Mr. and Mis. Jenks have
been thoroughly dulled since they reached
Washington, by the nttorneys of Secretary
Sherman, but by the cross-examination to
day it is expected to get the truth from her.
A suggestion for the campaign of 1S80
nnd ono that attracts considerable attention
now, Is that of running Seuators Thurman
and Gordon for President nnd Vice Presi
dent. The splendid record of tlicjfornier nt
the last session, nnd the great popularity as
well ns sterling worth of the latter, certain
ly make the suggestion worthy of serious
consideration, though It is too early yet to
judge of the probabilities of the caso.
A couple of excellent Democrats, Messrs.
A. S. Hewitt and Henry Watterson, are
quarreling over the part each had in carrying
out tho agreement a to the Elertornl Com'
mission. There is nothing to bo gained by
this, aud the subject is not one that has a
pleasing interest for Democrats. Mr. Wat
terson is nu excellent editor nnd should re
turn to Kentucky aud devote himself to his
paper. Mr. Hewitt's proper place is his
counting house, and it was supposed he
realized the fact. Let the subject drop, gen-
tlemen, and wo will seo that we are uot

would have been proper, for more than half
the cost of governing the District is tracea'

its beloncincs. In tho years 1871 to 1875
Government officers put the District in debt
to the extent of over $20,000,000 for the ben

The European Congress.
London, Juno 25.
A dispatch from Berlin says : To-day's
sitting of the congress began nt 2 and closed
at 5 p. in. Prince Gortschakoff was not
present, but received reports every quarter
of an hour and sent written remarks to the
Russiau plenipotentiaries. Prince Bismarck
will immediately communicate with tho
Greek plenipotentiary concerning participa
tion in the congress. Greece will be admit
ted to represent the Greek element in Bui
garia when the organization of Bulgaria is
discussed.
Iu private conversation the Turks slreuu
ously oppose the granting of autonomy to
Epirus, especially es regards Jauina. Tho
Greeks lay particular stress on tho Greek na
tionality of Janiua. Tue Turks declare that
they will not evacuate the fortress until a
treaty of peace is ratified by all the powers.
A Vienua dispatch says : "A dispatch to
the Political Correspondence from Bucharest
reports that the Roumanian Government is
advised from many sides, particularly from
Italy and trance to coino to an agreement
with lluisia at any prico." Tho Correspon -
dence's Berlin dispatch says thataccording to
present arrangements the congress, provided
lurkey does not raise difficulties will have
settled tho main points by the middle of
July, Tho settlement of details will then
bo left to a conference of the second pleni
poteutianes, and tho congress will meet
again in September to ratify their acts.
Tne Times' lie rl In correspondent says :
Die Bulgarian question may be regarded as
solved. There only remain somo points of
detail, which It is believed will bo settled in
tho sitting of Wednesday. At Tuesday's
sitting tho trench plenipotentiaries who
have been intrusted with remodeling the
Russian amendments which England refused
to accept ou,Mondny,reintroduced them in a
form acceptable to all parties. Accordiug to
the French proposal the Porte will have full
right to occupy the line between Bulgaria
and Roumelia with whatever number of
troops it deems nccesrary, but tho troops
must be exclusively regulars ami must in no
case bo cautoued nmong the inhabitants or
n the interior. The maintenance of order
n Roumelia will be intrusted to a corps of
gendarmerie. It was likewise agreed, on
proposal of the French plenipotentiaries,
that tho Inhabitants of Bulgaria nnd Rou
melia shall enjoy complete civil and religious
liberty. It was decided, on proposal of
England nud Austria, that no change
be made iu existing commercial legislation
without consent of the powers.
The same correspondent states that Rus
sian occupation is to last nine months, after
which three months will be allowed for
withdrawal of the troops. The opinion is
gaining ground that the labors of the princi
pal plenipotentiaries can bo concluded by
the tenth of July. It Is said that the Greeks
have secured the Bupport of France for a
frontier line from Olympus to Alrlona. As
the Turks, however, will not code Batoum,
tuey are still less inclined to make such a
concession.
The Standard's correspondent at Berlin
hears ou good authority that the Russians
have within the last few days bought at
Hamburg three steamers belonging to the
Hamburg-American Hue.
The PoiCs dispatch from Berlin reports
that in Monday's sitting of the congress it
was decided that the Russians should with
draw from Roumelia In tlx aud from Bulga
rla in nine months. After their withdraw,
al mixed European troops will temporarily
occupy the provinces.
Russia has ordered Montenegro and Ser

relative to their claims.
Extravagance of Funerals.
It was a very sensible clergyman at Pitta-
burgh who recently read a paper upon the
expcnitvencss of funerals ; and they were
very senslblo colleagues who ndopted his
views as their opinion. Mere fashion is no
where more hateful than In tho burying of
tho dead, and nono.the less hateful because
It Imposes enormous expenses upon those
who can not afford them, Tho savings of n
year are often rqunudercd In tho Idlo ostenta
tion of a funeral. It Is n not unnatural feel
ing among tho poor thnt the last oervlco they
can render to n beloved friend shall not fail
in nny usual distinction, nnd the result is
that n living family is often straitened that
a deal member of It may He in a mahogany
cofliu nnd bo followed by a long train of
carriages to his grave. Reform must come
from thoso who "set the fashion," nnd n
modest simplicity in funerals can be attained
only by tho example of those whs cau afford
to be cxtravngant.
The worthy undertaker, who lives by tho
death of his fellow-creatures, is naturally
desirous that grief shall be lavishly mani
fested, aud bo encourages to tho utmost this
Bombro splendor. Tho young American used
to be shocked ns he read In England storiesof
mutes nud mourning carriages, of men hired
to wear the garb ofsorrow,aud of grief meas
ured by a train of emptiness. Two or three
years ago tho movement against this cxtrava
gance began In England, and it has the pub
lie sympathy and support of very eminent
persons. It has shown itself in this country
by the common request, with tho nnuounce
mcnt of a death, that no llowcrs be sent. A
simple nnd beautiful tribute of affection has
grown into an oppressive fashion, nud'cer
tnln flowers have become odious to many
persons from their constant association with
funerals. When such gifts arc in truth the
offerings nf love und sympathy, no symbols
can be more touching, but the moment they
spring 1 rnui tho mere force of fashionable
custom, ami urc sent to the house of mourn
ingns gil',5 aie tent by formal acquaintances
to n bride, with no more feeling than in the
leaving, of ceremonious visiting-card, they
are touching and significant no longer. The
change in the mere fashion of llowcrs upon
Buch occasions cm be carried by the same
good sense into every other funeral cxtrav.v
gance, so that the poor need no longer feel
thnt their dead are slighted if they are not
buried with ruinous expense.
There was another Micgeslion made at
Pittsburgh which is worthy of consideration1
It was proposed that funeral sermons as mat
ters of course should not be preachid; and
to this suggestion there will he probably n
tt very general amen. They are ol necessity
eulogiesjl'or tin good-hearted preacher would
choose such a time to tell unpleasant truths,
Yet if a man lias been selfish, bard, grasp'
ing, self-inJulgent, sordid and there are
such men I what is the poor preacher to do?
The well meaning reply that every persou
has something good in him, and the eulogist
can speak of that, is conclusive if the
preacher is uot to give his honest character
of the dead. But t say of a man notorious
forine.iiinss tli.it he went regularly to church
orofndebaucheetli.it he gave generously
to the poor, is not to tell the truth, but to
dodge it. A change in this habit, however,
must spring from the, good sense of the cler
gyman ard the community in which he lives,
Aud the first step toward tho change is cal
ling attention to the subject as the Pitts

insight into the yet unwritten history of
those momentous events, "I havo no doubt,"
said Mr. Pitman, "ot the correctness of Mr.
Ford's statement of Mrs.Surratt's innocence;
the grave blunders which grew out of the
assassination trial were due to the theory
Mr. Stanton entertained, that Booth was the
active instrument in a great conspiracy, the
dictatory power of which was tho rebel gov
ernment. Mrs. Surratt was hanged for com
plicity in the assassination plot, of which
she was entirely ignorant, aud poor Spang

Cincinnati dispatch to A'. Y, Herald.
Oh Whose Arm lie Leans.
Mr. Johu Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States, appears In
public, on an occasion of interest, nnd to
him of great solemnity, leaning on the arm
of a woman for support. This woman, for
several days past, has been communicating
information about various matters nnd nbout
herself. When she talks on other subjects,
there is too much reasou to believe that her
statements are to be taken with many grains
of allowance. When she speaks of herself,
we will concede her description to be truth
ful.
This woman is one Mrs. Jenks, of whom
we have had occasion to discourse already.
A letter was intrusted to Mrs, Jenks by a
friend, Mr, Weber, to be delivered to Mr,
John Sherman, at the time ono of the visit
ing statesmen at New Orleans. According
to her own statement, she opened this letter
and read it. It demanded written pledges
such as be had already given orally of Mr.
Sherman, This "white-soulcd" woman, ac
cording to her own story, "was disgusted
with Weber for presuming to demand writ
ten pledges from such a man ns John Slier
man. And bo the 'white-Bouled woman
wrote or dictated just such n letter as Mr,
Weber requested, and signed John Slier
man's name to It I Her own estimate of this
performance Is glveu very briefly In her
own words. She says ; "( was a small af
fair."
What importance Mrs. Jenics attaches to
pcijury we are not advised. Wo are left to
infer her estimate of tho gravity of one
crime by her own statement of her views of
another of corresponding helnousness, lor
gery she esteems "a small affair."
In reference to a clerkship which Mrs
Jenks ut oue tim hold in the Treasury De-
partmeut, she testified: "I don't think the
Government made much by ray services,
1 weut there almost every day
wheu I had nothing else lo do."
We suspect Mrs. Jenks will prove just as
unprofitable to Mr, Secretary Sherman as
she did to the Government. When he
promeuades to speak figuratively but aptly
before tbe whole country leaning on the
arm of this woman, every oue already be
gins to perceive that he leans upon a frail, if
not a broken, reed. A. Y, Sun,

Salient features of many Exhibits. A double
quick review of the nations. First France
then England, and the insignificant remain

and Sweden, Italy, Japan, China, Hunga

Tho month which has just closed since the
inauguration of tho great show has seen the
great cnterpriso gradually brought to comple

study of its most important and striking parts.
First in importance, of course, comes 1' ranee

in our machine department, and n high com
pliment is paid us when it is said wo are, in
this, inferior only to England.
Contiguous to tho United States is tho
Norwegian erection, and tho first thing to
strike one is tho peculiar effect produced by
tho pleasing yellow .natural tint of tho pine
wood cases. Tho piincipal features of tho
Norwegian exhibit nro cider down, furs,
cloths, hangings, nnd rcraaikably handsome
cups and plates. The sister nation, Sweden,
makes n show of industrial objects, tools, pot

pancso porcelains aro of a grotesque beauty
that is really beyond description.
China is still more gorgeous in tho charac
ter of her displays than Japan. Her very
show-cases, instead of being built of black
wood, nnd of a rectangular shape, aro quaint
in form, and rcsplcndant in decoration.
Thoso who havo charge of tho" Chineso de
partment, religiously wear their national cos
tumo of lich Bilken .stuffs, whereas tho Jaiw
neso havo adopted tho lugubrious pocket coat
and ungraceful pantaloon.
npain seems cold and prosaic attcr tuo
splendors of Japan and China. There is a
considerable display of arms, and iron, and
uniforms; nnd lady visitors will find delight
in an abundant show of lace.
Hungary's opening rooms aro devoted to
upholstering ou n grand scale. Tho model
of n large drawing room is remarkably rich
and fine. Shawls, laces, and vases, aro fea
tures of tho Austrian section.
Russia does not very compactly cover tho
liberal space apportioned to her, her section
hero, like herj territoiy, is comparatively
sparsely settled. She has a profusion of mal
achite aud tho visitor to the Philadelphia
Exposition will recognize hero some familiar
objects, both in malachito and bronze. Rus
sia has a fair display of cloths, furs, jewelry,
and uiiuerological specimens.
The hall ot embroideries of tho Swiss de
partment is perhaps tho finest of tho kind in
the Exposition, and tho Swiss silks and cot
ton goods prove that they can compete witl
tho French and English houses both in quali
ty aid price. But tho most complcto and
artistically arranged display is that of tho
Geneva watch trade. It is evident that they
feel tho necessity of making a powerful ef
fort in order to compete with tho cheaper,
niachino mado watches displayed iu the Ame
rican section.
Denmark covers but littlo space, but objects
of interest are to bo seen in this section, and
the furniture, jewelry nnd ceramics aro of
haudsome design nnd exqutsito workmanship.
The industrial character of tho Belgian sec
tion strikes ouo at a glance. Iron in all its
forms is seen, and everything has a character
of bolidity which is sometimes aied with art.
Tho exhibit of pottery, cloths aud upholstery
is very complete.
In the nairow strip devoted to Greece, la
ces, carpets, and a complete collection of tho
Greek minerals, and flora, aro tho salient
points.
A littlo hut represents Greenland, thickly
strewn and hung with furs upon which nro
arranged walrus teeth, and other fruits of tho
ice fields.
Tho exhibit of the Rcpublio of Gnutcmala
very important. Uraguay and Ilayti arc
somcwiiat extensively represented, though
they havo no curious or interesting objects.
Tho Argentine Rcpublio exhibits n largo
collection of grains, and its leather production
is well represented.
Central America exhibits in its little build
ing, weapons, grains, nuts, etc A small
stone construction represents Bolivia, and n
capital reproduction of a native hut, btands
for Nicoragua. Tho part of tho foreign sec
tion where theso small pavilions nro clustci
cd is highly picturesque.
Tho sections aro nrrnngod without tho least
regard to their positions on tho map of the
world. Next comes Holland whoso section is
well filled with industrial exhibits. Tho sil
versmiths of Amsterdam mako a superb show,
But the great attraction of tho Dutch section
is the Frisian house, in which are lifo sizo
figures, dressed in National costumes of Dutch
peasants. Pcoplo crowd around theso lifo-
iko figures with tho samo interest that they
flocked to see similar representations of
Scandinavian folk lifo, in tho Swedish and
Norwegian departments nt Philadelphia.
Tho cntiro space devoted to exhibits is lar
gcr than nt Philadelphia, but tho enclosure is
smaller, hence this Exposition has tho ap
pearanco of being more crowded. Tho lar
gest number of tickets sold ou any ono day
were 68,117.
You have doubtless heard that tho Ameri
cans in Paris, nro to celebrato tho 4th of Ju
ly in tho Bois do Bologne, I will writo you
about it alter tho celebration.

An Amusing Thing in History.
One of the most amusing things in history
is tho harangue of General William Tecum
sell Sherman to tbe West Point graduates,
The hero of Atlanta and, shall we say Shi-
loh? stood up in the presenco of the eighteen
or twenty callow, blushing young soldiers,
unassigned, and vehemently assured them
that though Rutherford B, Hayes was a mild
mannered man he could fight upon occasion
with the best of 'em, and when it came to
battling for his rights he would brace up
uncommonly, In the meantime these strip'
pliugs must know, for it is their general who
Ml them, that it Is their duty to support
tliH de facto government with their lives if
need be. Great heavens! suppose one or
all of them should prove recreant Kr.
LETTER FROM KA8.,
Br-rfKiNaroK, Kb.,, June flSgptfS.
Editors ColumiiIAN. As I bromlscd to
writo ngnln I shall fulfill my promise.- We
are now almost In tho mUst of "a'pew rail
road,' tho trains nro to bo running 'by July
2nd. Trncklayine is progressing nt tuo rato
of 1 milo per day, tho road Is grnded to
Minneapolis, they shall bo to Bennington
hoxt week. Tho track runs within nbout
ono hundred yrds from our place.
Wo nro nearly through harvesting our
winter grain, nnd wo can say that, take the
wholo Valley wo Jiavo n splendid crop this
year, grain Is filled very well ,nnd no doubt
will yield good. Corn nnd oats are looking
fine, no such thing ns failure in crops this
year ngainjbytho way nil things nppcnr,there
will be plonly of peaches ns nil tho trees arc
loaded heavily. Wo havo fino growing wenth
cr, we have now about ono hundred nnd
soventy-five ncrcs under cultivation, we broke
about 0 miles of ground for hedgerow nud
Intend planting tho samo with plants now
growing from the seed wo Bowed this last
spring.
It is surprising to seo the emigrants com
ing in. Last week 14 teams went up theVnl-
ley in ono train, all emigrants. Wo see them
pas up the Valley day after day.
Land Is still rising in valuation, for in
stance ono whole section joining ours on tho
west, was last month offered for $5.00 per
ncre,and certain parties weregoing to take it
nt that, then ho would not sell, now he
nsks $10.00. Some hind joining us on tho
east, last summer was offered nt 3.50 now
they nsk $10.00 for that. In fact land in two
years from now will be worth twice what it
is even now. If emigration keep ou ns it
has since we are out here, a very large emi
gration from Pennsylvania.
Freo ride (excursion) on tho new railroad
the 4th of July. I told you in my Inst that
trains were to run by April 2nd, the time
was extended to July 2nd, too short a timo
to do tho grading, and too much rain caus'
ing n delay.
I receive tho Columman every week aud
read it too. How far is tho new Jail under
head-vay ? and how is tho Normal School
progressing ? I attended there two years
ago nnd think it is the finest institution of
the kind I ever saw. Dr. Griswold was tho
principal, I was very much pleased with the
school.
What has becomo of Kelley "the bum ?"
How about thnt new railroad that was lo
cated on the south bank of the river at your
place? I havo heard but very little about it
a ftw words in tho Coi.UMIUAX once, but
nothing Bince. Is it to be completed 1
We built n newhou.se and areliviugin tho
same now, n good strong two story frame
house.
Wo cut our harvests with self-binders,
binds with wire, takes but one man to run
the machine, we run a six foot cut, nnd can
on smooth ground cut 20 acres per day by
changing horses.
Hoping to receive an answer to thoso few
questions I asked, I close.
Yours &c,
F. W. Miller
The National-Labor-Greenback candidato
for Governor is n thrifty gentleman. He
preaches the gospel of labor at nightfall.and
in the day time attends to his duties ns a
juror in tho United States District Court.and
Uncle Sam pays his traveling expenses and
his board bill. This does very well for Mr,
Mason, but it is n measure of contraction
rather than inflation. If he would let somo
other citizen serve as a juror, and pay his
own campaign expenses, there would be a
greater diflusion of currency in the country
and he would contribute Homcthing to the
elaboration of his own theories. Philadel
phia Ilecord,
Chester N. Farr, Esq., private seeretaiy to
Governor Hartranft, has been on a visit to
his home In Reading,and hSving been asked
by a reporter for tho Eagle ol that city what
truth there is in tho reported candidacy of
Governor Hartranft for tho U. S. Senator
ship, replied : "None whatever I The op
position to tho Camerons in Pennsylvania
are naturally looking toward some person
of prominence, responsibility and standing
to organize their forces and rally them, nnd
it appears they have selected the governor.
Ho does not sympathize with them nor en
courage them, and will not bo a candidate."
Tbe Columbia Spy will now be obliged to
look up another candidate. Patriot.
