W\l. K. ALEXANDER, of IVnu. I
Cuba has the MiwU-pcw ami many (
people arc dying.

"I'nder the Republican aduiinistra

State are steadily advancing." Thi* in
nocent item we find in the latch Haven
Republican. and we will ju*t add that
under the same rxdf tin- debt of that

from $4.400,(W before the war to £22.-

And now our neighbor on spring
creek has demolished ?*enator Wallace —
because that distinguished gentleman
said he was a liberal democrat, and the
itrrriU * can't understand wliat tl.at
means Perhaps it may mean one aho
is not always wanting to Monopolist all
office*. and other things, and is "liberal"
enough to let others share in thctu :
Some persons, you know, are very illi
beral right there.
One of the beauties of negro govern
ment in South Carolina are set forth bv
JudgeT. J. Markey, a republican, who
was sent by Governor Chamberlain to
Investigate the recent troubles in Edge
field county has made hi* report in
which he lays the blame chiefly upon
the grow abuaea iu the county govcAl
ment. He declares llxat no English
speaking people have been subjected to
a like infliction since the Saxn wore
the Norman collar.
lie says the officers of the colored
militia have been in the habit of calling
out their men whenever a personal
quarrel arose between the white and
colored men, and this in spite of the
fart that the state constitution gives to
the governor alone the power to call ont
the militia. He recommends the imme
diate disliandment and disarming of the
militia, it is said Governor Chamber
lain will art upon this recommenda
tion.
We dont just comprehend the pro
priety of demolishing a grand jury on
account of a genuine letter with genuine
signatures, rather should it be found
fault with when it fails to take cogni
sance of fellows who deal in forged let
ters, which is within its province.
Think it must be a "liberal" grand jnry.
Andrew Johnson ia the only ex-prest
dent now living and the only cx-pre*i
deut ever elected to the senate. I demo
crats rejoice over his election and he
will no doubt cause some lively times in
the senate. Mr. Johnson takew the
place of Brimstone Brownlow. The m>-
lorioaa Roderick Random Butler, mem
ber of the House from the same State,
he telegraphed to a member of
the Legislator? "For trod's sake don't
■end Andy here. We woo Id rather have
the devil here than him. This is wlut
we all say from President Grant down."
To the surprise of Grant his bogus leg
islature in Louisiana has elected Pineh
laok r. S. Senator, instead of brother
in-law Casey. Now Morton is determin
ed to get Pinchy admitted, and Grant is
opposed to it.
Mr. Morton, is sanguine that the Kel
logg crowd will be virtually recognised
by the admission of Pinchbeck in the
Senate, but other Administration Sena
tors do not share Morton's confidence.
Aside from every other phase of the
question they have very serious doubts
of the legality of Pinchbeck's original
election, while no one claims that the
late one had the semblance of legality.
Even if it be admitted that the Legis
lature was legally constituted, the Presi
dent, it is well known, is adverse to
Pinchbeck's admission, and will no
doubt throw all of his influence against
it, being much displeased that Pinch
back should have the seat he wants for
brother-in-law Casey. But Mr. Morton,
who has become even more bitter in his
partisan zeal since his repudiation last
fall in Indiana, is determined to ride
Pinchbeck rough shod over the Senate
and even the President, if necessary.
He thinks that it is the best way for the
Republicans to get out of the Louisiana
difficulty, and is anxion* to have the
-Senate reach a decision before the House
acts on the report of the Louisiana < <*u
rnittee.
Whom will the radicals nominate to
oppose Mr. Alexander for Assembly, is
the question now. The question though
is whom will they set up for Alexander
to knock down on the lti of Feb. Bet
ter not nominate—and save one of their
fellows from getting down in fhe mouth
alto the 10th.
An executive committee appointed at
meeting of the citizen* of Sioux City
have issued an appeal for the settlers
of Northern Nebraska, Southern Dakota
and Northwestern lowa, whose lands
have been desolated by grasshoppers.
They urge especially on the public the
necessity of seed for the formers. Food,
clothing, and money are also needed.
The territory where aid is needed is
principally in the counties of Cedar,
Dixon, Knox, and Dakota, in Nebraska ;
the settled portion of Southern Dakota,
and that portion of lowa situatod in the
Upper Dos Moines Valley.
There was quite a "time" in the House
at Harrisburg, on Monday last. The
Very talkative member from Union,
Charley Wolf, got unruly and when the
speaker called him to order, he said he
would not, and the speaker had to call
upon the sergeant-at-arms to take him'
oat. Upon this the radical members fell
to Charley's assistance, and the House
adjourned in a row. Union county
should send a man to the House with
more sense and less gal*.
Hereafter Centre county grand-jurie*
will occupy seats on the upper railing of
the spring creek bridge, and receive in
atrcctions from the enfant terrible who
trout from his windows. v

Now when we take into consideration

you see how nicely Charles, *on of Go.,

PL A TFORM Of THE ILLINOIS
FARMERS.
The Illinois farmers met in Cottvou
uon at .Springfield, last week,and adopt
ed a platform which is substantially u*
follow* : That the great jiolitical evil of
the past and present time has IHH-II ami
is class legislation in faror of the finan
cial, mercantile, manufacturing, and
transportation interests as against the
farmer and laborer ; that tliev renounce
all allegiance to either existing political
party, and will no longer set with them,
demanding a reduction of official sala
ries, and a general reform in the civil
service ; improvement of the national
water courses; the removal of the tariff
ou clothing, lumber, salt, iron, and steel;
oppusiug further Government aid to cor
poration* ; demanding the repeal of tin
national banking law and substitution
of legal tenders in place of national cur
rency , legal tenders to be revival,h> for
import duties and interchangeable for
&6d registered bonds ; demanding a re
risoti of the patent laws; the enforce
ment of the railroad laws of the State
and opposing Congressional legislation,
which will deprive the States of the con
trol >,f railroads ta right which they will
never cmeent to relinquish); condemn
ing the reception of railroad passe* by
public officers, and favoring the adoption
of a Stat** revenue system similar to that
of Pennsylvania, and finally endorsing
the call heretofore issued fiir the nation
al convention at Cleveland, on the 11th
of March next, to consider the general
interests of the industrial dtww and
the formation of a national party. The
convention elected divagate* and ad
journed.
On Friday last a Mr. Tutten, coming
from West Virginia on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, placed his satchel,
containing about $7,000, in the ra< k
above hi* seat in the car. and fell asleep.
Arriving at Point- of Rocks, he woke up
and the satchel was missing Late in
the day Smith, Pierson, and West, de
tectives of Baltimore, by means of the
telegraph, recovered the satchel ami
money at Winchester. Vs. It had been
taken lor mistake by u gentleman from
Illinois, who changed ears at Harper's
Ferry, leaving hia own satchel in anoth
er rack. When arrested lie had nut dis
covered his mistake.
' ♦ -*►" •
We wondered why the grand jury got
out of Bellefoiite so soon last w eek—
when we opened our Friday's mail, we
found out why. The eufnnt IfrrVi* frown-j
ed upon them.
Minnesota, Florida and Wisconsin
have not yet succeeded in finding I*. F.
Senators.
It is well known that many part* of
Greece, and Palestine, and Asia Minor,
which were once luxuriant in fertility, are
now barren. The changa is suppose i to
be owing to the loss of forests, which litis
lessened the amount ofrsin, and dried up
the fountains and streams. Tna frequent
droughts in our own county are probably
owing to the tame cause. In Egypt a
changa Uf the better is going on, a- Bay
ard Taylor stato* in his "Letters," just
published. The opening of canals, like
the Sucz*Catial, the attention of railroads,
and the planting of trees, have produced u
double change of climate. Rains have be
come more frequent. Formerly, in Cairo
lltore were only four or five rainy days u
year > SWiV the average number is twenty
one. lit thu P.olla there were formerly
about eight; now tfcjy gy.erage forty. This
increase of rain hn led to tb* £ novation
of large areas of land formerly barren;
and the gain amounts to twenty or thirty
percent., adding" largely to productive
wealth. Another change, not so ugreeu
hie, is in temperatuie. The tains bring
cooler weather, and there are many days
when fires are almost u necessity, which
were formerly unknown.
