Courtesy is a precious jewell and at all

Read the testimony of Judge Holt, in
behalf of the patriotism of President
Buchanan, as regards the rebellion—it
will be found in this issue of the Rerox-
ter. Judge Holt is a republican, and
was a member of Buchanan's Cabinet ; he
joins Judge Black and Secretary Thomp-
son in vindication of Mr. Buchanan.
These distinguished gentlemen settle the
slanders that for years have been retail
ed against Buchanan's loyalty. They
were his advisers during that trying pe-
riod and know whereof they speak.

A whole family becoming insane is an
unusual bit of news that we see in our
exchanges,
A special to the Times from Dabuque,
Ia, August 30, says: “A family has be-
come insage in this county throogh grief
and death. Mary McMahon, the daugh-
ter of a farmer, entered & convent two
weeks ago and became insane, She was
sent to the asylum at Independence for
treatment. Her mother visited her and
also became insane. The daughter died
last Monday, which so effected the moth-
er that she died to-day. The remains of
both mother and daughter were sent
home for burial, Arriving at Farley, near
which place the McMahons lived, a son
and a daughter became insane at the
sight of their mother and sister coming
home dead, and the father is now stricken
with grief bordering upon insanity.”

From all over the country comes the
cry of distress on account of the late
drouth. In Lancester county the unpre
cedent drouth has resulted in the failure
of two-thirds of the tobacco crop, entail
ing a loss in the county of over a million
In neighboring counties, where
the same atmospheric conditions exis
ted, the loss will be much more. Some
of the early planted tobacco escaped the
dry spell and matured well, but this has
slready been purchased by New York
buyers, most of it while still growing in
the fields. Larger prices have ruled this
year than haye ever before been paid.
It is believed that the remainder of the
crop will only be available for fillers.
Dispatches from Eldorado, Illinois,
Wabash, Ind, Battle Creek, Mich., and
other places in that section, complain
of great loss to the crops by drouth
Pastures are dried up, and no ground

INSANE REGARDING THE PRESI-
DENTS INJURY
There are still crazy fellows about,
who are bothering the President. They
are republicans, of course, like Guitean.
Some want to kill and some want to heal.
Below are the two latest instances:
Washington, Auvgust 30.—The police
to-day arrested another “crank” at the
White House gate. He was a colored
man, manifestly insane, He was bent
upon a mission to kill every man who
was not a Garfield man, and he had a
large tin can into which he proposed to
place their heads, He wasarrested with
out resistance.
New York, August 30.—A physician
named Israel Rosefeld was charged with
insanity in the Essex Market Police
Court this morning. He was under the
delusion that he bad prescribed medi-
cines for President Garfield and that the
attending physicians and surgeons had
failed to administer them to the sick
man. He was sent to the Tombs phy-
sicians for medical examination.

THE STORE ORDER BILL.
The Store-order bill which we prin-
ted in last week's REeporTER isto be
whipped around the stump or evaded, as
will be seen by a despatch from Union
town, Pa., which says:
After protracted deliberations among
themselves and counsel from leading
lawyers the coke operators of this region
have finally agreed upon a method by
which they expect to evade the require-
ments of Senator Schnatterly's Store Or-
der bill, that takes effect September 1.
Operators who own the company stores
will furnish their employes with small
@ccount books, on the front page of which
appears the following printed state.

The merchandise, cash, &c., charged
in this book are taken in payment of
wages due, by John Doe & Co, to Rich-
ard Roe,
The space for the signature of Richard
Roe, the employe, is left vacant until he
signes his own name in it, When signed
the statement becomes a contract in
which the employe agrees to take mer-
chandise for his wages, the very thing
designed to be prevented by the store
order hill. No goods are to be sold un-
less the employe presents his book. A

be regarded as evidence by Democrats
that the party has lost confidence in it-

govern the country, or bear its fair share
in its government—that it has lost its
old-time courage—that we are a conquer:

to live for it is just as well it should die.
Concession and courtesy carried to an ex-

thus giving him the unanimous indorse-

there is no record vet of the republicans

Judge McCrary of the United States
Circuit court of the Missouri district, has
given a decision of great importance to
railroad and transportation companies as
well as tothe public, The gist of it is that
courts have the right to prevent transpor
tation companies from discriminating in fu
vor of or against any class of customers to
the prejudice of others of the same class ;
that a railroad company is boynd to cars
ry freight for any express company, and
that it must not discriminate against it in
favor of itself or any other express com
pany ; and that courts may even go as fur
as to fix maxinum rates which may be
charged by railroad companies for the

Since the date of this letter Major Ans
derson has regularly and frequently re-
ported the progress of the batteries being
constructed around him, and which look-
ed either to the defense of the harbor or to
an attack on his own position. But he has
not suggested that these works comprom~
ised his safety, nor has he made any re-
quest that additional supplies or reinforce
ments should be sent to him. On the cons
trary, on the thirtieth of January, 1861, in
a letter to this department, he uses this
emphatic language: *I1 do hope that no
attempt will be made by our friendsto
throw supplies in; their doing so would do
more harm than good.”
On the fifthjof February when referring
to the batteries, ete., constructed in this
vicinity, he said: “Even in their present
condition they will make it impossible for
any hostile force, other than a large and
well appointed one, to enter this harbor,
and the chances are that it will beats
great sacrifice of life;"” and in a postscript
he nade: Of course, in speaking of forcing
an entrance, I do not refer to the stratagem
of an small party shipping in.

In view of these very distinct declaras
tions and of the earnest desire to avoid a
collision as long as possible, it was deemed
entirely safe to adhere to the line of policy
indicated in my letter of the sixteenth
January, which has already been quoted.
In that Major Anderson has been request.
ed to report ‘at whenever, in his
judgment, additional or rein-
forcements were necessary for his safety
or for a successful defense of the fort.” So
long, therefore, ag he remained silent upon
this point the government felt that there
was no ground for apprehension. Btill, as
the necessity for action might arise at any
moment, an expedition has been quietly
prepared and is ready to sail from New
York on a few hour's notice for transports
ing troops and supplies to Fort Sumter,
This step was taken under the supervision
of General Scott, who arranged its details

FIVE MEN SHOT BY A MADMAN,
Chicago, September 2, ~Thomas C.
Neal, aged 26 years, ovidently insane,
who was sleeping in a cheap lodging house
on South Olark street, Inst night suddenly
jumped out of bed and shot David Fagin:
his room-mate, in the left cheek; then
rushed down stairs and shot in the back
William Springeard, night watchman ; in
the street he mot William Johnson, colors
ed, whom he shot in the breast; then he
ghot Thomas Flynn, flagman, in the groin,
and next shot & night clerk, named Wolf,
in the breast and arm, Being met at this
point by Officer Boole, Neal pointed his
empty pistol at the officer, whereupon the
latter shot hij in the neck and took him
intoleustody. The wounds of Johnson and
Springeard are dangerous.
Nearly all the ills that afflict us can
be prevented and cured by keeping the
stomach, liver and kidneys in working
order. There is no medicine known
that will do this as surely as Parker's
must be treated as such,
But be had been “misled into specu-
lations,” and had ‘overdrawn his ac-
count when dazed by losses.” Ingenious
and easy going, artful brokers in Wall
street had thrown their nets aroond him
and cavght a fresh victim. These stories
and pathetic appeals succeeded. Grant
pardoned him, and Hodge returned to
the scene of his financial exploits to en-
