'Tuas ever tfcu from ctiMbooJ hour. A.C.. Thf. President Las at last yielded to tie pressure brought to War upon him and has called an extra se-eion of Congress to aemble on the 7th day of August next. The main object to 1-e secured is the rr jwal of the "r-h-rman law" providing for the monthly purchase by the govern ment of $4,"'").ihi of silver. It is to le inferred from bis previous statements that the Presidtnt feels assured of the re jeal of the law. bui the present indica tions are that there will I a hot and protracted tight lie fore this can 1 accom plished. The eilverites w ill make fierce battle against the mere naked repeal of the law, and will insist upon an equiva lent of some kind to sahe their sores. The patronage is an immense lever in tie Lands of the President, but he has a great missionary work to perform, partic ularly in the Senate, before repeal can be assured. Ar the Lead of cur tditorial columns will be found the ticket selected by the Republicans of this county at the Prima ry Klection, held on Saturday last, June l'4th. In every instance the majority in favor of the gentlemen composing this ticket was decisive enough to prevent ell cav il, and though it may carry disap-j-ointineut to the friends of the unsuc cessful candidates, there does not exist theslightest ground for complaint at the fairness by. w hich the result was accom plished. That the Republicans of the County were thoroughly aroused and deeply in terested in the result, is attested by the unusually large vote polled, and al though the contest was warm and spirit ed, to their credit be it said, then was no evidence of ill biood exhibited at any of the polls throughout the county. A ticket so decisively and harmoniously nominated is a fure winner by a large majority, and wedoabt not that after the November election theliKKALD will have the p'easure cf cot gratultting its politi cal friends on the superb endorsement they have given the candida'es of their ow n selection. An united and Larmonious party is a sure guarantee of a brilliant victorv.

Henry Watterson de nounced as the " Painted Harlot of Pro tection" as they have on the si! .er ques tion.

It is well that in this anniversary of the grejt battle for the Union that the heroes who won on that, as well as on many another g"ry iield, should le made conversant v ith the rebel seutiim-nt still cherished by the;r former foes. It is by mid through the instrumentality of these men that the present Administration is in power, and it is to placate and gratify them that the present warfare against the pensions of the Union soldiers is be ing waged.

A large stuffed figure was wung across tbe principal street. Hanging from the neck itoss the breast was painted two hands clasped in a grasp of friendship. On one hand was the word "Anarchy"' and on the otUr "A'tield." It was not uiril this moroing that the eff.gr was cut down by the authorities. Wheat' Lowest Price.

The Anarchists Co Free. The Chicago Anarchists, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fie' Jen at'd Oicar Neeie, have been pardoned by Governor Altgeld. Never in the history of the northern peuitenliary at Joliet has there been such a sensation at the prison a when the pardons were handed to ! Warden Allen. Kdward S.

It was found that no food except ice cream could be retained long enough to be digest ed. Ilecomlned himself to that diet, and was soon able to take some exercise. Since July 14 last he has eaten nothing hut icecream. 'u that date he weighed 14'j pounds and was hardly able to walk. Now he tips the beam at 2W and works early and late. This gain of 7'J pounds of flesh and the complete restoration of his strength on a diet of froii?n cream, eggs and sugar is some thing remarkable, and sounds almost like a patent medicine advertisement, but it is the simple truth as we got it from Mr. Tobin's own lips. : !! i Vi Is ider.

The shrond ehvelnping the from was torn to ahreds. The limbs were twisted and distorted, the hair torn, and in her hands she clutched a bunch of it. Those who were engaged in disinterring the body fell back entirely overcome. The only composed msn in the party was the demented husband.

July 12 The fact that the Senators from the Western States are not unanimous on the silver question, and that some of them will probably vote to repeal the Sherman silver purchasing law, seems to lend an additional interest to the contests which were landing when the Senate ad journed its extra session in April last in the case of Senators from Montana, Wyoming and Washington. Iu all three of these states the Legislatures got into a prolonged dead lot k and adjourned without electing a Sena tor to fill the vacancies that were to occur on the 4th of March. These three contested cases will probably bring orf a bitter and protracted preliminary fight before (he Senate can settle down to tbe business for which the ex'ra session was convened. In addition to these potent prob abilities cf delay, there are the unacted upon resolutions of inves'Jgstion ia tbe case of Senator W. N.
