The diicontented voter grumblei Icckuso taxes are bo high ; so he pro pose to vote for the Jartj which mda the waf and thai caused the hish taxes, - The discontented voter grumbles because the Republican part sup ports the spoils ejetcm ; so ho propoa- sif vo Yuie iur met jj.ui wuitu iiivcu i jj ted the spoils s jBiem. . Tba discontented voter complains of the operations of O&kea Ames and the Credit Mobilicr; to ho will vote for Samuel J. TilJen, whoso cunning advice enabled Ames to execute his Schemes. ' ' The discontented voter has a horri ble suspicion that Blaine made $75, 000 oat of railway shaies ; so he must vote for Tilden, who has gobbled up from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 in rail road wrecking. i . - The discontented voter imagines that the country will be mined if Eontwell and Chandler be allowed to electioneer so much bo he will escape this evil by joining , the party whose conventions are controlled by the sub lime John Kelly and the pure John Morrissey. The discontented voter is astound ed that the Republican party allows ehysters and smugglers to escape tax ation ; ao he goes and weeps at the party malignity that would compel Tilden to pay his income tax. The discontented voter is sad that the Administration has been so shift less as to borrow money at six per cent, interest, so ha will vota for the party of Buchanan, who borrowed at sixteen per cent, and soTd the bonds at a discount at that. The , discontented voter groans at the wickedness of the Administration - in turning men out of office for polit ical reasons; so ha seeks consolation in the action of a Democratic House of Representatives which made a clean sweep of the Union soldiers to maka places for those who gallantly shot at the defenders of the flag. The discontented voter is afraid that the enforcement of the laws by Grant will be regarded as an unwar . rantabla interference in the elections ; bo he would accept the results of the shotgun and midnight assassin system as one of the inconveniences of freedom which mast be tolerated in order to k secure the perfect purity of the ballot in those States which suffered most : through the late unpleasantness. i The independent voter was intense ly indignant that Grant should keep his mouth shut under the grave accu-. sations of being willing to accept office a third time ; but the silence of Tilden on the income tax is so digni , fied and majestic that he , can .hardly refrain from shouting a vociferous ap ; plause every time he contemplates its stupendous significance. .. The catalogue might be largely ex tended, but it is sufficient to show the extraordinary consistency of the dis contented voter. Frederick Hecker, of llliuois, the , heroic German patriot, is rendering admirable service to the Republican party in xnuiana, especially among the uermans. in a late speech he said : While iu Europe in 1873, and while on a casual visit to one of the largest banking houses in the old country, was asked whether I knew Tilden, of ' New York. Upon answering that Tilden bad the reputation of being au able attorney, tho banker answered me that Tilden had his fingers . in all the dirty transactions which caused European bankers to invest iu all . the bad, worthless railroad bonds of America. A similar character Tilden enjoys on the Bourse of Money Ex- change in London, Frankfort-on-the- mam, etc. He impression tbu3 crea ied by bringing such an individual forward as a candidate for the highest ' office in the gift of the people can well , bo imagined, especially when in his letter ot acceptance be portrays mofct damagingly the mnjority of his fellow citizens. What character must tho others bear in their estimation, when this same 111 den, who had his hands in the dirty work of railroad corpora tions, is the "pearl of tho nation V The New York Tribune puts it thus: 'the Democrats require, not only New York, but 12 more electoral votes, and even with New York and Indiana, if thev miss a single Southern State they are beaten. But there is at this time every reason to believe that they will be beaten in New York. With the aid of many thousand Liberals and Inde pendents, Mr. Tilden polled 416.000 votes in 1874, while in spite of the Liberals 440,000 voles were polled for President Grant in 1872. In this con test the entire Republican strength will be polled : it will be en-forced by thousands of Democrats who distrust the position of their party with re spect to the finances and the public honor. Similar changes will appear in other Northern States. The Re publicans have only 23 votes to gain, if they are defeated in every Southern State. Indiana with two other doubt ful States, or New York alone, would give them the requisite number. Two statement from reliable sour- eea deserve special consideration at present one. that there is cow a lar rr Confederate artuy iu array in the Southern States than at any period during the war; and the other, that more Union men haye been killed in the single State of Miasimippi since tho rebellion than were killed iu any HI, . tiate Y.

Holon Kobinson : All the farmers wore of the "well to do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to rruits and market trard enins. have grown rl?b. The soil is loam varying from sandy to clayey, and surface geniiy undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows in which deports of peat or muck are stored snlttcient to fertilize the whole upland sur face, after it has been exhaiiMted of its natural fertility. It is certainly ono of the most extensive icrine tracts, in an almost level position and suitable condition for pleasant farm ing, that we know of this side of the Wet ern prairies. We found some of the old est farms apparently Just as profitably productive as when hrst cleared of forest uny or a hundred years ago. 1 he geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The w hole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidence of calcareous substances, generally in tho form of Indurated calcareous marl, show ing ninny distinct forms of ancient shulls of the turtlary formation ; and this marl substance is scatUtred all through the soi iu a very coinmim.tod form, and in tho exact condition ixtot easily aaiimnilaU by fcuch plants a-i tUo farmer desires I . - '" TTu?
