OUR COUNTY
Every Republican in this county
should have at heart the welfare ,and
perpetuity of the Repairlien party,
and the well-being of the county.
Such being the we, he will desire
that a strong and unobi92.4ionsble
county ticket may be made at our
approaching. nominating contention.
He must then be in earnest at the
dek:gate election and exert. his in
&Lem* there to accomplish Bach 'a
result. A ticket composed in - part
of gOod men, may be so loaded down
R ' itb
twit or three bad ones, that all
may be swamped by defeat. See to
it that the best and most reliable
men are sent es delegrtes to the con
vention, and that they are instructed
to lippport the best men for Domino
tionyand uncompromisingly oppos4

will prove a load upon the party.
Candidaaes are in the field who do
not deserve a nomination. at such
be rejected. No honest man will fear
to . do his duty. lt is within the pow
er of the Republican electops to keep
untrustworthy "roootinewho come
to . conventions to traffic' upon their
votes, out of the convention, and it
ig their duty to do it, The Republi
can party is not so perfect but that
reforms are needed, The place to
begin is at our primary elections;
and then go on through our county,
State and National conventions.
Economy and integrity should char
acterize our public affairs. The im
portant responsibility now imposed
by law upon our Boar!' of County
Commissioners, requires both practi
cal talent and conscientious • moral
integrity in the administration of
that office. They calculate and gov
ern, the expenditures, provide for
raising the money. and the disburse . -
ments are under their direction.
Miaow profligacy or reckless, mis
management may bankrupt the
county. The, interest's of the tax
payers are more , .directly in their
hands_ than in those of any other.
officer. They should be of the best
men, and be - better paid for • their
services than the law now pays them.
The Treasurer also, who receives and
disburses the .money should be a man
of unquestioned integrity and capac
ity, who will have a vigilant watch
care over the finances of the county.
In this connection, it is not improper
to call the attention of 'the present
Board to the question of the Treas
urer's commissions on receipts and
disbursements of county moneys.
They can reduce the commissions on
rintwhnusuA ism& Dnri tha nnwlp
elected Board nhould in January re
duce the commissions on e the general
fund. The public are remarking upon
the. items in the Auditors Report,
which show the comiaiesiona paid the
County Treasurer . lust year to have'
been over $3,000 and saying it is
"too much and silluld be reduced."
Under the levy of taxes, the re—
ceipts and disbureements will be
much leas_and the commissions con
saquently less by nearly one thousand
dollars this present year, . leaving
them probably $2,000 to $2,500. But
this is thought too much, and that
$1.500 would be ample, and there•
fore the commissions should be so
reduced as to bring the Treasurer's
cotnponuo.tiou tbio Swim) Fog ycar.
It will be the duty of the Commis
sioners to respect the public demand
in this regard
We have endeavored to make these
suggestions in proper temper from
a sense of 'duty, and no one, either
an officer, or a candidate can find
any , reasonable cause to complain
that we have called pOlic attention
hereto
IF JAMES tionnos .BENNETT of the
New Yoi k Herald, had happened to

have been seriously woutided in hiS
bloodless duel with young May, and
had received the surgical treatment

Going for the Cranks.
WA ourroorox, August I.—The au
thorities here intend to make an exam
ple of certain persons who are suspected
of writing threatening letter' to promi
neut officers of the Government, if rut
ficient evidence of the villainy can be
obtained. The eebret-service officers of
the the. Treasury Department have in
formation that the letter to Secretary
Windom making certrin threats, the
origin of which is being investigated,
was written by Bissell, formerly of? the
secret-service, in a hotel on Pennsylva--
nia Avenue, below Four-and-a-half
Street, in the4vesence of .a man who it
is understood has given Chief Brooks
his statement. A long-haired Greek
lunatic, named Dr. Lachtnyntis, was
arrested to-day at the instance of , the
Government detectives on the charge
of sending threatening letters to Attor
ney General MacVeagh and other Gov
ernment officials. He was told for a
hearing. Since the shooting of the
President the threata and incoherent
ramblings of these cranks have attracted
much more, attention than heretofore.

track of the ball below- the margin of
the-twelfth rib, which., it is believed.
will effect the desired object. He bore
the eperation well, and has how recover
ed froni the effects of the etherization,
and is in excellent condition. •
4:40 p. m.—The President has felt
rather weaker this afternoon than °mud.
and experienced some nausea 'as a . re f
stilt of ' this foienoon's etherizltions.
On the whole, however, he has *allied
well from the opersti3n. and tne
ear
geons report his condition as satisfac
tory. His pulse is a little higher than
yesterday at this hour, but any t3ree - pl t •

says: - “The President has-the most will

issued the President suffered some for
a time from nausea, due to ether, but
this has now subsided. He has hid
several refreshing naps, and his general
condition is even better than -might
have been expected after the elherizs

BLAINE . B DISPAVECII
Secretary Blaine sent the following to
Minister Lowell to-nigliti'
The President's condition at 'll
o'clock to-night is colpsidered by his
physicians encouraging: The increase
of pulse and temperature is regarded as
a natural result of the radical operation
of thii in which a deep incis
ion of three inches in length on the sue.,
face was made. The same cause may
possibly produce still higher ikulse and
temperature to-morrow. Decided ameli
oration is confidently anticipated by
the surgeons. /
km. HAMILTON'S ENCOURAGING OPINION.
About two ounces of pus came.trom
the President's wound after the opera
tion_ wee' performed. 'The wound is
acting in' a ". very' satisfactory manner
since. Dr. Hamilton said the Presi
dent had not been suriously worse, end
the operation was decided - upon more
to ovoid trouble than to remove it.
.He
anticipated no further interruptions and
was very well' 4istisfled with the Presi
dent's condition. He returns to New
York to-day. - •
11:30 p. m.-The President did not
frilly recover from. the effects of this
morning's surgical operation until after
the evening examination. He suffered
more or loss throughout the' afternoon
from nausea caused by the •ether; was
rather weaker than yesterday and not
able 'to take the tumid quantity of
nourishment; Milk with lime water
was given him as soon as his stomach' ,
would bear it. After the direct effect
passed away and later in the day, he
had meal juice and beef extract, but was
allowed no solid food. His pulse. pro
bably 118 a result of gastric disturbance,
was 'rather high during the afternoon,
and at 4:30 went, toll% but his tem
perature did not rise correspondingly
until about the time of the evening ex
amination, when it reached 10 , 1.9. The
febrile rise shown by this temperature
was more pronounced than usual, 'but
was fully acconnted for, in the judg
ment of the surgeons, by the operation
and its consequent nervous excitement,
and by manses and other effects of
ether. It therefore cansedno anxiety.
Early in the - evening the fever began to
subside, and the President wentAo
sleep quietly without anodynes. Since
that• time his pulse and temperature
have slowly fallen, and his general con.:
dition has improved. At this hour
his pulse is 98, skin moist and healthy
in tone, temperature, not more than
half a degree above normal and he con
tinues to sleep quietly. Dr. Bliss ex
presses the opinion that he will have a
refreshing night and when he awakes
be will be entirely free from fever.- It
is possible there may be considerable
febrile disturbance again to-morrow.
before the patient begins permanently
to improve, but the ulthaate result of
to-day's operatkin is expected to be
numbed; and a decided' champ tar the
better. The incision made this morn
ing eannot be closed or _distended by
the process of gramdatlon, as the old
track of the ball wai, _between the nits,
for the room that the eta is through
the ma, parts of the body where there
are no bones to prevent - spreading or
separation of the aides of the wound,
whenever they begin to close in the
process of healing. The presettt incis
ion, therefore, can be kept open and
unotottimb3d as . long as may be
necessary. and no fear is entertained of
and further uuppression - of the dis
charge. Dr. Hamilton lass returned to
New York.
We sansoros, Aug. 9. The condition
of the President yestsiday was near the
same as the / As, previous. He slept
the greater Part of the night, and with
out anolyna. At 8:33 this . morning,
his Pelee was,9B and temperature 99.8.
Nixtrialunent:has been given him in liq
uid form, and resulted in no gastric dis
turbances. The wound discharges
spontaneously and freely and, indicates
that there will be no further-trouble in
that direction. The fever keeps high
as a • result of the operation, but as
soon as the effects of it' pass, a speedy
and favorable. change is anticipated.
The surgeons seem satisfied with the
progress of the case. Dr. Agnew has
returned to Philadelphia. 'The Presi
dent is very weak and is almost worn
out with the strain. " Au soon as prac
ticalile, an attempt will be made - to find
the bullet.
WASHINGTON, Au& 9. Secretary
Blaine sent the following to Minister
Lowell:
The physicians give an encouraging
report of the President's condition.
The pulse and temperature have slight
ly diminished since morning. The pus
is flowing freely and his appetite is im
proved. He has been "able to sleep
with comfort, lying on the _wounded

they expect a decided cbange for the
better.

Badge Black in his reply •to the in
fidel doctrines of Bob Ingersoll, in
the 'columns 'of the North Ameriar):
&New, makes the following good hit
at Ingersoll's assumed benevolence:
"He is struck with horror by the sac
rificial Solemnities of the Jewish -re
hgeon. 'The killing of those aniniejs
ins,' he says, 'a
,terrible system,' a
'shedding of innocent blood,' 'shocking
to a refined soul.' There is such
'a depth of tederness_ in this , feeling,
and sub a splendor of refinement,
that I give up without a struggle to
the superiority of the man who merely
professes it. A carniverous American,
full of beef and mutton, who mourns
with •indignant sorrow because bull
and goats were killed in Judea three
thousand years ago, has reached the
climax of sentimental goodness, and
should be permitted to dictate on all
questions of peace and• war."

kamioan Onnitar.- 4 19hy should
not a railroad company be let alone - to
_manage ita &ohms in its own way, the
SIM as $ merchant manages his 'busi
ness- ? Doinot commercial rules apply
in both casestP-,ls it not a question of
supplrand demand, and competition ;
does not' the merchant sell a large
quantity cheaper than he does a small
quantity, and everybody get all they
can?
Cinzxx—"There are the following
material differences in' the situation:
The railroad corporation performs a
public function—that. of farniShing
public highways; it exists encl..* on
ly carry on its busineis by the permiss
ion of the public, because it k 'for pub
lic use and benefit;' it is allowed to
take a citizen's property at an apprais
ed valuation, without his .consent,
something that no prkate person or
business man can. do, and after the4p
ital invested in building a railroad hal
received a fair compensation, the te4
of the advantages of steam roads
long to to the public, the natural owner
of all highways. In one sense, railroad
charters are in the nature of a partner
ship between the State and-the corpo
rations. The corporations build and
operate railroads for the sake of char
ging certain .tolls. In the State of
New York, and I believe in most other
States, it was expressly stipulated that
these shall be reasonable,' and based _
upon the cost of the, service rendered :
the word ' reasonable'.. was (..efined as
follows : when the rates charged yiel
ded in-excess of ten per cent. net upon
the actual cost of construction, then
rates might be' lowered by'lair and - the
public receive their, benefit in the part,
nership in the shape of reduced rates
for transportation. This agreement
has been shamefully evaded by the
railroads, and through stock-watering
and other methods,, the public have
been obliged to pay far more than they
ought for steam transportation on land.
Regarding -competition, it does not
work to the same extent .in railroad
transportation as it does in other lines
of business. Combinations take place:
a railroad is a natural monopoly ; rail
roads cannot be multiplied indefinitely;
every citizen cannot put his own ear
upon the railroad track, the same as
he can put his ship upon the oman or
his steamboat upon the river. The
railroad is a common carrier, but there
the similartty to the ship or steamboat
ends. The public interest is , not pro
tected by competition a.s'it is on the
ocean or in private enterprities, hence
the necessity for s restrictions upon rail
road companies sfrhich are not required
in private business."

Criurr.-="True, in •many places
rates bare largely declined, but not
nearly so much as they should have
done: Reduced rates for transportation
have largely reiniltedi from mechanical
improVements which 'have be en made,
and also from increase of , business, .the
result of increased population. • For
instance, sled rails, lasting from three
to six times as long Its iien'rails, now
cost but little. more than 'iron ; loco.
motives haul from fifty to sixty per
cent. more than they did ten years ago.
Freight cars weighing ten ton a few
years ago, only carried ten tons, or a
ton of paying freight for each ton of
dead weight, in roiling stock. Im
provements in these ears have been
made until it is not uncommon for
them to now carry a tan. and a -- half.
and sometimes two ton, for each ton of
stock. Clever inventions have enabled
the -supply of labor- required in opera
ting a road to be greatly reduced, and
in , many other ways improveinents
have been effected which ought .to ind
- I
ure to the benefit of the public. Rates
for railroad transportation in this coun
try should be much less than in other
countries because of these improve
ments, and the long IMuls and cheaper
construction here ; , also the public aid
in lands (upwards of. fortysix millions
of acres,) and subscriptions which have

RAm RoAD - OFF Icui..—"Why so ?"
I don't see that the public has any right
to these improvements and advan
tages, unless we choose to give them
the henefit.'
crnm.—"There is where we differ
again ; the theory of our patent law is
that after the inventor has received a
fair compensation for his trouble, ex
penses and-genius, Au. the rest of. the
advantages belong to the public ; and
the theory of our railroad law is that
they are only entitled to a toil 'or
charge which will yield then' a fair re
turn on the actual investment, - and
this toll must be uniform and impartial
to all citiiens.
RAILROAD OFFICIAL C Well, if that
is the ground you takeoron won't find
many men going into the railroad

ness." i
Crnim.—"Won't we ? What is.the
first incentive to the building of a rail
road ? Is it not very largely the desire
of the people - of a certain settiond-to
have better outlets to market, and the
desire of ,ownersef real estate to make
their property more valuable by con
necting with the larger lines of com
munication ? Through these motives
have not state, county and municipal
interests largely aided in the construc
tion of • these improved highways ?
Witness the 'millions of dollars which
the people of the State of New York
aS well as other States, have contribu
ted for this purpose. Do you mean to
tell me that the Vanderbilts Goulds
and other highway grabbers are enti
tied to any consideration for the inven
tion and contraction of these improv
ed highways? They have simply gone
into the business Incense they AIM that
the benefits of . steam and Oed:ricity
were so enormous that they could steal
most of the advantages, and that ;the
public would be satisfied with the rest.
They saw _that by consolidating' and
combining snaill and often competing '
links of railroad, they could-organize
a machinery for taxing all production
and commerce, sulk as the World has
never been, and it - is only after they
have exercised this power to ai extent
I which haS given them fabulous-wealth,
and endeavored to perpetuate_the sy-E
-tem, and rivet the fetters of -a privileg
ed class upon the masses by corrupting
our elections and legislation, that the
people arii beginning to wake up to a
true appreciation of the facts. Look
at the history of the Harlem road ;
when Commodore Vanderbilt obtained !
possession of that road he .doubled the
rates of freight, find on the principle of
charging !That the traffic would bear"
has drained the lion's shake of the profit
of production throughout that entire
region, and as far as circumstances
would permit, he has pursued the poli
cy with all his railroad ventures. When
he took possession of the Harlem road
twenty years ago, its stock was quoted
at about $l5 per share, and the rate of
freight at that time for
,transporting
milk to. New York -was 30 cents per
can ; it was gradually raised to 00, and
only after a great contest did the peo- 1
ple succeed in reducing it to its
present price of 45 (as against an av
erage of 20 cents for similar - service
elsewhere). Notwishstanding the enor
mous general increase in population
and' values, property in Westchester
county along the line Of that road, con
tigitous as it is to the greatest market
in the country, is worth less to-day
than it was when Mr. Vanderbilt's
reign began. The reason may be found
in the doubled rates of fire for com- ..
ranters and the excessive freight rates
above mentioned. The capitalization
of the road is much als;ve what it could
be duplicated for to-di4-, and yet divi
dends have been wrung from the peo
ple of 'that section _to mite the 'stock
worth $lBO per share at the present
time. "
"The Hudson River Road runs parj;
alel with the Harlem, is operated by
the same management, and yet, having
water,lcompetitiim,.the average rates of
freight on the latter road are only about
half those on the Harlem. No one
doubts that the . rates- on the Hudson
River Road are sufficiently remunera
tive, nor those on the. Harlem are ex
orbitant. It is a simple iillustration
that might makes right,' and that a
free-booter, if be only understands the
habits of the American people, can - rob
them with impunity. The instances I
haVe cited are bnt types of out whole
railroad system. Is it any wonder that

DEATH OF THE BROTHER OF THE EX-PRZSI
DWI'. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.'
Orville Grant, brother of Ex-Presi
dent Grant, died, on Friday, in the
New Jersy State Insane Asylum, at
Morris Plains, of which he had been
an inmate for some time past: He was
born in 1835, and for tunny years en
gaged in the saddlery hardware busi
ness at Galena, Illinois._ When he
bad accumulated a fortune of $75,000'
he went to Chicago and started in busi-,
ness there. The disasterous fire of
1871 'destroyed, howevor, his entire
stock and left him , destitute. At that
time his mind received '"a ,shock from
which it never fully recovered. Darin
the administration of President Grant
Orville-figured extensively in, the War
Department scandals. Through his
brother's influence he secured a one
third interestin 'the post of Standing
Rock, with J. B. Casselberry and A. Is.
Bonnafon, Sr.. of , Philadelphia, al
though he never advanced.a, dollar to
wards the capital until Jannary, 1876,
when he put in about 82,000, but he
had theretofore drawn out $l,OOO on ac
count- 'of . profits. He became the
equal partner of Joseph Leighton at
Fort Peck, where the capital amounted
to about $25,000, although he had
never invested a dollar. Having had
the promise of the post-tradership at
Fort Berthold he withdrew his claims
in favor of a - man. rained Raymont
receiving therefor $l,OOO. It - has
never been denied'that Bonnafon and
Camielberry were the real owners of
the positions, Orville receiving for his
share in theq transaction thirty-three
per cent on all sales made at the posts
mentioned.
Mr. Grant was first detained the
Insane Asylum where he died, in 1878,
but was sclin released, as there-,.seemed
no good reason for refusing him his
liberty. The time of his retaking to
the asylum is not learned. His hallo
cinationwas that he was engaged in a
gigantic speculation involving -millions
of dollars. He conversed intelligently
end well upon the topics of the times
and spoke with brotherly t stide of the
Geneial, of whorir he wi l ts the only sur
viving brother. He- had a habit of
whistling softly to hin+df during the
lulls in conversation, was somewhat
emphatic in gesture, but on the whole
*as agreeable and pleasant in manner.
He preferred solitude and seemed._ to
be continually absorbed in his air 'ea.*
tle. In face and feature he was almost
the counterpart of the brothei who
has occupied so prominent a . niche in
American history.—Phila.i Times.

Schools and Churches.
Pas ass
Excellent advantages have been fur
nished in our country for • the educe
:
ion of the citizens, and churches, which
are intended to guard our morals and
fortify the government, are everywhere
protected bylaw.
Let us look at this 'matter of free
school Our-fat ers framed a govern
ment foir the peo e. But the, ignorint
masses hive litt idea of how so'cial
order is to be _ red, or what 'the use
of the ballot- im •es, and might easily
abuse the sacred advantages 'which
have, been gran them. To lay the
scepter of autho rity at their feet would
be like throwing
. pearis . before swine.
Hence the absolute need of educating
Our voters in their civil obligations, and,
as many of our citizens would be too
poor, or unwilling to pay for their chil
dren's education, there arises the ne
cessity of providing free schools.
= In the matter of education as in ma
ny other things; the several states have
been 14t to regulate their own affairs.
The New England States from the first
have guarded with jealous care the id
ielligence of their citizens', and very
complete educational systems are found
in all our northern states. Colonists
from Yankee Land going westward,
have no sooner made clearings in the
wilderness than they have planted
school houses, and in some of the Wes
tern States, as Michigan and Illinois,
imtnenEe endowments have been provi
ded in the interests of Education.
New York has about 12,000 Com
mon Schools, - xds,—a dozen or more in
each of her NO towns. She has high
schools in all the larger towns and a
State University. &sides, she fondly
cherishes, and endows in part a great
number oflndependent academies and
,colleges. New York is now spending
-ten dolletiris• - each year on her
public schools. Pennsylvania is-famed
for the same abUndant liberality in the
education fof her citizens, and all the
States to the west and south seem to
be emulating the example of their
older sisters in .providing free schools.
-
The South is at last waking up to this
matter, and recognizing the necess ity, ,
of educating her black poulation as well
as the white,, appropriations are now
being - made by the State governments
for that purpose.., No citizen among
us is so poor, not even the newly arriv
ed emigrant, that his children must bt
deprived of an enueition. Teachers,
books, and school apparatus, are hard
ly less accessible than the air we breathe.
If any grow up•hi ignorance it must be
charged•to the neglect of a splendid. op
portunity. And yet look at these figures
given by Prof: Gardiner of Albany.
at the State °University Convention
held recently in that city. - The voting
population of :the United States as
shown by the statistics of 1870 was 7,;
623,000. The number of illitterate
voters was 1,530.006. - Twenty °per
cent of the entire voting population of
the United States, and 45 per cent .of
-r flAn (m.l4.n•ns
could not read their ballots. - New
York has 77000 illiterate voters and
Pennsylvania 67000. Much of this
illiteracy is found in our 'rapidly grow
ing cities and among our recently nat.
uralizel emigrants, and yet, who does
not know of'children of native born
citizens - that are allowed to run the
streets as vagrants during school hours.
There are people to whom we intrust
- the ballot that -have grown' up within
sight of our school buildings and yet
are' utterly ignerant of 'their simplest
duties as Arnfrican citizens. That
many among us are growing up it,mo
ramusea shows the impossibility of ma
king intelligent Citizens by any' patent
process, it being much easier to provide
schools ilian to compel idle and- dissi
pated people to use them.
Not the least glory of our nation' is
the protection it gives to religion: The
civil power, as' I have intimated, finds
it difficult to enforce scientific - culture
upon the people, much less can it
enforce that more needed culturethe
' KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. But it can pro
tect' religious men in _their voluntary
support of churches ! To do less than
this would be to invite demoralization
and speedy: political ruin. Let the
State do What she-can to educate' the
intellect, expecting a Higher Power to
supplement her feeble efforts in educa- 1
ting the conscience. The State may
furnish schools• but she cannot make
scholars. The State can defend church
.l •
church
es ag,ainst, t
persecution, but she cannot
manufacture piety. The , State should
!not lay any form of religibn - as- - a
bon
° dage upon the people, but she ought, to
protect the weakest citizen in answer
ing his conscience before God.. It may
'happen, as we observe in our country.
to-day,qhat rival churches become too
abundant, but sectarianism is a folly
rather than a crime, and ekcess ofi:de•
nominations is a smaller evil than state
interference. Therefore oar govern
ment does Neal to permit the Presbyte
rian to formulate his ; difficult - creed,
and the Quaker to wear his broad
brimmed - 2hat in the . meeting.house
There is no harm in deacon's standing
up to pray, or in bishops' celebrating
high mass, , provided neither Plot
againk the government. , et every
-
man answer his own c science or
whim, provided he indulge :n no fa
naticism, like poligamy that endangers
the morals of the - people.
Great, blessings -it must be confessed
have been thus far enjoyed by the citi
zens of this Republic. The oppressions
.of which other nations 'Complain have
not been ours to suffer. No despot
during,the first hundred years of our
history has been able to put his foot

ber that it is too early to boast of the
