GOVERNOR WILLIAMS, of Indiana,
died last Saturday, aged 72 years He
was a rather remarkable man, very
popular in bis party, and known as
"Blue Jeans" Williams in politics.
GOVERNOR HOTT has made a proc
lamation of the election of the Repub
lican electors for President and Vice
President, and called them to assemble
at Harrisburg on the first Wednes
day of December next, to cast their
ballots as required by law.
TnE Presidential electors will meet
at their several State capitols and cast
their votes for President and \ ice Pres
ident on the first Wednesday iu De
cember. Congress is directed by law
to open and count these votes on the
second Wednesday in February, and to
declare the result.
MICHIGAN gives 53,000 majority for
the Republican electors at the late elec
tion, and Minnesota over 40,000. On
the other hand Mississippi gives over
40,000 majority for the Democratic
electors. It is pretty well settled that
Garfield has a majority of the popular
vote in the whole nation, which will
reach about 80,000.
IT has been some years since we
had, at this time in November, the
cold weather of the past few days. On
Monday morning the thermometer at
this place was two degrees below zero.
The winds have been sharp, aud little
snow has fallen. Much in the vegeta
ble line, that was not fully covered or
secured, was caught and frozen. Al
together it has been as sudden as se
vere.
Tiie contest for U. S. Senator in thin
State i« waxing. The list of candidates
is already as long as your arm and
growing. The policy seems to Ix; to
lengthen it ns much as possible in or
der tha* local pride may withdraw
some of Grow's supporters and make
it more easy to bring in a subservient
ring candidate. Thus fur the one to
be favored by Cameron is kept in the
dark. Local jealousies haven't disor
ganized Grow's phalanx sufficiently for
him to be brought out and go to gath
ering up the fragments. But he will
make his appearance in due time, and
then will be manifested the kind of ma

whether they have vertebra or gristle.

NEW BANKRUPT LAW.
We see that an attempt will be made
to pass a new, or amended,as it is call
ed, bankrupt law through the coming
Congress. If we understand popular
opinion the people want no more bank
rupt law of any kind. They are
against it on principle, and believe ii
wrong in principle. The state laws
are sufficient for all just and honest
cases Xo more bankrupt laws should
I mj the doctrine, and remonstrances
should be forwarded to Congress to that
effect.
PRESIDENT HI-13ELF.
Every Republican in the land who
known, or hah read the life uu<l charac
ter of James A. Garfield, President
clect, has full faith and believes that
he himself will he, in fact, the next
President. He will choose h H own
Cabinet without dictation from thin or
that "boss," or without any attempt
to please cliques or rings iu any stale
Any other course would only embar
rass his Administration, and his ser
vice in public life has been varied and
long enough to tell him thut. He eun
well afford to act iu all his appoint
ments and recommendations for the
■whole Itrjjublicun party, without re
gard to this or that existing Senator,
or this or that combination in any
fctatc. He knows over what influen
ces he himself was nominated and how
the people thought and yet think of
"boss" ways, as it is termed.
And no body believes thit tbero wan
made, or is such a thing as the "Treaty
of Mentor." General Garfield is the
people'* favorite, and owes all his suc
cess to his own industry, brains and
integrity. No President ever was
chosen who haw more or more
ability to act for himself, and we lift
lieve all his appointment* to office will
be of the be#t and inotrt, worthy mow. I
His will be a new Administration, and
all wish fur its success—aud if success
ful, General Garfieli will be his own
successor in the Presidential office.
THE NEXT CABINET.
The C ncinnati Commercial has a
tw i co'umn double-headed "stunner '
on the subject of President Garfield's
Cabinet. The article might l»e enti
tled, "What Mr. llal>tead knows about
Cabinet making." He starts out with
the assumption that Mr. Garfield is his
1 own master, aud will do what he can
to harmonize and strengthen the Re
publican party.
I As to the Cabinet, Blaine, according
i to Field-Marshal HaUtcad, will name
the Secretary of the Navy. Conkling
j will select the Hon. Thomas C. Piatt
;as Postmaster General. Piatt is a
{ warm friend of Conkling, will be heart
| ilv endorsed by the New York 1 ri
\bune, and has a personal claim in the
fact that he cordially espoused the
cause of Garfield immediately alter his
nomiuatioo. Pennsylvania is alio to
have a Cabinet officer, and "he will not
be displeasing to the Camerons. Mr.
Ilalstead graciously add- : "We could
make Don Secretary of War, if that
would make h.m happy, and let Penn
sylvania elect Simon Cameron and Ga
lusha A. Grow Senators." As to Sec
retary Sherman, it is affirmed that "the
country would be better satisfied with
his continuance in the Treasury De
partment than with any change that
could be made, ' but if be does not re
main in that department it is doubtful
whether there will be an Ohio man in
the Cabinet If Sherman should pre
fer the Senate to service abroad, he
could possibly be returned to that
body, tboi.,h "Foster and Stanley M it
tbews wild contest with him for the
honor. Mr. Matthews' ambition is a
seat on the Supreme bench of the
Cnited States, which he could get il
Justice Swayne would retire. Should
the latter named geutleman prefer to
remain on the bench, the French Mis
sion might be open to Mr. Matthews.
As to the south, Mr. Hal stead thinks
it will be "left out iu the rain," as no
particular benefit has accrued to Hayes'
administration by recognizing that sec
tion, arid none is likely to follow should
Garfield imitate his example. Indiana
will expect a Cabinet officer, and Gen
eral Harrison can have a place if he
wants it. But be is certain to win
senatorial honors, aud is said to prefer
the Senate. Senator Logan, singular
ly enough, has a desire for a Cabinet
positiou, and if chosen, say a- Secreta
ry of the Interior, General Grant would
• lie willi gto succeed him in the Sen
. ate, having ambition in that direction.
The onlv Cabinet office Grant could
lake consistently with the dignity of
his career, is Secretary of State "but as
Garfield would not care to associate
with himself in the daily transactions
of business so immense a personality as
that of General G ant," he will not
1 suggest to him the folio of the State
Department, but tender him promptly
the English mission.
As to Carl Schurz, who is "intel
lectually the equal ol Garfield himself,''
he would l>e "the ideal Secretary of
State," but "if the virtue of political
prudence should not permit that, the
Gerniau mission would become him."
The Pacific coast, although uot speci
ally deserving, would lie assigned the
Secretaryship of the Interior, "rather
than that the corner of the country re
cently swallowed up iu rebellion should
have it."
We have thus given the substance
of Mr. iialstead's article, leaving our
readers to form their own conclusions
as to its value. The following tribute
to General Grant, which forms a part
of the same article, is significant, coin
ing from a paper which was so bitter
against him a few mouths ago :
"The admirable conduct of General
Grant since the Chicago convention has
obliterated the unpleasant impressions
formed while he was urged for a third
term. It is much to say, but we say
it sincerely aud irladly, that he has re
gained that which his indi.-erect friends
lost for him, aud stands as high as he
did a year ago when lie landed on the
Pacific coast, honored and celebrated
by all nations. Our point is, that any
thing but the Presidency is at his dis
posal—the Presidency never again—
anything else always."
Making Bauer Kraut.
The best we ever ate we made our
selves for many years, and for a con
siderable time with our own bands,
aud always with Savoy cabbage. It
was manufactured iu this wise : Iu the
first place let your '"stand," holding
from a balf barrel to a barrel, be thor
oughly scalded out ; the cutter, the tub
and the stamper also Well scalded.
Take off all the outer leaves of cab
bage, halve them, remove the heart
and proceed with the cutting. Lay
som* clean leaves at the bottom of the
stand, sprinkle with a handful of «ult,
fill in half u bushel of cut cabbage,
stamp gently until the juice just makes
its appearance, then add another hand
ful of salt, and so on until the stand is
full. Cover over with cabbage leaves,
place on top a clean board, fitting the
space pretty well, arid on top of that a
stone weighing twelve or fifteen
pounds. Stand away in a cool place,
and when hard freezing comes on re
move to the cellar. It will be ready
for use in from four to six weeks. The
cabbage should be cut tolerably coarse.
The Savoy variety makes the best
article, but it is only half as produc
tive as the Drum head and Flat
Dutch. v

A Great Calamity.
ST. TALL, NOV. 16.—A bulletin to
the Pioneer Press from St. Peter says:
The number of live- lost by the burn
ing and freezing in the insane asylum
are v riously estimated from twenty
to fifty. The loss on the building is
$300,6 0. A special dated at four a.
m. s-civs: The scenes at the burning
at the south wiug of the hospital were
heartrending in the extreme. So ap
palling a sight has rarely been wit
nessed, and we trust may never lie
again. The patients in the annex
winsr were males. Many of them re
fusing to leave the building at all.
They ran up and down the halls
screaming aud crying aud acting Hke
bedlamites. They were, of course,
those who could uot lie coaxed nor
forced out of the building and become
the unhappy victims of the flames and
suffocated in a pit of flames. Others
were saved, some by ladders and some
by leaping from the windows. Some
were n. arly nude, some shoeless and
hatlesb', all were exposed to the ex
ceeding cold cf the night. Many of
tht- poor demented aud crazed inmates
fled as if for their lives and could not
be overtaken or confined. Their buffer
ings in this frightful condition can
better be imagined than described.
The whole catastrophe is fearful to
contemplate and impossible to describe.
The poor, dazed inmates of the asylum
who bad escaped the flames were at
large half clothed and were to be seen
it. all directions flying in wild fright
from those attempting to save them
The air was bitter cold and the poor
wretches with half naked bodies and
bleeding feet, were flying about hiding
in alleys aud dark corners. It was a
sight once seen never to be forgotten
F'>r some time the capacity of the
building has been tried to its utmost
There were about 000 patients and
every inch of space utilized. What
will be done with the-*; poor creatures
turned out in the cold and their mala
dy increased by the excitement of the
occasion, is a serious question. There
are two other buildings situated in the
town which are used but are already
crowded to their full capacity. The
asylum at Rochester is full and will
doubtless e unable to provide accom
modations for any of the inmates at
St. Peter.
Another special says while ibe
flames were slowly progressing the
matron of the female department made
all haste to get the inmates out, and
many of them ran shrieking in their
night clothes in the suow drifts, even
hurrying themselves in the snow, and
bad to be dragged in barns and sheds,
while those near by wrapped blankets
and shawls around them. Hence in
tense suffering could not e avoided as
they bad to be taken about fifteen or
twenty rods through the snow to the
nearest shelter, which was on a hill
immediately in the rear of the south
wing. Yet when we turn to the male
apartment our blood runs cold, as we
gaze into those burning walls and real
ize what was the doom of more than
one poor demented man. The actual
number burned can not be gotten at in
any way at the present time, as many
are known to have wandered away in
the intense excitement that prevailed
throughout the whole premises. Sev
eral bodies were taken out of some of
the rooms and halls. Several persons
were gotten out into the balls, when
they would seem determined to return
to the flames. One room, occupied by
two, was broken oj>en and while one
was dragged out the other was deter
mined to remain in her warm bed, and
when dragged out insisted on waiting
to be dressed.

How to Drees a Turkey.
There is much practical wisdom
among the poultry men, that does not
get into paper or books. A turkey
raiser who prides himself on sending
to market the handsomest lot of tur
keys in his town, for the Christmas
market, tells us how he dressed his
birds. The turkeys are fed as usual
the night before butchering, and in the
morning are driven in upon the barn
floor, as soon as they coiue from the
roost, and are made secure. Their
crops are empty, and they can be
caught as they are wanted. Make a
slip noose of strong cord for each tur
key in an adjoining stable or shed, put
the turkey's legs into the noose, and
witha small pointed knife stick the
bird as near the head as possible. As
soon as the bird is dead, strip ofT the
feathers, pinfeathers and all. Cut the
neck off as near the head as possible,
remove the wings and draw the en
trails, before taking the bird down.
The turkey is hung up alive, and
taken down ready f<r market. Lay
the bird on its breast or side upon a
clean board to cool. They should be
carefully handled in dressing, to avoid
breaking the skin, for it rubs off very
easily when warm. li smove all the
pinfeathers and pack the birds when
sent to market, in clean straw, so that
there will be no marks of blood on
them. Handsome clean dressing will
add a cent a pounJ, and oftem more,
to the market price of all kinds of
poultry.
A. De id Look Prob ble.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 20—The
death of Gov. Williams makes Laac
I'. (Jray Chief Executive of the Slate.
He is a native of Chester county, Pa.
He removed to Union City in 1855,
where he still resides, in the practice
of law. Gov. Morton appointed hiiu
Colonel of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry
and he also raised and organized the
One Hundred and Forty-seventh In-'
fantry. He was elected Senator in
1808 In July, 1870, he was appoint
ed Consul to St. Thomas, but declined
the appointment. He was a delegate
at large to the National Liberal con
vention in 1872 at Cincinnati, and was
a member of the National Committee.
Since then he has acted with the Dem
ocrats. Under a pleasing exterior and
suave manner he hides an indomitable
will and aggressive character. He was
unanimously nominated Lieutenant
Governor in 1876 and again in 1880.
This promotion somewhat complicates
the political situation here. The Sen
ate is a tie, politically, and Gray, as
Lieutenant Governor, wus expected to
give the casting vote to enable the
lk-mocrats to organize. With him out
of the way a JoeJi may ensue, to
the detriment of public interest*.
