HOLSTEIN CATTLE. —At

$48.50.

IT IS five hundred years since Wy

DL BINO the late "cold snap" tbe wa
ter on the Connoqnenssing froze about
ten inches and the business in ice was
never known to be so brisk in this
place. The ice teams were thick upon
the streets for several days and tbe
amount boused was immense.
THE Eagle of this place continues
unhappy. We have not noticed it for
months past, yet week after week it
continues to snap at us like a rabid
dog. It seems as if still smarting
under defeat and evidently wants
to keep up strife in tbe party.
The object appears to be to cre
ate suspicion among our political
friends aa regards our political integri
ty, and thus place upon us tbe same
bad character attaching to itself in that
respect. Last week it contained what
purported to be a communication to it
from Anandale this county, but which
anybody could see at a glance was
written here in Butler, by some smart
fellow who supposes he is a lawyer.
Being anonymous, and a low, coward
ly and false attack, of course we can
piy no attention to it here. And
have only to say at present, re
garding the same, that the people of
Butler county know both us and Mr.
Robinson—both of us have served
them in a public capacity—both been
tried by them, and on both a verdict
rendered as to who were faithful ser
vants, and who weighed in the balance
and "found wanting." We could af
ford to leave the matter there, but in
view of the conduct of the Eagle man
agement within the last six months,
involving acts of the utmost meanness
and dishonor, we may be compelled to
go a step farther in another direction.
It will then have the opportunity of
seeing where the "rebutting evidence"
will come in.
THE LATEST.
If Gen. Grant were not previously
disgusted with tbe nonsensical propo
sitions of his super-serviceable friends
in different parts of tbe country, to
make him Captain General—life Sena

private charity, &c., &c., then the lat
est proposition of some "fool killer" to
make him a U. S. Senator for Pennsyl

WHAT EXCITED IT.
The following are the complimenta
ry notices of the CITIZEN that so ex
cited the envv of the Kaule of this
place last week. We would not now
publish them only for the malice and
chagrin displayed by our uneasy
neighbor. But it should not let such
little jealousy l)etray it. We are sorry
there is not some respectable journal
somewhere that could give it a certifi
cate of good character of some kind.
We would be glad to see it receive
such a certificate, but u great change
will have to be made in its manners
and matter before that can l>e done:

The Eights of Assignees in Bank
ruptcy to Recover.
The late decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of the Monongahela
National Bank vs. Isaac F. Overholt,
error to the Common Pleas of Fayette
county, is of much importance as bear
ing on tbe question of the rights of
banks to take more than the legal rate
of interest on loans. The opinion is by
Judge Trunkey, and reverses thejudg
ment of the Court below. The Judge
first quotes from the National Banking
Act, showing that "the taking, receiv
ing, reserving or charging a rate of in
terest greater than is allowed by stat
ute, knowingly done, shall be deemed
a forfeiture of the entire interest which
was to be paid; and fit has been paid,
the person piying may recover twice
the amount thus given" The question
for decision was the right of the as
signee of a bankrupt to maintain an ac
tion to recover illegal interest paid by
him before his bankruptcy. The Judge
holds that the right passes with all
other rights in equity, as it is not so
much penal as remedial in its character.
For United Sates senator.
AH all other Republican newspapers
have nominated candidates for the Uni
ted States Senate, why should the lie
publican be bashful; especially when it
is able to name one superior in every
respect to auy yet proposed? Men have
been brought out for this office who
are known only to a district or a State,
and who have served but as governors,
congressmen, legislators and the like.
Shall we withhold the nameofone who
towers above all these in everything
that is commanding among men? In
him we have poet, philosopher an.i
sage; statesman and warrior; farmer,
mechanic, merchant, Justice of the peace;
member of the assembly, congressman,
senator; elector in every State in the
Union and member of congress from a
dozen districts, if we search far enough
into the past; his name embellishes the
page of history and appropriates more
space in the city directory than any
other man in the universe; wc hardly
need say that we refer to John Smith.
Who is the man who left fame and for
tune in Europe, and decked with med
als till he could hardly walk, for his
services in slaying Turks, came to
America and, in partnership with Poca
hontas, raised all the first families of
Virginia? John Smith! Who stood
among the head of medical literature
in America for a long time, and presided
over the oldest College of the old Do
minion? Who, but John Smith? Who
was the first great ecclesiastical mind
to bring science and religion into har
monv, and make the one prove the oth
er? Who but John Smith? In all the
variations of his name, whether Smith
or Smithe or Smyth or Sinythe or
Smeyth or Smeiyth or any other con
tortionary orthography he may have
adopted to suit his whim or gratify the
vanity of his wife, we find him always
the same. Whether dicing on the
canal, carrying a hod, plowing the
briny deep or stiring up the fallow
ground; in the various enterprises of
private life, or as a public servant, we
find every one of him always walking
in the paths of honor. John Smith is
a man among men. He is more nu
merous than any other living man.
lie cast more votes for Garfield and
Arthur, subscribed more money for
campaign expenses, made a longer
torchlight procession, carried more
lumps, wore more capes, shouted loud
er and whooped her up among the boy «
to better advantage than any other
man in America, and he ought to be
made Uipted States Senator. We there
fore nominate him and second the mo
tion. The only drawback about it, and
a matter which may cause objection to
him in some localities, is, that when
Smith beat out the Pasha's brains with
a flail, he fjed to a Russian garrison on
th-j "Don." Really this |;ijs HO refer
ence to Don ('amoroii and we hope it
will not be used against Smith.—

CLEVELAND, DEEEIRLXR 2 —Durine
the visit of the Ohio electors at Mentor
t.i-Uar. ia response to an address o' ;
General Grosvenor in their liehalf. Gen
era! Garfield addressed them in the
following lun!fua<re :
I am deeply grateful to you for this
call and for personal and public
congratulations. If I were to look upon
the late campaign and its result merely
in the light of a personal struggle and
a personal success, it would probably
be as gratifying as anything could be
iu the history of politics If my own
conduct during the campaign has been
iu any way a help aud a strength to
our cause. I am glad. It is uot alwaye
an easy tbiag to behave well If under
tne trying circumstances my behavior
as a candidate has met your approval, I
am greatly gratified. But the larger
subject, your congratulations to the
country on the triumph of the Republi
can party, opens a theme too vast for
me to enter upon now. I venture how
ever to mention a reflection which has
occurred to me, in reference to the elec
tion of yesterday. I suppose that no
political* event has happened in all the
course of tho contest since the early
spring which caused so little excite
ment, and, indeed, so little public obser
vation, as the presidential election
which was held yesterday at midday.
The American people paid but little
attention to the details ofthereal presi
dential election, for a very significant
reason. A though you and all the mem
bers of the electoral College had the
absolute constitutional and technical
right to vote for anybody you chose,
and though no written law directed or
suggested your choice, yet every Ameri
can knew that the august sovereign
oi this republic, the nine millions of
voters, on an early day in November,
had pronounced the omnipotent fiat of
[ choice, aud that sovereign, assuming
as done that which he had ordered to
be done, entertained no doubt but that
his will would be implicitly obeyed by
all the colleges. That is the reason
why the people were so severely quiet
yesterday. They had never yet found
an American who failed to keep his
trust as a presidential elector.
From this thought I draw this lesson:
That, when that omnipotent sovereign,
the American people, speaks to any
one man and orders him to do a duty,
that man is under the most solemn ob
ligations of obedience which can be con
ceived, except that which the God of
the universe might impose upon him.
Yesterday, through your votes and the
votes in the various states of the Union,
it is probable (the returns will show)
that our great political sovereign has
laid his commands upon me. If he has
so. I am bound by his will and his
great inspiration and purpose as I could
be bound by any consideration that
this earth can impose upon any human
being.
In that presence, therefore, I stand,
and am aided by the majesty aud au
thority of such a command. In so far
as I can interpret the best inspirations
aiid purposes of our august sovereign,
I shall seek to realise them You and
I and those who have acted with us in
the years past, believe that our sover
eign loves liberty and desires for all
the inhabitants of the republic peace
and prosperity, under the sway of just
and equal laws.
Gentleman; I thank you for this visit;
for this welcome, for the suggestions
that your presence and your words
bring, and for the hope that you have
expressed, that in the arduous and
great work before us we may man tain
the standard of nationality and pro
mote all that is good and worthy in
this country, and during the corning
four years we may raise just as large a
crop of peace, prosperity, justice, lib
erty and culture as it is possible for
forty-nine millions of people to raise.
Governor Foster was master of cere
monies, presenting the visitors to Gen
eral Garfield. After an Interchange of

the company returned here and dis

Convention.
According to a fall previously issued
the Temperance Convention met in the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday, No
vember 23d, at 2 o'clock, p. M. Half an
hour was spent in devotional exercises,
and after that the Convention was
organized by the enrollment of dele
gates and the election of officers.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
cold (the thermometer had marked be
low zero that morning) there was a
good representation from different parts
of the eounty. One man had walked in
nine miles to attend the meeting, and
ladies had driven in ten and twelve
miles. Dr. 1). C. Babcock, of Philadel
phia; Dr. E. 10. Swift, of Allegheny;
Itev. B F Boyle, of Slate Lick; Rev.

were present.
Abouteighty delegates wereenrolled.
A committee of live on business ami
permanent organization was appointed.
Ilev. W. I'. Turner, of the M. K.
church, IJutier, was chosen President
of the Convention, and George A.
Black, Esq., Secretary.
Clarence \V Coulter prepared a map
of the county, on a large blackboard,
which proved to be a very instructive
and suggestive object lesson. This
map showed each township, and wher
ovcr a liquor licens" was granted, in
any towu.ship, the fact wan indicated
by a red spot. A number of the town
ships showed a clean record, while
others were spotted over, and 100 ed
as if they had the smallpox. Isutl«*r
and Fairvicw were especially spotted.
Mr. Coulter is also to prepare a large
m*p on muslin, which will not only
.show the eighty-four places which have
a liquor license, atid their location, but
will also gi 'e the location of each
church and school house in the; county,
so tiiat every one can see by a glance
at the map how the forces of Temper
ance and Drunkenness are arrayed.
This map will be re produced, if possi
ble;, in the (JhriMian Giver, one page
of which has been offered for its publi
cation.
After the organisation of the Con
vention, reports from town-hips were
called for, and a number of bhort re
ports were presented until the com
mittee on Business presented an order
of exercises for the afternoon ami eve.

able address on "Misread passages of

A b.:nd of singers, from different,
churches. Interspersed some Temper
ance songs, as the excrc ses proceeded,
and it seemed to be the opinion of every
body present that a " Temperance Song
Club'"' should be organized in every
boroc-rh aud township of the conety,
and be ready to aid in any meeting
which may be held.
At 9 o'clock, on Wednesday, the
