, " THOMAS CoKwIN.-0n last Saturday,
Col. Medill reiterated DIR. Olds' charge a.
gainst Thomas Corwin, and after we showed
his meanness in so doing, he stated on the
day of the election, that the editor of the
Eagle had received despatch from Sam
Medary, stating that the teIegraphic report
was false. Since then, the Washington pa
pers have come to hand, containing the re-
port OF the committee, signed by two Loco
focos and one Wing, exculpating Mr. Cor
win, and we now publish the fact in order to
holdup the LIBELLERS to the contempt
of every honest man. Let the brand be
placed upon their foreheads, that the finger
of scorn may be pointed at both. So far as
DR.. Olls is concerned, this Office was per-
formed for him by Col. Medil and his friends
years ago; but justice will not be satisfied
until the other is similarly situated. That
which Medill then said through the Ohio
Eagle against DR.. Olds, can now be applied
by some of the latter's friends against him
self. Gradually, but surely, they are both
sinking into the grave of dishonest politi-
clans, and Medary's epitaph, though written
years ago for the one, can then be inscrib-
ed upon the tomb-stones of both

with another family,in all 6, arrived, and to-

number was taken sick with the cholera and
died; in few days another was taken sick
who also died. In the meantime, James the
cid mans son came on visit; he was also
taken sick and died the first day; his wife

she went to her fathers where she died;
girl that lived in the house also died, and 3
others, numbering III all nine. Out of the
whole number none Of the family were left.

several quarts of cider The process istin
placing the apples ina box, aud by means
of two rollers, with knives on each, in the
bottom of the box, the fruit is grated into a
fine pulp, This falls, underneath. into "a
tub, which is open between the: slaves, and
after covering the tub. with the cloth which
lines it, it is transferred to the press, at the
other end of the machine, and the cider is
pressed out in a very short period of time

DEMOCRATS RALLYISG UNDER A BRITISH
FLAG.-The Wilmington (Dclawar Jour.
nal, of Tuesday, informs lis that at Demo.
cratic ''mass meeting held there on Satur-
day last, the British national flag floated o.
yer the platform on which the speaker stood.
And under that flag Democratic orator is
reported to have denounced Gen. ScoTT as
a coward and thief!
The democratic party is entitled to all the
benefit that can accrue from a general
knowledge of these facts. They bring to-
gether two OF the distinguished features Of
Democratic organization in the canvass and
appropriately symbolic the influences that
are at work to promote the election of the
Democratic nominee. 1t is proper that a
party which is hailed by Britain and her col
onies as peculiarly favorable to British in
terests, should display the British flag wher-
ever Democratic machinery is in motion
1t is natural that the men who are not asham-
ed to rally under foreign flag at an Amer
ican meeting, called to discuss American
politics, should be bold enough to heap cpl
thets on the name of Gen. SCOTT. British
intrigues, and maylinp British gold, deserve
some acknowledgement; and the Delaware
Democrats have only played candid part
in hosting the British flag, and in outraging
the character of one whose earlier glory is
associated with the humiliation of that flag
upon the American continent.
The American people will readily com.
prehend the whole affair Washington Re.

The GARDINER CLAIm.-It must be re-
mcmbered that this claim was not against
the United States Government, but against
Mexico. 1t was paid out of one of the in
stalments due to that country upon the "pur-
chase" Of Peace for 100000. Ii was
not allowed by any member of the Cabinet,
but by Board Of Commissioners appointed
under an act of Locofoco Congress. The
Attorneys for Mr.. Gardiner were really act
ing in mis- behalf against Mexico and not a.
ganst the United States. When the claim
was allowed, with the exception of one in
dvidual, the Principal and all his Attorneys
were members of the Locofoco party. Mr..
Corwin at that time had no interest what
ever in the claim. Mr.. Soule, Locofoco U.
S. Senator from Louisiana and warm
Pierce man, has practiced before the Board,
others OF the same party have done the same
thing, and OF course come in for share of
the deEunciation and abuse of their own
party. But Mr. Corwin is exonerated en-
tirely by Locofoco committee, and the
LIBEL against his character was again re-
iterated by Col. Medill. Natures great
Poet, than whom no one understood human
nature better, has declared that he, who
wonld rob his neighbor OF his good name, is
INFINITELY worse than he who steals his
purse. ..... -.t- T.. s--.......r. -.

/ The IROS BUsISEss.-We learn from the
Pittsburgh GG;ette, that the great majority
OF The iron furnaces in the Valley OF the
Allegheny, have succumbed TO the pressure
brought about by the operation of the tariff
OF 1916, aided as that truly British policy
was by unusually low prices in England
These prices were so low that the Pittsburg
manufacturers were undersold in the small,
and profitable varieties, in the markets that
they usually supplied, even on their own
Ohio River. The consumption of the raw
material fell off very greatly in consequence,
the mills only working half time or stopping
entirely. The market for pig metal being
lessened by this compulsory closing of the
demand for it, the prices fell below the cost
Of production, and all the weak establish
ments were obliged to suspend, many of
them being sold at ruinous sacrifices under
the sheiiff's hammer, others falling into
partial dilapidation, the operatives being
scattered and the proprietors unable to sell
or go on for the want of means. The Brit
ish policy places our manufacturers at the
mercy OF contingencies over which we
haveno control, no one being able to fore
see With reasonable probability the state
OF the market for year to come. 1t is true
that new events in the history of the colo
nips Of Great Britain, have raised the price
Of iron there, so that our works are partial
ly in operation again. But even if it should
increase SO rs to, put our furnaces and mills
in operation, it is humiliating 10 be thus at
the mercy of any country, particularly Of our
ancient enemy, whose tender mercies and
parental care we have had quite enough hex
perience Of. In 1913 the rail road bubble,
which had been increasing for several years
in England burst suddenly, and its effects
on this country for want OF sufficient pro-
lection, was disastrous in the extreme,
breaking down most effectually this branch
OF industry. The enormous capital of Eng
land was able to sustain her manufactures
from its crushing effects in that country,
helped as they were by their allies in this
country, by this means averting the ruin
that mustfall somewhere, from themselves,
and pushing it on ou operatives. We think
! it strange and unpatriotic for party that
| processes to be republican to aid in break
down our own interests, or what is the same
thing almost make them subject to the
fluctuations OF the British market, rendering
the employmentof Of capital in almost every
branch of business hazardous, and instead
of making us Independent of foreign ma
tons, placing US at their mercy, or their ca
prices, or even such events as they have
little or no control Of.

Microscope. This insect is inhaled from
ID the atmosphere, and by fixing itself into the
mucous membrane of the stomach and lungs,
produces irritation and inflammation of the
lungs, stomach and small intestines; which
irritation is tran smitted to the liver, through
the duct leading from the stomach to the
gall bladder, and extending itselfto the spine,
brain and heart, through the irritation of the
nerves, and thus producing all the symptoms
of cholera. OF the existance of this green
