had been found at a camp-meeting ten

the citizens in the circumstance that the
church bells were rung for joy !-Daven-

reaction is tremendous.

manifesto of 1872 German Democrats of
the Eleventh Ward, who have formed an
anti-Miami Club, and declare over their
own signatures, that, "disgusted with

h..
leaders, and satisfied that so long as De-
mocracy exists in its present form they
have nothing to hope from it, they will,
at the coming election, vote the whole

Scientific American has no confidence in
the extraordinary pretensions set up for
this engine. 1t cannot see how it can
at all operate to do the work it has been
asserted it can do, and thinks it will

CINE.

Justly responsible for the defeat of the
Homestead bill in that body, and that we
cannot place confidence in the psuedo
Democrats, who thus refuse to report and
consider a bill so universally demanded
by the working men to whom they are in
debted for their present high position in
the councils of the country.
Resolved, That in the letter of accep-
lance written by Gen. Scott to the Pres
