SPEECH OF Hon. ID. A. NoBLE.--We have pc.
rused with interest the speech Of Mr.. Noble, of
this State, delivered in the House Of Represen-
tatives, Feb. Goth, on" the plan to levy tonnage
duties for the Improvement of rivers and bar
bors." The speech is an able one, evincing dill
gent research, and clearly calculating what we
conceive 10 be the true Democratic doctrine on
the subject of internal improvements. a. T.
The difficulties in the way of establishing Mr..
Douglas plan are forcibly made TO appear, and
the groundlessness of supposing that the pres
ent Administration is committed in its favor is
clearly exposed. We are proud of this able eff,
fort of the Michigan Representative against
scheme which seems to be generally regarded
rs impractcable by the people of the North
West

DISTINGUISHING MURDER.

Sheriff Pratt was summoned. on Thursday
last, to take into custody, Mr. James ]. X. Glenn
ents, Of the township OF Heath, in this County,
who had, either in fit Of madness or mania,
horribly butchered his own father. Mr. Jesse
Clements the murdered man, was near seventy
years old---a spirited genlemanly man, and for
his years very active. He came to this County
some two years ago from Geauga County, Ohio,
and was native of New England. The man
now under arrest for the murder, is some thirty
FIVE years old--a well-formed gentlemanly look
| ing man, and more than ordinarily intelligent.
From ali we can gather we conclude that
there must have been a settled bitterness be-
tween the old gentleman and his son, and which
had grown, on the part OF the latter, into liked
and determined purpose to do the former some
personal harm. He frankly charges and admits
that he has been so maddened by his father that
he formed the deliberate purpose of killing him
that he calmly intended it, and perpetrated it
with as much GOODNESS as any other act Of his
| life. t
1t is generally understood that the act was
committed by crazy man, but from protrac.-
ed conversation with him, we have been forced
to the painful conclusion that the only craziness
under which he labors is the result of des-
perate malice foamed to fury by vindictive
spirit.
The horrid deed was committed in the house
of the old gentleman, about noon. Two wo-
men were in an adjoining room and a young
man witnessed the atfray, but through fright or
want of spirit rendered little or no assistance.
After desperate and protracted scuffle the old
mans brains were dashed out by an axe.
The perpetrator of this SHOCKING deed is now
confined in the county Jail awaiting what action
shall seem proper in the premises.

CHICAGO DEMOCRATIC Passive notice
that the energetic proprietors of this paper are
about publishing a tri-weekly in connection with
their daily and weekly issues. The Chicago
Democratic Press is the official paper of the city,
and one of the leading Journals of the North
West. 1t is particularly devoted to local mat
tiers, especially such as are connected with the
progress of the lake country, and is, therefore,
well calculated to stake" with the people Of
this section. During the coming season our

will be increased in importance, and we have,
consequently, good reason to suppose that her
newspapers will find, with US, larger circua-

Press because we are acquainted with its merits

NEW MILLs.-Mr. BARBER's mill, at the
Point, has been in operation abou: two weeks
and works admirably. This mill is probably
equal, if not superior, to any other in this part
of the State, both in finish and in capacity to
turn out lumber. Besides this and the mill at
Holland,which will soon be completed, two other
steam saw mills will, in short time, be built in
this county, one by Mr.. ROBERTS, in Allendale,
and one by Capt. PARKS, opposite Sand Creek.
The present year will witness great increase
over any preceding one in the lumber produce
Of our county. All the mills in this vicinity
are now in successful operation. Large guam
titles of lumber, manufactured since the close of
the last sailing season, are now awaiting ship
ment, and mill owners are, without exception,
determined on prosecuting their business with
vigor during the summer months

LAND BILLs-On the 10th inst. the Minnesota
Land Bill was tabled ia the House of Represen-
tatives by vote Of 100 to &C.
The Wisconsin bill met smilor fate at a la
ter date by majority of three. In that case
a motion to reconsider was made, pending
which the house adjourned. The prospect of
receiving donations of land for railroad purpo-
ses at the present session is becoming very du-
bious. The multiplicity of projects brought
up for the consideration of Congress seems
likely to defeat nearly if not all the bills intro
duced.

DETROIT ELEcTIoN.-The Wings Of Detroit
seem to have "pricked up" amazingly at the
result Of the late charter election in that city,
but that there existed any real cause for their
loud halooing upon the occasion is what we
have yet to learn. The Democratic ticket was
generally successful, all bat the candidates for
Mayor, Recorder, Marshall and Physician, hav-
ing been elected by decided majorities. The
Wing candidate for Mayor received 1888 ma
jority, while the democratic candidate for d.
rector Of the Poor received 1897 A variety of
local and other causes seem to have controlled
this election, which can in no wise be consider
ed as arguing any thing in favor of an approach
ing ascendancy Of the Wing party. There was,
in fact, a want Of harmonious action in the dem.
ocratic ranks, and it is that which accounts for
the partial success of their opponents.

PHILA., Sept. 2ith--A sharp personal cores
pondence has occurred between Senator Cooper,
President of the Sudbury and Erie Railroad and
Morton McMichael, Esq, Editor of the Plila-
delphia North American, in consequence OF ar
tcles published in that paper rejecting on the
city subscription to the Erie and Snubury Rail
cad rs obtained by false pretences and malver-
alton. Mr. Cooper addressed note asking Mr..
McMchael if the language applied to him. In
reply Mr.. NJ. denied his right to question him.
but said that lie was legally, morally, and per-
sonaly responsible for that, as for everything
that appears in the columns OF the North Amerl-
can.
Mr. Cooper then sent for the Hon. VIM. Cost
johnson, OF Maryland, to act as his friend who
was the bearer of the challenge to Mr.. McMch
ae who asked two days for consideration. At
the termination of that time Mr.. McMichucl de-
clmed the meeting "a 'br ground that it was his
