who have supported liberal donations of the public
lands to the States, and who still urge the in
justice and inequality of giving 0n1v to the new
States while the old States who are equally emit
tied TO these benefits, are overlooked - Republican

No such thing. We have never attempted to ex-
hibit either the consistency inconsistency Of the
supporters Of these two schemes The inconsis-
tency to which we alluded was this, and it is one
which at the present moment is engaging much at
tention. The Know Nothing papers denounce the
system Of granting lands to raiload companies in
the new States, and charge the sin to the account
Of the Democracy, while those same papers Iaud IN

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OE THE MoRNONs.-We begin
to suspect that Brigham Young and the Saints Of
Utah are the victims of systematic defamation. The
frightfu stories written about them are doubtless
the suggestion of an envous feeling infamed in the
breasts Of Gentle correspondents by the domestic
felicities of Mormon gentlemen, il is wonderful
that an entorprisiug Beau from New York should be
indignant or that he should vent his wrath in ndis
crimiuate abuse when his approaches are so rudely
repealed by the "sealed" spouses of the happy old
POIvramisrs? Let us be cautious in Crediting his
stories He said bingham Young had fed from the
territory. when in truth bingham was only making
q pssoral visitation TO the churches Of the New Je-
rusalem. lie said the Saints had violated the
sanctitv of Federal Justice, but the tale was all
a fabrication It's safe to suspect that the Gentle
misrepresents the M0rmons, until we
have q confirmation Of his statements.-RichmOHd

ALUM IN BAEER's BREAD.-Dr. Gibbon, a new
appointed health officer of London, England, very
properly turned his attention to the quality Of bread
made in his District. He has analysed numerous
samples purchased Of different bakers, and he has
found them without exception more or less adulter
ated with alum. The common proportion is from
half drachm to drachm in the four pound loaf so
that the man who consumes half loaf day swal-
lows with it from fifteen to thirty grains Of alum
II is well known a medical fact that small doses
Of alum taken daily, will produce at first cOstvenes
and afterwards diarrhea and dysenteric symptoms,
with alterations and other unpleasant and danger
GUS consequences. The effect would be greater in
children than adults, and the symptoms described
would appear sooner. Dr. GibbOn admits that alum,
when it enters into chemical combination with the
gluten Of the -four is less active and injurious than
when administered in its pure state but he adds
81 have little hesitation in assigning this impurity
in the bread the chief cause Of the frequent cos
tipatiOn, headaches liver arrangements and similar
complaints, of those who are dependent on bakers
for their bread. The fatal diarrhea of infants I'M
der three years Of age may also have arisen from
have been aggravated by this cause"

The GRAIN PRosPECTs-Since the weather has
improved and the snow, ice and dreariness Of win
ter have disappeared the farmers and the press in
the ''rUral districts" Of this and other western
States are changing their lamentations prOba-
bic short crops into cheerful predictions of goodly
harvest The winter wheat it is ascertained as the
season advances, is not so badly killed after all
and the opinion is gaining ground that it WILL on
the whole, turn out as well as in previous years
We venture the prediction that the yield of wheat
at the coming harvest IN the West, will be more
abundant than it has ever been at any preceding
harvest and that the grain crops in this country Of
every kind will be most ample, both for home con-
sumption and the foreign demand. We almost daily
hear reports indicative Of this Of things from
various parts of our own and neighbOring States,
since the season has fairly opened.
The winter wheat in most localities looks we'll and
liberal extent of soil is being devoted to spring
sown wheat.
The quantity of corn that will be planted this
season is almost incredible and with anything like
favorable weather for planting and growing, by far
the heaviest crop Of will be gathered this year
that has been harvested in this eOuntry.-Chi-

THE Oh AND NEW ISSUES

The Know Nothings tell US that the issues made
in the Presidential election Of 1885, were, by the
result of that contest, settled and are no longer
subjects of discussion, and at the same time they
declare that the only issue upon which they are
willing to stake themselves III the coming contest is
the old and long settled question of Land Dstrbu-
ton While we are perfectly willing to meet them
upon this or any other issue they may make in or
position to the wel-defned principles of the Demo-
cratic party we do not intend to allow the mantle
Of obscurity to hide the enormities of Know Moth
ingism as advocated and practieed by them for the
last two or three years. The Democracy are op-
posed to the distribution Of the public lands, net
only because it would impose heavy burtheu Of
taxation upon the people, and re-inaugurate the
odious doctrine of high protective duties but be-
cause it is contrary to the genius Of consttu-
ton and subversve of the rights and independence
Of the sovereign States of the cOnfederacy.

lOnega Ca Signal Of the 10th inst, says:
The cry Of ''hard times is to be heard in al
quarters Of the up-country. In Gilmer, Fannin,
Union, and our county, provisions are becoming ex-
oeedingy scarce and we fear that many Of cur peo-
pie will suffer greatly before the harvest season rolls
around Many the families now in our county,
from what can learn, thai have been without
meat for weeks, and but small allowance Of bread.
Many cattle and hogs are dying from hunger A
gentleman informs US, who has just passed through
Fannin and Union countless that he scarcely passed
a farm which did not give evidence of some decayed
carcass, many Of which he saw. Truly, the times
are becoming distressing.
