The beautiful Champion Banner was
borne off in triumph by Liberty No. g.;

A procession was then formed, and
by the light of torches all marched TO
the cars, where the work of loading
the engines commenced. And thus
ended the Tournament at Battle Creek,
which upon the whole, was probably
as satisfactory as could have been ex-
pected. But of one thing we are GER
tain, all companies left with highly
favorable impression of the enterprise
and liberality of the citizens of Battle
Greek, and whatever dissatis STAG ton
may exist in the minds of our boys in
regard to the ruling of the judges, none
but the most pleasant feelings are ex-
pressed in regard to the hospitality
extended to them by the citizens and
fire department of Battle Creek.

tempted at times to take this or that

eW Now Mr.. Republican, we put
this question to you, give us plain
yes, or no: Is not the Supreme Court
of the United States the only tribunal
to finally determine questions arising
under the Constitution ?-Cassapolis
Democrat.
We unhesitatingly answer NO.
Hundreds of questions may arise under
the Constitution over which the Su-
preme Court has no jurisdiction what
ever. Were the judges of the Supreme
Court of the United States the ulti-
mate arbiters of all constitutional ques-
tons, it would place us under the des-
potism of oligarchy and the judges
themselves would soon become des-
pots. If the Democrat wishes to ar
que this subject with us, we are ready.

THE CATTLE DISEASE IN New
York. = The pleuro- pneumonia has
made its appearance on the Hudson
river, having had its origin, probably,
in the distillery stables in this city. At
Wallis Gate, Orange county, no less
than fifteen head Of cattle have died
within the last few days, and Mr.. Jacob
Storms, of Southeast, Putnam county,
has lost seven cows within two weeks.
Mr.. Alanson Ager, of Carmel, lost five
cows by Introducing into the herd an
animal which had been brought from
New York where she had been con-
fined for long time in an underground
stable; and Mr.. Joshua Barnum within
short time lost fifteen head of cattle
by turning them out to pasture from
a two months confinement in the hot
stable under his barn. saf

What's the Difference 2.

Can any Democrat tell us the practl
cal difference between judicial inter
vention and Congressional interven.
ton for The protection Of slavery in
the territories, except that the former
fastens it upon them much more Ger.
tainly than the other. The Supreme
Court may declare a law of Congress
regulating the question unconstitution-
al. But Congress has no power to dis
turb or set aside decision of the SUI
preme Court A slave code, therefore,
might be only temporary, but a decis-
ion of the Court declaring the existence
Of slavery in the territories, would be
eternal! The latter is Douglasisne ;.
the former is Breckinridgeisna.

close and the result is doubtful. Off

ion, Washington, and Barnhill coun-
ties. In all these 1,O3O votes for the

last year 1872 Democratic votes, and
600 Republicans. a~e
Material changes have taken place

showing Republican gains on last year,
and others Republican losses. Conse-
quently both parties are hopeful of Sc
curing the member Of Congress this
year.

Gov. Seward Coming TO Michisan--Letter
from him.
From the Detroit Tribune, June 80.

From the Detroit Tribune, June 3d. .'s
1t will he gratifying to the many
friends of Gov. Seward in Michigan
and that embraces the Republican
party in the State-to be informed that
he will at an early day in the present
campaign, visit Michigan, and address
the people on the political issues of the
day. We give below letter received
from him on the subject, and invite the
attention of every Republican. in the
State to its contents. 1t breathes that
uniform personal magnanimity and de-
votion to the cause and its candidates
which characterizes his life, and will
be read with pleasure and profit by all
who respect him. Let its admonitions
be responded to by every Republican
heart. Due notice of the time and
place where Gov. Seward will address
the people of Michigan will be given
hereafter: ~
AUBURN, June %, 1860.
My DEAR SIR Your kind letter
awakens sentiments which / will not
undertake to express. My heart over
flows with gratitude and affection to
my friends and the whole Republican
people of Michigan. To the full extent
of my ability, their wishes shall always
be to me as effective as command.
By-and-by, after some respite at home
from which have been absent, ex-
cept in few stolen visits, eighteen
months-I will meet you as you pro-
pose. But, in the meantime, do not let
your Committee wait for me. Let them
proceed to organize and concentrate
the energies of the Republicans under
the leadership of the worthy and dis
tingnished candidates approved by the
Convention at Chicago, assured that I
should feel it a calamity, and almost a
reproach to myself throughout my re-
naming life, if any one of. the band of
loyal patriots, with whom have acted
so long, should fall back from his ad-
vanced position in the coming engage
ment, the first one, am sure, Of long
series of national triumphs of our
righteous cause.
Very faithfully yours,

Firemen's Tournament--Greatest Throw
ing on Record. - Hamilton No. OF this
Village throws 2Sl feet and inches
The fourth annual Firemen's Tour
nament for the State of Michigan, was
held in the city of Battle Creek on
Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
The attendance at the Tournament was
much larger than at any former one,
and the proceedings show it to have
surpassed all previous gatherings of the
kind ever held in the United States, so
far as regards throwing water great
distance is concerned. The different
companies along the entire line of the
Central road, and some in the Southern
part of the State, have been for some
time drilling for this Tournament, and
much more interest has been manifest
ed in the country towns than in any
previous year. So far as regards num-
bers the Tournament may be set down
az a complete success, and that it would
have been SO in other respects, we are
confdens were it not for an evident
pre-concerted determination on the
part of the Detroit judges to have the
next Tournament held in that city, to
which end their united action was put
forth, and their course in this respect
caused considerable feeling among the
firemen of various portions of the
State.
After the arrival of the different
trains of cars, with the firemen and
their apparatus, procession was form
ed of the different companies and citi-
zens of Battle Greek, headed by the
Battle Creek Band, the champion Ban
ner and the various prizes, which
marched to the Tournament grounds,
when short but appropriate address
was delivered by L. D. Dibble, Esq.
After the address, the companies enter
ing the contest on distance, proceed
to the selection of judges, when the
crowd adjourned for dinner.
At the appointed time, after dinner,
the different companies re-assembled
on the grounds, and the contest on dis
lance commenced. The rules for play
ing were, that each Engine should use
two hundred feet of hose, with such
extension on the breaks as the Com
pany might desire. Fifteen minutes
time was allowed each company to
place their Engine and make their
throw unless in case of bursting hose
when five minutes more was given.
The following is the result Of the

MIR. Creeley,s Letter.

We publish on our first page, the
famous private letter of Horace Gree
ley addressed to Mr.. Seward, and about
which so much has been said since the
Chicago Convention. In our. opinion
there is nothing in the Letter discredit-
able to the author, or which should
compromise him in the least. 1t is
perhaps well known that many citizens
of New York have often asserted that
man as uncompromising and bold as
what Mr.. Greeley proved himself in
attempting to reform abuses, would be
useful in office: and that he did not
decline the use Of his name when thus
proposed by his friends, cannot, we
think, be considered very heinous
crime, nor one that should be con-
structed to his disadvantage, especially
as he gave his influence and his abilities
to the party as energetically as ever;
and when we take into consideration
the position of the parties at the time
this letter was written we confess that
we cannot perceive any very great in
justice to Mr.. Seward in it, nor can We
look upon it as very disparaging to the
character of Mr.. Greeley, or which
should weaken the the great influence
he yields as political editor.
For some years prior to the time the
letter was written he had been attached
to the political fortune of Mr.. Seward,
and his distinguished services in that
behalf he not unreasonably thought en-
titled him to more consideration than
he received. His circumstances were
such that he was in need of assistance,
and it was not unnatural that be should
have expected to receive some personal
advantage through the success of Mr..
Seward, in the dispensation of political
favor. Mr.. g. finally determined to
detach himself from service devotee
to the promotion of individual ambi-
ton, and apply his energies wholly to
the cause of his country; and his char
acteristic frankness led him to write
private letter to Mr.. Seward, giving
him notice of that determination, and
assuring him that although he hoped
he should never be found in opposition
to him, he wished to be counted even,
and should thereafter take such
course as he might deem best, with
out reference to the past"
The publication of this letter shows
Mr.. Seward that whilst some of his
friends may be reliable, their mistaken
zeal in referring to such document
renders them very untrustworthy.
The letter appears in the Tribune of
the l4th. appended to which is an arti-
Gle in explanation of some of the allu-
sions therein made, concluding as fol-
lows:

The remarkable "distance" attained
by several of the machines was owing
to the fortunate cooperation of the
wind, which was high during the whole
trial, but being variable happened to
be more favorable during the working
of the May Flower and the Hamilton.
At the conclusion of the exercises
on Distance, it being tea time, the
Judges on Quantity were appointed,
and further business was postponed
until Thursday morning, ateighto'clock.
The first thing in order on Thursday
