It's reputation is so well established that il Is
scarcely necessary 10 particnlarlze its advan-

of the farmers TO a few of It's merits.

A Speech by President Lincoln.

~ rat.n5.g WASHINGTON August 16.,.
This afternoon the 164th Ohio regiment,
Colonel j. c. Lee whose term of service has
expired, paid their respects to the Presl-
dent, in front of the Executive Mansion who
addressed them as follows: 5H ono lu'aai
y-'sSoLDIERs: You are about to return to
your homes and your friends, after having
as learn; performed in camp conpara-
lively short term of duty in this great con-
test. / am greatly obliged to you, and to
all who come forward at the call of their
country. wish it might be more generally
and universally understood what the coun-
try is now engaged in. We have, as all will
agree, a free Government, where every man
has right to be equal with every other
man. In this great struggle this form of
government and every form OF human rights
is endangered if our enemies succeed.
There is more involved in this contest than
is realized by every one. There is involved
in this struggle the question whether your
children and my children shall enjoy the
privileges we have enjoyed. SAY this in
order impress upon you, if you are net ale
ready impressed, that no small matter
should divert us from cur great purpose.
There may be some inequalities in the prac-
teal application Of our system. 1t is fair
that each man shall pay taxes in exact pro-
portion to the value Of his property; but if
we should wait before collecting a tax to
adjust the taxes upon each man in exact
proportion with every otheriRaH, we should
/ never collect any tax at all. There may be
mistakes made sometimes; things may be
done wrong while the officers of the Govern
ment do all they can to prevent mistakes.
But beg of you as citizens OF this great
Republic not to let your minds be carried
off from the great work we have before US
this struggle is too large for you to be d.
yerted from it by any small matter. When
YOU return, to your homes rise up to the
height Of a eeG,. ~cation of men worthy of a
free oovernsnent On = We will carry out the
great work which we have 01'.'IG1 1d;a..
return to you my sincere thanks, 'AS' g. ?
for the honor you have done me this alt.

AbOUt Arkansas.

Ed tors Tribune My attention has been
called to an article iii the organ of jeff Da-
Wis, paper published in this city, called
the Times, Of this mornings issue, in regard
to the situation in Arkansas, which is cal
cu1ated to mislead the public in reference to
the real condition Of affairs there, and beg
to netice it,
1t is not true, as stated, that secession
lists are masters of nearly the entire State"
Much the largest portion of the State is to-
day under Federal rule. The headquarters
of Gen. Steele, commanding the Federal
troops, is at Little Rock, the capital a bril-
gade Of his forces occupy Pine Bluff, fifty
miles lower, Oh the Arkansas River Another
occupies DuvaIl's Bluff, en- White River
"a division occupies Forts Smith and Van
Buren,, on the extreme west border. Helena
is also held. Thus, more than two thirds of
the State is not only i'll possession of, but
governed by Federal authority.
Gen, Price, at the head of the rebel army
is at Camden, on the Ouachita River, down
near the Louisiana and Texas border, and
few guerilIas are struggling about through
portions of the State stealing horses, &C.
This is the situation" as understand
it, and being citizen of Arkansas, and hay
ing frequent letters from reliable persons
there think ana better prepared to give
a true statement Of affairs in Arkansas than
this rebel sympathizer, of the celebrated
Times" paper in great favor down in
Dixie. Chicago Tribune.

GEN. GRANT ON SLAyERY.-Sena4or Will
son'r quotation of Gen Grants views Of sla-
very having been questioned, the following
is given as the precise words used by Gen.
Grant III letter to Hon. +. 3. Washburne,
dated Aug. -, 1868:
The people Of the North need not quarrel
over the institution Of slavery. What Vice
President Stevens acknowledges as the cor
ner stone Of the confederacy is already knock
ed out. Slavery is already dead, and cannot
be resurrected. it would take standing ar
my to maintain slavery in the South, if we
were to make peace to-day guaranteeing to
the South all their former constitutional
privileges. l never was an abolitionists, not
even what would be called anti-slavery, but
| try to judge fairly and honestly and it be
came patent to my mind early in the rebel
lion that the North and Sonth could never
live at peace with each other except as one
nation, and that without slavery. AS anx
iOus as am to see peace established,
would not, therefore, be willing to see any
settlement until this qestion is forever set
tied. lilo .r,.s #.

The New Comet Visible.

Mr. Hind the astronomer, writes as fol-
lows to the London Times: a .s
SIR: The comet first observed on the 9TH
inst is now distinctly visible to the naked
eve in the constellation Taurus. and will be-
come each night a more conspicuous object,
its approach to the earth being very rayid.
Between and O'Clock this morning the
nucleus was as bright as a star of the fourth
magnitude, and the tail about two degrees
long, though somewhat faint The real di-
ameter of the nehulosity surrounding the
nucleus would be upwards of110, 1000 miles.

REPEAL OF THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE; LAW.
MINORITY REPORT.
VIEWS oF THE MINORITY, SUBMITTED by
HON. c. r. BuCKALEW,

IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, ANB
ORDERED TO BE PRINTED WITH THE
REPORT OF THE CoMMITTEE.
The undersigned, 4 minority of the
Committee on Slavery and the Treatment
of Freedmen" TO which committee were
referred sundry petitions for the repeal of
all existing laws of the United States fer
the rendition of fugitive slaves, have found
themselves unable TO agree with the major
ity of The committee in the views express
ed by them in their proposed report to
"tho Senate, or to concur with the majority
in reporting bill in accordance with
the prayer OF the petitioners.
The majority of the committee declare
the acts OF Congress of 1898 ane 1850, in
aid Of the reclamation of fugitycs from
service" and labor, to be unconstitutional
and inex podent, and their report is res
nnle Of the arguments which heretofore
have been made against such congresson-
al legislation. 1t is, therefore, o proper
occasion for restating the grounds upon
which Congress proceeded upon former
occasions in making provision by law fer
the reclamation of fugilives from labor,
and TO refuto and repel once more the
.impassioned and unjust objections by
which that action Of Congress has been
assailed.
The fourth article of the Constitution
contains seven miscellaneous provisions,
the third and fourth of which, contained
in the second section, are as follows
GA person charged in any State with
treason, fcloHy or other crime, who shall
fee from justice and be found in another
State, shall, oD demand of the executive
authority Of the State from which he fed,
be delivered up, to be removed to the
State having jurisdiction OF the crime"
"No person held to service or labor in
one State under the laws thereof, escap-
ing into another, shall, in consequence OF
any law or regulation therein, be dischar.
ged from such service or labor, but shall
be delivered up on claim of the party to
whom such service or labor may be due"
These cl fuses may be described as in
the nature of clauses CT extradition, aud
if they appeared in treaty between States
perfectly independent Of eaoh other, and
without common agent or authority for
the determination of questions between
them, would be executed exclusively by
the political authority Of the State where
the fugitive from justice or labor should be
found. They would be only articles Of
compact or agreement between independ-
ent parties, the execution of which would
be question Of good faith in the party
upon whom the obligation would rest
And the remedy for a breach of the obi
CATION would be by the action Of the State
