distillcry Of Thompson and Sons, Of Osseo,
Hillsdale county, having failed to make due
and proper reports Of its disti!lations, was
seized aome time since, together with forty
nine gallons OF spirits and The distillfng ap-
paratus, which is now condemned and
ordered 10 be sold. Eaghty-two Eng

proposition, Elz that be would make string
OF thirty shots. with rifle Of Ills own make,

yards that the average distance Of the en-
tire shots should be one and ten-si1teenths
OF an inch from the centre, and that If he

teenths Of an jnch-he lost.
At two O'Clock, p. M. Sir. u. appeared upou
the ground, and quietly sat down till four
O'Clock, when he announced himself ready to
commence firing. In one hour aud thirty-fiye
minutes the thirty shots were fred, and On
measurement 1t vas found that the thirty
shots measured forty ELK inches and nine-elI.

III Ihe Cnppcthtads arc In the habit OF
denonncing the present as "rhmp Con-
gresss" notwithstanding twenty-five States
are fully represented In 1t, aud near
IT, thrce-fourths Of the entire pop
ulation .ot , the United States have
their representatives on its floor. Ono thing
is certain-aE the eleven rebel States had been
represented in Congress the Niagara SuIp
Canal Bill would not have passed the House,
and would not stand the ghost of chance to
get through the Senate. The const ructlon of
this canal will add ten per cent to the gross
value Of The agricultural products Of the
West. aud ten per cent to the value of the
farms In the West. Where the faluc of the
products Of q farm amounts to $500, the Ship
Canal will make them worth $1,000, and il
the farm is worth $1,000 now, 1t will be H.
creased TO slo,0 600 b, the construction Of that
National improvement. This is one of the
fruits Of the Republican Congress so constantly
snecrcd at and denounced by the whole pack
Of Coppcrheads. A Republican Congress en-
aclcd the bcncfcicnt Homestead Bill, which
was beaten BY the Democrats at every prcyi-
ous session while that infamous party held
sway in Congress. The great Pacific Railroad
Act Is another of the salutary measures Of
Republican legislation. Tint act WAS also
defeated BY the Democrats at every session
fora dozen years preceding the rebellion.
In fact, the leaders Of that party for the
past twenty yenrs have been hostile to any
measure or pn!fcy calculated 10 promote the
material or moral welfare Of the people. And
yet there arc classes Of the people who sup
port the candidates OF that bad, corrupt, dis.
loyal organization; but they are mostly lp-
