patches from St. Petersburg, dated on the
9th of June, giving accounts from Arch
angel of the destruction of shipping in the
White Sea by the breaking up Of the ice,
from which It is inferred that the loss has
been much greater than was previously re-
ported. More than ono hundred ships
were lost, and the crews were in des-
perate position on the coast of Lapland,
while some were on drifting foes Of ice.
The British government has taken meas
urcs for sending assistance to the crews of
the wrecked vessels.

MICHIGAN SWEEPSTAKES

Manufactured by ]. s. UPTON CO at Battle Creek,
Michigan.
This Machine has acquired an enviable reputation
wherever 1t has been used, the MOST successful,
economical and profitable Machine for both farmer
and thresher manufactured.
We claim it is superior over others in Simplicity,
Excellence Of Construction, Ease of Draft Quality Of
finish and durability.
The lumber used is "stuck up" year more and
is then cut up and thoroughly kiln dried.
Lake Superior and Scotch Pig IrOn the best in the
world. are used altogether for our castings.
The manufacturers employ the best mechanics, and
devote their whole time and attention to the manu-
facture of the Sweepstakes-each part of the work
under the personal supervision OF some member Of
the firm, and they determined that no imperfect
material shall go into any Machine.
With its extra large Mill and Shoe, the Michigan
Sweepstakes is enabled TO thresh. without waste all
the grain set Of hands possibly get to it; and it
can be crowded" with less loss than any other Ma
chine ever manufactured.
They have spared neither time or expense to bring
the Michigan Sweepstakes'' to perfection. and we
now claim that II is the most perfect Threshing Ma
chine in the world.

H The Democratic papers ha

E The Democratic papers have
made much ado over a telegraphic
statement that the Hon. Schuyler
Colfax, in his recent speech at
Wooster, Ohio, said he longingly
counted the days until Congress
should again meet, when Andrew
Johnson would be brought before the
Senate for impeachment, and ex-
pressed his opinion that the Presi-
dent would not dare to prorogue
Congress, saying that if he attempt
ed it he well knew the end would be
that his feet would dance upon air,
while the law. making power would
continue to perform its functions.
In letter to the Chicago Tribune,
Mr.. Colfax quotes the dispatch, and
remarks:
"That was pretty near what said;
but as, at time like this, men who
are in public life desire to be judged
on their eract positions, may / ask
brief space in your columns to say
that counted the days till Congress
would again meet, because in twenty
days after that time Edwin nj. Stan
ton would go back again to the War
Department, in spite of the malig-
aant President who sought to expel
him from the position in which he
had served the country SO faithfully;
that when Congress resumed it's leg
islative authority, the House, in &C
cordance with the demands of the
loyal masses throughout the land,
would be required to place the Presi-
dent before the tribunal provided by
the Constitution, to defend himself
there from the charges of persistent
usurpations and persistent violations
of the oath which requires him to
take care that the laws shall be faith |
fully executed; and that, while 1 did
not believe Mr.. johnson dared to
fulfill the threats against Congress
now being made by his Washington
organs, apparently in his name, yet
whoever did dare to destroy the
Legislative Department of the Gov
ernment, by revolutionary force,
whether President, Cabinet Minister
or citizen, would be tried for bis
treason, and punished as traitor,
with his feet, not like the traitors of
the recent rebellion, on the earth,
but in the air."

~ The repudiation of the Cover

~ The reputation of the Govern
ment obligations advocated by the
Democrats, is having its legitimate eff
feet in Europe. A Washington tele-
gram says:
The tenor of all official information
from Europe is to the effect that recent
speeches on finances are being used by
spectators and parties hostile to the
United States with the greatest indus
try, and with considerable effect, in de-
preciating the national credit; that
United States bonds have fallen very
considerably, mainly through these in
fuences, within the last few weeks, and
that Rueter's telegraph agency mani
tested the utmost alacrity in dissent
mating reports concerning our finances
bearing the worst constructions; and
even an absurd rumor has found its way
into Europe, and has gained consider
able credence, that the November in
terest due on our bonds is to be paid by
the Secretary of the Treasury, in green
backs, instead of gold. To these state
ments and reports, an official reply has
been furnished, that, practically, an
expression on this subject is useless, as
no one can reasonably doubt that even
with moderate degree of prosperity,
the paper currency of the United States
will be on par with gold, long before
the time thegold bearing securities of
the United States shall be presented for
payment, the first issue of $50 bonds
having yet about fourteen years to run.
Therefore, it is insisted that the present
discussion, as to whether the bonds
are payable in gold or not, leads to no
practical good. af
