Gen. Longstreet is one of tho truly
reconstructed rebels. He is now in
New York. and reporter of the Trib-
une has Had talk with him, in which
the general said that the amount of the
cotton crop this year will amount to
two hundred million dollars, and will
set the South on its legs again, that
Chase was his man, and he believes he
would have been elected if nominated,
Grant is now his man that he don't
think there will be war if Seymour is

DISCOVERY OF Ruins IN ARIZONA
A party Of surveyors in Arizona, engaged
in exploring the country forrailroad routes
lately came upon some very extensive
ruins on the banks of the Little Colorodo
River. They extend along the river for
many milef. Some of the walls of the
buildings are yet IN their places, and stand
six or eight feet high. The streets may
be traced for miles. The old rIigating
canals and bitches are yet in fair state
of preservation, and may be traced for
miles also. The ground is strewed with
broken crockery,ware. The party found
some nearly whole vessels OF curious
form. The ware seems TO be of differ
ent quality, and finer than that found at
mosa of tpe rnins in Arizona. Many of
the walls Of the buildings were built OF
hewn shine, and put up in workman-
like manner. To all appearance here
ouce stood a city of uany thousands OF
inhabinants. Who they were or to what
tribes they belonged there is no record
left to show. On the east bank are the
ruins Of large structure or castle, Gov
ering several acres of handsome of the
walls are yet standing TO the hciget OF
twentp or thirty feet

Schlichter at once aroused doubts of his

the democrats make bold to declare
that they control the negro vote, and
they seem likely to by u system of pro-

Do NOT SWALLOW GRAPE SEED
Grape seeds, cherry pits, and the like are
insoluble in any or all juices used in the
process of digestion they must therefore
pass from the body in the same state in
which they are swallowed. In their
passage along the alimentary canal, they
cannot but produce more or less irritation,
end if theldigeslive organs are at al weak,
they must Of necessity cause great dstur.

REPUBLICAN, Notwithstanding adj
dresses on the political issues of the day
We're delivered in the Methodist Church
IN this place on Wednesday afternoon
by Hon G w Willard of Montpelier.
and Hon f ID Culver of New York -
Mr. Willard directed the attention of
the people to the importance of main
tanning and even increasing our Repub-
lican majorities in our state election -
He urged the duty of every Republican
to make special effort to get voters to
the polls. and to see that every one vo-
ted the state ticket. Mr. Wizards
style is easy and flowing, his tone,
manly and pleasing, his manner at
tractive. Judge Culver followed, in an
address of two hours length, going over
a larger field of discussion involving
the main questions at issue between
the two great parties, and showing up
Governor Seymour in his true charact-
er. The judge has a fund Of anecdote
and wit which serves him admirably in
making u political speech, and his
memory seems 10 be stored with the
former record of the candidates. This
speech was the best, for the time an
occasion, that We have ever heard. II
was the first time we have had til,
pleasure Of listening TO him. but We
hope it will not be the last.

though the Burlington Free Press says
the state can and ought to give Gov
Page twelve thousand more votes this
year than last, and that the republican
majority can be increased eight or nine
thousand if the democrats get out their
