The Chicago Daily Tribune, of July =

The Chicago Daily Tribune, Of July 81,
says:
Public Debt is to eventually get it ex-
changed into bonds bearing a lower rate
of interest thar any now authorized and
also to dispel the doubt that exists in re-
glrd to the kind of payment to be made
on the principle of the bond at its maturi-
ty."
The funding process, so well understood
by all but the Tribune, is a financial ques
ton that must and will be settled by the
people.
We care not for the Republican or the
Democratic theory. 1t is a question be-
fore the people. Congress never has ex-
hibited SO little Judgment in attempting to
thrust a measure for the oppression of the
nation. as they have in the late funding
scheme.
The law of 1866, authorizing the port
folio of the Treasury in funding outstand-
ing obligations, does not meet the wants
of the present Congress. The addition
to the debt, by converting present bonds
in gold bearing bonds, at a low rate OF in
%terest, is the ~favorite plan of increasing
the public debt. 1t won't work. Our
s%padeholder intends to pay our b%ondholdel
dollar for dollar in the legal currency
promised in the contract. He understand.

ton to the kind Of payment to be made, j

This AND Thar = = Scores
of Democratic papers throughout the

is a pure fabrication got up for election
purposes.-Northweste'n.
Theodore Tilton says, in the Mdepend-

stop him of t.is terrible drinking and
~smoking?a
Wendell Phillips says-Erdmine a Re

Who cannot stand up before a glass Of liq-
uor withomt falling.
Horace Greeley, while opposing Grants
nomination, said of him:
"More soldiers were uselessly slaughter
ed in the late war, through the blunders
of drunken officers, than by the bullets of
the foe."
Was Grant drunk at Shiloh?
Was he, not many months ago, drunk,
on Sunday, in the streets OF Washington ?
Are these squire fabrications, got up for
election purposes" by democratic pa
pers?'
Grant is a drunkard.-Thcodore Tlton.
Grant is a man of vile habits and nc
ideas.-Chief Justice Chase.

TIE BoNDs.-Readers who want to
know what they are about politically will
not fail to read the speech of Senator
Motion of Indiana, on the bond question.
Morton is q radical of the deepest shade.
His argument will convince any n that
the Democratic Platform of New York, is
the correct one. Look at the strong points
he makes, and then vote with the party of
the people instead Of the party who would
Sind yourselves and children to the de-
mands Of bloated wealth. We want no
uristocratic privileged classes here. Our
immense national Debt will soon bring
Lords and "Counts'' and all the other
cursed stuff of Europe if the masses are
too lazy OF too cowardly to protect their
own interests. Listen a few years longer
to the syrens who sing Of peace and
equality while they are sappin2 the found
atoms Of freedom and you will be obedient
slaves to the money power.

SUCCESS UpoN MERIT.-If there is an in
stance upon the records of our country
where an article of American manufacture
has made its way to universal favor solely
upon it's merits and without extraneous
aid, it is that of the Best Chemical Salera-
tbs. 1t has only to be sold in one place,
and it is demanded in another and so it
has gone on increasing in favor until the
products of the extensive Chemical Works
of d. b. De Land & Co., at Fairport,
Monroe County, N. Y, are now immense.
This article is made only at these works
by a process known only to the proprie-
tors, and is better for all purposes than

LAST TESTIMONY OF GEN. UALPINE.-
Among the last written words of the gem
erous and gifted Gen. Halpine, were his
opinions of Blair and Seymour: son the
whole muster-roll of our army no name
shone more conspicuously for personal
gallantry than that of Frank Blair. Few
officers have been more desperately wound
ed, and no officer has been more gloriously
conspicuous for never saying 'go' to his
men, but follow me-" y = "Knowlng
Seymour well, and having had opportuni-
ties to know him thoroughly, officially, and
personally during the war, We reluctantly
but firmly apply to whomsoever shall
question his action and practical loyalty,
the famous words of the great radical chief
who every charge which he deems
uniounded by this striking phrase Of the
pure Saxon dialect, ''You lie, you villain,
you lie; and-what the great radical
philosopher does not dove are willing
to be held responsible for these words"

Obituary.
We are indie bted to Rev. VIM. COBB Of
the nj. E. Church Cor the following excel
lently written notice of our late friend
JAMES WOODWARD, of Farmersburg town.
ship, Clayton county, Iowa. The oommu-
n~ication came to hand in due time for last
weeks issue but it was mislaid. We re-
greet its n"on-appearance before, but it is
too late now to do more than confess err
rors and publish.
NATIONAL, July 81, 1868.
ancc with your request l send you the fol-
lowing brief obituary:
JAMES WOODWARD, Of Farmersburg,
died July 9th, 1868, in his 18th year,
and was buried on Tuesday the 29th. AL
though the season was harvest and a
pressing time for labor, the large attend
ance at his funeral gave evidence of the
great respect community cherished for
him.
The deceased was born in Vermont,
April 25th, 1892. and was married No
vember 18th. 1925, in North Hero, same
State, and resided there till the spring of
1916 when he removed to Clinton county,
N. Y: from thence he came TO Farmers
burg, Iowa, in the spring Of lS4S with
his family of three sons and three dauAh-
tiers. He purchased the land upon which
the village of National now stands when
there was little but open prairie to be seen.
During the entire of his mar led life no
death has occurred in the family: take a
term of 43 years and this fact is a very
unusual occurrence.
Father Woodward was among the ear
Hest settlers of Clayton coumty, a man OF
more than ordinary mental power, Of un-
Improbable character, of %unflinchine
fidelity to his convictions of duty and
universally beloved by all who knew him,
lie was once elected Justice of the Peace
but he always succeeded in reconciling the
parties without legal proceedings. All
honor to the memory Of the deceased
EDS. TINES. He was a true Christian; in
his death the Church has lost one of its
brightest lights. His life was pure aud
death peaceful: he now rests from his
labor awaiting the resurrection of the
Just. Yours Respectfully.

At Chesterfield, Massachusetts,, a land
of piety unexccllcd on earth (D Mr..
Hiram Pettinger was supposed to be inti-
mate with a handsome servant girl and in
consequence of that or some other thing
the wife got mad and left. This was pref
ty bad for Hiram and the girl, but the
remedy, or punishment of the pair was
worthy of the days of Salem and the Cot
ton Mather Witchcraft Of old New Eng
land. The dispatch from Boston says
Pettinger's house "was visited a night or
two since by about thirty men in disguise,
and some women, who ordered him to
surrender. He refused, mud knocked one
of the assassins down, but was soon over
powered.
"Pettinger and his house-maid were then
marched to the house of his brother
where the unfortunate pair were stripped
of their clothing, tarred and feathered
and ridden on a rail about half a mile;
pledges were exacted from them not to
divulge the names of those who were en-
gagged in the riotous proceedings and to
remove the servant from the town within
~ferty-eight hours, and to make a comics.
sion to his wife, and if not done a worse
punishment was threatened him.
The idea of ''some women enlisting
with thirty cowarGly assassins of the male
propensity to fight, tar, feather and ride
upon a rail, two human beings, one of
their own sex, is q style of morality"
which cannot be found ''out west" IF a
man is charged by the testimony of re-
spectacle persons to be guilty of incest,
adultery, cruelty to his wife or to his
children, gentlemen wait upon that man
and inform him that society has no farth-
er use for him at that place and that if he
does not leave he will be arrested and i'm
prisoned for public indecency. But the
idea of women aiding in the Star and
feather business of a woman is a little
too tough for any taste above a brute
Had the injunction of the Saviour been re,
garded We bet not one Of the prosecutors
could have "thrown a stone!'
