A Copperhead paper SAYS:

THE Radical party, represented by a
majority of Congress, in spite of its
original contract with tie people, proposes
to pay the five twenty bonds in gold
instead of legal tender and, in this way
forces the people to pay $500, 900, 600
more than thew are called upon to pay
lnthe first place, there Ire 81, 500, 0OO,-
600 OF hve-twenty bonds. The difference
between this amount Ill gold and in legal
tenders, at their present value, is $50
millions instead Of 900 millions, showing
"a slight intentional error on the part of
the Conper head paper of 800 millions of
dollars, Second the Republican party do
not propose to pay off any of those bonds
faster than there is surplus money In the
Treasury. How much quicker than that
do the Democrats propose to pay the
bonds? Third, the Republicans do not
intend to pay more for them than their
market price, and that is at present only
rs to rs cents, gold. Fourth, by making
and utce cersn, as was proposed by the
Senate Finance Committee and House
Ways and Means Committee at the last
session OF Congress, the greenback will be
exactly OF the same value Of the bond
consequently Si,UUO Vi regal teHOcrS VIII
purchase a 81, 900 bond. And as no
5-20s will be due for fifteen years to cone
all the surplus currency III the Treasury
can be applied, each year, to the purchase
ofthose bonds and thus the first issue of
5l4 millions can be bought up and cancel
ed by the government long before they
become due in 1888. and that, too with
greenbacks. dollar for dollar
If Pendeten and his hackers do not de-
sire to initiate and depraciate the currency
why do they not advocate the Senate and
House Finance Committees plan of
making the legal tenders convertible into
bonds and thereby equal to them in value?
They prefer dealing In humbug, and pre-
tending that they have invented scheme
whereby the national debt can be paid off
by sleight Of hand. instead Of by taxation.

WEE I'D IT.

In our last weeks issue We gave to our
readers the good election news from Yer
mont. The great victory our party
achieved will be better understood when
it is known that the average Republican
majority in the State of Vermont during
the.past ten years has been about IS, 900
At the election last year it was 2O,IS4.
This year, under the influence of the
revolutionary platform of the Copperhead
party, together with the popularity of
Grant and Colfax, it has added ten thous-
md to its Republican majority, Such
victory cannot be whistled down the
wind. The New York World attempts
to bellittle it by saying that 'the Dutch
have taken Holland" A gain of tel
Thousand in the little State of Vermont
where the average total vote is less than
fifty thousand, is not to be explained
away in a sheer. 1t is an imposing fact,
to be known and read Of by all men, and
to be estimated by each at its true value
and spacific gravity. 1t the vote had
shown a. small Republican cain it might
have been turned aside with Jest. But
it is an exceedingly large gain, and 1t will
tell on the September, October and No
vemher elections in other States with
very great force. The Boston Post was
correct in saying, few days before the
election that "the result in Vermont will
establish the fact of the tendency every
where else. . The article of the Post is
rather interesting at this time. We copy
it from the columns of the World, which
journal appears to have thought, short
time since, that the Dutch would not
take Holland quite SO easy this year as
usual;
Though it is not to be expected of
the defenders of the constitution In
Vermont that they will achieve anything
hkea numerical triumph next Tuesday
we do reckon with great confidence on
such handsome gains for them as will
serve tor an index Of the final result
Wnen the country vote in a body in
November The result in Vermont will
establish the fact of the tendency every
where else. 1t will certify TO the post
lveness of the reaction that is going ON
throughout the Union against the Tevo-
Iutlonary course of the faction that has
attained supreme power. There is a
great deal more virtue IN the example OF
q reduced opposition majority as in q
the case OF Vermont, than in a positive
victory in State where Radicaiism a ,
regular matters.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says: eve
desire our friends in other States to
understand that Ohio-Grant's native
State-ls not, and has not been at any
time since tire Chicago nomina tons were
made, at all DOUBTFUL. Nor isit true, as
has been gratuitously asserted, that the
Republicans of Ohio are apathetic. They
are at work In earnest, and never with
hotter hopes than to-day. We have felt
sure, from the outset, of at least 1000
majority for GRANT in this State. The
present indications are that it will exceed
10000. On the other side, the nominal
ton ofSeymour and Blair had dishearten-
ing effect which has not been recovered
from. The Democrats are without zeal
or enthusiasm. They are inactive and
respondent. Whatever may be said by
such men as Vallandi gham-who expect
ed to be Governor in 1868, until he woke
up one morning in October, and found
himself beaten by 100, 900 majority-no
sagacious Democrat dreams of carrying
Ohio this year, any more than Maine or

FREMONT.

In my last letter / spoke of having ar
rived at this place. 1t is small town
Fremont is-but the people are large
hearted and generous to fault. A brief
description of it will no doubt prove in
teresting. It is located at the foot of
Partridge lake on the Wolf river, in the
south east corner of Waupaca county,
and is about forty miles up the river from
Oshkosh, from which place there is a
daily boat. The place is principally
noted for its ferry-this being the only
one on the Wolf for miles, either up or
down the river, on account of swampy
lands on one side or the other-and for
the pine timber, which is found in the
vicinity. There have been number of
mills in operation here but they are all
still now except one belonging to the
Kinsman Brothers located a few miles
from town. The kinsmans may be con-
sidered the pioneers of the town. They
come here in 1855, started town with
fattering prospects, about fifty houses
being erected in 90, but the financial
crisis of 81 extended here, and, as else
where, put a stop to building and put the
town back many years. Not in the least
discouraged, however, these gentlemen
continued at work, bought pine lands,
erected fine store and warehouse build
ing and to-day they are doing an excel
lent business We have listened to the
interesting adventures of Mr.. G.. c.. Kins-
man-the brothers all being fond of hunt
ing-with great degree of pleasure.
One story he told last evening was de-
cldedly ludicrous: The bears at one time
became quite numerous and troublesome
and large party went out to kill them
off. They we're very successful, but one
evening as they were returning home
they SAVIOR thought they did-a bear
sitting on log at distance of some 80
rods. One of the best marksmen said
Hold on boys and | viii make dead
shot !" The others made ready to fire
in case he missed, when 10 as the hunter
fired a man sprang up placed his hand
on his breast, yelled like panther and
and fell over backward. Frightened al
most to death at the thought of haying
killed fellow being, the hunter threw
himself on the ground and groaned most
piteously. Some of the others ran up to
see who the dead man was, when they
found "a drunken tailor lying on the
ground his plug hat was lying near and
through it was a outlet hole. Close ex.
animation revealed the fact that the bal
had cut the hair close to his head and
made slight wound in one arm, ''only
this and nothing more ;" As might be
supposed the party felt greatly relieved
| have hunted here now something
over a week and have enjoyed myself

just In time for dinner, after which we
paid visit to Bro. Perry of the Cl1ter-
ian To him we are indebted for facts
concerning his town which we shall pro
ceed to indite. The town has some
twelve or fifteen hundred inhabitants :;
Is pleasantly situated on the banks of the
Waupaca river which furnishes a water
power sufficient for half dozen mills.
1t was first settled about the year 1851
and has known constant growth ever
since. At the present time there are
three very large brick buildings for stores
and other purposes approaching compile
ton. 1t has one of the finest public
schools IN the state, the building being a
credit to the energy and taste of its build
ers. In churches it has more than its
share, there being five very good ones, as
we understand. Travellers are very well
accommodated, there being two good
hotels. tn the manufacturing line there
are two saw aud two -four mills, two tan
uGiltS, d idl &c w OOlGu Hill IudU VIII soon
be finished at cost Of some $50, 900, a
stave factory, and one for the manufac-
ture of sash, doors and blinds. Political
ly the town is, as one might infer from
what we have written, strongly Republi-
can. 1t is the county seat, and the
affairs of the county are in good hands
Our party is ably represented by the
Criterion, and we should judge that Mr.
Perry is doing very well, as any man will
who aoorks for what he gets. We spent
an hour very agreeably with Hon. E. L.
Browne, senator from this District and
as lawyer known all over the State.
Waupaca County has much good farm
ing lard, and some that is sandy and
poor. The people are mostly American
born, but foreigners, attracted thither by
the natural advantages are gathering in.
