SOME days ago the indianapolis
Journal contained a statement to the
effect that Major A. NJ. PUETT, OF
Putnam, a Democrat Of many years
standing, had declared for GRANT and
COLFAX. The Sentinel denounced
this statement as a base and willful
falsehood. But the Sentineps denial
has been rendered null and void .
by the distinguished convert himself,
who, in q public speech at G~reencas-
tie, on Tuesday evening, stated that
nc had voted the Democratic ticket
since 1924, but could not con
sent to go with his party
in its efforts to ruin the country.
Believing, as ne did, hat the saliva
ton of the country depended on the
election OF GRANT and CoLFAx, he
advised his old Democratic friends to
rise above party, cease to follow such
men sas VALLANDIGHAM, FORREST,
HAMPTON and VOORHEES,, and vote
for the mar who had conquered LEE,
and put down the rebellion.
We are a little interested in OBJ
serving how the Sentiael will dispose
of this fact. VIII it confess that it
was the author of the " base and will
full falsehood?''

Meeting OF War Democrats.
PerrepOnt's Great Speech.

Probably the most noticeable meet
ing held in the country during the
present campaign was the immense
altering of the War Democrats at
Cooper Institute, New York, last week.
We would be glad TO publish the pro-
ceedings in full. together with the
greatspeech of Hon. EDWARD PIERRE
POINT, one of the ablest documents Of
the canvass, but the pressure upon
our columns will not allow it. We,
must content ourselves with the pub
lication of the closing appeal of Mr..
PERREPoNT's eloquent speech, which
should have the careful consideration
of every loyal Democrat:

next Tuesday, will be equivalent to

for prosperity to all.

Nemaha Comfy Fair.

From all the information obtained,
and the interest manifested at home,
the coming Fair of the n emaha County
Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
tion viii be M of the grandest affairs
of the kind ever held in the West.
We have a large number of letters
from abroad, informing us that stock
and implements from a distance will
be exhibited. There will be. some
fine stock here for sale. This is en-
couraging. The Board of Managers
have made the contract for the cree
ton of a permanent hall, two hundred
feet long by twenty-five feet wide,
with a flower halIin the centre. Stalls
will be in readiness for five hundred
head of stock.
Farmers of Nemaha county, and Me-
chanics of B~rownville, Peru, Nemaha
city, Aspinwall, st. Deroin and Hills
dale, see that goa are properly rep
resented in the fair. Don't beoutdone
by anybody from other counties and
towns. Remember, our fair is open
to all the State-the world, and this is
to be the fair. Diplomas taken at this
fairwin be worth their weightin gold.
Ladies, a word to you. This fair
cannot be a success without your aid.

advice and attend your county ana
State Fair. Get your work into such
shape that nothing will suffer pro-
vide yourself with funds-fOr, without
that, pleasurean enioymentcannOtbe
had in this sordid, selfish world OF ours.
Don't leave your wife at home, but
bring her along, or your son and
daughter, and enjoy a respite, and
gain strength and courage for renewed
efforts on the farm. When at the fair
don't look all over the ground at once,
or travel 2.40 pace, but find out the To-
calities Of each special feature, and
then visit each department in tLrn f;
have your memorandum book handy,
note.dOWn what may interest you or
yours. so that you a. refer to these
things when at hOme-for those who
have to stay at home will want to know
whatvOu did see andhear. Post your
self as to prices, and get all the infor-
nation you can. Don't 60 into side
shO1Os to see fat women, or a calf with
two heads and eight legs, or any other
monstrOsities but look at the stock,
examine the points and make note Of
the name and place where you can
purchase a fine Short Horn or Chester
While, or any other desirable stock /:
for of course you believe in improve
ment and progress.
Having given two or three hours to
this methodical visiting early in the
morning, give yourself up to the en-
iOyment of the hour; for the Directors
are certainly trying to entertain you.
Next day visit one or two other depart
ments, say machinery or farm pro
ducts, or both, and so on to the end of
the chapter. Then having taken Co
piOus notes you will be able to remem-
Der and use all that may be learned or
enjoyed; because all your enjOyments

hapsas much as in tualpartieipation.

How to Attend the Fafrs.

We had intended to have written an
article on attending fairs, but reading.
the following from the Rural World
on that subject, we copy it, endorsing
every word it containing.
Recreation, as commonly under
stood, is not a regular thing among
the farmers of the West. The half
holiday of a Saturday afternoon is not
generally given to boys o observed.
BY men. We would it were otherwise,
as much work might be accomplished
and be done anthe better than by con-
slant application. There is not a truer
prOverb recorded by the wisest king
than that, "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy and this is
true as well of children of a larger
growth. But without following up
this train of thought or reasoning to
its legitimate result, we wish to speak
ofaweek of recreation fOrevery family,
or as many of each family as can pos
siblv leave, first to attend the county
or district fair, and the State Fair, if
possible. Fairs in the Old Country
are more Of markets, held at a certain
town, and for a specificpurpOse, where
recreation and merry-making are only
incidental. There are horse, cattle
and sheep fairs, where buyer and seller
are brought into immediate contact,
where every one who has stock to sell
expects to dispose of it, and he who
has to buy makes calculations to sup
ply his wants there and then. 1t
would be well if our fairs had a little
more of this character. AS it is, our
fairs are only great expositiOns, and
sales are only incidental Another
good old custom of the old country is
the Harvest Home, a general holiday
and merry-making for the labOrers
who brought home the golden sheaves,
hava- filled the mows with fragrant
hay, and are only waiting the word to
put in the bright plough-shares. and,
cast the precious seed into the earth
for another crop. In America, on ac-
count of the maize or corn harvest,
which does not occur until October.
there seems to be no end to the har-
vest; and there are plenty Of localities
where the corn harvest goes On every
plessant day ia winter, and is scarcely
complete before spring comes with its
CONSTANT demand for labor and toll.
So Il happens on many farms that
there is really no Iet tp. A man may
SO manage that he win never have a
CAV Of pleasure; but with him all is
toll and labor. is that the way 70 en-

TO the War Department for the purpose OF get

surrender OF the War Once. After leaving the
War Department be again went TO the White

then proceeded to his residence on IL street. as

THE REMOVAL OF Mr.. STANTON.
The Presidents Message.

We published in the STAR Of las: evening
brief abstract of the message sent by the Presi.
dent 10 the Senate yesterday, in reply to the
resolution of that body passed on Friday night,
relative to the appointment OF General Thomas
as Secretary of War cd tateSin. II is a very
long document. and we have not space tor the
whole OF II, but, being subject Of great inter.
eet, We lay before cur readers the following
snmmar. vI its leading points
The President briefly refers TO the fact that
each OF his predecessors had exercised the pre-
rcgative OF removal, and that the Supreme
Court had decided that the authority was lodg-
I'd In the Executive by the Constitution. He
then says;
IL is only necessary, then, that should refer
10 the power OF the Executive under the laws
of the United States, 10 remove from once a
Secretary Of War. The resolution denies that
under these laws this power has any existence;
in other words, IL affi rms that no such author
ity is recognized or given by the statutes Of the
country.
What, then, are the laws Of the United States
which deny the President the power TO remove
that officer2 4 know but two laws which bear
upon this question. The first In the order Of
time is the oct of August z, l7S9, creating the
Department Of War, which, after providing
for Secretary as It's principal ofhcer, proceeds
as follows:
Sec 2. Aad be Il fsrfAev enacted, That there
shaIl be in the said department an inferior of.
