We would call the attention of all
honorably discharged soldiers to the
following section ola law passed by
Congress and approved July 18th, 1870,
by which they are entitled each to a
quarter section of land by the payment
of the registry fee. Tnose interested

sary in order to obtain the land, by ap-
plying to any of our attorneys at law.
SEC. 25. And be it further enacted,

or in the marine corps or revenue mar
inc, during the rebellion, for ninety
days, and remained loyal to the gov
ernment. shall, on payment of tie fee
or commission to any register or receiver
ofany land office required by law, be
entitled to enter one quarter-section OF
land, not mineral, of the alternate
reserved sections of public lands along
the lines of any one of the railroads or

ONE result of the extraordinary news
paper discussion upon the merits of the
great controversy now eliminated in a
conflict of arms, will be show to the
German population of the United States
theexact difference between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. There are
many Democrats who sympathize with
Prussia and some Republicans who
sympathize with France, but the vast
majority Of the two great political or
ganizations are separated as distinctly
on this question as they were in regard
to the recent rebellion. Many causes
have operated to produce this state of
things, but the main element in decid-
ing the Republican sympathy is the vast
influence of our German population.
Several of the old States of the North
west first settled by Germans, while
every new State is more or less control
led by emigrants from the "Faderland." !"
This is eminently so in the West. Equal
ly decisive of Democratic sympathy is
the unity of the Irish population, now
solidified for France, in supporting the
Democratic party. The Germans are
far more intensely for their cause than
the Irish because it is their native
country that is in arms, and for that
very reason they will the more keenly
remember their:friends and their enemies
in this complication.

The Gazette of last week copies an
article from the Ohio Eagle, on Radical
ism. If the Gazette wants something
respectable, why don't it copy from
Brick Pomeroy's paper, at once. Fair
field county is politically, one of the
most corrupt places outside of New York
city; and the Eagle is the tool of party
made up of beer drinking bar and a
bigoted Catholic population. When an
editor don't come to the scratch at the
wink of committee of bottle-holders
they Kick him out of the ring. This il
the county where candidates open whisky
shops at all voting places and vote their
men drunk or not at all. Not less than
$1,000 was spent by one officer at late
election in that county. Lancaster is a
city of considerable Importance, bu. it is
due to the enterprise and wealth of the
Republicans. One or two primary meet
ings in this county conducted on the
Fairfield principle would do away with
the necessity for any more soon.

PROTECTION NOTES.

From our Exchanged
Protection is paternal and domestic;
free trade is alien and hostile.
All barbarism is free trade; protection
is the result Of education and convic-
ton.
Which is the most probable-that all
the world is wrongfor that small
school of English political economists
are right?
If an empire were made of adamant,
free trade would grind it to dust. Ma
poteoa Bonaparte.
Free Trade means poverty shivering
around an empty CRATE; protection
means warmth, light, and full oven.
The British free trade angler baited
his hook with herring to catch a
mackerel; he landed a sprat? Will
America initiate the piscatorial fizzIe?
There is no doubt there are manv
articles of manufacture foreigners will
produce cheaper than we can, but it is
not wise that We as a nation should
therefore give up producing them.
England is the only country in the
world that does not in some shape or
other protect native industry and pre-
serve preferential market for its own
operatives.
Free Trade fanatics do not see that
the existence of manufacturing indus
tries is of more importance to the coun-
try than the maintenance of q theory
of any kind."-ST EdUard sSullivon.

Says John Bull: "You can buv as
much in Hingland for shilling as Won
can in Hamerica for dollar" "Yis. u
says Patrick; "but how much work
must you do to git your shilling?"
A late Ell glish writer on iron-clads
attributes the defects in American war
vessels to the back wardness of iron man
ufacturers in this country, and vet the
free traders would destroy this Industry
altogether.
Trade unions have hitherto had for
their object the protection of workme..
from each other and from their emplov-
ers. If need be. they will protect them.
selves and their employers from unfair
foreign competition.
The object of those who advocate nro
tectien to native industry is to wipe of
entirely and absolutely every remain
ing tax on food, on raw materials of any
and every description, and to substitute
for it tax on foreign-manufacture
goods.
The result of making England a vast
free port, and increasing the consump-
uon, of articles of foreign manufacture
at the expense of her own, has been 10
weaken very much the tie that should
connect the two great divisions of every
community, the rich consumer the poor
producer.

Letter from Hon. Jno. A. Bingham, Ac.
cepting the Re-Nomination.

CADIz, OHIO. Aug. p, 1870.
GENTLEMEN Your communication
of the 18th inst, has been received, in
which you notify me that the Republi-
can Congressional Convention of the
18th District, held en- the 18th inst, in
Cambridge, nominated me for the 42d
congress, and directed you to inform me
thereof, and request my acceptance of
the same.
Inasmuch as the Republicans of the
District were advised by my published
letter Of the Goth of July last, that 1 did
not seek denomination for congress,
and that it was not my purpose to be in
the way of any one whom they might
desire to nominate, there seems to be no
reason to doubt that by nominating me,
the convention lat which 1 was not pres
ent,) expressed the will of the Republic
cans OF the District, who constitute a
decided majority of its voters, and have
therefore the power finally to determine
who shall represent the District in the
AID congress.
Grateful to the people and their repre-
sentatives in convention assembled for
the honor of this nomination, not sought
after nor solicited by me, deem it my
duty to accept it.
Allow me to add that I accept the
nomination, heartily approving the de.
claration of principles made by the con-
vention, and in the hope that in the
event of my election, may be enabled
so to discharge the trust as not to dis
appoint the just expectations of the
people.
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN A. BINGHAM.

A writer from Cheyenne, has Curl
Gus theory to account for the beautiful
moss agates of the Rocky Mountains.
He says: "Our theory of the produc-
tion of these singular stones is that of
photography, exected by nature in her
own laboratory and gallery. If the
stone is closely examined, it will be OBJ
served that instead of moss it shows q
minute but prefect copy of the sage bush.
In the region where found moss is very
rare, while the entire surface is covered
with thich growth of sage. If man,
with chemically prepared paper and
other substance, can reproduce images
by the refraction of light, why, then, is
| it impossible for nature, substituting
reflected rays through the agency of the
clouds for the camera, to reproduce in
her own gallery miniature photographs
of surrounding objects? 1t certainly
looks plausible, and we beg to suggest
that some philosopher take the matter
in hand and work it out.
