but one opponent, there are three ways
of disposing of the tangled skein: by
letting them all run and enabling the
single opponent to succeed; by leaving
them to settle among themselves, Ia diff
cult natter who shall withdraw; or hold
a Convention Of thepeople through their
delegates, and make the selection, or
nominate candidate, the Others retir-
ing from the contest. The Brownsville
Bee furnishes case in point. 1t says:
The important office of Attorney Gen
eral for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit,
composed of the counties of Haywood,
Madison, Gibson and Dyer, has called
out six Democrats to beat Mr., w. f.
Talley, the present incumbent. AT least
five Of them must get out of the way, or
Mr.. Talley is elected. 1t is understood
that all six of the Democrats are willing
to come to some arrangement upon fair
principles for the selection of one of
their number to make the race. viii these
good friends of ours proceed to effect
such arrangement among themselves
Ii is getting time thar II were done.
Should they fail to do so, and that
speedily, a nominating Convention will
be inevitable. We would rather have
them agree among themselves, but un-
less that is speedily done, let us have a
Convention at Humboldt, and nominate
a good man. We cannot elect six.

liberal public display Of fireworks al

The game between the Forest City and

Independence Day passed Of pless-

The fireworks were a success, and the
parks enchantingly cool and delightful.
There we're some affrays from drinking,
incident to holiday, but on the whole, the
city was remarkably orderly In Brook.
Ign there was no public display beyond
the decoration Of public and private
Buildings and the display Of fireworks at

FRAUDULENT APPARENTLY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph, which merits
wide circulation that the swindling ope-
rations of bogus concern therein no
ticed may be restricted within reasona-
bic bounds
We have lately received number of
letters inquiring as to the status, respon-
sibility or existence of what our cores
pondents call the Southwestern Printing
and Publishing Association of Cincin-
natl The writer of communication
now before us says he subscribed for a
periodical through this concern, and has
not received his numbers. We have been
at some pains to ascertain something
about the so-called association, but our
labors are not well rewarded. If there is
any such thing it would take search
warrant to find it, We certainly know
of none having a present existence.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, July Sin the Senate
yesterday the day was spentin discussing
the naturalization bill. The debate was
exceedingly interesting, but no vote was
taken except upon the motion to adjourn.
Mr.. Conkling made an effort to get rid
of the perplexing question of Chinese
naturalization so as to leave nothing of
it to discuss but the simple bill which
came from the committee, but Sumner
ostentatiously barred the way. He was
criticized somewhat severely for imperil-
ing by his selfwill measure of such i'm
portance. Sumner replied in a speech
of some length, treating largely of him
self and his record, characterizing Mr..
Conkling' course as mean and groveling,
and accusing Mr.. Stewart, whose views
on the Chinese question had excited his
wrath, of denying the faith, and compar-
ing him to Simon Peter, the apostate
apostle, the history of whom he recited
at length from the Bible.
Mr.. Stewart replied briefly but stur-
Oily, and the status and rights of Celes-
tials were discussed by Williams, Schurz,
Carpenter, Corbett, Wilson and Trum-
bull, the afternoon closing with another
sharp passage between Conkling and
Sumner. Much bitterness has been
elected by discussion of the Chinese
question, which was carried from the
Senate Chamber into the street when
the recess was taken at the evening ses-
sion. The Senate passed Summers
amendment striking out the word
white" but adopted Warmers amend
ment giving votes to Africans.

the Chinese Question.


WooDsFocK, July 5.-The significant
feature Of the celebration yesterday at
Woodstock was the little passage at
arms between Gen. Butler and Gen.
Hawley on the Chinese question. Gen.
Butler made his promised pronouncia-
mento against the Chinese, declaring
hat controlled and unpaid labor is ia-
compatible with Republican govern
ment. Gen. Hawley replied, saying:
1t will not work to lock the doors al
the United States, Wemust eounteract
any evil that may threaten us by ous
examples of good. lie would not lock
the gates Of America against those
who are suffering. Butler attempted 10
reply, but was stopped.

CHICAGO, July 5,-The fourth passed
off with remarkable freedom from fatal

smaller accidents occurred. The fire

total damage is small-not exceeding
$4,000. Wise, the balloonist, made a sue

A Descendant OF PULASKI.

A short time since memorial was pre-
scented to the United States Senate ask
ing the Government for the release OF
Madame Jaracha, grand niece of Gen.
Pulaski, and her husband, who were ban
ished to Siberia for participating in the
Polish movement of 1863. The request
was communicated to our Minister at St.
Petersburg, who, in reply, informs the
State Department that it has been
granted on the condition that they leave
for the United States. We doubt not that
many of the exiles of Siberia would ac-
cept a similar Communication. Pulaski
was one of the most gallant heroes Of the
Revolution of '76, and our country owes
his memory ali endless debt of gratitude.

DEAR CHRONICLE We have noticed
in your columns frequent articles laud-
ing some famous potato, enormous yield,
large size, &c. No doubt many of your
farmer readers saw in these accounts
almostan new species of vegetable. Please
listen to our story, we will tell both
sides. I have tested ver thirty famous
varieties the past season, and found
many of them 'small potatoes and
poor at that. Mr.. Goodrich got a fame
as an originator; but his Harrison lacks
in quality. l have raised them three
years and find them inferior. His Early
Goodrich and Gleason are not reliable ;
Quaker Russell is not hardy on dry,
sandy soil nearly all rotted; Buckeye
ditto. The Early Rose yielded well and
looks well; as to quality, were we not
partial to the $50 (the rate at which we
paid per bushell, we should say not
equal to the Peach Blow. Then comes
Brezeen's King, selling last spring at
nifty dollars a single potato. 1t is I'M
doubtedly a potato; it looks much like
one, and nothing remarkable at that. /
will tell you more about it next season.
The Excelsior has a fine appearance, and
if I can keep some until spring they are
slightly diseased) Ishall try them again.
