HERE are at present before Con-
gress, and which will be acted on at
the next Session, bills granting at
least one hundred million Of acres of
our public lands to railroads and cor
porations. If the people send Radi-
calls to Congress, it will be taken as
an endorsement of these swindlers
and they will be put through the
House and Senate, and Grant will
eiGn them. The only safe way is to
vote against the Radical party and
their candidates.
JAY COOKE and John Sherman are
the principal parties who secured the
100000 acre land grab voted by
the Radical Congress. John is now
stumping this State to have more
Radicals sent to Congress. We
should think he ought to be satisfied
with what he has already got in the
way of land, for in 1860 he didn't own
an acre. But there is no telling how
much man wants TO satisfy himself.
An Ex-Mayor of steubenvillc Flopping
Over.
The Steubenville Herald, the Radi-
cal organ of Jefferson county, few
days ago, published the following
item:
A DEMOCRATIC GAIN.-We regret
to chronicle the "flopping over" of
onr friend Geo. M. Elliott, ex-Mayor
and war correspondent of the Herald,
to the Democracy. We are afraid the
loss of Office soured ON his stomach,
To which Mr.. Elliott responded as
follows:
The high price of every article that
laboring man now has to purchase
in proportion to the wages he receives
has done the souring business, friend
Allison. There are great many
sour stomachs to-day in tho Republi-
can party, as you will discover before
you are a month older.

A Presidential Snauggle--A Collector of
a Customs Comes Across Twenty five Hun
dree Dollars Worth OF Grants Madeira.
20 Correspondence of the New York SUM- =
70 WASHINGTON, September 18.-Act-
ing under the instructions !, of the
Treasury officials, the Custom House
officers recently examined the cargoes
brought home from foreign stations in
United States naval vessels, and in
many cases naval officers were put 10
some trouble to explain how and why
certain packages of foreign wines
were on board. Mr.. Taylor, the Col
lector of Annapolis, not to be out
done by other custom officials, watch
ed his opportunity, and when the
practice ship Savannah reached here
on the l4th, he made raid on all the
canary birds, walking sticks, baskets,
and the like, Brought home by the
midshipmen as 1nementoes of their
cruise about the Canary and Madeira
Islands. ~ s!4gi is 1oileiai4st .'f3d#
Mr.. Taylor had made, extensive ar
rangements for the seizure by having
at hand full corps of deputies, and
he says he had special INSTRUCTIONS
from the Custom officers at Fortress
Monroe, in accordance with orders
from Secretary Boutwell,, to seize ev-
erything that might be landed, I'm
der this instruction, trunks, &c, were
seized, and everything worked well
until Mr.. Taylor discovered on board
the snip $500 worth of rare wines
from Madeira, belonging to President
Grant, Secretary Robson, and Post
master-Genepal Creswell. ll.ot5Q M
AS Taylor owes his position to the
special favor of the last named gen.
ttileman, & he was in decided fix. If
the midshipnr5ni i2s canary birds and
walking sticks were seized, the winc Iis g
would have to be seized also. At this
point the Collectors fear of official
displeasure overcame his suddenly
developed honesty, and he called his
deputies of, and declined to prosecute
the investigation further.
The question is, did the President
and his Cabinet officers intend to
bring this wine into the country with
ont regard to Custom House regula-
tions? a ifsaTtt ~

county in the last Legislature. Mr..
Warren has taken the stump in be-

ocratic candidate for Congress In the
Fourth District, and is announced to

the Democratic ranks, says

If according to the Ohio Radical
platform, tariff for, revenue is indis-
pensable, why. do the Radicals levy
140 per cent. on blankets Under
this impost, not blanket is imported,
and consequently not one cent of rev.
enue is raised from that source.
With the tariff at % per cent. we
should receive at least 100000 of
revenue from blankets.
What a moekery it is for Radicals
to declare that tariff for revenue is
indispensable, and then cut off the
revenue by protection.

A Bug Sensation.
Tho Learned Hen Of Pittsburgh Puzzled.

For the past few days a queer sort
OF bug found by Mr. S d. Rother-
mel, Of Allegheny city, on some morn
ing glory vines, has been a topic of
discussion among some Of the physi-
clans ofthe city and others who have
have had the opportunity of look
ing at it through a magnifying glass.
Mr.. Rotbermel was out brushing
the caterpillars from his vines, and
noticed what he thought was a large
piece of SCOT and attempted to brush
it off, but found that what he suppos-
ed a bug. He brought it to this oity
and it was placed under a magnifying
glass, when it presented a remarkable
appearance, 1t looked something
like q turtle, having q turtles he ad
and the outline of a turtles figure
But the remarkable thing about it
was its back OF shell, which it has the
power or opening and raising to a right
angle with its body, and in this posi-
ton it looks really beautiful. A null
titude of little %silvery legs come OF {
from around the body, and tho back
has agreat variety of colors which
change and increase in brilliapcy as
the the bug feeds on the green leaves
The lower part of the body Is supplied
with a multitude of small legs, and
with these the bug holds on to a leaf
or whateyer it may be placed on with
a remarkable tenacity 1t also has
the opportunity of thrusting its head
out, and, taking hold of any small OBJ
ject placed before it, such as a broom
splint, very much after the ann
ola swapping turtle. The expression
of everyone who looked at it is what
a wonderful looking bug" On Sat
urday the bug was placed in DIR Nc
Cooks Office and was examined by DR.
McCook, DR.. Reiter, DIR. Donnslly,
w. D. Moor, Esq, and a large
number of others, but none were
able to classify il and all considered l.
a sort of stranger in the bug creation
The general opinion was it would turn
into a winged insect OF some kind
The bug appeared to destroy leaves
very rapidly, making small triangular
holes, and in the morning it is found
on the under side of the leaves, but
later in the day it gets on the upper
side of the leaves. Its ravages thus
far has been confined to the morning
glory. The bugis daily examined by
large numbers of persons. and consider.
able interest is expressed as to what
it will develop into.-Pittsbarg Com
