SPARKS FROM ASEGAR.-Mr. Joseph
Segar, of Washington, a gentleman ~
who appears to have attempted to cow
hide somebody and to have failed
Ierein, has been putting away in the
Star. After blowing a very airy cloud
of smoke, he remarks, Il trust | may
be allowed to embrace this occasion to
protest against the press in caricatur-
ing, by ridiculous and sensational ar
ticles, honorable gentlemen who may
find it indispensable to be involved in
personal brOilS. 1t is unworthy of a
decent press or of honorable gentle
men. If there shall be no reform in
this matter, gentlemen of pride and
honor will he compelled to apply the
cowhide and the bludgeon to men of
the press, as well as to other offenders"

LATEST WAR NEWS.

/. We gather the following from las
evenings News:
:. London, August ga letter from
Paris describes the preparations for the
! siege as follows: 100000 good troops
now in Paris. and fresh thousands well
armed arrive hourly. \ new corps
orgarized at Lyons, has arrived. The
gen d'armeS and policemen from
Stems, foresters and custom house
servants are coming in from all the
departments; 1900 gunners from the
fleet are stationed in the Notifications.
There is a strong conviction that the
advance of tine enemy is checked.
| Paris, August 29.-The Journal Of
fetal publishes note from the Pre-
feet of Seine pro. tenn, NJ. Blanche,
advising all citizens to provide them
selves with such food as may be most
easily preserved; and advising all per-
sons incapable of performing military
duty to leave Paris. 1t is supposed
here that the Prussians, seeing the
danger of approaching nearer to Paris
while McMahon may defeat their for
ces around Metz, have altered the di-
rectiOn OF their movements. and are
now marching toward Bethel. Much
depends upon the battle which may
take place in that vicinity at any mo-
ment. The inhabitants of the suburbs
of Paris are moving into the city, as
many buildings in the environs are to
be leveled, and there is danger of the
appearance of the PrusSian scouts.
The appearance OF things at the rail
road depots is remarkable. The piles
of baggage and furniture are enOr-
nous, and the number and length of
trains arriving and departing are I'M
precedented. Crowds are leaving the
city, and crowds are coming in, and
the widest confusion reigns.
The journals explain that the many
rumors of battles which have been in
arose from minor engage
ments, where the losses On both sides
were serious, but the result indefinite. |

1t was for the double purpose O
compliance with the Resolution of the
State Committee, and that of avoiding
the chance for this unjust imposition
and discrimination that the above
quoted resolution of the County Com
mittee was passed.
Under the resolution of the County
Committee, any man whose name APP
pears upon the last published registra-
ton lists of his precinct, who can be
identified as such, (and who, of course
is known no: to have lost his residence
in the State, county and precinct by
reason of long removal or other cause)
can vote.
Any new made citizen or new conner
into the State and county and precinct
whose name is not on the last publish
Ell registration list must be registered,
this year, prior to the primaries, if he
would vote.
These provisions are certainly plain
and in our view of the case,
they are fair and just enough.
Within the past day or two we have
heard something of the dangers of
..voting dead men':-that is to say,
the voting, by men who will come to
the polls falsely representing them
selves as certain person dead or alb
sent whose name appears upon the
old registration lists. Now while there
can be but one opinion among honest
men regarding i person who would
attempt such 4 villainous proceeding, |

The Two Term Principle.

We hear it stated from time to
time by the friends of ex-Gov. Stone,
that Judge Loughridge used the
1.-TWO Term" club with which to beat
Mr.. Grinnell, and hence it is but fair
that Stone should use the same
weapon upon Judge Loughridge.-
We pronounce the statement false,
utterly, totally false. Mr.. Lodgh-
ridge never directly or indirectly,
advocated the two term principle
Nor was he nominated CIR Mr.. Grin
neil defeated on that principle. Mr..
Grinnell, when nominated for the
second term, declared publically and
in open Convention that he should
not on any account offer himself as a
candidate for the third term, thus
leaving the field open to Others. 1t
was that statement which was urged
by the friends of Judge Loughridge,
and not the fact that he had held the
position two terms. But for that
statement, every one cognizant OF
the facts in the case knows that Mr.
Grinnell would have been renomina,
ted, and Mr.. Loughridge would not
have thought of being candidate
We are compelled to say this in JUS
tice to our honored member Of Con.
gress who cannot leave his place to
refute these charges. 1t is proper to
add that in this connection, that in
our view, nothing can be more per.
nicious in practice or rotten in theory
than this same two term doctrine
Iowa wields a power to-day in the
councils of the nation, which she
could mover have attained, had this
principle been the rule throughout
the State heretofore. Let US no,
perpetrate the folly of thrusting .

for no other reason than that he ha,
been in it just long enough. to begil

Harvesting Timothy Seed.

Mr.. M. Creswell, an experienced
Timothy seed grower of Iowa, writes
tho Prairie Farmer in reply to ques-
tion by correspondent as to the
best way of harvesting the Timothy
seed crop, rs follows:
Do not cut until the earlier heads
shatter some. Wait until you three
swaths cut, then start the binders;
or rather the hands that set it up.
Put three sheavcs or punches to-
gether, on end and tie tightly around
tho top. The advantage OF setting
three swaths together is that it leaves
your bunches inrows sufficiently wide
apart to admit OF driving between
them in hauling in.
Let tho binders stand until the out.
side is somewhat bleached and shat
tered. Thresh out of the shock. Ifyou
wish to stack before you thresh it is
better to tiein sheav es same as grain

The recent death Of r. FL. Murphy
reminds US of some incidents of his
personal history, two Of which can
scarcely fail to interest the public.
Up to fourteen years ago, he was a
resident Of Albany county, New
York, and while living there served
as under-sheriff of that county.
Many years ago he was sent to serve
process upon some Of the renters
occupying the great Van Rensselaer,
estates in behalf of the patrons. On
one of these official errands he was
slot, the bullet penetrating his lungs,
and for long time it was thought
he could not recover. But q short
time before he died, he told neigh
Dor that he had long ago balanced
accounts with bis assailant by shoot
ing..him dead IN his barn.
Another incident Many of our
readers have some knowledge of the
murder of Helen Jewett sono thirty
years ago, In New York City, by her
paramour, Robinson. Murphy was
the only person who could testify
concerning tho facts of the murder.
Robinson had wealthy friends; MUIR
ply was sent on tour through con-
tinental Europe, and while absent
the trial was had and Robinson ac-
quilted for lack of sufficient proof.
There is no doubt about the truth of
both these asscrtions.-IoUa Falls

The crown-princess OF Prussia
went the other day to the store of
the court jeweler in Berlin in order
to purchase diamond necklace. She
selected very beautiful one, when,
to her surprise, she noticed that the
;eweler, who waited on hor himself,
told her that she need not buy it..
The significant smile. with which the
dealer in gold and jewels, accompan-
led these words led her to believe
that her husband the crown-prince,
had purchased the necklace tor her
as birthday present, that happy
day coming off in week or two. So
she went home, but, on her birthday,
she received from her husband not
the necklace, but only pair of fine
earrings. Then she suspected some
thing wrong, and at the next court
ball she examined with the utmost
attention, the necklaces which the
various noble ladies wore. Finally
a very beautiful young countess
entered the hall, and ON her neck the
crown-princess discovered the neck
lace. She stepped quickly up to the
countess and asked her in an imper-
ious tone who had given her the
necklace. The young countess,
greatly frightened, faltercd out that
she had received it from his royal
highness, the crown princess. The
consequence was, that the countess
was notified that her presence at
court was no more desirable.

Premature Discharae.

They had an election the other day
in New York State for six judges
and which election we will venture

papers outside of New York State,
and even in that State there was no
political issue made of any conse-
quence. II appeared by yesterday g
reports that owing to gigantic
frauds in New York City, as charg-
ed BY even the Sun, q neutral paper,
that the democrats had elected their
entire ticket, over which, antiquated
bulletin boards and rusty roosters
we're trotted cut, and the Johnnies
have been rejoicing as was their wont
over a rebel victory.
1t now appears, however, by to-
days dispatches that we have elected
our Chief Justice, Folgor, and one or
two Of the judges, in spite of the un,
biushing frauds of the New York
repeaters. Democratic guns will
therefore be unlimbered, to the rear
and their bulletin boards will not be

The Gazette and Argus gives an
account of a most brutal homicide
that occurred at the Lawrence
House saloon, on the evening of the
10th inst. One Aqui!la Lawrence,
who is the son OF the proprietor of
the Lawrence House, as we gather
from the account, without provoca-
tion nounced upon and beat to death,
Denton Bourbach, the watchman OF
the house. Bourbach was a
German and an old man, and it is
supposed that the young man had
some grudge against him. Law.
renee escaped, and the Germania
Society arc said to be about to
raise the sum of $1,000, to offer as a
reward for his arrest.

The Democratic Territorial Con-
vention of Idaho, adjourned on the
18th inst, having been in session
eight days nominating a candidate
for Congress.
The eight days labor of this Idaho
mountain, finally brought forth one

delegate to Congress, in place OF

cumbent.
Idaho and Montana werc tho pop
ular resort for draft SIX eedaddlers,
from both sides during the rebellion,
consequently they are about as
strongly democratic as the slums Of
the Sixth Ward and the Five Points
of New York.
The Democratic nomination in
Idaho is, therefore, equivalent to an
election; hence the tenacity for which
the draft skeedaddlers fought for it
at Boise City, during an eight days
campaign.
