Party Wrangling.

The Republican party is on the brink
of ruin. Discussions and heart burn
ings are consuming its leaders. Moth
ing but corruption looms up to the
public gaze. The Radical party is
doomed. as well try to conceal the
odor of a dead horse in a parlor as to
attempt to conceal the fact that the
leaders of the party are fostering in
iniquity. Nature can no longer con-
ceal the stencil that ome up from all
quarters. New Orleans is fresh with
the exquisite arom of Grants immac
ulate loyalty. We invite the attention
of the reader to Grants late attempt
to bolster up official dishonesty, and
sustain rascality in high places. While
the wild Indian tribes of the west are
mutilating and numbering the defence
less border settlers for want of military
aid, President Grant lounges at Long
Branch and sends his armed legions to
New Orleans to keep the two wings Of
the Republican party from cutting
each OTHERS throat! o, shameless ty-
rant! When will the people rebuke
such audacity and corruption? Read
what the New York SIN, a Radical
Republican paper says of the New
Orleans business:
"Our private advices from indepen-
dent and perfectly trustworthy sources
in New Orleans, inform us that the
friends of Gov. Yarmouth and the
opponents of Gen. Grants renomina-
ton had a majority of more than three
to one of the regular delegation to the
recent Republican State Convention
of Louisiana, and that knowledge of
this fact was the reason why Collector
Casey, acting under the secret instruc-
tons of brother -in-law Grant, brought
in the United States troops with bayo-
nets, ball, cartridges, and Calling guns
to prevent the entrance to the Conven-
ton of the regular delegates, and then
proceeded to pack the hall in Casey,s
Custom House with bogus delegates,
who, as in duty bound, %thereupon en-
dorsed Grant
Thus driven from the place ofmeet-
ing by military force, Gov. Yarmouth
followed by more than ninety regular
delegates out of the one hundred and
eighteen of which the Convention was
to be composed, repaired to Turner'S
Hall, and there held the real Republi-
Ear Convention of Louisiana, over
which Senator Pinchback, by far the
ablest and most influential colored cit
izen of the State presided.
The New Orleans Picayune, an in
dependent journal, gives an account
of the first days proceedings of the
two Conventions. They ought to tin
gle the check of every honest Repub-
lican with a blush of mingled shame
and Indignation. 1t is by such means
that Grant intends to force his nomi-
nation upon the Republican party, and
thereby accomplish its ruin in 1872,
Is there not sense and courage
enough left in the Republican ranks
to crush the Dictator now, and not
leave it to be done by the ballot boxes
next year, when his overthrow will
involve the destruction of the party ?
Has not the time come for the Hon.
Horace Greeley togive to the country
his promised reasons for opposing the
denomination of Gen. Grant? Hon
est men impatiently await a bugle-
blast from Chapaqua, or from some
other and holder quarter of the politi-
cal horizon"

DIR. PURDY WILL GIVE ONE OF
THE MANY LETTERS.

CHARLEsTowN, CLARK Co., IND,l
February 6, 1870.
DIR. T. PURDY-Dear Sir: In your last
letter to me you wished me to give you q
statement of my case, which L will endeay-
or to do truthfully. I entered the United
States army on the 18th of April, 1861, and
served in various departments until the 9Th
of September, 1861. l was wounded and
taken prisoner at the battle of Chickamauga.
I then weighed 1876 pounds. 1 was sent to
Cahawba prison, and remained there until
the Sth of April, 1866, exposed to every pri-
walton hat it was possible to expose men to.
In the fall of "a I caught a violent cold,
which settled IN my lungs, and terminated
i'll tuberculous consumption. Five days af-
ter 1 was released l was weighed by the hos
pital stewart of Elm street hospital, at Me-
ridian, Miss, and l weighed but w pounds.
l lay in this helpless condition SO days, not
able to articu!ate a sentence, even in a whif-
per, as the vocal organs were completely
p~aralyzed. More than twenty different phys
icians paid me a visit, as i was a medical
man they did everything in their power for
me, but all agreed that / must die. At this
time they watched me constantly to see the
last spark of life die out but thanks to God
Purdy, a classmate of mine, who
heard ofmy condition. came to see me. He
begged of DIR. Martin, the Surgeon in charge,
for the privilege of putting me under n
course Of Physio-medical treatment. At
last the surgeon said. "you can rob him Of
but a few hours, anyhow, as he cannot live
but "a hours longer" In less than n
hour after 1 took the first dose of medicine,
1 eliminated, or threw from my lungs more
thai a pint of yellow. efferyescive corrup-
ton, and in less thantwo hours, I could talk
as well as ever, and now my weight is 146

Troubles Of tho Creek Nation.

1t Is reported that the troubles between
the two factions of the Greek NatiOn-which
came near ending In blood shed-hayc been
settled The feud grew out OF an election
for chief of the Nation. Samuel Cheeote,
the former chief, has been declared re-
elected. His competitor was 0c-ter-sus-
largo, popularity known as "Slnds," The
Checote party voted by ballot, while the
Sands party voted by counting heads. ac-
cording to the ancient custom Of the tribe.
Both parties claimed the election, and the
adherents OF each chief rushed 10 arms to
assert their respective claims by force. Ok

with armed men, ready b. embroil their

was imminent, but o conflict was happily
avoided by the appearance Of the United

Coliseum at Rome,

The Emperor Vespasian, after his return
from the Jewish war In the year y OF the
Christian era, caused this wonderful Am
phitheater to be built in that part of ancient
Rome where were the ponds and gardens
of Nero. 1t was completed In four years,
and his son Titus dedicated 1t by the slaugh-
ter Of five thousand wild beastsin the arena
Adrian caused the colossal statue of Nero
to be removed from the vestibue of his
own palace, and placed in this amphithca-
ter, where 1t was worshiped as Apollo.
The Coliseum derives Its name from its
colossal dimensions, being about 100 Eng.
llsh feet in circumference. The form is
oval. 1t was built of immense blocks OF
Taventine stone, and consists of four
stories. The first story is adorned with
Doric columns, the second with Ionic, the
third and fourth with Corinthian. The en-
frances were eighty in number, seventy-six
being for the people, two for the gladiators,
and two for the Emperor and his suit.
Within the walls were twenty staircases
leading to seats appropriated to the differ.
ent classes Of the people. The seats are
said to have held eighty-seyen thousand
spectators, aud the portico or gallery above
them twenty thousand. There was ar
awning which covered the entire ediiice IL
case of rain or intense heat. In the wall o.
the uppcrmost story are open holes sup
posed to have contained the rings for fas
tening the cords of this awning.

Once In while we wax indignant over
the superciious way in which some MGR
chant, or broker, or professionally refers
to the agricultural classes, and our only sat
isiaction Is In rejecting how little they know
what they are talking about. Happily these
occasions for righteous wrath are becoming
less frequent as the world grows wiser, and
as farmers become more fitted to command
respect. Every one who has changed his
calling In the course of his life, has been
surprised at the amount of detail. which
has to be learned In regard to any new bust
ness. The farmers work is, perhaps, more
akin to the manufacturing business than to
any other; indeed the farmer represents a
manufacturing interest, In comparison with
which all other manufactures combined are
insignificant, for were It not for the fruits of
his labor every factory In the land would
have to stop Its machinery, and that at
once. The manufacturers, as q rule, make
but one article, while farmers, as class,
make a score. The tests necessary in ascer-
tanning the practical utility Of a new ma
chine are simple and easy when compared
with the patient experiments which afarmer
must pursue before he can know with cor
tainty how, under the given conditions, he
can secure the best crops, or how he can
best cover the ribs Of his cattle with beef,
and the backs of his sheep with wool. The
rule which serves to make good butter and
cheese in one place may not do so well in
another, and surely II any one ought to
watch the market closely, 1t is the farmer.
Among the sciences and trades of which he
must at least have some knowledge, are
veterinary surgery, animal and vegetable
physiology, carpentry, hlacksmithing, sad.
dlery, aud mason work, with hundred
others, which We have no space to enumer-
ate. What other branch OF business gives
an opportunity for so complete develop
ment Of the faculties as this?
