A CARD.
To the Public.

10 the
The Press and Herald and Wing and
Rogistcr, with other Democratic-rebel
sheets, have published q batch of cores
pondence concerning which the public
have little interest, nearly all of which Is
of purely personal character, coming
from disreputable source, and so garbled
and interpolated with matter entirely false
that it does me the grossest injustice, and
places me in an entirely false position be-
show if any responsible authority attaches
enough Importance to the matter to call
upon me for an explanation. So far as
that correspondent charges me with any
corruption in my official capacity, offering
official positions to any person in consider
alton of any bride or reward, pronounce
it false and challenge any proof to the con-
ttraTy.
The records of my office are open for in
vestigation to any agent or officer of the
Government, and | challenge them to
show where single cent has been misap-
propriated or not fully accounted for. Ny
deputies, clerks and papers are all ready
for examination, and | defy any one to
show any corruption or even neglect of
duty in any respect.
This much | feel called upon to say at
the earliest opportunity | have had since
seeing the publications referred to.
AS have said before, | challenge inves-
tigation of these charges from any respon-
sible source. / will not open my books or
submit to an examination on the part of
men convicted in the courts of selling
space in their vile sheet to publish dirty
hbels for few paltry dollars as is the case
with the Wing and Register fellows or to
men who make a merchandise of their
political principles, destroy govern
it, or who are notorious for their lies and
treachery as is the case with the Press and

THE UNITED STATES AND NEAI-
CAN COMMISSION.

There is some trouble with the rep
resentativeS of the American and Mex
lean governments before the Commits
sion at Washington to examine the
claims of citizens of the two countries.
Caleb Cushing represents the Mexican
claims against the United States, and
Mexico generally and he has endeav-
ored TO throw out all claims of Amerl-
cans for losses sustained by the action
of MaximilliaR's troops. He holds
that Americans who settled i'll Mexico
and sustained damages under Maxi
MILAN became citizens of Mexico by
reason of such settlement, and their
losses occasiened through the hazards
of war; consequently Is Mexican citi-
zens they can have no claim against
Mexico for damages. The umpire re
jects this theory. claiming that a per-
son cannot become Il citizen without
his own consent, and hal Mexico is
liable. This decision is unsatisfactory
to the Mexican government, and an
attempt is being made to remove the
umpire, and have another appointed.
1t is our impression that the American
people will sustain the decision, and
it ought to be supported by the Ameri-
can government.

SHOOTING IN UTAH.-The following
concerning the shooting of Joe Flax

take from the Salt Lake Review OF the
9th Oct:
''The parties had quarreled before,
but made it up. Bob was very drunk
this morning and | got his six shooter
away from him and hid it behind the
bar. Joe Flax got his knife. too. and
kept 1t. He came in not long after and
began TO demand his weapons. Flax
put him of awhile. He told me he
wanted to leave town right awav: so |
gave him the pistol. He went again
to Flax and seemed to be in good hu-
NOR, laughed and asked him for the
knife. Flax said ali right, after a lit
tie and started towards the door, Mel
len, still in a good humored way,
raised the pistol and said. suppose l
shoot?' Flax replied inditferentlv, and
the next thing the pistol went oft,
striking him in the breast. MelleH
said I'm a son of a b. to do that"

CAyANAUGH's DEFEAT. - j

CAvANAUGH'S DEFEAT. - James
Cavanaugh, eX-delegate from Non
tana, who was defeated for the re-
nomination a few months ago, has
gone to Washington. He explains to
the editor of the Omaha Herald the
cause of his defeat. He attributes it
to Eli Parker, late Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. Mr.. Cavanaugh says
that a least thirty thousand dollars
were expended in the canvas TO accom-
plish the Indians base purpose, every
dollar of which, he believes. was stolen
from the Government or the Indians.
He accounts for this act of revenge by
the fact that he was the author of the
provision, in the bill providing for
supplies to the Indians, requiring all
contracts to be Investigated and in
dorsed by the Quaker Commission.
This deprived Commissioner Parker
of a very large slice of steal, as Mr..
Stuart of Philadelphia discovered
when he reported against Parker and
forced him to resign.

Maria Louisa Clayton. the ninth wife
OF William Clayton, sues for a divorce

it into the District Court. where polvg
amy is being tried for adultery! The
divorce part of it would seem a bur

entitled 10 a candid hearing by any
Judge having jurisdiction. and is like

How to Keep a Churn from
Frothing over.

Happening one day to visit the
house of a friend who kept a COW
and made butter, l there saw
simple method he used to over
come the great trouble of all but
ter makers using the old fashioned
upright churn, viz: the overflow
ing Of the cream during the pro
cess of churning. His plan was
as follows: Take the body Of
the churn and cut a groove around
the inside of the mouth. about
three inches from the top and
three eights of an inch deep. and
then remove half the thickness of
the wood, making a shoulder all
around then take the cover and
cut it to fit nicely inside, and you
have now done away with all the
old nuisance Of cloths, tubs, pans.
ETC., heretofore required to save
the cream that flowed over. Any
man, almost, can do this, or the
churn may be taken to Il carpenter
and treated for a few cents.
Many an idea of less consequence
than this, is patented, but all may
take this one for what | gave for
it.-Scientifc AmerieGR.

The Honey Trade.

This article which, twenty-five
years ago, formed quite an in
significant article of trade in this
country, is rapidly increasing
year after year in domestic pro-
duction, while the amount impor-
ted is growing smaller.
In 1860 total product OF honey
of the United States reported
was 23,366,357 pounds. New
York stood at the head of the list;
with 2,36O,751 pounds, following
in order by North Carolina, q
055, 1863 pounds; Kentucky, !, ,76S,-
692 pounds; Missouri 1,5S5,9s3,
pounds; Tennessee, 1,519,390
pounds; Ohio 1,459,6O1 pounds;
Virginia, ,591 pounds; Penn
sylvania, 1,4O1, ,12S pounds; Hi
nois, 1,346, ,SO3 pounds; and In
diana, 1 ,124,4S9 pounds, all 9th
er States falling below 100000
pounds.
In the winter of 1S6S-69, the
Department OF Agriculture sent
out circulars, to known apiarians
in most of the States, and receiv-
ed returns from $50 counties in
80 States. The aggregate num-
ber of hives reported was 1872
3S5. Estimating for counties not
reporting, and making due allow
ance for the fact that many OF the
counties reporting were giving
special attention to bee culture,
1000, 900 OF hives were deemed
rs low a figure as the returns
would warrant. Allowing fifteen
pounds of surplus honey to the
hive (about two-thirds of the
average reported,) the total pro
duct in 1868 would be 10000, 900
pounds, which at an average val
uation of 224 cents per pound,
would give $6,750,000. When
we consider that the cost of pro-
duction is merely nominal, it will
be seen that it pays to keep
bees.
