THE SWAMP LANDS AGAIN.

The Reno Crescent justifies Stewart
and Congress for virtually granting
the swamp and overlooked lands 10
the railroad instead of the State. and
assigns tine singular reason that if the
State of Nevada owned the lands il
would be robbed of them by specula-
tors and land sharps-therofore the
United States had better keep them
Il that argument is good, the State
had better reas>i-n all its interest il
the school sections and university
lands, and everything else it owns, in
Guiding the money in its Treasury. Il
the State is not old enough, or SHARP
enough, to know how to protect is
property. it ought to have a guardian
appointed over it-and on the Ores
cents reasoning, Stewart ought to
have the position, and hold the State
property as a trustee-in-trust. We are

Arrest Decay.

When plant or a tree begins to decay 1t
must needs die. 1t cannot be revitalized.
But 1t is not so with human beings. A hui
man ruin can be repaired. strengthened,
restored, though brown leaf or withered
blade of grass can never be made green
again. In the autumn Of life, or even IN Its
winter, when nature seems to be giving
way under the pressure OF years, 1t is still
possible to retard the progress of decay,
and to lend to age more than Its wonted
vIgor. AS means of promoting this object.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is unquestiona-
bly, the most potent OF all restoratives. 1t
will not make the old young, but 1t will
prevent, lessen, or soothe the inflrmities
which are the usual accomplishments OF the
decline OF life. For debility and lack OF
nervous power, from whatever cause ariS-
ing, Ii is the medicine that Of all others be-
fore the world, best deserves the name OF a
specific. In purity, in invigorating proper
ties, in its adaptation to weak stomachs
and feeble organizations, 1t has no Compel
tor among the tonics of the pharmacopoeia,
nor among proprietary remedies. Besides
its strengthening principle, 1t possesses
Alternative and regulating properties OF the
highest order, and as an anti-bilious medi-
cine Is far preferable to any of the prepare
tons containing mercury. Time has shown
that for physical decay, nervous debility,
dyspepsia, bilious and intermittent
fever, HOStetter's Bitters IL a remedy with
out q rival. This is the season of the fall OF
the leaf; let 1t remind the old, the feeble,
the sickly, to in yigorate and regulate their
systems with this great vegetable tonic and
Alternative.

The st. Louis Democrat has project
for bnildlng a double track, narrow
Gauge, airline railway between st. Louis
and the eastern cities The windwork
OF this magnificent scheme has been
pushed along very vigorously; the
whole line mapped out; an estimate Of
the total cost OF TIE road and its equip
ment has been figured up; and an as
sessment proposed for each county
through which the road is to pass. The
line runs from st. Louis, through Gin
cnnati, Wheeling, Johnstown and
Reading, Pa, to New York. At Johns
town branch DIVORCES to Baltimore;
at Reading, to Philadelphia; at Phil
lipsburg, on the Delaware, a branch
leads off nortll.eastward, crossing the
Hudson at West Point, passing through
Hartford, Connecticut, to Boston, and
through Concord, New Hampshire, to
Portland, in Maine.
The whole line is to have a double
track and three loot and six inches
guage, and is to be equipped with at
least ten thousand freight cars and
other rolling stock in proportion. The
total cost is estimated at SIC, 100000
which is apportioned among the coun-
ties along the line; Ohio county, West
Virginia, being expected to raise $780,
600 Of this sum
The Democrat has the whole road
figured out very nicely and calculates
to a pound the amount OF freight and
the number Of passengers it will carry
and estimates to dollar the receipts,
running expenses and dividends of the
road. All Of which is very nice on
paper and affords very pleasant material
for dreams.

The West Virginia Star brings the
sad news that Leggett's mill, about one
mile north OF Jacksonville, was con.
sumed on the 9th inst, by fire, with
almost all its contents.
The mill caught from the smoke
stock, taking fire in the comb Of the
roof, over a wheat granary, and in such
a place that it was impossible to get at
the burning place, save from the out,
side. But very little property in the
mill was saved, owing to the fact OF the
time being lost in fighting the flames on
the roof, so that abandoning the hope
of saving the structure at the last mo-
ment it was impossible to rescue any
thing save few comparatively value
less articles. The mill comprised a
carding factory, grist mill and a saw
mill, all combined under one roof. GOV.
ering an area OF about nine thousand
square feet. 1t is estimated that the
loss will be between eight and ten
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Leggett purchased this mill
seventeen years ago, and since that
time has certainly been continually
adding to it. Much of the building and
machinery was quite new.
The mill was insured in the Home
Insurance company of Columbus, Ohio,
for the sum Of four thousand dollars,
which amount we hope Mr.. Leggett
will recover, as he is justly entitled to it,
having used all proper precautions in
regard to his mill.-PdrkersbTy Times.

Caroline,s Fire King.

The Denton (Maryland) Union says:
We have noticed for some time past an
article going the rounds Of the press
copied from the columns Of the New
York Herald, relative to the unaccount-
able feats performed by Nathan Cocker,
a colored man residing but a short dis
lance from this place. When under
the influence Of liquor he is very loqua-
cious and talks extravagantly OF his
performances. He can, however, eat
red hot anthracite coals; stir up red hot
Goals in furnace with bis naked hands,
lick a red hot bar of iron until it is
cold, receive motion lead into his mouth
and keep it there until it cools, and it
has been said that he has walked on a
red hot bar of iron barefoot. This feat
we have never witnessed ourself, al
though we have seen him apply a red
hot bar Of iron to his bare feet,
and kept it there until it had
lost its redness. But we have noticed
there are times when fire seemed to
effect him; and we have seen him start
back from its touch. We remember a
few years ago while he was mixing lime
for the plasterers who were at work
finishing building for US in this town
he ran his hand into the lime while
being Stacked to take ont the core, but
drew it out in a twinkling. The lime
burned him and he felt its effects very
sensibly. Another time company OF
mischievous young men treated Coker
rather badly. He made wager with
them OF twenty dollars, that he could
sit on a red-hot stove for fifteen min
utes. The stove was heated up until II
was all aglow with redness-the fire
king took his seat and actually, 1t is
said, sat out ten minutes Of the time
but one Of the wags pouring little coal
oil on the stove, drove him from HE
position in double quick and burned
him severely. He is a remarkable
negro, and no one yet has ever been
able to explain his dealings with this
element.

Will THE INTELLIGENCER SUP
---------.-yA&ART- AARANTS--------

Having been driven to a corner by
the pointed inquiry whether, in the
event of his nomination, the Wheeling
Intsidoeneer will advocate GRANTS re-
election, the editor of that paper
souirms in his usual..manner, and at
temp.s to evade direct reply. Willing
to wound and yet afraid 10 strike, he
iusinuates the charges he dare not
openly make, and conjures up some
mythical and suggestions informant
upon whom to fix the paternity Of his
own falsehood. He says;
1--WE suppose it will not be denied
that money to help out at least one
Democratic campaign was sent from
New York to this State. ... .... .
1t is denied most positively. Not
one dollar has ever been received from NeU
FORK TO help any Democratic campaign !"
tbs STATE. ...... ........
As regards the charge that the cam
paigu funds OF the party have nearly
all been absorbed in liquidation Of
debts due to the REGISTER office, we
have simply to say that it is absolutely
and entirely false. The "good Demo
cratic authority" upon whom the Intel.
liysncer places the authorship OF the
assertion. is probably a fictitious per-
sonaye evoked from the editors own
brain and partaking Of his own propen-
si,yIor slauder. There is no Democrat
IN this State worthy Of and enjoying
the confidence OF his party who could
have furnished the editor OF the ntelh-
geacer the information he claims to
have; aud there is no Democrat who
knows anything about the operations OF
the State Executive Committee who
does not also know that the Intelligent
GERS assertion concerning the source and
the use Of Democratic campaign funds
in this State is utterly destitute OF even
semblance OF truth.
And now we return TO the original
question that has so disconnected our
neighbor and stirred up his bile, al
GRANT is nominated 10y the Republi-
cans for President, will the Wheeling
Iatelhgencsr support him% We pause
for a reply.

A CONTEMPORARY speaking Of the latest

A CONTEMPORARY speaking Of the latest
defaulter, Postmaster Hoover, says tina
he was a Radical Of the first water,
whom that party Of principles and
purity has delighted to honor. He was
formerly postmaster ofthe city Of Wash
ington, and has more recently been
honored with the influence OF a lobbyist
at the White House and the Depart
ments, and as sort OF procurer-general
for clerks and candidates for public EN-
ployment. That influence he has used,
for consideration of course, in obtain
ing positions nnder Government for
hungry partsans and needy aspirants.
Hundreds of others, under the official
cloak, or in more covert ways, have
done the same thing with such immunity
and with 30 much success as to embold-
en- Mr.. Hoover, and others like him,
to make a professional business of it

know how extensively and profitably
this species OF panderism is practiced at
Washington, at the Executive Mansion,

Departments and Bureaus. and at every
point where the appointing power can
be directly or indirectly reached.

GENERAL GRANT has directed the

MORE KU.KLUX.

Something should be done with the
Indiana Ku-Klux. A proclamation of
martial law over all the southern por.
ton OF the State, and the arrest and
Imprisonment of at least one thousand
men, women and children, is the very
least that GRANT and AKERNAN should
think OF. Three colored citizens, three
OF the "dusky wards of the nation,
were taken from their beds last Friday
morning by an armed and masked mob;
aid hung by their necks until they
were dead. If they had been only
white men, the crime might be more
easily overlooked, and less rigorous
measures might be deemed sufficient for
the prevention Of such excuses in flu
ture. But the victims were loyal
blacks" and had they lived until next
fall every one of them would have voted
for General GRANT, our present illus
trious chief magistrate. This height,
ems the enormity of the offense and
brings the case within the provisions OF
the Ku.Klux law. Certainly the Pres
ident will not permit the lives Of his
colored friends to be thus trifled with,
without bringing upon the offending
State swift and terrible retribution. The
warning afforded by South Carolina has
been unheeded, and Indiana may as
we'll submit at once 70 pass under the
rod. LID, .-.l.... .. .sr
