Great Riot i'm New York.

For number Of days past, it had been widely
announced that the Or:,nsemen Of New York ill.,
tended to parade on the 18th inst, and the Irish
Catlsslxs had sworn TO prevent the celebration.
Both parties were determined and bloody work
was imminent. For a wonder, and mucb to their
credit, the State and City authorities determined
that the Orangemen should enjoy themselves, and
that peace should be preserve,l-we say for n
wonder, because the Irish Catholic element is the
material with which fl,e powers that be in New
York work out all their rascalty.
The day came, the celebration commenced. and
the rioters went to work. Although extensiy.
preparations had been made to preserve the peace
vet the riot seveal times broke ont with great ,rce
The Catholic wrath vented itself against the Ger
mans as well as against the Orangemcn. The
mob were fired upon, and much fighting took
place. A large number were killed and wounded.
many Of them women and children. II is said
that l50 rioters have been killed; and a number
of the military officers and men, were also killed.
The Orangemen quietly went on with their pa
rade and then dispersed. There is still great ex-
citcment, and guard is placed around the public
buildings.
This is what it is gradually coming to, in Amer
lea. Men who are independent enough to hold
religion different from the majority of their coun-
trymen, cannot hold celebration of day that is
a day Of jubilee with them, without being MUIR
deronsly sat hx-a race unfit to live in land
of liberty, bigoted by religion that is not only
unfit for, but dangerous to, free country; and
bloodshed ensues. 1t was the same people, actu-
ated by the same spirit, that carried the great
riot of 1868 against the Government. That ele-
ment now controls the greatest State in the Union
and designs in time to control the Government of
the United States. Such exhibitions as that of
Wednesday, are rapidly paving the way for an
other great uprising like that of 1864.

The Death Of Hon. e. M. stanton.

An infamous paragraph that has been going the
rounds for some time past slipped, unfortunately,
into our own journal last Sunday. This bit of
cruel falsehootl charges that the late Edwin NJ.
row, ended his noble career through suicide. But
for the fact that we helped to circulate this sick
ening calumny, We would not stOOp to its notice.
Edwin NJ Stanton died of exhaustion. Death
began with cessation of his public duties, and
although long period intervened, and friends
gathered about to sympathize and nurture hope,
yet all the time he was dying. The strain upon
too great, and in vain skill and scientific expe-
rience came to his aid, the end could not he ar
rested. He died as he had lived, true to himself,
holding IN his great heart vast stores of affection
for his wife and children, and with an abiding
faith in the loving goodness of his Creator.
How snch n falselood could gain any sort of
credence is a wonder. Surgeon General I.arnes
and the Rev. MIR. Starkey, of the Epiphany church,
were with Mr.. Stanton in his last moments, and
are ready to give the detailed truth concerning
the manner of his death, while the assertion that
the life insurance had never been claimed is with
out shadow of foundation in fact. Mrs Stanton,
the bereaved widow, was paid over year since,
$4,000 by the Philadelphia Girard Life Insurance
Company, no question having ever been raised rs
money.
Mr.. Stanton had melancholy temperament
His life long malady with his heavy cares wrought
sadly upon sensitive organization. But under
lying these were not only fixed principles but one
of the most loving natures God ever erected. He
was the truest friend the kindest father and the
best citizen we ever knew. However despontlent
he may have been at times, the though. of dear
ones dependent upon him would at any time rouse
him to exertion. On their account he elung to
life, and, dying, left stain upon his noble char

ANTEpIIUvIAN RELICs.-Various interesting rel
les and fossils have been recently exhumcd in diff
ferent parts of Kansas.
The Ottawa Journal thus refers to one of the
latest discoveries:
Mr. G. L. Latimer brought to the Journal Office,
this week, the fragments Of the tooth Of Masto-
donor of some other animal Of still greater size.
Its dimensions are as follows: Length on the
face, inches; breadth, inches; circumference, 20
inches: space between the grinders, II to 2 in
ches; weight, 81 pounds. 1t is a molar tooth,
and is the one farthest back on the lower jaw.
The PRONG shattered, is six INCHES in length,
and must originally have been 10 inches The
front prong is entirely broken off, and must have
been l6 inches long. Thetooth Immediately in front
of this was, doubtless, double its size. Dr. L.
c. wassOn, NJ. D., says that from the condition of
the tooth it is apparent that the animal to whom
it belonged was well advanced in years. This in
teresting relic of the earliest ages was found by
Mr.. Latimer, while seining, ON Friday last in the
Marias des Cygnes, just below the mouth of Mud
creek, two miles from town. 1t is quite probable
that fhe other portions Of the monster are there
imbedded-provided there is room enough in
Franklin county to hold them. The curious can
zee the tooth by calling at Mr.. Latimer rsresidence
in the fourth ward; and those good at figures can
amuse themselves by calculating from the dimen-
sions of this single grinder, given above. whatwas
the cxactsiEc of the beast.

FINE FAkM.-Hon. w. W. Guthrie has, near
Iowa Point, one Of the finest farms in the West.
A correspondent ofthe Troy Republica. thus speaks
Iowa Point can boast of some very fine f,lL.
blootied stock. Will give you one instance: On
the farm OF Guthrie Bros, situated about one mile
and half below town, can be found some of the
finest pigs in the country without any exceptions.
They have three pigs, IN follows: One fine Eng
lish Berkshire, not gnitA eight weeks old, weigfs
81 "a pounds; one American Berkshire same age,
weighs 81 pounds; and the other, an American
Butler county Berkshire, not quite twelve weeks
old, weighs Ia pounds
These are only samples Of the kind and quality
of stock that they are rsisng together with some
of the very finest cattle in the entire west.
1t is the aim Of the gentlemen who own the
farm to make n regular New England or Ohio
stock farm out of il. Hon. W. W. Guthrie of At
Gibson, and II. D. Guthrie, Of Iowa Point, are the
owners Of the farm, the latter gentleman having
control and management of it.

Glands For The Landless., !,

The Republican party of Ohio adopted plank
in its platform similar to the one that Kansas did
last year. Does the Commonwealth think that it
was ''tlrawn by a sharper, and intended to de-
ceive," as it says the Kansas platform vast We
republish the Ohio plank:
THAT repeat condemnation Of the policy grant
lists and having originated the policy Of granting hoe
seads actual settlers declare that the public domain
should be kept for pur laboring population"
1t will seen that Ohio is opposed to granting
''six million times" more acres to Railroads than
has hitherto been granted.-Reoord.
The Commonrealth is uncharitable enough to
believe that the opposition in the Republican par
ty to the land-grant policy of the Government
arises either from ignorance, jealousy Ordemagog-
ism. Ohio has no direct interest in land grants,
for that State is already grdirOned with railroads,
and can expect no more aid from the General
Government to assist her in works of internal i'm
provement. 1t is no harm, then, for her people to
exhibit the whites of their eyes in virtuous indig-
nation, and unite with the rabble in the cry of
"dOwn with the mOnOpOlists-lands for the land
lessw There would be some merit in this howl if
it was q fact that monopolists were getting all
the lands and the poor none. The truth of the
matter is, that the monopOlists (sO-called) have
paved the way for the poor men to obtain lands,
and to-day there are hundreds of millions of acres
of as fine land as the ever shone upon, acces-
sille to the poor poor men, that ten years ago were

TAXATION OF HOMESTEAD LANDs.-The juno

THE EFFECT which drive over the beautiful
surrounding country may have even upon people
prejudiced in favor of other localities, was well
illustrated last week. A gentleman at present
living in Illinois, but who had fully made up his
mind to move to southwestern Missouri, was Wis
iting relative in this city. When asked to take
a ride in order to get view Of the country round
about, he declined, saying it was Of no use, he
didn't like the country, and didn't to it.
He was over-persnaded, however, and at length
took the drive He said little Of his impressions
for the first few miles, but at length coming to
most charming spot, he alighted, examined the
grass, SOIL etc. and turning around abruptly, said:
"Theres no use of going any further, boys; this
country is good enough for me, and here is where
am going to settle" Within three days he had
bought 300 acre farm and this week returns to
Illinois for the purpose Of bringing his family to

BLOODY END OF BLOODY YMEN.-VALLANDIGHAM
was one of the first men in the North to advocate
force and blootshed to prevent recruiting for the
Union armies His organ at Dayton, was edited
by willing tool, named BOLLMEYER, who every
day uttered, at tvAIIASDrGHAM's dictation, bloody
threats, and advised the Democrats to deeds of
violence. He had a grudgc against a prominent
Union man of Dayton, and taking some pranks of
the mans children for pretext, made an attack
upon him, on the street, and was shot dead The
man was acquitted by jury, and a monument has
been erected over BoILMEYER, an inscription up
on which, proclaims him martyr to his principles.
VALLANDIGHAM himself wasi in spirit ruffian and
braggart. He always went armed, and boasted of
his proficiency in the of the pistol, to Overawe
his opponents, and give him free swing in his
rufianly harangues. In defending n murderer of
his clan, and attempting to illustrate his skill
with the pistol, he accidentally shot and killed
himself Now they are talking of erecting mon
ument to his memory, which will probably be used
to tell the world that he too, was q martyr.
