The Eureka Fan.-This new candidate
which is for the first time introduced to
our farmers through The Wing to-day-we
venture to predict, will be pronounced by
all who examine it the most complete
Tanning Mill they have ever met with.
We had the opportunity of viewing one at
the warehouse of Messrs. holland & Co.,
Port Deposit, and do not hesitate to place
it far above anything we ever saw, in the
shape of grain fan. The Eureka is not
more than half the size and weight of
ordinary mills, while it has the capacity Of
the largest. At some future time we will
speak more in detail of its superior quail
ties. The name of the firm holland & Co. J
manufacturing the mills for this county is
sufficient guarantee that they will be built
in the most substantial manner.

By REFERENCE to the letter of our Harris
burg correspondent in another column, it
would seem that the border war claims are
likely to be presented to the Legislature on
such basis as to relieve the question of the
grave suspicious of fraud and speculation
which marked its career last year. If it shall
be presented by the confessedly able COM
mittee of the Senate in such manner as to
free it of all odor of the lobby and swind-
ling, all fair-minded men will be glad to give
the issue the consideration its magnitude de-
serves, and to do full justice to the honest
class of border people who have
borne extraordinary burdens during
the war. 1t appears that the Legislature
is not asked to pay these claims, but to define
their status and their just relation to the
State and National Governments, and to pro-
vide for their rehabilitation in such manner
as will put fraud to shame and vindicate those
who have been faithful and upright This
done, they ask such intervention on the part
of the State as may enable them to secure
such restitution from the General Govern
ment as they may be justly entitled to.

The Democrats are sure OF the Fourth district and
the Republicans are quite confident OF carrying the
Third, while the First and Second may well be re-
garded as debatable ground, with the chances,
under exEting circumstances in favor of the Demo-
Gratis this probable result involving further loss OF
two Republican members OF Congress. In the Forty
first Congress the Republicans had three members,
and the Democrats one; in tue Fortieth, the Repub-
licans one and the Democrats three; in the Thirty
ninth, the entire delegation was Republican, and in
he Thirty. eighth there were three Republicans to
onN Democrat, the latter being Governor English,
from he Second district
In the contest over the State Legislature, it Is
probable tAat the Republicans will come OF vie
torons, IN Consequence OF the favorable apporton-
ment In ioree In the Legislature elected in 1870,
there was Republican majority OF in the Senate
and fifteen IN the House, and both houses have been
Republican ever since 1856, even when the Demo
cTacy have uled the State on the general ticket.

that there could be no privileged classes
under it. The result of the whole matter
was that serious alarm was excited in the
ranks of the British aristocracy, and their
lordsbips receded from their position and
passed the Irish Church bill, after saving their
credit by making few comparatively unim-
portant amendments. Since then the Lords
have taken care not to give offense, but at
the present session they have, according to
custom, refused to assent to the Deceased Wife's
Sister bill, which has for several years past
been acted upon favorably by the House of
Commons and uniformly rejected by the
Lords. Some of the supporters of the bill are
evidently tired of this, and the cable accordingly
informs us that Mr.. Simon has given notice
of a motion to question the right of the
House OF Lords to negative bill which has
been passed by the Commons, and that he
has expressed the opinion that such action on
the part of the Lords is inconsistent with a
system of representation of the people. The
same question was raised at the time of the
Irish Church bill difficulty, and it was boldly
contended that the refusal of the House of
Lords to confirm the action of the Commons
was contumacious, and that their lordships
must either behave better in the future, OF
else they would be deprived of all power to
oppose the will of the representatives of the
people. 1t may be inquired, what does the
House of Lords exist for if it's functions are
limited to confirming the action of the Com
mons and the signs of the times are that this
question will ere many years be answered in
such manner as to radically change the
whole system of British government, for it is
absurd to maintain chamber of ornamental
hereditary legislators who have no authority
to legislate.

THERE seems to be prSbability that the
British House of Lords will get into serious
trouble again. 1t will be remembered that
when the Irish Church disestablishmsnt bill
was under consideration, the contumaey of
this house in refusing to pass the bill gave
rise to lively discussion as to the utility OF
House of Lords in the present age of the
world. The discussion, in fact, took such a
shape that the question of abolishing the
House of Lords was seriously debated, and q
great many persons were ready to suggest
that if the House of Lords was useless, the
Lords themselves were equally 80, and that it
would be an excellent ideato make clean sweep
and so reconstruct the Blush Constitution

being thus brought into opposition for the Governor
ship for the fourth time. The result of the contest
on next Monday is a matter OF doubt. The Republi-

disaster In Connecticut, especially as the
latter State has been carried by the Demo-
cracy several times OF late years, while
New Hampshire had been in the uninterrupted pos

Democratic triumph in New Hampshire has serv we'd

General Grant, it will be noticed, polled the high

OF his supporters OF two years ago could be brought
out, the Republican ticket would unquestionably be
successful. 1t is folly, OF course, to anticipate any
thing OF the Sort although 1t is probable that the
Republican vote will exceed tnat OF last year. The
