The State and Presidential Campaigns Of
1872 will be the most important, in many rc-
spects, in which the two great political PARTIES
nov in existence have ever been engaged.
The Democracy are making insidious efforts
to obtaia the control Of the National Govern,
ment, and il is essential that the people be
kept thoroughly apprised Of their movements,
a. well as Of the claims of the Republican
party to . continuance Of the confidence
which has been reposed in it for the last
twelve years.
In the State the issues will be very Import
ant they win comprise the questions Of po-
litical honesty and economic government !;
whether public servants can prostitute the
public funds 10 their own private use, thus
corruptiug the service, and making out Of
the State Offices mere places of pelf for
plundsrers. The people .will be called upon
| to decide whether the crimes and blunders Of
the Democratic party shall be fastened upon
the State for another term. The corruption
and imbecility of the last Legislature has been
| . by-word Of reproach ever since it closed its
session. Every reform measure demanded by
the people, and promised by the Democracy
failed of passage BY that body and its history
is IS Infamous as that of any General Assem-
bly, which has ever disgraced the ANNALS Of
| legislation. The people are to spronouncs

essential that they be thoroughly prepared Ia

A Novel Gun Carriage.

Our in certain Western fort, some
time ago, the major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively in
fighting with the Indians. by dispensing
with gun>carrisges and fastening the can
non upon the backs of mules So he ex-
planned his views to the commandant.
and it was determined to try the expert
ment. A small howitzer was selected
and strapped upon 90 ambulance mule,
with the muzzle pointing toward the tail.
When they had secured the gun, and
loaded it with hall-cartridge. they led
that calm and steadfast mule out to the
bluff and set up target in the middle of
the river to practise at. The rear of the
mule was turned toward the target, and
he was backed gently up to the edge Of
the bluff. The officers stood around in
semicircle, while the major went up
and inserted time fuse in the touch
hole of the howitzer. When the fuse
was ready. the major lit it and retired.
In minute Or two the hitherto unruffled
mule heard the fixing back there on his
neck, and it made him uneasy. He
reached his head around to ascertain
what was going on, and, as he did so. his
body turned and the howitzer began to
sweep around the horizon. The mule
at last became excited, as his curiosity
grew more and more instense. and in a
second or Two he was standing with his
four legs in bunch, making six revolu-
lions minute, and the howitzer, UNDER
stand, threatening sudden death to every
man within half mile. The command,
ant was observed to climb suddenly ur
tree; the lieutenants were seen sliding
over the bluff into the liver, rs if they
didn't care at all about the high price o
uniforms; the adjutant made good tint
toward the fort, the sergeant began t
throw up breastworks with his bayonet
and the major rolled over on the grount

TREATY-ALABAMA CLAIMS,

The threatened rupture of the
Treaty on the part of the British
Government, Is all the more extra
ordinary in view Of the fact that
everything was taken into consid-
GRAFTON before the Treaty was
formed and ratified. and that moth
ing has yet been decided under it.
The case on the Am erican side has
simply been prepared for the
chosen Court Of Arbitration, whose
decision the English people threat
en- in advance to repndiate. That
such course is rmjustifable is
evident from the vsry prelimina-
ries to the Treaty. The Preamble
shows that the points now called
up. were the very ones under con-
siderstion. It reads: "Whereas
differences have arisen between
the Government Of the United
States and the Government OF Her
Britannia Majesty, growing out Of
the acts committed by the several
vessels which have given rise to
the claims generally known as the
Alabama Claims; and whereas Her
Britannia Majesty has authorized
her High Commissioners and
Plenipotentiaries to express in a
friendly spirit the regret felt by
Her Majesty's Government for the
escape under whatever circumstan
ces of the Alabama and other YES
sells from British ports, and foz
the depredations committed by
these vessels; now, in order to re-
move all complaints and claims on
the port of the United States, and
to provide for the settlement o.
Her Britannia Msjesty's Govern
ment, the contracting parties agree
that all the said claims growing
out of acts committed by the a:ore-
said vessels, and generally known
as the Alabama Claims, ehsll b
referred to a Tribunal Of Arbritra-
