ON TO RICHMOND.

"On to Richmond" was at one
time a famous war cry of the sage
and philosopher who presides over
the New York Tribune, The trav-
el-stained and weather beaten vet
Grams heard it and laughed, for
there were serious impediments in
the way on which the word ''halt''
was plainly inscribed. When the op-
perfume time come Grant called out
"On to Richmond" and that city
was invaded, and laid at the mercy
of a triumphant army. And now
history, in political way, repeats
war traditions. The old, worn out
philosopher cries out to the Re
publican party of the nation-"On
to Cincinnati" But the army OF
people are slow to catch the watch
word, and in the signs of the times
descry the ominous word ''halt,
which holds them to their places.
1t will be only when Grant says
move on to Cincinnati, that mil
lions ofvoters will obey the COM
mand, and the nest Of conspirators
will fall just as Richmond did under
our victorious banners.

CHANGE OF FRONT.

Last September the Republican
party of Illinois met in convention
and adopted 4 resolution which de-
clared 'that the Republican party,
without any new departure, is equal
to the correcting of existing abuses,
and the perfecting of needed re-
forms, and its mission will not have
ended until they are accomplished" "
Incredible as it may seem now, Sen
ator Trumbull wrote this reso luton.
What has occurred in the brief in
terim to cause so complete a change
of front? Echo answers. "WhatT

BY THE EARS.

The candidates for the Cincinnati
nomination and their special pa rti-
sans are by the ears already in end
less chickering's and jealousies, but
none with such envy and half smoth-
cred hatred as the two from Illinois,
Davis and Trumbull. Davis has
the best show, being already Pres
idential nominee, and is working
like Trojan to win at Cincinnati.
His great wealth is brought freely
into requisition, especially in bring
ing up Davis delegations from the
South. Trumbull, on the other
hand, is short of funds and has
nothing to rely upon but his hith
erto high standing in the Senate
and a general recognition as fore
most champion of ''liberaf ideas.
If Illinois were solid for him he
might be counted as the coming
man to be beaten by Grant; but
lacking his own state, his Presiden-
tial grapes on the Cincinnati vine
are evidently sour. Take it all in
all it would puzzle an uninspired
prophet to foretell who the Cincin-
natl "crowd' (Charles Francis Ad-
ams) will pitch upon as their man,
and what does it matter, as that
will be the last of him, whoever he is.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN,

The Pittsburg Dispatch says ::
And now again the Cincinnati Con
ventionists are in trouble. This
time it is on account of Southern
Democrats. At the first it was fear
ed that Grant Republicans would
enter in and take control of the af-
fair, and, to prevent this, the lines
were drawn a little more closely.
But now it is imagined that North
ern Democrats are sending money
into the south, to enable the poor
but devoted brethren of the Demo
cratic household to attend the con-
clave at Cincinnati. Out of this
comes the possibility of confirming
the nomination of Judge Davis, in
which case woe unutterable will fall
on the recalcitrant Republicans who
may be seduced into attending that
most doubtful of all conventions.
Judge Davis so entirely acceptable
TO the Democracy that he will prove
exceedingly unacceptable to those
who may have lingering love for
the Republican party. Hence the
dread of being overslaughed by the
unwashed from the South. Yet why
such dainty fears? These are the
very gentlemen in whose behalf the
entire movement was gotten up.
They are the individuals interested
in the universal amnesty so urgently
preached. Therefore why not fol-
low the affair to its logical limit, and
give the subjects for amnesty their
proper place in the new arrange
ment. So far so well. But it seems
that it does not suit our good
friends to go thus far. They have
a very decided opposition to that
of flesh labeled Judge
Davis, and propose neither to go to
the mountain, nor have it come to
them. We advise them to possess
their souls in peace. 1t does not
matter much whether the Democra-
cy captures them, or they the De-
The result will be all the
same.

FROM MICHIGAN.
HIRBARD House.

hlhbAhD IlOCoE.
JACKSON, MICH, April "a, ~.
FRIEND REPUBLIcAN:-Not feel
ing in ''trim" and wishing a tramp
on yesterday, Tuesday morning
found me tramping. Like many
others l found that procrastination
had been the "thief of time," and
it was not by very graceful strides
that l did succeed in making the
train in Fredericksburg barely in
time to save longing regrets. The
first thing that strikes the traveller,
is the number of over-coats worn SO
late in April and the backwardness
OF vegetation in general. The wheat
crop must necessarily be failure
to great extent. 1t is not well set
and very small. l noticed pretty
closely and found this the case to
Orrville, Mansfield, to Monroeville
with occasional exceptions. After
leaving Monroeville on the Lake
Shore R. R., noticed an improve
ment in the appearance of the wheat
fields, better set and the stock larg
er and stronger. And by the way
that road runs through some splen-
did farming country.
A loamy soil, prairie soil some of
it, lime soil and shows good care
and the best of farming, which al
ways pays. The oat crop is not all
out yet, perhaps, two thirds. En-
terprise has made what was a few
years ago almost "The Dismal
Swamp" at a portion of the Black
Swamp region, to smile to the pa
tient industrious farmer and given
him a gracious return. l arrived at
Toledo few minutes past s o'clock
P. NJ, there taking the Southern
Michigan to this point. 1t be-
ing very light (moonlight) l got a
partial view of the country and from
the majority of the farms, by the
road l should judge it a fine
farming region, as l noticed the
farms well kept, bearing prosper
Gus look.
At Toledo, changing cars l left
some very pleasant r. r. acquain-
tances, something seldom make, but
the parties were certainly pleasant
and made the time pass pleasantly.
The bond of the brotherhood open
ed the acquaintance, and although
they were from eastern Penn, we
found that we had mutual acquain-
tance and so became almost friends.
Still waiting for the train, time
hangs heavily with stranger in a
strange land" Perhaps you have
noticed that when you are anxious
to make time you either arrive just
in time to see the rear end of the
train disappearing or connections
are hopelessly disjointed. In max
ing Mansfield yesterday found had
to wait over five hours, at Monroe
vile one and a half, arrived here
near the noon Of night, will get
away a little after one to-day. Moth
ing lost perhaps as am on scout.
new Court House is ap-
preaching completion. 1t is a mag
nificent structure well worthy the
place and the county, and if justice
is ever as nicely poised as the bal
ances of GODDESS of Justice, the
money spent in its erection will be
4 happy investment. Mansfield is a
busy thriving town claiming full
employment for all its laborers.
Mansfield would do well to con-
lemn the depot of the Baltimore Il
Ohio, r. r. as nuisance. The ac-
,ommodations there are crying
shame on any corporation.

FROM WOOSTER.
WOOSTER, April, 80. ,

WOOSTER, April, ", ~.
MEssRs EDfroRs REPUBLICAN,
Yesterday, Sunday, was a beautiful
day and everybody seemed inclined
to enjoy the day as in their way and
manner seemed right and proper.
While Wooster is noted for its
church-going people, there are, nev-
ertheless many who do not attend,
but delight in walking or riding in
to the country or enjoying in various
kinds of fsport better suited for 9th
er than Sabbath days.
The churches were all comfort
ably filled, and excellent sermons
preached. The new English minis
ter of the Reformed church of this
place, took charge of his congrega-
tions yesterday, and indications are
that he will give good satisfaction.
AT the Presbyterian church, we
had the pleasure of hearing Rev. A.
S. Millholland, of your place, who
gave very excellent sermon. AT
tel services, Mr.. Millholland stated
the conditions church matters were
in at Millersburg, and that as their
church building had been destroy
ed by fire they were compelled to
ask neighboring churches to assist.
A subscription was taken but what
amount was subscribed your cor
respondent is not able to say.
From appearances however should
suppose it was liberal.
The American hotel has under
gone complete renovating and is
now or soon will be much better
arranged and fitted up than it ever
has been. Mr.. f. S. Miller, the
new proprietor, is very clever and
accommodating gentleman, and
seems to make every effort to have
his guests comfortable and we be
lieve is fast gaining good reputa-
tion for the house. .....
You will pardon me for mention
business houses of this place, but as
Messrs. James Curry & Sons are
advertisers in your paper, allow me
to say, without rejecting on any
other establishments, that the en-
terprise displayed by these men
commands universal commendation.
The projected railroad North and
South is sure of being built and
as your correspondent said last
week, if Millersburg does not do
something it may be left out in the
cold, a thing should regret very
much to see.
There was an agent around selling
some patent oil, and stepped into
the cellar of one of our business
houses to show the proprietor that
it was non explosive,and commenced
experimenting with lamp, which
and Of course, made the
gentlemen retreat pretty rapidly.
The affair came near resulting in q
general fire. Patent oils are not
such nice thing after all.

THE LATE TRADGEDY IN THE IN
DIAN TERRITORY.

The Cherokee delegation in
Washington city have received let
tiers giving full accounts of the re-
cent wholesale slaughter at Going
Snake court house in their nation.
They state that the affair is an en-
tirely local and family quarrel, and
has no bearing whatever upon the
relations of the Indians with the
whites nor of the progress of rail
roads though the Indian Territory,
the scene of the massacre being
more than fifty miles distant from
the nearest railroad.

INTERESTING.

A Philadelphian largely interest
ed in iron manufacture has been in
specting the iron works of South
Wales, and in a privrte letter home
gives his observations in detail.
The sum of it all is the conclusion
that the future place for the pro-
duction of coal, iron, and steel is
America. Nowhere did he see such
coal and iron ore as at home, and
in nearly all the furnaces he found
them working some foreign ores, and
forever mixing their coal.

DANGEROUS BLASTS.

If the Boston Jubilee building
fell before a moderate blast of forty
miles an hour, how could it be ex-
pected to stand the blowing of thou
sands of Gilmore's wind instru-
ments in a .fortissimo passage? A
structure as substantial as the Great
Wall of China will be needed unless
Gilmore instructs his buglers and
trombone men to roar gently, and
keep an eye to the roof as they
blow.

.Ne1c Mode OF Graftin0.

will state an experiment that proved
successful with me this spring in grating
pear tree of pretty large size, and
which hope will prove useful in graft
ing large trees without so much expense
and time as is generally necessary.
| use q knife blade, half an inch broad,
with which l make stab obliquely
into the side OF a large limb or body Of
the tree. the knife making sharp angle
with the tree, passing into the wood and
between the wood and bark as near as |
can, so tina, when the knife Is pushed in
as far as design, il is hid by the bark
about an inch and quarter. and the
bark very little broken except IN very
large tree. The graft is so sharpened
that il slips in where the knife came out.
and just fits with the slope mostly on the
side next 10 the tree. The cut being
oblique, he perpendicular fibre or bark
binds the graft tight. The inner bark OF
the tree and graft has aboundant oppor-
tunity to unite all along the sloping side
of the graft and next the wood of the
tree !; and as the whole end of the graft
is entirly covered. there is no place for
evaporation. The gratis were only in
tolerable order. The time was April I.
A little wax was used 20 make sure the
tightness of the union. They were put
in one-fiflh of the time you could put on
a bud or graft. They can be put in
almost as fast as the end OF the graft can
be slOped of. If only one in ten should
grow, still large tree could be worked
over in this way much faster than the
common way. Whether this process can
be successful later in the season, l do not
vet know, but will try It.
fear now that have not described il
as accurately as it should be, but it is
pretty hard to do so in every particular
without engrayings. 1t differs from the
French spur budding in This very partic.
ular--the insertion is slightly oblique,
so that a portion of strong thick bark
made tense by the graft being wedged
under, it presses on the graft keeping it
solid and nearly closing up the wound.
And then ano ther advantage is, that as
the body OF the limb or tree energies
during the summer. there is no perpen.
dicular cut to gap open; there is, it is
true, an ineisiOn, but it is very small and
not within half an inch of where the
graft and tree begin to mite.-rCOr.
