PANlllaI CIT.

Good advice must come from q teach
or whose daily walks and conversations
conform in every respect TO it. A ieca'
crous preacher is not u 1T person To ser
monixc upon chastity. A ranting rebel
cannot iml,rcss people with the belief
that he is safe defender of the cOnsti'
tuition. A hypocrite, when bis charac'
ter is well understood, loses force in his
advocacy of what he does not believe
and has never pr,cticcd.
1t would seem to Us that some OF the
Saline county politicians who belabor
their ncighbors for having seen BIT to pp-
pose some Of the candidates upon the reg
ular ticket are rather idiOtic, if they
think the mass of the voters pay much
attention to their lily conceived homi-
lies upon "Loltcrs," =" soreheads," etc.
Their political purityCo is so indubitable
that they probably think all hands will
simultaneously rush to their embrace for
having uttered such lofty sentiments.
Do they believe they can influence men
to regard their asseverations, when their
past records SO faithfully belle their
words. No great stretch of the memo
~ is required to recall the time when
they were known throughout the land as
professional boilers and, in all sorehead
movements, were distinguished for their
consummatc skill in denominating their
opponents candidates aud supporters of
regular tickets "horse thieves" "gam-
blcrs," ." Democrats" etc. They forget
they have records, but the voters do not.
Since they have managed by the mos,
wholesale intrigue, by the use of money,
and by the prostitution Of Offices, to g IN
the management of nominating conven-
tons, they use the party lash fearfully,
and savagcIy whip those who act outside
the convention, as they invariably did
not long ago. But is their course en-
tircly Consistent with their position now !!
We think not +; for only few days ago
they might have been heard dcclaiming
against the late nominations at Ellis
worth and threatening to run other men.
Fears for the safety OF their favOrite can
didatcs will only keep them from doing
il now.
Notwithstanding all the antipathy
they profess for boilers, whom they so
hypocritlcally term party disorganiz-
ers," they readily take up and nominate
for the most important p 'si,ions any Of
these same vile disorganizcrs, provided
they promptly enIists in their interest.
How honcst-these virtuous men.
We profess to be Republicans and do
not consider our Rcpublicanism can be
wrcnchcd away from us by pigmies
whose party loyalty continues while tha,
party is dominant. We are Republicans
still, even if We do not support the whole
of the nominated ticket. We are not
bound to support and laud to the skies
whom We know to be knaves, just be-
cause they are nominated. We are free
TO use our suffrages IA VIC please.

One great benefit realized by having
q Congressman from the Western part
of the State will be that he knows and
fully understands the trials and dangers
experienced by border men at the hands
Of mcrcilcss savages. II is our impress
sion that the outlook is favorable for the
procurement of long needed protection
to the frontier. At Washington, little,
comparatively, is known of the loss Of
life and property, by the Indian raids.
They little realize there the true state of
affairs on the extreme border. BY the
election of our Western candidate, those
who are liable to suffer so much for the
cause of civilization, may have an agent
IN their interests at headquarters.

A Heavy Contract.

LAST Fourth of July, young man in
the employ of wholesale house in Du-
buque, in conversation with his employ.
er, was induced to enter upon simple
task, at what seemed high salary He
was offered $500 per annum, in addition
to what he was then receiving, if he
would merely carry from any place on
Main street to the river shore, and throw
into the Mississippi the first week, one
single shot, No. 8 the second week, two
shots the third week, four shots the
fourth week, eight shots and so on,
doubling the number of shot each week
the young man who took the contract
to find the shot.
Well, he entered upon his contract.
The first month, as will be noted above,
his work was easy-simply to go to the
river four times, carrying with him in the
aggregate fifteen No; shot. The dfth

teenth week, 4,096. At this juncture,
both from curiosity, and to save the labor
OF counting the shot, which was getting
to be troublesome, he weighed his 4,096
shot, and found that they balanced Just
IL pounds. He had now carried and de-
posted something less than three pounds
OF shot. He congratulated himself that
this was earning $125 very easily.
The fourteenth week he deposited-still
doubling the amounts pounds the fif-
teenth week, 8 pounds the sixteenth
week, ~ pounds; the seventeenth week, "a

Up to the 9th, nine bodies had been recov-
cred from the ruins of the Boston fire. Five
of them had been identified. Nineteen bod
les, supposed to be buried in the ruins, were
still missing.
Much anxiety was felt on the 9th over the
critical condition of Horace Greeley, who
was so Ill that his recovery was doubtful.
The New York Tribune of the 9th says: "We
are deeply panied to state that in the last
thirty-six hours Mr.. Greeley's condition has
changed greatly for the worse. Throughout
Yesterday he remained nearly all the time
unconscious. In a counsel of some Of the
most eminent physicians in the city, only
one was without hope, but all regarded the
case as critical and alarming"

The African Slave Trade.

GENERAL KIRKHAM, the English direc-
tor of the army of the King of Abys.
synia, has supplied to the London Daily
Telegraph some valuable information re-
specting the traffic in slaves still carried
on between the interior of Africa and
the Turkish Empire. He says:
The Abyssinian Envoy estimates the
number of slaves annually carried off
from Africa to the Arab and Turkish mar.
kets at $4,000 to 100000 These unhappy
beings are taken away at ages ranging
from seven or eight to sixteen years, older
men and women being found more
troublesome than valuable to the dealer
They are brought down from the centre
of the continent and the region of the
White Nile to Kassala, and are hurried on
to the slave market at Metemmeh, to be
resold for shipment to Jedda. Foreign
Consuls at Khartoum check, so far as
they possibly can, the passage of slaves
down the Nile, while Sir Samuel Bakers
expedition has done much also to increase
the difficulties which beset the transit of
slaves across that route. The Shankelto
country and that of Woolah Gallas are
faYorite grounds for the nefarious and in
famous practice ofthe traffickers in human
beings, these provinces being close to
Bogos, through which, since the annexa-
uon by the Khedive, slaves can be safely
passed to MaSsowah, thence to be shipped
for the Arabian coast. Shankelto is a
district bordering on Abyssnia proper,
and Is Inhabited by wandering tribe
resembling Gypsies, who are regarded
as the Bedouins of Abyssinia. Shankelto,
according to General Kirkham, belongs
of right TO Abyssinia, and about eighteen
months ago Prince Kassai had occasion
to send down thither one of his Generals
with large force, completely to devast-
ate the country for the murders that
were frequently done there on his mer-
chants and priests-there being churches
there for the baptism of the people.
The following is the fashion in which
the slave dealers capture their victims:
They go into village, take with them
silks, or beads, or bits of tin, and orna-

lie, the Southern people themselves being
judges, TO the whole accusation which
formed so large part of the
Greeley Democratic campaign. They
have proven that they prefer General
Grant, with all the alleged wrongs in.
flicted by him, to Mr.. Greeley, with all
his promises of relief. They are satis-
fed, at least a majority of them are, with
the Republican party in its administra:.
ton of the Government. The political
plea that was designed to win their favor
turns out to be signal fail
ure and the reason we have in the fact
that il was not founded in truth.
We regard it as fortunate for the coun-
try that the reelection of General Grant
is thus relieved from any sectional aspect
Had il been otherwse-had the South
voted solidly against him, and the North
as solidly for him, and his election been
secured simply by the preponderance of
the latter-then we should have had an
exhibition of territorial antagonism emf
nently undesirable. Happily, no such
picture is presented. The President-elect
is no more Northern than he is a South
ern President. He is the choice of both
sections. We have no Northern policy
confronting a Southern, and no South
ern policy confronting Northern. The
majority of the people, both North and
South, declare themselves to be in favor
of the same policy. This would seem to
be reconciliation" already attained. If
there be an irreconciled minority at the
South, we know of no relief for it but to
accept the will of the majority and make
the best of its own situation, since this is
a stern necessity in all popular govern
ments.
The New York Tribune, even since it
became "a thoroughly independent Jour-
nal" has spoken OF the South as abiding
the issue" and expressed the hope that
General Grant will hasten TO clear out the
"thieves" who have been plundering this
Inflated South. Pray, what issue has the
South to abide, for which to arm her pa
tience, and in respect to which she needs
the advice of the Tribune? Absolutely
none except that to which she has just
made herself voluntary party. She has
not been defeated by Northern major
ity. She has not been conquered by
Northern ballot-box. Mr.. Greeley has
been defeated, but not the South. She
has voted for the candidate of her choice;
and that candidate was not Mr. Greeley,
We can readily understand how he must
abide the issue but there is none for the
South that is not entirely acceptable to a
majority of the people. And heartily do
we rejoice in the good prospect for the
future afforded by such a fact. 1t looks
as if the millennium might be nearer than
some people have supposed.-Nelo York
Independent.

The Vote of the southern States.

Ir is worthy of special notice that Gen
eral Grant, while carrying all the New
England, the Middle, the Western, and
Pacific States, without an exception, has
also carried majority of the Southern
States. During the canvass it was claim
ed, and by the supporters of Mr.. Greeley
confidently expected, that the Southern
vote would be overwhelmingly in his
favor. Here his greatest strength was
said to be, and here was placed his chief
ground of hope. The underlying theory
of this proposition was that the Southern
states had been so badly treated by the
General Government under Republican
rule that they would hail almost anything,
even Mr.. Greeley himself, as a boon, if it
promised to mitigate the grievances and
expressions under which they had been
suffering. Mr.. Greeley adapted himself
to this theory; and, hence, in his elec.
tloneering speeches, he was constantly
descanting upon the wrongs, the injustice,
the prescriptions and acknowledgements
perpetrated against the South, meaning
the white men of the South. All this
was a political bid, designed to invite
Southern support to the Greeley Democ-
raey, as being the only hope of relief.
While the canvass was proceeding, we
pronounced the whole allegation to be a
vile SANDER upon the Government and
also upon the Republican party; and we
now think no better of it.
The result of this appeal at the South is
the most astonishing that was ever
heard Of, if there had been any truth in
the appeal itself. Put the theory and
the voting together; and then we are pre-.
sented with the spectacle of 'heart-
broken" injured, crushed and outraged
people turning their backs upon their
political savior, and by an overwhelm-
ing majority greeting and cordially well
coming their oppressor. They vote for the
tyrant, and against the man who will se-
cure TO them theirrights. Such stupidity
is too great to be possible The plain
truth is, the voting at the South gives the

General News Summary,
THE OLD WORLD.

The bill legalizlng the marriage to de-
ceased wife's sister has passed the Legisla-
ture Of Victoria, Australia.
Emigration from Italy to the United States
has increased to such an extent that the at
tentlon of the Government has been called
to It.
At meeting of the Deputies of the Left
Center, Of the French Assembly, on the 2lst,
a report was unanimously adopted, contain
ing, among others, propositions for the pro.
longation of President Theirs term Of Office
to four years; the nomination Of Vice Pres
ident, and the creation of a second Chamber.
The members of the extreme Left indorsed
the declaration of Gambetta that the dsso-
luton of the National Assembly was the
sole remedy for existing difficulties.
President Thiers told several Of his friends
who called upon him, on the 22d, that he
would make all reasonable concessions to
secure harmony in the Government; but that
it was impossible for him to relinquish his
well known convictions.
1t was known In Paris on the 23d that
President Theirs indorsed the plan proposed
by the Committee of the Left Center for the
formation of q second Chamber of the Ma
tional Legislature. He also favored some
definite settlement of the relations between
the Legislative and Executive Departments
Of the Government.
Paris dispatches of the 25th state that the
political situation was gloomy, and it was
unlikely that the differences between the
President and the Assembly could be ar
ranged. The Right Wing of the National
Assembly'had selected General Changarnler
for President, should Theirs resign.
The majority report of the Committee on
the Address was read in the French Assem-.
bly, on the Goth. 1t insisted on the estab-
lishment of responsible Ministry as a
means of lighting Radicalism. A motion to
postpone its consideration to the 2sth was
carried-356 to 332-aRd this result was re-
garded as favorable indication for the Gov
ernment
