What has got up so much
excitement in the GRANT Ring Of
Macarthur during the past week
What has caused the issuing
and distribution of more dirty
posters, (mangy looking paper,
smeared with lamp-black and
tallow,) announcing more meet
ings in the interest of the GRANT
Administration, which is now so
corrupt that it is indecent-is a
public scandal. Is there a child
that does not know this? Was
it necessary to throw the filthy

GENTLEAIEN-Y Your work is
steadily progressing under
Superintendent J. D Kirkpatrick,
with about 80 teams and about
1876 men; the force having been
reduced this week in conse-
quence of number of shovelers
being compelled, by the wants Of
their families, to seek employment
where they can get the money
for their labor. Those that
should furnish it to pay these,
unjustly, and against the best
interests of the Company, with
hold it. The withdrawing the
shoveling force necessitates the
stopping Of proportionate
number Of wagons, and at this
time there are fifty to one
hundred men ready to work out
their subscriptions and to make
new subscriptions if they could
get work on your Road for
their teams, which they can not
do Though their work is greatly
needed) unless he can furnish
shoyelers to load their wagons,
and that can not be done unless
means are provided to pay
them-who as a general thing
are not in situation to work
unless promptly paid. It
requires an average of about two
shovelers to a wagon to work
advantageously, while the scrap
ing force requires no men except
the teamsters and plowmen.
Many owners of teams propose
to wait two, three, or Pm,
months, for the payment of Their
wages over their inst.alments. 4
they can get thei.. teams on the
work, How can you expect
your ko@I to be built while you
WITHHOLD the payment of the
Gloney due on your instalments?
Men can not build the Road
without tools, and. your course
is equivalent to saying to your
officers: We have locked up the
tools you should have to work
with, but you must 90 on,
employ men and build the Road.
This course may look all right
and honorable to you, but if it
builds your Road it will be the
first one ever built under similar
circumstances. Mr.. Shober hav-

EDITOR ENQUIRER-The Gree
ley and Brown Meeting at AL
lensville ON the evening of 0cto-
Der 26th, was decidedly the best
of the campaign at this place, it
being largely attended. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Lyle and
Potter. Harrison Lyle made
the opening speech, which was
delivered in his peculiar sarcas-
tic style, that has never failed to
elicit the attention and meet the
appreciation of those who hear
him. rD,IG.T a
M. R. Potter is a fine, logical
speaker, educated in the political
school of Greeley, Sumner and
Schurz, made one of the most
searching criticisms Of the Grant
Administration, charging home
upon them the enormity of their
crimes in the way of frauds, de-
talcatlons, thefts, corruptions,
&c. Mr., Potter is a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed,
for he is amply able to give the
"Rads" their portion in due
season. A.

The reader of history will
remember that early in the day
of the celebrated battle of Ma
rengo the Austrians were victo-
rious. AS Napoleon sat upon
his horse, viewing the disastrous
field of conflict, General Desaix,
who had made a forced march
to rejoin the army, rode up to
his side. "What do you think
of the battle % said the First
Consul to his favorite General
Desaix looked out upon the
field, pulled out his watch, and
replied: ''It is a lost battle
General; but we have sufficient
time to fight another, and we
shall go in to win"
The contest was renewed
Desaix charged gallantly with
his division, and the world

won by the French,

HORACE GREELEY is the first
man we believe who has ever
been a candidate of any great
party for the Presidency outside
the military and legal professions.
He is a working man, with every
qualification for the high Office,
and if the workingmen of the
country, who compose three.
fourths of the voters, fail tc
elect one of their own to the
Presidency, they will miss a
golden opportunity that may not

the Presidency!

FATAL AccIDENT.-Mr. Samuel Rus
sci, Jr., of Paris, Tenn, formerly of this
city, while bird hunting near Paris, last
Saturday, met with an accident which
caused his instant death. We learn
that he had discharged one barrel of
his gun, and was in the act Of blowing
into it, when the other barrel fired lit
orally blowing off the top of his head.
The deceased was a son of Col. r. S.
Russell, of the Railroad Hotel, Paris,
formerly proprietor of the Southern
Hotel and also of the Railroad Hotel
in this place. He was a young man
who had won for himself many warm
friends, and his untimely end will be
deeply regretted by all who knew him,
We tender our warmest sympathies to
the sorrowing family in their sad af-
fiction.

what py-pcr.le may End In.

Indigestion Is not dangerous, say the
faculty. Perhaps not in itself, while Il re-
mains mere Indigestion; but look at the
consequences to which IL may lead, and
often does lead when II becomes chronic
disease. A spark of flre Is small thing.
A pressure of the foot will put II out;
breath will extingui h II. Yet IL may fire
powder mill, or kindle a fame that will
consume city. In like manner indiges-
ton may produce gastrltis, cancer of the
stomach, congestion of the bowels, apo
plexy, liver disease, and many other dang
erous maiadies. Is IL not wise, then, to
check IL In the germ? Nothing is more
clearly and indisputably established than
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters will erad-
icate dyspepsia In all Its stages. The true
policy, however, Is to extinguish II In the
first stages with the wholesome, powerful,
and infalllble tonic and Alternative. Itiseas-
Ter TO quench spark than fame, and II is
easier to cure dyspepsia when IL is first de-
veloped, than when IL has made headway
by neglect, and become complicated with
other ailments. there is not the shadow of
a doubt that the bitters are as directly an
tagonistic to dyspepsia as water is to fire.
There are thousands of cases on record
proving III fact. The remedy is safe and
agreeable. All the liquors of commerce
prescribed as stimulants leave sting be-
hind. But the sting is taken out of the
spirituous basis of this great remedy by
vegetable medication, and, moreover, the
stimulant thus indicated is OF exceptional
purity. Ofall tonics taken as safeguards
or remedies for fever and ague, bilious re-
mittents, and other epidemics, 1t is the
only one that can uniformly be depended

one Of the deck hands fell between the
boat and barge in tow. In the dark
ness it was impossible to render the
unfortunate man any assistance, and
he sank to rise no more. We learn that
suit was brought against the boat for
$40 COO damages, but it being proven
that il was owing to the carelessness
of the man himself, and that the off
GERS made all possible efforts for his
rescue. The suit was dismissed.
