COY PALMER or ILLINOIS.
From the Boston HERALD


One of the ablest men in the Lib
eraI Republican movement is John
NJ, Palmer, Governor Of Illinois. 1t
was announced not long ago that ne
had declared for Grant, but this was
a mistake. He says he can not favor
fine denomination of General Grant,
and that he can not canvass the
State for his reelection unless the
candidate placed in the field against
him is more Objectionable" He does
not promise to support the Cincln-
natl movement unless it shall be
grounded on justice and represented
by statesmen, but he evidently looks
to it for the political salvation OF the
country. His political record has
been in harmony with the views Of
the men who are going to meet at
Cincinnati. Having been patiotlc
soldier in the war, he believes in the
supremacy of the civil power in time
Of peace, and his administration OF
the State government of Illinois has
been signaled by brilliant defense
of the rights OF the State against the
enroachments of the national gov
ernment. In this he exhibited bis
fearless independence by Drawing the
opposition Of his own party, and his
skill in craftsmanship by maintain
ing his position in q logicical afgu-
ment. His messages have been
among the ablest State papers OF the
country, dealing with practical ques-
tons of great interest in a straigtht-
forward and practical way, and never
faltering where the interests OF the
people were endangered by the ava
rice of selfish organizations. He is a
brave, able and patriotic man, an
acquisition to any cause, and a nat
ural advocate of political reform.

GREELEY AND BROWN.

GREELEY AND BROWN.
The Convention Of the Liberal Re
publican Party Of the United States
which convened at Cincinnati on the
LIST inst, was perhaps the most in
fluential aud harmonious of any Con-
vention which ever assembled in this
country since the days Of George
Washington.
The nomination Of HORACE GREE
LEY, for the first Office in the gilt OF
the American people, is tribute of
respect by the whole nation to a
great and good man. Mr.. GREELEY
has perhaps more influence and has
done more for the Republican Party
than any man now alive. He has
always been u Republican leader and
has never sacrificed his honest con-
yictions for personal ambition.
3. GRATz BROWN, of Missouri, is q
wise selection for the Vice-Presiden-
cy. Two years ago he beat the
Grant ticket in the pioneer Republi-
can State Of the Union /; he too is q
lifelong Republican and will make
an excellent presiding officer OF the
Senate.
This is unguestionably the strong
est ticket the Liberal Republicans
could nominate, and the successful
election of HORACE GREELEY and
GnArz Brown is foregone conclu-
sion.
Down with the bolter GRANT, and
up with GREELEY and BROWN, the
true Republican leaders.

A correspondent in Paris says +:
" The French customhouse officers, I
hear from an English Traveller, have
taken to searching your person in a
most vexatious and annoying manner
Nothing is neglected to keep away
foreigners from France. The railway
tickets are taxed, and now the mail
boats can not convey goods of q GER
tain weight without paying extra port
dues. If you want to travel through
OF live in France, you can only do so
with Inconvenience and difficulties and
heavy taxation. NJ. Theirs says that
foreigners ought to contribute to the
immense revenue which war and reyo-
luton have obliged the people to
raise"

A good arrangement for the COM
fort of travellers has been made in Mas
sachusetts. By act OF the Legislature,
conductors and station agents of the
railways may he invested with the
authority of the State us special con-
stables, with full power to make ar
rests, without a warrant, of all disor-
derry persons on the trains or at the
stations. All who have suffered annoy
ance in railway travel from the brutal
conduct of vulgar and possibly half
drunken passengers will at once see
the excellence of this plan. It will
hardly be necessary to put small
lookup car on the roads the knowl-
edge that conductors are ALSO police
men will serve to keep the unruly in
order.

A story is told Of u man in Germany
who fell from the roof of fve-story
building to the sidewalk but, as he
struck on the thick soles Of lis rubber
shoes, he bounded back within a
quarter of an inch of the roof, and so
continued to BOUNCE, decreasing by
only quarter of IN inch each journey.
He s1bsisted on hash inclosel in rub
Der balls, which he managed to catch
on the bound, and at the end of a
month he was stopped and restored to
his family.

The enemies of the Liberal -Replh=
lican movement tried to weaken the
force of the monster meeting at Coop
er Institute by declaring that the
names of General John A. Dix, Mar
shall O. Roberts and others were used
as vice presidents without their con-
sent OF knowledge. This is disproven
bv the authoritative announcement
that each and every man whose name
was so used was in advance notified
of the fact, and requested to send his
objection thereto if any he had.

Children's Aid Society, and adopted
in that hoosier capital, gets up in her
sleep and plays the piano most bcauti-
fully, though in her waking moments
she knows no touch Of it," At these
times she is possessed by the spirit OF
her mother, who was French music
teacher, and died of starvation in New
York. The child is slowly but surely
fading under the influence of her mid
night music lessons, and will soon be
with her mother.

LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSTICE

LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE
The following letter was read in
the Cincinnati Convention on the Cd
inst. !:
WASHINGTON, D. G. April 20. ~.
My DEAR S1n-My name, if we
may judge from the newspapers, will
not be much considered at Cincin-
natl. I am quite content, and none
the less gratiied to friends who think
it should be so.
AS you know I have not sought or
desired the nomination, but if it
were judged the best means of uni
ting the greatest number of those
opposed to the administration on
principle, it would be my duty to &C
cept it.
II any other name be preferred,
shall be entirely satisfied. What is
essential with me is that what has
been gained of freedom be secured
beyond peradventure that the cur
rency be placed on a sound basis !;
that real reform be accomplished in
taxation, internal, and in perfect re-
Cancellation of sections and citizens.
Your ParAesburg platform, as I re-
member it, embodies these views
substantially, and I hope none con-
trary will be adopted.
Yours truly, S. p. CHASE.

TICKET FOR SEVENTY TtTO.


TICKET FOR SEVENTY TWO.
Sweeping over the Western prai-
ries and down the broad Southern
delta comes the news, pregnant with
nations interest. The campaign
of 1872 has opened, with the battle
banner thrown to the breeze, in
scribed with the names Of Greeley,
of New York, and Gratz Brown, OF
Missouri. Pledged to Il reform OF
political abuses, they are the arant-
carriers Of a grand political revoln-
ton which will strike corruption in
its high places, and redeem for good
and wise purposes the insulted hon
or and violated rights Of the nation
The great principles to which their
candidacy gives practical expression
are not merely the outgrowth OF par
'tisan antipathies OF sectional differ
ences, but the sober views Of patri-
otto staten1cn deeply imbued with
love Of country, striving might and
main to rescue it from the evil ways
i'll which its government has fallen,
and restore it the prestige which
made it, in fact and in name, the
greatest and purest among the ma
tons Of the earth.
The primary principle Of this re-
generating work is REFORM. The
platform Gu which our candidates
stand is outspoken in its meaning
and specific in the ends which it has
in view. The men themselves give
assurance Of the faithfnlness with
which such purposes will be carried
into effect. Both are great, wise and
good. Calumny even has never ac-
cused them Of injustice, and the ran
cour political opposition has never
dared asperse their fame. Their
lives have been a long struggle for
the greatest political freedom, the
political rights Of States and COM
munities, and the pure administra-
ton Of the government Of the ma
: ton. They stand squarely upon the
question of the political equality Of
all men, and their lives have been a
long struggle for universal political
freedom in America.
The declaration Of principles upon
which they go before the country is
specific and clear, but even strong
er guarantee than it is secured in the
personal character of our candidates
t they are fitting representatives of the
honest masses of the American PEG.
pie, and are sure to administer the
: government entrusted to their con-
troll in honor, virtue and purity.
1t is not surprising, in view OF
these great exce]lencies of character
and principle, that the enthusiasm
: which now re-echoes from one end
Of the nation to the other will. in
crease in volume and extent until
wrong and injustice will sink before
the great stream Of public opinion
as the yielding shrubs sink before
the rush of the mountain avalanche.
No wonder, therefore, that the
great Reform party Of American re-
joice in their acknowledgements Gree
ley and Brown, and the campaign Of
1872 opens with enthusiasm and
confidence Of success.-N. O. Repub-

ROCKY MOUNTAINS, NO 2.
Natural Curiosity-The Deer House.

On the head of Clarks Fork Of the Co.
lumbia River, 10 a very interesting valley
twelve or fifteen miles long, md six or
eight miles broad, surrounded by very
lofty range of snow clad mountains; this
valley IS watered by innumerable small
streams flowing from the ravines of the
surrounding mountains, and finding egress
from the valley in one principal stream
flowing through gorge of abrupt and
precipitory rocks. About the middle OF
this valley may be seen q very conspicu-
Gus land mark this is an ash co!ored
mound resembling an immense hay stack.
OF cold morning column of smoke is
seen issuing from its summit, and ascend
ing to great height in the air. On np'
preaching this object it proves to be boil
ing spring surrounded by self formed
cement. The water is seen at an apper-
ture at the top of the mound, resembling
the lip of an immense jug. The water boils
over, depositing yellow and greenish
slime that finally hardens into cement.
The water emits sulphurious gasses ex-
trernely offensive, and reminds one Of the
proximity of certain hot place, hut a
short distance below. 1t is also saline and
Deer are frequently seen licking around
il. Hence the name. The water is so hot
that the finger cannot be borne in it an
instant. Groups or clusters Of similar
springs are found in several places; for
instance, on the head of the Yellow Stone
River and Salt Fork Of Snake River, and
near the Soda Springs; yet an isolated or
solitary spring of this kind is no where
else to be found.

The Cattle Trade Letter from Kansas


ELLSWORTH, Kansas, Nov. 2dth, 1872
Eiitor Dallas Herald.
The uCnttle Season is Mt last over for
this wear. Nearly all of the Texas cattle that
were driven this wear, were sold out right
| Texans having had enough last year Of
wint,rinp ON tho range. Some few Of
them. however. are feeding some cattle, as
corn ia so obeap that it will cost only
about n third more, than tho usual price
has been for winterpC on the range and
feeding hay by the settlers.
The Irode tnrned out very satisfactorily
this wear to the drovers-very few Of them
fai,ei TO make some money, though not
enough to nav them for tho risk, and
hardships incident to the business.
We can't tell yet where the two compe-
ting points for tho trade will be next year;
both the Kansas Pacific and the Atchison,
Topekn md Sanie Fe roads are antic;pa-
ting the bulk Of the trade. The latter
must move its location next year if it ex
meets to compete with the X. P. The dis
satisfaction during the past season will
work heavily against Wichita rs point,
and ON tho contrary, every drover is so
we'll nlensod with matters on the X. P,
that The universal feeling seems to be in
its favor. There is something in the cli-
mate. range and water, in this latitude
that seems TO be conducive to the health
and fat.eninp of Texas cattle that you
fail TO SEQ elsewhere. attribute it to
some extent. to the fact that the range
north Of the KIP. road is very similar to
that mon which the cattle are raised ut
home. and its being higher, dryer coun-
try. Another thing, the northwestern,
northern and western traders seem to con-
centrate ON this road, which gives splend-
ID market for stock and mixed cattle. The
A. 8. r. road, shipped moro cattle
from Wichita this year than was shipped
from Ellsworth, and it was greatly owing
to the ipdefatieable energies and infuen
ces of men interested in the welfare of
Wichita, and in the shipment of cattle
from that point, being backed by gentle.

road also as n right
