COMPENDIUM OF POLITICS.

The Evening Post, Democratic paper pub
lished at Buffalo, has declared Tor Grant and
Wilson.
The Utica Herald says: "Jef Davis, flying
in female attire, was not half SO grotesque
and cowardly as Democracy skulking in the
old white hat and coat of Horace Greeley"
The Provincial Correspondent, the imme-
date organ of Bismarck, says: "This GOV
eminent has found no fault with the conduct
of President Grant toward our country dur
irg the war. On the contrary he has given
us many and valuable proofs of genuine
sympathy for our cause"
Thomas II. seymour, of New Haven, Conn.,,
Democrat of prominence, writes that a
large proportion of the Democrats will not
support Greeley, but, on the contrary, "bite
their lips in wrath at the bare mention OF
his name"
The Appleton Post says; During the
past two weeks at least three hundred pat
rons of this paper, nearly all aVoWed Demo
Gratis, have written or visited u.s. All ex-
pressed an opinion on the political situation.
Not one endorsed the nomination of Greeley!''
Liberal Republicanism don't thrive worth
a cent jim Indianola. Iowa. The Leader Of
that place says: 1.-THE Democrats are loud
in their praise of it, but with men who have
been for years Republicans, the Greeley
dodge fails to 60 down." Just SO.
Senator Chandler and Postmaster Cress-
we'll will canvass Michigan. They opened
at Lansing last night.
s.. Groesbeck says CT eeley is not his
choice, but that he shall vote for him. That's
what they all say.

ANOTHER FROM THE "UNION.'

The Union says that since Greeley
nomination, one man who was owner Of a
controlling share in seven newspapers in
this state, sold them all to an agent Of the
Grant office-holders.
That the Union is ably edited, and in
many respects a readable publication,
very few VIII deny. II, however, has got
the disease that IS found on the face of
every Liberal>Democratic organ-it lies.
Now, we beg to assure the people of this
county, that we have no documents, fur.
nished by special agents of the govern
ment, with which to disprove this charge,
but on oar own "Iittle responsibility" as
our brother Of the Union would say, we
propose, AMI do hereby brand this state
ment as au infamous falsehood. And
whether it is something that the Editor
has heard, or, on the other hand, some,
thing that he neeer heard, matters nothing,
it's untrue in any case We have conf.
dence enough, first, in the integrity OF
our government; secondly, in the editors
and publishers of this State and thirdly,
in our ability to back this lie downtown
into eternal infamy. This don't pass
for y Union JOKE, and we defy the Editor
OF that paper or any body else, to name
the seven newspapers that have been dis
posed of to an agent of the Grant office
holders. Loose assertion and careless
invective will not do, We demand the
proof, and until you give this, we hurl
back the charge into your teeth.

MONUMENT TO ELIAS HOWE.

There is a movement on foot in New York city
for the erection of suitable monument in the
Central park in memory of the late Elias Howe
Jr., the inventor of the sewing machine, the
money to be raised by voluntary offerings Of moi
not more than one dollar each from ladies who
have known the benefit Of the invention. M
Howe was not merely a successful inventor whose
needle machine, more powerful and humane than
the famous ''needte-gun," has wholly changed the
face OF one of the most universal and fatiguin9
kinds of domestic toll he was also good citizen
and earnest patriot, who freely gave his money
and time, and was ready to risk health and life Tor
his country. An experienced sculptor has salts
factory design for an impressive monument, with
studies modelled from life The project is favor
ed by Samuel Osgood, Henry w. Bellows, Will
liam G. Bryant, H. Chaplin, Henry Ward Beech
er, John Cotton Smith, Charles O'COnor, Cyrus
W. Field and other we'll know citizens. COM
mittee has been organized, and Rev. DR.. Samuel
Osgood appointed chairman DR.. r. Ogden Dore'
mus secretary and Alexander Masterton, treas
urer. subscriptions can be forwarded to Alexan-
der Masterton, president Manufacturers and Mer-
chants Bank, New York

placed himself beside us and commenced
his conversation where he had left off.
Finding that he intended to continue to
talk on the same subjects till we reached
the Exchange" and perhaps the cars, we
said to MIN very decidedly that there was
little time enough and that it would re
quire all our strength to return and get to
the cars In season, without holding con.
versation with him on abstruse medical
subjects. These remarks accomplished
their purpose. He fell back and left, say
ing he did not mean to tire US cut.
Whether this man was transient so :
journer or a resident of Waukesha, wheth-
er he was acting the BORE or was, or
thought he was, afflicted with the dis
eases about which and the means of cur
ing which he so persislantly inquired, we
do not know. The latter would be the
most charitable supposjtion.
There were other occurrences at Wau-
kesha whish might be spoken OF, but this
article is already too long to admit of it.

henest investigation Of President Grant
term at Washington. The truth can be
found only by persevering effort and res
olute investigation, and we trust that ev
cry voter in this county aud state will
fasten upon the truth before casting his
ballot.
With the rebellious Tejada as the new
President of Mexico, and Greeley at the
head of the United States government,
" large things" might be looked for in
this part of the world in the next four
years.
ALEXANDER W. RANDALL, who served
two terms as governor of this State, died

Governor Randall held several prominent
national positions, and his death is uni

U YORK. Times =:
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Monday, July 30, 1879.

Prof. 8 G. Bartlett contrasts the two
candidates for President in this weeks
Lndependent, and shows how with singular unan-
unity of conviction and determination, the great
silent body of thoughtful men, East and West,
who have no possible private interest at stake and
whose votes cannot be bargained away, support
Grant. After explaining some Of the reasons for
this, and revealing few of Mr. Greeley's weak
nesses, the writer says "This man, who deemed
it proof Of the folly Of Mr.. Beecher's Cleveland
letter that it had been applauded by every rebel
at the South now goes forth the Democratic
candidate by the actual vote of Reagan, Boccck,
Fizthugh Lee, and scores ofjust such men. We
could almost as soon vote for Andrew johnson.
Mr.. Greeley now seems to US dangerous man.
And, while Grant is both supported and opposed
because he can neither be bent, brow beaten nor
bought, Greeley's chief support comes because
he can be twisted Ike copper wire, and has sold
himself cheap."

KEEP POSTED.

The Tradecircular Oft. j. Pope s. Brothers
dealers in metals, New York city, contains the
following item 1t will be found full Of meaning
to business men:
The nomination of Mr.. Greeley has had depress
ing effect on business, and has filed the minds of
financial men with alarm and apprehension for the
elected. His wel-kn0Wn on to Richmond
measures of specie payment-letting go all the
reserve specie and currency in the Treasury, and
declaring by ac Of Congress by proclamation a re.
turn to specie payments the next day his hatred
so vituperativey expressed of the trading classes
his association with Tweed ard the deposed Ring
leaders here, all point in his success to disaster
and to the complete Reorganization of society
disorganization being his pet doctrine, and what
he knows Of it his favorite practice"
There are three Democratic papers in Wiscon-
sin that do notsupport Greeley and Brown. They
are: The Prairie du CHEN Courier, Wankes ha
P1aindea5er, and Stevens Point Pinery, all OLD
papers, edited by men who have always been
Democrats and who have exerted much influence
in their respective localities. Not single Repub-
lican paper in Wisconsin has gone over to Greeley.
To tho Editor oftbe Nea0 York Times:
Although the Springfield Republican is publish
ed here, there converts to Democracy exc ept
Sam Bowles, the editor of the paper. But there
are between fifteen and twenty old-line Democrats
who can'tg Horace, aud announce their deter
Mutation to vote for Grant and Wilson. Among
them are Scion S. Roper, Wilmore B. Stone, Henry
D, Briggs, Frank Clark, Frank Allen and Michael
Dougherty. These are six of the most prominent
young business men in the city. They have
always voted the Democratic ticket, and are de-
termined to go for Grant this time.

Will not you, or some of your croquet playing
readers, please explain the Wilmington, or other,
rules on the following points AS, ball is on
one side of an arch, and at distance of A. or
inches from it BIS ball is in position, on the
other sido of same arch II is B Il turn to strike
and his arch he gives his ball light stroke it
passes the arch, hits A. 3 ball and rebounds, or
rolls back under the arch where il comes to rest
about three-fourhs of the ball through the
arch. The question arises has he another
stroke aud What is it Has he passed his arch
kNoCKER.
1T will be observed by reference to Rule II,
that ball is dead" after II has roqued another,
until it takes its croquet. 1t is therefore clear
that b. b ball, having passed its arch in the right
direction, and roqued another, its next business is
to take its croquet upon AS. ball, and that it
must he considered as having made its arch It
is true that the last clause of Rule declares
that ball in running an arch ia required to rest
on the other side from which the stroke is made,
but, accepting the "dead" ball theory az given in
Rule II, we conclude that BIS. ball rolls back
under its arch az dead" ball, and therefore
need not be required to go through that arch
again. On the same principle, il BIS ball, being
rover, roquet another ball and glances there
from against the starting post it does 10 as
dead" ball, and b. continues to play the same
as if his ball had not struck the post.-ED. Com

How Judge nnvi. Becnme Rich.

Judge Davis, of Illinois, is a rich man. The
public may not know how ha became wealthy.
About thirty years ago, when he was practicing
lawyer in the West he was employed by IL Con-
necticut man to collect $500. Davis went to the
place where the debtor lived, and found him to
be rich in landed possessions, utwithout spare
dollar in money. lie finally settled the bill by
giving deed for a tract of ldnd-a Hat, moist,
and undesirable piece of land in appearance,
lying close by sheet of water aud consisting,
perhaps, of sixty acres. Davis subsequently
mot his Connecticut client in st. Louis, when
the latter who seemed not to have the usual
Connecticut shrewdness fell to aud gave hip a
regular blowing up;' for takinethe land rather
than insisting ON having the $500 in cash lie
did not want any OF your western laad, and he
told Davis that having received it in payment
of the debt, he lad better keep it himself and
pay the money ont of his own pocket. To this
Davis agreed. Stepping into friends office.
he borrowed $500, took the Connecticut mau' +
receipt for the land, and held it for rise.
That land forms part of one Of the suburbs OF
Chicago. Judge Davis has sold two or three
hundred Thousand dollars worth Of it, and has
nearly million dollars worth left.-IidrJorO
