What soHURz THINKS.


Mr.. Carl Schurz is now engaged, at the rate
of two hundred dollars speech, if report
speaks truly, in stumping certain portions of
the West for the Greeley-rebel ticket. He is
exerting himself to demonstrate to the great
American people that President Grant Is n
dangerous military despot with revolutionary
tendencies and imperial inclinations, and that
the only method of saving this unhappy coun-
try from utter destruction is to elect Horace
Greeley to the Presidency. 1t is interesting,
therefore, merely that we may illustrate the
rapidity with which great statesmen some
times change their minds under the pressure
of two hundred dollar temptations, to recall
what Mr.. Schurz said of Greeley ON the third
day of May 1879. Here it is /:
81 think the Convention would make a
fatal error in nominating Horace Greeley
for the Presidency. Instead of being the
strongest candidate that can be put forward,
regard him as the weakest. 1t is not posi-
BILE for him to win the German vote. He has
been lifelong temperance man, and his
name has been associated with the most ultra
and unreasonable acts of which they have been
guilty. He is, therefore, most Objectionable.
The liberal ticket cannot be elected without
Ohio and Illinois. Neither of these States can
be carried by Mr.. Greeley. have known
Mr.. Greeley for fifteen years, and our rela-
tions during that time have been of the most
friendly character. But he is not by nature
or by education suitable to fill the Presidential
office. His lack of dignity, his idiosyncracies,
his many crotehets eminently unfit him for
appropriately occupying so high and honora-
BILE position"

IN THE EVENING.
From Al he Year Round.

All day the wind had howled along the leas,
All day the wind had swept across the plain,
All day rusting grass, and waving trees,
Had fallen " the useful trouble of the ran,"
All day beneath the low-hung, dreary sky,
The dripping earth had covered sulleny.
AT last the wind had sobbed itself forrest,
AT last to weary calmness sank the storm.
A crimson line CLEANED sudden in the west,
Where golden hecks rose wavering into form.
A hushed revival heralded the night,
And with the eyenng-tine awoke the light.
The rosy color flushed the long gray waves;
The rosy color tinged the mountains brown;
And where the old church watched the village graves
Wooed to a passing blush the yew-trees trown-
Bird beast and flower relenting Nature knew,
And one pale star rose shimmering in the blue.
So to a life long crushed in heavy grief
So TO path long darkened by despair,
The slow, sad hours bring touches of relief,
Whispers of hope and strength of trustful prayer.
Garry his leisure" God of love and might
And with the evening-tme there will be light

gY Edmund Burke said Because some
grasshoppers under the fern make field ring
with their importunate clink, while the great
cattle reposing under the oak chew the cud
and are silent, we are not to suppose that the
noisy insects are the only inhabitants of the
field" This illustration is appropriate at the
present time The vociferous hoppers repre-
sent the Liberal Republican party; they are
far more noisy than important.

pleasant contact than is met with in putting
a letter in the postotfice.
AT the time fixed by law the ballot-boxcs
are opened and the ballots counted by the
proper officer, and publicly declared.
ANY paper or ballot found in the box not
numbered, stamped and verified, as above
stated, is thrown out by the officers whose
duty it is to count the ballots.
In this system "ballot-box stufing" and
repeating" cannot be practiced; it would
save time, trouble, and much of the annoy
ance now experienced, and so likely to
prove very disagreeable to women should
the present mode of voting be persisted in.

with DR.. A. de Bonnard, of Paris.

POPULAR PRESSURE FOR A DoG-LAw.
To the Ett,or qrms state Journal.

To the E,iitor Of ths State Journal
In looking over your paper for several
weeks past, and seeing the effort you are
making to have our present Legislators
give us dog-tax law, or, of you please
to call it, asheep and wool-raisers' protec-
ton, agrees with my views exactly. Four
years ago, when | bought and moved into
this county, Botetourt, some of my friends
in my native State, Maryland, advised me
to go to sheep and wool-raising, having
such a large boundary of land not in con-
dition to commence cropping wheat on ac-
count of there being too much blue grass
sod, and fences so out OF repair. | saw
the Importance of such move and at once
commenced to consult with some of the
best farmers of the county on the subject !;
but they discouraged me to a man. |
commenced to do the best could by try
ing to crop wheat, corr, tobacco, &C.,
hoping the day was not far distant
when could have 500 good Southdown
ewes that would enable me, by proper
care and attention, to have 500 head of
sheep and lambs per year, to put into mar
ket, and from $500 to 5000 pounds of
wool, the sales of which, at present prices,
would amount to about 81 500 year, and
perhaps the same amount of grain raised
by seeding less and putting it out better.
Though feeling anxious to try the expert
ment in small way, | bought small
flock of ewes, thirty-five head, which I
have had about fifteen months have been
able to keep them thus far by the use of
bells and in sight of the house all the time !;
and by penning them at lambing time, by
having to shoot down dogs at different
times, that were after them, and st,ych-
mined several others. [ hope, sirs, you
will never cease to press the matter upon
the Legislature until they give us justice
and protection, or we will have to send
sturdy farmers and business men to the
Legislature, who are not afraid they may
loose few votes the next election, because
they have had set Of worthless ours taxed
or their hides in the tanners vats.

Wendell Phillips on Temperance Park
Street Church. citing Address.


The last time that he stood on that plat
form was q dozen years ago, when Gerrit
Smith addressed an audience in behalf of
universal peace. 1t seemed to him that this
temperance movement would give life to
one of the best peace societies in the world.
We should have been defeated in the first
years of the rebellion, when three-fourths
of our generals were drunkards, had not
the Southern generals fortunately been
greater drunkards still. Thousands of
brave young lives were thrown away by
the drunkenness of one man at the head
of the line of battle.
They were the small beginnings of the
temperance movement when first he knew
it, thirty.six years ago. Now it is coming
to be acknowledged that the great tap-root
of all the evils that beset the world is in
temperance. 1t is not strange that such
men as Richard Golden should see this, but
it is significant that the London Times, the
Quarterly Revie,o, the Pal Mall Gazette,
journals of conservatism, of staid respec-
liability, of unprogressive immobility,
should have come to confess that the great
trouble that underlies all other troubles
is intemperance. How to check it is
one of our most perplexing social
problems. He was only there to say,
"Let us discuss a subject which is just
as great to you as it is to me-" This
Saxon blood of ours is the vassal of drink.
The obsolete and superficial medical
science of Boston may go up in body to
the State House and lay it down as their
opinion that alcohol is valuable article of
commerce, but the opinions of the best
scientific minds Of Europe indignantly dis
claim it. The temperance cause has con-
quered science; long ago it conquered the
courts of civil law, and now one-half of the
world is on It's side.
There are two styles of temperance re-
form. The one has been tried for years.
1t appeals to the individual in his individual
weakness or strength. If he be the man
to grapplc with his fierce thirst for drink,
such person appeal will avail. But if he
struggle in vain, the other course must be
tried. You haven't exhausted Yankee wit
or the resources of the civil law. He was
not made temperance man by statistics
or by personal appeal. Let every man
look into his own circle. There isn't a
house on Beacon street from the State
House down to the last house that Rox-
bury welcomes, that has not its skeleton
from this very cause. He himself was
made temperance man by looking imme'
diately around him. Every hour of his
life, if needs be, shall be devoted tc
making these streets safe for weak men te
walk in.

10 tie Eiitor Of the State Journal:
Permit me to ask, through the medium
of your valuable paper, what the proba-
bilities are during the present session of
the Legislature for the passage of law to
protect farmers from the worthless dogs
that infest the country?
This question is one of much greater sig
niicance than most of persons are apt to
suppose, and for the want of proper re-
striction, very many of our farmers are de-
tered altogether from sheep raising. My
son, who is anxious to engage largely in
sheep-raising, hesitates to do so, in the abb
sence of some stringent law regulating the
keeping of dogs.
| am of the opinion that a heavy tax
should be levied on .og owners, and the
non-payment of such tax should make it
the imperative duty Of town and county Of
ficials to rid the State of this most serious
obstruction to sheep-raisng in Virginia:
