replace the records from his notes which
are full and perfect. When this work is
done, the country will know in whose in

Much COMMENT on this side the water
has been excited by the transatlantic
journey of the son and daughter of tho
president. 1t cannot be denied that Grant
has right to send his children abroad IL
he wants to, but the circumstances under
which both have visited foreign shores, APP
pear to have impressed the American Peo-
pie with strong sense Of the want of
tact and delicacy shown by Gen. Grant.
1t is all right for Miss Nellie Grant to be
presented to the queen of England, and
for Lieut.. Fred to dine with the sultan OF
Turkey, but there is something offensive
to democratic tastes IN the former being
spoken Of by English newspapers as "the
lady Of highest rank in America and
"a royal parsonage" and in Lieut.. Grant
being treated as young prince by the
Turkish sultan, while Gen. Sherman,
was patronized as sort of head
travelling attendant Of tho royal young
man. Gen. Grant might have chosen
a more suspicious time for the foreign

ily.

SHORTLY AFTER the Cincinnati conven-
ton, it is said that Mr.. Greeley character
isticslly remarked Of Mr.. Bowles, of the
Springfield, Mass Republican, that he
Greeley wished that he (Bowles) would
"stop that lying" We feel strongly in
clined to borrow Mr.. Greeleys language,
and to tell the Chicago Times to stop
that lying In the issue of that paper Of
Wednesday morning we find this:
That half the democrats in Southern
Illinois would not vote for Greeley, in case
he should be the candidate against Grant,
is not improbable. The tenor Of ali
trustworthy advices from Egypt, certainly
is that there exists very pronounced hos
| tility among democrats In that portion of
the state against the philosopher, while
hardly republican who favors him can
be found in that region.
We take the liberty Of asking the
Times if it has ever heard of William j
Allen, one Of the most prominent Of tn,

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER ON THE PHIL
osOPHERs NOMINATION. .
ANrsBuRY, 10th, 9Th mo-, 1879.
TO Edwin Morton, Esq, Boston;
DEAR SIR-rhy note to-day is Just re-
ceived. In replying to it, must premise
that | have no intention ut this time OF
entering into the question OF the presidency,
further than to say that the recent com.
plications of this question may be largely
attributed to an ut einpt 10 forbid the
right Of choice of candidates to republicans
III advance of the nominating convention,
and to the deliberate insult u the friends
OF freedom in the treatment of Senator
Sumner. As regards the subject of thy
inquiry, l have no hesitation in saying
that l place very high estimate upon
the character, moral and intellectual, of
Horace Greeley. He is II man of whom
his countrymen, irrespective of politics,
may well be proud. He has built up in
his sixty years II noble reputation. The
poor attempts to ridiculc him and to under
rate his eminent ability at the present
time on the part Of some of our republic
can papers, are best answered by the
eulogiums bestowed upon him in their
own columns heretofore. He can well
Afford to smile ut the feeble arrows of
sarcasm which are expended on his "whte
great-coat, and fail to reach the man be-
meath it. Personally he is the most
popular man in the United States. 1t is
very possible there may be good reasons
why he should not be president, but they
are not to be found in his moral character,
his intellect, his principles, his purposes,
his knowledge Of the interests and re-
sources of the country. l have no wish,
AS l have no reason, to withhold my good
opinion of an old friend, at a time when
SO many republicans deem it advisable, ms
a party expedient, to assail him personally
as well as politically. I|...
am, very truly, thy friend,
JOHN q. WHITTIER.

The New Store.

Schwabacher, Bros. & Co., have en-
tered upon possession of their elegant
new store, with an immense stock of
goods, including every thing in the line
of trade, literally from a needle to an
anchor" embracing dry goods, groceries,
and hardware, crockery, clothing, boots
and shoes, liquors, tobaccoes, ship sup
plies, farming and mining implements,
iron, steel, nails, glass, and every other
merchantable commodity that can be
thought of; stock in the aggregate and
on the average of from $125, 600 to $780,
600.
The main store building is of brick,
two stories high above the basement, 80
by 100 feet. The basement walls are of
stone from the Bellingham Bay quarry,
laid upon piles. The cellar is of the
full size of the building, the bottom
covered with considerable depth of
broken stone. and the whole, with the
walls, covered with cement and well
aired by grated windows in front and
rear.
The store front is of the most sub
stantial and deliberately wrought iron
pillars and arches, filed in with French
plate glass, with massive iron doors and
shutters.
The second story front is succeed and
painted, and the whole is surmounted
by a massive cornice of the most elabor-

the company is put back about a year

ing their ties and timbers from the
Clearwater and Yakima rivers and must
have been cutting on Government land,
as their booms were seized and sold.-
They do not say who interfered, but
one is left to infer that the N. p. R. r.

frequently visit us and if something is
not soon done there will be but q trace

The farmers this year were very sue
cessful with their crops, harvesting large
yields Of wheat and oats, and consider
able corn. There is no market for the
grain. The highest cash prices being,
for wheat 40 cts, and oats IL cts. per
b. and no sellers. Farmers are con-
fident of getting better prices in the
spring. which is a very fair supposi-
ton, and in consequence are holding
their grain. Money is very scarce COM
pared to other seasons, very little freight
passes through the upper country.

carry the necessaries of life through the
rough and ragged mountain trail into

How IT WAS DoNE.-The telegraph re-
ports which come since the Pennsylvan-
la election, notice the arrest in various
plrts of the State of prominent Federal
officials charged with the bribery, or at
tempt to bribe, election judges and vot-
ers. There can be no reasonable doubt
that the recent elections in Pennsylvan-
ia, Ohio and Indiana were carried by
the free use of money employed in brib-
cry and corruption. Up to within ten
days of the election no intelligent sup
porter of the Administration claimed
either Pennsylvania or Indiana. Then,
Just on the eve of the election it was tel
egrapbed to Washington and transmitted
to other States that Pennsylvania was
safe for the Administration. This meant
simply that the necessary money had
been supplied and the result was secur-
ed by purchase. An intelligent and re-
liable gentleman in Philadelphia wrote
to friend in this Territory that short
ly before the election the Grant commit
tee in that city received a million dol
lars from Washington, which was estim-
ated as equal to $4,000 votes. The re-
suit has proved that the calculation was
correct, and this is more than the Re-
publican majority in the State. From
the beginning of the present canvass the
free use of money has been the sole de-
pendence of the Grant party for success.
Besides the millions of dollars contri-
buted by corporations and Government
jobbers, every Federal official has been
laid under contribution by the mauag-
ing committee at Washington, headed
by that most INSCRIPTIONS politician,
Rev. Jas. Harlan, assisted by Simon
Cameron, the most noted thief in Amer
lea. 1t has come to this, that every
vote given to sustain the present party
in power is vote to perpetuate sys-
tenn of bribery and corruption in cleo
tions. When money rules, bayonets are
the only resort of a people desirous of
maintaining their liberties.

2ugrt Sound, 1ispatels,

Our Pos1r1oN-It has been suggested
to us by politicians that our political
course wonld prejudice the election of
Judge McFadden; that is, by opposing
the election of Wyckoff, we were Offend
ing his chief supporters, the lawless
class of community who would retaliate
by voting for Garielae. We do not un-
derstand how our support of Judge Nc
Fadden can affect his prospects detri-
mentally, when we have no personal in
terest involved in the contest, and have
no authority to speak for him Or COM
nit him in any way. Our support of
Judge McFadden is entirely independ-
ent and voluntary, based upon no par
ty or personal consideration and con-
trolled by no such motives. We sup
port him upon the same ground that We
support a portion of the Republican
ticket in this county, solely because We
believe the best interests of the public
demand it; because he has been faithful
to every public trust. and is universally
conceded to be honest and capable, and
because his opponent has used the pow
er with which he has heretofore been
entrusted solely for his own selfish pur-
poses, utterly disregardful of the public
interests. We are wiling to make per-
sonal sacrifices in the way of public du-
ty, but we are not prepared to sacrifice
our sense of public decency by any COM
promise with that class of community
who make commerce of their suffrages,
and whose sympathies and support have
heretoforebeen with Mr. Garf4 4lde at ev-
cry previous election. We have no un-
derstanding with any candidate or par
ty, and none are responsible for our
course.
