A thickly- y-wooded island. known as
Long Island, about fourteen miles above
Muscatine, in the Mississippi. has turned
out to be regular robbers nest. The
discovery was made by the police OF Da.
venport, who, having had their suspi.
cions aroused, visited the spot recently,
but. on reaching it, found that the
thieves had fed. Many evidences, how
ever. of occupation OF the island were
strewn around. Boxes Of all kinds and
many sizes were thick on the ground.
with bits of paper and pieces Of twine
and rope, here and there an old gar
ment, and many signs Of carpenter work.
According to the report OF farmers liv-
ing near by, the island had been aban-
doned by tho Villains only the 'lay be.
fore. when they had loaded large yawl
aud skiff With plunder, and started
Southwark. None Of the honses in the
vicinity of the island had been disturbed
by the thieves. and the farmers thought
the people on the island were party of
sportsmen, for they were often seen fish
ing in the river. and starting off with
guns on their shoulders. as if going off
on q hunt.

"UsED UP."-What is the precise
meaning of this familiar phrase when
employed to signify an unnatural condi-
tion of body and mind? It means ex-
haustion, languor. want of vital energy,
mental apathy-a pitiable state Of physi-
cal and mental helplessness. The best,
and in fact the only perfectly reliable
panacea for ''nsed up" system is that
most popular and potent Of medicinal
stimulants, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
No matter whether the health has been
broken down by excessive labor, over
study, an insalubrious atmosphere, anx-
iety, Irregularities in diet. dissipation.
or any other cause, this powerful and
pleasant vegetable restorative will soon
recruit the dropping energies OF nature,
restoring the integrity of the nerves,
and e-establishing that functional regu-
larity which is essential to animal vigor
and hopeful frame of mind. As cure
for debility, in all it's varied manifesto.

A constant reading OF the Arizona pa
pers, with their endless catalogues Of In.
dian outrages, brings the following edi-
torial extract from the arizona Miner, OF
the 21st ult., published ut Prescott, out
Of the realm Of exaggeration into that of
stern reality:
It will soon be ten years since we frat
arrived in this Territory, and, in looking
back over our long residence here, me-
mory fails to point out one week in
which ono or more white men have not
been murdered by Indians, and in which
valuable property has not been stolen or
destroyed by the same people. For five
years Of this time our duty as editor Of
this paper has compelled us to record
most Of tho bloody deeds that have been
enacted, as we'll as to note and comment
upon the losses that have been sustained
by our citizens. And, again, it has fallen
to our lot to view the mangled remains
OF many Of the victims OF savage feroci-
ty; to feel for those whose last dollars
worth of property was taken from them (;
to loee property of our own; to be made
target OF by Apaohes; to be on the
watch against surprise, and to have our
hair erect itself, and to stand, ride and
walk in fear aud trembling of lurking
savages. Need we say, then, that we are
tired OF this state of affairs, tired of the
unpleasant duty it has forced US to per-
form? Scarcely.

The Maine Election.

IN writing about the recent great Re-
publican triumph in Maine, the Augusta
correspondent of the New York Times
says;
The one thing demonstrated beyond all
question by this campaign is that Libe-
raj Republicanism" does not amount to a
single unit in Maine. The vote of the
two parties will show these astonishing
facts-astonishing to those who have put
faith in the boast of the Greeleyites and
their organs-that the Democratic ticket
has not polled, in proportion to the ag-
gregate, as many votes as in 1868 and
that the Republicans, in proportion to the
aggregate, fall little short of 1868. In
other words, the so.called Liberal strength
has not added solitary vote to the coali-
tlon side. Their presence is not discov-
erable in the returns. And if they are
there, then it follows that for every va
cancy they created in the Republican
ranks good Democratic recruit was fur
nished to fill il. This was undoubtedly
the fact. Scores of instances have come
to light since the election of Democrats
who voted the regular Republican ticket
who were never suspected of such an in
tentiOn in advance. And 1t only proves
what some of the more sagacieus leaders
on both sides have maintained, that this
loosening of party discipline would ope-
rate quite as potently upon the Demo.
Gratis as upon the Republicans. Perhaps
in no respect is the futility of the Lib,
eral" movement more forcibly illus
trated than in the Third District Ev,
cry one win remember with what q
parade Mr.. Greeley came to Augusta
II was solely for the purpose of giving
eciat to the mongrel Congressional Con

vention, which on that day put up M
Liberal Republican Lang to beat that
''pertinacious young man." Mr.. Blaine.
There was great deal said at the time
about the number Of signers TO the call,
and II was attempted to make q great
sensation of the alleged fact that 406
votes were cast In convention for Mr..
Lang's nomination. The votes were cast
by anybody who chose to put handful
In the hat, which thing was actually done
by boys and mischievous Republicans
who were present. In vain do we look
for those 409 at the polls. Not only does
Mr.. Blaine receive larger majority than
In 1870, but he goes several hundred bet
ter than in 1868, and In the entire District
his vote will be found to be nearly one
hundred better than that of Governor.
And right here wish to call attention to
the wonderful vote of this District. The
counties composing the Second and
Fourth not only did 80 well in 1858, but
also In 1871, that 1t was hardly possible for
them to show greater improvement than
they actually do. But the Third District,
In which the majority at the Guberna-
torial election In 1868 was 3,246, and In
1871 only 2, $780, now not only outstrips last
year, but gallantly goes ahead OF even
1868 by nearly five hundred votes. And
but for the county seat quarrel in Somer-
set and the cider question, both entirely
local, the majority would have been q
round four thousand. So much for Mr..
Greeley's "pertinacious young man" He
has reported" again, in manner not at
all acceptable to his political opponents,
and they will not "mlss" him until he
ceases to handle Republican campaigns OF
Maine.

Why a Democrat Prefers Grant and
Wilson.


Mr.. EMIL SAuR, of N. Y, who was
nominated by the Republican State Con-
vention for one Of the Electors-at-Large,
has responded to that action in the fol-
lowing letter:
" Hon W. A. Wheeler, President of the Republi-
can State Convention:
"DEAR SIR: I have the honor to ac-
knowledge your kind note of the oath
ultimo, informing me Of my nomination as
Elector-at-Large by the Republican State
Convention. It affords me great pleasure to
accept the nomination, and to tender my
sincerest thanks to the members OF the Con-
vention-not only for the confidence mani
tested toward myself, but more 80 for their
just recognition of the German American
element Of our State population. Allow me
to add that, under no consideration would 1
have accepted nomination imposing upon
me, in case of my election, more than tenn
porary duty-nor would / have deemed it
consistent with my honor as man, and my
convictions as citizen, to take this de-
parture from my Democratic friends, If that
party had not sealed its fate by an alliance
which seems to me unnatural, corrupt and,
in its logical developments, disastrous to the
best interests of the Republic. l prefer
Grant and Wilson because l believe that
through the the election of the Philadelphia
nominees the policy OF the Administration
of an incongru0us element; that it will be
more liberal by the experience gained from
the past and present; that it will fully re-
store peace and harmony between the North
and South, and preserve that security and
| stability in regard to the financial affairs OF
| the country which have been blessing to
our people and an honor to our Govern
ment.

well as Republicans politically, we have so
much right to be proud.
There Is something grander, my friends,
than personal triumphs, Thereis something
more glorious than all the political houors
you could confer in a lifetime. II Is to have
assisted In elevatlng and regeneratlng ma
tion---in blotting from Its escutcheon foul
shame and dlshonor in trampllng down tyr
amy and wrong, In lifting up the bowed
down, in befriending the friendless, In break
ing shackles and fetters that the oppressed
might go free, and in making the land so
faithful protector of the poor and humble
as to win the approval of mankind and the
favor Of Almighty God.
It is to have helped to make our nation so
conspicuous among the family OF nations
that the whole world can see, as the crown
ing glory Of the Republic, that that banner
shields the poorest as faithfully as the most
powerful In the land. 1t is to have labored
for the right as to have been able to triumph
with 10, and for 1t, over the bitterest and
most inveterate prejudices of the age. It is
TO have won by fidelity, by energy, and by
unwearied labors, such victory that you
have absolutely compelled every party In the
land to indorse and ratify what you have ac-
complished, and that no national convention
Of any party, or any wing Of any party, has
dared In this year of grace to take Issue
with you and the great principles you have
finally embodied In our National Constitu-
tion.
We live too near to these brilliant achieve
ments for humanity, for justice, for liberty,
and equal rights to realize their full grand
eur. Posterity will appreciate your work
even more than the workers can themselves
| to-day. And, when the United States of
| 1872 Is contrasted with the United States of
| 1862, the impartial historian will declare that
no party in any land, in any age of the
world, has ever conferred such immeasurable
blessings on their country, or achieved so
noble work for humanity, as the ever
faithful and evermaligned Republican party
of this decade. Such is your record; and
rejoice that, as your Representative, l was
| enabled, with your constant support, and
with your confidence that no calumny could
ever shake, to aid in its copsummation. Let
us value that record as of more worth to us
and our children than silver and gold. Let
us not dim it by wearying in well doing. Let
us honor it by continued fidelity to the or
| ganization through which these blessings
have been secured. And, congratulating you
on the auspicious signs Of the times, let us
rejoice that the victory you hope to win will
| be, like those we have won together in the
past, even more for the prosperity, the hon
| or, the true glory, and the advancement oi
the country we love, than merely for the
party whose membership we have alway:
been proud to acknowledge, and over whose
successes we have so often rejoiced.

Speech by vice.president COlfax.
