The Outrageous Prosecutions of
Grants Contemplate satraps.

Addressing meeting of indignant
citizens of New York City, the night
of the 2Sth inst, Congressman JAMES
BROOKS offered to give bail for every
man who would kick DAvENPoRT's in
quisitive Marshals out Of his house
Even the Erentag Post has been sham
ed into protest against the impertinence
of DAvENPoRT's irresponsible subordin-
ates, yet DAVENPORT shows no signs Of
yielding. Interpreting the law in his
own way, and boasting that he is back
ed by President GRANT, he has begun
his arrests of foreign citizens who have
registered despite his espionage.
All such scoundrelism is directed by
GRANTS Administration to reduce Mr..
GREELEYs vote and majority in the city.

School Examiners.

Mr. EDITOR: / had hoped that would
not be called into any newspaper con-,
troversy relative TO the recent election.
I could have afforded, much better than
some others, to leave all matters con-
nccted Herewith with the past. can
truly say that, so far as my opponent
and his friends are concerned, | have
nothing to regret on account of anything
said by me prior to the election. By no
word or act Of mine did attempt to
Gispara9e Mr.. Castle in any way. He
and his friends could rest easier in their
consciences and sleep better, could they
say the same.
If have said anything harsh since
the election, it was called out by the un-
scrupulous conduct Of those who, for
purposes best known to themselves,
sought TO reduce my majority-for to
defeat me they never hal the ghost of a
chance, and if they thought so they are
greater blockheads than had supposed
1t is true ran behind the Democratic
ticket. Why l did so is known to all the
people of Monroe County, and l accept
it as proper rehuke. But it i'll becomes
members of the Republican party, and
especially the supporters of Grant,to use
the arguments they did against me; for
it is fact that the Grant party is now
we'll known as the whisky party Of this
country 1t was not from any special
merit or superior qualifications of Mr.
Castle that my majority was reduced. -
The fault was mine, and advantage was
taken Of it simply to wound and dis
grace me, if possible, and that, too,
without benelitting Mr.. Castle in the
least
The first name on the State ticket is
always taken as test of the strength of
political parties. Wiley's total vote in
this county, for Secretary of State, was
2,S77; Wikoff's, for the same Office, was
l,130, and the Prohibition vote SO. My
vote for Probate Judge, full term, was
1925, and Mr.. Castles 1905 AS a
matter of course Mr.. Castle received the
Prohibition vote. as he was the nominee
of that party, land it was the only nom-
ination he could get, as l understand,
and the SO votes should be deducted
from his total vote to show how many
Democratic votes he received.

Italy.

TURIN, October 2S-The damage
caused by the inunGation of the Pn, cs.
pecially in the Provinces VI Mantua
and Ferrara, are immense. Several
hundred kilometres of the most fertile
land in Italy is co, cred with water, AMI
whole towns and villages are submerged
Many houses have been undermined and
fallen. In some places the water reach
es the roofs of the highest buildings
Thousands OF people are homeless, and
others are flying from their dwellings,
which are threatened with destruction -
The towns Of Casal, Maggiore and Os-
tiglia, on the river Po, are in great dan
ger, and the inhabitants are panc-strick-
en-. The suffering is wide spread and
intense, but relief is goiug forward from
all parts of ltsfy.

we'd by the pablished accounts of the

Sprinkle your stable frequently and

Use chloride of lime very freely. But
double the usual quantity Of bedding
under your horses. There is no dan
ger of rubbing their limbs and loins
too much Every drop of water that
they drink should be pure and fresh
They can not have too much air, pro-
vided they are not exposed to draught
Let your horses rest if you can"
