Mcssrs. Johnson & Goodell, gentle.

rate the manufacture of Hemlock Elk

The Saginaw Courier, speaking Of
Their advantages and facilities, in the

portation, having completed the sale
Of a license TO manufacture to VIM.
Patrick u Co, tanners, of Midland.
The manufacture of concentrated ex-
tract is destined to become most ex-
tended and profitable branch of our
local industry. Our forests abound in
hemlock, which has hitherto possessed
10 particular commercial value, but
under the patents held by Messrs
Johnson s. Gocdell, it is destined to
occupy position second to that held

Catching at StraWs.

The Radical party never appeared III such n
desperate condition. Its leaders are beset with
difficulties on every hand, and like drowning
men, catch at s'raws that hoat upon the surface
oi the political waters, hoping that something
may turn up that will relieve them from the
dreaded defeat that is sure to overtake the party
IN November.
The loss OF Greeley and the Tribune 40 soon
after the desertion OF Schurz Trumbu Gratz
Brown and other influential men, is a stunning
blow. and one from which they cannot recover
inasuuch as they and feel the fact that vast
numbers OF their rank and file IN sympathy
with the Liberals.
10 make some show of recovering the Radicals
pretend to have received great comfort and en-
couragement from the speech Of Mr.. Voorhees,. IN
the L. s. House OF Representatives. But they
can get but poor encouragement from that effort.
wnen it Is remembered that Mr Voorhees, closed
his remarks by replying to an inquiry whether he
would support Greeley II nominated at Balh-
more, that he, Voorhees,. was not in the habit Of
bolting nominations 1t is said that thousands i
copiss of this speech have been ordered for cir-
rnlaton by the Radicals. The effect Of such ac-
tion cannot be otherwise than injurious to the
Radical faction 1t will prove another wedg. to
open wider ;he split that has rent their ranks and
will tend 10 bind closer thu legons of Democracy
that are preparing for the great contest in every
section OF this vast country, bound to achieve n
victory that viii restore to the people an econo-
micnl government and the rights and franchises
of which they have been dispossessed in many

ance Of Constitutional and State enactments by
