The Geneva Arbitration.

Caleb Gushing, who arrived on
Wednesday last, expresses himself
eminently satisfied with the award
of the Arbitration Board, not so
much for the money value of the
award, be says, as for the points set
tied. As to the English claims for
damages to property of British sub
jects connter-balancing Alabama
claims he says that such claims will
not reach 100000 Cushing did
not 60 to England, but in France,
where he was, the general opinion
seemed to be that the United States
had gained great victory. The
deliberations of the Judges were sec
ret simply because they did not want
to have their discussions, which
were of nature similar to those OF
any tribunal, broken into by any
body.

HON. J. ALLEN BARBER.
Dsn ocrars Reasons FOR Supporting Hon. ..
Allen Barber for COngress-Ho Is . Firm
Friend OF the Farmer ana Lsborer.
[From the Prairie du Chen Courier

From the Prairie du Chen Courier
We have received "Circular"
purporting to be correct record of
Hon. J. Allen BARRIERS votes in Con-
gress. We pronounce the circular
a fraud" in it's intent, and in fact.
We have the Congressional Globe
to prove our position. We know,
and are convinced that Mr.. Barber
did vote for lower tariff-he v0ted
for Free Tea, Coffee, and Salt, and a
reduction in the Tariff on r. r. iron.
We heard Mr., BARRIERS public ex-
PLANTATION of his position on the
question of Tariff-but we did not
let it rest there. Personally,
we went to Mr.. Barber, and he
emphaticalIy declared: That he was
in favor Tariff for Revenue, not for
the sake of Protecting eastern Cap
italists. We have also interview ed
Mr.. Warden; we know him well.
His recently developed radical "free-
trade" notions are impracticabc.
They sound nice to our democratic
ears, but the fundamental law of the
Constitution stands square in the
way of their fair, and practicable
application.
We know of Mr.. Warden as a
blatant renegade "War Democrat y
"Grant elector" 4 years ago; rad
ical aspirant for Congress in Re
publican Convention; and now a
disapointed-"sore-hea head" liberal
Greeley Candidate. We would pre-
fer TO vote for Democrat but as
that cannot be. we choose to do the
next best, and will support old j
ALLEN BARBER, ,ohO is believed to b.
honest, and kind hearted friend of The
farmer and ldbOrer.

South Carolina Gone Republican.

Secession, treason, and democracy
are dead in South Carolina. Under
the benefcient rule of Republicsnism
allowing all persons, black as well as
white, to exercise the right of suffer
age and free voice in the manages
ment of affairs, South Carolina to-day
votes with Pennsylvania and YER
mont and thelcyal states Of the North
in favor of the continuance in power
Of the Republican party. The elect-
ion for State officers, members of
Congress, Legislature, &C., took place
on Wednesday last. There was no
Democratic State ticket in the field,
the contest between the regular Re-
pubicans, whose ticket was headed
by f. J. Moses, for Governor, and
TIE boilers, whose ticket was headed
by r. Tomlinson. Returns show the
success Of the regular Republican
ticket by $4,000 to 10000 majority
The entire Republican Congressional al
delegation is elected, with the posi-
HE exception of Wallace, il the old
Fourth District, whose competitor
was Perry, Andy Johnson's Provis.
ional Governor. As far as heard
from, the election proceeded without
any disturbance. Several State off.
GERS and Congressman elect are COLI
ored. The Legislature has a Senat-
or to elect next winter, and it will
not probably return Mr.. Sawyer, as
he sided with the boilers. The State
will probably give Grant so, ma.
ority.

PARTIES MAKE MEN.-The New

from the October election results
which may be profitably studied y
distinguished politicians in all par

"NO matter how grand war Gov

gan, it is mainly as Governor and
Senator and organ of your party, and
not Of yourself, that you are really

There ID an encouraging prospect
that Major Henry Betz, the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress in the
fifth district, will receive a greater
number of votes than Eidridge, his
opponent. Mr.. Eldridge has been
elected five times from the Fond du
Lac district and it was supposed by
the Democrats that the people want.
ed him for sixth term. But there
is difference of opinion in the fifth
district and it is probable that Baetz
will be voted in.-JdneeviUe Gazette.
Hon. Allen Warden is Swinging
around the circle" and if our ex-
changes through the district are
truthful, and we have no doubt of it,
he is wasting his eloquence on very

seem to have the faculty of winning
others to the feast.-Monroe Repub-

sea- Congressman Barber and Ex-
Senator Hazelton have returned
from their speaking tour in Green
and Lafay cite counties. We Judge
from the published reports of their
speeches these gentlemen have been
doing glorious work for the Repub-
lican cause in those counties. The
Monroe Republican says of the speak
ers: "Mr. Barber deals in facts and
figures extensively, and his hearers
feel when listening to him, that he is
a man of mind and possessed of a
large stock of valuable information
regarding the interests of the people
and the country. Barber is all right,
and he will carry his district by an
increased majority. In Green coun-
~ we believe be will run ahead of
his ticket.
After Mr. Barber was through, Mr..
Hazelton spoke for about half an
hour, handling Greeley and Greeley
ism in a mastery manner Hazel.
ton is an orator; fluent and forcible.
The crowd enjoyed both speeches,
and Barber and HazeIton have both
left good impression on the minds
OF our Green county people"

now our FINANCES are Managed.

Secretary Boutwell, recently made
a speech to the business men of st.
Louis in which he said
"During these three years and half we
have collected, through the custom Houses of
the country, more than six hundred millions
OF dollars;and cannot recall case of single
dollar lost by any public officer or through
any public officer. There have been a few
cases of dishonesty on the part of custom
house officers, or their subordnates; but
believe in every instance the government has
been made whole, either by payment by the
officers themselves or their suretes; and that
the government. although il has collected
over 5000, 100000, is not a loser through q
public officer TO the amount of single dol
lar"
MIR. Boutwel's position as Secreta-
ry OF the Treasury renders him au-
thority on all financial questions.
And accepting bis statements as true
what becomes of efforts of our op,
ponents to show that the people
have been robbed by corrupt and
dishonest officials Nothing only
that all their charges were invented
to subserve the purpose of q hungry
horde of place hunters.
