From the Banks of RaccoOn.
EDTTeRs JOURNAL:

l see chat you publish items from Rio
the county, and although some of them
(the items, | mean,) may not be of inter-
est to the JOURNAL readers, yet the rails
ing of pumpkins and orn by some, the
selling of boots and shoes by a neigh
boring merchant, the packing of pork
by another, these all, are items that Will
interest some at least of the readers of
your excellent paper within the county.
The above being true, | will, by your
leave, offer two or three items from the
classic banks of Raecoon River, hoping
that the perusal of them may not be I'M
profitable to someof the readers of your
valuable paper.
First, then, | will say that the roads
all through this section of the country
are / in very bad condition, by reason of
the recent heavy rains, and the lower
road Is said TO be much the best when
you get down to it.
Our noble river is now on the rampage,
its banks in many places hidden from
view by the overlooking waters, and a
considerable amount of fodder will be
lost by negligent farmers. No such flood
remembered ut this season of the year
since 1917.
Business is brisk here, notwithstand-
ing the money panic, as | shall presently
show you. Why, sir, only a few days
since a couple of young blOods from a
neighboring~ township, visited one of the
villages of our noble stream, and, to
pass off the time, engaged in an inno-
cent game of euchre-wiTh one of our
most noted citizens. who, with the help
of an abundant supply Of apple-jack,
relieved one of the yong gentry OF
about seventy dollars, after which the
young blood left for home n sadder, but,
it is to he feared not Il much wiser man.
Such is life. SEMI-OCCASIONAL.

"h NAcrShSs
Well now, Maggie, who would have
thought such a sweet, pleasant looking
little lady as yourself, could be so spite
full. Why, such terrible gunpowder-like
explosions are fearful. Such blows, If
correctly aimed, might completely pros
trate, or even exterminate. Now L
meant no offence, and a simple quiet ex-
PLANTATION of your real meaning would
have set matters TO rights. But as no
bones are broken, and I've about reeov-
cred from the shock, I'll forgive yOu.-
But you were laboring under a mistake,
dear, in thinking | left the JOURNAL last
spring. spent the summer and fall IN
my little ssshady corner" You lave ell
Their failed to recognize me, or else over
looked me. VIII you please De a little
more careful in regard to the correctness
of your statements. Not for my sake,
but your own. 1t was also unfortunate
that you spoke so highly OF your own
abilities, and accused me of cOnceit with
the same breath. Some reader, less dull
than your offlcious friend, might disco
yer the weak point. Conceit and intru-
siyeness are, to say the least, not very
admirable qualities, and it Is sad TO have
both so largely developed as to be de-
sernable ut your distance, but notwith-
standing my faults, | an too magnani-
nous to have you impart so much infor-
nation gratuitously, and if the hat-col-
lection is sufficient to compensate you,
please accept it.
/ am glad you were not disposed TO
waste many words with me, and if you
had wasted none at all it would have
been quite as well, but l understand
malice to mean enmity, and there | have
only the best of feeling toward you. In
deed I've pitied you ever since you had
the measles last spring. And as pity is
close akin to love, / rather love yOu.-
But 1 do not persist in argument from
two reasons. The first and main n Is;
that I don't see any thing to argue about,
and in the second place, yon wouldn't
stick to the point. You say | misunder-
stood your meaning-put Il wrong con-
struetiOn. on it, &c. Well, all things
considered, dear, | guess We'll say your
meaning was clear enough, but | could
o see it, and there we'll let the matter
rest. JOICE.

Morgan Raid ffal

The following is copied from the
Washington specials to the Cincinnati
Gazette:
"Col. Enoch, agent of the State of
Ohio to collect the Morgan raid
claims, has presented a bill, bic
will be introduced to morrow, setting
forth in the preamble all the main
facts of this raid through twenty
nine counties of the State, and that
about four hundred thousand dollars
worth of property was destroyed by
the rebel forces, and about one hun
bred and fifty thousand by Union
troops. The bill provides for an ap-
preparation to cover both amounts.
less the sums already paid to indi-
vidual holders of claims by the Uni
ted States"
On the Sth, Mr. BUEDY, on leave,
introduced the bill, which was read
twice and referred to the Committee
on War Claims. 1T is stated that this
committee is in favor of recognizing
these claims.
Mr.. SHERMAN, in the Senate, has
also introduced a bill to amend the
act organizing the Court of Claims
30 as to allow the Union damages to
be paid by the proper Department
upon the evidence already on file in
that class of claims.
We greatly hope that relief to the
Morgan raid sufferers may come
from one or both OF these PROPOSE
tions.

EThe President, and his Secretary
of the Interior, recommend a census TO
be taken in 1875. Our nation will be
one hundred years old in 1876, and
we propose on that occasion a great
centennial celebration in Philadelphia
The Secretary thinks the results Of
that census could be published in sea
son for that occasion, and concludes
there is a peculiar fitness in thus ascer
tanning by official count orr numbers
and at the close of the first
century of the national life, and ex-
hibiting to the world, in this %conspicu-
GUS manner. the wonderful effects
wrought by the social, industrial, and
political freedom which the people of
the United States have enjoyed.
There is good reason for a census in
1875 in this view of the question. But
don't permit a censu every five years
to be made permanent. Take it in
1875. and then, for hat matter, we can
do without another until 1890.

Democrats and Back Pay.

DCh'toSAdtOS anu DtCk aye
The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial points a
moral 10 the following extract, which
tits well for the people to heed:
Do Democratic professions and res
oiutions and platforms and planks mean
anything? They have been making
capital out of the back pay infamy all
summer. charging that it was a re
publican measure, and have actually
carried several States by superior pro
f~essious of honesty and economy in
public expenditure, yet the very first
thing the Democratic Congressman
did when they assembled here was to
indorse the back pay grab by nomina-
ting a grabber for Speaker. They cast
their votes for Fernando Wood, and
away goes alftheir empty professions OF
indignation at Republican grabbing.
On the other hand, the Republicans
met in caucus Monday night, to the
number of one hundred and fifteen,
and appointed a COMMITTEES to draw a
bill repeating the back pay Law. and
putting the compensation at 5000.
with an allowance for travelling ex-
penses and postage. This viii un-
doubleday pass the House. although it
may possibly be smothered in the Sen
ate. But certainly at this time the
Republicans have shown far more anxi-
ETY. TO do the fair thing. and set them
selves right before the country. than the
Democrats.
