The Republican Convention of
Maine, says the New York World
denounced the credits MobiIier,
carpet baggers,G Grants Louisiana
usurpation, AMI the Congression-
al salary steal This looks very
much like repudiating the Re-
publican party, for these are the
leading principles of that party
as exempli6ed by practice in Con-
gress and by the head OF the Ad-
M .nistratlou. While this is the
result in Maine, General Butler
proposes to stand by the party
and the President of its choice,
by raining for Governor in Mas
sachusetts as the advocate and
defender of all those questions
From this we are to infer that
the Republican party has one set
of principles in Maine and anoth-
er in Massach usetts. Butler in
his course has at least one merit,
and that is, declining to play the
role OF a hypocrite.

LEwIsBURG, July Z, 1873.
Lewisbnrg was awakened this
morning by the booming of can
non,by Capt. Dave Kumler,& Co.,
which was kept up dur ng the
entire day, interspersed by show
ers of rain. Had it not been for
this, we would scarcely have
known that this was the glorious
fourth, the eventful day of our
National independence, a day
the recollection of which should
send a thrill of joy to the heart
OF every American Patriot, and
should never sink into oblivion
during the vista OF time. Some
of our citizens went to the Sol
dier's Home at Dayton, to enjoy
the National anniversary there.
The latest sensation at Lewisburg
is caused by tie Modoce, Capt.
Jack, and six of his confederates
are taking up~their rendezvous
at the Eagle Hotel. They have
become reconciled AMI somewhat
domesticated, nevertheless they
frequently relapse into savage
state, and give full vent to their
savage yells, and war whoop, so
congenial to the race Occasion
ally they proceed on a scout and
on the warpath, yet they are un-
der the entire control of their
famous leader, Capt. Jack. To
satisfy the public curiosity, call
at the Schneider House, and
should you fail to e the actual
living Modocs, You a see a fac
Simate suspended in the sitting
room. The farmers are CONS
planning of too much rain.

Very grave rumors affecting
the character of Rev. s. McBur-
ney, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Mansfield
City, o., have been in circulation
for the past few days. In conse-
quence the doors of the church
were closed on Sabbath last, and
the Presiding Elder is expected
soon to investigate the matter
The rumors assert indiscretions
on the part of the reverend gen
tlemau with female members of
his congregation.
The above in substance is found
in all sections of the country,
among our Clergymen, who were
in instrumental in bringing about
the denomination and election of
Grant aud Wilson. The one a
common drunkard and horse ra-
Ger, the other a low demagogue
and hypoerite. Hence, the de-
pravity to be found on all hands
in our land, promulgated by
Harlon, Newman, Colfax and
Wilson, and from them handed
down to the McBurney's, &c, &c.
Well it Is, that the moral people
of the country, are becoming
alarmed both for religion, poll
tics and temperance.

State .gpp0rtdOmsssen

In the Columbus Journals re-
port of the proceedings of the
Constitutional Convention, we
see that the committee Of whom
was referred the difficult task of
perfe citing a system of apportion-
ment and representation, are ma
king satisfactory progress in this
work. The committee consists
of twenty members, one from
each congressional district, with
Doctor Dorsey, of Mama, as
chairman. The committee have
taken up article XI of the pres,
ent constitutions and discussed it
section by section in daily meet
ings. 1t is understood that the
majority of the committee have
agreed upon the following modi-
f%cations of that article:
The first section is so changed
as to provide that the ratio for
representatives shall be the QUO
tient OF the whole population of
the State divided by one hundred
and five instead of one hundred
as at present.
The second section is also
modified so as to provide abso-
lutely that every county shall
have one representative, leaving
out Of the section as it now stands
the words, ''having a population
equal to one half of said ratio."--
1t Is also provided that every
county containing the required
ratio and one-haif over, Instead
of three forrths as now, shall be
entitled to two representatives.
The residue of the section re-
mains as at present. The third,
fourth and fifth sections of the
article relating to what are pop
ula"ly known as "foats,' are
struck out.
The Senatorial ratio will, it is
thought, be fixed at the quotient
arising from dividing the whole
population of the State by thirty
five, as provided in the present
constitution.
The committee has at present
under consideration the perplex-
ing problem of a division of the
State into proper senatorial dis
tricts. 1t is probable that no
material change will be made in
this respect, but that the present
districts may be substantially re-
tained.-Dayton Herald.

E2ssSga'UNES' Home.
BY PROF. ]. D. BUTLER.

H1NSOAN
Nebraskians talk about the
Emigrants' Home at the Bur
lington and Missouri River Rail
road station, in Lincoln, as a new
thing under the sun. Yet Solo
mon vas right in saying there is
no such new thing. Analogous
establishments abound abroad,
and may be traced back a thous-
and years.
In Hamburger, travelling work
men live in lodging houses,called
"Her6ergen,n or harborages, be,
longing to their various trades
and are furnished with the loan
OF such tools as they need. But
they pay the cost of whatever is
furnished them; wilhelm Lincoln,
shelter and lodging room are free
answering to the Negroes defni-
ton of grace, as something for
nothing
Heterogeneous Industrial car
avansaries, each serving as a
house of call or labor mart-still
survive in Prussia also. But the
best counterparts of the N ebras-
ko Emigrants' home are in Swift
zerlaEd. At Olton, Stanz, Berne,
and throughout the canton of
Neuchatel, itinerant workmen
find beds or other accommodate
tons, free Of charge.
Moreover, the "Hospices" scat
tered over the passes of theAlps,
open their doors and tables to all
corners. The writer has himself
been entertained in more than
one of them, on the St. Demands
Great and Litsle), St. Gothard.
&c. No payment is expected
from the poor, but other people
are led carefully to the contribu,
ton box in the chapel.
All the European homes OF
hospitality deserve the highest
praise. The difference between
them and that in Lincoln is this
that they all send forth their
guests to toll on the same low
level as before, while the Lincoln
house is a stepping-stone to a
higher plane. 1t was, last year
a refuge for hundreds of new
immigrants till they could com
mand higher wages than they
had ever earned and for hundreds
more till they secured home
steads, which raised them into
the rank of landlords and lords
of the land. The Alpine estab
lishments are obsolescent and
ready to vanish away, as having
outlived their usefulness, tina
beyond the Missouri is still in it,
cradle, but is yearly doubling it,

All of them are as suns tt

spite of astronomy. the grand
sun is setting in the East and ri.
sing in the West.

There need be no jealousy be-
tween the farmers, who are en-
deavoring to protect themselves
against the corruption of the
times and the dwellers in cities,
who are laboring to the same end.
W. consider it therefore, the du-
ty of Trades Unions and organized
societies of laborers to cooperate
with the farmers in their labor
for the good of the country.

Aeep Up The Agit@stom.

nant thunder which this fragrant
and scandalous abuse of trust has
called forth, should still rever-
berate throughout the land, and
unpleasantly Jingle the ears of
the greedy sharks who are vain
ly waiting tor the storm to flow
over, that they may quietly peck
ct their share of the "swag."-
While official rcguery is tie rule
of late, y%etsuch palpabie thievery
organized and secured by Con-
gressional enactment aud digni-
fed by Executive sanction, is
such an aggravated anomaly of
national plundering, that it can.
not be easily banished from the
public mind. And as Newspaper
patrons r row called upon TO
undergo the disagreeable nov
city of paying postage upon all
papers taken by them, wherever
published, while the gentlemen
who obliged them to do it are
luxuriating off the peoples mon
ey, the storm will not be likely
to abate, but gather force in
stead.
We tell all those gentlemen
who are hoping for some fresh
exposition of v~illainy to dwarf
the last one and obllterate it
from the public memory, to lay
not that fattering JUNCTION to
their souls. While we anticipate
every sort of rascality in this dis
tempered age, it is nevertheless
intended, no matter how fast off
fetal crime accumulates, TO hold
this up as the capsheaf,and every
treasury-leech who draws the ex
ira pay, Indirectly or otherwise,
shall be constantly pricked with
the barbed arrows of a free press,
nor shall he enjoy his ill-gotten
gains In peace. It was avarice
and not actual need that prompt
ed this shameful steal; poor men
do not go to Congress in these
money-loving days, and a Cons
gressional certificate is proof
enough that the holder thereof
is sufficiently blessed with lucre.
This is the rule, and the excep-
tons r few.
That which is particularly ex-
a%sperating about this back pay
gouge is the supreme contempt
which Congress appeared to have
entertained for the opinions of
the people. They just reversed
positions, and made themselves
masters, whereas it has hereto
fore been the order for their con
stituency to regard them as SER
wants. Had this Congress been
endowed with the sagacity Of an
average town committeeman, 1t
might have foreseen the tempest
which the postal law and extra
pay combined would create. But
instead, it ignored the people
quite completely, and evidently
looked upon US as a nation of
ninny-heads, who would regard
as excellent law all acts which
received the Presidential sigma
ture. 1t is safe and reasonable to
conclude, if the present temper
continue, that every man who
accepts this increase goes to his
political grave. Have a care,
gentlemen, the eyes of a wrath
full press and people are upon
you, and if they "but catch you
once upon the hip, they'll feed
fat the ancient grudge they bear
you"

Hints TO THOSE VINO Go To BANKS.
-"First, learn what the banking hours
are, and knowing them, transact your
business within those hours. DO not
expect TO he accommodated ''becauso

bank having no established business
hours, you will find to be one that fail,
TO give satisfaction such rs pleases tho
public. The bank which favors you by
transaction of business outside of rcgn-
lar hours, will offend him because Of
the failure to extend like treatment.
Before making a deposit, count your
money, and lay your bills one way,right
side up If you have checks or drafts
to deposit, list them separately on the
deposit ticket, and then make total
footing. Should you be stranger to
the bank, and desire check or draft

order, have some responsible accompa-
nying friend, known 10 the bank, TO iden-
lify and vouch for you; do likewise,
should your check be for considerable
amount and drawn payable 10 bearer.

"BLESSED DREAMS"

The sunset smile has left the sky,
The moon rose calm and fair,
AS low maiden knelt
To breathe her nightly prayer,
And thus her brief petition rose,
In simple words and few;
"Dear Lord, please send US blessed
dreams
And let them all come true !!
O, l have stood in temples grand,
Where, in the rainbow gloom,
Rose pompous prayers from priestlylips
Through clouds of dense perfume,
But never one has seemed to me
So guileless, pure aud new
"Dear Lord, please send lis blessed
dreams
And let them all come true y
All, little maiden, kneeling there,
Beneath the sunset skies,
What need have we of other prayer
Than yours, so sweet and wise
Henceforth | breathe no studied plea,
But bow and pray with you
''Dear Lord, please send us blessed
dreams
And let them all come true !!

SIX BOYS LOST IN CAVE.

Some days ago, six adventurous boys
undertook to explore cave near Han
nlhal, Missouri. They entered during
the day, and early in the evening, it be-
came known that they were lost. In
the fore part of the evening several par
ties went into the cave in search of the
missing boys, but their efforts were un-
availmg, and at II o'clock they came
out. Between IL and - o'clock anoth-
er party of five was organized for the
next effort, composed of the following
named persons Charles Mcdaniel,
Lafayette Robinson, Jim Turner, Tom
Ford and Everett Mcdaniel They en-
tered aud followed up the twine, six
balls of which had been used in tracing
the windingS of the cave. Here they
discovered the tracks OF the boys, who
had crawled through very small GREY
ice. Charles Mcdaniel here took the
lead, and after crawling some distance
through lift just large enough to ad-
nit his body. he called, when from the
dark. unknown depths beyond,hc heard
n faint response, which he says sounded
like the squeak of mouse.
He crSkled ON still further and called
again, wsen 4 near and louder response
greeted Km again. He crawled for
ward, lighting up the darkness with
bulls eye lantern, which he bad in his
hand when he heard voice exclalm:
20, see n light = Soon he caught
sirht of the little fellows all huddled
together in al opening between two
vast rocks, one under them and one u
bove, leaving barely room for them To
lie stretched ont, but too low To allow
them to stand on their hands aud knees;
while in width, in mos; places, it was
barely sufficient TO admit OF the passage
OF one IT time.
As he came near them the boys caught
sight of his face, and Dana Mcdaniel
exclaimed, 80 thank God there is my
brother" and the little fellows shed
tears of Joy at their deliverance from
their long and painful immurement.
They were completely exhausted, and
when the welcome voice came TO their
ears through the awful darkness, the
little fellows were looking for an open
space where they could lie downt togeth-
or and sleep. 1t was five minutes past
midnight when they were discovered,
and at ten minutes before | o'clock La
tayette Robinson emerged from the
cave. leading the way, and announced
that the boys had been found, and wer,
all safe and soud on their way out.
The whole party soon emerged from
the cave. and the shouts of JOY that
greeted the reScuers and rescued were
so hearty and loud that they were head
in nearly all parts of the city, and rang
out on the Midnight air rs though
great victory had been won. Fathers
and mothers clasped their children to
their hearts, while tears of JOY and graf
itude rolled down their checks.
