but little strength to work it.. 1t secures the
benefit of using BOILING HOT suds, all the
steam is shut in, and the hands never need
touch the water. 1t does not rub the clothes
nor will ii injure them in the slightest parti-

If General Grant can see aught be-
yond the haze of his incessant cigar
and can hear anything more honest
than the Whisperings of his evil couR-
sellors he viii have seen and heard
enough to know that the public peace
is seriously threatened in the unhap-
py State of Louisiana. A wholesale
usurpation of authority, by which
Kellogg, the defeated candidate for
Governor, and a Legislature of his
stripe have been shamelessly Installed
in the seats which even a Republican
committee of the United States Sem
ate did not deny belonged to Govern
or McEnery and majority of fusion
members of the Legislature, who were
legally elected by the people on the
4th of November last, has had its nat
ural result in arraying the Wronged
and outraged white people of the
State against the usurper and the
fraudulent officials whom he is send
ing among them to continue his lease
OF power by collecting taxes where
with to maintain himself and his adj
ministfation or to carry out his pur-
poses through the courts of Justice.
Convulsion follows eonvulsion; ig-
norant negroes, instigated to riot and
disorder by white carpet-baggers and
the more intelligent and vicious of
their own race, defy the law, threaten
tine lives of the white citizens, and
make havoc, as in Grant county; and
the dark conspiracy against the lives
of the white people of three or four
parishes which they had plotted
in secret, is checked only by a SAN
culinary suppression of the riot at
Colfax, on Easter Sunday by the Sher-
if of the county whom Kellogg had
himself commissioned. The attempt
to install illegal officials in the parish
of st. Martin leads to more warfare,
until the Federal troops appear and
the men who are arrayed against the
usurping Government of Kellogg dis
band and retire to their homes, as
they have no desire to seem to resist
the authority of the United States.
And now, in the parishes of Avoyelles
Rapides, and NachitOches, United
States marshals, backed by Grants
soldiers, are preparing to arrest such
citizens of Sheriff Nash month ago,
served in the posse which dispersed
the riotous assemblage of armed ne
groes who intrenched themselves in
the Courthouse of Colfax. Brought
before grand Jury organized to con-.
Yict, these men know that the Albany
Penitentiary will be their portion.
They therefore announce their deter
minatlon TO resist-not the United
States, but the usurping government
of Kellogg.
Grant in Washington must know
these facts and all the facts, both in
law and humanity, of the true cause
of these troubles in Louisiana. He
can stay probable bloodshed by with
drawing his support from Kellogg
and his aecomplices. If he will not
do this, the American people can but
hold him personally responsible for
what may follow World.

The New York Sun, an original
supporter of the present Administra-
ton, on its first accession to power,
finds in the departure of President
Grant for Long Branch an occasion
for some outspoken and. trenchant
criticism. The notice given by the
President at the last Cabinet meeting
that he intended going Immediately
to Long Branch for the summer, and
that he might occasionally visit the
capital ifan important matter required
his presence, is regarded as suspen-
sion of the great public business, out
side of ordinary routine, for four or
five months, and a practical transfer
of the functions of the government to
subordinates. The President deserts
his post. and that is the signaI for
mcnIbors Of the Cabinet, assistant
secretaries, heads of bureaus, chief
clerks and others to follow in his
footsteps. He cannot rebuke them
without reproachiDg himself. It nec-
essarily follows that all important
subjects must be adjourned until the
administration is collected together
before the meeting of Congress, and
that others of less magnitude are COM
mitted to the hands of interiors with
out responsibility. With such temp
tations before them, it is not surprfs-
ing that rings are formed in the De-
partments, that collision with out
siders is common, and Yenality is re-
duced to system. 1t is all directly
traceable to the Presidents want of
moral sense, culpable neglect of duty,
unfitness for great civil employment,
distaste for study and business, and a
morbid appetite which is daily con-
quering his power of resistance, and
destroying whatever of usefulness he
may have once had.

ADAIR COUNTY, Iowa, June II, '73.
ED. Dem. Press Perhaps few
lines descriptive of this beautiful sec
ton may prove interesting to some of
your numerous readers who eontem-
plate bettering theft circumstances by
an exodus. To all such wishing
homes and farms 1 would say, no bet
ter place could be chosen than Adair
county. Our broad prairies offer to
any one wealth of bountiful harvests,
if they will only develop their latent
resources. We have a healthy climate,
good water, and fine rolling land. In
the dryest season as well as the wet
test our land has never failed to bring
forth a good remuneration for the la
Dor bestowed. Indeed, it would be a
hard matter to find a section of eoun-
try in which the crops are affected so
Titled by the extremes of unusual
seasons as this; or to fined one in
which there are more of the desirable
points, and SO few of the undesirable
in soil, timber, water, pasturage cli-
mate, sc. But its greatest wealth,
fullest resources, and fairest beauty,
win not be developed until its prai-
ries are more dsnsely populated, its
rich soil is more extensively cultiYat-
ed, its winds retarded and its land
scape beautifed by stately trees, and
its broad expansc dotted with more
dwellings and barns. To all who
wish a new and good country we
would advise settlement in Adair.-
Many have already improved rich and
productive farms on its ample prai-
ries, and there is left room for many
more. But the desire to eat of the fat
of the land will be realized by those
only who put their hands to the plow
and turn not back, and to all such
success and competency are certain.
Those who come here must expect to
be deprived of some of the adVan-
tages of older states for few years,
while they are making for themselves
what many will never be able to make
there-a good home and plenty for
old age.
Wheat, oats, corn, potatoes, and -ev-
cry other of our products promise an
abundant yield the coming harvest
Almost every farmer has q large sur
plus of old corn on hands that the
present exorbitant railroad freights
prevent getting into market at any
thing like remuneratiYe figures. Our
greatest need is railroad through the
center of our county, to compete with
the already existing lines through the
north and near the south line of it.
A number of well qualified teach
ers-thoso who take 3 pride in the
profession-could find constant en-
ployment here. But don't send us
any that you would be willing to
spare. Neither is it desirable to send
any Credit MobilieTs this way. 2
Our County Treasurer and County
Clerk have both been undergoing an
''inYestigation )" and, contrary to gem
eral custom, both have been indicted
by the Grand Jury and suits instituted
against them, thanks to the Grangers.
But may be trespassing on your
time and patience. .o.-a.L

The friends of General Garfield in
this locality are making desperate
effort to bolster him up, whfteWash-
ing his coIraptions, and keep him
prominently before the people; and
for that purpose they have gotten up
grand celebration on the coming
Fourth, at which he is to "Whoop up
the American Eagle" as orator of the
day. 1t is gotten up ostensibly as an
"old fashioned, no party" affair; but
it is most transparent fraud, design
ed to induce Democrats and such Re-
pubIicans as don't believe in the inn
maculate purity of their pet into do
ing him service by holding him up
before the people as one in whom
his fellow-citizens of this county have
undiminished confidence. This so
called ':no party celebration" from its
inception to the presenttime, has been
under the exclusive management and
control of a few of GarfieId's Radi-
cal friends. They have held their
meetings, appointed their committees
and fixed up the entire programme
without consulting the Democrats, or
even any considerable portion of the
Republicans. No meeting of citizens
has been advertised or held; but
few Wire-Working Radicals have man
aged the whole thing. That the affair
should not look too bare-faced, they
placed few Democrats in subordi-
nate positions, without consulting
them, but no sooner did they learn
the manner IN which the thing orig
mated and was managed, than they
most respectfully declined to become
cats-paws to rake the Radical chest
nuts from the embers. By conceal
ing their programme, they succeeded
in inducing some few Democrats to
aid in running their show, by con-
contributing money, but no sooner
were thefacts known, than that little
game was blocked.
If we were to have in reality
non-partisan, old-fashioned cele-
bration, in fairness and justice, the
people should have been consulted a
meeting of citizens without regard to
party should have been called and the
arrangements then and there made
But no, had that been done, some
other man than he who permitted his
cupidity to overreach his patriotism
and honesty, might have been chosen
to do the ornamental work on that
occasion, and thus the object of these
ring managers would not have been
accomplished. Let no Democrat or
Liberal Republican be deceived by
this transparent fraud.

THE Albany Argus comments with
natural Indignation upon the ostenta-
tious display made by the arrival of
the Presidents household at Long
Branch, when eight furniture wagons
transported the luggage from the rail-
road station to the house, followed by
five carriages and nine or ten horses,
for pleasure taking. Such magnifi-
cence,i the 4Tgus says, accounts for
the Presidents signature Of the sala-
ry grab bill; but our contemporary
tails to notice the fact that many Of
the articles thus brought to Long
Branch were not the Presidents prop
erty, but belonged to the nation, and
were removed from the White House
and its surroundings without due re-
gard to the rights Of the real owner.

On Wednesday of last week Miss
Susan B. Anthony was convicted in
the United States Court of New Y ork
for voting in violation of law, the
Court holding that neither the four
teenth nor the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
conferred the right of suffrage on we-
mon or prohibited any restriction of
the right of voting on account of sex,
and under the direction of the Court
verdict of guilty was returned by
the jury. Afterwards the Court SEN
fenced the defendant to pay a fine of
one hundred dollars and the costs of
prosecution. Mis- Anthony believed
that the Constitutional amendments
conferred the right to vote and before
the Court claimed that SO believing
her voting was not q criminal act, but
the Court oVerruled the plea, claim
ing that she was woman and could
not plead ignorance of the law as q
justification. But did not the
judges of election who received her
vote know the fact, and with full
knowledge of it deposit her vote in
in the box? And yet, we would ask,
are they to be held guiltless The wo-
men will soon begin to understand
the hypocrisy of the Radicals who
promise in their platforms to consider
their claims to the elective franchise

After dividing a million and q half
of shameless plumber between the two
VI ings of Congress, the beneficiaries
then opened the Treasury to every
officer and underling, having first
taken care to augment the pay enOr-
mously. When it is remembered that
these employees do not average more
than four months and q half OF work
during the year, the extent and nature
of the robbery will be more fully re-
allied. Except the back-pay steal, to
which this is a fitting pendant, moth
ing so barefaced and fragrant in the
way of such legislation has ever be-
fore been ventured. 1t was quite
worthy to crown the career OF the
Credit Mobilier Congress, over which

Dairy Products.


AT he-recent meeting of the New
York Butter and Cheese Exchange,
it was stated that there are received
ANNUALLY on the piers of the Hudson
river over 100000 packages of butter
and 1 1,S00. 900 packages of cheese. The
traffic in butter is nearly double the
amount of that in cheese; in that re-
spect butter is one of the leading arti-
cIes Of produce received in the market
in quantity and aggregate value, and
by far the most important of that class
of produce not sold by sample, but at
actual inspection. The estimates OF
receipts at New York sre:. Butter
above $30,O00000; cheese, over $I5.-
100000, or nearly $5OO00.00O of dairy
products; cut meats, $12, 900, 900; lard
$S, S,5O0,oO0; wheat, $4,000, 900: corn,
$26, 100000; -four, $l0000,000; petro-
leurn, $l0,0O0,O00. The butter and
cheese produce merchants receive in
dairy produce and other smaller, pro-
duce, it is estimated, 100000, 900 /;
provisions of the same class as re-
spects carrying, distribution and ex-
change, are confined to the same cham
nels. Breadstuffs and other sample

From the New York SUM-
More About thS Salary.

While it is hardly possible to criti-
else or condemn too severely the in
famous legislation by which Congress
plundered the treasury for pack pay,
and the President doubled his salary,
Kindred outrages in the same bill must
not be allowed to escape in silence
They serve to expose more fully the
enormity of the offence which was
perpetrated at the closing hours of
the late session, by q conspiracy of
corrupt influences representing every
branch of the Government. All the
great salaries in the offices of Con-
gress and the departments, which had
been gradually growing for years
past, were raised without pretext of
justification, for they were already
exorbitant in view of the service rem
dered.
1t became understood that the Pres
ident would not sign a bill by which
Congress was to be benefited, unless
his Office should be included. And,
on the other hand, his influence was
needed to brace up weak members
who had strong instinct of the storm
of Indignation which would be raised
through the country. So the leaders,
the President, the Cabinet, and few
others combined together and fixed
the increase to be distributed among
themselves. Then the order was
given. the line formed, and the oppo-
sitiOn conquered. 1t was q victory
over the people by the Republican
party, prostituted to venal purpose.
The figures are instructive, and de-
serve to be kept constantly in view
A comparison of the rates of salary
between the 30th of June, when the
fiscal year will expire, and the lst of
July, exhibits the audacity of the spo-
liation. Take the most prominent ex-
amples furnished by the act making
appropriations for the executive, leg
islatiYe and judicial expenses of the
the government, dated March 3, 1873.
