Mr. Hughes and che White Vote.

There stand the negroes in solid array against
the whites, threatening them with all the hor-
rors that have characterized negro rule 10 South
Carolina and Louisiana Can it be possible
that on election day Mr. Hughes will lie able to
drum up as many as five hundred Virginia
whites to ally themselves with his negro and
carpet-bag cohorts? Where will as many as
five hundred, even, come from? He will need
fifty thousand, by his own showing, Every body
who is not idiotcof crazy knows that be stands
no more chance OF getting fifty thousand white
votes than he does Of getting the whole white
vote. Hence we would say to the few white
Virginians who may possibly think of voting
for him that if they do SO they will lose every
thing and gain nothing. They will have sepa-
rated themselves from their race and placed
gulf between themselves and ther kith and kin,
only to Incur certain defeat at the elestion.-

LANCASTER, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JUNE 49, 1873

year after spending one season on
the Pacific coast, is problem | am
utterly unable to solve.
During the summer the days are
warm and pleasant but not hot and
sultry, while the nights are cool
enough to render sleeping a luxury.
This winter the coolest weather in
dicated by the thermometer was 26o
above zero, while it is no common
occurrence for the mercury to turn
up to Coz and 650. The farmers
have been blowing here all winter,
and stock looks very well that have
had no other feed than what they
could obtain outside. 1t is true we
have considerable rain during the
winter, bat | do not think it has
rained more than one third of the
time since December LIST while
the rest of the time has been bright
sunshiny weather, and as the soil
here is much heavier than it is there,
and not subject to the action of
frost, it does not get as muddy as
might be supposed.
would say that as | am not an
emigration agent, it is not my BUSH
ness to overdraw picture of this
state, and l do not wish to induce
any one to give up q good
business there for an uncertainty
here. But | know there are many
among you who are dissatisfied with
the climate and contemplate emigra-
ton, who l think would do we'll to
favorably consider the reports from
Oregon. There is want Of enter
prising men here, there is a great
plenty of dead heads, here now but
to man who is not above engaging
In any honorable employment that
may be offered | think Oregon
presents inducements not to be found
in any state or territory east of the
rocky mountains. In connection
with myself | will only say that |
have had charge Of an Academy at
this place for the last six months,
and have no just cause of complaint
as to my success, and that | want
no more Wisconsin winters IN mine.
Ii any of the good people of Grant
county wish any further information
of this coast L should be happy to
answer any communications that
may be addressed to me at this
place giving them all the informa-
ton in my power. Truly Yours,

steam is up, it performs its task
with the promptness and precision
of machine. AS Pope says: ,
True ease in writing comes from art not chance.
As they move easiest who have learned TO dance.
Shenstone has finely said that fine
writing is the result of spontaneous
thoughts and labored composition.
If we Took at the first draughts of
the great works that have immortal
lied their authors, we shall find that
they are often comparatively slight
and imperfect, like the rude chalk
ing for a mastery picture. Ten
long years elapsed between the first
sketch of Goldsmith's TraUeler and
it's final completion. Twenty lines
in day he thought brilliant feat,
and Bishop Percy tells us that not
line in all his poems stands as he
fret wrote it. Young, ridiculing
hasty composition, counsels authors
to "write and re-writo, blot out, and
write again." adding,
Time only can mature the labring brain,
Time is the father, and the midwife pain;
The same good sense that makes a man excel,
Still makes him doubt he ne'er has written well.
Downright impossibilities they seek
What man can be immortal in week.

Burns was another hard worker
of tho brain: Easily as his verse
seems to have dropped from his pen,
it was really the product of much
toll. He was fastidious to fault
in perfecting his phrase and rhythm.
"Easy composition, but laborous cor
rection," is his own characterization
of his mode of writing. Even the
poet Moore, whose verse is so SIN
gularly mellifuous, liquid, and facile
has remarked that labor is the par
ent of all the lasting wonders Of the
world, whether in verse or stone,
whether poetry or pyramids" OF
Shelley, Medwin, his biographer, tells
US that he practsed the sevorest
self-criticism, and that his manu-
scripts, like those Of Tasso at Forra-
ra, were so full of blots and interde~
lineations as to be scarcely decipher.

The Franking Privilege.

An estimate made by prominent
officer here of the cost of abolishing
the franking privilege on the 1st OF
next month, demonstrates the fact
that between 100000 and $1,000
600 will be expended in supplying
Federal officers with scales on which
to weigh their mail matter, and for
printing circulars OF instruction, and
engraving and forwarding postage
stamps, ETC., to offices at distant
points. 1t is calculated that at most
the abuse of the ranking privilege
involved an expenditure by the Gov
eminent of not exceeding $300,O 900
per year, and that, after supplying
the wants of the various Federal de-.
partments and such individuals as
may be entitled to postage stamps
at Government expense, it will be
found that there will be no saving to
the Government by the abolition OF
the privilege. But on the other
hand, it is said, there will be loss
the first year of from 100000 to
100000. Great stress will be laid
upon the above recital at the next
session of Congress, when an effort
to revive the ranking privilege is to
be made.

Brindly in few fitting words We
have often seen the spade used but
we never remember an occasion
when quite SO many ofthe workmen,

that of presenting class mementoes

came the class song, the whole SEN
Tor class assembled on the college
steps and joined in the chorus of the
"Class Farewell Song" composed by
e. w. Hulse. Here boys that never
knew they could sing, themselves,
and no one else knew it joined in
the chorus with will that showed
tho boys were in earnest. Thus clos.

beautiful programme and we'll exec

The Last Expunger.

To the People of jackson County:
Editors, L understand, are supposed to
know everything, therefore, ask: Why
is William Allen, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of Ohio, called the last
of the expunging Senators. can under
stand why he is called the Chinese
Gong" and "Long-Armed Bill Allen"
but why he is called "The last'of the
Expungers," 1 am unable to compre-
hend
What was and is generally known as
the "Expunging Resolution" was intro
duced and engineered through the U.
S. Senate by the Hon. Thomas Benton, of
Missouri, for the purpose of blotting out
a resolution passed by the Senate on the
2Sth of March, 1884, -condemning Presi-
dent Jackson, for the removal of Duane,
and the appointment of Roger B. Taney,
Secretary of the Treasury, and the re-
moval of the U. S. Bank deposits l am
credibly informed that at the time that
the "Expunging resolution was passed
and carried into execution by the Senate,
Thomas Ewing and Thomas Morris were
Senators from Ohio That resolution was
passed and executed on the 10th day of
March, 1887, so says the "Great Ex-
punger" that was, by that very much
abused President, placed at the head of
the table at the 'Great Expunging Din
ner,' given in honor of the event. Here
are the names of the Senators voting on
the Resolution.
Yeas-Benton, Brown, Buchanan, Da-
ma, Ewing of Illinois, Fulton, Grundy,
King of Ala. Linn, Morris, Nicholas,
Niles, Page, Rives, Robinson, Ruggles,
SEWER Strange, Tallmage, Upton, Walk
er, Wall and Wright-24.
Nays-Bayard, Black, Calhoun, Clay,
Crittenden, Davis, Ewing of Ohio, Hen
bricks, Kent, Knight, Moore, Prentiss,
Preston, Robbins, Southland, Swift, Tom
linson, Webster and White-I9.
1t will be seen that there were forty
three Senators present and voting aud
five absent. Where was William
Allen? Would like to know if he is en-
titled to the name of "The last of the
in connection with Farmer
Bill Allen"
If | am mistaken the Democrats can't
take exceptions, as the Great Expunger"
is my authority. j, l., JONES.
