PLAIN TALK.

The political battle in Massac husetts is
getting interesting. Butler has some
very bitter enemies, and he also has
many Jealous supporters. The Charles
town Chronicle, leading Republican
paper, is enthusiastic in its advocacy Of
Butler. 1t don't like the idea OF its fa-
vorite being made the scapegoat Of the
back-pay steal. Here is what it has to
'ay on that subject:
Ii any one man shall be stamped with
the infamy Of it (the salary. .grab), stamp
Grant then. If there is any one person
responsible above all others for that
measure, let those preachers of righteous.
ness shout aloud and spare not, Thou
art the man, Mr.. President" II some
one must be thrown to the pack, lei
President Grant be chosen as the victim.
1t is right. He has earned the honor Of
the martyrdom. He got the chief benefit
Of the bill, he alone could have defeated
it, and he, therefore, is its best represen
tative. 1t was q Republican measure
passed by Republican votes, and ap
proved by Republican President. The
party, as such, is as much responsible fol
it as for any act thatthey claim the cred
Of passing since Lincoln was elected
Face the music, gentlemen! ONLY
YOU are too cowardly to do so-dont i'm
agipe that you can swim Grant and sinl
Butler. They are in the same boat-an,
so is the Republican party.

Nyw ORLEANS, Aug. 19.-In response

nnrsued regarding Louisiana affairs,
ftohn McEnery writes letter advising
state Convention in December, and the

usurpation, McEnery says: "The pres

THE manner in which the English and
French papers "do up" American events
is enough to lift ones hair sometimes.
The Paris Figaro recently sketched the
operations of band of assassins in New
Hampshire, which will astonish those
denizsns of that rural commonwealth
who happen to read it. All their victims
had the same mark, the severing of the
carotid artery Once the police came
suddenly upon the band, but the mem-
bers fed through the town at full speed,
passing a photograph gallery in their
hight. The photographer at once turned
his lens upon them and had all their
photographs turned on them in twink
ling. The next morning they were rec
ognized as residents of the town, and
were all arrested. Another story told by
this veracious Figaro was about an Amer
ican millionaire who packed his father in
pork barrel in order to send him home
as freight. and save the price OF passage
demanded for corpse. a...E.. &.

s. W Wheelock, Of Moline, the Purchaser.
For some time past Mr. s W. Vince
lock- well known as an intelligent patron
and breeder of fine stock, has been nego-
tiating with Mr. O. J Dimick for the
purchase of his celebrated stallion, Bashaw-
Dury, and the purchase has just been
effected, at $4,000 and the horse removed
to Mr. WheelOck's stock farm near Moline,
where he will remain. The horse is one of
the finest and most valuable of any in this
region. In 1867 Mr. Dimick bought the
animal, then a two-year old, out Of Drury's
pasture, in Mercer county, paying one
thousand dollars for him. His income
from the horse has been as follows

An Attsmpt 70 Order q decision.

The correspondence of the Inter Ocean,
from Springfield the 18th, says
The Senate resolution asking the Su-
preme Court to give speedy decision in
the Mclean County suit against the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad. under the new
railroad law, was taken up in the House
to-day, and Mr.. Durham moved to table
1t, urging that the court was fully alive 70
the Importance of an early decision. Inc
motion. however, was defeated by vote
OF 90 against 46.
An effort was made to send the resolu,-
ton to the Committee on Railroads, and
several members spoke against trying to
bring any influence TO bear upon the gu,
preme Court, but only few lawyers voted
for its reference
A few speeches was made by members
pro and con.
Mr.. Savage was willing to take the
chances Of contempt of court, as II was
simply a respectful petition.
Mr. Swan was opposed to debating to
the court,
Mr.. Hay thought the resolution was a
reflection upon the court, and decision,
under the pressure of the Legislature,
would not be of much importance.
Mr.. Harrington hoped the House would
not commit the folly of passing the resolu-
ton. 1t was a menace to the. court,
trenching upon the precincts Of the judicial
arm Of the Government, and could only be
construed as a clamor for decision III
harmony with that clamor, which was
leading to a disturbance Of the peace.
Mr.. Hite, of st. Clair, thought the effect
would be bad 1t was setting dangerous
precedent
Mr.. Quinn moved to Indefinitely post
pone the discussion of the subject. Lost by
a vote of 80 against 46.
After further debate the resolution was
defeated 81 to So
Very properly disposed Of. toe We think
1t would have been in very had taste to
attempt to force a decision In due time
the decision will come-and we have little
doubt that the court will find a reason fol
deciding in favor Of the people.
