ANOTHER SAD FAiLURE.-Why is il that such
persistent efforts are made TO discover pas
sage 10 the open Polar Sea and the North
Pole, when every expedition that has been fit
ted out has met with disaster and the naviga-
tors with terrible death The tears of the
widow of Sir John Franklin have not vet
ceased to flow for the sad and unhappy fate of
her unfortunate husband, when there comes
the story Of the loss Of the good ship Polaris,
Capt Hall, OF Cincinnati This expedition
sailed from Brooklyn Navy Yard on the 10Th
of June, 1871, in search Of that undiscovered
pathway, and after suffering incredible hard
ships for 1876 days, fifteen of the crew and FIVE
ESquimaux were taken Off from an iceberg on
the 3oth of April last, in lat So deg. 80 min
On the 9Th Of October, 1871 in lat 81 deg 80
minutes, longitude 81 deg. A min, Captain
Hall died of apoplexy, and WAS buried on
shore, where they erected a wooden cross to
mark his grave, In Sept, 1871, the Polaris
entered winter quarters, and left August 18th
1879. The ice was heavy and sci in south
ern direction. She was forced south, and so
continued drifting until the party was driven
from her. The rescued party suffered very
much during their dreaTy drift from hunger
and cold. For the last two months they ate
raw seal and polar bear as they could get it,
When met BY the Tigress, they showed evil
dent signs of their great suilerings, but are
now rapidly improving.
AT the time Of the departure of the Polars
her fate was predicted by experienced naval
seamen, who have carefully studied the charts
and pronounced the passage undertaken by
Capt. Hall as only a waste Of time and money.

Hit HIM AGAIN.-That was good point
made by Gen. GARFIELD, of Ohio, in pub
lished letter in reply to the resolutions of a
Republican Convention recently held at War
saw, Ohio, asking him to resign because he
had voted for the retroactive salary bill. "IG,'
says the General, in concluding his letter.
'the delegates believe tue retroactive salary
clause is SO infamous that ought 10 resign for
voting for the appropriation bill to which it
was attached, will they follow out their logic
and insist that the President ought to resign
for signing it My vote did not make it a
law. His signature did,"
of course Gen. Grant will not resign-he
resigns nothing that pays-and it is but right
that he receive his share of the odium attached
to this Ubiquitous measure "Sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander." Had The
$50, 600 salary been put in the Philadelphia
platform, Gen. Grant would have served but
one term.

DEATH SENTENCE OF HoLLoHAN.-Governor
Whyte, at Annapolis, on Monday last, signed
the death warrant of EIollohan, convicted of
the murder of Mrs. Lampley, and appointed
Friday the 18th of June next, as the day for
his execution. 1t is 10 take place in Baltimore
Much MS one may regret the necessity which
exists for fulfilling the stern requirements of
the law, the safety of society and the protec-
ton Of human life, render it necessary that
the murderer should pay the forfeit of his own
life. The murder, in the present instance, has
no extenuating circumstance. The victim, a
helpless old woman, II years of age, and the
grandmother of the wife of Nicholson, whose
kindness to his children even on the night of
the murder, in sending them cake, and in Of
fering cake and wine to these men when thew
visited her house for the very purpose of muir
dering the poor old lady, renders it one of un.
parallcled cruelty and savageness. Those who
have sympathy for the murdere-s and talk
about the cruelty of hanging the guilty, should
remember that sympathy belongs 10 Others
to the innocent, unsuspecting yictims who have
been deprived of life, that their murderers NAV
riot on their ill-gotten gain, Such is not the
decree of Heaven. II is all right aud proper
that the consultations of the Gospel should be
offered to these and to all doomed men
whose span of life has been cut short by their
crimes-but we have little faith in that repcn-
lance which processes itself ready and willing
to depart assured of biissful immortality,
though unfit to live on earth Our theology
may be al fault, but if such men as Hollohan
can go from ropes end to Heaven we don't
think there is much use for hell.

TIE BALTIMORE GAZETTE This sterling De-
mocratc journal is about TO assume the fash
ionable quarto form, which will add greatly
to its widespread popularity. Messrs. Welsh,
Baker & Carpenter, have the pluck, ansand
ability to place the Gdzete in the front rank
of American journals, and win for it a name
equal to any in the country.
P. MANN, 207 Seventh ST., opposite Centre

THE Missouri PENIrENTIARY which, for some
time, has been run in the interest of the poll
tieians and brought the State in debt $500 900
in fifteen months, by their bad management
has recently by an act of the Legislature been
leased to private parties for ten years at 81 900
a year, the parties to feed, clothe, and guard
the prisoners without expense to the State, in
return for the labor of the convcts. The con-
tractors are bound TO provide the prisoners
with sufficient Wholesome food, comfortable
clothing, medicines and medical attendance,
and to pay strict attention to their health,
habits and cleanliness, and to keep their cells
properly ventilated and warmed. The CON
tractors say they can do this quite as well as
it was done by the State, and make money on
the contract. If this be so, it shows that there
are in that State, some bigger thieves out of
the penitentiary than there are in it.
| A WORD OF WARNING. Says the Whining
ton Journal, speaking of the recent election in
that city
From the returns, published elsewhere, il
will be seen that we have failed 10 elect one of
the four Conservative candidates for Alder
men. We owe this failure TO The most crimi-
nal apathy and an utter want of organization
We were surprised to see men vitality inter-
ested in the good and economical government
of the city keeping aloof from the polls. This
is wrong, and will prove hurtful to party or
ganization. Voters should go TO the nominal
ting conventions, and there urge their objec-
tons. The ballot-box is not the place TO set
tie these questions.
The opponents of the Conservative party
were hopelesslv divided. They had no chance
in fair election. Yet, as the Journal states,
they managed to secure their city officers thro'
the fault of the Conservative voters opposed
to them. So it may be in other places, if care
is not taken to put good men in the field for
oficers-men that viii bring out the full vote
of the party, and who deserve it.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Next Wednesday, August 9th, the
Republican State Convention, for the
nomination of State officers, convenes
at Madison. Great interest is being
manifested throughout the state over
the result, and the candidates for the
several positions, with the exception
of that of governor, grow aud multi
ply daily. 1t is the opinion of many
that with one or two exceptions all the
old officers will be renominated, al
though We are not willing to &C.
eept this opinion as the correct one.
But when the delegates come together
we trust their greatest anxiety will
not be so much to get such and such
men nominated as to do what seemeth
best In their sight for the greatest in
terest of the Republican party of the
gate. With a ticket composed of good
men, whether old orinew, the Republi-
cans will be able to bear aloft that banner
under which they have achieved glori-
Gus victories in the past Let our eff
forts be directed 10 this end rather than
to the Que looking to the reward of
his or that man.

APPALLING DISASTER.

An appalling railroad disaster invol.
wing terrible loss of life occurred on
Saturday night at half past ten o'clock
.e the southern bound express train on
the Chicago, Alton 4 ST. Louis Rail-
way near Lemont, about twenty
miles from Chicago. The number
killed or WHO have since died of their
wounds is thirteen, and the injured
number thirty-ons, some of whom are
not expected t. survive. The aoci-
dent is attributed to the recklessness OF
the conductor of the freight train com
ing north, who, ia violation Of the rules
Of the road left I.emont at time
VIXEN he had every reason to monen-
tarAy expect the arrival of the passen-
Ter train, and the result was a coils
len Of both trains. With the exception
of The fireman Of the freight Grain, the
victims all belonged to the passenger
train. Nearly all the deaths occurred
to the inmates of the smoking car. The
rear end of the smoking Car was push
I'd by the force Of the collision over
the boiler and rested on the top of
both engines, and nearly all the deaths
and injuries were caused by soalding
frem the escaping steam Of the LOGON O.
tives.
A searching enquiry should at once
be made into the cause Of this disaster
and when known to an absolute GER
tasnty on whom the blame rests sthe
guilty ones should receive the severest
penalty of the law. From what is
known of the circumstances up to this
time, Bean, the freight conductor, is
held chiefly responsible for the acct
dent. He is a resident of Joliet, but
has left for parts unknown. The en-.
gtneer of the freight train it is said
largely shares in the guilt of the con-
ductor, and is suffering from injuries
received.

Grange Notes

What is the Grange is question
we hear asked every day: 1t is an
organization of farmers, established
for eevatiDg to a higher social, politi.
cal and intellectual standard the farm
ers throughout the country. It es.
tablishes In community a lecture
room, where members meet, and by
association. discussion and experiment,
brighten their faculties, and elevate
their profession. They are brought
into the closest contact one with an
other, and mind with mind, uni ing
them together by the strongest human
tie-a common interest, thus enabling
them to gather and disseminate know
ledge, and successfully resist the en-
enactment of rings and combinations,
in sbort-forming one grand brother
hood. If the oranges steer clear Of
politicians, through the operation of
the institution, the members will be
enabled to obtain the highest prices,
dispense with the services of com
mission or middle-men, buy the ne
ccssitics Of life where they can be had
cheapest; procure legislation that shall
protect them from every combination
against their interest and thus make
tt hem independent. These are brief
ly the objects of the institution, and
with the Roadway it is now making,
we predict the most glorious result for
the agricultural interests of the whole
country Oshkosh Northwestern.
