the effect of his ballot. The candi.
dates for the Legislature on the
Independent ticket have given their
pledges that if elected they will
vote and work for the reduction of
the princely salaries and fees now
paid to the State and county officers,
in the first instance directly in the
face of the State Constitution, and
taken together are the real cause
OF the present burdensome taxation.
Let them remember that the party
that las had control Of affairs IN
this county so long, went into the
canvass two years ago on the cry OF
retrenchmeut and REFORM" and
the capdidates promised if the peo-
pie would elect them that they
would reduce taxation, pay off the
county debt, and use the utmost
economy in conducting the business
Of the county. Every taxpayer
knows how these promises have
been violated; every taxpayer
knows that while the revenues OF
the county have been greatly in
creased by the enhansed value of
real estate and the increase of the
annual tax levy, the coun'y expen'
ses have also been increased, and
the county debt grown in magnitude
and no one to-day outside OF the
ring Of otice-holderS knows what
the debt Of the county really is.
and although these are facts that
cannot be successfully controverted,
yet this same ringplaces its nominees
before the people to-day, and with
the most brazen, unblushing ei-
fontery, while defending its past
administration Of county affairs,
again raises the cry Of !" economy
and retrenchment," and with loud
mouthed defamation insists that
the heavy burdens Of taxation Jim
posed upon the people by the act of
this very riug) that is crushing the
people to the earth, must and shall
be abated, and If elected they will
work in season and out of season
las they did two years ago) to
effect this much desired result
Having played the same role over
and over again in the past, the ring
has come to believe that the same
protestations will again be success
full in gulling the people into voting
it into office. Judging from the
past history ofthe Democratic office
holders in Linn county, can any
sensible man place particle Of re-
lance in the promises of the candi-
dates of the ring, when those prom
ises touch the pockets OF the ring
members? No. There will be no
reduction in taxes, the expenses Of
the county will be increased, ex.
travagauce and miSmapagement will
be the rule and economy the excep-
tion, should the people again be
gulled into electing the Democratic
ring nominees to place and power
And the extravagance, mlsmauage'
nert and ullIawhl acts OF the party
in power will never be unearthed
and fully shown up until a new
deal is had-uutil the candidates d
the ring are turned out, and honest
and trustworthy men, who are not
& bound in SlaviSh party CHAINS, are
elected to tile positions. Can any
thing be palmer than this? Cal
not the most obtuse intellect se'
that iii reform is really what tn
People want, the only certainmod

Don't Wear ChignOns.

A Syracuse paper tells the following re-
markable story:
''Monday ON the train on the Erie railway
which runs from Rochester to Danville and
reaches there at 10 a. M, most singular
circumstance occurred. , When the train
was about three miles from the village tho
passengers in one of the coaches were
alarmed by the singular actions of lady,
who gave her name as Mary p. Rhoades of
Adrian, Mich, and relative of Rev. @. T.
Selbt, OF Olean, N. Y. She was leaning
over seat, uttering the most piercing
cries. A gentleman rushed to her and
asked the trouble. She made no answer,
but continued to scream the louder. When
the train reached the village she was helped
into the waiting room and gentleman
present procured glass of brandy, which
being given to the lady she appeared to re-
cover some. A lady standing near at this
juncture gave scream, and pointing Ia
the head of Miss Rhoades tainted. On ex-
animation large striped snake was OBJ
served coiled around the chignon and only
explained by the theory that it. had goi
into the car and took refuge under the
cushions Of the car seat Miss RhoadeI
stated she felt something crawling up hel
head, but could only give vent to her feel
ings IN screams aud until 1t was taken Of
did not herself know what the matter was
The snake was killed. and the affair pro
duced no little excitement for the time.

THE FLooDs. - Over fourteen
thousand square miles of territory
in the States of Arkansas, Misslss-
ippi and Louisiana, embracing the
rich alluvial lands of those States,
have been covered with water 1or
two ) months. All crops have been
destroyed, and everything in the
shape of cattle and stock and sup
plies have been swept away by the
angry waters. Speedy and liberal
relief can alone save the people
from death by starvation. Some
thing must be done to prevent a re-
currence of this great calamity, and
we sec that our Southern exchanges
are urging the necessity of Con-
gressional intervention. The con-
struction of impossible barriers
against the overflow of the waters
can only be accomplished by the
Federal Government, and it is an
matter which calls for
the exercise Of their protecting
care.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATIoN.-The St.
Louis Republican attributes the fail,
ure Of the Southern States to secure
European labor, to their not offering
propriotory interest in the soil,
which tho immigrants desire, and
which is offered thom in the West.
We have unrivalcd attractions in the
way Of climate and soil, and if to
these the large landowners will only
offer tho third or half Of their prop
erty Oh favorable tcrms, the stream
of foreign immigration will bo turned
Southwark. The effect Of this will
be not only to give US population and
wealth, but 10 trcblo in valuc the
lands unsold. 49,,

Messrs. Moore & Cosby, General
State Agents of the Wilson Sewing
Machine, and ask our readers at
.tention to the merits justly won by
ttis machine. Although other sew
ing machines claim the victory at
the Worlds Grand Exposition in
Nioaus, Austria, last year, the
Wilson Machine holds the Grand
Medal, wirich reflects great credit
OIL our people for their wonderful
inventions over the inventors of
Europe. Every lady nowadays
csn be their own judges Of sewing
machines, having been familiar
with them long enough to know
which is the best, and all we care
to say is, just try the Wilson for
light running, nice stitching, and
simple attachments. Messrs. Moore
& Cozby sold one day in our city
five machines, which speaks a
whole volume for the Wilson.
The lsen-Machinc broke into
the sewing nachinc combination
by undersclling them by from SIS
to $40 cheaper, which should be
an inducement to families to pur-
chase the Wilson Sewing Machine.
