Attend the Primary Meetings to day.
There are questions at issue in the coming
election that particularly interest the work
ing men of the country. 1t is important
that men should be elected for Congress
this Fall, who can be relied upon. Men
who are in sympathy with the producing
portion of the country should be brought
forward. We do not SO much stand in
need Of "gab," as we need men who have
sense enough to be honest and courage suf-
fcient to do right; men who think more of
the welfare of their constituents than about
WIRE pulling and getting their followers
and haugers-o in petty offices.
A Republican who will tell the people
the truth, and properly show them the real
issues at stake, we believe would be elected
in this District, this Fall, by handsome
majority.

REVIVAL OF TRADE.

There are hopeful signs that the Fall
trade will be brisk one. Merchants are
appearing in the cities, and large shipments
of grain are coming in. The Philadelphia
Ledger Of recent date says:
There are numerous signs that the leth-
argy of the dull season is over, and We
trust that they are all the forerunners Of
wholesome activity in all kinds of useful
industry, manufactures, commerce and
trade. We are now within a few days of
the anniversary of that unfortunate Sep
TENDER day one year ago, which saw the
beginning of what is popularity termed the
"panic." Since that time there has been
suspension of overtrading, or at least
great check upon that crying evil of the
past. Manufacturing of nearly all descrip-
tions, during the greater part Of the past
twelve months, has been very far short of
what it had been in any equal period of
time for at least ten years. The only stocks
which have been attempted to be kept up
to the fullest measure are the products of
the farm. All others must be pretty we'll
run down when measured by the standards
of few years ago. The people who for
the past year have been wearing out and
using up the old articles they had on hand,
trusting to the return of better times before
venturiug to spend their money for some
thing newer or more convenient or satisfac-
tory, must have got pretty we'll to the end
of their reserves of old stock. This has
been wholesome experience, bringing
with it lessons of economy and utility, but
still, like all other lessons and experiences,
there comes a time when these, like all
others, have to be practiced under new con-
ditions or upon new materials and new
articles, because the old ones are no longer
disable. Such drafts upon reserved re-
sources and old stores carried on for nearly
year must have left good many gaps to
fill up among the stocks of goods, wares
and merchandise that make up the essential
stock in trade for country like ours, and
the filling up of these vacant spaces ought
to set into motion nearly all of those numer-
erous wheels of industry that have been
idle or partly idle since October year ago.
These are some of the conditions which, in
the nature of things, indicate that there
ought to be wholesome activity in produc-
ton, manufactures, commerce, and in all
that makes up healthy cuisines dur
ing the business season, which is now at
hand. Some may think that the adoption
by Congress of this or that Financial
scheme, may have large influence in the
matter. But all such theories we deem to
be delusive, and feel persuaded that those
who wait for such contingencies are likely
to be disappointed

GET REG1sTERED.-The Registers for
the several Districts will set at the places
of holding elections, on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday next. Every Republican
who is not already registered, should at
tend to tho matter. No man with the
right to vote, can in justice to the inter-
ests of the country refuse to exercise it.
There is plenty of the same kind of feel
ing in this State that is manifesting itself
further South in the persecution and muir
der of white and colored men for the slight
est cause. There is only needed little
encouragement for its development. Every
vote cast against the dominant party here
is a rebuke to the lawless element. Repub-
licans, see that every man in your District
entitled to vote is on the list.

uc vi ltSl
year was 26S, 900, and it is estimated that
the number this year will be but 1876, 600.
Of course this estimate may fall short of
the actual numbers if there should be I'M
wonted business activity during the coming
Autumn. One of the effects of the inven-
ton of steam engines, the laying of tele-
graph cables, and the publication of nu-
merous newspapers, is to be found in the
promptness with which the supply of both
labor and material gravitates to meet the
demand. Without these aids to commerce
the evils of overstocked or of understocked
labor markets would be aggravated by the
slowness with which supply would accom-
itself to demand.
Ann Eliza, one of the wives of Brig.
ham Young, has applied to the Third Dis
trict Court of Utah for divorce. She
alleges in her complaint that they were
married on the 9th of April, 1868; and
that in about one year after the marriage
Young treated her with systematic neglect
and cruelty, and finally deserted her alto
gether. She thinks that $50, 900 is Ieas-
enable sum for the services of her counsel
in the suit, while 81, ZOO per month would
be reasonable allowance for the support
of herself and her children. Brigham
Young in his answer to the complaint
denies that he was ever married to Ann
Eliza, whom he believes to be the lawful
wife of James L. Dee, who is still living,
and from whom she has never been di-
vorced. He admits, however, that "celes-
tal marriage took place between Them
but Mary Ann well knew that by said mar
riage she could not expect his society or
attentions as in ordinary relations between
husband and wife. He also says that she
voluntarily left his home, and he does not
think 100000, or any sum whatever, a
reasonable fee for her counsel, or that any
sum exceeding 800 per month would be a
reasonable allowance for the plaintiff and
her children. He says his whole property
does not exceed 5000, 900, or his income
sc, 900 per month, and he has a large family
of 60 persons who are dependent upon him
for support.
The Ohio Republican State Convention
made a splendid opening of the campaign
on Wednesday, by driving straight at and
over all initiation and reputation hereses,
and declaring in the most unmistakable
language for national honesty and specie
payments. AS this is the only State so far
in which the two parties are committed to
the directly opposite lines of financial
policy, the election in October will be
deeply interesting. The issue between rag
money and specie, breaking faith and keep
ing it, is directly made up and goes to the
people of Ohio to be passed upon by them
at the polls. We know that the Demo
cratic politicians of the Pendeton stamp
have taken up greenbacks and reputation
as fancied popular policy, and that they
are looking TO see the State carried upon it;
but there are shrewd men among the Re-
publican leaders in OHIO, and we have good
hopes that they will be found to have pretty
fairly estimated the general sentiment in
speaking out for the principles that the

woman by the name Of Hattie Rodgers,
who lived on Caldwells run, and he
wished to be imprisoned for the crime.
Mr.. Kennedy thought the story rath er
uncertain, 90 he sent Baumberger to
Capt. Davis. An officer was despatch
ed to the scene OF the supposed murder,
and discovered the women whom
Baumberger said he had killed, alive
and healthy as female could be, The
woman was taken 10 Squire Gillespy's
office, where Baumberger was held in
custody. She denied that anybody had
shot her, and said that nobody had at
tempted to do such a thing. Baum.
berger was discharged as there was no
evidence against him. He must have

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. of the most
disastrous accidents that has happened
to any OF our manufactures, occurred
last night about half past six, at the La
Belle mill, mourning considerable loss
to the proprietors, both for the extent
OF damage done and the loss Of time it
will necessitate for repairs. The main
shaft, from some cause which can not
be accounted for, broke while running
at full speed. This break caused the
breakage OF the wrist and pitmau OF
the engine, when she run through her
self, tearing out the cylinder head, the
pitman falling 10 the fly wheel pit, be-
sides breaking one section out Of the
fly wheel. None of the operators pre-
sent sustained injuries.
With the we'll known energy OF the
proprietors, we doubt not the nsces'
sary repairs will soon be made, and the
manufacture OF nails continued, and
that the accident will not interfere
with their attending to the demands o.
the trade, which at this time is quite
