AN exchange says the two things
eraneers have to fear are mOnopolies
and politicians. a politician, IN Its
highest meaning, is one who is posted
in the current history of the govern
ment. conversant with its powers and
duties, aud patriotic and honest enough
to resist abuses of its powers and cor
rect every neglect Of its duties. Every
granger ought, therefore, to strive to
he such a politician, that he may IN
derstapd his rights and how to main
tain them. 10 know his wants and how
to supply them.
The politicians they have to fear,
are the professional Office seekers, un-
scrupulous as TO the means, so they
succeed. and who would use the gran
yes as mere stepping-stOnes by which
they may ascend to high places. Many
such will seek admittance into the or
der and eternal vigilance alone, can
keen them out, and among the most
dangerous of this class, is the willy
monopolist. who. as spy in camp,
will hope to defeat the plans of the
erapgers aud even make them subServe
the ends of monopolies. We approve
that feature of the organization which
prohibits religious and POLITICAL dis
cussion, because it is the only tffective
means for the suppression of internal
dissention and the growth of partizan
feelings-two things more to be feared
than all else because moIe fatal to the
organization than the lurking hostility
.9f selfish, outside foes.

The Union and American, under
the head of Explosion of Lamps"
gives the following views of Prof.
Erich:
If the statistics of the loss of life
caused by the explosion of lamps filled
with what is supposed to be coal oil
could be collected, they would present
fearful array. In consequence of the
frequent occurrence of such accidents
in Baltimore, Professor Erich was led
to investigate the whole matter, and it
is his opinion that nine out of every
ten of the accidents reported as coal
oil explosions should be called benzine
explosions, and he holds those liquids
sold under the name of gasoline, ocean
oil, non-explosive oil, etc, are but lit
tie else than slightly modified benzine.
The standard coal oil will not only not
ignite upon contact with lighted
match or burning piece of paper, but
will actually extinguish the fame like
so much water. 1t is, at ordinary tenn
peratures, almost as harmless as lard
or fish oil, and cannot be made to burn
without wick. If this oil should ac-
cidently be spilled, as in breaking a
lamp while filling, it would not be scat
tered about in the shape of liquid fire,
carrying death and destruction wher-
ever it flows, as all the lighter oils
would. The worst it could do would
be to render calico dresses, etc., more
infammable. These are useful hints
and should be born in mind by those
who use lamps for Illuminating pur-
poses. Great care should be exer-
cised in purchasing only oil that is
pure.

THE JUDGES CONVENTION.

We publish, to-day, the proceedings
of the Convention of Judges and At
torneys General, recently in session at
Nashville. We hope it will prove the
suspicious beginning of a much needed
reform in the administration of the
penal code. We believe however, that
an important step, in that direction,
would be the establishment of Work
house at every county site as the best
means of relieving the Penitentiary
and iails of the crowds Of petty often
ders whose Imprisonment costs the
people so much. With such an insti
tuition wisely regulated by law, felOns
could be made to pay their board and
the costs of prosecution by working
upon county roads, repairing and
cleaning streets, removing nulSances
and. in inclement weather, breaking
rock. under shelter. To give greater
effect to this system, petty larceny
should cover all thefts of less than
twenty-five dollars, or even a larger
amount. and the convicts be sentenced
TO the workhouse for as long term as
in the Penitentiary.
We would suggest one thing more
that may be instrumental in expedit-
ing the business of the courts, whilst
lessening the chances for crime to es-
cape punishment-we mean such a
modification of the forms of indict-
ment. as will divest them Of cumbrous
verbiage and simplify them to a clear
statement of facts. Justice demands
only facts, and if A kill B, state that
fact; if the killing be done with PTS
tol, club, or axe, though not essential,
the instrument may be specified, In
dictmeuts, so framed, cannot be quash-
ed upon mere technical points, trials
postponed, perhaps indefinitely, and
the ends of justice thwarted. The
main point is to bring the often
der promptly to trial-the how, and
the intent of the criminal are points
to be reached through the testimony,
and decided by the jury. We throw
out the suggestion for what it is worth
trusting that the legislature will con-
slider itself bound to reform the errors
in pleading and practice, as essential
to economy by doing away with the
laws delay" SO justly complained of
by those who seek justice at the hands
of the courts.

If there be no mistake in the dis
patch, which attributes the Following
strong utterances to President Grant,
the friends of the country can begin
to see daylight after the long and
dreary night of Radical supremacy:
II begin to think that it is time for
the Republican party to unload. There
has been too much dead weight car
ried by it. The success of our arms
during the rebellion, and the conf
dence that the Republican party was
strong enough to hold up any burden,
have imposed all the disaffestion in
the gulf States upon the Administra-
ton. l am tired of this nonsense
Let Louisiana take care of herself, as
Texas will have to do. | don't want
any quarrel about Mississippi State
matters to be referred to me. This
nursing of monstrosities has nearly
exhausted the life of the party. I am
done with them, and they will have to
take care of themselves"

A5BRUTAL MURDER-They get up
a murder from little cause in the West.
At Carbondale, ILL.,, John M. Brush,
In registering his name at the Planters
House, spilled ink on the register,
which provoked the clerk of the house,
and a quarrel ensued, in which the
proprietor of the house, j. w. Nc
Donald, took part. The result was
that Brush was instantly killed by Me-
Donald. The affair created intense
excitement. owing to the popularity of
Brush and the fact that the provoca-
ton was so trifing. Brush was an old
army telegraDhic operator and highly
respected by all who knew him.

THE SIAMESE TWINS.
SIN Death They We're not Divided"

New YORK, Jan. 20.-A special
from Richmond makes the announce
ment of the sudden death of the cele-
brated Siamese Twins, Saturday morn
ing, the 18th. at their residence at
Mount Airy, in Surrey county, n. G.
Chang was partially paralyzed last fall,
since which time no has been fretful,
very much debilitatated and strongly
addicted to drinking liquor as means
of alternating his suferings. He had
been quite feeble for several days, so
much so as to confne the brothers to
bed. Friday night Chang became
worse and expired suddenly about 4
o'clock, Saturday mbrning. Eng be-
came so terribly shocked that he raved
wildly for awhile. This attack was
followed by what seemed to be dead
ly stupor, and in two hours, it is sup
posed, from the death of Chang, Eng
breathed his last The wives and fam
lilies of the twins are in the deepest
grief, the children, many of whom are
deaf mutes, expressing their sorrow in
the most pitiful manner.

THE Nashville Banner says,

The Governor is ia almost daily re,
ceipt of letters making inquiries con
corning the roll of Tennessee soldier;
in the war Of 1872, but there are nj
copies of them among the archives o.
the State, and have not been since the
late war, and if there ever were any
before the year 1860, no one has q
knowledge of it. He wrote letter re-
Gently to the Secretary of War, re-
questing him 10 furnish the State with
a complete transcript of all the rolls
when the Secretary responded that II
would require six months TO perform
that duty, beside. the records had been
thumbed so much that they had near
" been worn out. Any information
desired concerning them, however,
could be had by addressing the Third
Auditor of the. Treasury.
We think that if the records are so
nearly gone as represented, 1t Is high
time that they should be transcribed,
IN order to their preservation, and
some provision should at once
be made in that direction by Con-
gress.
