A CLEAR CASE.

Stebbins and Todd republish the fol-
lowing from their paper Of August 9Th,
1870:
We do not demand that Mr.. Donnelly
must be the man, but we do say as we said
in our issue of July 3D., that 1.-THE injury
tsdone that gentleman aud the insult offered
9eto his supporters can only be blotted out
ssby his denomination and election this tall.
Justice. in view Of large majority of the
Republican votes, demands this much, but
when we talk of unity and compromise we
imply the waving of justice and right
though we may still smart under wrongs
inflicted. The road to harmony we are
DESTROYS of following, but If harmony only
involves concession on one side, that Of the
injured parties, we protest in the name Of
the eleven thousand Republican votes IN
this district who supported Mr.. Donnelly in
1858, even though that protest should in
volve the election of Democrat and the
scattering of the Republican party unit! the
State followed the example Of the district in
electing Democratic Officers. Revolutions
are not always justi6able but they will ever
find their excuse when the minority per
sistently trample upon the rights Of the ma
jority.
And they now say: :.
LIST. That did they not In this article,
insist upon our nomination and election,
in 1870, to Congress; but simply, that
the insult offered to his (our) supporters
can only be blotted out BY his reno"''-
nation and election this fall. Any
fool can see the difference between the
two propositions.
I'd. That while they did insist upon
our denomination and reelection they
meant that they would not do SO, if TIE
Republican party Was to suffer there
by; but that all they wanted
was the scattering Of the Republican
party and a revelation. Any foo
can understand how you can elect ,
man to Congress, inside the Republican
party, by inangnrating . revolution,
and scattering that party, and still
adhere to, s.the grand old party"
Sd. That their adherence Of tn
Democratic party was so great, tina
they ceuld not sustain US if the Demo

independent candidate and refused I

age they could get" Their horres

ing article, where they say they are

Well Answered.

In reference to the fraud and corrup-
tons. perpetrated at Washington, Hon.
w. D. Voorhees, replied to Mr.. Morton,
who says that their perpetrators have
been punished, as follows:
ssWho has been punished Were all
those members Of Congress who held
stock in the Credit Mobilier punished
by being rcappointed by the speaker to
the chairmanships of all the leading
committees of the House! Was John
A.. Bingham Of Ohio, punished foE his
share Of this stock by being appointed
minister to Japan! Did the Republican
Senate punish him by its confirmation
Of his appointment Was Richardson
punished when he was tsken in bis dis
grace from the treasury and appointed
to an exalted judicial life Office; and
was Senator Morton inhicting punish.
ment on him when his confirmation was
carried through the Senates Did the
President intend to punish Gov. Shep.
herd when, upon the close of the inves.
tigation, which deprived him Of one Of.

another. Has Sanborn been prosecuted
for his offenses! Is he undergoing pun.

The usual amount Of wheat raised in
the United States is about 100000, 900
bushels. The annual deficiency in Great
Britain is about OO,000 900 bushels.
Thus she requires about one third Of
our annual product. This is thought
that will bear consideration, that one
third of our whole wheat crop is needed

ANGoRA GoArs-A Nevada. paper
says: A New York exchange gives
glowing account of the success Of
naturalizing Angora goats on the Pa
cifis coast. The article is in the main
correct, except that the preference is
given to California as the place. where
these animals thrive the best. This is
not true. California is too moist 4 coun-.
try in the winter and too warm-at
least in the valleys and foothills-in
summer, for the raising Of Angora
goats to perfection. These animals can
stand any amount of cold, and. live on
the roughost kind Of food; but they
cannot endure. the winter rains Of Cali
fornia. After they are few weeks old,
in ordinary weather, they will get
along we'll enough but baby Angora
is almost as helpless, and needs almost
as much attention as human baby,
and one cold rain on youngster Of the
mohair family is fnisher for him.
Again, the staple of this goat is neither
so long, fine, nor heavy in California IS
Nevada They are essentially an
animal Of high attitudes,
and do not seem to- either
thrive well or produce an average fleece
near the level Of the sea. even with the
most faithful and careful attendance.
In Nevada they get along sHlsndidly
and probably all over the Great Basin
they viii do we'll. The business o.
raising these beautiful animals will
doubtless increase greatly in this region
when it gets to be better understood
Those employed IN the business become

some change on -four and grain, the

From the Hastings Gazette, August
18th
Mr.. Strait has not sought the reputa-
ton of being brilliant
We believe you, my boy!
1t is true that we do not hear so much Of
him, nor from him, as from many others.
OF course not. But that proves his
superiority to Dawes, Garfield. Schurz,
Sherman. and other imbeciles, who fill
the ear Of the world with their thoughts
and their labors.
Oh, Gospel Of Mediocrity, you are
grand indeed
1t is the quiet SOW, after all, that
sucks the swill. Celeridge on a gate
post, talking immortal poetry and phil
osophy. is inferior to rthe industrious
and silent animal that, without either
poetry or philosophy, noses out the
tid-bits among the slop.
We have had SO many Of the brilliants

Exactly That was the mistake
Massachusetts, made in sending Web.
ster to the U. S. Senate; that was the
mistake made by Missouri when she
kept the erudite Benton for thirty years
in the U. s. Senate; that was South
Cardinals mistake in upholding Johr
G. Calhoun for 50 many years. Could
they not have found, somewheres with
in their borders, Strait, who couldn'r

does Rhode ~ Island obtain these,
advantages Why is dollar so much
moro productive in Rhode Island than
it is in Minnesota
We answer, because of the bounties
received by that State, under the High
Tariff. upon her cotton and wooden
manufactures.
Calculations have been made by
which the High Tariff bounties to the
home manufacturers have been divided
among the several States, in proportion
to the number of spindles and sets of
cards in each, as ascertained' by the
census returns. We find the total
bounties on cotton goods in the United
States to amount to $35, 100, 900; and
on WOODEN goods to amount to $20,2 l5,-
600; or total of 55,o44,00O.
Of this, Rhode Island, upon her quo
ia Of spindles and cards, receives as
| follows:
Woolen goods ............. ......s2,5si, go
| Cotton ......... 7,l65,o0O
-t:.at $685., 900
In ten years this amounts to $780,
$685. 900. Add to this the compounded
interest upon it, and the impetus which
is thereby given to all other pursuits III
the State, and you approximate to the
resulting benefits of the tariff system to
Rhode Island.
But this money comes from some
source, Hence the United States may
be divided into two classes of States,
those which receive and those which
pay bounties. Minnesota is in the lat
ter class. If We divide the total boun-
ties in the United States by the total
population of the United States, and
multiply this by Minnesota's popula-
ton, and deduct the pro rata share Of
Minnesota for her number Of spindles
and cards, we find that Minnesota pays
every year as follows:
! Bounties on cotton goods ..... Sass, 900
| Bounties on wooden goods. ISL, 900
s1,O46, 900
Here then is a tax Of over million dol
lars every year.
In the past ten years the farmers Of
Minnesota have ploughed ten millions
of dollars out of the soil and sent it to
the manufacturing states as boun.ies.
Without that system of bounties Min
nesota would to-day be ten millions dol.
lars better off.
Now do not the farmers need to
study out these questions
Here ten millions of dollars, for two
articles alone, have slipped! through
their fingers in the past ten years, and
not one in a thousand has been aware
of the fact or the process. They felt
the pinch of poverty in the midst of
abundance, but they could not account
for it. The East has fastened itself
upon the sleeping West and sucked its
life blood like great vampire; and
ever and anon when the victim stirred
uneasily, it has famed it to sleep again,
amid whispers Of Jeff. Davis, secession,
the rebel debt, Andersonville and Libby
prison.
But the long sleep is breaking at last.

move that should be adopted in al

pie of Jackson county should at once.
take action upon, and that is to form
an association to prevent the burning
of prairies in the fall, If such an asso.
ciation can be formed here and every
farmer become member it will be com.
paratively easy to prevent the usual
fall contiagration. The benefits that
would be derived by preventing the fall
fires are manifold; first, it is much bet
ter for the ground to be burned in thu
spring when the soil is wet and the
grass roots will not htrn; second, il
will improve the soil by causing the
snow to remain where it falls to protect
the ground instead Of blowing bare il
spots and in high driftsin others third
travel in winter would be much more
safe and convenient : fourth, summer
drouths would be lessened greatly by
keeping the snow on the ground to mel
evenly; fifth, pasture for stock could b
greatly improved by keeping pieces ant
burning at different times, thus furnish
ing young and tender grass at all times
during the summer; sixth, the grass i
left until spring can be burned if repe
