"The Great South a series of mag

Scri6ner's for July. In the first paper
entitled "Thc New Route to the Gulf"
Mr. Edward King gives us a graphic de-
scription of the movement of the army of
emigrants into the great Southwest land,
and of the romantic border life-past and
present-of that strange but now rapidly
undermining country. An entertaining
illustrated paper on "Low Life in Berlin"
follows this. One of the most interesting
magazine articles of the day is Rev J.
A. Reeds defence of Lincoln from certain
late biographers. Another noteworthy
article IN this number is DR.. Newell's sim

'Rccollections of n Restored Lunatic."
There arc besides the continuance Of
Arthur Bonnicastle lin which is chron-

GRACE GREENWOOD writes to the

err believed with Miss Anthony that
the Fourteenth Amendment was 60
ing to help the women suffragists.
She remarks:-':I certainly do not
want to get into any of your politi-
cal preserves by any bubble or
dodge. l want my right there free
ly granted and guaranteed, and will
be politely treated when come, or
l won't stay. The promised land of
justice and equality is not to be
reached by short cut. l fear we
have large part of the. forty years
struggle and zigzaging before us yet.
l am pretty sure that our Moses
has not yet appeared, think he will
be a woman" She adds with ref
erence to Miss Anthony:-"I have
never accepted certain other of her
theories; but l believe in and ac-
cept her, as a womansof intense con-
victions, of high courage and con-
stancy; and 1 don't like to hear her
ridiculed and abused. If anything
makes me think meanly of my young

The Davenport Democrat give a
rather doleful account of tho effect
of the Illinois railroad law upon the
trade of that city. 1t says:
Tho new Illinois railway law has
already begun to work unfavorably
and to the injury of our Davenport
trade. 1t has brought particular
grief to our grain mcn-dealers,
buyers, and shippers. Before July
they could ship to any or all East
crn points and make a comfortable
profit. Now, since the abolishing
Of special rates and the heavy rise
in the tariff they are left in very
prccarious position, with large
amounts ofgrain on hand. The rail
ways will not ship at the old June
rates, neither will they make special
rates, and our shippers cannot pay
the new increased rates and make
any margin at all. So there is a
deadlock in grain here, and grain
men are standing around with their
hands in their pockets-thinking.

be lacking to make his evidel
complete. One was the specifica-
ton of the date.
He was certain that it was in the
early part of the summer of that
year. Mr.. Drew, like his client
Mr.. Cakes Ames, also kept little
memorandum book. In this memo
randum book he was accustomed to
enter a private record of his profess
sional services. He has found that
book. In the record Of June for
that year there are thfee entries of
visits to the Capitol, when he called
upon Mr.. Amcs in his capacity as
counsel. Ono was early in June,
and two others were on the Goth.
aud 29nd of June show that one of
those dates was the day when ne saw
Mr.. Ames together with the gentle
man who discussed the merits of
the Mansfield cotton cases. He is
not able to swear positively, on
which of those days the check was
paid, but he is willing to make oath
that a check Of 81, 200 payable to S.
@. or bearer was on one or the 9TH
cr of those days paid by the paying
teller of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House of Representatives to Mr..
Oaks Amcs himself. The person to
whom these $1,000 were paid Mr..
Drew expects to be able speedily to
name. He had not given Mr.. Col
fax information of the fact, until
very recently, because he wished to
find this person, in order to have
the chain circumstances complete.
Whether he has found him l am
not able to say, bnt l do know that
Mr.. Drew, within very short time,
has communicated this statement to
Mr.. Colfax.
Mr.. Drew subsequently was coun-
sci for Oaks Ames for long period,
and became intimately familiar
with his idiosyncrasies Of habit,
and without rejecting upon his eli
ent in any manner, or disclosing
any confidence which may have
been professionally intrusted to him,
Mr.. Drew states that it is his can
did personal opinion that Oaks
Ames inserted the initials as a
memorandum for his own personal
use, without reference to Mr.. Colfax.
Mr.. Oaks Amcs, it will be remem-
bcred, repeatedly testified that he
gave that check to Schuyler Colfax,
which to this day, Mr.. Colfax has
persistently denied.

PROF. WISE, the distinguished
acronaut, who has been importunlng
the city authorities of Boston and
New York without success, for the
means to test his theory of air cur
rents, by which balloon may reach
Europe from this country, has at
last found the aid desired. The
proprictors of the new illustrated
daily, the New York Graphic, will
donate $4,000 to this project, and
Profs. Wise and Donaldson have
already commenced preparations for
this flight across the Atlantic. They
expect to embark about the first of
September, and have full faith in
the success Of their hazardous cx-
pertinent. The main balloon will
be spheroid o: 100 feet transverse
and 10 perpendicular diameter.
The supplemental balloon for storage
of extra gas will be SO feet in
diameter, the whole, allowing for
expansion of gas, having a lifting
power Of 900, and net carrying
power of $500 pounds. The supply
of gas is calculated to furnish a ten
days boyant power, allowing for all

WHAT do the little squad Of anti
monopolizers in this county who
are so tiercely against Gov. Carpcn-
ter, think of their brethren in other
parts of the state, who are trying
to induce Republicans to join the
movement by assuring them that the
Anti-Monopoly State Convention
will endorse his nomination for
Governor? The whole stock in
trade of the new party being opposi-
ton to corruption, is it not Il little
significant that its leaders cannot
agree in designating the corruption
lists, in Iowa? Does not the fact
that a portion of the Autobiography
party are willing to accept Gov.
Carpenter as a candidate, while
others are maligning him without
measure, as bad and corrupt man,
indicate that there may be some
doubt about the truth of those
charges, and that the professions Of
that party are not honest or sincere?

With politics, in its partisan sense
the farmers movement was never

by the farmers in common with ma

object appealed to almost universal
sympathy. 1t touched chord in
the popular conscience. The only
point of difference regard the exact
mode of procedure to secure a rem

and disintegration were introduced.
Questions entirely different from

THE trial of young Walworth,
whose cold FLOODED murder Of his
father few weeks ago was noted
in our columns, terminated last week
in verdict by the jury Of murder
in the second degree. On Saturday
the parricide was brought into
court, and, after listening to scath-
ing review of his unnatural crime
by the presiding judge, was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
Walworth bore himself throughout
with the same stoical demeanor
which has characterized him
during the trial. He is either in
sensible of the enormity of his act,
or already a hardened villain.
