yertlSment IN this issue.
The Plover Times contains cap
ital account of Editor Ingersoll's visit
to our city, and notice Of the Congress
sional Convention.
The Centralia Brass Band dis
coursed excellent music at the Mass
Meeting at Music Hail. 1t will be-
come one of the best bands in the
State.
If you hear that Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary is to be dramatized
and put upon the stage, don't believe
it. T is only another catch of this
wicked and adulterous generation.
The Reformers are trying to make
it appear that Senator Howe was drunk
last week when he spoke at Music
Hall. No use trying to make out that
Howe is ''reformer, gentlemen. He
isn't; so trot out some other argument
or dry up.
She said her new casehnives would
cut hair, and a wicked boaider said
her word was good, but he could iell
better after trying the hash; and now
he is boarding elsewhere. Sucn
hash remarks tend to demoralize a
boarding house.
We must ask our very courteous
and gentlemanly friend, Judge O'Con-
ner, to take little pains TO get Mr.
Laws REPORTER to him at Reming
ton, where the Judge is Postmaster.
Mr.. Law is quite earnest in his solicit
tations.
Mr.. Bearss has succeeded in get
ting an enormous crop of cranberries
without loss from frost. The yield
foots up to 1000 bushels which will
afford him a net profit of at least S16,-
600. Mr.. B. has worked hard and
faithfully, in bringing his marsh to a
bearing condition, and we rejoice in his
prosper ty.
The last Tribune has this shame
full assertion:
The carpet-baggers of the south
are just now, and will be until after
election, busy writing letters to their
northern radical allies, portraying
in heart-rending terms the outrages
of the southern conservatives. This
same trick has been played every
two years since the war, and has al
ways produced radical victories at
the north. The trick has been so
thoroughly exposed that none but
gudgeons will be caught tins fall.
We know, from personal experience
in the south, that the conservatives
there are regarded by these negroes
as their most reliable and most
obliging friends. 1t has become no
torious at the south that the negro
seldom seeks an accommodation
among the carpet baggers, and that
they are never refused by the ex-
shareholders. Judge Howe read one
of these letters during his speech on
Wednesday evening, and Bro. Phil
leo has received and published anoth-
er. "Anything to get votes,' is the
slogan Of the radicals of the north.
The Tribune knows that it's utterance
is maliciously false. Even the Chicago
Times, the Louisville Conrier-Jomno1,
and other democratic papers acknowl-
edoe that the wrongs exist, and JEFF
Davis, the arch traitor, says they have
been perpetrated, and thinks it folly to
have commenced so soon The Re
PORTER received copy of the New
Orleans Picayme of Sept. 22d, last
Saturday, full of these outrages and
glorying in them And the Tribune
claims to be loyal sheet ! Jack was
once an Abolitionist, then a Know
Nothing, then a Republican, then
Reformer, now a Reformer, hence we
may infer, what
TROUBLE WITH TURK EY.-A seri-
Gus embroglio in our relations with the
Divan has arisen, as follows: Sarkis
Minasian, who has for many years acted
as the resident agent in Turkey for the
sale of DR.. J. c. Aver & Co. s mcdici-
mes, driven by the increase of his bus,
mess to a necessity for more room,
built his warehouse in Constantinople
several stories higher, after having OBJ
tanned the necessary permit from the
authorities. The Imans of neighbour
ing mosque, which overlooked the prem
icies demanded large present in mon
ey, which was refused They then APP
piled to the Grand Vizer, for the en-
forcement of an obsolete law, which
had been disregarded two hundred
years, requiring him to take down the
