The dispatch concerning the can
vass for the Republican nomina-
ton in the Third Congressional
District of Minnesota discloses the
prevalence of an alarming degree
Of corruption. "Charges of cor
ruption," it is stated, shave been
preferred on all Sides" and in
proof that the elimination and re-
elimination are not without reason
il is added: at is certain that
the rural districts were never so
flush Of ready cash before" The
people in the district must be deep
ly impressed with feeling that a
seat in Congress must be very val
liable when candidates for a nomi-
nation merely can be so liberal in
their DISBURSEMENTS. They must
also be impressed with belief that
the successful individual in this
sort of a contest can scarcely claim
to be even the free and unbought |
choice Of the party which nomi-
mates him; and we shall be much
if they do not show at the
polls that they will not have such a
man to represent them in Congress.

The Democracy of Michigan
have not had such an opportunity
to carry the State in sixteen years
as they have now. The dish-water
platform adopted by the Repub-
ilcan party recently will cause
thousands of voters to join the OPP
position, If it will only pursue the
right course. What we want and
all we require to carry the State is
an out spoken platform on present
issues. Give us hard money, home
rule, free trade, license, and other
Planks OF that nature, and the Re.
publican party will be badly whip
ped.

The Boston Post, speaking OF
Congressional contests in Massachu-
sets, says: Combining boldness
with the discretion in the action of
the several district conventions,
and appealing confidently to that
untrammeled popular sentiment
which DEGREES the dominant party
inefficient and unreliable, the Dem
ocrats have it in their power to
make such a record as in many
districts to give them a clear title
to a triumphant success"

The result of the election in
Wyoming furnishes an additional
proof of the inability of the Re-
publican party to hold its own at
the elections this year. The ma
jority by which the Democratic
candidates for Congress carried the
Territory two years ago has been
more than doubled, probably reach
ing 600 against 227 in 1872. AS
the Territory casts less than 1000
votes, this gain is quiet a notice
able one.

VIM. A. Clark, of Saginaw writes
the following communication for
the Saginaw Courier, which we
copy for the benefit of our readers:
AS very little, comparatively is
known abroad, about the city of
Alpena (where l now any, the
health restoring and wonderful vir-
tues of its magnetic springs, i
concluded to give your readers
little knowledge thereof. The city
contains about 5000 inhabitants,
who are largely engaged in the
lumber manufacturing business.
There are II saw mills, two plan
ing mills, three single and one
stave mill, besides other smaller
establishments connected with the
business in this city. 1t is well
supplied with stores and churches
to minister both to things temporal
and things spiritual. 1t has a very
beautiful and romantic country
back of it. The place is located
about 100 miles south of Mackinaw
upon Thunder Bay, at the mouth
of Thunder Bay river. The wa
tiers of the Bay are so clear that
the rocky bottom can be seen in
water thirty feet deep. In it are
several beautiful islands, greatly
resorted to by visitors for fishing
and picnics. Upon the shores OF
the Bay is the Fletcher House, a
very large and convenient hotel
which can accommodate comfortably
at least $50 persons. The rooms are
large and well furnished. The whole
house is heated by steam and ligb'-
ed by ea'. Mr.. Fletcher, its Nv g.,
has proved all the modern appli-
ances for ease and enjoyment.
Each story is intersected by broad
halls and with wide pleasant piazzas.
The hotel is now kept by Mr..
Loomis, late of Milwaukee, in q
style suited to the design of the
house and the guests, who are from
all parts of the Union. The landlord
and his clerk, Mr.. Boon, are courte-
Gus and intelligent gentleman,
who labor for the pleasure Of their
guests. The tables are well sup
piled with the best of eatables, and
well served by active and obliging
walters. The sick especially, have
every attention paid to their wants.
For those who are not sick but de-
sire rest and recreation, this is q
very pleasant place to come to, be-
cause with its other attactions il
has excellent society. But what
must make this place hereafter for
ever great resort is its spring,
whose magnetic and mineral prop
critics arc unequaled by any known
in the world. The spring is prob
ably more highly charged with
electricity than any other known
magnetic springs because IL con-
tains a greater quantity of minerals
that would hold electricity
Among these are sulphur, slick and
iron, and the water is particularly
efficacious in curing paralysis,
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
diseases, and those Of the liver or
kidneys, bot Is not good for lung

the Conventions, at the ballot-bo,
it will manifest itself, and while
owing to the vast machinery Of
power welded by the Chandler
ring in this district, it may be i'm
possibly to defeat Mr.. Bradley,
there will be an opposition at the
polls that will astonish him, and il
the right man is pitted against him
the odds are not so largely in his
favor.
The people of the Eighth District
who are in favor of a return to
honesty in our National councils do
not want n. B. Bradley reelected.
He is Chandler man and whatever
the bloodletting Senator from
MICHIGAN dictates Mr.. Bradley is
bound TO obey. He is an ardent
advocate of the Grant dynasty,
and his reelection is to prop up
the power which has sapped the
very vitals of the people. II the
Republican party is retained in
power we shall have four years
more of official rottenness, four
years more of bayonet rule at the
South, and an endless array of
Credit Mobiler, Sanborn, District
Of Columbia jobs, which have dis
graced the country for the past ten
years.
Their local reasons as well offer
an insuperable objection to the re-
election of Mr.. Bradley. He is in
every way Bay City man, and has
pent so far as to secretly connive
against the interests of the Sagi-
nav valley at large in railroad
scheme, which is totally imprac-
ticable, ria Bay City, but which he
endorsed and labored for rather
han to incur the displeasure of {
clique of Bay City politicians. We ;
want a man in Congress to repre- ,
ent the whole II b h District and s
lot any favored locality; a man {
vho is not sectional; a man who is
hroughly independent and who |
oes not speak through and with c
he permission of Zach. Chandler. v
here are such men in the Eighth g
district, and if the people awaken ?
o realizing sense of what is of a
ital Importance to their own inter- C
SITS, the way is clear. Will they h

Special dispatches to Republican
papers speaking of the inspection
tour of the Senate Naval Commit
tee, say that the net result of the
costly trip will propably be a re-
port to Congress in favor of abol-
ishing the navy yards at Washing
ton and New London, the former
because it is improperly located at
point difficult to reach, and the
latter because it was started as a
political necessity. 1t is far more
probably, We think, that the trip will
be absolutely barren of any results
whatever, except so far as the plea
sure it has contributed to the SEN
atorial junketers can be considered
a result. Both the navy yards
mentioned as likely to be recon-
mended to be abolished are useful
as political az mails, If nothing else ;
and Notwithstanding the twadd'e
now being poured out upon the
public that the Republican party
reforms abuses it will be
strange if the committee recon-
mends the reformation Of any
abuses which are for the benefit of
the Republican party, and it will
be stranger still If Congress up
roots any such abuses, unless it is
driven to it.

on living issues, the people are
treated to the old stereotyped no.
sannas about the party's earlier
services. Instead Of making a
bold and advancing front against
all opposers, it is content to lay be-
hind the bulwarks and palisades OF
its past record. Cowardice on the
temperance and suffrage questions
has prevented the leaders of the
party from Selling the arms which
now must fall into the hands of the
enemy.

years ago, when after being con-
fined to my house five weeks by
acute rheumatism, / came here and
in one week went home well. AT

four weeks when l came, and be-
fore left two weeks after, he left
completely cured. A number OF
other cases of almost as wonderful
cures came to my notice. This
summer saw woman who from
rheumatism and resulting in paraly-
sis las she told me herselfJ had not
walked for three years, and when
she came here, two weeks before,
had to be wheeled to her meals and
the baths in chair. Within a
week after / came she walked on
to the Mackinaw boat up steep
gangway plank, almost completely
cured. Another case Of rheuma-
tism almost as wonderful / witness

two years. These were all cases
incurable by medical aid and given
mp as hopeless. On the 3D. of

knee became contracted and cold
md apparently lifeless, insomuch

The vote at the recent election
in Kentucky was quiet a heavy one
for contest in which there was
nothing calculated to arouse
any enthusiasm. The vote re-
ceived by the Democrat candid
ate for Clerk of the Court Of APP
peals is about $4,000 larger than
that cast for Horace Greeley in
1872, and equal to that by Horatio
Seymour in 1868. 1t is smaller by
10000 than Leslie's vote in the
Gubernatorial election of 1871, but
the contest in that year called out
an unusually full vote. The indie
pendent candidate for clerk, who
drew his support chiefly from Re-
pudlicans, received vote slightly
in excess of three-ffths of that
polled for Grant in 1872. The ma
ority given the Democratic can
lidate-upward of 6O,OOO-is an
enormous one, even for Kentucky,
Ind indicates that there is no
doubt each of the ten Congress
'ional districts will be carried by
handsome majorities by the Dem
,cratic candidates in November.
Nothing will prevent this result
Except the presence in the Con-
yressional districts of independent
Democratic candidtes for Congress.

Good Men 10 the Front.

The Executive Committee of the Tax
payers Convention meets to-day, in
Charleston. 1t has grave duty to per-
form. It must determine whether the
time has come to call the Convention to-
gether. In view of the public griev-
auces, and OF the earnest purpose so
widely manifested to seek efficient and
peaceful remedies for them, it can hardly
hesitate in its action. It is time to
count the cost Of our present State Co.
vernment. It is time to determine who.
ther any relief is possible. what it is.
and when and how we shall seek it. AS
urged by US, when frat alluding to the
possible action of the Committee, We
have only to suggest to it, that it en-
large the representation; that it call for
an equal number of delegates fresh
from the people, to act with the old
members; that the body be made strong
in numbers, intelligence, character, de-
termination and discretion. We need
the services of the best mon in South
Carolina in this grave crisis OF our
affairs.
