Among the new men who made very
strong speeches were Tremaine, OF
N. Y, E. r. Hoar, of Mass, and
Judge Williams, of Mich, who were
all opposed to imitation. Conger, of
Mich, distinguished himself in a
strong and eloquent speech on the
other side, and on the whole the
State of Michigan came we'll to the
front in the intellectual tournament.
Randall, of Pa, E. II. Roberts, of
N. Y, and Gen. Garfield, of the old
members, opposed imitation earnest
ly, but the House under the lead OF
Butler, decided to postpone the bill
to Tuesday, when Butler will move
to substitute the Senate bill for an
increase of currency.

FRUIT prospects in Southern ILL
nois were never better. A dispatch
from Makanda says: "The peach
crop now promises to be enormous;
and this fact, in view of the death
and destruction to orchards north
of Centralia, wrought by last win
ter's frosts, must have q telling eff
feet upon our finances. Apples,
pears and ounces are always safe
when the peach is; 90 that we also
look for : large yield in these de-
partments."

ton of the Michigan Legislature;

further tax payments so long as they
are unrepresented, and the argu-
ments for woman suffrage cmana-
ting from the temperance agitation

he did on Thursday, but no one was
damaged by it.
Solicitor Banfeld was before the
committee on Wednesday, and tes-
tilted in substance that all he did in
the Sanborn business, was done un-
der instructions from Boutwell, and
Richardson, and that he had con-
versations at different times with
them and there was no such thing
as "routine F" in the matter as de-
scribed by Mr.. Richardson. This
changes the aspect of the case as
given above, and how the Secretary
will explain the discrepancy re-
mains to be seen. There is great
excitement on the case as it stands,
and the quidnuncs all had it for
some days that Secretary Richard
son was about to leave once more,
and that Delano was to take his
place, but he "sticks," and shows
more "true grit" in this direction,
than Delano cares to see. The
President says he likes him, and
that being SO, Richardson doesn't
propose to fly because some one
wants his place; nevertheless great
many members of Congress are of
opinion that Gen. Grant wants De-
lano in the Treasury, and will nomi-
nate him as soon as he is satisfied
that he will be confirmed, of which
there is doubt. There was very
able debate in the House on Thurs
day, upon the Currency Bill, which

ing talent of that body, and it was
quite . relief to have . discussion

Holloway for Congress.


The West Grant Advocate in It's last
issue published very long article
commenting Senator Holloway's abil-
ity for Congress. So far as it relates
10 the character and qualifications OF
our worthy townsmen we can endorse
every syllable of it. Much OF the artl-
cle seems to be covert or direct at.
tack upon Senator HIS competitors
which no one would feel like condem-
ming and censuring more emphatlcally
than the Senator himself. We omit
those portions of the article, believing
that neither of the candidates has a
right to appropriate to himself all the
honesty. the one all the integrity and
the other ali the brilliancy that may
belong to the trio. Either of the Re
publican candidates whose merits are
now being discussed would do honor
to his district as a member of the
House of Representatives, and it will
not advance the interests of either
candidate when a friend of one dero-
gates from the reputation of another.
We extract as follows:
"Among the important offices to be
filled by the people as decision OF
the ballot box, at the coming fall cleo
ton, is that Of Representative in Con-
press. We have already presented to
our readers, as the most suitable man,
the name OF our present State Sena-
tor, j. G. Holloway. We present this
name because we want an honest man
to represent us, and because we know
full well that to fill our offices with
men of such metal would be to cure
effectually the ills Of which we herein
complain, We wish to present to the
farming and producing classes a point
which they have not properly consld-
cred. 1t seems that this Congression-
al district in common with many 9TH
ers, has from term to term been rep.
resented by members of the legal pro-
fession. There is nothing necessarily
wrong in electing a lawyer to an i'm
portant Office, but to concede to them
as a class a right to monopolize all Of
fetal positions and emoluments, is de-
cidedly wrong, foolish, and detrimen-
tai to the interests of the producing
classes. Again we would like to ask
this large community of producers, if
they really think and are willing to
confess thatin all their numerous ranks
there is not one man who possesses
honor and brains enough properly to
represent them Further we would
ask our friends on the farms and in the
shops, if they think those large and
special interests which come to their
homes, ana decide SO fully their social
and financial condition of the class,
are likely to fare any better in the
hands of lawyers, than when entrusted
with a man selected from their own
ranks. We repeat that in our owl
opinion Mr.. Holloway is the peoples
best and truest Representatives"

A Word to Republicans.

The following from the Darling
ton Republican is written in the in
forest OF the Republican party, not
at the dictation of any particular
candidate for Congressional honors
The question as to whom shall next
represent this district in the national
legislature is being considerably dis
cussed by the press, and an increas-
ing interest is manifest among the
people. The men spoken of, with or
without their consent, are quite nu-
nervous; there being, probably, a
larger number of names under con
sideration by the leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party, than have been men
toned by the Republicans. This
may be accounted strange, as hereto
fore the trouble with the opposition
has been rather to find good man
to take the nomination than to select
from the number who were willing
to become candidates. The explana-
ton to this may be found in the great
change in the strength Of the parties,
as indicated oy the vote at the last
election. The Democracy have hopes
OF carrying this Congressional Dis
trict next fall Hence, the plentitude
of candidates. Democratic hopes, in
the last twelve years, bave very sell
dom been realized. Their antlcipa-
tions have almost invarioly been
blighted, and when that party mas
hoped with most ardor, its defeat has
been most overwhelming. We pre-
diet history will repeat itself again
this fall. There is no probability Of
Democrat going to Congress from
the third Congressional district of
Wisconsin for the next two years.
The Republican party will do well
to act that its unity will remain un-
broken. In soliciting candidate re-
gard should be had for the best inter-
ests of the whole district; for the
record, ability and character of the
candidate the question OF locality
should not BIO allowed to nominate or
prevent nomination; it should,
however, have no inconsiderable
weight with the convention. But
this, as in all other matters pertain
ing to the nomination, will doubtless
receive the careful attention of the
Republicans who may be delegated
to select the candidate, and to then,
rather than to the mass of the dis
trlct. it belongs.

home All that could conduce to
make home lovely was there. Repu-
tation, converse with noble minds such
as fame draws around the hearthstone

companion whose very soul knelt each
moment in pure worship OF her al
mired husband, children whose smiles

Theodore Tito have sought or wish
ed
During those years the writer, on
one occasion, by chance question
turned the conversation upon Beecher,
who was then among the daily visitors
at Mr.. Titon's house. 'ls Mr.. Beech
er's inward life that which it seems to
those who hear him !? | have been at
loss to conceive how one whose con-
science is so sensitive as Mr.. Beecber's
seems, should boast himself to be the
happiest man living. Deep moral
sensitiyeness more often makes men
sad"
Mr.. Tlton answered, greatly to the
writer's surprise: "Mr. Beecher has
a keen intellectual discrimination on
moral questions, but he is personally
an epicure, a voluptuary, though of
the most refined sort, who does moth
ing-not even his preaching and pray
ing-from a sense of duty, but only
for the pleasure it affords him. II
it happens to make him happier to
follow any other form OF amusement,
he would pursue it. Doubtless at the
moment when you heard him declare
himself the happiest man living, be
felt so but scores of times has he
come to this house as to a den of re-
fuge, thrown himself down on that
sofa and groaned in misery. You
would have thought him the yeriest
wretch alive"
"Indeed, what was the cause Of his
trouble ?"
at is chiefly domestic. His wife
has no sympathy with his plans. She
is a commonplace, matter of fact
woman who ought to have wed a
merchantmen the great Beecher.'
| have had my own difficulties with
her, but those do not coler my judg-
ment. She has even followed me to
the front door and ordered me out OF
her house, while Beecher stood at the
top of the stairs and said Theodore.

Hazelton and the People.

The Prairie du Chen Union we'll says:
Mr.. HazeltOn's grafton at Boscobel
on the fourth of July, which should
be carefully considered. One was in
relation TO the people and the rail-
ways, and his position was gratifying
to his friends and showed that his
heart was in the right place-on the
side of the people. This position was
not unexpected by thl Sc who know
him, and paid attention to his course
in the Senate. long before this quas-
ton become OF any political signifi-
canoe. While representing tho peo-
pie of his county IN the state Senate,
he worked and voted for pro-cate
bill, thereby doing what he could IN
his official capacity as legislator to
prevent the railway companies from
Expressing the farmers. His record
on this question can be ascertalned
by an examination of the Senate
journal of 1871. Tho ideas expressed
by him SO earnestly and eloquently
at Boscobel, were not uttered for the
purpose Of pulling the wool over any
ones eyes. but were the true senti-
ments Of his heart, which he had
tried earnestly and faithfully to car
ry into practical effect years ago
when be had no earthly object in view
but to represent the interests of his
constituents.
When man has proven himself to
be one Of ability, and tried friend
of the people, no jealous demagogue
can make US believe that the words
Mr. Hazelton uttered on the fourth,
in behalf Of the rights Of the people,
are but the vaporings of a politician.
The next point is that while in the
Senate, be drew up an able and ex-
haustive report upon tho subject OF
arranging the difficulties between the
Fox river and the Green Bay and
Mississippi Canal Company and the
general government, in which be
recommended the plan of adjustment
which was finally adopted, and
whereby the government got the en-
tire control of the canal, making it
possible 20 carry out that grand inn
portance to the people of this State,
as well as the whole west.
This shows that Mr.. HazeIton is a
fitting representative of the people,
that he appreciates their needs that
he is in sympathy with their inter
estp, and that bis nomination for
Congress would be an honor to the
district and compliment to his hon
or and ability.

The Republican Party.

The Hon. Eugene Hale, of Maine,
in his acceptance of the Republican
denomination for Congress, says the
following of the Republican party, and
the work of the last Congress:
1t repealed the Salary bill, thereby
responding to nearly unanimous pub
lie sentiment.
1t revised and consolidated into
convenient and attainable form all the
various statutes of the United States,
giving in single volume what has
heretofore been searched for by law
yers and business men through seven
teen volumes.
It repealed the law which set afoot
the Sanborn contracts, and struck
down the denominations of the moiety
system.
1t provided for the distribution of
the money awarded by the Geneva
Tribunal, so that the actual losers of
vessels or freight by the Confederate
cruisers that were included in the re
port of the tribunal will soon receive
their money and interest. The State
of Maine will especially benefit by
this distribution.
Other sound measures might be IN
stanced, but have perhaps said
enough to show that no man should
assail the Republican majority in Con
gress without careful examination OF
its real work. That has only to be
realized, and | have no fear that it
will not be appreciated. 1t will do
us no harm to contrast all this with
the manifestations which have attend
ed the temporary reinstatement OF our
opponents in power in two OF the New
England States, Connecticut and New
Hampshire. If any honest Republi-
can thinks he has reason to find fault
with his party because ofcertain short
comings, let him look at these two
States under Democratic mis-rule, and
see whittier he is travelling when he
leaves shis old organization. If be
will come nearer home, let him read
the declaration of the aims and pur.
poses of the opposition in this State
found in the platform of the late Dem
ocratic Convention at Portland, where
in the dogma of free trade, pure and
simple, and direct taxation is laid
down, which means, if it means any
thing, that system Of taxation sho'd
be adopted that would treble the bur
ders of our taxpayers, admit to oul
coasting trade the vessels built by oul
provincial neighbors, and shut up il
silence and decay every shipyard or
our coast, which is just beginning t.
resume some of its old-time prosperity
