March 18th, 1875.

ED. REPURLICAN.-COld winter
seems to be over, and spring is COM
ing slowly. Monday and Tuesday
were quite soft, sun-shining, days,
causing the snow and ice to run, so as
to stop travel in some places by high
water. Winter wheat in places looks
well, and farmers are making ready
for spring work. Schools are closing
all over the county. and movers and
renters are changing places. The Sc
we're winter has given many severe
colds, coughs and ~hoarscness, giving
great annoyance to singers, teachers,
and preachers, and causing some
deaths. On the 9Th inst, near Le-
Damon. 6 miles south of Stewartsyille,
Mrs. Mary Boggs, wife of Berry
Creek, died, aged about 60 years, a
worthy member of the Baptist
Church, and a native of Kentucky.
The burial and funeral took place the
next day, at the Lebanon Baptist
Church, Rev. d. G.. Saunders ,preach-
ed the funeral sermon.
At the same place on Sunday, was
an ordination. Geo. W. Everett, a
licentiate in the Baptist Church
there, was we'll and carefully exam-
ined by Elder Asa n. Bird, of Liber-
tv, and d. G.. Saunders, and found
we'll qualified for the Gospel minis
try, and so was set apart for that
work. Elder Bird preached the ser
mon, and Elder Saunders gave the
prayer and benediction by the candi-
date. The singing class of Prof. Chute
there gave us some good music from

THE FORCE BILL.

The bill just passed by the third
termers in the House of Representa-
tives meets the disapproval of Repub-
licans in all the Northern States. The
ablest members of the Republican
party in Congress voted against the
measure, and their course is Endorsed
by the people. AS was asserted by the
advocates of the bill, it is purely par
tisan and essentially Grant. In the
States of Arkansas and Louisiana, from
which Republican Investigating com
mittees recommend the withdrawal OF
Federal troops, the President may at
will suspend the writ of habeas corpus,
set the civil courts aside and place the
liberties of the people in the hands of a
shoulder-strapped satrap acting under
the direct orders of the President and
his Cabinet. The bill also empowers
the President to control elections by
the appointment of Deputy United
States Marshals and ballot box Super
visors, with full power to count ballots,
supervise returns and arrest persons
in all the States of the Union. With
such law ON the statute books of the
nation and Grant a candidate for re-
election, who can doubt the result of
the next election in the Southern States?
1t was hoped for awhile that the re-
verses of the Republican party last
November would drive Grant from the
field in 1875, but by the provisions of
the Force bill he can through his Mar
sbals manipulate election returns to
suit, and force himself upon the people
for four years more.

WALKING ON THE WATER.

Captain Boynton, an American, who
went to England few weeks since to
exhibit the efficiency of his life-pre-
serving dress, has astonished the Lon
doners by his achievements on the Ser
pentine and the Thames. On the 20th
of January, says the London News, he
excited the wonder of thousands OF
persons by floating from Mapping to
Vauxhall in his waterproof suit. 1t
may be safely said that never before
was old Father Thames so defed and
set at naught by mortal; its depths had
no terrors to the man who committed
himself to them, and its yellow tide no
power to resist his advance or check
his progress. The scene is described
as follows:
Captain Boynton started with a
flood tide from Mapping Old Stairs.
All the begrimed lighters thereabouts
were crowded with workmen, just ar
rived from the yards and shops on the
other side, and the bargees and water
men, young ana old, looked on open
mouthed at the gentleman who, en-
casing himself in an armor of India
rubber, walked into and along the
river without touching bottom; who
could not sink lower than his breast,
had he tried ever so hard, and who, by
the aid of light, double bladed canoe
paddle, set off on his journey, followed
by fleet of boats, and loudly cheered
by the amazed and delighted specta-
tors. The Thames, however, ruffled
by smart wind against "a heavy tide,
was q much severer test than the
streamless Serpentine, yet nothing
could be more complete than the sue
cess of the trip. Rough or smooth. it
matters nothing to the American
Guardsman, and the spectator is soon
possessed of absolute confidence in the
safety of the invention. Blowing his
fog-horn, or whistle, using his ak,
smoking his cigar and waving his ban
ner, his voyage was quite triumphal
water progress, and the voyageur SEEM
ed to take special delight in treading
his way amongst shipping and boats,
taking the arches where the current
was most dangerous. Once or twice
he purposely allowed himself to foul q
barge or the buttress of bridge, in one
instance shooting like an arrow under
the stern, and between two boats tow
ing behind. Easy it was to see that,
clad in one of these suits, man may
venture where a boat could never go,
and perform services Of the highest
advantage to humanity. The wonder
expressed in the faces Of the sailors
staring over the bulwarks Of the crowd
ed shipping to the Pool, or on board
the river steamers and barges drift
westward was not the least comical and
interesting feature Of the journey, and
the omnibus and cab men pulled up
ON every bridge until the bold adven-
turer had passed"
