out. He has enjoyed more liberty,
more comforts, more luxuries than
thousands of honorable men who
are comfortably well off: Because
he is big thief, because he stole by
wholesale, he was treated like king.
Who ever heard Of a poo, wretch
that stole to supply his necessities,
or to keep the family he loved from
suffering, being taken out of jail for
an airing? Why should this more
criminal thief be made an exception.
If justice is done, those who have
had charge of Tweed should be made
to suffer the penalty of his crime.

Hay Creek Sociable.

Editor Grange Adoance:
One of the most sociable parties ever
witnessed in the town of Hay Creek
was held at the residence of Mr.. Archi-
bald Rose on the evening of Dec. lst,
1875, in which many neighbors and the
principal officers of Hay Creek Grange
participated, the objects to be accom-
plished embracing two features.
First, Mr.. Daniel Sanders and family
being about to leave Minnesota for
their new home in Texas, they were i'm
PEELED by generous motives to some
thing more substantial than a mere
goodbye to their neighbors, brothers
and sisters of the grange, by providing,
with the assistance of Mrs. Rose, a sub.
stantial oyster supper and other good
things such as the sisters of the Order
have secured for themselves reputation
for providing. This part Of the pro.
gramme passed off merrily, though the
many appetites lost failed to relieve the
spacious, groaning table.
Secondly, after hours socially spent,
the members of the grange took this op-

must consist of thousands of barrels
or nothing. In short, so far as the
staple products of the State are con-
cerned, let there either be a grand
display or none at all. We are by
no means sure that it would not be
wise policy for the State to expend
$4,000, as proposed, in making a
proper display at that exhibition.
Still, while we say this, we must
confess that we are far from being
an enthusiastic believer in that big
show. 1t will be much more ad
vantageous to Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia, and to the railroad and
steamboat lines leading thence, than
to anybody else, and it's ultimate re-
suit may be more harm than benefit
to the country generally. But it
cannot be prevented. 1t has gone
too far for that. And now, it is the
part Of true wisdom to use it, as far
as it is capable of being used, to
promote the welfare of our own
State. Hence, we are forced to
favor the proposition which Mr.. Hall
of the Dispatch gets credit for hav-
ing made. Let the legislature make
a generous appropriation, so that
our State may not be behind the
others at the show.

The Old Bond SwindIe,

IL IS well known that We adVOcat-
ed the settlement of the old railroad
bonds by the sake of the 100000
acres of internal improvement lands,
and that we have always held the
opinion that the State will ultimately
pay those bonds. Our policy has
been to settle with the bond-holders
on the best terms that could be
made; not because the debt was
justly due, but because the bonds
bear witness on their face that the
faith of the State is pledged for their
redemption, and one unacquainted
with their history, must naturally
conclude from such testimony that
the State does repudiate an honest
debt.
Notwithstanding this, we can have
no sympathy with the loud-mouthed
brawlers, who take delight in detrac-
ting from the fair name of the State,
because Of its unwillingness to pay
these bonds. Such refusal is not
reputation. Equitably the State is
not bound to pay these bonds. The
issuance of them was an arrant
swlndle; and though the people did
agree to it, it is we'll known that
they were deceived into consenting
and that those who so deceived
them were the same persons to whom
the bonds were issued and who still
hold the major part of them and the
railroads as we'll. For the State to
pay them now Is for it to give to
these swindlers the money for which
they Perpetrated the wrong!
1t would be we'll for those who
are bowling reputation to remem-
Der that there are two sides to this
question, side of policy and a side
of justice. While policy dictates
that the bonds should be redeemed
and cancelled at the least possible
cost, justice declares that the bond
holders should be made to surrender
what they obtained by fraud, and
punished for what constitutes moral
ly a case of treason against the
State.

On last Monday, at a mf

On last Monday, at a meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal Sabbath
School Union, in Boston, where
nearly 800 persons were present,
Bishop Haven urged as a measure of
relief for the public, that General
Grant ought to be nominated for a
third term. He must either be
firmly welded to the opinion that
the hair of the dog is cure for the
bite," or he must be a democrat in
disguise, who, believing that Grant
can be beaten for third term, wants
him nominated in order to secure
democratic success. We prefer the
latter hypothesis. But in all candor
we ask, does it not look a little
amiss for clergyman, in a strictly
ecclesiastical body, to bring in the
subject of politics? It seems so to
us and we cannot help thinking that
such conduct is injurious to the soci-
ETY. which permits it and to the re-
ligion professed. We do not object
to ministers having political opinions
nor to their expressing them, but
doubt the propriety of their doing
so on occasions like the above.

Boss Tweed Vamosed.

Boss Tweed, Of New York, has
escaped! He didn't break jail and
run like a common thief. Oh, no!
He managed the affair better. He
persuaded Warden Dunham and
Jailor Hogan to take him out for an
airing. He had a headache. Close
confinement disagreed with him: So
Durham and Hogan sympathized
with the old rogue and procured
carriage and took him out riding.
Then, after an airing, the Boss
wanted to dine, and Dunham and
Hogan wanted to dine, and they all
dined together at the "Boulevard, -
that isn't the name Of the Jail, but of
a fashionable restaurant. After din
ing, the Boss felt elegant and want
ed to call on his wife and daughter,
and Denham and Hogan wanted to
see his wife and daughter and they
all went to the residence of Mr..
Douglass, the Boss son-in-law, on
Madison avenue.
After a brief visit with his son-in-
law and son, in the downstairs
apartment, the Boss wanted to go
upstairs to see the ladies. Here's
where Dunham and Hogan missed
it. They didn't want to 60 upstairs.
It's probable that Mr.. Douglas kept
his wines downstairs, and these
jailers beng thirsty souls staid by
the whiskey. By-and-by, they thought
it was time to get back to jail, and
as the Boss did not come back, they
sent his son to call him. That duti-
full gentleman did his errand dutifully
but he soon rushed back into the
room where the officers were, filled
with CONSERVATION, and in an un.
earthly whisper shreiked the startling
words: Father isn't there. Then
the officers turned pale, and the son
and son-in-law tore around and jerk
ed the hair out of their own heads
and declared that they were ruined.
The intelligence of the old thiefs
escape soon got back to Jail, and
Inspector Thorne started out all the
police to hunt for the fugitive, and
Sheriff Connor offered $4,000 re-
ward for his capture, and Dunham
and Hogan made statements of how
it was, and amongst them they soon
searched every place in New York
and within twenty miles of it, where
Boss Tweed wasn't and they didn't
find him. He had either skeedad-
died or hid. His trial in the six mil
lion suit was to begin on Monday
and he didn't want to attend. It
is too irksome. He couldn't stand
the excitement. It made his head
ache. He was tired of confinement,
too, and didn't want any more Of it.
So he didn't get found.
What farce-a bagatelle-this
imprisonment of VIM. M. Tweed
has been! He has never been pris-
oner as the law contemplates. His
detention has been sham through

the number were from the Western

informed US that entire counties had

and their owners were trying to keep
them alive by cutting down tree tops for
them to browse upon. He said that
