The Radicals of Oregon have re-
solved in favor Of the sovereignty of
the general government, which means
consolidation. But, like the Irish
mans chicken, they spoke too late.
Grant lacked the nerve or the sense to
strike for absolute power when his
party majority were ripe for the treason.
Now it is too late. That majority has
dwiudled and the people have resolved
to preserve, in form and spirit, the in

CURING CoRN-FODDER.-A farmer
in Ontario Co., N. Y, sowed oats broad
cast, in the usual amount, and then
drilled in corn. using three bushels of
corn to one of oats. When the oats
were ripe, the whole crop was cut like
grass, and the dry oats straw, absorb
ing the moisture of the stalks. render
ed the whole easily cured. One of our
correspondents. last year, stated that
he cured his fodder by placing it in the
NOW between alternate layers of dry
straw, and that his cattle and horses
deyoured the straw with as much relish
as the fodder. As corn fodder is a
difficult thing to cure when cut green,
these suggestions should be acted upon,
when fodder is put in the barn.

We think it pretty well settled now
that the Radical aspirants for the
Presidency will have to take back
seats, whilst the money kings nominate
Grant for the third term. Though the
strongest man of his party, he is too
weak to carry the monstrous third
term innovation, even with the whole
money power to aid him. The labor
ers, the farmers and mechanics who
constitute the majority of voters are
not bondholders, national bankers nor
Wall street spectators, and they find
money hard enough without the aid OF
contraction. The name of Grant has
no magic power to lure them to their
own financial ruin. The moDopolists
want third term and then an empire,
knowing that nothing short OF dcspo-
tism can prolong their rule as monied
aristCcracy.

Speaking of the Duncan & Sherman
failure, the United States Economist
says:
The long delay in covering the let
tiers of credits issued to American trav-
elers struck blow at the financial re-
putation of our banks from which they
will be slow to recover. There is a
general conviction that the time has
at length arrived for a departure from
the present usage on this subject.
These bills should be covered by cot
ton and grain, the same as other kinds
of drafts. As matters now stand the
holders of American letters of credit
are wholly at the mercy of the bank
ers. In England and the continent of
Europe there is such hostile feeling
to American firms that they will no
longer touch any of their securities.

Armed Bodies of Marauders Settling
the Law at Defiance.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. IA Globe DEM
ocrat special from Benton, Franklin
county, H., says: For some time past
body of men disguised in the Kuklux
style have been travelling over the
county, whipping peaceable citizens
and compelling them to perform any
act they dictated. Up to this time the
citizens have tamely submitted to these
outrages. But yesterday j. B. Mad
dox, one of the County Commissioners,
received information that some of these
marauders would visit his house and
whip him for not obeying the orders
they had given him. Maddox inform
ed Sheriff j. Il. Mason, who summon
ed 20 men, who secreted themselves at
Maddox's house, we'll armed. About
2 o'clock last night the Kuklux. ii in
number, made their appearance on
horseback, disguised in white robes,
high white hats and masked, and arm
ed with shot-guns and pistols. The
Sheriff slipped out when they came to
the house and ordered them to sur.
render. The leader of the band drew
his pistol and fired at the Sheriff, but
missed him. The Sheriff and posse
then ordered halt, when the band
shot, and then wheeled their horses
and attempted to escape. The posse
fired, and one man was MORALLY wound
ed and others injured; but all sue
ceeded in getting away except the man
fatally hurt. The names of others
were revealed by the wounded man,
who was captured, and the Sheriff and
posse are after them to-day.
Great excitement prevails, and the
citizens are determined to rid the
country of these marauders. A meet
ing was held by the citizens to-day and
resolutions adopted, and active meas
ures are being taken to bring the out
laws to justice. These desperadoes
are said to be some four hundred strong
in this county. Gov. Beverage has
one hundred stand of arms, and a mill
tary company is being formed, and a
bloody result NAV be expected.

me l am sustained in my assertion by
DeSouchet, in his recent pathological

IF we are to Judge of the increase in
the number of birds now, and thirty
years ago by either the quantity or
quality of the fruit. or Indeed anything
in the vegetable kingdom, then with
out exaggeration it may safely be set
down at fifty per cent. in favor of the
former, and such localities as where
the sight of bird us rare even in Il
days journey" must needs be limited
to the immediate vicinity of st. Beth
lehem.
When we compare the animal king
dom now with that of thirty years ago,
you will observe even a greater I'M
provement than in the vegetable. For
instance, compare the horses, cattle
and sheep of to-day with those Of that
period. l maintain that the live pre-
