The democratic House of Representa-
tives, are sweeping out of office all re-
publicans within their reach, as was to
have been expected, but when they re-
move one armed Union soldiers and ap-
point ex-rebels in their places, they go a
step further than the more considerate
democrats themselves desire. The re-
publicans however need not complain,
If the democracy, in developing their
policy, show it simply to be the restora-
ton of the old rebel and secession ele-
ment to their former power, the united
vote of the Union soldiers in the north
ern states, will be very likely to settle
the next presidential election.

A Charley Ross Excitement

There is a sort ofCharley Ross excite
ment in Western Massachusetts. Some
weeks ago tramp named John Riedon
enticed away from his home thirteen
year old son of F. p Gowdy, of Schico,
CT. Rierdon, the "hired man, was dis
charged for some effense, and retaliated
by persuading his employers young son
to run away with him taking 500 and
from that time to the present, despite
diligent search, no trace of the boy has
been found. Mr.. Gowdy has just visited
the Amherst authorities, and there are
many things that lead him to identify
the missing Worthington tramp with
Rierdon, in which case there is little
hope that the lad is living He was a
delicate child, and the theory is that
the man has murdered him for the mon
ey taken. The parents have been con-
stantly searching for their child, these
many weeks, and Mr. Gowdy was so
overcome in telling his story that a
friend had to finish the narrative for
him.

A JUDICIAL ANEcDoTE.-A little in
cident occurred during the proceedings
of the court, the other day, which shows
that Chief Justice Pierpont still has an
appreciative sense of humor and that he
is not unwilling to indulge in it to a linn
tied extent and in a quiet way. An en-
try had been made upon the clerks dock
ct on representation of one attorney that
both parties to suit were agreed in it,
and it was read for the approval of the
court, when the attorney for the other
side arose in somewhat excited man.
ner, and looking out from under his shay
gy eve brows, denied any such agreement.
Says he, When be asked me to consent
to such proposition asked him if he
thought i was a fool Whereupon his
Honor, with curious twinkle in his eve.
demurely inquired, And did you come
to an agreement upon that proposition p
Ii was some time before the laughter
which prevailed the court room subdued
so that the business could be resumed

The third term humbug had fresh
siring by the vote of the House on that
question. 1t so happens that the Con
stitution has left this matter in the hands
of the people where it ought to be, and
it is their right to elect a man president
once, twice, thrice, or not at all. There
is nothing at the present time and has
not been to indicate the denomination of
President Grant, by the. republican par
ty, but like the ghost of Bancho it is a
constant apparition to certain class Of
soreheads who don't seem to be comfort
ed even since the great vote against a
third term" given by the democratic
House, as though that house would be
expected to favor the election of Grant
or any other republican 1t will be fortu-
nate if next year we elect as good as
man for president as we now have,
and if we can get better one, so much
the better.

MANCHESTER, Iowa,
Dec. 18th, 1875.
Mr.. EDITOR We are having very
nice weather indeed. We had a cold
spell in November, about Thanksgiving
time, and then it came off pleasant the
ground thawed out so that we plowed
the 9th day of December it seemed like
spring to see the farmers blowing. We
are having another cold spell yesterday
and to-day has been quite cold. The
thermometer was 10 below zero this
morning, but is moderating down so that
it is quite comfortable have had no
snow Of any account,-a fury of snow
but not enough for sleighing.
Our crops were very good. Wheat,
oats and barley were good corn was
failure in some parts of the county. On
sandy soil it was good, but we had so
much rain in the spring, that on black
loamy soil they could not work the corn
and 1t did not amount to much. Pro
duce brings good price for this coun-
try, at the present time-wheat from so
to 80 cents per bushel, oats % to 80 cts,
barley % to 80 cents, corn 25 to 30 cts.
pork, live weight, 6 cents per pound.
dressed, cents beef, live weight, q
and 3 cents per pound lutter 20 to %
cents per pound cheese 123 to is cts
80 you see the farmer is doing very well
this year; but labor is SO dear that il
takes good share of the produce to paw
the hired help. We had to pay for har-
vest help $3.50 to $500 per day month
hands S1S to $50 per month. 1t paws
best to raise corn, cattle and hogs in the
West. The farmers are going into the
dairying business quite strongly. Cream
cries are getting quite common here in
the West. They give us so cents hun
dred for our milk through the hot wealth
er and the spring and fall they pay 80
cents to one dollar per hundred and give
back the sour milk, which we find a good
help in raising pigs. B.sB.

On Saturday a one armed Union
soldier, formerly doorkeeper of the
House, was discharged, and his place
supplied by an ex-confederate. He took
a hasty glance around the scene Of his
former comfortable life, and buttoning
up his jacket, made Decline for the de-
partment of the Interior, where he laid
his case before the Secretary, and asked
to be appointed to clerkship. Chan
dler was very sorry, but there was no
vacancy. But urged the shrewd APP
plicant, "Mr. Secretary, there is a dem
ocrat holding an Office in your depart
ment." The name was given, and the
democrat being sent for, speedily made
his appearance. " Are you democrat?"
asked Chandler. Il am sir" was the
reply. Then" responded the Secreta-
ry, q think you had better swap places
with this gentleman, and in a iifrv
the exchange was made Washington

CHEAP WASHING AT WAsHTSaToN
A Congressman vouches for the follow.
ing az an actual conversation between
two new members of the majority. which
ne could not help hearing the other day
IN the House restaurant. After some
comparison of domestic arrangement for
the season, A. inquired: What have
you done about washing ?" ooh" said
b. have made an excellent arrange
ment for that / have got a first-rate
negro woman, real good woman think
and have made bargain with her for
the season at dollar dozen %" Well"
responded A. " am not quite certain
whether my arrangement is as CHEAP as
that or not | have made a BARGAIN
with woman to do all my washing for
the season for a dollar and a half q
month but I'll watch it for the first
month, and if | find your bargain is
cheaper, III try and get your woman to
DO mine too. Speaker Kerr ought TO
have been informed of this conversation
N time for his committees. If those two
men are not put on the way and means
gross injustice will be done to the finan-
nal genus of the House.

In some remarkable instances in
which the brain has received an inju.
~ suddenly. interrdpting its action,
it has resumed its operations, on the
recovery of health after prolonged
interval, at exactly the point here
they were broken of. During the
battle of the Nile, a Captain received
a blow on the head which struck him
sense]ess while he was in the act of
delivering an order. He was picked
up unconscious, and in that condition
conveyed to England and to the
::Greenwich Hospital. where he lay
like ian inan,mate vegetable" for hf
teen months. The operation Of tire.
'panning was then resorted to, and, as
the piece Of the skull that had been
pressed in upon the brain was raised
from it, consciousness instantly re.
turned to the man, and he rose up in
bed, and, IN a loud tone of command,
finished the. order he was issuing at
the moment the dreadful accident
laid him low.

MISCELLANEOUS:

There is . difference Of opinion
between city and country people on
the subject Of dogs. The question
Of taxing them as luxury has ex-
cited considerable discussion in Ohio
and Texas. In Ohio the cities and
towns are largely in favor of a pro-
hibitory dog tariff; while the farmers
Of the country are decidedly opposed
to it. In Texas there is q similar is
sue. In that State the wealth of COL
ored citizens consists largely in dogs.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
the dog will enter into national poll
tics.

The German Empire will have
q deficit of 100000 thalers, in
1876, unless some new source of rev.
enue is found or some old one made
more productive. Both methods are
to be tried. Operations on Change
are to be taxed and the excise-duty
on beer is to be raised. The latter ia
dubious expedient. An increase in
the price of beer at Frankfort, in
1873, caused some serious riots. The
military had to be let loose on the
mob.
