many years Pension Agent In Philadel-
phia, and q shining light in the Union
League. He had lost a leg in the war
and his sufferings for the Union cause

Office. He defauIted recently, and the
powers that be are houifed to discover
that he did all his fighting on the
wrong side, and shortly before the war
closed, was put in Libby Prison, Rich

~ Bucket Chain Pump, manufactured and

Our pump meets everything objectionable in
other pumps brings up a stream one and one
half inches in dismater almost without effort; il
simple durable and cheap; it cannot get out OF
order. These pumps have been in use two years
and ten months without any perceptible wear in
either buckets or tubing. They produce the
most perfect agitation so necessary to pure
water. This pump applies the principle Of at
mOspheric air; OF, as IL IL faminarly called,
suction, by using the endless chain with but
three buckets IN a we'll or cistern. 50 arranged
as TO keep one in tube at a time, causing a con
slant flow Of water, thus raising twice as much
water in a given time as the cOmmOn break
pump, and with less labor. Il is warranted not
TO freeze, and the buckets are so constructed IS
TO be easily expanded in case Of wear.
Call and see one now in use at Hunts Store,

PREsTDENTIAL.


The NeU York World takes exception
to the reasons presented by several
Western and Southern Democratic pa
pers, wy the next candidate for the
Presidency should come from the
West. Among other questions which the
World declares are to determine who
shall be the candidate, is that of the
currency. 1t says that the contest
must be made upon a hard money plat
form, and intimates that any position
upon the money question that does not
bring us back at once to specie pay
ment, will invite defeat. That may be
the sentiment Of Eastern Democrats,
but IL does not apply to the Democracy
Of the great producing States lying
west Of the Alleghenies and south Of
the Potomac.
Our purpose, however, mot to dis
cuss the currency question Just now,
but to declare that IN the Judgment Of
the Courier, a platform ~embodying the
views Of bullionists touching the cues
ton Of an immediate return To specie
payments, would inevitably turn tens
Of thousands Of Western and Southern
Democrats away from the polls in
1876. The PrOminency which Gov.
TIlden, of New York, has been given
as a prospective candidate for the
Presidency, is unquestionably due to
the determination on the part of East
ern men that the Executive Department
shall be In the hands OF a man who will
certainly veto any legislation post
poning the resumption of specie pay
ments. We DO not apprehend that the
move will be successful. Tilden IS not
a name that would ring upon the air
like the fragment Of a glad tidIng, and
the gentleman who bears It has not I'M
pressed the country with his eminent
fitness for any position requiring great
craftsmanship. He is honest and he IS
a bachelor, for which decent and order
ly qualities and conditions he deserves
universal respect. But be viii lot be
the next President. Indiana must
have a chance to redeem herself from
the disgrace which the gentle Colfax
unwittingly and with folded hands
brought upon her. Indiana names
Gov. Thomas A Hendricks. -EraHs-
vIIc, Ind, Courier.
We have not copied the above from
the Courier for the purpose Of entering
into any discussion Of finance and cur
rency nor to take part for or against
either Tilden OF Hendricks. But sim
ply to say that It IS probable the next
session Of Congress viii settle the
questions Of finance and currency so
as to relieve the Democracy from dis.
sansions about them in the Presiden-
tiaI campaign. We viii say further
that the time has not yet come to
name the man to beat Grant. The
people in good time viii be very apt to
settle that question so that the poll
ticians cannot mistake. He may be
Tilden; he may be Hendricks; he may
be neither.

THE NelU York Tribune Of last Sat
urday contains the opening letter Of a
series on our national finances, from
the pen Of Hugh McCullocb, Secretary
of the Treasury under President John
son. The present letter deals with the
wonderful powers Of recuperation de-
veloped by France since the war Of
IS70-7l, pronouncing her financial
condition now 10 be in most respects
better than that of any nation in the
world" 1t Is also remarked as an
anomaly in financial history that "tbe
conquering nation, Germany, to which
an enormous indemnify has been paid,
has been, from the beginning Of the
payment Of the installments, subject to
greater financial disorder and cmbar-
rassment than the nation from which
the indemnity was eZacted.' In fu-
ture letters the able writer promises, as
a matter Of especial interest to the peo-
ole Of the United States, to explain by
what means France has been able TO r.
trie7e her credit, and tie secret Of her
r~ecupcr9tiye power.

says editorially
There seems TO be a misunderstand-
ing among the managers Of the sol
diers' reunion as to whether or not Con-
federate soldiers are to be permitted to
attend. The chairman Of the commit
tee on arrangements informs the
Times that the invitation extended to
Southern soldiers has never been re-
scinded: but the Times is IN receipt Of
communications from several members
Of the same committee, who insist that
1t has. Somebody who knows Just how
the matter stands should inform the
public if the soldiers Of the South Will
be welcomed or sighted at ~thercuni0n.
THE bitter contest between rival tel
egraph lines for the patent on sundry
new and important inventions, has de-
veloped serious charges Of corruption
against Wilbur, the Chief Examiner IN
the Patent Office. W. Z. Sawyer, one.
of che claimants, says he gave Wilbur
a certificate Of $1,000 stock IN the Ca
bic Printing Telegraph Company in
consequence Of the laIter's in~portuni-
ties, and through fear that he might
injurc him if not a~ppeased. Notwith-
standing this, he charges Wilbur with
procuring the insertion On his letters
patent Of the word "Ferro-Cyonide, -
instead OF .'Ferrid Cyanide, in order
that a claim by Edison Of the use Of
ferrid cyanide Of potassium IN the
preparation Of chemical telegraph re-
ceiving paper might be allowed.
THE KHorUjUc Chronicle asserts that
Judge Frazier was relieved of his dis
abilities by a Democratic Constitution
al Convention" This Is a mistake.
His disabilities were removed by act of
the Legislature Of Nov. II, 1869, two
months before the Constitutional Con-
vention met. The members of that
Legislature were Gle ;tcd under the
franchise law Of the Brownlow regime,
which DISTINGUISHED so many thousands
Of the people Of Tennessee; and further,
every member Of that Legislature had,
when he became a candidate, to take
what is known as the iron-clad oath.
These are the men who removed the
disabilities imposed upon Judge Fra
zier by . malignant partisan Legisla-
ture for simply performing a duty i'm
posed upon him by the law and his
oath Of Office.
