WITH all of the lights and informa

WITH all of the lights and informa-
ton obtainable to the contrary. the
Louisville Commercial says that 'trade
revives, times improve, money is cheap
and sound; all of which happens under
Republican rule" There is not one
word of truth in the statements made
BY thee Commercial. On the contrary,
trade is at low sbb, times grow har-
der, money is dear and unsound; all of
which happens under Republican mis-
rule. Every word of which is true,
and the Commercial knows it; yet. for
the purpose of making votes for the
Radical party, the editors of Republi-
can papers, North and South, would
blind the people so that they could
not see their own way clearly.

SOME of the Radical papers take
pains to inform their readers that the
Infidel Radio. ! and orator, Bob In
gersoll, who is speaking in the States
of Indiana and Ohio, for Hayes and
Wheeler, is a native of Massachusetts,.
1t was wholly unnecessary to give
such information, as the people of the
West and South are sensible enough
to know a tree by its fruits, and to
know where a Radical was born and
bred, by the character of his speeches
and the tone Of his sentiments. How
can a christian vote for any party
which makes Ingersoll one of its lead
ing opponents?

For seven years, civil engineers
have been undermining what is known
rs "Hell Gate" q large reef Of rocks,
in the East River, near the city Of
New York, which reef rendered it very
dangerous for vessels to pass through
the harbor to the city. On last Sun
day, the explosive materials were fred
by electricity, and the huge rocks
blown to atoms in a second. No dam
age was done to surrounding property.
1t is thought that this great work will
accomplish much good, and save i'm
mense sums OF money to the country,
by rendering the passage over the old
reef perfectly secure.
