HON. JOHN r. HARRIS:

We publish in this issue the speech
of Hon. Jno. t. Harris delivered at
the Democratic Mass Meeting in
Washington Judge Harris enters the
presidential contest confident of the
success Of the Tilden and Hendrick 5
ticket. He is we'll acquainted with the
leading lights Of both parties and has a
good opportunity to judge of the
strength of each.
The district which he has repre-
sented so long feel just pride in the
influence which he exerts in the eoun.
ellis of the nation. His constituents
will have the opportunity of sending
him to Congress FOR another term al
the same thne that they assist in the
election of Tilden and Hendricks. We
have h. ard intimations that Harris
would have opposition bu. do not
knew who viii be bis opponent. Al
far as we have been able to learn the
sentiment Of the people in this county,
they are satisfied that Harris has beer
a sober, faithful, honest and efficient
representative ana are willing to try
him again The only way to defeat
Judge Harris is to defeat the will o.
the majority OF the voters in his dis
trict.

A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress granting a pension of $50 per
month to Mrs Elizabeth Custer, widow
of General Custer. We think this is
very proper. Gen Custer lost his life
in the service of the United States and
it is the duty of Congress to extend aid
to those who have been deprived of
protectors by the loss of husbands in
their conntry's service. And at the
same time it would be we'll for Congress
to grant a pension to the widow OF
Peter Bell of Warren County, Va, a
staunen Union man during the late
war, and to the widow of John Traster,
a temporary resident of Warren Co,
from Pennsylvania. The husbands OF
these ladies', Notwithstanding their fdel
ity to the Union cause, were murdered
10 cold blood in the presence OF Peter
Bells son, by General Custer.

, GEN. Grant has taken one more step
in his downward course by kicking
Jewel from the cabinet. It is said that
Jewel was too honest for the adminis~
tratron. Grant defeated in his aspira-
tons for the third term, defeated in his
effort to control the nomination of the
Republican party, and defeated as he
will be in the choice Of the people for
president, is becoming deperate and
will not hesitate to do any silly act.
His day is past. His military glory
has passed away. His reputation as a
statesman was short lived. His insult
to Custer has rebounded with terrible
yehemenee and he is destined to go
out of the White House, ''unwept, un-
honored and unsung."

The Tribune salutes Grants strange
course with whole broadside of big
guns and number of scattering swivel
shots. In one editorial it says the Re-
publican party deserves its humiliation.
1t adopted at its National Convention
a resolution complimenting the Presi
dent. Thereupon the President i'm
mediately proceeds to disgrace the par
ty to the best of his ability. In another
it declares that the present attitude OF
the President is one no true American
citizen can contemplate without pain !;
and in third it expresses the opinion
that neither General Grant, Senator
Conkllng, nor any man regarded as
representing them, can carry New
York.

A VALUABLE REc1PE.-At the re-
quest of a correspondent the New
York Journal of Commerce repubhshes
the famous formula OF the so-called
'sSun cholera mixture" which many
years ago proved SO eficacious. The
following is the prescription: Tinet.
opii, tinet. capsici, tinct. rhei CO., tinct.
menth pip, tinet. campho, Mix equal
parts each In plain English, it con
sists of equal parts of tincture of opium,
red pepper, rhabarb, peppermint and
camphor, and the Journal says it is the
best remedy extant for summer COM
plant, dlarrhea, cramps in the. bowels
and similar ailments, and affords almost
instant relief. The dose is from three
to ten drops for child, according to
age, and ten to thirty drops for an
an adult, according to the severity of
the attack.

THE LIVES OF CUSTER AND HIS ORR
GERS INsURED.-Gen. Custer. with five
of his officers, were insured in the New
York Life Insurance Company Of that
city as follows: Gen. Custer $4,000,
Capt. Yates $4,000, Capt. Keogh $1O,-
900, Lieut.. Calhoun $4,000, Lieut..
Crittenden $4,000, and Lieut.. Porter
$4,000; in all $4,000. As these inr
surances were effected under special
provision made by the company named
for the benefit of army officers there
will be no trouble about prompt set
Element of the claims. Notwithstanding
they were killed in battle with Indians.

The Indiana Republicans are getting
scared. There are loud calls for a new
Republican candidate for governor
They say with the present candidate
defeat is inevitable. Republican news
papers demand a change and the
Independent papers predict inevitable
defeat unless Mr.. Orths name is taken
from the ticket. Wonder if it would
not be well to change names on
their National ticket too. Tilden and
Hendricks will prove too strong for
them.

The EUROPEAN WAR.

So accustomed have the ears of the
people become to runoFs OF war that
little attention has been given to the
insurreetioA of one or two Tarkish
provinces. The cannon have just ceas
ed their hostile roar in Spain, the
struggle near onr South Eastern coast
continues, and It rs only some unusually
large engagement that attracts our at"
tention to the troubles Of Cuba; our
neighbor in the Southwest whose normal
condition is war, revels in blood shed,
and the northern Sioux and Cheyennes
slaughter American soldiers by battal
ions. A bitter and relentless war Is
waged by Servia and Montenegro,
two provinces of European Turkey
against the Turkish empire. So long
as the war is confined to the parties
now engaged it is Of comparatively
little Importance. A few soldiers would
be killed. A few families and some
property would be destroyed, but the
vastly superior resources OF the empire
would finally secure success and the
provinces would be reduced to a con-
clifton worse than that in which they
were before the beginning of the war.
But the effect upon Continental Europe
and upon Great Britain gives to it an
air of Importance; for before the adjust
ment of the difficulty, Russia, Austria,
Germany and probably England may
be engaged. Russia evidently sympa
thizes with Servia and if she sees a
favorable opportunity Russian soldiers
will supply the place of servian troops
and the odds against Turkey will be as
great as they are now against Servia
and Montenegro. Russia would love
to punish her old enemy and nothing
would be more pleasant to the Gar
than the opportunity of extending his
empire to the Southern coast Of Turkey.
Whether Russia can step into the con-
test without disturbing that very delicate
subject of International Importance in
the eyes of all Europeans,-the balance
of power--is very doubtful, and from
the instruction which was caused by
the excessive taxation of Servia and
Montenegro two petty provinces, all
Europe may be ablaze with war whose
lurid flames will light up continents and
bring desolation and dispair to thousands
of now happy families. A very few
weeks will decide whether it is to be
confined to the parties now engaged or
to become war of such magnitude as
to excite the interest of the entire
world. England would prefer neutrality,
but if Turkey yields to the dominion Of
Russia, India, Englands pet, may be
threatened by the same power and it
may be easier as an ally of Turkey to
fight Russia than in protection of India
to fight the same power. These are
questions that exercise a wonderful
influence and though all Europe may
repose in peace, her rest may at any
moment be disturbed by an explosion
whose suddeness is only equalled by the
extent of its destructive results.

We have no heart to indite rhetoric
about Custer. We knew him intimately
and were familiar with his motives,
purposes, and feelings. He chafed under
departmental injustice, and was goaded
to his death by the miserable system
which Grant and Belknap have estab-
lished. There is no use mincing words
about it. The man was bounded like
dog. He was not given dogs
chance. The President is an accom-
plice to his murder and the immolation
of his command. The Republican
party is responsible for the disaster.
The whole affair was, more or less, a
set-up job, because Custer was not a
thief. All this talk abou. ''reckless
courage" is mere blind to cover up
villainy.-LoasisUile Courier Journal.

CHICAGO. July pa special from
Sioux City says: s'Indians arriving
there from the place where the battle
with Custer was fought give an account
of the barbarous treatment OF the
bodies of the deceased soldiers. Rain

dead body, pat it ON pole, and a grand
war dance was held around it. The
Indians were jubilant, boastfal and
sanguine of making better terms on
account of their SUCCESS.
