The GERMAN VoTE.-JoSeph Pulit-
Ter, formerly editor Of Carl Sehurz's
paper, and for some time his business
associate, has written a very sharp and
able review of Schurz's letter justify
ing his course in supporting Hayes.
In it he says; 81 know from the
most careful standardization that III
German newspapers in all parts of the
country, or over two-tht1ds Of all, in
number, and nine. tcnths in real circu-
lation and influence, are to-day sup.
porting not the candidate of Mr.. Schurz,
but Tilden and Hendricks. In fact the
number of such newspapers which
support Hayes and Wheeler is only
sixty-eight. The great majority of the
Germans Of the Union do not stand be-
hind Mr.. Schurz; they stand against
him."

A FAIR ELECrIoN.-It is probable
that the pending election will be the
fairest ever held in Nevada. There is
no United States Senator to be elected
and our electoral vote is hardly of suf-
fcient importance to call for the eX-
pending of a very large amount of
money by either party. In fact, it
seems to be settled that the people for
once will be allowed to vote just as
they please. This is something so ell
tirely new in the political history OF
Nevada that we are a little curious to
see what the result will be. 1t has
always been claimed that this State is
Democratic on a full and fair vote Of
the people. The coming election bids
fair to determine for a certainty the
truth or falsity OF this assertion; and it
may be added that the prospects Of the
Democracy were never brighter than
they are this year.

THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

Our Geographic dispatches state tina
the 1l6 towns heard from in Vermont
give Fairbanks, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, %, 702, and Bingham,
Democrat, l4,499. The same towns in
1874 gave Peck, Republican, 22,644, and
Bingham, Democrat, 9,66S. Strenuous
efforts were made on both sides to
bring every voter 10 the polls, and the
consequence has been a larger vote
than was ever before polled in the
State. A large Republican majority
was a toregone conclusion, and the
Democratic fight was only to diminish
that majority for the purpose of indi-
eating a reactionary sentiment against
the Republican Administration and in
favor of Democracy and Reform; while
the Republicans were equally active in
their eudeavors to keep their majority
up to the figues of the previous cleo
ton. The result rs far as is given in
the dispatches shows a larger proper
tionate Increase in the Democratic vote
than in the Republican, consequently
we presume that the unterritied of the
Green Mountain State feel that they
have achieved a victory.
The news from Arkansas is to the
effect that the Democrats claim the
State by a majority of from 10000 to
$1,000. Last year the aggregate vote
for Congressman in that Safe shows a
Democratic majority of ABOUT $4,000.
We have no news from the Georgia
election which came off on the 4th in.
slant, but the probabilities are that it
resulted in a Democratic majority of
from sc, 200 to 60, 900.

ing his fourth consecutive term in that body.
The Maine Democratic State convention, held
at Bangor last week, nominated John G. Talbot
for Governor and declared for Samuel J. Til

The committee appointed by the Cincinnati
Convention to notify Gov. Hayes of his nom
nation for President, visited Columbus the day
after the adjournment of the Convention, and
proceeded to the Executive Chamber, where
they were received by Gov Hayes.
Edward Mcpherson, of Pennsylvania, in
bMef speech, formally notified Gov
Hayes of his nomination. The latter repIea
as follows: "SIR-I have only to say, in re
spouse to your information that accept the
nomination. Perhaps at the present time, it
would be improper for me to say more than
this. although even now I should be glad
to give some expression to the profound
sense of gratitude feel for the confidence
reposed in me- by yourselves and those for
whom you act At future time shall take
occasion to present my acceptance in writing,
with my views on the platform" The delegates
were then personally introduced to their nom
inee, and spent considerable time with him,
informally conversing on various subjects.

A Child Carried Off by a Lion.

A recent dispatch from Laramie,
Wyoming Territory, says /: A party of
emigrants camped on Wednesday night
at Point of Rocks station. About 8
o'clock piercing scream was heard to
come from where three or four children
were at play, short distance from the
wagons, and on going to the spot it was
ascertained that child about three years
old was missing. A diligent search was
at once begun, and continued until about
II o'clock, but proved unsuccessful. At
daylight yesterday morning search was
resumed. At the place where the chill
dren were at play large tracks, supposed
to be that of a mountain lion, we're dis
covered. These were followed for miles
into large canon, where the child was
found on projecting rock some 200
feet high. After much difficulty the
little one was rescued from its periious
position. It's clothes were badly torn,
but aside from a few scratches on its
face the child was uninjured. There is
no doubt that the lion carried the child
to where it was found and went after
its cubs

Colorado and the Grasshoppers.

The grasshoppers that pretty nearly
cleaned out Colorado, last year, have ap-
peared again, this spring, IN appalling
swarms. A late letter thence says
"The farmers are fighting them by all
the means in their power. They sluice
them down the bitches with water,
gather them mp in heaps and burn then
for the water will only collect, and
will not drown, these very vital pests.
They set cans of coal-oil dripping slowly
at the heads of their bitches, and the
slightest touch of the oily film which
floats down with the running water de-
stroys the young grasshopper. They
drag the ground with huge harrows
covered with blazing brush, and the
flame scorches its tiny millions to death.
They draw papers or platforms, smeared.
with ter, along the fields, and the insects,
in troing to hop over, fall on the tar and
stick there. With ali these devices,
they only thin out the unwelcome Wis
itors. All Colorado is watching the re-
suit OF these efforts with chronological
interest. Will the farmers or grasshop-
pers come out ahead? Will the latter
fly away as soon as they develop wings;
and, if so, will other broods be brought
in by the strong prairie winds If the
crops fail again, look out for blue times
in Denver, which has no interests except
supplying mining districts and fleeing
summer visitors

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A Washington dispatch says; "Hunton has
postponed any further investigation of Blaine
for two weeks. He then will re-examine Null
igan and complete the work already begun"
Belknaps counsel have presented to the i'm
parchment managers a list of 1877 witnesses
whom they desire to have summoned for the
defense The list includes all the post traders,
by whom it is expected to prove that they did
not divide with him. Under the rule adopted
by the Senate, Belknap will have authority to
to file supplemental list Most of the wit
nesses live in the far West. The fees and mile
age of witnesses alone would probably be $780,
900.
The health of Speaker Kerr is gradually i'm
proving.
The counsel for Belknap have now alighted
upon scheme to which they cling with much
satisfaction. The point is made that the plea
of absence of jurisdiction recently considered
was complete defense in itself-that is, if it
had been sustained, it would have acquitted
Belknap-therefore, nothing but two-thirds
vote Gas is required in vital questions) could or
can empower the Senate to establish that juris-
diction which would compel the thieving ex-
Secretary to commence more pertinent proof
of his Innocence"
Secretary Bristow retired from'the Treasury
Department on the goth inst. Being ques-

as he was no longer public man. He added

reasons they might be informed that it was

! Evidence has been taken before the House
Judiciary Committee in the matter of the cable
dispatch from Josiah Caldwell, to the effect
| that the dispatch was sent at the dictation OF
Mr.. Blaine's friends, having been first prepared
in this country, telegraphed to London, and
again telegraphed back to Mr.. Blaine. Col.
Tom Scott and one A. P. Robinson, railroad
man, are said to be the parties who
prepared and sent the dispatch. They will be
called upon by the committee to explain their
conduct. 1t is but just to Mr.. Blaine to state,
in this connection that he has received a letter
bv mail from Caldwell. in which the writer
states that he never, directly or indirectly, gave
Mr.. B. any Fort Smith and Little Rock railroad
bonds, and declaring his readiness to forward
a sworn statement to this effect, if desired by
the committee.
Solicitor Bluford Wilson, of the Treasury
Department, has resigned.

Lost His Courage.

A condemned murderer at st. john S,
n. B., told the Sheriff the other day
that he desired to cleanse hissfou1 bo-
som of the perilous stuff and to fetch on
his reporters but when the culprit saw
five representatives of the press armed
with their weapons of torture advancing
upon him, his fortitude that had borne
him through deed of blood, sustained
him in the presence of the corpse of his
victim, before jury of his countrymen,
and at the passage of the dread SEN
tence, and that promised to support him
even on the scafold, deserted him, and
he sobbed thas he wouldn't confess then
he'd be hanged first.

PerniciOuS Literature.

Is it not somewhat remarkable that
our two worst mllrderers, Pomeroy and
Piper, have gratifed their tastes on little
boys and girls and young women? Pom
eroy said "he thought it was strange
that he never attacked man" and
Piper can perhaps explain why,
when the "whisky and opium " fit was
on, he always chased a young woman or
a baby girl, to murder. But there is in
Piper's case, and in Pomeroy's, another
element of crime that has done its per-
feet work-pernicious literature. Piper
says I" that he took the bat into the
tower. intending to murder somebody"
and then, as the evidence has shown,
while the baby victim was prattling in
the Sunday-school, ne was reading a
book that revels in blood and murder,
fit preface to the deed. Some boys read
bad books and think themselves un-
harmed; but some, we know, read them
to grow worse, and Piper and Pomeroy
will stand as examples of this latter class
to all time. They were boys of intel
lectual ability, with good home lnfiu-
ences (none will question this in Piper's
casey, and they read books that were easy
to procure, books that decent pub
Usher should scorn to father. And, as
they read, the eye grew to knew the
look of murder, and the brain to gloat
on it, and the arm was nerved to strike.

Chinese Chean Labor.

It is now conceded that the expert
ment of employing Chinese labor at
North Adams is not profitable. There
has been no great loss by attempting it,
but the improvement of the Chinese in
practical skill has latterly been less than
was anticipated from their advance in
the first few months. With the return
of these Cinnamon to their native coun-
try, there is probably an end of employ
ing Asiatics for skilled labor anywhere
east of the Mississippi, since there were
many favorable conditions at North
Adams, not likely to recur elsewhere.
People who were moved by the scare
about Chinese cheap labor few years
ago have mostly recovered from their
fright, at least on this side of the Rocky
mountains but if there is yet linger-
ing trace of their malady, this news
should dispel it.-Nea0 York Tribune.

"Not many years ago" said Thomas
Darcy MCGEE, only few days before
he was SO foully murdered, "there was
ajony bishop Of Newfoundland, good
fellow who knew what it was to have
liver, and he concluded trade about a
piano with a Scotch doctor, after an inf
mite deal Of haggling, in which the
bishop got about two-and-sixpence the
better of the bargain. When the doctor
came to send home the piano, there was
no vehicle big enough to carry it but the
hearse, IN which he sent it up to the
Episcopal palace, to the good bishops
great scandal. why did you select such
a vehicle? Didn't you think it was pro-
flaming the dead? he asked of the doctor.
'Weel, no, answered the doctor F.; 4 just
sent it ye in the hearse, because ye got
it sic dead bargain. ,"
