Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-11-25

A FORMER citizen of Providence, r. l.,
now residing in London, telegraphs that
| Confederate bonds are now offered for
sale and quoted on the London ex-
change.
COULDN'T Mr.. Hewitt's brigade be
persuaded to stop OH their route home
and look into the way Mississippi was car
ried for Tilden? If they have any sort
of noses for fraud, that would be a rich
field for them to labor in little while.
ENGLAND can hardly resist the pres
sure of circumstances longer. 1t looks
now as if she would take possession of
| ConstantinOple and the Dardanelles, i'm
the event of war between Russia and
Turkey. England's interests i'm the east
would Justify this step in the::eyes of
English people.
| THE fact that the Peter Cooper move
ment was ''side show" to the Democrat
ic party, is not denied now by any in
telligent observer of the election returns.
1t beat the Republicans out OF the state
of Indiana in October and November,
| which was all the Democratic managers
desired it should do.
THF latest Massachusetts census shows
/ only on avoacc Of obout nine tboucopd
unmarried women over unmarried men,
but there are seventy-three thousand
widows and only twenty thousand wild
overs. So that the excess of marriagea-
BILE women over manageable men is
more than sixty thousand.
Mr.. PETER COOPER'S Greenback vote
! in New York city amounted to 226. He
had twice us many ballot distributors at
the polls, hardly half OF whom, at the
very most, voted for him. Yet they are
all clamoriDg for their five dollars day.
Mr. Cooper very naturally declines paw
ing them under the circumstances.
In East Fellciana parish, Louisiana,
there were this year 2,l27 colored voters
registered. Not one single vote for the
Republican electors was cast in the par
ish. The Republican vote of that parish
two years ago was l,6SS. The white reg
Istration this year in the Parish was l,004,
and now Tilden's friends claim majori-
ty there of 1,743.
The Adrian Press, Democratic. hits
Don Miguel the hardest blow he has re-
ceived yet. After stating by way of
breaking the news gently to him that he
is the right man in the right place, it in
Inmates that any man WHO thinks that
Michigan should have given Democrat
ic majority this year, doesn't know what
he is talking about.
SPAIN is still sending soldiers to Cuba
to put down the rebellion" a good
many people are wondering what be-
comes Of all these troops. The mystery
is partially solved by proclamation of
JOvellar, in which deserterS from the
Spanish army, who are i'm the enemy's
ranks, are notified that they twill be par
doned, ii they surrender to the proper
authorities"
CALIFORNIA has rightly earned the
name of tie golden state, and she now
bids fair to become the greatest wheat
growing state in the Union. Since July
l, 1876, there have cleared from San
Francisco for Europe 143 wheat vessels.
The wheat fleet now in that port COM
prises 73 vessels representing $4,000 tons
of tonnage, with carrying capacity for
10000 tons. or 100000 centals of wheat.
all of which must be loaded by the LIST |
of January.
WAR clouds i'm Europe are thickening. |
A Turkish army of 250,000 men is in |
readiness tor immediate service, and her
grand iron-clad fleet is atloat and thor
Oughly equipped. On the other hand,
the Russian people have caught up the
warlike words of the Car uttered at
Moscow, and from all paris of the en-
pire comes messages of encouragement, |
backed by offers of men and money. |
Disraeli's belligerent speech is strongly |
condemned by British liberals.
THE annual report Of State Treasurer |
tor the fiscal year ending Sept. |
80, 1876, has just been issued. 1t is a
clear and concise statement of the fl
nances Of Michigan. No state can make |
a sounder financial showing than ours /;
and the people have just declared, by |
about double the majority which they |
gave for Col. McCreery in 1874, and i'm
the face of the meanest copperhead slam
ders, that they regard him as an honest |
and judicious custodian of their
funds.
HAYES had an enormous majority
about quarter of a million votes-in the
states which did not rebel. The single |
state of Iowa gave HAYES larger major
ity than Tilden received i'm the four states
of Indiana, New York, Connecticut and
New Jersey. If the election had been
only to the loyal states, Hayes
would have been overwhelmingly elect
ed. If confined to loyal voters only,
Hayes would have had two-thirds ma
jority. Tilden's great strength was in
the seeding stat and among the dis
