The Howe Gempany's DoEsineerlng.

The Southern people are the buyers
of Northern prodtretions,s and the
most acute pain in the yankee proceeds
from the pocket nerve. 1t is possible
for the South to insure free franchise
in the North by a proper exercise of
a proper discretion in her marketing.
Here is one way Of doing it: on the
Bird Of November the Howe Sewing
Machine Company issued the follow,
ing circular from headquarters to
subordinate Offices:
ROCHESTER, N. Y. Noy.ss3 1875.
TO the Rutland Office
We wish you to discharge any of
your subordinates who vote the Demo
cratic ticket. We believe that the
success OF the Democratic party will
be the ruin of our country and business,
and will not support any one who
will not stand by us in this This is
a struggle between the intelligent aid
respectable portion of the community
and the ignorant and roughs and
rowdies Of the cities
MIR. Stockwell fully concurs with
me in the above.
GEO. r. PETTIBoNE.
Write to all your agents to the
above effect and what we wish.
GEO. r. PETFIBaNE.
Now let every Southern family let
this company, which only recently
escaped bankruptcy, depend upon that
respectable" portion of Southern com
manities which constitutes their party
for the sale of machines, and let the
ignorant youghs and rowdies" buy
machines of other manufactures. Mr..
Stockwell will learn quickly how to
let laboring men do as they please on
election day, if little of this antidote
for his vulgar tyranny be administered.
We are not of those who counsel
ostracism for political opinions, nor
do we ceviate from our rule in this
regard in what we say here. These
gentleman throw down the gauntlet,
and we should accept They would
not give employment to democrat
they would starve him into repub-
licanism or out of existence. They
would take away the only right which
poor man has in this government by
substituting their will for his. Let
them feel the effect of their own
policy visited upon them. 1t is right
it is proper that such knaves and
tyrants should be admonished by
severe retaliation. The most despicable
creature on earth is the petty .tyrant
lfresistance to tyrants be obedience to
God, what means would not be
justlhable in crushing ont such miser-
able oppression as this? The order
itself is disgrace to civilization.
The company Issuing it are without
the pale of gentlemen, deserving only
the execration OF all just and generous
people. Earth should visit it with
disgrace Heaven will oonsign it tc
perditlon.
TO the readers Of the HERALD We
would say, as our part of the work
that there are many machines equal
and some superior to the "howe.
They are all about the same price. +
an agent comes to you, ask him if he
has seen this order. IF he answer no
show it to him and if he de no, ther
and there abandon the service of thi.
vile crew of political dictators, set hin
down as a base mental and send hin
of. Let not another Howe Machine
be unloaded among the people thu.
villifed and belied.

LET every Virginian go on with
his business. We have done our
whole DUTY as citizens Of the county,
and our next duty is to ourselves.
1t is not to be denied that our
political matters are complicated, but
the democracy have chosen their
tribunal for adjustment, and must
abide the issue. The courts and con
gress must finally adjudicate all that
is in controversy. Excitement can
add to the difficulties, without in any
manner contributing to their solution.
Our people are too intelligent to re-
quire to be kept in a state of ferment
as guardians CT their liberties. The
cali of the country now is only for
quiet, and strict pursuit of individual
avocations Repudiato all alarmlsts.

The New York Herald, referring to
the conduct of the South Carolina res
tuning board, says:
"This is very sharp practice. II
the Supreme Court cannot support
its authority, which the board have
deGed, the State must be counted for
Hayes. The audacity Of this act be-
trays great desperation. If not I'M
done in the course Of justice it will
stand as monument OF infamy.'

A San Diego dispatch says it is
reported that revolution has broken

Gov. Vilaquara and his secretary,

A thousand Statesmen now feel
called upon to write something on
the mode of counting the electoral
vote and the constitutional solution of
our presidential mudddle. The man
who reads all Of them will know
nothing, and may congratulate him
self if he is not raving maniac.
Potter's view is all there is fit, and
that may be found in abridged form
by reference to the 18th article of
amendment to the constitution. How
to get fair count is beyond the ken
Of ssStatesmen.' All our hope is in
the courts. Once through these and
the mode of proceeding is easy com
pretending.

No state or county was ever affiict-

our respects to it more at length here

Gov. HENDRICKS paid visit to
New York last week and had con-
ference with Mr. Tllien. He said
feeling in the West was so intense
that he was constrained to 90 East to
quiet it. The result Of the conference
was not made public.

AN interesting conundrum. If
sew en- millions of people could COM
bat thirty millions four years, how
long would it take three millions of
democrats to clean out two and half
millions OF republicans ? Better sets

and Mississippi under equally adverse

In Louisiana Shameless fraud was,
detected by counsel and admitted by
the Republicans. x sealed package
ofvotes mailed on the 18th contained
the usual certificate OF intimidation,
which, upon examination, proved to
have been filled up in New Orleans
on the 25th. The scoGndrehsm was
so clear that Senator Sherman re-
marked : ''There is no use to deny
the fact that these returns have been
opened and the certificate inserted"
An act so patent and atroclous ought
to rebound with force, though from
indications the discovery had little
effect upon the infamous board,
In Florida the board has acquiesced
III the order Of the court. The next
danger there is, that they will en-
deayor to kill time and then arbitrari.

Judge Bond took the South Carolina
returning board out of Jail on habeas
corpus, and afterward gave them over
to Marshal for keeping till Wednes-
day The State court denies Bonds
jurisdiction and a clash is inevitable.
1t is now quarrel between Repub-
lican courts. The Democrats have
photographed a protest to giving troops
to Chamberlin bat accept them cheer
fully under regular officers The
situation is very grave.
The Florida board protested against
the one Democratic members acting,
but without avail. The auimus here
is clearly shown to be fraud IS
Louisiana goes on about the same
way, cheating and getting caught at
1t, but they evidently have re-load
than they expected to carry. The
intention is certainly to count T;lden
out if possible. We are not without
hope, however having the state courts
on our side in two cases. and a good
majority in the other, Wait IS the
word.

LATER.

The news from South Carolina is
exceedingly interesting. The Su
preme Court fined the returning
board 81, 500 each and sent them all
to jail, for contempt. Rumor had it
that United States Judge Bond was
present with view Of usurpng au,
thority in the premises. One feature
OF the FALLING was refusal on the part
of the white members to cell with the
colored, although they are all of equal
dignity as state officers Grant issu
ed an order on Sunday to The secreta-
ry of war to sustain Chamberlain with
troops. Correspondents upon the
field say this means ito control the
assembling of the legislature, which
met Monday, to admit the Republi
can majority, and declare Chamber
lain elected over Hampton. If this
be the object, it is the most highs
handed outrage yet perpetrated. 1t

A True Statement.

When thousands of physicians and druggists
of excellent reputation voluntarily indorse the
powerful properties of Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters, you may rest assured that their pop
ulanty is founded upon true merit. There
never has been an article before the people
that has received such strong Endorsements.
They are in no sense patent medicine, are en-
tirely vegetable and perfectly free from mineral
tonishipg quiekness upon diseased parts; re-
store the circulation to its normal condition;
relieve instantly and cure quicker than any
known medicine. They are superior to cleo
tricity in their action, and will positively cure
diseases which other porous plasters simply
relieve. They are sterling household
remedy. Price, 25 cents.

Shooting Affair.

Last Saturday morning, shortly after 10
O'Clock, man named George White, captain
OF canal boat, shot q colored man named
Albert Crane in the head with shot gun, for
throwing stones at him. The affair took place
on the canal, at the foot of Jefferson street
Cranes wounds were dressed by Or. Louis
Richie. White was Immediately arrested by
Officer Sullivan, and safely lodged in the sta
tion-house. Crane was removed to Providence
hospital. His face and head were badly torn
by the shot, but his injuries are not fatal.
White will have hearing this morning.
