Aug. II, 1876. !
ED. REPUBLICAN -
With the mercury
at 9SO in the shade, aud a hot, sultry
breeze blowing from the west over fifty
miles of level prairie, on hot August
afternoon, is pleasanter to the imagin-
alton than to the human system. We
are at present almost willing under a
tropical sun. We have never before
experienced such warm weather as we
have passed through since the 10th of
last month. If the Centennial has any
thing to do with it, we shall object to
Centennials becoming fashionable.
"The Harvest is past" and we are
sorry to report the nearly total des-
truction Of our wheat crop; rot only
in this State, but in part Of Iowa. The
small insect known as the "chinch-
bug" has done the mischief Thou
sands of acres of wheat have been
burned or plowed under, and yet those
bugs move on; our corn-felds, in some
instances, are now showing their work
Of destruction. Corn neve: looked bet
ter at this season of the year. Oats
were very heavy; some that have been
threshed yielding fifty bushels per acre.
Barley is good average crop, and
rye is also splendid. Our wheat crop,
however, was destroyed in less than
ten days after the bugs made their ap-
pearance.
Quite a number of our citizers are
off to the city of Brothorly Love, to
see the Worlds Fair, but next month
will be the time for the greatest rush
from the Western States.
Bat another excitement at present
prevails on our frontier, and that is
concerning the "Noble Red Man"
Troops are almost daily passing over
our railroads, going west, to the seat
of present difficulties, and soon We hope
to hear Of "LO, the poor Indian" being
brought to proper terms. The West
ern people never take stock in the
"rcdskins," and hopes are entertained
that the whole race will be annihilated.
No excitement prevails here in po.

Our Washington Letter.
Special to the REPUBLICAN,.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. II, rs.
Notwithstanding the many false
predictions as to the date of adjourn
ment, the forward condition of the
remaining appropriation bills leads to
we'll grounded hope that it will not
be delayed longer than next Monday
or Tuesday. Many members have al
ready gone home and it is not believed
that quorum could be mustered in
the House beyond the middle of next
week..
A great deal of dissatisfaction
against Mr.. Randall has been heard
during the past week, among his po-
litical allies. Many of the members
are looking for reelection and feel
they should have been at home weeks
ago; and they complain that Randall
selfshly adopted his obstructive policy
that he might thereby make a little
cheap reputation as reformer and an
economist, regardless of the wishes of
any one else concerned. If that was
D his purpose, he has succeeded himself
in defeating it, as is attested by the
scowls upon angry Democratic faces
whenever he pushes to the front. And
suspect many of his associates in.
wardly chuckle that they have him so
foul on the backpay business.
The report Of the Conference Com
mittee on the river and harbor bill
has been accepted by both Houses
and will probably pass, not materially
altered, with the appropriations limi-
ted to $5,0O0,00O. The legislative
bill has been compromised after a.
struggle Of more than FIVE weeks and
it is thought it may go through the
House and Senate to-day. The con-
sular and diplomatic bill is still
before the Conference Committee, but
it may be agreed upon to-day, and if
SO, will be Immediately pushed through.
Only one other-the Indian-remains !;
and ifit is true, as reported, that the
House had receded from its position
relative to transferring the Indian
bureau to the War Department, it
may also be completed and passed
- before the close Of the week; and an.
other extension of last years appropri-
ations for four days has been adopted,
providing for the Governments neces-
sites until next Tuesday, by which
time, it is believed, final adjournment
will have been effected.
The Hamburg murders and the Ku-
Klux atrocities brought to the atten-
tiOn of Congress and the public
through the report of the Committee
sent to Mississippi to investigate her
last election, have been very hotly
debated in the House and Senate
during the past ten days. The evi-
dences of fraud, corruption, iAtimida.
tion and the necessary number of
murders to frighten colored voters
from appearing at the polls, carefully
distributed throughout the strong Re-
publican counties, are so conclusive
that resort to general denials is no
longer tenable. To admit the exist
ence of the ferocious, brutal, Improve
ked murders would, Of course, be
fatal. Hence it is sought to account
and apologize for them on the ground
that their Democratic hearts have
been so fred and exasperated by Re
publican maladministration generally
including murders more atrocious than
those alleged against their party, that
the Ku-Klux and White Liners have
have resorled to such extraordinary

measures, through sheer desperation
But the fact that no whites, but
scores Of blacks are always killed in
these outbreaks, is a sufficient answer
to the only line Of extenuation they can
urge. 1t is a sore strait to which they
are reduced. Their representatives in
Congress must continue to sacrifice
every feeling Of manhood and human
ity in their defense or desert the mur-
derous cut-throats and their party at
the same time. The committee rec.
ommend as remedial means; Congress
ional legislation; the establishment of
public schools; a denial of represen-
tation in Congress; that the present
government be ignored and that the
State be remanded to a Territorial
form Of government if such practices
are continued or present ones are per-
sisted in.
The repudiators have been intoxica-
ted with their own Importance ever
since their victory in striking out the
date of resumption. Tilrlen's letter of
surrender to Hendricks gives them an
assurance that their financial views
are to obtain in case Of Democratic
success; and the cup of their happi-
ness is running over now, that they
are able to see behind Mr.. Tilden's
letter of platitudes, evidences that
patriotic reformer who graduated
from Tammany with the highest hon
ors, would, in the event of his election,
not leave one Republican head on its
shoulders, and would be equally true
to the Confederate Democratic ira.
ditions and teachings of his party.
Scott Lord yesterday introduced
resolution reciting that the fifteenth
amendment provides that no discrim-
ination be made on account of race or
color, and that, as it is alleged that
elections have been carried by frauds,
intimidation and violence, it is resolv-
ed that the House deprecates such
scenes and calls on all citizens tollend
q willing obedience to the amend
ments of the Constitution. All sorts
of filibustering expedients were resort
ed to by the Democrats to avoid com.
mitting themselves by a vote. But
after an hour spent in this way, the
Republicans holding their opponents
close to their work, they voted almost
en- n1asSe in favor of seconding the de.
maEd for the previous question. The
resolution will probably p"ss and the
pree mble be defeated.
Senator Logan's testimony yesterday
before the Committee investigating
the whisky prosecutions will serve to
still further increase the feeling that is
rapidly growing against Mr.. Bluford
Wilson.

MOTHER Democratic sham has he

ANOTHER Democratic sham has been ex-
posed. The committee on accounts began
their work of economy in small things by
cutting down the number and pay of COM
mittee clerks; but since the committee have
begun business one additional clerk after an
other has been appointed, until the number is
greater now than ever before in the history
of Congress, and at least two more commit
tees are still clamoring for clerical assistance.
Some of the new appointees are grossly in
competent, being fitted for their present
places neither by nature, experience, nor ed
uca.ion. One of them recently refused to
allow a certain member of his committee to
enter the committee room for the purpose of
showing it to a party of friends, and in the
course of an alteration which ensued called
him rascal. The member at once wrote
note to the chairman of the committee, say
ing that he should not attend another meet
ing of the committee while that clerk re-
mained.
