A Good Advertisement.

Some time since the TRIBUNE noticed
that the State Centennial Board OF MAN
ayers had made arrangements for the
compilation of a pamphlet, designed to
disseminate Information regarding the
history, development and resources of
our state. The book has just been iasued
from the state printing OfficeFat lansing.
and will be distributed free at the Gen.
tennial, and it is hoped will have strong
influence in placing Michigan right. In
the eyes of the world. 1t has been COM

The full proceedings Of Congress are
supposed to be published ma paper
called the Congressional Record. The
definite information which is sometimes
contained i'm these reports Is often quite
astonishing. The editor of the TRIBUNE
has expended great deal OF time and
patience during several weeks past in
reading up these reports. TO keep in-
formed, if possible. In regard to the coil-
dition of the bill which passed the House
some time since, changing the port OF
entry from Duncan to Cheboygan. He
was rewarded for the trouble this week.
for in the proceedings Of the Senate in
the Record of the I'd inst. was the follow
ing item:
"Mr Cameron, OF Wisconsin. from the Com.
mittee ON CO,nme rec, 10 whom wss referred the
bili ,h. X. NO 4...l establishing. bebovsan. in
the ate Of Michigan. p 1T Of delivery reported

OF course all readers Of the TRIBUNE
will be delighted to know the exact
status of this bill, 1t is indeed great
satisfaction to know that the bill is to be
amended. Of course it can DC Of no i'm
terest TO anybody to know wherein the
bill is to be amended, tor if it WAS would
not the RecOrdshavc contained the ihfor-
matiOn?. But seriously We are glad to
see that the bill Is at last reporte,l-to the
Senate by the committee TO whom it was
referred. We presume the anendm. Mt

Hosc Canada Treats Isadfans.

A treaty between the Canadian govern
ment and the North Assiniboin and Cree
Indians was completed on the 1st of Sep
tember. In consideration of the sum of
5000 the Indians agree to remain upon
thcirreservations and to continue at peace
with the whites. The money was distribu-
ted as follows:-The chiefs received S25
each; soldiers, $12.5O. men, women and
children, So. All appeared well satisfied
with the terms, and it is thought that
both of the tribes will remain faithful to
their agreement. The Indians spent their
money to good advantage, principally for
horses ,and displayed considerable shrewd-
ness in making purchases.

Count-was one of the handsomest
and most accomplished young men ii
Vienna. He was passionately in love
with girl of almost peerless beauty
| She was the daughter of a man of great
rank and influence at court, and on these
considerations, as well as in regard to her
of suitors. She was lively and amiable,
and treated them all with an affability
which still kept them in her train, al
though it was generally known that she
had avowed a prediction for Count NJ
-, and that preparations were being
made for the nuptias. The count was of
a refined mind and delicate sensibility.
He loved her for herself alone-for the
virtues which he believed dwelt in a
beautiful form; and, like lover of such
perfections, he never approached her
without timidity, and when he touched
her fire shot through his veins that
warned him not to invade the vermil-
lion sanctuary of her lips. Such were his
feelings when one night at his intended
father-in-law's party of young people
were met to celebrate certain festival.
Several of the young lady's rejected sui
tors were present.
all went on with the greatest merriment
witty mademoiselle to redeem his glove
by saluting the cheek of his intended
bride. The count blushed, trembled, ad-
vanced to his mistress, retreated, advanc-
ed again, and at last, with tremor that
shook every fibre in his frame, with a
modest grace, he put the soft ringlet
which played upon her cheek to- his lips,
and retired to demand his redeemed
pledge in evident confusion. His mis-
tress gaily smiled, and the game went on.
One Of rejected suitors, but who was of a
merry, unthinking disposition, was ad-
judged by the same indiscreet crier of the
forfeits, "as his last treat before he hang
ed himself" she said, "to snatch kiss
from the lips of the object of his recent
vows" A lively contest between the
lady and the gentleman lasted for a
minute, but the lady yielded, though in
the midst of convulsive laugh. And
the count had the modification, the
agony to see the lips, which his passionate
and delicate love would not allow him to
touch, kissed with roughness and repeti-
ton by another man, and one whom he
despired. Without word he rose from
his chair, left the room and the house;
and by that good-natured kiss the fair
boast of Vienna lost her husband and her
lover. The count never saw her more.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
Information and Estimates of the Con
gressional Democratic Committee.
From the New York Sun

lff0In the New 1ofk sum-
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Thc Congress
sional Dem ocratic Committee here, who
are engaged in distributing political in
formation, documents, and speeches, keep
up constant and very extensive corre-
srondence with all parts of the country,
and necessarily seek to be well informed
as to the prospects of the Presidential
election. Great pains have been taken
to form a sound judgment by seeking
facts in detail through the local organi-
cations, discarding enthusiastic reports,
and rejecting loose sentiments of suppo-
sed strength.
Entire confidence in the election of
Gov. Tilden is felt, and, unless all the
signs should prove false, or an unexpec-
ted reaction occur, his majority in the
Electoral College will surprise some OF
his friends as much as his most pronoun-
ced opponents. The spirit of public
opinion is favorable, and if the October
States do not disappoint expectation, the
Presidential contest will virtually end
with the election of that plain and hon
est farmer, "Blue Jeans" Williams, as
Governor of Indiana. The figures to
work out the general result are as fol-

Compromise Rejected.

Col: Cravens having reje cted all over
lures looking to compromise in this
district, the Little Rock Gazette, and
leading democrats, are now taking sides
earnestly with Judge Stuart, the nomi
nee Of the regular convention. The Ga
xctte says
Bear it in mind that Col. Cravens
was nominated by the delegates of only
seven counties, while Judge Stuart was
nominated by the delegates from ten
counties.
"Bcar it in mind chat Judge Stuart has
made three distinct propositions TO Col
Cravens, looking to the harmony of the
democratic party of the district, all OF
which have been rejected; and that Col.
Cravens has made no move in the same
direction.
Bear it in mind that Judge Stuart is
still willing to make any honorable COM
promise for the interests of the demo-
cratic party of the district, while Col.
Cravens seems to think he is the only
man in the district who will make an ac-
ceptable representative"

He'll Gate Bursted !.

The long talked Of explosion of the
rocks at Hell Gate, in New York 6arbor,
took place week Sunday. This is what
a dispatch says:
With slight tremor of earth through
out the city, and an upheaval oftwo col
umns of water, accompanied with consid-
cradle quantity Of rock, which all fell in
to the river at Hallet's point, the reef at
Hell Gate was demolished this evening.
No accident occurred. This triumph of
American engineering. which was accom-,
plished by General John Newton, was
complete, in precise time and manner
intended, and without single accident.
Last evening, when the tide was about
half ebb, the steamer Providence, of the
Fall River line, passed over the place OF
explosion. She encountered no difficult
ty, and sailed about fifty feet nearer to
Hallet's Point than any steamer had ev-
err done before The soundings to ascer-
tain the full result of the explosion are
to be made this morning at slack water,
the current being too strong to attempt
them at any other time.

THE Boil TERS DEFIANT AND UNCOM
PROMISING

All efforts to harmonize the diflerene-
es between Col. Cravens and Judge Stu
art, that but one candidate should be run
by the democratic party Of this district
for congress, have utterly failed. At the
solicitation of leading men of the party,
Judge Stuart has made (Col. Cravens
having refused to do so) three distinct
propositions to Col. Cravens for set
tlement of the differences, all of them
tending to the withdrawal of bcth Stu.
art and Cravens, and for new man to be
selected, upon whom the friends of both
gentlemen could cordially unite, but
which have been refused, and the deter
mination evinced, by Col. Cravens to
run the race, no matter what the conse-
quences to tne democratic party of this
district. The tore and tenor rofeverything
that has been said or done by Col. Cra-
vens and ais friends, has eyinced a spirit
OF "ruie or ruin" We did not desire a
settlement ofthe difficulties alone on the
ground Of the fear that radical would
be elected, but that the democratic party
should not be split in two to crafty the
whm or ambition Of any man. There
are n dozen men who are equally as
npabre or ming the ONCE or congress
man as Col. Cravens or Judge Stuart
Why, then, should. we wrangle and
cause widespread split in our ranks to
crafty either? Upon Col. Cravens and
his boiling friends must lay the conse-
quenecs. They seem to have forgotten
the lesson that was given them two years
ago. Four-ffths of the delegates that
bolted the convention that nominated
Judge Stuart, were leaders in the revolt
and the determined efforts to defeat the
Clarksville convention nominee, two
years ago.
There is but one course, now, for Dem
ocrats to pursue, and that is to support
Judge Stuart, the nominee of the con-
veption. lie has offered TO step down
anl out, that the party might be united !;
and every overture for peace and har.
mony has been rejected by Col. Cravens.
Next wee, we will publish the cores
pondence that our readers may see and
Judge for themselves who is responsible
for two candidates being in the field ask
ing democratic support.

Official Bonds.

We would call the attention of the
newly elected county and township of
fcials to the following section of the acts
of 1874. A strict compliance with the
conditions set forth will be required by
the approving officer.
SECTION l. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly Of the State of Arkansas:
That the official bonds of county and
township officers, shall be approved by
the Circuit Court; Provided, however,
That the Judge of the Circuit Court or
the Judge of the county in vacation, sub
ect to confirmation or rejection by
the Circuit Court, may approve the
bonds of such officers in vacation upon
the securities in such bonds subscribing
to an oath that they are worth the amount
of the bond in property in the county
where such officer resides, subject to ex-
ecution over and above all their debts,
liabilities and exemptions under existing
laws, stating therein the amount of per,
sonal property and its value; and, Pro-
vidaed further, That if there should be
more tihan one security, if the aggregate
value of their property should be over
and above the aggregate of their debts,
liabilities and exemptions and the amount
of the bond required by law, the bond
may be approved, and if the Circuit
Court should confirm the approval of the
bond, the bond and affidavits shall be fill
ed and recorded in the Recorders Office
in book provided for that purpose; ; but
if the Court should refuse to confirm the
approval of the bond, it shall order a
good and sufficient bond to be given in
fifteen (15) days from its rejection, and il
a new bond is not given in that time, the
Office shall be deemed vacant, and shall
be filled in the manner now provided by
law

Dsy'A great deal is said about the
rights and claims of the great northwest.
How was Judge Brown treated by these
very same gushing north-westers, when
he was before the people for the nomi-
nation? Being the only man really from
the northwest, he was villitied, traduced,
and covered with mud and filth, by the
very men that now are shouting them
selves hoarse for united northwest.
Out upon such hypocracy. Let the man
be a good and representative one, no
matter from what part of the District
he halls.

whether the Exhibition in Van Buren,,
in connection with the County Agricai-

material enough in the county to make

we shall make showing worthy of the
town and society. We hope to see eve
