CARL SCHURZ AND HIS SOPHIS-
TRIES

Carl made a speech the other day in
which he referred as follows to ,.he In

Of our opponents. may have money, but
may not at the time be able probably to

that money to the treasury OF the United
States and puts it in at the rate OF 500 of
one per cent. Who is it that pays in>

the United States. What docs the gov

4 GOOD JOKE.

A leading and eloquent Democrat
made a Democratic speech the other day
at Pine City and, as usual with the Dem>
ocrats. stole the greenback thunder, and
narrowed up the souls of his audience
with a disquisition on contractlon.' re-
sumption and the decentralization OF sill
yer. and when he concluded some chap
in the crowd shouted, 'Hurrah tor Peter
Cooper"
That man had logical mind; and he
could not see how our friends speech
fitted into Tilden's platform.
Oh. 1t the Democrats had only adopt
ed Bill Aliens platform how the Demo
cratic orators would make the tur fly
They would sweep the country.

THE HARD TINES.

The Wilmington (Del) Herald OF
June p. says:
"Oh, the Times. the Times! The first
Monday ct each and every month is
fixed by act of assembly 1Asell real es~
tate by the Sheriff of Philadelphia. The
first Monday of this month was the blu>
est day that city ever saw. Over one
thousand properties were sold by the
Sheriff, and in almost every instance the
pro perty was bought in by the mortgage
or judgement creditor.
The rich are enrlching themselves by
obtaining for 6 debt representing say 40
per cent. of the value of piece OF real
estate, property worth twice more than
the amount of the debt. Think ct the
Sherift7s hammer falling successfully for
eight hours, and each strike the type of
ruined hopes, the sad ending OF a strug-
gle to have shelter for the declining
days of ones life. Is it not enough to
make strong men shudder? Next sale,
said the Sheriff, will be still larger
Next sale will be on the Sd OF July. How
many groans of sorrow will be mixed
with the popular gratulations OF the GEN.
tennial eve
And yet Democrats aud Republicans
stand silently by SEER this immense
iniquity carried ont, !. i without one
word OF profess against il!
A writer, quoting the above extract,
saws:
Taking Philadelphia rs a basis to
found a calculation, find the population
of the States to be seventy-tiye times as
large. and that the average amount OF
landed estate over the country under
mortgage, or subject to judgment credi-
tors, is fully as large as in the city OIL
Philadelphia hence $4,000 homesteads
are sold out by the Sheritfs to satisfy the
creditors, and on this basis for the twelve
months during the year 1876, the homes
of 100000 of our people will be swal-
lowed up under the policy of ''contrac-
tion,' resumption and 'specie basis.
This is no overdrawn picture. and if auy-
thing. the estimate is too low. II any
one doubts the statement the officia

IT CANNOT BE TRUE.

We sincerely hope the following state
ment is not true, and we shall be glad to
chronicle Judge NVilder's disprocf Of
it. We quote from the Pioneer-Press-
Tribune:
1T is charged by the only clean-out
republican organ in st. Paul, that Judge
Wilder. the candidate of the democracy
for congress in the second district, was
guilty OF the following act of copperhead
baseness while the boys in blue were do
ing his fighting for him at the front.
During the war, a tax was levied in
Goodhue county to pay bounties for vol
unteers, Judge Wilder, who is quite
wealthy, paid his share of the tax with
much grumbling. He was notorious
copperhead, and did not relish the idea
of his money going to reinforce the Union
armies. Afterwards, in nosing around.
he found out that there was legal flaw
in the call for the special election which
voted the tax, and forthwith sued the
county and recovered back the amount
OF his tax with costs and interest.
The people of the free state of Mime
sofa could forgive Judge Wilder for kill.
ing his neighbor, but they will scarcely
forgive him for suing for and recovering
the taxes he paid during the war for
bounties to soldiers, because OF legal
flaw in the levying OF the lax. That is
more despicable act Of copperhead
meanness and cupidity than they accuse
Samuel j. Tilden of. We wait for Judge
Wilder's explanation before giving evil
dcnce to the self-evident SANDER"

ONLYHALFA CONVENTIONS.

AS an illustration of how little the res
cent Democratic convention, held at
Hastings, represented the Democracy OF
the district, we would call attention to
the fact that only one half of the elgh-
teen counties in the District were re-
presented by delegates residing therein
and regularly elected theretrom. These
nine counties were Carver. Dakota,
Goodhue, LIE Sueur, Mcleod, Rice, Scott,
Sibley and Wabasha- The unrepresent-
ed counties were Brown, Chippewa,
Kandiyohi, Lincoln. Lyon, Nicollet and
Redwood while Renville was represent
ed by worthy gentleman who, although
elected as a delegate, resided in Dakota
county. Thus one halt OF the District

BLAINLr,S ATTACK ON CHARLES

and his tongue became palsied for any
utterance except in support Of slavery.

session OF the 36th congress. intervening
between Mr.. LiDcoln's election and his
inauguration, was one OF treason to the
cause of liberty, and dcsertion from the

The amendment so warmly urged By MIR.
Adams declared in effect that no amend
ment to the constitution in any way in
terlering with slavery in the states should
ever be even 80 much as proposed except
by one OF the slave states, and should
not be adopted except with the consent
at every slave state. When, In 1888.

A Curiosity of LITIGATION.
New York Sur

The dispute between the Smith and
Carman families of Merrick, L. l.,
over the ownership of a fifty-cent
knife. has progressed from he,county
court of Queens county to the gen
eral term. Three years ago, Mr..
Joseph Smith. a wealthy farmer
bought for his daughter, Marietta. q
fifty-cent knife. She carried it an.
til, one evening about a year and a
half ago, a young man who was Wis.,
iting her borrowed it and taoIt- it
with him! Miss Smith missed it and
thought she had lost it. A few days
after that she called on Miss Mary
E. Carman, the daughter of another
wealthy Long Island farmer, and
saw the knife On the InantlepieOe
and claimed it. Miss Oarman said
that the young man who had taken
1t from Miss Smith had made her a
present of it, Miss Smith took the
knife and went home.
The two families took up the dis
pute, and the trouble threw the
church into ferment. At a church
meeting it was agreed to submit the
case to Lott Carman, Able Smith,
and George G.. Andrews. They de-
cided that they could not adjust the
difference. If the knife was Miss.
Smiths she had no right to take it
out of Miss Carman's house, and she
ought to sue for it. If she wished it
back. Accordingly they gave the
knife back to. Miss Carman, Miss
Smiths father decided te sue. A
search warrant was obtained, and
before Justice Bennett an examina-
ton was had. The knife was award
ed to Miss Smith. but the Justice
handed it to Miss CaFman by Mis-
take, and she would not give it up.
A replevin suit was then instituted
before Judge Lott, which ended in
Miss Smiths favor again, but Miss
father appealed the case
to the county eoqrt and the knife did
not 90 out of the family. Judge
Armstrong decided the case in favor
