OF SO rare occurrence, that it may not be
presuming too much to think it worthy
of publication, Ga September /, 1876,
a stranger, 40 old man cigbty-one years
OF age, called at ny house inquiring for
Mr.. ZebIna Cowes, 40 old resident Of
New Haven, or any Of his heirs. He
said his name was Apolos Austin, Of
Ogdonsburgh, \. Y, late OF Pittsburgh,
n. Y, formerly of New Haven, Vt. He
made the following statement: Some
forty years ago | bought al augor OF
Zebina Cowles, for I'VE dollars have
never Been the day till now that | could
pay that debt, and | did not feel as though
could leave this world till it was paid.
With this cnd 10 view have walked all
tho way from Ogdensburgh and shall
return 10 the same way ss soon RS ! eau

particular to know all about his heirs,
wishing each aud every one to have thair
share, being assured said Zebina was not

with the promise that should pay it to

A Rebuke to Gen. Dix.

The "Boys in Blue or such Of them
as will rally to Gen. Dix's summons, are
to have reunion at indianapolis on the
2lst of September, which all old soldiers
and sailors are invited to attend. There
will be none present, however, except such
as would subserve the ends of faction by
tanning the fires of sectional hate, aud
keeping alive the passions which engen-
dered civil strife. These arc unworthy
motives to be dragged into political
campaign, and will not help the cause OF
the Administration party in the least.
When the "Boys in Blue entered the
field it was to uphold the integrity Of the
Union, but the summons to indianapolis
is for different purpose. The New York
Journal Of Commerce invites Gen. Dix
and his "Boys in Blue" to consider within
themselves what they would probably think
and say if the ex- Confederate soldiers were
to follow their cxample-organizc as "Boys
in Gray" for campaign work in behalf of
the Democratic ticket.
The Massachusetts Conservative Sol
diers' and Sailors Association, has rebuked
Gen. Dix, and the circular he recently
sent out through the country, by issuing
an address which appeals to patriotism,
and breathes the spirit of union and eiti-
zenship which distinguished the volunteers
of the late war. These men fought for
the Union, and they now ask for IA union
of harmonious, kindly and loving peo-
pie" Shame upon the factious and I'M
worthy spirit, that, in this centennial year,
when all should strive to heal the wounds
of the pust, would, for mere party ends,
tear them open afresh. The movement
must be and should be frowned upon and
discouraged by all right thinking men, no
matter to what political organization they
belong.

The proposed religious school amend
ment to the Constitution which passed the
Democratic House was taken up in the
Senate aud SO amended BY the Radical
members Of that body as 70 insure its de-
feat The Senate measure was the crudest
and most Objectionable of al the measures
on the subject introduced into Congress
during the session, Mr.. Blaine aud his
Republican coadjutors did not make much
capital out of that movement TWAS iu-
tended, first, to aid in the nomination of
Blaine, and second, as part and parcel of
sectarian crusade which it was hoped
and expected would enure to the benefit
Of the Republican party in the Presiden-
tial election. No set of unprinciplcd
demagogues were ever more completely
ioiled in their nefarious purposes.
The proposed measure was an infringe
ment Of the province of the States, and SO
regarded by nearly all the Democrats who
supported it, but they laid aside their OBJ
jeetions for the purpose of taking this dis
turbing element out Of politics. Their
conduct was in marked contrast to that of
the Republicans, who for the sake of the
party advantage they supposed it would
give them, were willing to throw this dan
gerous firebrand into the Presidential
election, and to profit by it atthe risk Of
setting the country in blaze of sectarian
excitement. Had the amendment passed
Congress and received the ratification of
the requisite number of States, it would
have put stop to this form of agitation,
and taken misunderstanding element out
of the hands of unprineipled demagogues
aud disarmed them for evil by taking away
their thunder. As it is, it takes the sub
ject in measure out of the present can
vass, aud spikes one Of the heaviest pieces
of ordnance of the opposition, much to
their discontinue no doubt.

Coming Elections.

The next States to hold elections are
Arkansas September Vermont Septem-
Der 3, aud Maine September II; after
which interest win centre on the October
States Georgia, that elects on the It'll,
and Ohio, Indiana, Colorado and West
Virginia, that elect on the 10Th.
The Maine election will to some extent
be ''straw," although a Republican VIC
tory is anticipated. The New England
politicians will look upon its result as in
dieating the drift of public opinion in
their section, in accordance with the gain
or loss Of parties in comparison with re-
cent elections in Maine, After Maine
there will be no election until Georgia
votes, October .ith, her large Democratic
majority insuring that party the Governor
MS usual. The October States will to some
extent foresnadow the Presidential con
test. The new State of Colorado will then
hold her first State election, and will de-
eide with which party she viii range her
self, matter that, until then, is profile
NAUTICAL. West Virginia, with large
Democratic majority at recent elections,
will probably elect State officers put in
nomination BY that party Ohio will vote
for minor State officers and members of
Congress, whilst Indiana, wherein the
great contest will be fought, elects a Gov
ernor. The Indiana election is even now
cngrossing the attention of politicians in
all parts of the country, as the party that
will be successful in clecting the President,
il is felt, must secure it by winning the
Indiana preliminary battle, just us in for
mer years they felt necessity of carrying
Pennsylvania So it may be expected
that aid and advice will be extended from
all directions to the combatants in Indiana,
and that there will be an interesting aud
lively campaign. But one other election
intervenes before the great Presidential
contest, that for Governor in Louisiana,
November 9th. The Presidential election
is held Tuesday, November 9TH.

Troops for the South.

Baslng his action on the preamble and
resolution introduced into the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Scott Lord, of
New York, and quoting certain passages
from it in justification of his course,
President Grant, through the Secretary Of
War, has issued orders to Gen. Sherman
"to hold all the available troops under his
command (not now engaged in subduing
the savages Of the Western fronticr) in
readiness to be used upon the call and re-
QUESTION of the proper legal authorities
for the protection Of all citizens, without
distinction Of race, color or political opin.

He is further directed to give those au.
thorities all the support they may ask by

toned as to be able to render prompt

TO General sherman that the troops are to

dicates that the contingency IS eontem-
plated Of interfering IN tho Internal con
Germs Of the State, irrespective Of their
own authorities. This attitude Of the adj
ministraton, and this easy unfolding Of
the plot to carry certain Of the Southern

Civil Service Reform.

The hollowrsss of the pretense Of reform
mado by the Republicans in Congress, is
seen by the fact, that the civil service re-
form section Of the Legislative. Executive
and Judicial appropriation bill, as it passed
the House, was intended to and would
have stopped political assessments upon
Government employees, whether made by
those in Office or by any one else; and it
further directed that hereafter all appoint
mcnts of clerks Of the fourth, third or
second class should be made from the class
next below the one to which the appoint
ment was made. The Senate struck the
whole of this section out Of the bill on
the ground that il was new legislation.
and that concurrence in it would involve
principle to which it could not agree.
Postmaster Edmunds, Of Washington
city, who is Secretary of the Republican
National Committee, may now 60 ON and
levy political assessments upon the gov
ernment employees to corrupt the elections,
just as he has done heretofore. The Sen
ate did not want this kind Of reform, for
il intended that the Republican party
should profit by this fund 81 the next
Presidential election, as it has done in the
elections Of the past.
Here Is one more fact against the SINGER
ity Of the Republicans in their professions
Of reform. Give them another four years
lease Of power, and you win hear no more
Of civil service reform, until, ut the end Of
their lease, pending another Presidential
election, they will tickle the ears Of tie
people BY putting high-sounding resolu-
ton upon the subject, into their enuucia-
