THE MAN WHO WANTS TO KILL GAS.
SACNAC.

There is an ambitious Partisan
politician who desires to fight Nj.
Cassagnac, the well-known duelist
and editor. Cassagnac has fought IA
duels, with all kinds OF weapons. NJ
Clemenceau who wants to fight him has
often challenged him and on the 18th OF
May, in the Chamber OF Deputies, Gle
menceau drew Cassagnac into a dispute.
Next day Clemenceau published an in
solent challenge in the Republican pa
pers; to which the caustic Paul de Cas-
sagnac replied in whitening contempt :
"You desire to be somebody says he,
.you are already doctor without pa
tient, writer without brains. speaker
without a speech, so you want to con-
stitutc yourself my sacriticer; and on all
sides your party point you out saying.
THAT is the man who wants to STAY
Cassagnac! Your speculation has al
ready been lucrative. 1t made you Mu-
nicipal Councillor and afterwards De-
putty. You have fought once; have
done so fourteen times, with every KIND
of weapon without exception. | have

! The bitter sarcasm has delighted PARIS
and squelched Doctor Clemenceau.

THE GRANGE AND POLITICS.


A great cry is raised by the cl;ques Of
politicians who run the state and gene.
raj government lest the Patrons and
working men organize a political party,
and deprive them of power. This is all
a bugbear, to blind the foolish and hide
the chains they are putting on tue limos
of the laboring men, in order to hold
power, place upon their necks greater
burdens in shape OF whisky taxes, to-
bacco taxes, railroad taxes, government
subsidies, and everything else which 60
to build up favored class OF spectators
in our country.
The Patrons are not a political party,
but each member is citizen, and as u
citizen has !. right to both act and legis-
late according to the lights before him;
and when he has learned OF the burdens
under which he has been groaning, it
becomes his sacred duty, which he owes
to his wife, his children, himself, his
State, and his country, to use every
honorable means in his power to remedy
them. And surely it is not dishonorable
in Patron, or in q working man Of any
industry. to offer himself candidate for
office in opposition to the professional
politician" whether he comes from the
ranks of the LAWYERS or any other pro-
.ession, nor is it dishonorable in his
neighbors to support him, and ifelected,
whether he is Republican or Demo
crat, it is not lshonorable in him to ac1
for the interests of all industries OF the
country.

JUDGE BucKNER,s REPORT.

Bitterly partisan as is the chairman Of
the District Committees report, which he
has read to his committee without action
.on its part, the real and only question be-
tween the report and the Commissioners is
as to the construction of the act or June
20, 1874, under which the present Com
sion govern ment was organized. The
Commissioners have shown by their pub
lished answers to interrogatories of the
committee, that their construction of the
act was adopted on the advice of their
legal counsel. If correct, each and all
their acts are wholly legal. Ifnot correct,
some of their acts are Of more than doubt
full legal authority. But, after all, what
ever mistakes, if any, they have made,
grew out of the construction of the law,
honestly made, and which is not denied by
the chairman in his report.
The report presents no fact and makes
no charge impeaching, in any sense. the
personal or official integrity of the Com.
missioners, nor any charge or intimation
that each and all the work done by them
has been well done and at fair prices.
Where, then, are we to find the reason for
the partisan and vindictive tone OF the re-
port? The only explanation is in the
exigencies of the party for miserable party
ends.
That the Commissioners gave the proper
construction to the act Of June 90. 1874, is
clesrly shown by the following indorse-
ment of the Hons Lyman K. Blss, Jere-
miah N. Wilson and Jay A. Hubbell, who
were members of the Joint Investigating
Committee of the last Congress who pre-

The Two German Conferences.

tFrom the Cincinnati Freie Presse.l
We are pleased to learn that the two Ger
man Republican factions of Washington are 8
unit as far as the question of a conference or
convention is concerned. Our readers will re-
member call Of the radical faction Of WASH
ington for the 10th Of June. This call was not
well received by the German Republican press
of the country on account Of its ultra radical
tenor. A few days later another German Re-
publican faction Of Washington extended an
invitation, in more moderate form, suggest
ing the 18th of June as the day for 8 national
lGerman) conference, and designating the
Turner hall, of Cincinnati, as the place of
meeting. The resolutions accompanying the
latter invitation, although finding a heart!er
response and Endorsement than the call of the
radical faction, failed to secure thus far the
earnest cooperation Of the German American
press, for the only reason that no good result
could be expected from movement which In

A VICTIM OF BLACK BALLS.

The impoverished South Carolina aris-
tocracy, having had a crumb of comfort
thrown them by the renegade Cham
berlaiD. and hoping that in the not dis
tant future he would turn over the State
government to their hands, were induced
to extend him many courtesies, and even
condescended so far as to visit his house
and enjoy his wines. While they declined
TO permit their families to visit the Execu-
tive mansion, it was deemed no especial
harm for the Prestons, Hsmptons, Gareys
and MacMssters to gather around the Gov
ernor's festive board. Inspired by the rare
honor of having live South Carolina
aristocrat extend him such courtesies,
Chamberlain at once conceived the idea Of
gaining admission to the circles of the far
famed and highly distinguished Hibernian
Society of Charleston, an institution which
Ribalt had the honor Of establishing when
he first led the Huguenots to the Palmetto
shore. At first the Governor experienced
great difficulty in finding suitable person
who would consent to present his applica-
tion for admission to the society, but at last
an English pet-bagger of the name of
Dawson generously rendered his services,
and Chamberlain was made exceeding
glad. But, alas! here his troubles began.
Dozens of the Charleston elite arose to their
feet, and declared that under no circum-
stances could the society afford to admit
person from the ''dark, unfethomed caves of
obscurity." One lady of seventy odd sum-
mers, who had the honor of dancing the first
set with Lafayette when he visited the socl-
ely in 1926, declared, in emphatic terms, that
the desecration of the "Hibernian" by an
obscure individual like Chamberlain would
be as calamitous as the fall of Fort Sumter
in 1866. What" she exclaimed, admit
lone to our dear society who boasts upon
"having been raised on spoiled fish?
"Neyer; no, never ~
The result of the matter was the with
drawal of the Governors application for
membership, and its prompt transmission
10 whence it came. In other words, the
Governor received quite q number of
black balls, administered with a spirit
which ths notorious clubs of Northern
cities might emulate.
From a private letter we learn that the
Governor has been equally as unsuccessful
in his efforts to join the Free Masons of
South Carolina. He was black.balled by
the Columbia Lodge, body which has
the honor Of having such names as Moses
and Whipper upon Its roll. Not secret
society IN the State but what he has en-
deavored unsuccessfully to gain admission
to. Report now says that he is sssiduous
in his attentions to the rebel Rifle Clubs of
Columbia, and it is to be hoped that the
brave % spirits who compose these harm
less % organizations may take pity upon
the unfortunate victim of black balls, and
allow him to add his delectable name to
their rosters. Such is the man whom the
too confding South Carolina Republicans
transformed from a needy, seedy adven-
turer into an apparently respectable man,
only to be rewarded by his disgraceful
treachery.
National Republican., 1876-05-24

AND NOW, to make assurance doubly
sure in the way of false compilations of
figures, the House Committee on the Ex-
penditures of the Navy Department has
employed the so-called statistician, Alex.
Delmar, as an accountant. Every man,
woman and child in Washington and else
where, where Delmar is known, knows
that he is thoroughly unprincipled and un.
reliable. He is, however, exactly the kind
of man to make up figures for the use of
the majority In the House, which has not
scrupled to make use of. thieves, forgers,
burglars and self:confessed disreputables

its very beginning had to combat inimical fac

This apprehension and cause of failure is
happily obyiated, both factions having united
and agreed to work in harmony together at
Cincinnati as far as the essential points arc
concerned.
1t is now intended to hold the German con-
ference on June 12, at p. M, and we request
all delegates to convene at that time at the
Turner hall, by virtue of the authority con-
ferred on us.
Several delegations from Indiana, Iowa, Hi.
nois &C., have already notified the Washing
ton committee Of their readiness to participate.
The principal cause of dissension being now
entirely removed, we have no doubt the con-
ference, under tudicious management, can
make its influence felt. .- n. "a
We have repeatedly called attention to the
important mission of the German element in
national politics, and 1t is now more than ever
the time that the great majority of Germans
should make known to the country the stand
they propose taking in relation to the political
questions of the day. .....
The intelligent Germans have heretofore
adhered to the principles of the Republican
party, and although many of our countrymen
during the last few years have left its ranks 1t
was not on account of their infdelity to
Republican principles, but solely on account of
their dissatisfaction with the leaders of the
party. They always remained true to Repub.
lican principles, and we think manly declara-
tion of the Germans, defining their views on
the political situation of the day, can, II given
on the eve of the national convention at Gin
cinnati, have but good and beneficial effect.
National Republican., 1876-05-24

Our GERMAN Republican friends are
very active concerning the impending cam
paign, and deserve our hearty commenda-
ton. Although two climbs of the exist in
our midst, they furnish laudable example
of unity as far as the interest of the party is
concerned. We furnish our readers a
translation of the leader of the Gin
cinnati Freie Presss of May 90, rela-
tive to a proposed German Repub-
lIcan conference to be held at Gin
cinnati on June Is. The delegates from
here, elected by German mass meeting on
