The Fire Cracker Nuieance.

Mr.. S. B. Chittenden member of con-
gress, from Brooklyn N. Y. took strong
ground on the fre-cracker question in the
house on Monday. District of Columbia
bills being up, joint resolution was
offered authorizing the spending Of 81 900
for fire. works on the Fourth Of July. Mr..
Chittenden made al earnest speech against
fre-crackers on the Fourth. He SAID that
they were largely the cause of the loss OF
$700,000,000 by fire within some years
past.
Mr., Harrison, of Illinois. was surprised
that Mr.. Chittenden showed so little
Fourth of-July patriotism; but the gentle
man from Brooklyn protested that be was
patriotic; again asserting that within few
years $700,000,0O0 worth of property
nearly half the national debt, had beer
burned up as the result Of the discharge
of fire crackers On the Fourth of July.

reading for those who remember the figure

in 1872, made in the presidential cam
paign of that year. 1t would seem that
the engineer who constructed that work
has undertaken a similar enterprise, as an
accompaniment Of the Democratic National
Convention at St. Louis.
soFT-MoNEY sIDE-sHow AT ST, LOUIS.
Washington Correspondent of Ke1o York Tribune
Judge Edmunds, postmaster and secre-
tary Of the Republican congressional COM
mittee, is now organizing Democratic
soft-money demonstration, to take place
at St. Louis during the meeting OF the
Democratic national convention. Mr.,
Edmunds has been for several days in
communication with certain persons here
protesting to be Democrats, to whom 3
| large sum of money has been offered Tor
the purpose of getting up row on the
money question at St. Louis. Mr.. Ed
munds did the same thing in 1872. After
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley an attempt
was made to promote Democratic schlsm,
and an anti-Greeley convention called by
Col. Blanton Duncan, met at Louisville.
That affair was organized by Mr. Edmunds
and the expenses were paid out OF the lie
publican campaign fund under his control.
This is no secret, for Mr.. Edmunds has
frequently alluded to the matter, taking
much credit to himself for his cleverness
of management He had agents i'll every
state, and supplied them with money
One man in Michigan received $4,000
Many who went into tho movement were
honest in their professions, but it was
nevertheless a side-show to the Republi
can circus. 1t is hardly possible that the
same thing can be done again, but it is
certain that Mr.. Edmunds intends to try it

Hayes rarrea With the Same Stick.

The Republican nominee for president,
obscure as he is, has been sufficiently prom
inent to get his name enrolled among the
congressional salary grabbers. He was
member of congress in 1866, but made no
mark there except to draw his back pay.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer calls attention
to the fact that in 1866 the salary of mem
bers of congress twas raised from $4,000
to $1,000, by being meanly tackled upon
the Soldiers Bounty BILL"
The back-pay grab of 1873 was passed
in holder manner. That of 1866 was
sneaked through on the popularity of and
the public gratitude to the soldiers. Gov
ernor Hayes, then m ember of congress,
took the backpay, and as he has always
been most respectable man, no doubt
thought he had a right to it. But when
he came before the people for re. election
General Banning, (Democrat) now in con-
gress, beat him by about 1000 majority
in district which had been largely Rep
ublican. This proved what the people of
his district thought Of his record, and how
they looked upon salary grabber at thai
time. The Cincinnati nominee in fact is a
perfect representative of Grantism and the
evils of the Grant administration. His
obscurity and his personal Responsibility are
only a cover for the same system and the
same corrupt practices that have cursed the
country for the last eight years.

If all the refuse and wasteage from city
and country houses, hotels, &c, could be
utilized somehow for fertillzing purposes
what a reservoir OF wealth would be OBJ
tained. The problem is likely to be solved
in a practical way by what is called the
Dry Earth System" by which dry earth,
peat. or coal ashes is made to absorb and
neutralize everything offensive in the ex-
crement and refuse of the household.

"out of the Frying Pan into the Tire

Last week the pious editor Of the Daven.
port Gazette sought to make point against
Mr. Tilden by saying that he was chair
man Of the Chicago convention Of 1864.
THE ARGUS showed up the lie. and the
Gazette backed square out of it, and
then told a bigger one. It said he was
chairman of the committee on rcsolu-
tons" This is also false. Mr.. Guthrie,
of Kentucky, was chairman Of that com
mittee.
The Gazette also quoted the failure Of
the war to restore the Union" resolution,
and said it was approved by Mr.. Tilden, !"
and towards the close Of the article the
Gazette said, of the resolution, THAT was
Tilden's platform in 1864"
We almost despair Of getting the Gazette
to tell the truth,-but we call its attention
to these facts:
/. Mr., Tilden vas not president Of the
convention.
.. He was not chairman of the com,
mittee on resolutions.
3. He was not only not in favor Of the
resolution the Gazette refers to but he
opposed it and got the Objectionable
portions of it stricken out in the com
mittee. The report was delayed for some
two hours by speeches against the resolution
by Mr.. Tilden. And after he left the com
mittee the Objectionable feature was re
stored, and against his will. Not onl,
this but he advised Gen. Mcclellan to re
pudiate that resolution ID his letter 0
acceptance and he did repudiate it.
We do not expect fairness from thu
Gozette, and therefore do not look for
; correction of its latest falsehoods.
