Strange that our friend Mattingly
should go off like that, with so little
to cause it. We have been a constant

He was very common looking
old man in a very common looking
light wagon, drawn by a very COM
mon looking horse; but when a young
chap, who trusted to appearances
came along in a styllih livery rig and
tried to pass him, the common look

Just twisted his mouth into smile OF
easy confidence and in forty seconds
was out of the astonished young

Gen. Reub. Williams is again
editor and proprietor Of the Indian
ian, a position which he fills with bet
ter satisfaction to the readers of that
paper, and more credit to himself,
than any other. The Indianian had
grown to its greatness under his
careful training, and seems to be al
most inseparably connected with
him. We welcome him back to the
post Of honor and usefulness. Judge
Carpenter might have been a good
editor, but for his other duties which
seemesi to engross most OF his atJen-
ton.
That Jealous advocate Of reform,
the LaPorte Argus says that It'll
den, the reformer, received about
three-fourths of the votes of the
Democrats at st. Louis" And that
Bristow, the reformer, received about
one-seventh of the votes of the Re
publicans at Cincinnati 1t might
have added that Bristow, the reform
er, did not get a single vote in the
Democratic convention. The kind Of
refrom the Democrats care a snap
about, is the kind that will reform
Republicans out Of Office and Demo
Gratis in. What do they care for
Bristow, the Reformer?
The Democratic papers affect to
be greatly surprised because Orth,
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, don't decline? They publish
every lie, concocted by that notorious
lying sheet, the N. Y. Sun, and then
look benignly around and inquire
@why don't Orth deeline?" Why
bless your moan souls-if the lies of
such disreputable Democratic sheets
as the State Sentinel and others Of
that ilk, could have any affect upon
loyal men, all the promi-
nent officers in the Union army
would have resigned during the war,
and come home. and let the Rebels
take the country. Not much-Orth
don't decline.
The Centennial fourth Of July
was appropriately celebrated in Bour-
bon, by a procession, music, toasts
and responses. The procession was
marched to Mr.. Clayton Grants orch
ard, led by the Cornet band. In the
procession were Sabbath school
children, fire companies and citizens
generally. A stand and seats were
erected on the ground, where Hon.
James o. Parks presided, and prayer
was offered by Rev. Geo. H. Thayer.
In the evening the browning event
took place. The Mirror says, @the
display OF fireworks was grand, i'm
posing. sublime. Nothing approach
ing it was ever witnessed before, even
in Bourbon, where everything in the
way of display is never half DONE"
1t does not cost the Democratic
papers a cent to claim that Gov. Til
den has saved New York $4,000, 900 a
year since he has been governor. II
is just as cheap for them to tell lie
as the truth. Just how he has saved
the State SO much money is not told
1t might be very inconvenient to tell
how it was done, as well as damaging
to the story. Gov. Tilden is not sup
posed to have the control OF the Leg
islature nor the funds OF the State
The Legislature, the making
power, is Republican in both
branches, and has been since Tilden
was elected Governor. The Legisla.

money has been saved, it has been
done by Republican Legislature.
