question :" Where have you been ?" 10 Sabbath

A correspondent writing from 0gelthOrpe, Ca,
gives an interesting story Of meeting of colored
Methodists. Elder Thomas delivered a stirring
sermon, and at its close one Of the brothers got
ready for shouting. But the minister cried out,
Hold on, brothers,and sisters, don't shout yetP'
He then ordered all the benches moved to one
corner, which was done. Then Brother
Dick Smith put on his hat and marched around
the room. This was the signal and the brothers
and sisters let loose with q fearful din. Shout
children, until the walls fall" cried one elder.
" Everybody saint and sinner, shout Miss Su-
san Yancsy, why amt you shoutin thar? Bro
Their Dick Smith, fire up that unconvarted corner
over dor Put em to shoutin y Then Brother
Smith marched out Of the church, all the rest
following. After marching around three times,
all shouting at the tops of their voices, they re-
entered the church.

A Distinguished French senator.

The election Of Mgr. DupanlOup Bishop OF
Orleans to the French Senate, is a notable event.
The Bishop is one of the most distinguished men
of his day, and possesses qualities which are up
parently much better adapted to the episcopate
han the Senate Chamber. In the first place he
is curreni-man above all else devoted to Rome.
and strongly disposed to WELD the crOzer after
the fashion Of O scepler. His private life has
been adorned by all Christian virtues. He is
said. indeed. to have furnished Victor Hugo the
model for Bishop Miriel, in Miserables !" and
certainly the anecdotes related of him are quite
as singular as any the great novelist has hung
upon his lay-6gure. On one occasion the
parshoners Of the Bishop, observing that he lived
in q very mean and meager way, Subscribed the
price of very handsome set of furniture for his
apartments, but when the Bishop came home and
found the uphosterer arranging the new things, he
made him remove them, and gave the money
which had been paid for them to his poor. On
another occasion he actually pawned his pastoral
staff to raise money wherewith to relieve sick
family. In the performance of his ecclesiastical
duties, however, he stands out for pomp and
ceremony, holding that the Church cannot
make too great display, and in the various cere-
monials PROFESSIONS etc, he is rigid stickler for
ritualistic ceremony and regal magnifcence. In
the pulpit he is extremely eloquent, with fiery
feryor quite his own, aud something of eccentric-
ty. 1t is said that he much regretted his failure
some years since to be transferred to Paris, since
IN that case be might have shared with the Arch
bishop of Paris the glory Of martyrdom at the
hands Of the Communards. What qualifications
for legislative work the worthy Bishop possesses,
we do not know, aud in fact the bent of his past
life rather discountenances the probability that
be is the right man in the right place. He will,
however, assuredly make his voice heard there,
and when he speaks it will be with no uncertain
sound though whether be will help or hurt the
party with which he acts in another question,
much less easy to answer.

LEWIS RIVER, Oct. 2lst, 1876.
EDITOR INDEPENDENTS:

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
With your permission would have
a word with the readers of your paper
concerning the all important road qucs-
ton. Numerous suggestions have been
made during the last year through the
columns ofthc INDEPENDENT and 9th
crwlsc, for the improvement ofour county
roads. Any of which, if acted upon,
would certainly help to remove the cx-
ist'ng evil of bad roads. But it appears
to us that if the means at our disposal
were properly applied, it would make Il
great improvement, without adding to
the debt of the county.
In looking over some of the back
numbers of the INDEPENDENT, l no.
ticed letter signed, j. III. r., Battle
Ground, wherein he strongly recon-
mends the Importance of planking our
county roads, which would be the thing
in dens"Iy populated country; but
where there is but one or two for each
mile of the road, j. IL. +. thinks of
most Importance, that it would be of
any particular advantage in the rainy
season. We think the proposition con-
sidcrably ahead of the times. If some
of the worst mud holes were bridgcd,
which could be done with split timber,
and a little ditching done, the road
would be rendered passably good at all
seasons; which is more than can BE- said
of roads in many parts Of the county.
Reform in the present management
of road affairs is greatly needed. In
the first place, road work is generally
done at the wrong time of the year.
Fall work on old roads is a positive in
jury in many instances, instead of
benefit; fill ruts with loose earth and if
it isn't washed out it forms a mud hole
but if the roads were worked in the
spring, Or early summer, they would be
packed solid before the rainy reason.
These are plain facts, and have been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of all
yet we 60 on from year to year, doing
the same work over again and again,
which, if done properly would be
great saving of labor, and there would
be less grumbling about bad roads.
Another reform would be to empower
Supervisors to collect road tax at any
season Of the year, (thcy can only on
special occasions, l bclicvc) or what
would. be better, collect road tax in
money, and hire good capable men to
do the work. This would affectually
remove the difficulty Of working the
roads at the right time, as many of the
settlers have to work out during the
season that the roads should be worked.
A reform of this kind we think would
be in accordance with the desires of
four-fiiihs of the tax paying part of the
and it is to be hoped that
the question will be kept moving until
we come to some more economical and
satisfactory plan of keeping up our
roads. TAX PAYER.

Ohio and Indiana.


The important effect which the results
of the October elections will have on tie
National election, turns all eyes to Ono |
and Indiana. We can see no reason Tor |
doubling that tie Republicans will carry
Ohio by large majority, this year, and
make important gains of Congressman. The
Democrats call the State doubtful because,
in 1873, they secured ST. msjarity for
Allen, for Governor and, in 1874, their
candidate for Secretary o. State received
l. ,202 majority but, in these years, the
Republican vote was from 60, 900 to iO,Ooo
less than 1872 A Western writer says
- While the Democrats have a habit OF
voting regularly there is i'll every State OF
the Union large Republican vote which
invariably disappears after each Presidential
election, not again to appear until the
choice Of the succeeding chief magistrate.
Last year, Gov Hayes was elected by
majority oi j,544 over Gov. Allen. The
canvass wac very active, and the whole 'ote
Of the State Was unusually large and the
Democratic candidates gained much more
from the greenback eienleut than they can
gain from it, this year.
This year, the canvass is exceedingly
spirited The fact that sou Of Ohio heads
the National ticket puts the Republicans to
their met.le, and lends great enthusiasm to
their efforts The considerable independent
vote is almost all going Republican. We
have no fears for Ohio.
Indiana is more doubtful The Republi-
cans are making splendid canvass there.
Their meetings are large and enthusiastic,
while tie Democrats find it uphill work to
rouse any enthusiasm. Gov. Hendricks,
himself, spoke the other day 10 an audience
of but 400 persons, though the meeting had
been widely advertised. Letters from there
say that the German vote, which the Demo
Gratis have counted on, will largely fail them.
But Indiana is a close State. 1t has been
the home Of the greenback heresy and it Is
still active there, although it has maniiestiy
seen It's best days The chief aim OF the
Democrats has been to wiz those who sup
p1Yt this here>y They will probably gain
something from this element, but there are
other issues in the canvass which are likely
to oyerroner tits. with most of the green
/ hackers who are otherwise Republicans in
principe 1t j. to be noted, however, that
Indiaua would not be lost to the Republican
| Presidential ticket even if the Democrats
should carry that State, next month. A
most Invariably, the Republicans haye car
riei ;he State in November, after losing it in
October. In 1872 the Democrats had lis
in October, bot the Republicans carried the
State ly - ,jl5 majority in November. \
defeat Of the Democrats there, in October,
would be fatal to them but the Republi-
cans, a. er,tofore, may lose in October, and
still besure Of winning in November. More
over. they can lose the State in November,
aud still be sure of carrying the Presidential
election The best prospect now IS that the
Republicans will carry the STATE both in
October and November.

that two companies had been sent

and the judgment Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, to intimidate our Demo-
cratic voters that their presence did not

time Of war on the battlefield, and were not
frightened by them, and that we could not
be inundated by their presence in time of
a profound peace. | also told them if the
Radicals went armed to the election pre-
cincts, to 60 armed also, and if the Radicals
attempted to force the Democrats from the
ballot-box, as they had done on previous
elections, to use sufficient force to remove |
them out of the way, and if it became neces- !
sary in order to remove them to shoot, to do |
SO, rather than be prevented from casting
their votes for Tilden and Hendrick and |
for Hampton and Simpson. also advised
