CARL SCHURZ AND EX.LIEU7'EN'
ANT GOTERNOR MUELLER.

When Carl Schurz was at Cleveland
to make a "great Republican German
Speech" on Thursday evening of last
week, he met with rather cool recep-
ton. None of his old German friends
and associates called upon him, and as
the "mountain would not 60 to Moham-
med" the consequence was, "Mahom-
med went to the mountain" He first
called on Governor Mueller, where he
was eoldly received, and before attempt
ing to call on Mr.. Theme, editor of the
WGchter am Erie, he sent Mr.. McColn
there to see if he would be welcome, and
Mr.. Theme positively refused to receive
him. This must have been quite humil-
iating to Mr.. Schurz.

IsHAM G. HARRIS of Tennessee, who
was Governor of that State when the war
broke out, was recently nominated by
the Democracy for Elector for the State
at large, but the opposition manifested
against him On account of his rebel rec
ord was such that he withdrew his name
from the ticket. After declaring his
readiness to vindicate the Constitutional
rights of every man, without regard to
race, nationality, color or previous con-
dition, he says:
"When the Confederate soldiers sur
rendered their arms eleven years ago,
the people of the Confederate States sur
rendered with them in good faith the is
sues in which the war had its origin
From that day every intelligent citizen
of those States has regarded the issues Of
the war as settled finally and forever,
and has endeavored to make himself
law-abiding and good citizen, deeply in
terested in the peace, prosperity and
happiness, of not only his State, but of
all the States of the Union. five would
make this country prosperous and hap
py, the people of the North and South
must place themselves upon a higher
plane, broader nationality and broader
brotherhood; forget the sectional preju-
dices and hates which have heretofore
prevailed, and are to-day, to some extent
prevailing, and return to simple, and
economical methods Of administration"
In commenting upon this letter. the
Memphis Appeal says, that like every
other prominent rebel, Gov. Harris ac-
cepts the results of the war as unaltera-
BILE, and concurs with the united voice
of the South in accepting all that was
decided by these results, without the re-
motest expectation or desire of disturb
ing dead and buried issues. And, with
the best facilities for knowing the tone of
public sentiment in the South, we have
no hesitation in saying that the views
expressed by Gov Harris and in the APP
peal, are those which generally prevail
throughout the reconstructed States.

FOREST PLANTING IN FRANCE.

The past spring has been very favora-
BILE to the large areas in France lately
planted in forests. 1t is stated that s.
10000 hectares or 12, $50 900 acres, about
half the area of Ohio, have become un-
productive as agricultural lands. Pine
trees without any cultivation, and very
inexpensive supervision, can be made to
grow upon these barren acres, netting
about $3.50 per acre of annual profit
This would add to the productive capaci-
ty of these lands about S30,000,0OO per
annum. Other trees have been planted
with similar economic results, and now
landed proprietors are looking to tree
planting as a means of utilizing their
unproductive acres.

Hon. RUFUS P. RANNEY was nominated
by the Democracy of Cuyahoga county.
(the Goth district for Congress. This is
a most excellent nomination, and Mr..
Ranney will make a good successor to
Hon. Henry B Payne. We have no
doubt the Democracy of the Goth will
"put their shoulders to the Wheel" and
triumphantly elect Mr., Ranney, and
thus do a good thing for the Democracy
and the people of the country.

Lost i'm thu Woods.

One evening last week gang of men
employed in Chambers camp started
from their work to the camp. Thinking
to save a little distance they started
through the woods, instead Of following
the road. They soon became bewildered
and found themselves going in circle.
Among the five men there could only be
found one broken match. They made
the most of it, and started fire. There
was little excitement in camp when
the ren did not come. and it was soon
surmised that they had become lost. A
searching party was soon organized and
started out with guns and tin horns. BY
firing guns and blowing horns the lost
men were found about midnight, and
brought into camp about four O'Clock in
the morning.

Rev. Mr.. Males Lecture.

Notwithstanding the very limited no
tice given that Mr.. Male would give a
short account of his trip to Washington.
on Monday evening, there was quite a
large number gathered at the church to
hear it. The number would have been
greater had the weather been more pleas
ant. Mr.. Males lecture was, as he said
it would be in the commencement, more
of q conversation than q lecture. He
was simply talking with his fam
lily. His account of his journey to
Washington, and his experience in the
departments was very interesting. AS
might be naturally expected, he was
drawn toward the revival work which
was in pr ogress there, and as far as he
was able, entered into it. This, Of course,
led him to talk much about this work,
and the manner in which it was conduct
ed. Many things which others might
have seen in Washington, and considered
of much more Importance, Mr.. Male did
not see at all, but bis heart was in his
life work there rs well as here, and his
lecture unconsciously showed it, and
although his lecture was not what many
expected it would be, there was none but
what enjoyed it more, because it was so
like the man.

Resignation of Rev. j. L. Male.

The resignation-of Rev. j. L. Maile as
pastor of the Congregational Church of
this village, which had beel in some
what indefinite form for some weeks,
there being somedoubt as to whether Mr..
Male had intended to resign or not, as
sumed a degnite shape last Monday night
after the close of his lecture, ut which
time Mr.. Male stated that by the advice
of eminent physicians, a change of eli.
mate vas necessary to the restoration of
his health; and onillis ground he formal
ly rendered hisrcsignation, (which, after
due consideration, was accepted by the
congregation, and w. Chandler and C. S.
Ramsay were appointed committee to
act in conjunction with Mr.. Male in draw
ing up paper setting forth the facts of
the case, and asking tie severance of the
relation as pastor and people, the same to
be submitted to a council to convene at
the time of the next meeting of Confer
ence. Ee Ns~ssE seaar Sc
Mr.. Male came to Chcboygan in the
fall of 1S7l-a stranger to all. There
was no church organization to welcome
him, but he soon, by his jealous labors
and earnestness of purpose, gained the
sympathy of the entire community, and
has done more than any other one per-
son, in perfecting the organization and
erecting church building.
As was to have been expected i'm new
country like this, his work has been an
arduous one, and he has met with
many discouragements, but his heart
was in the cause, and by his encr-
yand determinateness ofpurpose, many
of the difficulties have been surmolnted.
As a pastor, he has made the interests
Of the church his own interest, and has
labored faithfully and efficiently, both
for its spiritual and temporal welfare.
In his contact with the community at
large, he has won their esteem and con-
fidence, as has been manifested on differ
ent occasions i'm substantial manner.
The necessity which called for his resig-
nation swih, doubtless, be deeply regret
ted by our citizens generally, and on their
behalf We would tender Mr.. Male their
regrets, and assure him of their sympathy
and desire for his complete restoration to
health, and for his future prosperity in
his labors Of love, and would cordially
recommend him to any community in
which he may locate as every way worthy
their confidence and love. Mr.. Maile
will always retain warm place in the
affections of his late charge, and his loss
to them will be deeply felt. Cheboygan
will lose minister who has ever had its
interests sincerely at heart. ss7S
After the acceptance of the resignation,
Mr.. Maile very touchingly alluded to his
connection. with the Church as its pastor.
and assured the congregation of his con-
tinued love and desire for their continued
prosperity.

A Large Claim.

There is now pending before Congress
i'm Washington large claim, in which
Frank Sammons of this village is inter-
ested to a considerable amount. The
claim is for money advanced during the
revolutionary war by Mr.. Summons
grandfather. The amount originally was
$500, and that amount, we believe, Con-
gress has always been willing to pay /; but
the present claimants are not willing
to be satisfied with this; they claiming
that they should receive the interest on
the amount from the time it was adj
vanced until the present time. Com
pounding the interest the claim would
now amount to upwards of $4,000. If
the claim was just in the first place, and
we see 10 reason to doubt it, we cannot
see why it should not be paid with in
terest. The precedent which has been
established in paying the claims caused
by the late war would certainly be in
favor of this course.
Mr.. Summons grandfather was a cap
tain in the revolutionary war, and came
near losing his life ON several occasions.
Once he was knocked down, and his as
sailants attempted to, and thought they
had, cut. his throat, and left him for dead,
but an old-fashioned stock saved him, so
that he afterward advanced the money
which makes the basis of the present
claim. The original order upon which
the money was paid, was written upon a
piece of brown paper, and is at present
in the hands of the claimants. 1t will
probably be sent to the Centennial ex-
hibition.

Mr.. RollO then offered some resolutions
amending the constitution in conformity
to the report of the Finance committee,
which, uuder the rules, were laid over
for action until the next meeting of the
association.
The Secretary then made verbal report
of the proceedings and acts of the Board
of Directors, and of his correspondence
since the last meeting, which led to con-
siderable informal conversation regarding
the general welfare of the association and
the interests of the place, and the lack of
interest taken by the members in the
meetings of the association.
The consideration Of several matters
of importance was by general consent
postponed until special meeting which
will be called soon.
We would say here, that if the associa-
tion accomplish the results which it
should, that the members must take a
greater interest in the meetings. The Ia
Dor must not devolve upon one Or two.
The coming spring will be a critical pc
riod in the history of Cheboygan, and la
Dor bestowed now i'm the proper direction
will accomplish greater results than
could be expected at later period. We
trust that we shall see no more apathy
on the part of our citizens.
