Mercury is still on the rise; it is

Croquet is yet the evening'samuse-

OFPOSTMAS-
TER GENERAL JEWELL.

Postmaster General Jewell, at the
request of President Grant, has re-
signed his position in the Cabinet,
and ex-Congressman, j. N. Tyner of
Indiana, at present Second Assistant
Postmaster General, has been APP
pointed to succeed Mr. Jewell. The
sudden and unexpected dismissal of
the Postmaster General looks very
much as if General Grant meant to
use the remainder of his term for
the qualification of his private ca
prices and enmities. Mr. Jewell has
conducted the Postoffice Department
with singular ability conscientiously
and well, and to the general satisfac-
tion of the public. But in doing this
it appears he has not entirely pleased
the autocratic President, and so off
goes his head. That is, we presume,
the military style of running things.
General Grant is a man the true in
wardness of whom seems to be past
finding out. He will retire from his
present high position unhonored, un-
Wept and unsung.

The corn is looking well but needs
a good soaking rain.
Farmers generally have gathered
their wheat, and are now saving the
oat crop, which is a fair average
one.
The weather has been exceedingly
hot for a week or so, and neither
man nor horse can do q full days
work in the field.
There has been less bass fishing at
this point, thus far, this summer,
than for several years past. We pre-
sumo the weather has been too hot.
Both parties here seem generally
satisfied with their respective Pres
idential nominations. The Demo
Gratis with Tilden and the Republi-
cans with Hayes. There are some in
both parties who. favor the issue of
more greenbarks, taxation of bonds
and the adjustment of National
Banks, who are not suited-both can
didates being opposed to these meas
ures. But there is little said here
about politics, and not likely to be
much enthusiasm. PAT.

Y ACCEPTANCE.

Elsewhere will be found Governor
Hayes letter accepting the Republi-
can nomination for the Presidency
of the United States. 1t is brief and
terse, and thinking men of either
party must admit that all existing
issues have been squarely met, and
positions emphatically and unequiv-
ocally defined. 1t is a modest model
letter, worthy of careful study by the
people, and Of a style hat politicians
might do well tosimitate. AS far as
he is concerned he has settled all ques-
tions about a second term, and con-
sequently those who have been rails
ing an empire OF monarchy on paper
must feel considerably relieved. If
he is as prompt and decisive in exc
cutting mature and well-digested
opinions DIS he seems to be in FORM
ing them, there can be no doubt of
his competency to fill the chief exec
utive position of this country.

The residence Of Mr.. Hiram Hedges
near this place, was struck by light
ming on the evening ofthe 18th. MI.

Our esteemed townsman, who suf-
fered from sun stroke last week, and
the subsequent rag baby adventure,

never enjoyed the felicity of a married
life and a family of interesting little
ones, is fit for nothing, and always
gets cross when a baby is mentioned,
and will misrepresent things. He econ
templates a m~edico-legal investiga-
ton.

A MTSTAKE.

In our opinion the partizan press
are making a mistake in the charac-
ter of their attacks on the Hon. Carl
Schurz. 1t is not unfrequently that
partizan zeal like vaulting ambition,
DER leaps itself. The assaults now
being made upon ex-senator Schurz,
is a case in point. When Mr.. Schurz,
Disguised with the partizan legisla-
tion and corruption of the Grant adj
ministration, took open and direct
issue with his party, the Democratic
press gave him full credit for
independence, honesty and ability,
and his motives were impugned and
questioned by the Republican organs.
Now, when Mr.. Schurz, who is one
of the most earnest and able advo-
Gates Of specie resumption in the
country, refuses to endorse the st.
Louis platform which declares in fa-
vor of the repeal of the resumption
act, some Democratic papers charge
that he is governed in his action
by corrupt motives-that he has
been bought to oppose the st. Louis
platform. We incline to the opinion
that such dastardly attacks upon the
character Of a man like Mr.. Schurz
will not add to the strength of the
party making them. Mr.. Schursh has
occupied the highest official position
which can be conferred upon him by
the American people, and we do not
believe that any man a truthfully
assail his honesty, integrity or patri-
otism. 1t is a very easy thing for a
reckless, partizan editor to assert
that Mr.. Schurz has received SIC, 900
OIL $4,000 for his support of this or
that candidate 0 measure. The same
could be asserted of any man in the
United States. But such assertions
made against men of the high char
acter of Mr., SchuZ, will not hurt
him half sc much as the man who
makes it and the party which sane
tions it. The era of political cam
paigns conducted on villiication and
abuse of opponents has passed in this
country. The great mass of the peo-
pie read and think, and they will
seek for the facts, and when they
come to vote will do so intelligently.
NO honest man, who has the intelli-
ligence to think for himself will be
governed in the slightest degree in
his vote by the low vulgarisms and
baseless assertions of ~virulent parti-
Zans, and especially not when the at
tacks are made on men of such pure
and lofty character as Carl Schurz.
