Sheridan Right For Onco.

Gen. Sheridan was right about eI-
Gov. J. Madison Wells, and vet not
more than half right, after all. He
did not give Gov. Wells half so bad a
character as that worthy has just given
himself. His testimony given before
the House Committee was such as
could only have been given by a rogue
who feared that he might feel the halt
er draw if he told too much. He was
asked by the members if he could state
the total number of votes cast in Lou
isiana, and he said that he had not
charged his memory with it! On
other points he wasjust as marvelously
ignorant. He did not know whether
the action of the Returning Board in
Louisiana chad changed the result of
the election" or not he did not know
whether the Returning Board "threw
out 10000 votes" or not; he did not
know whether they threw out "a
hundred or thousand votes" lie, the
Chairman of the Louisiana Returning
Board, testifying under oath, declares
that he does not know things which
are perfectly well-known to every in
telligent newspaper reader in this
country. He presided over the throw
ing out of votes, and yet does not know
how many were thrown out. He
counted out Tilden and counted in
Have. with his own hands, and vet he
does not know whether 1.-THE result Of
the election was changed" This is
bald perjury, and it is this accom-.
plished rascal, who assumed TO rob the
people of the United States of the right
10 choose their own President!

Having had the pleasure of examining
closely the samples Of tobacco, shown
at Hartford on Saturday the 3rd inst, in
the competition for premiums given by
you, and competed for, by subscribers to
your valuable paper.
l have thought it not ont of place to
give here, few hints which may be use-
full to the planters Of your county. |
have seldom, il ever, seen finer display
of samples, they had everything in them
that constitutes fine tobacco. substance,
color and length, the premium samples
being unusually rich and snowy.
think the exhibition shows very plainly
that the planters of Ohio county seem to
understand the culture of tobacco very
thoroughly.
have always found that fine tobacco
was only made by thrifty intelligent and
thinking men, who study the soil and
top and work the tobacco accordingly,
and knowing the value of their labor,
take pains TO see that it lie properly cured
sni carefully hsndlsd. A mans handi.

"a Republican Form of Govern
ment.'

The New York Nation says with
commendable ardOr: eve think We
shall before long see the public in full
concurrence with Governor Robinson,
of this State, that a State which has
Returning Board like that of Louisiana
does not possess a Republican form of
government" That is the gist of the
whole Louisiana controversy. The
Republicans, who are splitting hairs
with q great show of fairness over mi
nor Constitutional points of technical
interest, forget that at the bottom Of
this whole unhappy dispute lies the
great fundamental wrong that the
Government of the United States does
not guarantee to the State of Louisiana
. Republican form of government, as
the Constitution requires. What is
the use of splitting hairs over the right
of the President of the Senate to cast
the vote or the power of the two
Houses or the duties of the teliers,
while back of all the machinery of
counting the vote lies the one appalling
fact that the people of a sovereign
State have no means of saying how
their vote shall be cast. The Consti-
tuition of the United States makes
every possible provision for protecting
the right of a State to make its will heard
in the choice ola President, but the
trainers of that instrument did not con-
template for a moment such q condi-
ton of affairs IS exists in Louisiana.
The people of that State elected Nc
Emery, Governor, and Kellogg was
counted in; they elected Nichols, and
Packard was counted in; they cast
their vote for Tilden, and it was
counted for Hayes. Year after year
their voice has been stifed. This is
not Republican form of government;
it is not government at all. It is
usurpation and tyranny.
Do you think this language too
sweepingi Hear what the man says
who framed the law under which the
Louisiana Returning Board acts,
Judge Hugh L. Campbell. His view,
impartially stated by the nation, i,
"'the ballots put in the boxes are
merely ballots until the returns are
made up by the Board. In the eye Of
the law the Board is constructively
present at all the polls, receives all the
ballots, and purifes and asserts them,
but they do not become votes until the
Board has passed upon them. In fact,
the Board casts the vote of the State
and properly holds the Stale elections. >
IL this what you call a Republican
form of government?

Since have located at Beaver Dam, l

one thing which deterioratcs the value of a
large per cent of the tobacco raised IN
the county. Many of the planters have
not the proper kind of seed. The narrow
leaf tobacco, which is common here, and
which many prefer on account of being
more easily handled in the field, never
will pay, being only Suitable for common
shipping purposes, and is several grades

meas and liberality, in presenting annual
premiums for the best samples Of tobacco

themselves to raise a higher and more

week. Mr. G. W. Hussey sold mis- en-
tire interest TO Messrs Magan & Hewlett.
The new firm claims that new broom

sweeping. Messrs. Holbrook & Rogers
claim an old and new broom jointly, and
claim superior facilities for busting things
down, 80 as to look nice and please the
old, young, the grave and the gay. So
we may expect low figures on all classes
of goods this spring.
