The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-11-30
John Randolph.

The election of several Northern
schoolmasters to Congress by Southern
constituencies recalls an anecdote about
John Randolph. One afternoon the We
hement Virginian was leaving the Capt.
toll with Representative Dana, of Con-
nectlcut, and others, when a drove of
mules was 'riven across PENNSYLVANIA
avenue. "There go some eff your Con-
necticut constituents, Dana" said Ran
dolph, in his squeaking falsetto voice.
Yes" was the prompt reply, "they
are On their way South to teach school,
and we may see some of them sent back
as Congressman.
Randolphs witticisms were for many
years often quoted ut the Capitol, some
times in debate. John Tyler, one day,
thought that he could make point by
reproducing one, and inquired of Sena-
tor Holmes, of Maine, what had become
of the political firm spoken of by Mr..
Randolph as "James Madison, Felix
Grundy, John Holmes and the devil"
Mr.. Holmes at once rose and said: "Mr.
President, will tell the gentleman from
Virginia what has become of that firm.
The senior partner is dead, the second
partner has gone into retirement, and
the fourth and last-named partner has
gone over to the nullifiers and is cleo
pioneering the lower counties of Vir-
gina. l submit, sir, as the only remain
ing member of the firm, that the part
nership is legally dissolved - Tyler
had nothing more to say.-"Perley," IN
Boston Journal.

Comfort for Uneasy s,omacbs.

That Incompatible ant-dyspeptic cordial,
carminative and appetizer, Hostettefs Stom-
ach Bitters, yields comfort to the uneasy stom-
ach with degree of promptitude most crafty
ing to the victim of Indigestion. The eradica-
ton of dyspepsia by the Bitters is, of course,
accompanied by the disappearance of every
one OF its multifarious and puzzling symp-
toms, among which may be mentioned as the
most prominent, heartburn, fatulence, alb
dolninal oppression after eating, and sinking
at other times, palpitations OF the heart, water
brash. vertigo, sick headache and nausea
Hostetter's Bitters tone and regulate the vari-
Gus organs which assist in the processes of
assimilation, secretion and evacuation fortify
the system against malarious fevers, and de-
velop in the enfeebled system fresh stores OF
vitality. In efficacy as in popularity, they sur
pass any tonic on regulating medicine of the age.

Texas Lands and Climate.

Mr.. o. @. Gibbs, of Downer's Grove,
Ill, has just returned from an extended
journey through Arkansas and Texas,
with a view to stsdying the inducements
for settling in those States, and is Civ
ing to the press his views upon the sub
iect. He reports Arkansas as too heav-
ily timbered to make its land desirable
for farming purposes, and, as a whole,
the inducements for new settlers in that
State are not as fattering as in Texas.
In the latter State he found thousands
of acres of choice lands, which can be
had at from 81 to SO per acre, accord
ing to locality. All good lands in the
State are in the hands of good parties,
Government land not being found un-
less the settler goes far beyond civiliza-
ton. Therefore he deems it best for
immigrants to arrange with owners of
land, as they thus secure much better
locations.
He suggests that those who desire to
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-11-30

buy land should start with at least $500,
but if the immigrant has no money other
than enough to go with, then the better
way is to rent for year or two house
and farm, which are readily to be OBJ
tanned from the owners OF the lands.
The climate OF Texas he discovered to be
as desirable as that to be found in the
Northwestern States. The heat is no
more oppressive than is sometimes ex-
perienced in Minnesota, though the
warm weather is much longer continued.
He advises the Northern people
against settling upon timbered land, the
bottom grounds or the fiat lands, or, in
other words, he recommends the immi-
grants from the North. as matter O
precaution to health, to settle upon the
high rolling prairie lands, millions of
acres of which are yet to be had. He re-
ports Northerners rapidly pouring into
Texas, and says the authorities claim
that the population of the State increased
over 200, 900 last year.
AS whole, the prospects for the poor
man are quite flattering in Texas.

lIllaZi.

The title of Ghazi, which has been
conferred on Mukhtar and Osman Pashas,
is one of great distinction, and is rarely
bestowed on subject of Turkey. 1t is
matter of record that it is nearly 800
years since any individual was selected
for such an honor. In the sixteenth
century, during the great wars of the
Turks and Western Europe, it was con-
ferred on one or two occasions. The
last time it was bestowed in modern days
was upon the fortress of Shumla, which
is always designated in official docu-
ments as Ghazi Shumla. This fortress
has been besieged twenty-seven times,
and has never been captured. The title
is conferred on cities and Notifications
and their successful defenders.

Soldiers War CIaims.

Every soldier who entered the United
States military service during the late war
mounted on his own horse is by law en-
titled to DO paid for the same if lost in that
service. The records as to loss of horses in
battle, or forced marches, or by other mill
tary exigcncies, and in remote places, can
not be complete. The officers having juris-
diction in the settlement of these cases i'm
pose rigid rules as to evidence, to comply
with which the soldier is subjected to great
labor, expense and delay, and although the
claims are small, they are never certified
for payment until entirely free from doubt
rs to their validity. If these creditors are
compelled 10 resort to court to intorce
their claims, the expenses would prob
ably exceed the amount involved hence
proposition to submit them to court, is
substantially to repudiate them, by making
1t necessary to exhaust their value in the
expense Of a judicial investigation.
On account of the rigid rules as to evil
dence and the difficulty and expense of Sc
curing testimony, Secretary SHERMAN found
large number of this class of claims, which
had accrued during the late war, still pend
ing when he entered upon his duties, and
thOy fell within the class designated by him
"long accrued or past due claims" The
Secretary does not appear to be on friendly
terms with these claims, and the feeling of dis.
sent seems to be graduated and proportioned
according to the time they chance to have
been due, His aversion appears to act in
geomotrical ratio from the war of 1912 OF
the Mexican war down to the late war, and,
like the gathering ball rolled in the snow,
when it reaches cases which occurred
in tho war to crush rebellion ii
seems to have reached gigantic pro-
portions. Under this frame of mind the
Secretary has seen fit to exercise his inge-
nllity 10 find some means to prevent the
drain upon the Treasury that the pNEmcnt
of these clnims would involve; and if these
are not honest, well-sustaiued claims, he Is
right; but If they are such he must be
wrong. The examination Of sections 34sG
nnd 34s3 of the Revised Statutes, enacted
Juno 81, 1874, from nine to thirteen years
after most of these claims had originated, il
will be seen that they were declared to be
"debts" due by the United States. And by

THE Democratic papers, with characteristic
unfairness are insinuating that the objection
to Senator BUTLER's proposed investigation on
Saturday was made out Of pure partisan malice,
and because tho Republicans who objected did
not want to have facts brought to light. These
papers know full well that tho objection was
made only because 1t had been agreed on Fri
day that no business should be transacted on
Saturday. After the recess If Senator BUTLER
still wants to be investigated, he will be &c.
commodated to his hearts content. But 1t Ia
