WASHINGTON, Oct. u.-Three colored
men, Messrs. Rainey, Smalls and Cain,
were declared elected members of the
House of Representatives by the South
Carolina Returning Board, and Mr..
Chamberlain issued certificates TO all Of
them. The seats Of all three are con-
tested by the Democratic candidates
who opposed them, Messrs. Richardson,
Tilman and O'Connor. These gentle
men have arrived with their papers,
which included statements from Gov.
Hampton and the Secretary Of State.
They have no doubt OF their admission
on the merits of the case, irrespective of
the fact that all three Of their COMPETE
tors have been discovered as disgrace

How Mr.. Fly takes a Wash.
Louisville COurier-Journal.

The toilet of the fly is as carefully at
tended to as that of the most frivolous
of human insects. With contempt
for the looking glass-an article which
he reserves for the most ignoble uses
he brushes himself up and wabbles his
little round head, chuck full of vanity,
wherever he happens to be. Sometimes,
after long day of dissipation and firt-
ing, with his six small legs and little
round body all soiled with syrup and
butter and cream, he passes out of the
dining and wings his way to the
clean, white cord along which the morn:
glories climb, and in this retired spot,
needless of the crafty spider that is
practicing gymnastics few feet above
him, he proceeds to purify and sweeten
himself for the refreshing repose and
soft dreams of the halmy summer night,
so necessary to one who is expected to
be early at breakfast. 1t is wonder
full toilet Resting himself on his front
and middle legs, he throws his hind legs
rapidly over his body, binding down his
frail wings for an instant with the pres
sure, then raking them over with back
ward motion, which he repeats until

are twelve companies of United States
troops, six companies of the ed Infant
ry, and six of the 9th, also company of
regular cavalry At 11:4O A. M. the
regular artillery proceeded to the via
duct at the crossing of Halstead and
Sixteenth street, which was the princi-
pal. rendezvous of the insurgents, and
soon after the booming of cannon show
ed that the regulars had opened on the
mob. These volleys, as was afterwards
ascertaned, were with blank cartridges,
but they had the effect to dispense the
rabble, who however would rally at some
other point. The rioters have a whole
some fear Of the Government troops, and
whenever they appear, scatter. During
the day the troops came in contact with
the mob at several points, invariably
scattering them and taking many pris-
oners. The cavalry charged on the Six
teenth street mob with drawn sabres, kill
ing ten and wounding $50. At 1905 p.
Nj. the I'd Regiment of Illinois Militia
had fight with the mob on Halstead
street, firing two volleys into them and
clearing the street. The situation at mid
night was this The mob seemed to be
dispersed at all points: the police were
taking a well earned rest and the militia
ry were holding the battle grounds of the
day. 1t was expected however that the
rioters would renew the fight this
morning, and for this the authorities
were well prepared.
Further east the troubles seem to be
nearly over, no formidable demonstra-
tons being made at any point. The New
York Central and Erie roads have re-
sumed operations and trains are running
as usual. At st. Louis, however, the
situation is critical, and the authorities
are enrolling the citizens and perfecting
other means to preserve order.
The Dubuque papers represent every
thing quiet at that point, though the
city is infested with hordcs of tramps.
At Clinton, Iowa, yesterday, the saw
mill hands to the number of 1000 to
1900 struck for higher wages, and had
conference with the mill owners, who
kindly, but firmly, informed them that
the depressed state of the lumber bust
ness would not admit of compliance
with their demands. The answer seemed
to satisfy the most reasonable of the
strikers, but the balance refused to re-
sumo work, and were marching about
town compelling others to join them.
SO far nothing serious had occurred

they are bright and clear. Then he
pushes the two legs along his body un-
der the wings, giving that queer struc-
ture thorough currying, every now and
then throwing the legs out and rubbing
them together to remove what he has
collected from his corporal surface.
Next he goes to work upon his van.
Resting on his hind legs and middle legs
he raises his two forelegs and begins a
vigorous scraping of head and shoulders,
using his proboscis every little while to
push the accumulation from his limbs
At times he is so energetic that it seems
as if he were trying to pull his head of,
but no fly ever committed suicide. Some
Of his motions very much resemble those
of pussy at her toilet. 1t is plain, even
to the naked eye, that he does his work
thoroughly, for when he has finished he
looks like a new fly, so clean and neat
has he made himself within a few min
utes. The white cord is defiled, but
Floppy is himself again, and he bids the
morning -glories very good morning.

ARRANGEMENTS have been made for
grand blowout of all the Governors of
the States and Territories at Philadel-
phia, Aug. &C. The programme will be
as follows: A grand reception and Amer
lean dinner at Independence Hall, the
dishes being cooked in distinctively
American style, the table set with
American wares and cutlery, and the
wines and liquors native. The august
company will then go to Cape May, and
from there to New York where the
Governors, as the guests of Governor
Robinson and Mayor Ely, will partake
of a grand feed in the foreign style, the
dishes, tableware, liquors, &C., being
imported. Next the distinguished dig
nitaries, or those of them who survive,
will go to Boston, where Gov. Rice will
set before them mixed dinner, combin-
ing all that is excellent in foreign and
native cookery. The presumption is
that the liquors on this occasion will be
mixed also, in which case the reader can
easily picture to himself the condition
of their excellencies at the close of the
last entertainment. We have our doubts
whether Gov. Newbold will appear to
advantage on this occasion, as he has no
reputation as a gourmet or bon viUant.
IF we cared to have Iowa win real dis
tinction, we should say that the Gov
errors spree ought to be postponed at
least six months.

Big Crops and Good Prices.
Chicago Tribune,

There is an infallible specific for hard
times among farmers--big crops and
good prices. 1t is rare condition in
the nature of things. When the yield
is abundant, prices almost invariably de-
cline; when prices are good, there is gen
orally shortage of crops. A large sup
ply and a commensurate demand seldom
go together, Yet this is the flattering
prospect for the coming year, brought
about by series of circumstances that
have worked together as if for the es-
pecial benefit Of the hard times Cypress
ed American people.
First, there is the Russo Turkish war,
which has already lasted long enough to
make it certain that Great Britain will
be cut off in large part from the supply
of Russian wheat, which has heretofore
furnished about 40 per cent of British
consumption of the foreign supply. The
effects Of this are already noticed. 1t
has been the rule to lay in a large stock
of early wheat from Russia, but the
Black Sea ports have been closed and
prevented the export. Besides, the in
dications are that the war is going on.
This cannot fail to diminish Russian
production with a million men with
drawn from the fields. 1t will increase
Russian consumption, partly because Of
the inevitable waste and extravaganza
of war, and partly because Russia will
have to feed the inhabitants of Bulgar-
ia as the Russian armies advance; the

ABOUT two weeks since the Musca-
tine Journal, referring to John Hogarth
Lozier, was inspired to say: :" If there
is a bigger Office seeker in Iowa than the
Rev. John, we have yet to meet him.
That certainly appears to be an unaam-
blguous utterancc; but before passing
judgment upon its correctness. we
should want to know, 1st, in what sense
friend Mahin uses the word bigger
and I'd, what Office seekers he has met,
But there is a singular, but perhaps not
significant thing in connection with this
outspoken declaration, and that is that
the papers that have been known as
special and Jealous champions of Mr..
John II. Gear have, without exception
in quoting it-as they have with much
unction-changed its phraseology by
substituting the word "demagogue " in
place of office-seeker," as it appears
above OF course we must not suppose
that those papers did this with the idea
Of avoiding a comparison of the Office
seeking proclivities of the parties
named. By no means. But the fact
that they were all simultaneously in,
spired with the impulse to improve Bro
Mahin's pregnant sentence in the same
way, is certainly one of the most re.
markable condolences on record.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1877-07-27

THERE is disposition on the part of
many law abiding people to extend sym.
pathy to the railroad rioters, and to
practically condone their acts Of MUIR
der and pillage because of the injustice
done them by the companies in the mat
ter of compensation for their labor.
While it is true that many Of the strik-
ers have real grievances that call for
the notice and redress of the companies,
it is also true that any consideration of
this question is mistimed so long as the
strikers stand in an attitude Of hostility
and defiance of law and good order.
The action of the Erie Railroad, the
New York Central, the Pennsylvania
Railroad and some others, refusing alb
solutely to talk about compromise or
concession, prefering that their business
shall come to total stand still rather
than to recognize mob violence as a le-
gitimate factor in the situation, is the
proper course to pursue. Compromise
with men who have yet in their hands
the weapons of murder and the torch of
the incendiary, is worse than weakness.
IT is criminal
