the most successful terms work it has
been my privilege TO do in ST. Clairs-

have the the cooperation of those more

charge and watch over their children.
In simple candor say, that the course
now pursued by many of our people is
precisely the thing, if the ruin instead

is the end aimed at. Where do scores
of the boys and girls too, spend their
evenings? In Satan's own nursery

nothing on the right way to destroy
a child soul and body? These are plain
words, but not palmer than the truth!

"The Republican party of Iowa may
be likened, 10 the expressive language
of the historian of the Harp OF a Thous-

order or Southern policy that shakes

was shaking in Ohio, and some little

THn Evening Post saws that if this is

THE Evening Post says that if this is
the of yesr for the old parties it is de-
cidently the ION" year for the Other
parties, which for the moment seem to
have prospered amazingly ty the dis
affection or apathy of the Republicans
and Democrats One of the results of
the entrance of new questions into the
political Geld is to give Us a surprising
number Of utterance, and resolutions
which In moral philosophy range all
the way from Confucius to Tom Paine,
and in politics all the way from Pitt to
Steinberger. For example, who will
not be amused over the proposition in
troduced into the Massacb usetts
Woman Suffrage Convention at Boston
Wednesday gravely proposing the equal
distribution of wealth? We will not for
y moment be so impertinent as to ask
what this has to do with woman
suffrage, nor attempt to argue
the economical question with the
dogmatic delegates, nor least of all will
we dare to throw out the delegates, nor
least of all will we dare TO throw out
the dreadful suggestion that this pro-
position Is the consequence of the we'll

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

The war news is meagre. The Ro-
mauians assert that Turkish de5erters
from Plerena report that Osman
Pasha's army is destitute of clothing,
and ammunition and scantily provi-
stoned. The men and officers are tired
Of fighting and are disposed to desert.
Thsl Russian Imperial Guard have all
gone to~Plevna, and the Czarowitch
will not command, in order to avoid
ciashing with the Prince of Rcmania.
The floating batteries off the mouth
of the Danube have been bombarding
Sullina for three days. The Turks re-
port that the batteries have been re-
pulsed.
The French elections passed off
quietly. Both parties are disappointed
with the result. The Government
hoped to increase their delegates by one
hundred, aud will not obtain mere
than fifty, while the Republicans hop
ed to swell their deputies up to four
hundred. but will not have mure than
three hundred and twenty.

POLITICAL NOTES.


OF course it's an off-year, but isn't it
a little too ''offw
Iowa is safe after all, but nobody
seems to care much about it.
The Ohio Democrats rose above
party, that's fact, but it was the wrong
party.
There seems to be here and there q
Republican who is taking comfort in
soiii chunks by remarking, "I told you
sO."
Several Democratic newspapers has
ten to announce the demise of the Re
publican party, and are anxious 10
hold the funeral without delay. 1t IS
easy enough to appoint the funeral, but
it is another thing to prepare the
corpse. The Republican party is too
patriotic to think of dying so long as
the Democracy survives to make mis-
chief.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Congress met on Monday. The par
ticular business for which the extra
was called is the passing Of a
bill making provision for the support
of the army. As everybody knows,
the Army Appropriation bill wa,
strangled on the night that the last
Congress adjourned. The Democratic
majority In the House insisted on in
eerting a provision to the effect that the
army should not be used to assist either
of the contending State governments
in South Carolina and Louisiana in en-
forcing its authority, and imposing a
penalty for violating this section OF the
law. The Senate refused to accede 70
this proposition, and after numerous
conferences each House determined to
adhere to its own action, and the bill
fell to the ground.
The appropriation for the support of
the army made at the preceding session
of Congress was for the fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1877. Since that date
the officers ami enlisted men have re-
ceived no pay from the United States
Treasury; but by an arrangement made
between the Secretary of War and
certain banking houses the certified
pay warrants of such soldiers as are
willing to submit to discount CT one
half per cent, per month are cashed
the banks taking the risk of getting
their money back when Congress
meets. The Southern question having
been solved by the withdrawal of the
troops from South Carolina and Louisi.
ana, the amendment to the Army
Appropriation bill which killed it at
the last session has ceased to be q
practical issue, and we do not suppose
that any attempt will ba made at thi.
session to revive thu Old qIlrrel.
a IL Is quite probable, however, that
an effort will. be made to cucumber the
Army bill with provision cutting
down the effective force to 10, 900 men OIL
less. Should such proposition be sub
mitted it will provoke a controversy
that may again defeat the appropria'
ton, and leave the army to be subsist
ed for another quarter on ''credit."
There Is no other legislative business
that is likely to engage the attention
OF Congress at the extra session
The discussion of finsncia
matters will most probably be post
poned till the regular session. There
are a number of Executive nomina
tions to be acted on by the Senate
Beyond the passing Of the Army
appropriation bill and the confirma-
tion of Executive nominations, there
is no business claiming the attention o
Congress that cannot be postponed til
the regular session.

OFFICIAL RESULT

County.

Election day is over and the result
has been declared. The completion oi
the count was made in. the County
Clerks Office on Saturday, by the Clerk,
assisted by Justices Alexander, and
Neiswanger. The clOseness Of the vote
On Recorder made some anxious hearts.
A few voters either way would change
the result. When the Returning Board
reached Warren tow wnship In the count
Wright had only Z majority to go on.
rhe Certificate from that township
showed that Barnes had received
577 votes, and Wright 361. Previous
dispatches had announced differ
ent result. The variance in re-
ports led TO an examination of the tai
iy sheet which showed Barnes had re
ceived 582 votes; this left Wright with
majority. The scene now became
one of peeuIi interest, of alternate
hope and dispair. The count was con-
tinued and completed, leaving Wright
two ahead. After it Was concluded 1t
was discovered that the Certificate
from Goshen shove more votes for
Wright than was shown by the tally
sheet. Here was a dilemma for the
Democratic Justices. Ifthey followed
the precedent established 10 Warren.
and made the correction it would elect
Barnes by two majority. Ofcourse that
wouldn't do so, they hurried about
hastily and consulted political friends.
Pending there consulti0ns Wright and
Barnes agreed to send for the ballot
boxes in the disputed townships and
have an informal recount. On Satur-
day the Clerks of these townships ap-
peared with the boxes and duplicate
returns and a recount was had. In the
meantime Judge Chambers appeared
for Wright and stated that he wished
it distinctly understood that they
would not be bound by the recount.
The ballots in Warren did not bear out
the tally sheet, and gave Barnes but
SIC instead of 5S2 and increased the
vote OF Wright to 364 instead OF 36l.
In Goshen the ballots showed that
Wright had credit of five more in the
certificate than he received. The re-
suit of the recount would give Wright
4 majority. But the Judges refused to
change their original figures and left
Barnes 2 behind. The final result as
decided upon is given below in full.

IT is estimated by the London Time

1T is estimated by the London Times
that, of the 100000 Russians who cross
ed the Danube into Bulgaria, 60, ,OOO, or
80 per cent, have fallen in battle or by
d isease. The Turkish losses could
sc arcely have been less. 1t follows,
therefore, that the war has cost already
over 100000 men, exclusive of the
cam paign in Asia, and nothing has
been accomplished. The Christian
provinces that were to be delivered
from the oppression of the Turk are
overrun by hostile. armies, and are
having their substance consumed faster
even than under the Ottoman tax
gatherer. 1t is probably beginning
to be discovered on all hands that war
is an expensive luxury.
