The Increasing Demand for
Hogs,

The agricultural editor of the Iowi
State Register maintains the follow
ing sensible conclusions
There is no danger of over produc
tion in hogs AS our production in
creases the demand increases. The
foreign trade in the product of the
hog is large and important, and
is increasing every year. In the
year ending November 1, 1875, we
exported of hog product, 457, 49, ,970
pounds. For 1876, lacking sixteen
days, the exports were COS, $685. ,642
pounds. Taking the whole export
for this year, and allowing 200
pounds to represent a live hog (as
much of the export was rendered
lard and hams,) it viii be seen that
our foreign trade this year has taken
3,02S, ,29S hogs, being at least mil
lion more than the entire annual
slaughter at Chicago. And it took
1926 more hogs in 1876 to supply
our foreign trade that it did in 1875.
And there are evidences that there
will be largely increased demand in
1877 over this year. 1t is under
stood that there is now light stock
of old pork on hand. If justice is
therefore done, the producers pork
would command as good if not better
prices than at present, throughout
the fall and winter.

The End at Last! - Hayes
InauSurated.

After four months of uncertainty and
suspense, unprecedented in our national
history, the result of the Presi Dental elec-
tion of November last is at length decided,
in favor of the Republican candidates, and
on Monday last Rutherford B. Hayes was
peaceably inaugurated as Presid ent of the
q. States for the next four years. We re-
joice over this result, not only because we
believe it in accordance with Justice and
Right, but because We sincerely believe
that President Hayes will give the country
a wise, pure and able administration, and
do all in his power to restore peace and
loyalty to the Union throughout every Sec
he has marked out for himself in his admi-
rabie letter of acceptance, and in his inau-
gural address, which will be found on the
second page of our paper, will, we believe,
command the confidence and approval of
all candid, fair-minded men, of all parties
and if successfully carried out will effect a
loug-needed and salutary reform.
The details of the Inauguration will be
found elsewhere.
The new Cabinet, as far as announced,
is as follows:
Sec'y of State-Wm. NJ. Evarts, N. Y.
Sec'y of Treasury Sherman, o.
Sec'y of Interior-Carl Schurz, Mo.
P. NJ. General-David NJ. Key, Demo

Dom Piatt'S Infamous Ar
finIa

The following is an extract from
the article in the Washington Cap
ital, of Sunday, Feb. 18th, in regard
to the decision of the Louisiana case
in favor of Hayes. 1t appeared in
the editorial columns, and was made
more conspicuous by being double
loaded:
''Lf a man Mus returned to poaoer
can ride IN safety from the -Ecec~-
tiye Mansion to the Capitol to be IN
augurated, we are fitted for the
slavery that will follow the inaugu-
ration. We do not believe the peo-
pie of the United States are of the
servile set. We do not believe that
they are prepared, without blow,
to part with their hard earned, blood
stained possessions. Notice is here
by served on the citizens of South
Carolina and Louisiana that they
must now care for themselves. How
soon lamp posts will bear fruit is
for them to say. To the people of
the North and West, notice is given
that all the tyranny to which they
have been subjected, that bondhold-
ers and monopolists may fatten Sc
cure, is repaid by no security of their
rights, and that a shrinkage of.values
is now in order. IT. there IS loao
for fraud there IS reason for violence,
and to that aoe make oar last APP
peal"
Piatt has been arrested on the
charge of using seditious language,
calculated to excite rebellion, and
will probably have trial before the
q. S. Courts. He says he did not
mean to suggest the idea of assassi-
nation, but if the language he used
has any meaning, it amounts to
nothing less, andis SO construed by
all.
1t is but just to say, that the Dem
ocratic press generally, and all re-
spectacle Democrats, have denounced
the Infamous suggestion of Piatt );
and the universal outburst of public
Indignation which followed the ap-
pearance of the article, will no doubt
have a salutary effect in deterring
any one from attempting to repeat
the dangerous role of the assassin,
Booth. Should any such attempt be
made upon the life of President
Hayes, we would not like to be in
Dom Piatt's place about that par
ticular time.

MIR. Tilden's letter of acceptance
was buried out of sight three days
after it appeared. The letter OF
Governor Hayes remains to day one
of the most pithy and sententious po-
htical documents ever written. With
all the experience of the canvass and
the long suspense since the election,
it is doubtful if more sagacious
policy could be outlined than his let
ter contains. The closing paragraph
is timely reading. 1t is as follows
with civil service organized upon
system which will secure purity, ex-
perience, efficiency and economy ;
with strict regard to public vel.
fare solely in appointments; with
the speedy, thorough, and unspar-
ing prosecution and punishment of
all pubic officers who betray official
trusts; with sound currency; with
education unsectarian and free to all:
with simplicity and frugality in pub
lie and private affairs, and with a
fraternal spirit of harmony pervad-
ing the people of all section and
classes, we may reasonably hope
that the second century of our exist
ance as q nation will, by the blessing
of God, be pre- eminent as an era OF
good feeling and period of progress,
prosperity and happiness ''-[Tri-
bune.

Dom Piatt at Home.

The Ballefontaine Republican is
published at the home of Dom Piatt
of the Washington Capital, the man
who has booked himself for perpetu-
al infamy by openly suggesting the
assassination of President Hayes, in
his paper following the decision oi
the Louisiana case. The editor Of
the Republican, who knows Piatt
well, has this to say concerning the
character he bears among his most
intimate neighbors and acquaintan-
ces, and of the act which will disgrace
his name forever, in his country S
history.

scioto Valley Road.

The sfollowing is from the Chilli
-cothe Gazette, of last week.
Mr.. Chapman has made overtures
to the Scioto Valley Railway compa-
ny to take the road between this city
and Columbus off his hands, so as to
enable him to devote his whole time
to the completion of the road be-
tween this city and Portsmouth.
We understand that the Directors
think favorably of Mr.. Chapman's
proposition, and that the probabili-
ties are that he will be foot t-loose and
will devote his whole time to the
completion of the southern end OF
the road. The negotiations above
referred to are probably what has
given rise to the street report that
the Scioto Valley company was try
ing to force Mr.. Chapman out of the
management.

HARpER's MAGAZINE for February is
an unusually bright and fresh Mum
Der, with nearly sixty exquisite en-
cravings.
DR.. Bottoms article on 'The Log
Book of the Savannah is novelty.
The Savannah was the first steamer
that crossed the Atlantic. The log
book of the vessel, containinga a quaint
narrative of the voyage, is still pre-
served by the descendants of its
captain, Moses Rogers. A faithful
picture of the book itself, and a
fac-simile of one of its entries, are
among the illustrations of the ar
ticle. together with two portraits of
Captain Rogers, picture of the
steamer, etc.
About sixteen years ago the sub
stance of letter addressed by Lord
Macaulay to the late Henry S. Ran
dali, predicting the ruinous issue of
the American system of pure De-
mocracy, was published, but in such
way that little attention was given
to it. In this Number are published,
in their entirety, the four letters
written by acarllay to Randall.
The publication of these remarkable
letters at this time is especially
timely, not only as giving the opin-
ions of SO eminent writer, but also
in connection with current discus
sion as to direct popular vote for
President.
Among the short stories are 'Noel
Brewster's Secret" with three illus
trations), a powerful novelette, in
seven chapters, by the late c. Welsh
Mason, author of ''The Rape of the
Camps" Notwithstanding" by Fan
ME Hodgson Burnett and "The
Romance of a Barnyard, by Harriet
Prescott Spofford
Mrs. Helen S. Conant contributes
very suggestive article on Ameri-
can Cookery.

fully cover their respective fields
Among other matters of interest in

Lebanon Star: A correspondent
of the Ohio State Journal suggests,
for Governor, Manning F. Force, of
Cincinnati, "a soldier who won his
stars in battle, learned Judge and
pure and polished gentleman J
a man who made personal sacrifi-

Forces face, which would prevent
him making thorough canvass of

DoNN PIATT's INFAMY.

It would be no news to our read
ers, should we say Dom Piatt was
a man destitute of principle; who
was political mountebank,an com
mon slanderer. But as low as has
been the general estimate of him, here
in his own home, there was no one
who had so poor an opinion of him, as
to conceive that he sould advocate or
Justify murder or assassination. Bnt
it appears that not even his neigh
bors knew his true character-the
depth of infamy he could descend to.
1t is true, they might have known
They might have judged that a man
who had no regard for truth or hon
or; a man who Sian dered his neigh
bors through malice and disappoin-
ted ambition man whom nobody
honored and everybody distrusted !;
was capable of any baseness. But
in spite of his ineffable meanness, he
was treated with q charity that was
undeserved as it was unappreciated
But the true inwardness of the
man has come to the surface. The
heart, whence came lies, and SIAN
ders, and dishonor, has brought forth
legitimate fruit and Dom Piatt
stands before the American people,
an open advocate of assassination,
scorned and despised by all honorable
men.
Assassination is recognized
throughout the pale of civilization as
the resort of lunatics, towards and
thugs. There can be no circumstances
to justify it; there is no heart that can
contemplate it, that is not stepped in
infany and dry-rotted with dishonor.
The highway robber and the violent
murderer are respectable and honor
ed, compared with the assassin. And
the man, who through cowardice
dare not be an assassin, but has a
heart base enough to incite others to
the dastardly deed, is incomparably
more Infamous than the assassin him
self.
This it is, that has called forth
snch general detestation and loath-
; ing of Dom Piatt, by all decent,
honorable men, throughout the ma
ton.
1t was an everlasting shame that a
Wilkes Booth could boast this as
the country of his nativity and the
shame is doubled by this new in
fanny.
But to Logan county, the shame and
confusion is intensified and multiph-
led by the knowledge of the fact that
this is Piatt's home.
1t is to be hoped that laws may be
found to meet his case, and that a
.felon's cell may be his reward for the
Infamous nOtOriety he coyetS.

Lay Of the Dragon.

Some place in Highland lives chap,
His name dare not tell;
But if you'll listen to my tap,
You will know him then quite well.
He has partner too, III say,
Who wears Burnsides near his ear,
And if you once do pass that way,
You will find him no false peer.
Now one of these is apt to keep
A-winking when he meets you;
Bat, go into his house and peep,
His smiling face will greet you.
The same for each l can relate,
Except the wink, so famous;
One lives so near cross-roads, to date,
The other lives near Amos.
One says to t'other, ''Now l say,
AS you have got the wagon,
Wen hitch old Queen beside the gray,
And so to see the DreSon."
'Tis said promise, often made,
Is Just as often broken;
But if they come } ii not upbraid,
And think it was well spoken.
