est privilege, because it involved the
question Of the validity Of Hayes IL
tie. Here are his words:
"a higher privilege than the one
herein involved, and broadly and d.
rectly presented, as to the rightful oc-
cupancy of the chief executive chair
of the government, and the connec-
ton of high government officials with
the frauds alleged, the chair is unable
to conceive. The chair finds cnnmer-
sted among the questions of privilege
set in the manual, the following
Election Of President. The chair
therefore rules that the preamble and
resolution embrace questions of priv
ilege of the highest character, and rec
ognizes the right Of the gentlemen
from New York to offer the same"
Upon this the Republicans COM
menced the struggle against the revo-
lutionary scheme, which, after five
days duration, terminated in the sue
cess of the censpirators. The Repn5-
licans offered to favor the fullest in
vestigation into all alleged frauds by
which even that party was charged
with having committed; but the De-
mocracy pursued its course shameless
| ly and rclentlessly, and shifted all in
quiry into attempts at bribery in Orc
gon, South Carolina and Louisiana,
and murder aud violence 10 several
other States Neither amendment or
debate was allowed. The inexGrable
previous question was applied and en-
forced.
| His scheme, II pursued, and it snow
| fully inaugurated, can only have the
effect of further paralyzing business
of ali kinds, preventing the restosa-
ton of confidence, which seemed
pending, casting a gloom over every
household, and bringing our nation
into reproach before the civilized
world. Peace of the country is tho
| first consideration to patriots. This
new effort of the Democracy 10 inau
gurate anarchy and Mexicanise the
government by throwing doubts upon
the legitimacy of the title of the Pres
ident, is in keeping with the records
of that party, one wing Of which re-
belled against the government, while
the other wing gave aid and comfort.
We call therefore upon all who OPP
pcsad the rebellion of 1861, without
distinction of party, to rally again to
the support of law, order and stable
government, and to ovcrwhelm with
defeat the reckless agitators who, to
gain political power would add TO the
present dstresses Of the country by
shaking the foundations of the gov
eminent they failed in a four years
war to destroy.
By unanimous order OF the commit
tee.

country in numerous places. Most
farmers are busily engaged in cultiva-
ting corn, or are beginning to make
preparations for tie disappearing
harvest. Some Of the wheat Is affect
ed by rust, but the greater part is free
from it and promises to yield album
dainty. On last Saturday night we
were visited by gentle rain: it was
hailed with gladness as grateful re-
freshment for the crops.
The country is being constantly and
rapidly inprovcd-new farms are
opened. new houses built, large tracts
of prairie broken, and strong efforts
put forth to increase the sizes and mum :
Der of wheat fields.
For sometime this spring the coun-
try was infested by horse-thievcs, and
several horses and mules were stolen.
To guard against any further depre.
dations of this kind, and other rob-
berries in general, and to facilitate the
recovery Of stolen property, the farm
ers of this vicinity have formed an or
ganization known as :.The Richland
Detective Association This organi-
cation is now prepared for successful
operations, and should another rob-
berry occur it would be impossible for
the thief to escape.
A well-a;tended and regulated sun
day school is held at the Fairplay
school house. On last Sabbath the
superintendent very strongly recon-
mended the scholars of each class to
select one of their number to perform
the duties of the teacher in case their
teacher should be absent. One of the
exercises each Sunday is the recitation
of bible versa by each member. The
teacher of class of small boys being
absent, one of the class was told TO re-
peat two verses--one for himself the
other for his teacher. The little fell
low promptly arose and quoted: "Ev-
cry man shall bear his own burden"
The superintendent mole faint smile.

Cause Of the Great Hill Disaster.

In the coroner's inquest on the vic
tins OF the mill explosion at Mime
apolis, Professors Peckham aud Peck,
of the State University, submitted
voluminops reports of Investigations
and practical periments made to de-
monstrstc The fact that tie explosion
was caused by the ignition of the mill
dust floating in the air, probably from
sparks generated by the friction of the
stones aud the consequent formation
of explosive gas. The report of Prof.
Peck contains a long list of recon-
mendasions as TO the prevention Of
similar disasters in mills.
