splendid Decora1ioD.

Mr.. Green, conductor on the c. & NJ.
v. Railroad, had the most elaborate and
beautifully decorated engine and train,
on the 4th, we have ever seen. AS the
train approached the depot here all eyes
were directed to the gorgeous display of
flags, flowers and bunting, entwined and
intertwined all over the engine in such
profusion as to almost completely obscure
the engine. It was most beautiful, and
evinced a commendable spirit of patriot
ism on the part Of the conductor and en-
gineer.

How to Cure COnsumptIOI

The great number of deaths from this
destroyer of the human race, and its rapid
increase, call with trumpet voice for the
genius of some one to devise means for the
dethronement of its power. The cure
has been discovered and is saving thous-
ands. Genius has invented a detector;
nature has furnished the remedy. Avail
yourself of it before it is too late A slight
cold, if neglected, often terminates in con-
sumption, To guard against this sure
and fatal destroyer use the only known
antidote, COussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Price only fifty cents a bottle. For
sale by F. A. Murray, Druggist.

EDS. HERALD:
While the Pottery grindeth, conventions
nominate candidates, adopt platforms and
politicians endorse the platforms and
resolutions of their own parties, Congress
adjeurns, Mrs. jerks returns to New Or
leans, and newspapers discuss the finances
of the country, we grangers haYe just
harvested the largest crop of wheat Fay
ette county ever produced. The Asses
sor,s returns of last year show the wheat
product to be $50, 900 bushel. This year
look out for 225, 900 bushels, Allow 75,-
900 bushels for home consumption and
10000 bushels for sale, at 75c. per bu.,
distributes $112, 800 to the producers of
this one article. In addition to the pros
poets for an abundant crop from large
acreage of corn is as fine as could be asked
for. Garden-truck, small fruits, berries
and potatoes were never better. Plenty
of pigs and no cholera. Everybody in
fine spirits, exceptVthe doctors-there be-
ing no sickness. The harvest hand gets
81 .25 per day, with which he can buy
more provisions and clothing for his fam
lily than he ever could for a days work in
his life before.
The worst drawback to us now is the
want of a railroad TO get the produce
with which the earth is burdened to
market, and this, if eternal vigilance is
the price of railroad, we will at some
time have. We are getting jealous of JEFF
fersonviIle and Jasper fgrist-mills, new
grocery, warehouse, elevator, corn-shel-
| Ter, two whisky-shops, and a fair prospect
for another" Very good, gentlemen, go
ahead, we are coming.
And now, if the ''Incorporated Village
of Washington wishes to put on city
airs, why don't your Town Dads post the
names of your streets, so that somebody
can understand you when you talk about
Main street, Temple street, and all sorts
of avenues.
| Some of our Rats were off 4th of July
! ing, but we grangers spent the day in the
harvest-feld.
By the way, what street is the Grange
store on in your village?

The d. & 5. e. narrow Gauge.


The Chillicothe Gazette, July Sd, speaks
its mind in regard to President Mead and
his management of the D. & S. E. Ry., in
the following strong terms:
''The present management of the road
is either hopelessly incompetent to finish
the road, or else il is organized to ''wreck''
it. Some eighteen months ago Col. Mead
came over from Dayton to tell the Ross
county stockholders that he had been put
at the head of affairs to give financial
strength to the road and insure its early
completion. From that day to this mat
ters have gone from bad to worse, until
now it looks as if the thing was on its last
legs. The committee failed to resurrect
the enterprise. Indeed, we do not see
how they could be expected to do any
thing, and think it was only organized to
lift the odium of failure from the should
ers where it properly belongs. Of. late
some of the Dayton stockholders have be-
come restfve under the prospect of losing
their money and the road at the same
time, and have suggested that the stock
holders here ask Col. Mead to resign. The
call should come from the other end of
the line, and when it comes let it be for
the whole Board of Directors They NAV
be good enough men, but they have de-
monstrated their utter incapacity to build
a railroad, or even to move one single
shoVelfuH of dirt in the past six months"

Some of our exchanges are discus
sing the power Of the citizen TO suc
the State, with reference 10 the cOu-
pom part of the late proposal Of the
creditors TO compromise. The query
has been proposed quite generally
enough TO demand an answer. "If
the coupons of the Tennessee bonds
were receivable for taxes, would
not the Federal courts have the
power 10 make the people payY'
The query would suggest very
grave question, II the answer were
not so easy. II there were even
danger OF such an exercise OF Fcder1
al judicial power-if Il were even
an open question, nothing could
compensate the State for incurring|
such a danger. The NJ. amend-
ment to the constitution, passed ad
the instance of the State Of GeOrgiaI \
Is conclusive. Georgia refused toI
submit 10 such Jurisdiction, and
rightly insisted that a soverignI
State could not be be sued. To se1
all doubts at rest, this amendment
was passed
"T'he judicial power Of the United
States shall not be construed TO eX \
tend to any suit i'm law or equity
commenced or prosecuted against
one of the United States by citizen-I
of another State, or by citizens O1I
subjects Of any foreign State"
The answer Is conclusive and
complete.
