The following card from Senator lngalls,
which explains itself, appears in yesterday
mornings Champion
ATCIIISoS, October 30.
NV attention has been recently called To
the assertion in certain newspapers that my
visit 10 Washington in September was Tor the
purpose of having John A Martin appointed
Postmaster al Atchison. The statement from
whatever,source II. .eminates, or with whatev-
er motive is repeated, is absolutely and who'll
ly without foundation
The appointment of Col. Martin to the
post-office or any other federal position, has
never been suggested 10 me by him, nor by
any person for him nor by me TO him, nor to
any of his friends, directly nor indirectly nj
any time or place. Nor has there ever been
an understanding, express or implied, upon
the subject, conditioned upon the support oil
the Champion or otherwise.

NEW YORK.

The Albany Journal says the prospects oil
the Republican party in New York are al
that the most ardent Republican and Patri-
of could desire. The Republicans are UNI
ted and active; they have made strong
nominations throughout the State, and the
Democrats are demoralized. The condi-
tious cause the feeling to prevail that the
Republicans will carry the State ticket,
secure Republican Assembly, and make a
gain in Copyressmen.

the embodiment of mental as well a. bodi-

looked forward to the end from the begin

the brunt of contest. He has seemed mer-

Six Million FARMERs.-By tho
last census there were nearly 3,000,.
900 of planters and farmers who own.
ell their lands. There were about an
equal number of men who rented lands
or worked as farm hands. In the South
these were mostly freedmen, but in
the North farmers sons The number
of land renters in the North is small
as compared with the number of land
owners. The whole number of men
who work land for living, including

ces, except by due process of law, Ia
open letters or sealed packages in the
mails, has again been answered in the
negative by the Supreme Court of the
United States. "Sealei mailed mat.

guarded from examination and in.
spection, except as to their outward
form and weight, as if they were re-
tanned by the parties forwarding them
in their own domiciles. The constitu.
tiOnal guarantee of the right to secure

If the leg of a crab be fractured, il
throws off the injured limb near the
body. And it has the power of doing
so apparently for two purposes, to save
the excessive flow of blood which always
takes place at the first wound, and to
lay bare the organ which is to repro
duce the future limb; as soon as the
injured limb has been thrown of. tn,
bleeding stops; but ifthe animal is un
able, from weakness or any othel
cause, to effect this, the result is fatal
The growth of the new limb is slow
until after the period of the next
moult, when it rapidly assumes ii
full proportions.
