western Cattle Trade.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Few people ia the East have any idea
of the magnitude to which stock raising
has grown in the West, and they will
probably be somewhat astonished to
learn that the returns for the present
season give California csc, 900 head.
Colorado $50, 900, Utah $50, 900, Mon-
tana 100000, Wyoming 225 ,0Uo,
Washington 200, 600, and Oregon l75,
600 total of 2,4Jo ,00G head. Tex
as is estimated to have twice as many
more, making grand total of between
seven and eight millions beeVes now
fattening or aboat to be fattened For the
eastern markets. Within the last few
years great change has taken place
in the cattle trade, sud although, as
shown above, Texas now holds the lead
it IS likely that Q: no distant day

will be the great centress of breeding.
The cattle drives from Texas thitheT
this season will reach, it is thought, a
total of 250, 600 head, and even far of

the 18th of July, 1871, were letters
patent granted under the act to- in
corporate the Milford and Matamofas
Railroad Company, but no reference
whatever is made therein to the sup
plement which proposes to give this
nice little annuity of ten thousand
dollars to the company for the term
of ninety-nine years
After quoting the language of Gov
ernor Gearys messages recommend
ing the repeal, the Senator had read
an article from Harrisburg cores
pondent to the Philadelphia Inquirer
of March Is, giving a complete expose
of the matter, and concluded as fol
lows:
"The supplement is also in con-
fiict with that portion of the fifth sec
ton of the eleventh article of the
constitution, which provides That
the credit of the commonwealth shall
not in any manner or event be loaned
to any individual, company, corpora
ton or association Yet in this act
the credit of the commonwealth to
the extent of ten thousand dollars
annually, for the period Of ninety
nine years, is loaned or given to this
proposed Milford and Matamoras
Railroad Company, a corporation ere
ated by the Legislature of the State.
Snow, the only allegation that /
have heard against the repeal of this
odious section, was with reference to
vested rights. To that I have only
to answer in few words. If this
Milford and Matamoras Railroad Com
pany have any vested rights to this
annuity, it receives them either by
the letters patent or the supplement
to its charter. But it cannot get such
rights from the letters patent, for no
reference whatever is made therein to
the provisions of the supplement, and
it cannot get them from the latter,
for that is in conflict with the consti-
tuition, and therefore void But even
if it should be constitutional its pas
sage and approval was secured by
trickery and misrepresentation, and it
is therefore not entitled to that con-
sideration due to honest and proper
Legislation"
Yet upon call OF the yeas and nays,
with a full understanding of all the
facts, MIR. Dill voted against the re-
peal.
When Mr.. Dill next appears before
the foothghts in the character of a
refOrmer, let him explain this vote,
and then we will call his attention to
other like indiscretiors.

AwAR between England and Afghan
i.tan Is about to take place. Afghan
istan is country in Asia. The cause
of the trouble is, that the government
of Afgbanistan refused to accord to
English government representatives,
privileges that are extended to repre-
sentatives of tie Russian government.
As the question low stands 1t looks as
if England and Russia will be broug ght
to blows BY the partiality of Afghanis-
tan. European dispatches report Eng
lish troops as already on the march for
the country that so grievously Insulted
Albion by refusing to receive her envoy,
or representative. This is the second
time that England directly crosses the
path of Russia. If Russia we're half
so ready to resent an insult as is Eng
land, almost bloody war could not be
avoided.

The greatest eel-pond in America is
on the farm of James " Wells, in the
town of Riverhead. 1t covers Eve
acres, and is now So full of eels that
they can be raked out with a garden

1000 dozens of eels into the pond, in
tending to have them undisturbed for

A Remarkable Dream.

The Edenburg tClarion county Her.
aid tells the following story: For sew
eral years past q notion Peddlsr named
Goodman, has made periodical visits 70
this county, and during that time has
staid over night several times at the
house of John Logue in Perry township.
In fact bis visits have become so fre-
quent of late that Mr.. Logue looked
on him as an old friend. One night
last week the same Individual came
round and took lodging as usual. Next
morning be related q singular dream
which be had during the night, to the
effect that be had found hidden treas
ure in tree which stood on MIR Logue's
farm. The peddler staid in the neigh
borhood for two or three days, aud
made his headquarters at Mr.. Logue's
house. For three successive nights he
claimed to have dreamed the identical
dreams and on the morning Of the third
prevailed on Mr.. Logue to accompany
him to the spot. Ia derse wood the
peddler pointed out large oak tree
as the one be saw in his vision. 1t
was apparently sound at the butt, but
about twenty feet u2, limb had been
broken of. Mr.. Logue did not feel
like humoring whst he supposed to be
superstitious whim, but the old fellow
seemed to have 60 much confidence in
his vision that he offered Mr.. Logue
one half of of the spolls if he would
help him cut down tie tree.
He did so. When the tree fell there
was a rattle of coins near where the
limb had been broken off, and small
hollow was found there. BY little
chopping larger cavity was found, and
ensconsed therein was "loads o! sill
ver." Both seemed to be wild with
delight, and on counting up found the
pile amounted to $4,000 The peddler
expressed his unwillingness to carry
around so much silver 10 his pocket,
and inquired where he would be likely
to get greenbacks for his share. MIR.
Logue, having considerable money in
his house, Immediately transferred to
the peddler 81, 500 in paper money and
took charge of the entire bulk of silver.
The peddler went off and has not since
been hearG from. On endeavoring to
pass some of the silver it was found to
be counterfeit of the poorest kind. Mr..
Logue is $4,000 out, and the story
ends. 1t was a job of a gangof coun-
terfeiters which probably inhabit this
county

THE Democratic programme is not a
difficult one to foreshaaow, as the lead
ers have already forestadowed it in
Congress. 1t is to pass free trade
act, abolish the National banks, repeal
the National tax Oh State bank circula
ton, issue as many greenbacks as may
be needed TO pay off the war debt,
which would SO initiate the currency
that dreadful depreciation as a nat
ursl consequence would follow, and then
the fresh new, wild cat State bank issue
would come in as a preferred money
and complete the Reputation Of the
national currency. Give the Democracy
and the Greenbachers power, and that
is what the result will be +; and when
that has been accomplished the coun-
try will be astoupded as to how near
the old order of things they have
drifted.
Awake Arise, Republicans, every
man, and go 70 work. The next Con-
gress and the next Legislature must be
ours, or the country must pass the ex-
perience of policy that will humlliate
beyond all Imagination.

The Greenbacker says the currency
that this country needs is paper cur
rency no other kind is needed that
gold and silver currency is humbug
In this particular case the Greenbacker
argues from the point that paper money
is all that this country needs. He
might be quite right if our intercourse
were confined to ourselves, but such is
not the case We send and receive
from other nations, products of all
kinds; We travel to and from all ma
tioDs; engage in all kinds of commerce
that the world engages in, and Of course
must have the worlds money for all
such intercourse.
There is only one condition of soci-
ETY. that will permit of an irredeemable
paper currency, and that is the one that
will shut itself out from j the world
stsv away from every body, and keep
every body away. We, as a nation,
would have to get closer than the Chi
nese IN point of exclusiveness.

POLITICAL NOTES.
FROM EXCHANGES.


From the Atchison (Kansas) Champion.
We are infexibly opposed to the
new tangled, "fat" greenback. 1t is
bastard greenback. 1t is a fraud
and cheat. 1t bears not the slightest
resemblance to the greenback we have
now in circulation. The old fashioned
greenback, the child Of the Republican
party, is an honest greenback. 1t is
the pfomisory note of the Republic, and
the faith and honor of the nation it
pledged to its redemption in the money
of the civilized world 1t is now as
good as gold. We are opposed to de-
grading it. We are opposed to substi-
tuting for it bastard ''fat" scrip, ire
deemable, and issued by billions to de-
stroy our commerce, paralyze our in
industries, inaugurate period of wild
speculation, initiate values, disbonor
our good name, and wreck the happi-
ness and prosperity of the people.

as the ticket is good for the milk it
suits him just as we'll. When he wants
to 60 to Chicago he buys a ticket, sits

"Tbe wit of man has never discovered
a means by which paper currency can
be kept at par value except by its
steady, certain convertabillty into
gold and silver" These words bowev-

As early as 1868 the Democratic
State Convention Of this State set up q
demand for a resumption of specie pay
ment. Mr.. Speer, when in Congress,
voted for specie payment; now be is
for an everlasting anti-resumption pol
icy, and Mr.. Dill is for an indefinite
postponement of resumption of specie
payment. The record of the Repubh-
can party presents no such ,ceather-oock
record. 1t has, time and again, as often
as the public became alarmed at the
clsmor for irredeemable money, pu:
itself on the record for honest money.

the greenback rag money declared 1t

Wallace is SO far from his old coin basis,

Treasury must get its coin to pay the

him the faIrer of all the three, for you
