The election for township officers
will take place on the first Monday
in April. We hope the Republicans
Of every township will organize and
put in nomination ticket composed
Of honest, reliable, competent men,
and then go to the polls and vote for
them regardless Of their chances for
Office. There has never been a time
when the country was in greater
need of the Republican party than
to-day, and no where are good men
needed more than to fill the various
township officers. Pecuniarily most
OF 'Is are far more interested in the
men we have for Trustee, Assessor,
etc., than we are in the man who fills
the office of President of the United
States. If we expect to make times
better through the ballot box, we
must commence with town officers.

During the discussion OF the Mexi-
can war pension bill in the House Of
Representatives. Mr.. Singleton, Of
Mississippi, had read from the
clerks desk, letter from his "dis-
tinguished constituent" jefferson
Davis, in which the arch rebel says,
shat although a wounded soldier Of
the Mexican war, and entitled to o
pension from the United States gov
eminent, he would be willing that a
clause should be inserted, forever
barring him from receiving the
benefits Of the bill, rather than that
the bill should not be adopted.
We have been many times sur
prised at the cheek displayed by
Southern traitors, but when JEFF
Davis comes forward and asserts his
right to pension for services rem
dered the United States, the climax
ia canned.

The New Orleans Democrat, adj
mits that the Democratic Legisla-
ture OF Louisiana has failed to carry
out its pledges of reform, and says
that the regular session just closed
was a record of failures and humilia-
tons. Yet the Democrat tries to
hold the Republicans responsible for
this, although they were in a minori-
ty; for the reason, as it intimates
that the Republicans under the lea
dership of Yarmouth, possessed
more brains than the Democratic
majority. Queer fellows those

gers are too ignorant to vote, and

for Democratic rascality on the
ground that they possess superior
intelligence.

Mr.. Bland, Democratic Congress
man from Missouri, has published a
letter nominating Benjamin f. But
Ter for the presidency In 1880. The
National party, organized at Toledo,
a short time since. recognize Mr.. But
Ter as their political god, and even
ate up their own words when Benja-
min telegraphed from Washington
that the silver bill was @delusion
and a sham" The Indiana Democ-
racy seem in fair way to accept
Butler as their leader; and we sup
pose that If he should be chosen to
lead the Democratic hosts in 1880,

speakers will call him ex-Beast But

A few days ago majority Of the
Senate Finance Committee, CON-
posed OF Allison, Ferry, Wallace,
Voorhees, and Jones, were in favor OF
the bill passed by the House at the
extra session repeating the resump-
ton act, but it is not probable that
they will report in favor Of it. With
the date Of resumption so near at
hand, and gold so low a premium,
resumption may be regarded as a
fixed fact, with or without legisla-
ton.

Prof. Tice's snow storm kindly

Cheyenne the roads are blocked, and
on the Platte river in western Ne
braska, heavy loss Of cattle is re-
ported from the deep snow and Sc

storm was very great. Scientists

able to predict snow storms with

The famine in the northern prov
inces OF China rivals in severity that
which is passing away in India. Not
less than seventy millions Of people
are affected, and cannibalism prevails
to horrible extent. The severity Of
this Chinese famine is intensified by
the cold weather. Charles Budd, Of
the China Inland Mission, at Wa
chung, says that the efforts Of the
government to relieve the stricken
district Of Shensi are nullified by the
dishonesty Of the officials. The pop
ulation is so dense in all China and
India, that a shrinkage Of the food
supply, which would not be noticed
in this country, is most disastrous
there.-Chicago Interior. ~

The fall elections this year will
come very near settling the great
contest OF 1880. The Democracy will
have control Of the Senate after the
4th Of March next, and If they retain
control Of the House they will have
every advantage in preparing for the
presidential contest. It is Of the ut
most importance, therefore, that the
Republicans in every Northern State
should make a united and deter
mined effort to rescue the house
from democratic control This can
be done by a thorough organization
and wise management, but it is not a
year for taking any chances.
