my, or the prices of stock, grain, etc, fall
unexpectedly. The other man keeps out
OF debt, expects to mako $500 per year
above expenses, and succeeds in reaching
that reasonable amount. In twenty wears
the small farmer who began with 100 acres
of land, steadily gaining 5000 per year,
with its natural increase, will, in ar pro6s,.
bility, own both farms. So then, debt Of
$4,000 to man having a farm WORTH
$4,000 is heavy and dangerous loand.-
What ought this man to do? The answer
Isl Is; AS soon as possible he ought to sell
one-half Of his land, if necessary to sell
that much, and pay his debt. He has no
other safe course to pursue. If he expects
to pay the debt, principal and inter sst, from
.hs annual products Of biz farm be + 1ite3x ei
tainty-the interest on his debt, expenses
of his family and keepisg up his farm; on
the other hand all is uncertainty-in the
quantity and quality of each crop raised, in
the price that its products will bring, and
in the price of all his stock
A merchant may afford similar illustra-
ton. He begins to sell goods with capi-
tai Of $4,000 and continues until he has
$4,000 worth of goods in his house, aud
has debts owing to him from customers to
the amount CT $4,000, and owes for goods
purchased or money borrowed $1,000, bear
ing interest. He is seriously embarrassed.
The more he increases the debt he owes the
greater the danger. At that point he had
better stop and sell goods and collect debts
until he reduces the debts he owes at least
0n1.ae % not O AmSa1 mean that man in business
should never be in debt. The farmer may
prudently add a piece of land to his farm
whenever he is certainly able to pay for it
In year or two, or he may buy young stock
more than he has money on hand to pay
for, or the merchant may need supply Of
goods above his cash resources, which it
would be judicious ia him to buy. The
debt named is one that is large enough to
embarrass man, or continues long enough
to be fixture in the family.

The Mansfield Herald gives a new
contribution to the Anderson litera-
ture which has something of local
interest. In 1864, the Herald says,
Anderson arrived in Wooster, a mem
Der of the ancient and honorable or
der of tramp printers, and got work
in the Wayne County Democrat Of
fee. For a time he boarded with
his uncle, who fondly refers to this
interesting episode in the following
terms: 81 fed him for about three
months until be stole my watch, when
[ drove him Of" Mr.. Anderson al
so succeeded in winning the affec-
tions of a Wooster damsel, who low
ed him well if not wisely, and there
is now in Wooster a gamin with
sandy hair and views as to truth-tell-
ing entirely opposed to those enter
tanned by the Father of his Country.
There are some men who cannot be
held under the "calcium light of
public opinion" to good advantage,
and Mr.. Anderson seems to be of
that class.

present only, this is undoubtedly
true. Had their march been taken
and the power of the authorities pro-
tected them, there would have pro-
badly been an end of the affair for
the present, at least, but feeling that
their rights were restricted, they
now propose a march on the 10th,
INST. and a row is to be expected,
unless the Catholics shall have their
wav. Little has been gained, there
fore. but inglorious succumbing to
Roman intolerance. As we have
said. the city should-if it has the
nower-be master of the situation,
and Orangemen or Catholics or Ma
sons or any civic society, or political
party, if not treasonable-shOuld be
allowed and protected in marching
civilly in procession. Let this he
understood and by example enIorceu'
and the Government will be clothed
with the dignity and respect that be-
longs to it, and the thing is got
along with. A little Government
firmness and steadiness is all that is
needed. This would stand in con-
trast with the course of the Mayor
of Montreal, forbidding the march
on the false ground that the pro-
cession was unlawful. IF a Donny-
brook Fair passtime is requisite once
in while, let the Government fur
nish the programme for the broken
heads.

The Potter committee take a very
comfortable view of the discharge
of patriotic obligations and duty.
The circuit of the fashionable water
ing places, beginning with Cape May
and Atlantic City, for the sittings
of the committee during dog-day
heat and oppressiveness, is a thought
worthy of Democratic congression-
al committee, with Potter and Ben
Butler as the leading spirits, and the
economists who are to gage the ex-
penditure to the sum of public good
to be gained.

Governor Chadwick, of Oregon,
has found it necessary to call for vol
unteers to meet the hostile Indians.
In somewhat excited manner, he
asks for brave men who will make
short work with the "hostiles" who
are reported to be upon the Umatil-
la Reservation. Heretofore the
Umatillas have been peaceable and
friendly, but the Governors dis
patches, as well as reports from 9th
er quarters, indicate that they are
acting with the hostile Indians. In
deed, 1t is said that all of the social
ed friendly Indians living on reserva-
tions are the secret allies of those
who are openly in arms. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that the tribes
who are on reservations would find
the temptation to fight and steal too
much for them, VIXEN an active force
of Indian fighters should come near
enought infect them with their ex-
ample. The predatory instinct is so
strong, even in the ''good" Indian,
that it only needs to be reused by a
few such petty successes as those
which have been secured by the In
dams of Eastern Oregon.

Mr.. Potter's committee Of investi-
CATION has adjourned to meet at At
Iantic City, n. J., and the Congress
sionaI Committee on Army Reor-
ganization will hold It's sessions at
White Sulphur Springs, West Point,
Saratoga, and Niagara, beginning at
the frst-named place, July %. There
is, very naturally, some ill-feeling on
the part of other watering places in
consequence of the favoritism exhib-
tied by these committees. There
is really no good reason why Mr..
Potter, if he affects seaside resorts,
should not take his show to Long
Branch, Coney Island, or even Fire
Island, during the Summer. Allan
tic City has no special claims, that
we are aware of, on the United
States Treasury, that it should be
chosen as the only seaside place
where a Deputy Sergeant-at Arms
shall disburse the liberal appropria-
ton made by the House of Repre-
sentatives. The other committee
has shown more liberality in map
ping out its route; but its disburse-
ments will be confined to Virginia and
New York. If this pleasure excur-
sion had been properly '1ogrolled, F"
the New England States would GER
tainly have been included.

Peace in Europe is assured by the
conclusion of the treaty of Berlin.
Possibly the precariousness of this
settlement is lessened by the fact
that it is reported that Russia and
England have agreed upon bases for
a new alliance between the two pow
ers. Nevertheless, it is true that
this newest disposition of the affairs
of Turkey is environed with many
difficulties and dangers. At present
the world may rejoice that the great
calamity of a general European war,
which once seemed imminent, is no
longer possible. The congress has
disposed of many delicate questions,
It's members have separated with
varying feelings of satisfaction or
disappointment, and, for time, the
sounds of war have ceased.

That brace of resolutions passed
by the Democratic primary meeting
in this place for the election of dele
gates to Columbus, endorsing bo'n
congress and the Ohio legislature
were pretty good, considering the

We are not advised who made up

GRANT.-Public sentiment seems
to be crystalizing in the Grant di-
rection. It would be a somewhat
singular state of things, if after all
that has been said in abuse of Grant,
and ali the wholesale lying about his
plotting for the third term, that
now, while out of the country, and
thinking only of his present enjoy
ments, the people should spontane-
ously turn to him and again demand
his nomination and election, and
thus thrust a third term upon him,
whether or no. Grant is a patriot,
clear in his conceptions of the pub
lie good, and independent and fear
less in the discharge of duty. He
would be the hope of the good and
the fear of the venal and corrupt.

BATTLE AT UMATILLA.-A Walla-
Walla dispatch via. San Francisco
Of the 18th inst. gives the following
account of the fight at Umatilla Res
ervation. News of the hostiles
reached Col. Miles at Pendleton.
He at once started with 800 regulars
for the scene of action. A march
of some six miles, brought them
within short distance of Cayuse
Station, where he encountered a body
of from 400 to 500 warriors, about
o'clock a. m. Placing his men in
position, Col Miles opened fire on
the hostiles, who returned it, with
out effect, neither side sustained any
injury. This method of procedure
was continued until noon, when the
Indians attempted to charge Col.
Miles lines, but were beaten off, be-
ing unable to stand fire from the
howitzer In the charge the Indians
sustained considerable loss, those
present estimated their dead at Is.
Col. Miles casualties consist of two
wounded, one In the arm and one in
the leg. Shortly after 1 o'clock the
Indians fell back toward the noun
tains. The number and extent of
the Indian outbreaks in the North
west, and the totally inadequate
force of United States troops at hand
to repress them, furnish a striking
commentary on the absurd and mis-
chievous policy pursued by the Dem
ocrats in regard to the Army.
When force of 400 to 500 Umatil-
las are bold enough to charge upon
800 regulars, and when all that the
officers in command can do is to keep
the Indians in check, it is clear that
our ideas of the respective value of
regular and Indian combatants needs
even more extensive modification
than that which recent history has
compelled us to make.
