A Failure of the LeEisla turc.
[Colfax Chronicles


We consider the action of the Legislature
in the State Lottery matter a compromise
with fraud, and altogether unworthy of a
body of honorable men. Gentlemen tell us
of the service Howard rendered in the buying
up OF the Packard Legislature! For shame
1t is, they tell the truth! Our government
cost Mr.. Howard 100000 He invested the
money just as any other gambler puts his
money at stake, hoSing it would win. And it
did win. Now the price of our liberty Is
Haunted In our faces, and our generosity is
appealed to in order to perpetuate thieving
Institution. No wonder wall of disappoint-
ment Is heard in every hamlet and town of
establishment of virtue in our commonwealth.
Tweed,s private secretary says Tweed was
not worth S250O at the time of his death and
had nothing to make will for His wife has
enough to maintain her, as also have two of
his older sons. For the two boys who are at
school no provision is made. The married
daughters received $4,000 as wedding
presents.

grown in the climate where it is in
tended for them to remain. Hun
dreds of thousands of trees brought
to this state from New York, Ohio,

was not until Minnesota men began
at the foundation and raised their
trees from the seed and graft up that
success began to crown the efforts of
the Minnesota fruit grower. o. F.

one Of the first men to embark in the
enterprise, and to-day large bearing

United States, and VIGOROUSLY, in that
as in other Of the old slayeholding
States, lists of the slaves emancipatai
have been prepared, and the claims
covering their value only await for
their payment the harvest of whole
sale plunder when the Democracy
Eshall pass into power,
Bat in Missouri the climax of ra-
pacity in proposed plunder has been
reached. 1t is, however, only pre-.
liminary-onlJ precedent-for fur
Their Wholesale or general spoliation.
In Missouri, State commission has
investigated and official certificates
have been awarded to all claimants for
compensation for losses incurred or
supplies taken by the rebel forces
which overran its territory, AID these
certificates, as the claims for indem-
pity for slaves, only await the success
.of the Democracy to be promptly hon
ored by the Governm' Mt,
Indeed, as precedents for their pay
ment, two bills, in the Forty fourth
Congress, were introduced by Messrs.
Knott of Kentucky, and House, of
Tennessee, appropriating small
amounts for property and supplies
seized by the rebel forces, and if they
are passed or recognized BY Congress,
and should the nation be again inhict-
ed with a Democratic Administration,
Missouri and every State South will
realize the prodigious amounts these
claims will involve.
What amount these Missouri claims
have reached we do not know, but the
known aggregate so far of rebel claims
actually presented or demanded is
really appalling! Already it equals

Rebel Claims.

AGGREGATE. $4,000, 100000.
In letter as late as October 81,
1873, but published. we believe, in
1876, r. NJ. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
an United States Senator from that
State prior to the rebellion, and now.
as then, great man in the Confeder-
acy, Celebrates plan by which the
old Shareholder may evade the prohib-
itory clause Of the fourteenth amend
ment respecting indemnity for saves
liberated by the war. Hunters sa-
gaclty is only equalled by his loyalty.
The 18th amendment abolishes an Gin
stitution' Of the Confederacv. It
ezpels the last vestige Of slavery from
its soil and prohibits all compensation
for slaves freed by the war. But the
,Nstute Hunter discovers that the pro-
hibitory clause is unconstitutional,
and therefore nugatory. The slaves
were private property; their forcible
emancipation was in the nature of
Selling that property for public use
without compensation; that the claim
is in the individual owner; that the
States in the ratification of the four
teenth amendment, had no power or
right to divert it, and that consequent
lythe owners Of that property under
the Constitution have valid or bona
.fde claims for reasonable compensation
to wit: 100000, 600.
But discovery 30 sagacious was
not original with the astute Hunter
As early as 1867, in the MARYLAND
constitutional convention, he was an
ticipated by the equally sapient con-
ventionists. They formally asserted
the claim under the constitution.
They authorized the Legislature of
Maryland to receive and dispose of
the amounts due to their old slave
hol ne citizens when I'D by the

has truly no parallel in the history
of civilized nations. It is the culmi-

ton and its laws, and the usages and
laws of civilized man! Conquered
and thwarted in the field, in their de-
sign to overthrow and destroy the ma
ton, and to wipe out freedom and
free institutions by the establishment
of an oligarchy with ''slavery as It's

encouraged by the support and APP

allies-all equally haters of ,edom

Association. The cooperation and
active interest of all good and true
citizens Of Wood Co. is earnestly
asked and expected in the effort to
make the Agricultural and Mechanical
Association a lasting benefit to her
citizer8.
Pre-eminent amo ne the means to
subserre this desirable end will be the
Annual Fair to be held in this city
from the 24th to 9th of Sept. next.
Hence we invite all fellow. citizens
to take an active interest with US in
this annual gathering, by subscribing
literally to the stock, by preparing to
make the best exhibition of horses,
sheep, cattle, swine, and. in fine, all
farm and manufactured products that
is possible to be made.
1t requires money to prepare the fair
grounds, publish and advertise the
premium list, print posters. pay pre-
miums, and thousand other things
too numerous to mention. And the
more money that is paid into the treas
ury the greater will be the premiums.
Farmers and mechanics you are the
parties who should come to the front
in this work.
It will benefit you more than all
other interests. Nearly if not one
third of all the real and personal
propert~ of the county is invested in
farms, and farming and mechanical
implements and live stock; and yet
gentlemen how many of you are there
who have come to the front and are
to-day giving this thing your lively
cooperation.
We ueed at this the infancy of the
Association, earnest, honest, practical,
clear-headed, thorough-going farmers
to help nurse and foster its youthful
interests and send beams Of sunshine
and success into its very being. How
many Of you will give US a lift?
Many good souls have taken hold
Of the work from the first with a will
and commendable zeal.
But there are many more in the
back ground whom we should like to
see interested in this enterprise who
have net yet become members. We
want you as judges, as committee men,
as superintendents. etc. As it is now
we lose your councils and influence in
planning the work for each year.
There are q fe,0 and Fortunately
ou7y few selfish souls who never give
their influence nor support to any
thing which does not pay money di-
rectly to their pockets; we do not ex-
pect anything from any such cold, sell
fish, whining simpering specimens Of
greed and avarice, except rumblings
and grambIngs and discomfort. They
have never helped this nor any other
good cause, nor never will.
But it is to the true and tried that
we look for cooperation. It is to
them we are indebted for the good
work SO we'll begun. It was that
class Of persons who did so much last
year to make the Far a success, and
who will continue doing.
Prominent among this class are the
ladies, God bless them, who did their
whole work, and did it we'll, and whose
zeal and interest are worthy Of emu
iation.
Let all give 'long pull, a strong
pull and pull all together and we
shall have Il rich treat seldom enjoyed.
President of the Association.

GENERAL SHERMAN condemns the

that it will most certainly result in an
increase Of expenditures. while it
will materially cripple the service.

quietly SHERMAN has given away one
of his horses, because he has no forage
to keep it, and has killed the other.
which had become little lame. The
enforced change in the headquarters
of Division Commanders, he thinks
will be very lnconvenient, and will re-
suit in an increased expense. General

Discussing the bill at great length and
in detail with an interviewer, General
Sherman found something in almost
every paragraph which received his
vigorous denunciation.
