A farmer in Bangor, Me-, noticing
that wheat was being picked from the
heads Of standing grain, and finding
flocks oteellow birds flying about, shot
some of them. On opening their crops
he found only three grains of wheat and,
by actual account $50 weevils. 1t is bet
tor that farmers know whether they kill
friends or foes.

The distress in Hungary on account
Of the bad harvest is very great. Gov
eminent has suspended the collection of
taxes until the next harvest has been
gathered. In tifty-seven towns and vii
lagos in Temes district the greatest dis.

cases Of starvation have occurred, forty
parishes are threatened with famine.
Frightful accounts have also been re-.
ceived from the districts of Abanj, Heyes
and Zumplin.

The Italian papers report q case Of
blgamy just tried before the Law Court
ut Salerno, which is another OF those in
stances seeming to show that the institu-
ton of trial by jury is not suited for all
human beings alike. The offended ad-
mitted the two marriages, which were
otherwise proved, and the Judge summed
up for verdict Of equity but the Jury
decided IN the negative. The Judge, dis
missing the prisoner, said: "signor
MUSTANG, you assert that you have mar
ried twice, but the gentlemen of tho jury
declare that you have married neither
once nor twice, consequently set you at
liberty, and you may now marry third
time"

succeeded in saving bis stock and carri-

Before the fire struck the Egle hotel,
Is before narrated, the large elevator
across tho roadway from the Niskcrn no.

burned. Some $4,000 or 10000 bushels
of wheat wcrs stored in the building
which belonged to the Chicago and Mil
waukce Railroad company, and was at
the time operated by the well-known
firm Of Pratt and Robinson. The total
loss on building, grain aud machinery
will, it is reported, aggregate over $780,

covered by insurance.
Among the owners Of the grain stored
in the elevator, are Archibald AMI Shur-

sustain loss of $32, 900, which, however,
is insured to about $4,000. The dcstruc

From the commencement of the fire

ing itself in different parts of the
county in regard to the August elect
ion, and as TO who is TO be our next
County Superintendent Of Free
Schools, The gentlemen most prom.
inentlyspoken of from a Democratic
stand point, is Professor Kenny Of
this town, and Reed B. Yeagor, Esq,
Of Graham District. AT this time
we do not propose to advance the
claims Of either Of the gentlemen
spoken Of. But we will add that
this is an election and an Office in
which all the people are interested,
and it is their bounden duty TO see
that good man is elected to preside
over and have the care of our free
schools. Much of the efficiency Of
the schools depends upon who the
County Superintendent is. For the
past two years the people ofthc coun
ty have had u most excellent Super.
intendent Of schools in the person oil
G. L. Hogg, Esq, and if one is elect,
ed in August equally as capable and
efficient, as the outgoing officer, the
people will be satisfied. So far as
we are concerned, personally, we
would like to see this election re.
movedfrom politics, altogether. But
should the Democrats decide to nom.
mate candidate to fill this office,
the nominee, who ever he may be,
will receive our hearty and undivid
ed support.

The Extra Session.

There is to be desperate struggle
in the extra session Of Congress, says
the Maine Standard, over the question
of repeating all existing provisions
Of law for the suspension collections
in the several States by United States
officers, and it will be very certain tc
create intense interest and excite.
ment among the people ofall sections
of the country.
The necessity for this extra session
was occasioned by the refusal of the
Republican Senate to pass certain ap,
preparation bills, because the Demo.
cratic House had engrafted upon
them provisions repeating this Oh.
noxlous system of Federal supervis.
ion OF elections and prohibiting the
use Of Federal soldiers at elections
AS the Senate is now Democratic,
there can be no doubt about the pas,
sage Of the appropriation bills with
these provisions attached, but it is
already proclaimed that Hayes will
veto them in order TO preserve this
Republican system of bull. doing
electors by the use Of supervisors,
marshafs, deputy-marshals, andarm.
ed soldiers, and thereby either com.
pei the House and Senate to back
down or leave the army and the iu-
dlclal department ofthe government
without means of support The Re,
publican idea is that if the House
and Senate back down then they can
control the next Presidential election
by swarming the State with Federal
boll-dozers, while on the other hand
II the army has to be disbanded and
the judicial department comes to a
stand'stilI for want appropriations,
they can make political capital by
raising an UNIVERSAL owlfrom Maine
10 Texas about stopping the wheels
ut government, leaving the frontiers
undefendcd and the country at large
without machinery administering
the laws.
The laws which the Republicans
are determined to retain even at the
expense of blocking the wheels of the
government, areoppressive, partizan
and odious, to every truly patriotic
mind They provide for theappoint-
ment ola class of officers, styled Su.
pcrvisorf, by the Federal Circuit
Judges, whenever requested by any
two citizens. Under them is anoth.

APlain Duty.

Gladstone has well said that "it is
"a common and profitable trick Of par
ty to assume the mask of nationality.
Ii is safely calculated that such an
assumptions successfully achieved,

ponents; since it is not only u just

derstand this trick than the Repub.

hence in The midst Of a political rev.

to their very foundations, its leaders
had sufficient foresight or lack to see
the coming storm Of patriotism affair
off and trim its sails accordingly
When the time demanded that pa.
triolism shpnld assert itself, it took
advantage of the fact, and ever since
then its object has been to make the
impression that its success is neces-

In the next campaign it will seek
to impress this idea more forcibly

Every trick and device known to
corrupt political managers will be
resorted 70. Everything advocated
by a member of Congress or citizen
from the South, it matters not how
just it may be, will be distorted into
u blow atithe country. Patriotism
will be used as amask to hide the de-
fectS of party, and the love Of conn
try will be the passion upon which
tricky politicians will play as a mu-
stefan plays upon an instrument.
The duty of the Democracy under
such circumstances is plain. They
must be upright, consistent, and con
trolled entirely by principle. They
must boldly walk up to their oppo,

They Did Wen.

In looking over the list Of bills
passed by the late Legislature, and
which are published in this issue,
with such inference as we have
drawn from the titles, we are Of the
opinion that the work completed BY
them, will be of decided and immense
value to the State. A great deal Of
legislation was left undone, but not
withstauding the body performed a
good deal Of labor and perfected and
passed many important laws, in the
short time they had allotted to them
for work.

ed by the marShals ofthe seyeral dis
tricts; and the latter exercise this APP.
pointing power without any visible
restraint. They may by law he APP
pointed only in cities having over
twenty thousand inhabitants, but
no such limitatisn was observed for
the South in the general election Of
1876, that section Of the country then
swarming with them.
The pay Of the Supervisors is $500
day; that Of the deputy.marshals is
s500a day, for ten days, making
$4,000. These deputies are authoriz.
ed to make instant arrests and to
commit to prison as ordered by their
superiors. In New York city at the
lastelection, thousands Of voters were
summarily arrested, and crowded in.
to jails and prisons and there kept
for twenty-four hours without food
or water, for mother real reason than
a purpose on their part to vote in
opp0sitionlto the Republican party.

atthe last Presidential election, and
when the army was massed around

sentatiyes Of the people and compel
them to submit to the installation Of
a fraudulent President, who now pro-
poses to perpctuate the rule of the
party of fraud by vetoing bills to re.
peal these despotic laws. We hope
and trust the Democratic party in
Congress will stand united and as
firm as rock in opposition to these
Infamous laws and if there is no 9TH
er way to wipe them out, let the
army be disbanded and the court
houses closed, and the people on the
frontiers can defend themselves as
the forefathers did when they were
struggling TO establish free institu-

of the several States can manage for
the time being to protect the person

to do is to free the'people from these
shackles of oppression, and after that
is accomplished, other and less i'm
