crowded into the Exposition building,
remained peaceably until the close of the
proceeding. There were no speeches, but
liberal display of guns was made. The

ing of money to perfect their organiza-
tion, military and political.

Double Postal Cards, LetEeT sheet E5m-
VeIOpes and Double Letter EnFel.
Opess

Double Postal Cards, Letrer sheet En-
veIOpes. and Double Letter EnFels
Opes.
The clause in the Postofice sAppropri-
alton which provides for the double pos
tai card, also provides for letter sheet
envelope, which is to be stamped as en-
velopes are now stamped, and double
letter envelope. The double postal card
is in size similar to the present one cent
card. It bears at both upper corners a
one cent stamp, and lines are drawn from
the center, sloping downward to each
corner, to be written upon. The writer
of the card uses the right hand side, and
the receiver uses the left hand side for
his reply. The double letter envelope is
stamped twice, and the sender uses the
right, and the receiver the left-hand side
in writing the address. At the back of
the envelope is dOuble-gummed flap di-
vided by perforated line. The lower
one is used for sealing by the sender, and
the receiver uses his knife along the per-
forated line and has new gummed flap
ready for use. The letter-sheet envelope
is designed to do away with outer envel-
opes. Its patentee claims great merit for
it for the reason that it often occurs that
the date at which a writing has been
mailed cannot be ascertained because the
enIelope has been lost. Here letter and
envelope are one. The new law does not
direct the Postmaster General to issue
three patented conveniences. 1t only al
lows him the discretion to do so. The
POstoffice Department had nothing to do
with having this clause inserted in the
bill.

The Northern Democrats begin to'real-
ize just how much they have gained by
the capture of Congress through the SUI
premacy of ex-Confederates. Their
Southern friends are notdisposed to abate
their pretences because of any delicacy
or danger of Northern Democrats. Greedy
for the spoils, they propose to reach the
Treasury by the shortest route. They
propose to overcome what Hnpopularity
the Democracy may suffer at the North by
providing a way for the fraudulent con-
troll of power. A spirit of desperation,
such as controlled them before the war,
appears to animate them now. 1t will be
strange if the North does not go solidly
against the Democracy in the next gener-
al eleetion.-s-Pittsbmrg Commercial Gazette.

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

A number of the stockholders of the S.,
j. g. p. r. r. met in Grange Hall Tues
day afternoon. Mr.. A. W. Seymour was
called to the chair and A. VOight selected
as Secretary.
The chairman stated that the object of
the meeting was to raise funds to contest
the seizure of the road by Springfield
parties.
#James Emmitt, of Waverly, said that
we had road which was intended to de-
velop the resources of the country along
its route, but instead of doing so by some
means it has fallen into the hands of a
receiver. He had made a proposition to
the Springfield parties to raise money to
relieve the Indebtedness of the road, and
they had given him certain time to COM
ply Herewith, but they had broken the
agreement and paid no attention to his
earnestness in the matter. He gave de-
tailed account of his failure to secure
possession of the road. Springfield had
formed a ring and meant to run the road
in their interest. The best way is to let
the road go to sale and make heavy bid
on the same by combination of stock
holders. Thomas, of the Columbus Roll
ing Mill Company, had betrayed Mr.. En-
mitt's confidence and acted with the
Springfield clique.
Gen. w. A. Jones, of Waverly, read
the petition filed in the Clark County
OOuTG OF common 1l0dS Dy the DOnUlOIQ-
ers upon which the railroad was thrown
into the hands of a receiver.
Mr.. Emmitt continued his explanation.
The road cannot be sold if the stockholders
make a vigorous fight against it. He
urged that the road should be placed in
the hands of disinterested party and
have Mr.. Whitley removed. The bonds
were held merely as collaterals for money
advanced. Counsel was to be employed
by the stockholders to defeat the schemes
of the Springfield men. A motion had to
be filed within the next ten days to resist
their action. They always made plenty
OF promises to pay but never fulfilled
them. If the road could be got into the
hands of practical railroad man, the
debts could be paid off in three years, and
returned to the stockholders to be opera
ted for their benefit. He made an on
slaught on Whitley, charging him with
running the road so as to rob it and af-
terward owning it. Various authorities
were quoted resisting the action of bond
holders and in all cases decided in favor
of stockholders. Judge Hume agreed to
have stockholders heard and grant no
motion without their consent. Lawyers
claim that the present receiver can be
easily removed and management of the
road put under other control. Subserip-
ton books were now passed around and
stockholders signed their names pledging
two per cent.
The meeting thereupon adjourned.-

Tilden.s

And now as TLDES,s turn to be paraIyzed
comes that irrepressibie Mr.. HEWITT APP
pears to say: ut is not true that MI.
. TlLDEN has been attacked By paralysis.
al saw BIN to-day at General TAYLoRs fu'
/" neral for the first time in six weeks. His
scolor was good, aud he walked firmly ana
"briskly," That settles the question.
And Mr.. TILpEN being yindicated from
the scandalous paralysis, what now can be
said on the other side for General GRANT?
We suppose that the Louisville Jomna!
takes not charge of him; but that as his
prospects for the presidency are growing
bright some OF the ofice-hunters are look
ing to him. We hardly suppose that tue
health OF the General will tend towards the
disturbance OF his personal ambition at ,his
time; and we take 1t that both the horses
named by the New York Times Tor the race
In 1880 are in good condition.
But there is much time ahead, and there
ia no telling what may happen to the most
prominent rivals. So far as General
GRANTS physical iufirmities are concerned,
they are not likely to interrupt his ambl-
ton. and without some disadyenture within
a few months he. will hardly be ready be-
fore the day Of the nomination to wash bis
hands and retire from the contest, as some
have said.
