BECOMING 4 Stall WART.

The Boston Herald has always been
conservative politically, and can hardly
be said to have been a republican paper
at all. 1t has, however, seen about all
it wants to Of southern bulldozing and in
a recent issue defined its views as fol-
lows, showing that it is becoming decid-
edly stalwart in it's convictions:
'If the democratic party wants to car
~ a single northern state next year, it
should hasten to repudiate the course of
those Mississippi democrats who drove
off opposition candidates by violent meas
ures. The federal bayonet in posse is a
much less formidable danger to the north
ern mind than the bulldozers shotgun in
esse, If it gets to be understood that the
democratic party in the south will not al
low of the existence of any political OPP
position, the average northern man will
decide that it is not the party to rule
this country. 1t ceases to be a question
Of party, and becomes one of civilization
and free government We do not hest
tate to say that the course of the Miss
lssippi democrats, if persisted in, merits
the extreme penalty applicable to a state
which fails to maintain republican
form of government and justifes the en-
ployment of federal army, if necessary
to enforce obedience to the constitution. .

Gently, Mr.. Beecher made a.sgood point
while discussing the American financial
question: Il have asked these green.
hackers he said, why it was, believing
as they do that the government can make
money by printing it, that they believed
in taxation at all? Why should the
government tax the people ever 50 light

money, avoid the painful and annoying
necessity OF levying taxes and the ex-

The following from The Weekly Chro-
nicle, of Leadville, Col, refers to former
residents of Jefferson county who it will
be seen have struck a bonanza in the
new Eldorado:
ON midwinter, H. Squires and five
other tenderfeet came to Leadville to
make their fortunes. Finding prospects
on the mountains and in the deep SHOWS
very serious reality, five left the camp
and returned to their homes in Wiscon-
sin, but Mr.. Squires was made of sterner
stuff, so he remained. Meetingss an
old miner who had for ten years been I'M
successful in seeking for the hidden treas
ures, but not the least disheartened, these
two men found four other men equally
as plucky as themselves, whereupen
they set out to find a fortune in Evans
gulch, wading through the snow five feet
in depth to and a location. On the ridge
that divides Big Evans from South Evans
below the Little Ella mine, and directly
opposite and about 1000 feet north of
the Colorado Prince, these determined
miners shoveled away the snow and be-
gan sinking shaft through the frozen
ground Seven months of hard work
found them still unsuccessful, but persist
ent, but last Tuesday morning chance
blow of the pick revealed the shining ga
lena. They are now drifting in a solid
body of galena six feet III thickness, and
the bottom not yet reached. The assays
are so ounces silver, one and half
ounces gold, and 60 per cent. lead. The
name of the mine is the Virginius, and
the owners are H. Squires, Kit Anderson,
A. Newton, A. P. Newton, E. Rogers,
and d. ROGERS.

WE expect to see The Watertown
Democrat bristle all over this week with
sharp pointed hits against the policy be-
ing pursued in Mississippi by democrats
to squelch the independent and republi-
can voter. The Democrat is so high
toned in its notions politically that it will
of course, not fail to denounce the bull
doing Of Barksdale and his followers
who found it necessary to resort to init
midation and murder to win success.
Possibly, however, The Democrat may
take the other tack and tell us, as it has
told us before, that the elective franchise
is as free and fair in the south as it is in
the north. We shall see

IHE Democrat undertook last week in
a two column article to demolish the opin-
lon OF attorney general Wilson, which lie
has given that clerk of the court must
be elected in this county in November
next 1t seems useless to follow the ar
gument of The Democrat particularly
as the democratic county committee has
accepted the view of the attorney eener-
al, and called convention to nominate
a candidate. Perhaps The Democrat
man, who writes as if he were a great
constitutional lawyer, may induce the
convention to not make any nomination,
or If this does not win, the Yazoo plan
IS open to him, and he may adopt the
Barksdale tactics and try to drive all APP
position away. We think, however, that
when election day comes around, the re-
publicans will be found with a candidate
IN the field who may secure votes enough
fer his success.

Either as a pleasure or business Buggy, has never
yet been approached in the art of Carriage build
ing. 1t is superior to all other buggies for it's
Simplicity, because the complete running gear
of these buggies is constructed with fewer parts
and pieces than the ordinary side or elliptic bug
ges, and hence, Lightness, Strength and bura-
bility are secured. There being no rigid connec-
ton between the axles no violent shock or strain
can be impaired to the wheels or any other part
Of the vehicle.
Anease Of motion is impaired to the body never
before equaled in any kind class of Pleasure
Carriages, while, at the same time, the buggy
presents an elegance in appearance, and a Style
of Finish never yetapprOached. The Eclipse IS
positively an Anti-Rattling Buggy, there being
no piece or part about the entire gearing that
can ever wear so as to become loose or s'shaky''

A GREENBACK orator in Maize, the
other night, in referring to the resump-
ton OF specie payments, declared that
the republican party was in no wise re-
sponslble for the event: that ':the bless
ing of God, and the overriding Provi-
dence that had brought such good crops. -
should be given the credit of resumption.
'Then,' answered a voice i'll the crowd.
the greenback party in opposing resump-
ton last year, was at war with Provi-
dence." The speaker passed on to the
next topic. The fact is imitation orators
are not having as eNhuberant a time OF
1t IN this campaign as they did last The
people are constantly reminding them
that they lied about resumption.

edy passed the House, and will probably go
Trough the Senate. 1t increases the repre-

fair representation, but 1t is a great improve
ment over the present apportionment. and
the Democrats support it. Now 1t requires
Democratic majority of $4,000 in the State to
give that party reasonably fair chance for
q majority In the Legislature Under the
new bill, should 1t become a law, the Repub-

A partisan fight Is promised In Congress
over the census bill. The Democrats are
afraid that II the control of the census de-
partment Is handed over to a Republican ad-
ministration, the latter will take advantage
of the hints given them by the New York
Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial and
try some returning board" work on the re-
turns so as to cheat the Southern and Demo-
cratic States out OF some OF the representa-
ton in Congress that they are entitled to. To
prevent this. 1t is proposed by S. s. CoX's CEN
sus bill that the heads OF the census bureau
In each State shall be appointed by the Gov
ernor OF that State. The Republicans, on the
other hand want the appointment OF these
State supervisors given to the Secretary of
the Interior. Over this question the two par
ties have had several earnest and excited de-
bates, strict party lines having been main
tanned In voting on it.
Butler has now come in with what he en-
titles compromise measure, which requires
half the supervisors In each State to be Demo-
Gratis and the other half Republicans, these
supervisors and their deputies being forbid
den, under heavy penalties, from discussing
politics while engaged In taking the census.
1t is evident that some measure must be
taken by the Democrats to prevent false
enumeration of the population OF the South
The manner in which the State eensuses wer
taken In South Carolina and Louisiana by the
Cnamoeriain and Kellogg governments In
$780, SHOWS how easy it is to make such a
Iaise statement, and how readily the Republi-
.'ans WIN seize on such an opportunity to
benefit themselves.
