A Paris correspondent of the New
York Star says: As the Russian
journals are forbidden 10 publish intclli-
gence of the cruel repression Of recent
strike in st. Petersburg, the news has
been communicated 10 us by travellers
who have Just arrived from the Russian
capital, and who speak Of what had oc-
CURED under their own observation. A
strike took place at the new Russian cot.
ton mill, in the principal manufacturing
district Of the capital. A large number
Of strikes have occurred there Of late
years, and the police have sometimes
sided with the veavers. On this occa-
sion the work. people struck for shorter
hours Of labor, thirteen and half hours
n day being not unnaturally regarded a.
excessive. In the morning the veavers
and spinners assembled in . crowd out
side the mill, and the district police
master hearing Of the disturbance, Bent
some mounted police to reason with
them. The gendarmes, however, pro-
duced no effect, and the strikers set of
in n body from the new canal 30 lay their
case before the czarewitch. Intelligence
of this was at once sent TO the nearest
ohfFaeke, anu b the cfpEu paeteu tue
place they were surrounded by q number
Of Cossacks, who drove them into a
square in front OF the barracks, using
their sabers and whips freely among
them. Many of the strikers were cut
about dreadfully. After the crowd vas
locked mp in the barracks police com.
mission was instituted 10 try them, the
verdict being as follows: All the men
above the age Of nineteen (seventy in
number) are TO be exiled 10 the province
Of Archangel, after receiving sixty lashes
apiece /; ell under that age are TO be sent
back to the village whence they came,
and are 10 be kept there the remainder

A Snurcn Of Much Bodily Evil.

If the habit Of holy becomes irregular, much
evil is inflicted on the system. The stomach be-
comes dyspeptic. bilious symptoms develop
themselves, the circulation is contaminated. anc
the nerves share Ein the general disorder. 1t is
of the utmost importance that the bowels should
be thoroughly aud speedily regulated when they
grow derelect. The corrective agent best adapt
ed TO this purpose is Hostetters Stomlch Bit
tiers, a wholesome, non gripping vegetable laXl-
tvie, worth all the rasping cathartics invented
since the time of Paracelsus. People who have
been in the habit of using blue pill. calmolel,
stipatinn, should abandon such hurtful and use
less medicines. and substitute for them this
pleasant and gentle aperient, which not only
produces the purgative effect naturally, but
also strengthens while it reg Ilates the bowels
stou. ach and liver. 1t moreover cures and pee
vents intermittent and remittent fevers. govt,
rheumatism. debility and urinary troubles.

Bob INGERsoLL is after Corbin for
having insulted the Jews. and makes
some of his peculiar points against him.
In a letter to Nh. j. j. Noah, of New
York, speaking of Corbin's action, he
says:
"When we remember that God select
ed q Jewess for His mother. passing by
the m of India, Egypt, Athons and
Rome, as we'll a the grand>mothers OF
Mr.. Oorbin, it 10 hardly in good taste
for the worshipers Of that same God
to hold the Jews in seorn." He further
saws: "'Neither should it be forgotten
that the Jews furnished their persecu-
tors with a religion, and that they are
the only people. according % the dog
mas of our day, with whom the AL
mighty ever deigned to have any inter
course whatever"

Kentucky gave a Democratic MAORI.

course. It always does. The good old
Commonwealth never departs from the
faith.
Maine. once as reliably Democratic
as Kentucky, but of late years given
over to Rtdicalism, partially redeemed
herself last year. and will complete the
work in 1880. The election there is
early in September. 1t is believed
that very few of those who last year
left the Republican party will ever re-
turn to it.
The Government pays out regularly
about thirty millions per year as pen
sion money to soldiers of the late war,
This year, owing to various provisions
of the arrears act and other acts the
sum will be about seventy millions.
That CT the excess over the smaller
sum will cease with this year. o.

and Justice. The only proper course
for the Government to take is of course
To nn1O as far aS IL caD the vropo done

SOME of the papers have made the
statement that John r. Lynch has been
appointed to supervise the census of
this State next year. This is a miss
take. A Democratic Senate will have

,rhe County Conycn ton.

The Democratic County Cow ention
convened in Brookhaven last Saturday
with fifty delegates. 1t decided to hold
n primary election to nominate candi-
dates for all offices, adopted a resolution
that only Democrats and Conser vatives
c,n vote, adopted a plan for conducting
the primary election; appointed ten
delegates to the district convention, and
instructed them to vote for Longino;
appointed an Executive Committee;
passed a resolution declaring Maj. e.
Bark sdale the choice Of the convention
for United States Senator, and ad-
iourned.
The convention has been censured
by some for agreeing TO nominate either
by convention or primary election. We
believe they did right. and their action
will yet be sustained by the people of
Lincoln county. The convention real
lied the Importance of making nomin-
ations and adopted the primary election
plan as the fairest and best. If honest
men conduct primary elections there is
no chance for them to defeat the wish
of the people. Every Democrat can
vote for whom he pleases.
Some object to the primary election
b~ecausei it denies the white and black
Radicals q vote. That is one of the
greatest charms of the plan. Radicals
have no right to assist IN nominating
Democrats, and if the primary election
allowed them to vote IT would be q cheat,
a swindle and a farce. Let the Demos
Gratis and Conservatives make their own
nominations, and if the negroes and
white Radicals choose to vote for them
on election day, all right. If not, they
can do as they please, and We can elect
cur men without their assistance. We
have done it IL the past, and can DO so
again.
The resolution Of the convention is
piein--no n can misinterpret it. II
means that only Democrats and Conser-
vatives-white or black-can vote Mt
the primary election, and zone other.
That is right, and nothing else would
satisfy our people.

As will be seen by advertisement
elsewhere the Board of Supervisors, of
Lincoln county, will let out the paupers
to the lowest bidder on the first Mou-
day in September. This is n move in

fore pursued of supporting the paupers
has well nigh broke the county. The
question has often been asked, why
have we not a poor house? "Oh, because
some of the paupers won't go to one "
Then their names should be stricken of
the list.
We are informed that Copian county,
with about double our population, has
a poor house and that its paupers do
not cost over $500 per year; while ours
cost over So, ZOO. We should, by all
means, establish the poor house system,
then the pauper fund will not be re-
ceived as a bounty.
The contract should not be awarded
to the man who will:agree to.support. all
the paupers for q given price, bnt to
the one who will agree to support them
for so much each. The county ought
not to run the risk of paying for some.

pers are compelled to go to the poor
house, the number will decrease as
