substracting the 5000 Democratic
vote left the Greenback strength a
$4,000; this year, with the total vote
in the State increased $4,000 i
polled $4,000 votes only, which Il
equivalent to loss Of 1900 OIL
10000. sr
In Maine last year it polled 4l,0O(
votes; ia Maine this year II pollet
$4,000, gain Of l5,0O0.
No comparison can be made be

count of the Butler Democratic vot,
being entirely mixed in with tn
total vote that Gen. Butler received.

a Work of Charity.

LOUISVILLE, ky., Oct. 10Th, 1873.
The undersigned have been ap-
| Poihfed committee for the purpose
Of raising fund for the support and
education Of the children of the late
General John b. Hood. 1t is 'unnec-
essary to recount to the people of
this State the sad and touching cir
cumstances attending the death OF
this brave man.
AS u son of this COMMONWEALTH,
its people have watched his course
with pleasure, and Experienced just
sense Of pride in the splendid repu-
tation his courage and talents have
achieved. Dying, in the city of New
4 Orleans, with that dreadful disease,
Yellow Fever, to which his gentle
wife had fallen victim only few
days previous, leaving ten helpless
children, the Oldest 5Hst ten years Of
age, and the youngest an infant ut
the mothers breast. In his last mo-
ments he committed his fatherless
and motherlcss babes 10 the generous
kindness Of his fellow-soldiers and
citizens of the South. The helpless
and desolate condition of these chill
dren speak more eloduently than the
words of men to the charitable world.
Gen.1Iood left no estate whatever,
and while Others have responded so
literally, no movement has been In
augurated in his native State for the
noble purpose named.
No worthier cause can be present
ed for the charity Of tho benevolent
people of the South, and we earnest
| ly appeal TO all good people of this
State to contribute. bet every local
ity start subscrip and forward
the amounts raised 10 Clinton Nc.
CLARITY, Esq, Cashier of the Louis
vile, Clearing House, Louisville
Treasurer, or any member of the
Committee.
The smallest sums will be received
and we suggest that dollar subscrip.
tions be circulated. The money so
given will be applied faithfully TO the
holy purpose for which it is given,
We respectfully request the news
papers of the State. 10 publish this
call, and urge upon their readers a
suitable response, and thus project
from want the helpless children Of a
Kentuckian who was as generous in
peace as he was brave in war.
Please consider this as a personal
appeal toyou, and help oil this work
by an immediate response.

Hines, Regain & Co. are sinking a

A rumor is afioat that the Homestake
company threatened to shut down both

so as yet, and it is believed there is no
foundation for the rumor.

MI. Fisk, editor and proprietor of
the Helena Herald, who passed through
Cheyenne Thursday en- route for New
York city, says rapid steps are being
made toward the development of Mon
tana. He says that during the last
year there vas an immigration of about
five thousand persons into that region,
and that there is every promise, with
the new facilities for reaching it, of not
less than twenty thousand this sum-
mer. The Utah Northern railroad has
reached Black Foot. twenty miles this
side of Snake River bride. The road
is graded to this bridge. Preparations
are made for pushing it with redoubled
energy this year, and it is stated that
by next fall the track will be laid two
hundred miles farther, which will take
it into Red Rock valley, within twenty
four hours staging from Helena. There
has been very little snow this winter,
through Montana, and stock is doing
well on all the ranges.

self very industrious at Washington, in
the polygamous interests of the Saints.
His latest bright idea is to appeal to
the national authorities not to execute
the law against polygmamy at all, on
the ground that no nor polygamous
marriages will take place, and that the
present generation of well-wived Nor
mons will die off eventually, leaving
affairs in Utah in n perfectly proper
condition. And all this, Mr.. Cannon
says, viii transpire without trouble or
i'll feeling.
The San Francisco Chronicle says the
national authorities have no choice in
the matter. 1t is their business to en-
force the statues enacted by congress,
whether they please to do SO or not.
In the next place, the Mormons have
no inclination or intention of discon-
tinuing their odious system of concu-
binage. Plural marriages were never
before SO numerous at Salt Lake City as
they are at the present time. and, in
stead of respecting the law of the Unit
ed States against polygamy, the Nor
mons glory in defying it. Therefore it
should be enforced to the letter, or po-
lygamy should be recognized as a legit-
innate institution, and the law prohib-
iting it should DO repealed.

''The Hopes and Fears of the Ameri-

uscript or notes, apparently wholly ex-
tempOre, yet, the mastery manner in
which he handled his subject, his ia
miliaity with dates, ancient and mod
ern history of countries suggested the
idea that it was a studied effort and
that more than ordinary intelligence
and research was necessary to the full
analysis of the question presented. The
governor very ably, and at times, most
eloauently contrasted the theories of
different governments to our own free
America, and showed in a most MASTER
ly manner how it was that many nations
had stranded, gone to pieces, or sunk
into an irretrievable vortex of hopeless
ruin. Pomp, show, and the glittering
splendor Of kingdoms, municipalities
and powers, great standing armies,
geographical and climatic influences on
the races of men; all were prominent
points, as well as interesting divisions
Of his subject, and when he had finished
this most able and interesting lecture,
every one of his hearers rising with the
closing p%erorations of the speaker, light
flashing in every eye, and a glow Of the
sense of satisfaction and pleasure
beaming in every ~countenance, all con-
graduated themselves that they lived
in 30 favored a land, and that they
could, indeed, say that they were Amer
lean citizens.

Stock Notes.

The winter thus far at Green River
and vicinity has, with the exception of
a couple of weeks, been unusually
pleasant. The heaviest snow was not
to exceed two inches in depth.
On the Big Sandy cattle are rolling
fat and as frisky as little sheep. Stock
Of all kind is doing splendidly-not
enough snow to hinder grazing so far
this winter, and weather fine.
The prospect in all parts of the terri
tory r good. There has not been suf-
icient snow yet to interfere with graz
ing. We have not heard Of a single
straw of hay or any kind Of feed being
given to cattle; they Craze as in sum-
mer, OF the open prairie, with no shelf
er. Cattle are-in exceedingly good con-
dition. The winter season is about
half gone, and six weeks hence, the
grass will shoot up and the winter will
be gone. For stock raising, Wyoming
territory will soon take the lead.
