"Blaine's Witnesses"

At the time Mr.. Blaine offered his resolu-
ton in the Senate directing an investigation
of charges of fraud and intimidation at the
polls, the entire Democratic press professed
an earnest desire that the Maine Senator
should produce his witnesses. And for some
ii after the adoption of the resolution and
the appointment of an investigating COM
mittee Democratic papers facetiously men,
toned "Baine's Witnesses and pretended
to wonder where they were. But there has
been change of tone of late. The jocularity
Of these journalists has come to a sudden
pause. The boys are really frightened, for
in obedience to their taun.ing cries, Senator
Blaine has brought on his bears.
The Teller Committee has examined wit
nesses in Louisiana, and is now conducting
an investigation in South Carolina. The
facts so far adduced amply justify the intro
duction of the resolution providing for an
examination of the charges brought against
the dominant party in these two States, and
prove that there was little if any exaggera-
ton in the accusations made. The evidence
is strong and uncontradicted that the Demo-
Gratis carried Louisiana last fall by terrorizlng
the negro vote; that bodies of armed men
rode over the State shooting down colored
men and breaking up Republican meetings;
that it was unsafe for negro to cast Re
publican vote; that those who attempted to
50 vote made the attempt at the peril of their
lives: and that in consequence of this vio-
lence the will OF the people of Louisiana did
not find expression at the polls. So much
was made clear to every reasonable mind.
In South Carolina, it appears by the testi-
mony so far taken, there was violence exer-
cised by the whites, but matters were not
carried to so extreme length as in Louisiana.
A less barbarous but quite as Objectionable
method of securing the election of Demo-
cratic candidates was resorted to. The chiv-
airy of South Carolina stuffed the ballot
boxes. The Democrats took possession
of the polls, drove the Republican super
visors away, and then packed the
boxes with tissue-paper ballots. In the
precinct 1876 more ballots were cast
than there were voters; in another 15S more,
and so on. The testimony to this is as yet
unrefutsd, and believed to be irrefutable.
The Democrats acknowledge that the tissue
paper ballots were used by them, and one of
their witnesses confessed that s'some of them
might have been irregularly used!" There
was no other use for them.
Somnch "Blaine's witnesses" have proved !;
and they have not all been heard yet.

MONTGOMERY BLAIR has blown another
bugle-blast for Tilden. He claims to have
discovered the existence of conspiracy con-
trived in the interest of Senator Bayard to
prevent the denomination of Mr.. Tilden.
The Electoral Commission was the first de.
velopment of the plot, he says, and he thus
pays his respects to Mr.. Bayard:
The object of the chief actor in this transac.
tion is fully revealed in the determination that
Mr.. Tllden should not be che candidate of the
party for the succession. Having defeated the
Republicans 10 the election and secnred the
solid South, they thought that possession of
Federal Government was assured them by
their own men. aided by Tammany, the Canal
Ring and kindred interests in the North; and
accordingly Mr.. Bayard-who was chiefly in
strumental in organizing the commission, who
may be said to have been born politically of
slavery (for, until that question was used to
consolidate the South, Delaware had never
cast Democratic vote,-is named for the sue
cesson by Mr.: Lamar, claiming to be backed
by the solid South, ana Tammany anc the
Canal Ring heartily respond.

MIR. CRANKY Bull is about to make journ-
allsm lively in Illinois. Ga his release from
the Chicago Jail short time ago he set about
getting money with which to start weekly
paper to be known as the ThundeyboH, and
to be ''devoted to the interests of down-trod-
den humanity and the sporting classes" The
capital required was only fifty dollars and to
raise it he sold his body in advance to class
OF medical students for fifty dollars, one
clause in the contract reading as follows:
And to The end that the parties of the first
part may have a reasonable assurance of
speedy return from the investment by them
made, it is agreed by the party of the second
part that he shall conduct the said journal
known as the Thunderboh in such manner,
BY assaults upon desperate characters or such
other methods a, may recon- mend themselves
to his Judgment, as to make it probable that he
will be assassinated or killed within reason

THE Democratic Senators voted solidly
Thursday in favor Of Southern war claim.
1t was the cotton claim of Warren Mitchell
of Louisville, KY, tor $12S,0O0. Mitchell, at
the opening of the war, entered the Confed-
crate lines at Charleston, on permit from
General Anderson, to collect large debts in
Georgia due his firm. He remained inside
the rebel lines, furnishing commissary stores
to the enemy for three years. When the
Union army went through Georgia it seized
$12S, 900 worth of Mitchell's cotton, and the
proceeds went into the Treasury. After the
war he sued the Government for this amount
in the court of claims and failed, and on an
appeal to the Supreme Court failed again.
Now he secures every Democratic vote In the
Senate to take the money out OF the Treas

ONLY one amendment of Importance was
added to the new patent law bill as it passed
the Senate. This amendment provides that,
in suits brought in courts having jurisdiction
in patent cases for alleged infringement of
any patented article, device, invention, etc
when it shall appear that the defendant pur-
chased the article from the manufacturer. or
from a person or firm engaged in the open
sale or application thereof, and applied the
same to his own use, and not for sale nor for
making a product for sale, if the plaintiff
shall recover judgment for nominal damages
only, the court shall adjudge that he pay all
the costs of the suit. If the plaintiff shall
not recover 500 or over, the court shall cause
him to pay his own costs unless it shall ap-
pear that the defendant, at the time of max
ing the purchase, had knowledge OF the actual
existence of the patent.

Apropos OF this, is 1t that people rush with
such unseemly haste into poesy when per-
son dies. 1t seems to be without reason or
rhyme. Hardly has the ultimate throb OF
the weary heart pusated, when some kind
but execrable friend proceeds to embalm the
remains In lachrymose pentameter. When
the funeral procession winds its way to the
lonely churchyard the horses have to keep
step to the cadence of an ill-timed but kindly
dithyrambic; and the dull thud of the sex
toms shovel finds itself synchronous with the
signing measures Of threnody in s. and 6s.

A Hint for Boys.

A philosopher has said that tru
education for boys, is to "teac
them what they ought to know
when they become men,"
What is it they ought to know
then?
1. To be true to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had
better not know how to read-he
had better never learn a letter in
the al phabet, and be true and gen.
uine in intention and action, rather
than beng learned in all sciences
and in all languages, to be at the
same time false at heart and coun-
terfeit in life. Above all things
teach the boys that truth is more
than riches, more than culture,
more than earthly power or posi-
ton.
2. To be pure in thought, Ian
guage and life-pure in mind and in
body. An impure man, young or
old, poisoning the society where he
moves with smutty stories and i'm
pure example, is a moral ulcer, a
plague spot, leper, who ought to
be treated as were the lepers of old,
who were banis he'd from society and
compelled to cry, " Unclean," as a
warning to save others from the
pestilence.
8. To be unselfsh. To care for
the feelings and comfort of others.
To be polite. To be just in all
dealings with others. To be gen.
erous, noble and manly. This will
include genuine reverence for the
aged, and things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant and self
helpful, even from early childhood.
To be industrious always and self
supporting at the earliest proper
age. Teach them that all honest
work is honorable, and that an idle,
useless life of dependence on 9th
ers is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these
things; when he has made these
ideas part of his being-however
young he may be, however poor, or
however rich, he has learned some
of the most important things he
ought to know when he becomes a
man. With these four properly
mastered; it will be easy to find all
the rest.

has been for some time past. Things
are lively here. Notwithstanding the
cold and rainy weather, all appear
to be at work. There are no slug
CARDS here in this vicinity; all are
industrious, hard working citizens,

families-those that have them
and those that have not, are labor

The frogs have gone to sleep !;
the hour of their torpidity has

grandeur which eclipses all the
