Editor Democrat;

WASHINGTON, u, u, June y.
Editor Democrat;
The desire among Congressman
TO get away from Washington for
the season is very great. Senators
and Representatives, arc leaving
every day, The vote to-day on
important questions connected
with the appropriation bills and
the Warner coinage bill will thoro-
fore be small. 1t is impossible to
form any accurate idea ofthc course
legislation on these subjects will
take, but the probability, is that
both the appropriation bills will
speedily pass the House, and, on
SONG day Of The present week will
pass the Senate. There is Of course
no valid reason for n veto, no bills
ever introduced being less subject
10 criticism except as to the unneG-
cssarily large amounts appropria-
ted, but it is not likely that Mr..
Hayes will veto them. The radicals
and among them We must now count
Mr.. sllayes, Aavc, however, a habit
of fighting anything that is DEM
ocratic, and a veto Of the ten COM
manlmcnts, ifprescnted by n DEM
ocrat and endorsed by n Democrat
ic committee, and passed, us of
course they would be, by n solid
Democratic vote over factious radi-
cal opposition, would be promptly
vetoed by The man who got office
through violation Of most Of the
ten. The idea of . free ballot, n
fair jury, or any restrictions upon
the use of the Army i'll time Of
peace, is equally distpsteful 10.

The united and enthusiastic sup
port Generals Ewing and Rice re-
ccivc rs candidates for Governor

is gratifying to every Democrat
whether lie holds the Ohio or the
New York idea upon money mat
tiers. 10 carry Ohio, us it now
eecms certain we shall do, is to
make Democratic success certain
in 1880, md in tho keeping of
Democrats the Governments credit
and the peoples rights will be
equally safe. The nominations
were admirable. That Of General

thought I would write. 1t seemed
certain that "Susic" was serious
lady, who for some reason was de-
Tending the young girls Of Sand
Fork, and in doing so took occa-
sion TO run down the boys; for she
implicitly said some excuse must
lie found to explain away the lack
Of beauty among the bcaux. She
docs not seem to see that | simply
disputed her word when she said
the boys Of that community lack
beauty. Well, what does she do?
She gives up the point and then
falls on me and hacks away at inc
and the Dutchman's choose, as If
that was the question at issue. II
is admitted to DO self-cvident by
every one who knows anything
about Sand Fork that some of her
assertions were incorrect. But it
seems as if she were trying to di-
vert attention from tho real ques-
ton.
Verify, is this grave daughter
of Sand Fork, contending for the
cxclusiveness of gaining cminencc?
Or is she a boxer struggling for
mere victory over her opponents?
That is what I would like TO know.
But even this rural boxer ought to
fight fairly, she should not garblc or
distort my assertions. | did say
TINT maid was e virgin. But !
did not say that it would nocessa-
rilv follow that girls who have at
tanned the ago Of sixteen would be
old maids, as ''Susic" in her illu-
sion asserts.
She has asked a question or two
which had nothing at all to do
with ii. Now, "Susic," there is
but one question | would ask; Do
you think the boys Of that COM
munity arc not handsome? AM
swcr this, or give up your hobby,
TO divert from this is to play cuttle
fish and muddy waters.

construction Of what is known as

made Il settlement Of his accounts
as such commissioner, tie other
day, with J. ". Wolfindin, Esq,
from which We are permitted to
make the following extracts:
Since the last termof the Court
said Commissioner Wilson has
learned that the Court made a
further appropriation of $15 for The
construction Of said road; but he
is Of opinion that said approprla-
ton will still be insufficient 10 con-
plete the road. The entlre cost
will approach FOO Fer Mile; hut
he is also Of opinion that the work
is of such importance to the coun:
ty, and its completion would be
so great 4 public benefit, as to fully
warrant the expenditure:
Said Wilson further recommends
m order Of the Court consolidating
the ROAD hands in the various pre-
einets adjacent to said work, and
requiring them TO contribute some
time TO its completion.
In explanation of the foregoing,
said Commissioner Wilson desires
to say that according to the report
ofthe viewers, there remains about
three miles Of said road yet to be
constructed; tho work thus far
done being on that portion Of tho
road nearest the Webster county
line; but the topography Of the

The ball at Shaefer's on Thursday night ended
for one couple in quite little scene. There is
no call for names. The lady had drunk little
more than was good for her; and on the way
home became very jealous of her husband be
cause two girls had spoken to him on the street,
He tried to humor her out Of it, but she was I'M
reasonable and wouldn't have it, and refused to
20 home. He threatened to call the police to
take her, whereupon she called them. Explana-
tions followed, and when the police said they'd
have to take her home, she made two desperate
attempts to jump into the canal, but was pre-
vented. After a great deal Of trouble she was
induced to go home to get some things before
leavn. her husband forever and for aye" and
when once in the house, it is believed her hus-
band kept her there till sobriety came to her. at
least the police saw no more Of her.
