Since the rapid advance in wheat and the set

this and tell your neighbor about it, and save

The weather now is exceedingly pleasant and
enjoyable. Neither too warm nor too cool, the
bright sunshine, the green sward, the many
colored leaves of autumn, the song of birds, and
the busy hum of industry make life worth liv-
ing for. In addition to all this there is feeling
stealing almost uncOnsciously over everybody

and pleasanter days are before US. We fee

A CONTRAST.

From the Columbus, Ga, Enquirer-Sun.l
Gen. j. B. Gordon was not only a
'brigadler' whom the northern republi-
cans appear to dread so much, but a
Acknowledgements. the commander of q
corps in the southern army. How brave
ly he fought all the records tell. Mr..
Conkling fought his battles in the peace
able halls OF congress. The only time
he was affronted by shotgun he turned
and hastily protected his front at rap
id trot away from Rhode Island. Both
these gentlemen are members of the
United States senate. One made
speech lately'in Savannah, the other in
Brooklyn. each in the house OF his
friends. The rebel Georgians speech
was of peace and good will to men of
all sections, of devotion to constitution
and law-taking broad. comprehensive
view of the country-that of a states
man. The other was bitter and invec-
tive, e,denunciatory of a very large section
of the land, and as demonstrated by the
election of 1876 majority of the United
States; the south was accused of treason
OF an intention to repudate the national
debt; OF an endeavor to starve out the
government; and he charged the dem
ocratic party with everything that was
mean and vile in politics; instead of in
culcatlng brotherhood, he aroused the
worst oil passions. There is the contrast.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 2l, 1879.
EDITOR IHTKLLIaKNcsR:-Few men achieve q
greater triumph than Senator Thurman did in
securing the passage. two years or 80 ago, OF
the bill compelling the Pacific railways to make
provision for the ultimate payment of the ad-
vances made by the United States. The bill
was fought desperately, for. In the end, 1t
would make difference OF something like u
hundred millions to the railroad corporations.
In . wor,i, It proposed to compel them to be
honest. The great senator's triumph was em-
phasizsd yesterday by a decision of the supreme
court-only three justices dissenting-that the
measure was constitutional. Senator Thurman.
author, defender. and advocate Of the bill. and
without whom it would never have passed the
senate. is to be congratulated upon such an in
dOrsement rs this. But everybody knows that
he is the abest OF American lawyers.
Secretary Schurz and General Sherman have
not yet come to blows upon their respective
shares of responsibility for the present Indian
outbreak. but they are abusing each other
through publications in the papers. The most
damaging thing said of Schurz, however. Is said
by himself and is that the first notice OF the In
dian rising and the appeal for aid renamed in
his Office from Saturday evening TO Monday
morning before being transmitted to the war de-
partment. This is one of those matters which
deserve strict inquiry. 1t does not excuse Mr.,
Schurz that ne was away at the time. Heshould
have been here. But when here he gives little
personal attention to the details of oiiicial bust
ness, trusting implicitly to subordlnates. Per-
haps there was never less practical man than
the secretary. and therefore one less calculated
for the position he ILLS. He was probably writ
ing treatise political reform during the
hours when the patent Office building was burn
ing down over his head two years ago. He may
be writing it still. for the patent ofice building
has not been repaired. and the rains OF heaven
have for that time been kept from the records.
or dropped upon them. by shabby board coy
ering.
Secretary Evarts, who succeeded in driving
Mr.. Cornell out of the New York custom house
on high civil service grounds. has gone over TO
New York to force the same politician upon the
people as their governor. Secretary Sherman,
who aided Secretary Evarts in slsughtering Mr..
Cornell, will soon go to join in the effort to make
Cornell governor. Mr.. Hayes, who, early In
his administration, confided civil service to the
care OF Secretary Evarts and another secretary,
says he should vote for Cornell IL he were in
New York. Pecksnin. prating OF morality while
he robbed and swindled right aud left, was .
more consistent man than any of these.
