Portland, Me-, has a venerable post
office clerk, who thinks he can see
nothing without the help.of his spec
tacles. The other morning he took a
pair of speetacles from a drawer, put
them on and finished up his work in
good shape. On co~mpletingi it he took
off the speetacles to wipe them and
found that they consisted of a pair of
bows without any glass in them.

inc OnlUeO STATES u Canada.
New York Times.l
Mr.. Goodwin Smith, who is nothing
if not serious, takes in dead earnest
the rather ridiculous ceremonial rules
enforced in Canada regarding the re-
captions Of Lord Lorne and the Prin-
cess Louise. He sees in them an at
tempt Of the aristocracy and the
court to corrupt and degrade a
young civilization, and he prophesies
that they will SOW the seeds of fu-
ture enmity between the people of the
United States and those of Canada.
We venture to think that Mr.. Smith
attaches too much Importance to the
foolishness of our friends over the
border. Probably the royal element
in their society will sadly tax both
their revenues and their good sense,
and there are not lacking signs that it
has already gone far to bankrupt some
OF them in respect of both. But we
do not believe that they will be cor
rupted " or degraded as a body,
and we are quite sure that we and
they shall not be enemies from any
such cause. The snobs among them
will look down on us, Of course, but
we have too many snobs among us to
resent that, and the reasonable per
sons on both sides, who are the great
majority, will visit, and buy, and sell,
and smuggle, as amicably as if every
lady in Canada could appear before
the Princess with her shoulders
covered without a physicians certif-
cate.

A goodly number of the members
of the Greenback party of this eoun-
ty, assembled in Hartford on Satur.
day, March 29th 1879.
John A. Bennett was chosen Chair
man, and J. ID Byers Secretary.
Rev. q. j. Bean, Col. o. 2. John
son and A. S. Aull were appointed a
committee on resolutions, who report.
as follows:
Resolved That we are in favor of q
reduction of the salaries of all the
State and county offices. thereby
placing them at what they were be-
fore the war, when gold, silver and
paper were equal, and no more pur-
chasing poa er than now. Wear also
in favor of like reduction of fees OF
all the State and county officers of
this Commonwealth.
Resolved That we are in favor of
paying the public debt of the United
States according to the original con-
tract, and opposed to any further ill.,
terest bonds being issued by the gov
eminent.
Resolved That we are in favor OF the
abolition of large number of offices !;
We deem them entirely unnecessary
and m expense heaped upon the Ia
boring community, and in no wise,
beneficial.
Resolrod That we are in favor of
common schools, and that said schools
should be carried on for the beneti,
alone of the common school children
of the Commonwealth, and that the
high price we are now forced to pay
for books, is due to very great ex-
tent, to a system of monopoly carried
on by the powers that be.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
John A. Bennett was unanimously
chosen as the candidate of the party
for Representative of Ohio county.
A resolution was adopted, requesting
the Hartford Herald, Ohio County
News and Agriculturist-Legal Tender
to publish the proceedings of the meet
ing.

Court OF Appeals. shot
Down I'm Frankfort,
By Thos. Mn
lNrl.

On last Wednesday, about l
o'clock, Z. ~, Thos. Buford met
Judge John NJ. Elliott on the steps of
the Capital Hotel, in Frankfort, and
after exchanging a few words with
him. shot him down. The weapon
used was doubled-barreled shotgun.
each barrel loaded with IL buck-shot.
He said he loaded tie other barrel for
Judge Pryor, but concluded not TO
kill him. rs he had children. That
morning he visited Judge Cofer, and
it is thought he had some notion OF
killing Judge Coter. He was arrest
ed Immediately after me committed
the deed and placed in Jail. On his
way 10 prison, he handed the officer
his will, that he had previously pre-
pared, giving sll his effects to his
niece. Judge Elliott expired almost
instantly. In conversation with a
Courier-Journal reporter, Buford said
that he killed him because of de-
cision rendered in the Court of APP
pesls in case of Guthrie assignee of
Rowland VS.. Buford, &c. lie says
he selected Elliott from among the rest
because he gave him Judas kiss,
that is. decided the case against him
and then told him he did all he could
for him. Judge Elliott was about 80
years old, and a native of Virginia.
He was elected to Congress in 1858,
and reelected in '55, 81 and 80. from
the Sixth Kentucky District. He
has served in the State Legislature
and also filled the position of Circuit
Judge, just previous to being elected
Judge of the Court of Appeals, in
1876. Buford is one of the most
reckless daring men IN The state. III
has not been long since he drove the
Sheriff and posse of 26 men from his
place, who came to levy on property.
But for the presence Of mind of Gov
ernor McCreary and other officials, an
excited populace would have swung
Buford that same evening. Butord
was brought before an examining
court on Friday and waived an exami-
nation. and was remanded back to Jail.
Governor McCreary has issued a
proclamation for special election to
he held on the 18th of May next, to
fill the vacancy.
The Court of Appeals adjourned to
April 9Th, in honor of the deceased.

are Republicans as Democrats, al

merous in the county. We propose to

this year, by any political party. and
it is simply outrageous to class them as
criminals, because, probably few
persons we're present to answer indict-

No doubt, after such a compliment,
each Democrat i'm attendance at the
convention, will subscribe, at once, for

their respect?
