spoke with great earnestness and in the
language of the heart From 1885 down

of Tennessee, delivered most forcible,
practical, and at the same time eloquent
speech. In alluding to the. Importance
of completing the road, he said that he
had come distance of nearly 800 miles
to reach a place a little more than 80
miles distant. We want Tennessee and
North Carolina united by bands of
iron we want to feel the grip of the
iron rails. Tennessee once belonged to
North Carolina, and we want you to
take US back. Then you tap the great
Northwest, the great gransries of the
West. He stated that the soldiers of
both sections acted we'll; they bear
no malice towards each other. There
are momorles which We would not for
get. Scars cannot be eradicated; the
oak of the forest heals its wounds by
time. No agency is better to bind US to
the Northwest than bands of steel
They will scatter blessings over both
sections.
At the close Of ex-Gov. Senter's ad-
dress, of which the foregoing is a mere
outline, for I have not attempted to
furnish you with more than a strand or
two from the rich, silken cords OF ora
tory which the various speakers threw
around the admiring multitude.

The litigation over the immen.


The litigation over the immense
estate of Brigham Young, the late
Chief of the Mormons, at Salt Lake,
Utah, was settled on Saturday last
by a compromise. The suit was
brought against the executors of the
estate and the Mormon Church for
the recovery of 81, 00O,0 900, alleged
to have been fraudulently paid by
the executors to the church. The
seven mutionous heirs, plaintiffs in
the suit, received $4,000 and their

entered confirming the acts of the
executors in turning over to the

PREBLE COUNTY

The result of the election in Pre-
Bile County on Tuesday last, was un
usually disastrous to Democratic
candidates, not q single one being
elected! The majorities against
them run from 200 as high up as 937,
which is the majority Sinks receives
over Edison. The majority against
Deem for Treasurer, is 264, and the
ether candidates about the same.
We viii give The official vote in our
next issue. The vote was the larg.
est ever cast in the County. We
have no desire at present to animad-
vert upon the causes which lead to
the defeat of our entire ticket, but
are satisfied money was used with
out stint. That was one of them
sure, Notwithstanding the stringency
of the Seitz Law. The Democrats

GRANT AND BOSS SHEPHERD.

Boss Shepherd telegraphed all the
way from Santa Fe to Washington
that he was hurryipg on to San
Francisco to join in the reception to
Grant. He had gone to Mexico with
other spectators in the hope of re-
yiving an old mine, alleged to be
rich and to have been im~perfectly
worked by the original owners. AS
a favored member of the Grant guard
and head of the Washington ring,
he naturally thought his place was
by the side of the third term candi-
date who, in the event of success,
would restore the former order of
things and claim that it was vindi-
Gated by the popular vote. The
Washington ring owned its power
and its assumption of arbitrary au-
thority more to the protection of
Grant than to all other causes com
bined. Without his direct influence,
exerted in defiance of public opinion,
Garfield and d corrupt combination
in Congress would never have ven
tured to appropriate the millions
which was voted away for the benefit
ofthis organized band of plunderers.
they interested Grant in property;
improved it in value at the public
expense; voted him speculative
stocks; catered to his appetites, and
captured him for all their purposes.
At the very hour of his departure
for Europe, more than two years ago,
Grants last telegram was addressed
to Babcock and Shepherd, the men
of all others who had personally
most contributed to the disgrace OF
his administration, and whom he
upheld in the face of the country,
and that with the evidence in his
own possession of their guilt and
venality. Now that the boss has
come to grief, like many of the
Tweed ring, who squandered theil
spoils in riotous living and wild ex
travagance, he seeks a restoration Of
Grantism, as offering the best chance
to repair his broken fortunes. There
are thousands like him, who -four.

The depth of the water in the
gorge below Niagra Falls has just
been measured for the first time.
The swiftness of the stream had baf-
fled all previous efforts, but a corps
of goYernment engineers accomplish
ed the feat. They embarked in a
small boat not far below the falls.
An old guide accompanied the party.
With great difficulty they approach
ed within O short distance of the
American falls, which darted great
Ijets of water on them. The roar was
so terrible that no voice or sound
could be heard. The lcadsman cast
the line, which rapidly passed down
eighty-three feet. This was near the
shore. Passing out of the friendly
eddy which had enabled them to get
so near the falls, they shot rapidly
down the stream. The next cast OF
the lead told off 100 feet, deepening
to 1872 feet a little further down. The
average depth to the swift drift
where the river suddenly becomes
narrow, with q velocity too great to
be measured-is $50 feet. just un-
der the lower bridge the whirlpool
rapids set in, and so violently are
the waters mored that they rise like
ocean waves to the heighth of &c
feet. AT this point they computed
the depth at 90 feet.

This will be a great year in the
history of the country for pension
payments, about two thirds of the
appropriation of $25,oOo,ooo made
at the last session of Congress for
arrears having already been distrib-

gregating some $so,oOo,oo besides.

about two millions of dollars annu

STATE RIGHTS.

The new prominence which the
question of the State rights has risen
to, inour politics, has brought be
fore the sapreme Court several SUITS
involving it in one form OF anoth-
err. One ofthase comes from Virgin
ia and grows out of the action of
Judge Rives Of the United States
Court in taking from Jail a oolored
prisoner tried and convicted in a
State Court for felony. The prison.
er appealed to the United States
Court for relief, on the ground that
he had not received q fair trial by
his peers, because there was not a
colored man on the jury that conric-
ted him., Judge Riyes took the view
that the case came nnderr the pro-
visions of d federal law, and ordered
the United States Marshal to take
the prisoner out Of the custody of
the Sheriff, and hold him for a new
trial before the United States Court.
The State of Virginia resents this
as an infringement upon its right to
deal with offenders under its own
laws, and carries The case before the
U. S. Supreme Court for q decision.
A second and similar case is that OF
two Circuit Judges of Virginia who
have been indicted in the u. S.
Court for a violation of federal law
in refusing colored men to the right
of sitting on juries; and a third one
comes from West Virginia andtin-
wolves the recent act of the Legisla-
ture excluding colored men from jul
ries. From Tennessee comes the
case of a federal revenue officer who,
for killing a man in the alleged dis
charge of his duty, was indicted in
the State Court, and his trial remoY,
ed to the United States Court. The
State questions the constitutionality
of the law under which the removal
was made. There are two cases.
one from Ohio, the other from Mary
land-involving the constitutional
ty of the Congressional election law
which was the subject of go much
dispute between Congress and The
Executive at the late session.
All these cases before the Supreme
Court for adjucation present in ont
form or another the dispute between
the Federal Government and thu
States about their respective author
ity, particularly. whethef the Fedora
Courts have a right to interfere witt
a States criminal laws for the pro
lection of coloyed persons and Fed
eral officials charged with offence
under those laws. The decisions 0
the Supreme tribunal in the seyera
suits will be awaited with no littl
curiosity. They will be given at tn
October term. -. 4,hi

"BUT NOT GOHQUEREDP

At this writing the Republicans
are iubilant and Democrats despon-
dent over the result of last Tuesday.
We confess il is not quite as we ex.
rpeeted, although we had our misgiv-
ings as we watched the herculean
efforts and means brought to bear
by the party in power. Money and
public patronage is in the hands of
our opponents, and no arguments
can combat them successfully, when
put into use as they were in the po-
litical fight in this State. From the
fraud who wears the stolen mantle
of the Presidency, down to the low
est mental under him, all were vom-
tied in upon US and made to do some
kind of politician seryitude to preju-
dice an honest people against o
change of rule in our government.
But be it SO. 1t is the win Of a ma
jority of the people, and we have nc
desire that any eight by seven com
mission should step in and change
it, simply to crafty party pride. Il
may be that before another year rolls
over US. the "sober second thought
of the honest masses will hasten tt
correct their fatal mistake, in giving
a longer lease of power to the party
that has SO outrageously and cor
ruptly abused it. If not, w may as
well make up our minds that oul
liberties as a free people r gone
into the hands of q Money oIgar
chy.
From present indications the Re
publicaBs have carried the State by
a majority ranging from 10000 t.
10000, and no doubt both branches
of the Legislature.

1t is amazing what an amount Of
old silver there is now in circulation.
1t was hid away in old stockings,
cracked teapots, in chinks in the
wall and other hiding places, and
eve IA the light for years; but
no sooner did the government begin
to issue and pay out silver, than il
began to creep into circulation, and
now old halves, quarters, dimes, half.
dimes, and even three cent pieces
are becoming a nuisance to dealers
and business men.

The United States Consul at Birm-

ed States have come to better times,
in England the distress is even
greater than before. Miners are
working at wages affording only
bread and water for sustenance.
Farmers cannot pay their rents,
which have been greatly reduced,
and the landlords are serving notices
o their tenants to quit. Emigra-
ton is held to be the only permanent
relief.

1t is said that 100000 bushels
of oysters will be taken from Virgin
ia waters this year, and more than
one-third of these will be handled
by the packers of Norfolk and Ports

There was a partial failure of most
kinds of fruit in the West this year,
peaches being very scarce, and the
finer varieties of cherries and plums
not much more plenty. But the
great queen of fruits, the apple, did
not suffer so much, and there seems
to be a fair crop in nearly all sec
tions. This is the more important,
because Of the failure of peaches,
which when dried form q very i'm
portant article of consumption dur
ing the winter and spring months,
and dried apples will therefore meet
an increased demand during the
coming season Some parts of Mis-
souri, and Iowa are reported to have
good crops of winter apples, and in
most of the Western States there is
a good yield in certain localities, but
not everywhere. The supply of Au-
tumn apples from which most of the
dried apples are made seems to have
been a very full one. In Ohio there
is a supply of winter apples in some
sections, and Western New York is
reported to have q fine crop. Mich
igan will scarcely come up to the
average. New England and the mid
die States have less than last year,
but that was an exceptionally full
yield.
