The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when
she is giving her house its spring
cleaning, should bear in mind that
the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by pu-
rifying the blood, regulating the
stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring
malaria and miasma, and she should
know that there is nothing that will
do it so perfectly and surely as Hop

There seems, just now, 70 be a sur
feitof interviewing Of politicians
going on in some ofthe Wheeling pa
pers- A slet up is now in order.
The silliest thing Of this kind We
have met with is the one purporting
TO be an einterviewn with Henry s.
Walker, Of the Third District. The
whole thing was evidently gottenup
by The gentleman himself, intended
asa gratuitous puff for the .bigp
Greenbacker of the Third District
The greatest mystery about it, how.
ever, is how such articles find a place
in the Democratic organ Of 1.-THE State.
--Pgnhandle Meas.
There is no mystery about it, at
all. The Wheeling Register has all
along leaned to H. s. Walker, the
sorehead and dissenter, in the hope
of running him into Congress or in
to the Senate. 1t supports him, for
the good he might do the Wheeling
Register, ifthis District should be SO
unfortunate, as to allow him to be
elected to Congress. The Register
never was very great stickler for
principles, it's rather for men, and
generally for the one that can do ii
the most good, and furnish it the
most public pap.

"Acain Reminded

One Henry S. Walker, is reminded
that his threats will not deter us
from the discharge of our duty. If
he has any great scandal to mention
about the editor of this paper, we beg
him not to conceal it, for the people
should know what kind of man is
publishing paper in their midst
When Mr.. Walker intimates that we
have madepersonalattac ksupon him,
he simply says that which is untrue.
He has been in the habit of soliciting
and encouraging from this county all
the dirty SANDERS and filth he could
get his tools to pen, rejecting upon
the editor of this paper, and citizens
of this county, and publishing them
in his paper. Against his attacks,
and those of his correspondents we
have defended ourself and our people,
rs best we could, without using any
personalities whatever. The secret
Of Mr.. Walkers venomis not because
of anything the Register has said of
him, but because it has frustrated
and retarded the organization Of
"Greenback Leagues" in Mason Coun-
ty, by showing up the ultimate in
tentions of the party, if it once got a
hold upon the county, State and Ma
ton.

The Government, says the Balti-
more Sla, in the most prompt and
commendable way has issued from
the War Department and forwarded
TO Memphis 1900 tents, together
with rations for 10000 persons for
twenty days. This meets the actual
case, with efficient means The best
Judges have estimated that; after all
who were able could get away from
the afflicted city, there would still
remain 10000 persnns, of all ages and
sexes, utterly incapable Of relieving
their necessities If they remain, as
they must. 1t is for this absolute
remnant, after all other immediate
resources have been exhausted, which
the Government provides; not only
the means Of subsistence, but the
means of such a change Of air and
tent-life as we'll be best calculated to
prevent the disease from spreading
amongst them. This relief is not
excessive, but it is a enough. tits
exactly so much and no more as the
distressed people of that city have
asked for. IL will still be the duty
Of the charitable in more favored
neighborhoods, if the disease should
spread, to provide something for the
comfort Of the sick, with clothing
for those who recover. But, in the
main, this relief comes just at the
time that it should, and supplies all
the great needs. Without it Mem
phis would be helpless indeed. The
appeal Of last Saturday contains an
article whichis pathetic in the ex-
trenie. All the leading people have
fled. Those who are not provided
for are simply those who are so poor
and wretched they have none to
think for them. The city goveren-
ment is powerless and helpless. 1t
has no money, no authority tolevy
taxes, no power to collect taxes, if
levied. The county government is
equally incapable, reluctance added
besides to incapacity, and the State
will do nothing. The sole depend
ence ofthe people is, in the immedi-
ate emergency at least, upon the
federal government.-lndependent.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Ex.cn-
sion.

From a circular issued be the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railway Company,
it is learned that one condition of the
contract for the completion of the
Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big
Sandy extension, (Which would give
the Chesapeake and Ohio road an all
rail connection with the Western
cities, is that subscriptions shall be
obtained for Si,200,000, of the first
mortgage 6 per cent. bonds of the
company before the commencement
of the work. Some complications
had grown up between the counties
along the line of the road holding
stock of the company and its Eastern
stockholders, which were satisfactor-
lily arranged by an agreement that
at least 100000 should be expended
npon the road before any ofthe bonds
of the company should be issued. -
The parties contracting to build the
road are prepared to make the re-
CURED expenditure in advance of the
issue of the bonds, and to furnish the
additional means necessary for its
completion ready for thu running Of
trains, provided the s1,2o0,000 Of
bonds are subscribed for and upon.

be complied, with. This extensisA

Washington special, is less than at
aay time since their issue, and has
been reduced to s20,o00,000. This

that the Treasury declines to pay

The bonded public debt was stated
on January 1, 1876, to be 81 ,702, 000,-
$50. On May 81, 1879, it was stated
to be Sl,967414,760. On June 80, it
was stated to be $2,027, 207 ,256 and
we observe the Republican organs of
recent date say it is 81, 996,4l4, 256.
According to these figures the debt
has been increased about $500, 000,-
600 since 1876. 1t is no wonder that
General Spinner declard that when
he was in the office of Treasurer the
public debt statements "never agreed
with his books" and that ''he was

The Editor Of the Greenback League
is trimming his sails as the Green
back candidate for Congress in 1880.
Beforethat time all the earnest por-
tion Of that element will be absorb
ed by the democratic party, and the
dishonest and fundamentally radical
portion will be in..the embrace of
Zachanah, Chandler. Those who
have heretofore favorably known
brother Walker, believe that he will
rehabilitate himself in Democratic
garments, but some cynical acquaint-
ances swear that he will march to the
jingle of radical chink. His paper
is principally devoted to portaying
the mental beauties that irradiate
the History of its chief and unfairly
presenting the record and action Of
the Hon. John L. Kcnna, while too
great praise cannot be awarded this
gentleman for his public actions,
who deservedly ranks high amongst
his democratic associates in Con-
gress. An additional need of praise
is due him by reason of the hostility
of Walker, all of whose gorgeous
but evanescent, forces are just now
exhausted in efforts to destroy the
fountain from which he drew more
than liberal rations.-Free Press.

be the strongest ticket ever nomina-

Convention did good thing in nom
mating Maj. A. F. McCown for Rep.

most popular Democrat on the ticket,
and we hope the good people of NIeigs
will elect him.

We are inclined to agree with Mr..
Hugh McCulloch in his prediction Of
"a career Of unexampled prosperity"
for this country, latter the next Pres.
idential election That event Will
put the government in the hands of
the party from which it has been
kept since March 4, 1877, by the
fraudulent reversal of the election of
1876. We have seen the National
credit grow stronger and better in.

weaker. We have seen the conf
dence Of capitalists and business men.
generally, increasing as the assur.
ance ofcomplete Democratic domina-
ton has become more andS1iore pos
tive. There is good reason, there.
fore, to look for the happy change
which Mr.. McCulloch predicts when
the party of fraud, corruption, ex-
trayagance and speculation marches
out, and the Democracy take possess
ion of the government. A Democrat
ic House greatly improved the Ma
tional credit. " was still further
when the Democracy took
entire control Of the legislative de-
partment. Doubtless it will boom
exultingly, as McCulloch prophesies
when the Radical incubus is utter
