just as the gallant soldier, McCrary,
is about to step out of the war office if
the brigadiers of the senate will enfold
him in the ermine, the librarian of the
department of gunpowder-L. D. In
gersoll-issues from the press an inter-
esting history thereof from the days of
Henry Knox down to those of the great
Hawkeye statesman. There have been
some notable men at the head of the
department. Probable no more
thorough organizer than John q. Cal
houn ever filled the office. Belknap
disgraced it. Simon Cameron ratified
around in 1t. jeff Davis plotted trea-
son while at its head. Grant and Raw
Inns both occupied it. Its history is in
part the history of the country, but
couldn't Ingersoll's work be postponed
until it is ascertained who's to be the
coming man?--!Chicago Times.

CARTooNIsTs are often prophets.
We find a cartoon in Frank Leslie,
Illustrated Newspaper Of August 18th
'7s, on Charles Foster, the republican
candidate for governor of Ohio. Mr..
F. is represented to be sitting IN the
dividing line Of the Seventh and Eighth
congressional districts, and declining
the regular republican nominations in
in both districts. A card held in his
hands reads: 81 would rather be q
governor than move up street to secure
a seat in congress"

1t is satisfactory to note the fact
that the convention is thoroughly
American in its aspirations and repub-
lican in its sentiments. 1t leaves no
loom to doubt its loyalty to the union.
Secessionists have no foothold upon any
plank of its platform. This fact will
go far toward conciliating eastern sem
timent, and will make friends among
thoughtful men of the old parties.-

FASHION NOTES.

The ''~renaissanee" hose are novel
ties.
The nayy-blue bunting has lost favor.
New lambrequins are made of the
striped momie cloth.
White flannel kits are considered
very dressy.
The ''Vienna" trimmed straw hats
are unique and pretty.
The Richelieu striped those are still
in favor for ladies and children.
Wraps for the summer are made of
India cashmere in the natural color.
Some of the imported dresses are en-
tirely without iounces or trimmings.
Skirts with three wide-pleated
flounces, in the back are very fashion,
able.
The sailor blouse is now most often
made quito high and close at the throat.
Sashes are suddenly revived in rich
brocaded ribbon, satin and watered rib
bon.
Ecru and plum color are favorable
combinations for street and evening
costumes.
A brown brocaded sash is very hand
some on the tan and cream colored
wool costumes.
The kilt skirt is now made quite
short, and is most stylish when made
in large pleats.
Short basques are again revived on
account Of the panier drapery Of the
overskirt.
The most fashionable gold bracelets
are very narrow, and have a locket at
tached as a pendant.
French cut steel is used for u
menting hats and bonnets for pipings
and ornaments.
Black velvet bracelets are revived.
They will be ornamented with gilt
buckles, not with brilliants.
"Glace Marguerite" is a new silk-and-
wool material for costumes; it is very
soft and fine in texture.
The fashionable cambrics are being
extensively made up into summer CO.'S
tunes for half-grown girls.
The Carmen and "Clarisssa Har-
lowe" bonnets dispute with the fayorite
"D%irectoire" for precedence.
The newest fchus are of crepe de
chine, handsomely embroidered in
colors, and ornamented with fringe.
1t is proposed to hold an exhibition
in London for the display of every kind
of art work done by women.
Sleeveless jackets of corduroy or other
stout material, for outdoor wear, are
madeup en- suite with costumes.
The "Directoire'' bonnet is the prevail
ing shape at present, but smaller ones
will be worn as the season advances.

A Beautiful sight.

1t is beautiful sight, says an ex.
change, that of man who eight years
ago possessed comfortable property,
was indeed regarded as among the
well.to-do and solid men of the town,
now dressed in threadbare and moth
eaten clothes, wearing slouched hat
shoes run over on the side like the
colored hod-carriers, standing about
the polls all day distributing tickets
and electioneering for the Republican
party-a party but for whose policy
this same man instead of himself and
family being now in destitute cordi-
ton, would be in comfortable circum-
stances and in the enjoyment of q
happy home. Such sights were wit
messed at the late election not more
than a Sabbath days journey from
where we write, and we doubt not
were common all over Ohio. But we
confess we are rather sticklers tor po-
litical principle, only we never could
see why men should be willing to vote
away their birthright that somebody
else might be profited. 1t is tree
country, however, and all should be
allowed to vote just as you please, no
one molesting or making afraid.

THE New York papers charge that
the inspectors of election in that city
were guilty of manipulating the bal
lots on the night of the election. The
returns from the city districts were
withheld till long after midnight, when
reports were received from the inter-
ior of the State and the city returns
doctored so as to give Cornell cellar
plurality of the entire vote. There
seems to be abundant evidence to
prove the charge, and the guilty par
ties will no doubt be prosecuted. The
Republican and Kelly inspectors, com
prising majority Of each board, work
ed together for the purpose. 1t is
more than probable that if the truth
was known Robinson would be found
to have received q plurality of the
votes cast in the State.

lar.
Washington dispatches for several
days have announced that Secretary
Sherman is to begin an active war on
the standard silver dollar by recon-
mending in his annual report that its
coinage be discontinued. The ground
he will take in advocating this is that
the Treasury vaults are being glutted
with silver dollars that cannot be fore
ed into circulation, and that the Treas
ury is being subject to q heavy drain
by the locking up of two and half
million dollars per month in this use-
less money" This is all in the inter-
est of the bondholders and capitalists.
Would it not haYe been a better poll
cy to have used this accumulation of
silver in paying off the interest-bear-
ing debt which is made payable In
coin and thus relieved the people of
the burden that is crushing them by
stopping interest and putting in circu-
lation a large sum of money to aid
business2 But these goldbugs are
awful anxious to get the finance ques-
ton out of politics, especially after
they shall have got everything fixed

The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
(Republican) regards "the people who

retiring the circulating medium which
is preferred by the public"

And right here again: If the peo-
pie are the gamers by keeping the
greenbacks in circulation instead of
issuing Understanding bonds with
which to redeem them, would they
not be benefited in the same degree
by issuing greenbacks with which to
supply the place of National Bank
notes, and thus save the interest
on the bonds held by the Secretary of
the Treasury to secure the redemption
of the bank issues2 That is also .

More Political Figuring.

We published few weeks ago an
article from the st. Paul Globe, show
ing the calculations of that paper on
the Presidential contest in 1880. A
later number of the paper contains ad-
ditional figuring upon the subject, but
with about the same result. The Globe
says:
"In that table the vote of New Y ork
was placed in the Democratic column,
and the footings gave to that certain
vote of two hundred and three electors
against q possible one hundred and
sixty-six for the Republicans. The re-
suit OF Tuesdays elections yindicate
our judgment fully, and establishes
the fact that the election of q Demo-
cratic President in 1880 is not only q
probability but a certainty.
Whatever doubt as to the political
status of New York may have existed
before has now disappeared. The
people of that State have placed them
selves on record as firmly devoted to
the cause OF the Democratic party. In
spite of the most determined opposi-
tion, the candidacy of Kelly no doubt
acting as a serious hindrance to the
success of the party, the candidate for
lieutenant governor and probably all
the rest Of the ticket save governor,
are elected. This establishes the fact
most positively that New York can
be safely relied upon to cast her elec-
toral vote for the candidate of the
Democratic party, whoever he may be,
and this will ensure his election be-
yond peradventure. That our read
ers may judge for themselves as to
whether our predictions are we'll based
or not we reproduce the electoral table
published by us just subsequent to
the Ohio election:

PALMYRA.

SoAI oAICSpOuuCuCC.
The first entertainment given by the
Literary Society took place last Friday
evening, the 14th inst. The perform
ances were not as good as was expected,
probably on account of its being the
first night, and some not being aware
that they were appointed to take part.
The debate, however, was very good.
The question was "Should we read
novels ?" Messrs. J. N. Mccall and E..
v. Lewis, affirmed the question and
Messrs. G. A. and l.. w. Gilbert took
the negative. The arguments brought
forth on both sides were very good but
the judges and the audience seemed to
be in sympathy with the affirmative,
and that side carried by an oYerwhelm-
ing majority.
Messrs. Powell, Filler and Williams
were among the Chicago excursionists
last week. Mr.. Williams went on to
Minnesota and expects to stay there
the coming winter. Messrs Powell
and Filler returned last night and re-
port having had a very pleasant trip.
Bills are out announcing that Robert
G. Ingersoll is to deliver a lecture in
Alliance on Tuesday evening next.
We would advise some of our moral
Republicans to go and hear him. Per-
haps he might convince them that he
is on the right side of the religious
as we'll as the political question.
