That COMPROMISE.

We have never seen more intense in
dignation than is manifested in this COM
munity at the bare in,imalion Of a pos
sibility of conceding such terms Of nm
ion as General Malone is supposed 20
demand. And many country Conscrya-
tives have called upon us to say that they
will, not only nOn-cOncur in such action,
but refuse TO vote for the ticket. Some
have gone so far az TO say that they
would even vote for the Garfield Flee
tors in prcferencc.-LyR FirGiHidn.
Exactly. We have heard in numcr-
Gus quarters that "many" Of the reg
ulars" would sooner see Garfield elected
than Hancock elected through the July
electors. Only yesterday at MENDOZA,
in this county, we saw a man who told
us the effort Of the May ticket men there
was TO get the Republicans of that neigh
borhoOd 10 vote for GARFIELD.
Now for us Bro. Button, we say plain
ly, we don't want Garfield at all. He
was one of the 8 who beat Z. If we
can't elect Hancock, we should be glad
to see you do so, but we have no conf
dence in your ability to do so. Your
policy and your tactics are not likely to
succeed, and do you note this--that the
July ticket will give Virginia to the
Hancock column.

Bro. WEBER in the last issue Of his
paper announces the neutrality Of the
REGISTER for the remainder of the cam
paign, as he and his co-editor cannot
agree. Personally, lie will not vote for
Col. Fulkcrson, but he acknowledges
Col. Fukcrson will be elected all the
same. Bro. Weber has always treated
us with the utmost respect, even when
he differed with us as to the policy of
the party, and we announce that he
shall have the same kindly consideration
at our hands. There are one or two
points in his card "to the pubic' that
we desire 10 notice briefly. He SAYS the
case Of Montgomery was referred to the
Committee on credentials, thus depriv-
Ing that county Of representation on the
committees. Very true, but that was
done on motion Of one of Capt Bair's
leading friends, Col. j. b. Peck, Of
Giles. Moreover, In the committee on
organization, Maj. Wood, for permanent
chairman, had by the sealed vote of the
committee, 81 votes, n majority Of the
WHOLE committee. SO that 1t did not
matter In the least, as TO the absence, or
the silence Of Montgomery, If Mont
gomery had then and there voted, the
opposition TO Mai. Wood could only have
been 80. Bro. Webbcr states that the
one and half votes from Montgomery
gave Fulkerson the nomination. In this
we beg leave 10 state, that Fulkcison
would have been nominated with 33I5
votes without particle Of support from
that county. The vote would have been
close, hut Fulkcrson would have been
nominated by half vote.
As to the appointment" Of Nal.
WooD ms temporary chairman by Mr.
BAILEY, that was law, and Bro. WEBER
and we knew before, as well AZ we now
know Gter the convention that the
chairman Of The Dist. committee would
designate, or appoint, the temporary
chairman. Again, In no one instance
did Maj. Woop rule against the BLAIR
men, but twice Ns permanent chairman
he did rule against the FuLKERsoN mon.
We respectfully but emphatlcally de-
clare that these three points, which Nrc
the tripod on which Bro. WEBnER rests
his objections, are not valid,

THE Il. 4 o. RED BooK-ITs VALUE As A
TEXTBOOK FOR POLITICAL REFER
ANCE AND ITS EXCEEDING BEAU
TY As A TYPoGRAPHICAL
WORK or ART.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The Baltimore & Ohio, since Lord as
sumed sway of the passenger department.,
has most emphatically come to the front
in taking, and at the same time elegant,
advertising matter. Recognizing the
elevation Of taste in matters Of an adver-
Using character, and the demand rs well
for something of more value than the
mere setting forth Of the advantages Of
the road, the B. & o. has just issued
what it terms the cred Book" 1t is
beyond all comparison the clcverest
thing Of the kind ever issued by a rail
road company, and not only this, but as
specimen Of typographical art it is a
perfect gem. The cover, designed and
engraved by the American Bank Note
Company, and the book itself, from the
press Of Knight & Leonard, of this city,
very many persons will keep it for its
beauty alone. But while the artistic has
been the aim in the external appearance,
the contents of the little work will be
found of the utmost value from now UNI
til the close Of the present political struG-
gle. Without pretentions, and simply
setting forth facts, the +. & o. Red Book
is beyond all comparison the handicst
and most compact political textbook of
the campaign. Compiled, results reach
ed and arranged by an old journalist of
many years experience in political sta
tistics, the States are so placed, and the
detail so carefully attended to, that at a
glance one comprehends the situation in
each State. Fist the vote of each party
for President in 1876 IL given, with the
toal vote Of the State, the maj rity and
the electoral vote. Next comes the de-
tails Of the latest election for State Off
ccs, followed by the political complex
ion Of the legislature, with the fact not
ed that n United States Senator Is TO be
elected this winter, If such be the case.
Then comes the result IN each congress
sional district, with foot-notes 50 clear
and concise that the situation in the diff
fcrent districts Is at once apparent. III
nally, the population Of the State in 1870
Is noted, followed by the vote for Presi-
dent IN 1872, with the ratio Of votes that
year to the population Of two years be-
fore. This is made the basis Of calcu-
laliOn of the total vote of each State this
year, the figures given Of the population
/ 1850, being from the latest obtainable In
formation from the Census Bureau. As
these statistics cover every State in the
Union, and the book so iudeXcd as ia
permit of instant reference, the great
value Of the little work mag readily be
appreciated. 1t Is not on sale, nor viii
he distributed without regard to use.

his theory touching the cause of Rheu-
matism are correct. Whether fasting he
the true remedy is a suggestion we ex-
press no opinion Gu. We do, however,
believe 1t TO result from acid blood pois-
oning. Here is what he said: east
ing is eminently the specific for curing
dyspepsia and rheumatism, both acute
and chronic. Rheumatism comes Of
blood-poisoning. The blood becomes
acid through n arrangement Of the di-
gcstive organs. and all food taken into
the stomach intensifes the acidity Of the
blood. Ten days Of fasting may elimi-
nate the poison from the body.

Christmas In Norway.

In the mountain districts the day is
kept with hearty hospitality. All work
is suspended for thirteen days. The en-
trance of every house is decorated, and
the walls of the kitchen are roughly
adorned with gaudy pictures, fantastic
ally painted in water colors. Through
out Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
the merry making is entirely domestic,
restricted to the members of each house
hold. Not even friendly visit is paid.
On the following days the neighbors as
semble at each others houses by turns,
for carousing. No regular meal is pro-
vided, but open house is kept, the tables
richly spread for all comers No stran-
ger is permitted to leave the house until
he has partaken of the strong Yule ale,
which is served up in true Norwegian
fashion, cask following cask in rapid sue
cession. On these occasions the servants
sit at the same table with the host, his
wife and family. ALI are dressed in their
gala attire of rich colored cloth, trimmed
with gold and silver braid, the women
wearing caps and aprons of brilliant
hues.
