We copy the following from the Springfield
register not because it goes for our well
meaning grccnback friends, but because it
treats pretty fully Of the usage Of the Truck
Bill" at the hands Of prominent republican
candidates
The dislntcrestcd Cullom vetoed the truck
bill because, as he boldly asserts, he loves the
workmcn of the state, and didn't want them
injured by such legislation. They wanted the
hli to become law, but he says he knew they
didn't know what they wanted. He knew that
the interests Of the wOrkingmcn of the state
demanded the veto Of the bill, because nearly
all the truck store men were opposed to the
measure Hamilton, the republican candidate
for licutcnantg governor, voted against the bill
in the senate, because he didn't understand it,
and his friends sold and did not buy truck
Mr.. Dement,, republican candidate for secre-
tary OF state, voted against the bill in the sen.
ate, because he was more interested in truck
sellers than in truck buyers, and because he
was opposed to such legislation in the interest
of workIngmcn. Honest Tom Butterworth,
democratic candidate. for state treasurer, HIM.
self the employer of many men, voted for the
bill IN the house because, rs he expressed it in
his homely way, he didn't like to be paid In
old country. The Register submits these facts
to candid workingmen, with the additional
statement of "a plain fact that the republican
party, at the instgatiod of Culom, Hamilton
and Dement,, are now using money to lead the
workmen who will not vote for the anti-truck
bill ticket into the little parlor of Streeter's
third party-a little parlor the way into which
is up winding stair of greenbackism, social
ism, soreheadism and general cussedness, This
Streeter party is a tender to the republican
party, and is kept alive by money from the
barrel of the republican committee If Street
er's republican decoy duck OF party was out
of the way, the Trumbull ticket woald be elect
ed by $4,000 majority. Streeter's managers
know this, and so do the Cullom managers.
And therefore Streeters managers will earn an
honest penny by making Cullom's managers
pay 1t for the service they are doing him. But
how many honest worKmen and industrious
farmers can be caught in this third party trap
set by the republican managers? That is the

CAN'T BEAT HANCOCK.

The Courier-JOWrHdt shows that the fates
are in his favor and that Hancock can't be
beaten, in this wise:
Winfield Scott Hancock will I've the next
President of the United States. 1t Is written
in the book of fate, and there can be no cleo
toral tribunal to revise the returns. Hancock
was born both handsome and lucky. He Is a
man of destiny. Why, Just look "a. the record.
In 1868 Garfield brought bill into Congress
to drop the junior major general. That was
Hancock 1t passed both houses of Congress
and was signed by the President. But before
it could be carried into effect George II. Thorn.
as, the senior ma or- general, died and Hancock,
going up one grade, was no longer the Junior
major general, and so the law could not reach
HIM. Then the republicans, still led by Gar
field, passed an act reducing the majOr-gener-
ais to three This was signed by the presi
dent, but before it could be carried into effect
Meade died, and the major generals were then
reduced to three by God Almighty. Finally,
law was passed authorizing the president 10
drop one of the majors generals. Before ii could
be carried out and Hancock be dropped Hal.
leck died, and Hancock becoming the senior
major general, he could not be dropped. The
man who survived all these attempts TO retire
him can not be retired The man who led
hem-Gartield-will,a as a fitting consumma
ton of his act fall victim 10 his intended
victim Hancock will be elected president
Garfield will be rctired-at least from the
presidential field.

Three negroes were arrested in Vernon, Ala.
for grave robbng. The people, on examining
the graves, found that one IN which man had
been buried about thirty-ivc years had been
/ dug out to the bottom, and the dCCaycd bones
were naked with the dirt To the top, and some
of them were found out Of the grave. The ne
grucs said they did not take any OF them he
cause they were too much dcCaycd. The other
was that of a Mrs. Tom Poe, who had been bur
lcd about tvo years. The lett hand OF the
corpse had been pulled oil at the wrist, and
of at the shoulder, and was missing, and the
corpse was mangled ana turned about in the
coffin. The lid had been merely laid back and
the grave filled. The negroes said they had
taken away the hands, They all had bones
about their persons, which they said were from
Mrs. Pee, hands These bones are now IN
possession Of Sheriff Lacy, and are SAID not to
belong TO the same human hand. They said
they had sold some Of them II Is believed
that several other graves had been dug into
The graveyard where most Of The digging had
been done is AT or near Poplar Spring Church,
IA The southwest corner Of this county and all
the graves mplcStcd were the graves OF white
people.
The cause of this strange conduct, as related
by the negroes themselves, Is rs follows;

the while Then all join IN game of cards
on the grave, and all have acquired the

string them and wear them about the body,
and as they expressed it, I'VE have good luck"
They HEX dust Of human bones, and wet the
tips Of their fingers while they handle or play
cards, and have good luck" They rub the
cards against the bones about their body for
"luck" And they swallow the dust for good
luck" in any undertaking. Rumor has it that
they sand: "lf black man will take dose
of the dust Of white woman's bones he can
then charm any white woman and do as
he plcases with her" We do not youch
