HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE

Honor, first, to the Old Guard of Re-
pubicans, the veterans of many hard
| fight for nationality and human rights.
They were the nnwavering centre OF the
line of battle, and their steadiness, cour-
age, and devotion throughout the entire
struggle inspired the whole Republican
host with the zeal which made victory
| certain.
Honor to the young voters, whose pat
riotic instincts led them to choose the
right side, and who threw themselves into
the struggle with all the noble enthusi-
asm and generous ardor of youth.
Honor to the intelligent workingmen,
who were quick to see their duty to the
| party which has protected theii interests
| and who brought a large contingent of
sturdy voters to swell its ranks in the
States where the fight was closest.
Honor to the sagacious men of business
who laid aside for time their engrossing
occupations and labored to secure the
triumph of the party which has made
business profitable by giving the country
an honest currency and sound financial
conditions. The part they took in the
campaign was eminently creditable to
their patriotism and good Judgment.
Honor to the colored men, who no.
where failed in their allegiance to the
party whichlga rave them liberty and citizen
ship. They helped to make the result
decisive in the North, and would have
put three or four Southern States in the
Garfield column if they had been allowed
to cast free ballot in the South,
Honor to the Republicansleaders, who,
forgetting old jealousies and disappointed
ambitions, fought side by side generous
ly, bravely, and unselfshly to save the
country from the threatened calamity of
a reaction that aimed to install in power
the ideas and the men of the rebellion.
Honor first and last, to the uniailing
good sense of the American people, who
know when they are well off, and refuse
to turn out of the path of safety and pros
perity: who are not prejudiced by SLAM
ders or deceived by lies, and judge men
and parties fairly; who never go back to
thresh old stubble, but push straight on
to the accomplishment of their grand
destiny, not blinded by the dust of politi-
cal controversy, but seeing clearly the
principles at stake in every contest. The
result is new proof that popular govern
ment, in country where the masses are
educated, is wise and stable.-N. Y. 9'ri-

The democrats in Congress, after de-
laying important matters for week or
ten days, have abandoned their scheme
to count out Gen Garfield, for the time
being at least They were forced to this
by the determined opposition which the
Morgan count resolution met with at the
hands of the republicans, and a DISPOSE
ton among the more conservative men of
the democracy to place no obstacle in the
way of the harmonious Inauguration OF
Gen. Garfield. 1t is said that the matter
will be brought up again in January,
when it is believed that the full demo
cratic strength will be present. The dem
ocratic majority in Congress can be de
pended on for any acts of meanness,
and it is quite probable that every OBJ
struction possible will be thrown in the
way of opening and declaring the elector
al vote for Gen. Garfield between now
and next February.

In about a week the result of the total
census of the country will be officially
announced. Meantime, it is believe that
the population will nearly or quite reach
5O,OOO,0O0. 1t is now proposed that the
number of Representatives in Congress
shall be increased from 293, the present
number, to 800. This would give one

Iation.

TO RID A LOFT OF RATS

Take pint of common tar, half an
ounce of vitrol, and a good handful of
common salt; mix them all we'll together
in any old deep pan. Get some pieces of
paper, and put some of the above mixture
very thick on the paper, and place
enough of this into the holes sufficient to
stop them, and then let the bricklayer
make good after you, and if you should
find any of the holes opened again, it is
quite certain you had put not in sufficient
quantity. For smoking rats out when
they get behind the wainscott: Find
out small hole or crack, then take a
handful of common salt, and put it in at
the hole or crack, and pour upon the salt
a spoonful or two of oil of vitroI, and this
will make such a fumigation or smoke
that they cannot bear it. Then stop the
hole or crevice again that the smoke may
not come out. DO this in two or three
places as near where you hear they are as
you can, and it will cause them to forsake
those places This method is very safe,
as no damage can possibly ensue to the
wainscott from the smoke Vermin
