A LITTLE OFF.

The Brunswick (Ga.) Seaport APP
peal is somewhat excited over the
result of the Presidential election,
and goes off the handle as follows:
"The Solid South will now learn
to ignore the monOpolizing Copper
head Democracy of the North. They
gulled us into secession; they specu-
lated upon our blood and miSfor-
tunes through the war between the
States, and for fifteen years they
have lied to us, deceived us and sold
us to the Republicans. The New
York Democracy, controlled by the
scoundrels, Belmont, Hewett ~ Co.,
are too corrupt even to merit eternal
damnation."
The editor winds up by recon-
mending that the 1873 votes of the
South be cast for Garfield and Ar
thur. We would suggest to him that
his zeal is greater than his discre-
ton. We have no doubt he is a little
mad just now, but if he will take
cold bath and put on liver pad, he
will think better Of it after while,
and try to meet and discuss grave
questions with the dignity their i'm
portance deserves. The application
of the term "scoundrel" to such men
as Hewett and Belmont, has no force
in it whatever, except to belittle the
party applying it.

Late Washington Scandal.

On Saturday last Mr.. VIM. Buck
ley, a respectable citizen residing in
Central Washington, informed his
wife, pretty blonde on the sunny
side of 80, that business would call
him out of town for a few days. In
stead of leaving the city, as she sup
posed he had done, he Secreted him
self in the parlor during the evening,
his wife being absent, and awaited
developments. His wife returned
about 11.30 7. NJ, accompanied by a
government clerk named Geo. w.
Black, whom Mr.. Buckley had suS-
pected of improper intimacy with
Mrs. Buckley. His worst fears were
soon confirmed, and darting from
his hiding-place he fell upon Black,
when fight ensued, the erring wife
taking a hand in and doing all in her
power to aid her paramour. The
police arrested Black and Buckley
preferred simple charge of assault
and battery against him. The case,
which had been on trial in the Police
Court several days, closed Wednes-
day. Judge Smell in rendering his
decision reviewed the evidence and
remarked that Mr.. Buckley had GER
tainly exercised as much forbearance
as most husbands would. If he be-
lieved this evidence, the husband had
certainly the right to seize the man
as he would have seized a burglar-a
man robbing him of what is more
dear than life-and deliver him to
the hands of the officers. He regret
ted that there was but Slight fine
for the crime of adultery. He then
sentenced Black to six months in
jail. The crowd Immediately broke
out in applause. Counsel for defen-
dant noted an appeal. Mrs. Buckley
] did not appear in court.

SUGAR MAKING.

There is Il sugar mil AT crystal Lake, NC
Henry county, IN this state, which lsst ycar
made As 900 lbs. of sugar from the amber cane
raised by farmers in that vicinity, the sugar
being equal to the best Louisiana raw sugar
and selling readily in Chicago at 10 cts, per
pound The cost OF the mill at Crystal
Lake, including ground and all the needed ma
chlnery with a capacity to make $50, 600 lbs. OF
sugar IN n season, was about 5000. Its own
crs claim to have cleared over 10 per cent. on
the investment the first year by making but
A., 900 lbs Of sugar, and next season expect
the farmers in the neighborhood TO supply
them with cane enough 10 run the mill to lis
full capacity, when they feel quite confident
of making some money"
Now every one who knows anything abou,
it will admit that for raising the amber cane
the soil aud climate Of La Sale county are vast
y superior to those Of Lake county. The con.
ditions most favorable to raising the amber
cane are exactly those most favorable for corn,
and La Sale county is in the very heart OF the
best corn producing belt in the country. The
suggestion then, that naturally presents itself
is, why not erect an amber sugar cane mill
at Ottawa? Scientific tests, under direction OF
the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, have
shown that the amber cane is richer in sascha-
rine matter than the Louisiana cane, and that
sugar can be manufactured from il al less eN
pcnse and at a greater profit III Illinois than
it can be made from the southern cane in Lou
isiana. Then why not raise our own cane and
have a mill and Observation-Disclosures at Ottawa
isn't imagined that our farmers won't raise the
cane? Estimates of the Agricultural Bureau AT
Washington show that the product from an
acre of amber cane is worth 500 of which half
should go to the farmer that raises it. DO our
farmers ever get $40 from an acre Of wheat,
rye, corn or oats They are quite content
to get half that amount. Give them market
for amber cane AT Ottawa that will pay them
$500 an acre for raising il, and We guar
antec the market will soon b. abundantly
supplied.
The subject is one which commcnds itself to
the attention of our Business Mems Associa-
ton. we suggest, NJ least, lhat tney commu.
ncatc with Mr.. A. J. Russell, superintendent
of the Crystal Lake sugar works, on the sub,
lect Mr. X. ~ understood to take such an in.
tcrest in the matter that he is quite ready to
impart all the information in his pos.
session and would be glad to see sugar works
erected all over the state. "A this country at
present imports thousand millions ofpounds
of sugar annually from the West Indies, the
manufacture of a hundred million pounds in
Illinois would be but a drop IN the bucket, so
that there Is no such thing as OVERRIDING the
business. We notice that Mr.. Russell recently
visited Aurora on the invitation of her bust.

FELLOW CITIZENS: 1t is believed by many citi-
Zens that 4 free water course should, without

largest river steamers from the Mississippi River

ing the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and i'm
proving the Illinois River, in effect making a
ship canal from the river to the lake along the
course of the present canal and the Illinois river.
II is believed this work should be done by the
national government.
To inaugurate a movement that will give vi.
tality to this belief and consummate the desired
result is, IS understand, the purpose OF this
meeting.

the reasons for the belief entertained by US, and
