Mr.. JAMES REDPATH, who is to be in
dicted by the English Government for
his seditious speeches i'll Ireland, was
born at Berwick-on-Tweed in 1888, and
came to America with his parents in
1S4S. At the age of 10 he became con-
nected with the New York Tribune. He
was in Kansas from 1855 to 1857, and
took an active part in the free soil strug-
gle. During the civil war he helped to
organize the colOred schools in Charles
ton, S. c. Afterward he became inter
ested in the movement for Haytian in
dependence, and was one of the joint
commissioners sent by that Government
to Washington. In 1868 he went into
the lecture agency business. He con-
Siders the Irish race at this moment to
be struggling against OppreSsors, and
this is probably the reason why he first
went to Ireland as correspondent, and
afterward took an active part in the
agitation. He will have only himself
to blame if he is put into an English
prison.

STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEP I

STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEPT.
BY the favor of Almighty God our
people have emerged from the darkness
of financial and industrial stagnation
and discouragement into the sunshine of
unprecedented activity, prosperity and
happiness.
Within the bounds of our State no in
dustry is languishing, and in every de-
partment of human effort strong and
vigorous pulse denotes healthful cir
culation through al Of the arteries of
trade and commerce.
The same kind Providence has filled
the measure of blessings to our vast ag-
ricultural interests, and has restored
plenty, quiet and contentment among
the myriads Of laborers in our mines and
manufactures.
Because of these things. because of
the added proofs Of the wisdom and per-
petuity of our system of Government
founded upon the principles Of equality,
liberty and justice. because tho creator
has strengthened by new evidences of
His favor and goodness cur faith in the
enduring strength and greatness Of the
Nation; because in every heart is i'm
planted an impulse Of gratitude and
thankfulness to the Giver of all good.
Therefore l recommend that Thurs
day, the 25th day of November. 1880. he
set apart and dedicated to the duty and
pleasure of thanking God for His mercy
and kindness to this peOole.
Given under my hand. and the Great
Seal of the State of Ohio, at Columbus,

and eighty, and in the one hundred and
fifth year of the Independence Of the

COUNTING NEW YORK FOR
HANCOCK.
Democratic; Gospel.
BY the Governor.
MILTON BARNES, Sec'y of State.

n. Y. Sun, 9th inst.
We hear some talk about taking away
the electoral vote of New York from
Garfield, to whom it belongs, and giving
it to Hancock, to whom it does not be-
long.
The plan indicated so far as it is COM
prehensible at all, is for the expiring
Democratic Congress to order an inves-
tigation of New York's vote. The ma
terial is to be found in the alleged col
Onization of city districts by Republic
cans, and an alleged large vote in the
interior of the State by ballots not print
ed in the type prescribed by law. Then,
we suppose, the expiring Congress is to
throw out the alleged votes of the colo
nizers, also the alleged ballots not print
ed in proper form thus giving the State
and majority of the Electoral Colleges
to the defeated candidate.
If Congress wants to get at the true
cause of Democratic defeat in New
York State, it must investigate, not the
census of the city districts and the
printing presses of tine rural counties,
but John Kelly. Such an investigation
would be interesting, and no doubt in
instructive by its results. But it hap
pens that neither John Kelly himself
nor his schemes, ambitions, bargains,
hopes, and achievements as Boss of Tam
many Hall are within the purview of an
investigating committee of Congress.
Gen. Garfield is legally elected. When
the complete returns are in from all the
States it will probably be found that he
is a minority President-that is, that a
small majority of the voters of the Uni
ted States voted against him and for
Gen. Hancock. Garfeld's term of four
years, with IIayes's four years, will
make eight during which the majority
of the voters have not controlled the ex-
ecutive branch OF the Government.
Nevertheless, Garfield will be the con-
stitutional President.
If Gen. Garfield lives till March 4,
1851, he will be inaugurated. Then and
thereafter we shall, at least, have the
satisfaction of knowing that the White
House has an occupant who was elected.
New York was counted for Hancock
before election day, largely on the
strength of Mr.. Kelly's protestations.
Since election day, and on the strength
of cold facts, it has been counted for
Garfield. 1t is not likely to be counted
for Hancock again at present.

How to Dress a Turkey.

There is much practical wisdom
among the poultry men, that does not
get into the papers or books. A turkey
raiser who prides himself on sending to
market the handsomest lot of turkeys
in his town, for the Christmas market,
tells us how he dresses his birds. The
turkeys are fed as usual the night before
batchering, and in the morning are
driven i'll upon the barn floor. as soon as
they come from the roost, and are made
secure. Their crops are empty and can
be caught as they are wanted. Make a
slip moose of strong cord for each turkey,
in an adjoinging stable or shed, put the
turkeys legs into the moose, and with a
small pointed knife stick the bird as near
the head as possible. As soon as the
bird is dead, strip off the feathers, pin
feathers and all. Cut the neck off as
near the head as possible, remove the
wings and draw the entrails, before tax
ing the bird down.. The turkey is hung
up alive, and taken down ready for mar
ket. Lay the bird on its breast or side,
upon clean board to cool. Turkeys
thould be carefully handled in dressing.
to avoid breaking the skin, for it rubs
off very easily when they are warm. Re-
move all the pinfeathers and pack the
birds when sent to market, in clean straw
so that there will be no marks of blood
upon them. Handsome, clean dressing
will add cent pound, and often more
to the market price of all kinds of poul.

The above is an exact copy of the

Two thousand and fifty-five of these

The dashes reproduced in the copy are

The Herald says in an editorial para.
graph:
After writing our editorial on the
ticket outrage proposed in this county
we learned that the Election Commits
sioners actually threw out over 1000
tickets voted by the Republicans. In oul
opinion this equals the Returning

what lengths will these people go Ant
to think our State will have to stand the

THE SABBATH DAY.
BY WILL CUMBACK.

Like mothers kiss to the weary child
Like the calm of the sea waves, raging
and wild;
Like rest. sweet rest, to the tired feet;
Like joys sweet dream, while sOrrows
sleep;
Like dew upon the dropping flower;
Like hope in a departing hour;
Like joyful news from those We love;
Like benedictions from above
Comes the Sabbath morn to me.
1t bushes the din and angry strife,
1t Gains the storm Of mp busy life,
And anchors me in her peaceful bay,
And bids me rest the blessed day.
No tempest Of cares diSturbs my haven
And love comes nesting into my heart
To heal the wounds and soothe the
smart,
That the week days battle is sure tc
give,
If the life Of hero live.
I've left ON the shore, far ont OF sight,
The strifes and the hates Of the past
weeks fight.
And love to God and my fellow men
Makes ms long to be like Christ again.

Prospects for Wool.

The subject of the future of the wool
crop is now attracting universal atten-
tion throughout the United States, and
the extension of sheep raising is eviden-
ced in every direction. There is no part
of agriculture which has been so liable
to severe reaction AS wool, but we be-
lieve that greater permanence may now
be anticipated in the business than at
any former period of our history, for the
reasons that we have heretofore presen-
ted in these pages. The Boston Guilt
vator, alluding to the future prices OF
wool, remarks that wheat has had its
seasons of extreme depression; Sc have
corn and meat, yet farmers continued
their production without any apparent
abatement. But whenever wool has be-
come severely depressed, then commen-
ces an almost indiseriminatc slaughter
nf sheep, or Il very careless system OF
sheep husbandry and locks are allowed
to disperse or degenerate, and we fire.
quently find sections which were produ-
cling large quantities of wool left almost
entirely without sheep. Then again
come lamentations from the farmers,
and they are heard regretting their folly
