For David Davis.

The New York Sun is out for Judge
David Dayis, of Illinois, as the Dem
ocralic candidate for President. In its
issue of the 10th, it devotes page to
a sketch of his life aud public services,
and says of HIM, cditorily:
There are many reasons why Mr..
Dayis would make strong candidate
for President, especially against Grant.
He is sound statesman, the very an
tipodes of military man. In his
political opinions, his views of constis
tutiOnal doctrine, in his ideas respect
ing Capitalization on the one hand and
local self-government on the other, he
is decidedly Democratic, and at the
same time his antecedents and his per-
sonal relations are such that Republi-
cans and Independents could all vote
for him. They would do this because
he was an original, life long friend of
Abraham Lincoln, and was appointed
by the Martyr.Presiden as the execu-
tor of his last will and testament, be-
cause he shared Lincoln's love tor the
Constitution aud the Union, and sym
pathized with him in pretersing that
slavery should perish, even though it
were in blood and fire, rather than
that the CONSTITUTIONS should be over
thrown and the Republic divided be-
tween contending, warning Govern
Ineuts.' E.-

A Terrible Accident.

EPHRATA, Pa, March 2I.-DuriDg
the progress of an entertainment Civ
en- by the public school in the public
hall at Lincoln last night, at which
about five hundred persons were pres.
ent, part of the floor gave way, pre-
cipitaiiDg between one hundred and
one hundred aud fifty persons to the
floor below. Many escaped by jump
ing out of the windows, which are
about twelve feet from the ground.
About thirty persons we're injured,
come seriously; among the latter are
Mrs. Jacob KOenigmacher, Misses Al
ice Bowman. Ada Springer, Ada Mil
Ter, Laura Erb and Christie Bingham.
During the confusion the scholars
rushed on the stage, Oyerturning two
coal oil lamps, one OF which exploded,
seaing fire to the carpet, but the ERE
was extinguishcd before any serious
damage was done. Intense excite.
ment prevails throughout the neigh

H cllOgg,S Seat.

The Senate committee on elections
have reported in favor of turning out
Kellogg and seating the contestant,
Spofford, as the senior Senator from
the State of Louisiana. Though tardy,
this decision is eminently just. Mr..
Kellogg was elected by majority of
the Legislature of the State of Lousi-
ana, who exercised their functions on
ly by suferance of the people and de-
Tended by troops of the United States.
The legal legislature of the State had
been dispersed at the point of the
bayOnet by person known to history
as Gep. De TrObriand under orders
from Gen. Grant-issued upon the
recommendation of the much overrat-
ed Phil. Sheridan. The legislative
pOwe er of the commonwealth having
been driven from it's constitutional
place Of meeting, Kellogg, who was
their governor, caused his adherants
to meet and choose him as Senator
from the State, despite tile fact that
SpOflOrd had been elected by clear
majority of all the members of both
houses of the legally elected legisla-
ture. The Senate, being Republican,
admitted Kellogg TO the seal for the
simple reason That his vote on parti-
san questions might be essential, and
despite of the fact that several of the
more honorable members of the party
in That body denounced nnstintingly y
the methods employed by him in pro-
curing his election.
Aside from the Irregulafity of the
legislature which elected him, it has
been proved that Kellogg resOrted 10
the most f1agrant bribery to secure the
prize he so much coveted. The evil
dence showed that he had corrupted a
number of the Scnegambian members
ed him, by appointments TO Office
and IN several instances by the direct
payment of money.
| Mr.. kellogg has never had the
| slightest vestige of right to the seat he
has occupied for the past three years.
| His admission TO the chief legislative
body was characterized by members
of his own party, among whom VIC
may mention Senators Carpenter and
Conkllng, as gross outrage upon
free government and the right OF the
people TO proper representation in the
| deliberatiye assembly of the republic.
His expulsion at this time is not a
party exigency but moral duty. We
trust that the Senate will not shrink
from. the performance of an obvious
and imperative obligation, and will
kick the last representative of South.

AT the head Of our local column will
be found the call of the Committee for
a Caucus to be held at Citizens Hall
next Saturday evening for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for
Township and Corporation officers.
Ii is hoped that this call will be heed
ed by every Democrat in the town
ship, that there will be full attend
ance at the meeting and that tickets
will be put in nomination that will re
ceive the hearty support of the peo-
pie. We are approaching an import
ant political struggle, and it is time
that the Democracy were waking up
and preparing for the great battle.

Kansas Letter.

PRINCETON, KANSAS, Mar. Is, 1850.
FRIEND HARRIS :-Thinking a few
items from this part of the vineyard
might be of interest to your readers,
you are at liberty to publish them.
We have had what would be called
an open winter, with signs of an early
spring, until few days since, when
we had the heaviest fall of snow of this
winter. Considerable plowing has
been done, oats sown, potatoes planted,
&c. This eastern part of the State is
suitable for either farming or grazing,
best of prairie grass. The principal
crops are corn. wheat and castor beans.
Considerable numbers of cattle, sheep
and hogs are kept here. Wheat looks
well considering the hard winter.
Schools and churches are plentier
than people in the East would suppose
from the number of inhabitants. We
have two churches and school within
u miles. This county is settled with
a good class of citizens, who came from
all parts of the East and South. Tim
ber is scarce and high in some lOcali-
ties, but can be replaced with coal for
fuel as cheap as it can be had i'm Ra-
VIENNA, s to 10 cents per bushel. Fences
are mostly of the much abused, but
nevertheless valuable, barbed wire.
The Usage Orange does well, and is
really the poor mans fence, but in
some particulars it is a nuisance, as 1t
makes large growth without trim
ming, and if trimmed covers more
ground with brush than is profitable
Or convenient.

ers would like to come to Kansas, anC
for their benefit 1 will give my thee

are as we'll off there as here, but thi:
country certainly has advantages fol

or upwards.

RECENTLY it was proposed in South
Carolina TO enact law requiring all
persons to be able to read Or write be-
fore being entitled TO vote, whereupon
a howl went up in every direction
from the Republicans at this base on
slaught upon the rights of the colored
man, who would be the most hurt, by
such law. They forgot that Massa-
chusetts i'm her constitution has just
such provision and that the present
legislature of Maine is about passing
similar enactment. Rhode Island is
even worst. There foreigner must
not only be able to read and write but
must also own a certain amount Of
real estate before he can deposit a bal
lot. There are no obstacles i'm the
way of colOred men voting. Tens of
thousands of poor and honest but il
literate men are deprived of the priv
ilege of suffrage in those two New
England States on this account. South
Carolina refused TO pass the law, but
Massachusetts and Rhode Island cling
to il with death like tcnacity. 1t is
their only hope for with the barriers
to universal suffrage broken down.
Republican supremacy would be gone
in those States.--Southern EX.

REPREsEN ATIvE BLOOM has done a
good job in hunting up the real facts
in regard to State taxation during the
past six years; these facts show "a
steady reduction since the Democrats
with Governor Allen at their head
took control at Columbus. Here are
the figures:
In 1873. the total levy wasS5,477 S59 %
In 1874, the total levy was 5 $50 3U7 ~
Iu 1873, the total levy was 494S, ,995 10
In 1876. the total levy was 4 G26 go. 81
In 1877, the total levy was 4 $50 379 63
In 1878, the total levy was 4 1876 ,376 O7
In 1873, the total levy was 4 .459, :334l &c
The above is showing that is par
ticularly pleasing The Republicans
are now i'm power, and if they can cur
tail still further, let them do SO, The
people will applaud.

F. n. JOHNSON. Secretary.

DENNIS KEAENEY, The Sand Lots
statesman, has been sentenced by the
Police Judge of San Francisco TO i'm
prisonment i'm the Work House for
six months and to pay fine of 81, ,00O
for using iEcendiary language. The
case is TO be taken TO the Supreme
Court on q writ of hd6eds corpus.
The Kentucky Legislature believe
that $25 900 is a sufficient salary for
the President of the United States
and have accordingly petitioned Con-
gress by way of resolutions asking
that the salary of that officer be re-
sluced to that amount, where it had
always stood till the Republicans came
into power.
The numerous strikes that are oc.
curing all over the country among
workingmen don't seem to indicate
that the wave of returning prosperity
has reached them TO any particular ex-
tent. While the prices of merchan
dHe have been increased from % to
so per cent. or more, thus enhancing
to that extent the cost of living there
has been little or no advance in the
wages of labor.
The friends of EX Governor John
II. Palmer, of Illinois, have started a
boom in his favor as the Democratic
candidate for President, and it seems
the Governor is not averse to the use
Sf his name IN that connection. AT a
meeting of the Palmer Club at SPRING
field, ILL.,, few evenings since he
made speech in which he accepted
the position of n candidate for the
domination, and closed by saying that
as he gave his best efforts during the
war I'd prevent secession, so now he
would exert himself with equal zeal
so support the right of the people to
.he blessings of constitutional liberty.

Mud, rain, snow, and occasionally a

The Spring term of school at Mt.
Union College is going off very finely.
The attendance in each department of
the College is good. At the State Col
lege Contest, held at Akron, last We'd
nesday evening, this College was rep.
resented by Mr.. j. M. Keck, as orator,
and Mr.. c. W.. Barnes, as essayist.
While it was mot expected that Mt.
Union should bring home two prizes,
yet many eyes were turned to this in
stitution with interest. We reaped all
the honors belonging to us-our essay
ist winning the first prize.
"Grogan's Temperance Mirror" was
exhibited at the College Chapel last
Saturday evening to a good audience.
We notice that Prof. Jas. A. Brush,
of this pioce, was nominated by the
State ScnooI Commissioner. The Prof.
is well qualified for the position, but
we would much prefer that he should
not be elected, as We need him III the
position he now holds.
The wheat through this section OF
Stark county looks good at present, but
if we have much more freezing and
thawing it will be greatly damaged.
