terness between the Grant and Anti Grant

terness between the Grant and Anti Grant
| men, has been great.
One of the worst features of the cam
paign for the nomination, on the part Of
Grants friends, has been the manner in
which his immediate family have taken
part. 1t is an open secret that his wife
and family were exceedingly anxious fol-
another lease of power. Fred Grant, (who
is from all reports, worthless fellow made
himself particularly fresh as to his fathers
nomination. He went about among the
delegates, making such remarks to them,
'sFather's the man, "''Stick to him" "He's
the most popular man," &c.
On Tuesday morning, the balloting was
resumed with very little alteration in the
previous votes except in the case of Sher-
man, who made slight increase. In the
afternoon, on the thirty fourth ballot, there
was a slight break in favor of Garfield, who
had previously received two votes. When
the thirty fifth ballot was reached, came the
crisis. Indiana led off with twenty seven
for Garfield, followed by several Other
States, until his vote had reached so. The
thirty sixth ballot opened with great inter
est, and State after State turned their votes
in favor of Garfield, until he had received
399, being a clear majority. Grant had at
the close of the balloting, 306 votes, and
Blaine 40.
The announcement was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and delegates rushed
to congratulate Garfield on his good fortune.
As soon as order could be sufficiently re-
stored, Senator Conkling made motion
that the nomination of Garfield be made
unanimous, which was carried.
After a short recess, the Convention re-
assembled and placed on nomination Ches-
ter A. Arthur, of New York, who was
elected on the first ballot, receiving 46S
votes. The Convention then adjourned.
The nominations give entire satisfaction
to all parties. The Grant men pledge their
support to the ticket, and everything be-
tokens success for the Republicans in No
vember.
But truce to the Convention. We
have had several visitors here from South
Jersey, and among them Mr.. Frank Filth
ian, of Bridgeton, who is now on his way
to Colorado. Mr.. Fithian visited the Ma
tional Convention, and was much pleased
with what he saw.
On Sunday, at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
I met Mr.. Edward Hermon, formerly of
Bridgeton.. Mr.. Hermon is working here
at coopering, and is doing well. I.T.N.

It was lean little spring chicken, worth
about thirty cents, that strayed from the
Hammersmiths' yard at Madison, Ind, into
the Smiths yard. Mrs. Hammersmth went
to get the fowl, and Smith would not let
her have it. Hammersmith attempted to
whip Smith, who retreated into the house.
Hammersmith and his wife then threw
stones at the house, and Smith fired out
with gun, killing the husband.

General Garfield did not allow the excite

church last Sunday. With two or three
other delegates he drifted into a little church

the congregation. At the close of the ser
mon the clergyman asked the General to

SALEM COUNTY.

SALEM C0UNIi.
Recently young man of Salem county,
named Clinton Mitchell, while driving home
from Allowaystown, was struck in the mouth
by brick thrown by some unknown person.
Several of his teeth were knocked out, and
his face badly cut, and he was found lying
senseless in pool of blood between the
wheels of his buggy. Medical aid was pro-
cured and he was conveyed home. The
perpet rat or of the crime is yet unknown,
but if he is caught he may expect to take
up his residence in Castle Mott for period
Some time ago sharper visited this place
and carried away some of our citizens
money. He represented himself as an agent
for firm who had exclusive right to put
up advertisements in railroad depots, and
showed the advantage our business men
would have over all others, if they had their
cards inserted in one of his walnut frames
with gilt edging, in the depots of Salem and
Gloucester counties. The price which he
charged seemed so low that quite number
responded to his appeal and gave him a
dollar. Neither the agent nor the adver.
tisement has been heard of since. Now if
the people had told this sharper that they
had live newspaper published in their
town, and that an advertisement inserted in
it would be worth hundred times more to
them than card in one of his frames, they
would have been dollar better off, besides
having the satisfaction of helping to support
home institution. We have no sympathy
for them in their rlosses.-Pennsgroge Record.

H -~ : AGRICULTURE. r1r lr E
The commissioner Of agriculture ex-
presses the confident belief that his efforts
in behalf of the production Of our own SUI
gar and tea have been encouragingly re-
warded. IAe importance of the re, ults at
tanned have attracted marked attention at
home, and have received the special con-
sideration of foreign nations. The success
ful cultivation OF our own tea, AID the man.
utaoture OF our own sugar, would make q
difference of many millions OF dollars an
nuslly in the wealth of the nation.
TIE report of the commissioner asks at
tention particularly to the continual preVa-
lence of an infectious and contagious cattle
d sease, known and dreaded in Europe and
Asia as cattle plague or pleuro-pneumon is.
A mild type of this disease, in certain sec
tions of our country, is the occasion of great
loss to our farmers, and of serious disturb
ance to our trade with Great Brita n which
furnishes market for most of our live
stock and dressed meats. The value of
neat cattle exported from the United States
for the eight months ended August 81, 1880,
was more than twelve million dollars. and
nearly double the value for the same period
in 1879, an exampled increase of export
trade. Your early attention is solicited to
this important matter.
The commissioner of education reports a
continued inc ease of public interest in
educational affairs, and that the public
schools generally throughout the country
are well sustained. Industrial training is
attracting deserved attention, md colleges
for instruction, theoretically and practical,
| in agriculture and the mechanic arts, in
Guiding the government schools recently
! established for the instruction of Indian
youth, are gaining STEADILY in public esti-
nation. The commissioner asks special
attention to the depredations committed
on the lands reserved for the future sup
port Of public instruction, and to the very
! great need of help from the nation for
| schools in the territories and in the south
| ern states. The accommodation heretU>
fore made. is repeated and urged, that an
educational fund be set apart from the net
proceeds of the sales Of the public lands
annually, the income of which, and the re-
mainder of the net annual proceeds to be
distributed on some satisfactory plan 10
the states and territories and the District
of Columbia. ....

the people of the United States.
The sentiment that the constitutional

to control the Government of the country.
Happily, the history of the late election
shows that in many parts of the country
where opposition to the fifteenth amend

and weH>considered action isItaken by Con-
gress. / trust the House Of Representa-
tiyes and the Senate, which have the rightto
Judge of the elections, returns, and qualif
cations of their own members, will see to it
that every case of violation of the letter or
spirit of the fifteenth amendment is thor
oughly investigated, and that no benefit
from such violation shall accrue to any per-
son or party. 1t will be the duty of the
Executive, with sufficient appropriations
for the purpose, to prosecute unsparingly
all who have been engaged in depriving
citizens of the rights guaranteed to them by
the Constitution.
tits not, however; to be torgotton that
the best and surest guarantee of
the primary rights of citizenship is
to be found in that capacity for
self protection which can belong only TO a
| people whose right to universal suffrage is
supported by universal education. The
means at the command of the local and
State authorities are, in may cases, who'll
ly inadequate to furnish free instruction tC
all who need it. This is especially true
where, before emancipation, the education
of the people was neglected or prevented in
the interest of slavery. Firmly convinced
that the subject of popular education de-
serves the earnest attention of the people O
the whole country, with view to wise anC
comprehensive action by the Government
of the United States, l respectfully recon-
mend that Congress, by suitable Legislation
and with proper safeguards, supplement the
local educational funds in the several States
where the grave duties and responsibilities
of citizenship have been devolved on I'M
educated people. by devoting to the pur'
pose grants of the public lands, and if ne
cessary, by appropriations from the Treasu
ry of the United States. Whatever Gov
eminent can fairly do TO promote free pop
ular education ought to be done. Wherev'
er general education is found, peace, virtue
and social order will prevail, and civil ant
religious liberty are secure.
