land in his 18th, year and died In
1875. Gen. Arthur was educated at
Union College and graduated in the
class of 40. After leaving college
he taught country school during 2
years in Vermont, and then, having
managed by rigid economy. to save
about $500, he started for New York
city and entered the law Office of ex-
Judge E. D.. Culver as student.
During the early part of the war he
was Quarter Master General of the
State of New York.
During his term of office every
present sent to him was Immediately
returned. Among others, a promi-
nent clothing house offered him a
magnificent uniform, and printing
house seat him a costly saddle and
trappings. Both gifts were indig-
nantly rejected. When Mr.. Arthur
became Quartermaster General he
was poor. When his term expired he
was poorer still. He had opportuni-
ties to make millions unquestioned.
Contracts larger than the world had
ever seen were at his disposal. He
had to provide for the clothing, arm
ing, and transportation of hundreds
of thousands of men. Speaking of
him at this period, friend says $50
Jealous was he of his integrity that
/ have known instances where he
could have made thousands of dollars
legitimately, and yet refused to dc it
on the ground that he was public
officer, and meant to be like CRser's
wife, above suspicion"
In 1871 Gen. Arthur was appoint
cd Collector of the Port of New
York and four years later was re-
appointed. He was removed by
President Hayes in 1878 despite the
fact that two special com .nittees made
searching investigation into his adj
ministratioH, and both reported them
selves unable to find anything upon
which to base a charge against him.
In the commandments announcing
the change, both President Hayes
and Secretary Sherman bore official
witness to the purity of his acts while
in office. A petition for his reten-
ton was signed by every Judge Of
every court in the city, by all the
prominent members of the Bar, and
by nearly every important merchant
in the collection district, but this
General Arthur himself suppressed.
Since his removal, he has been en-
gagged in the practice of law, and in
the direction of Republican politics
IN the State, being Chairman of the
Republican State Committee. In
person he is over feet in height
broad shouldered, athletic, and hand
some. He is man of great culture
and wide experience, an able lawyer
with refined tastes, and manners Of
the utmost geniality.

The First Gun.

Oregon leads the Garfield and Ar
thur Column of 1880. From away off
in that northwestern corner of the
great republic comes the news of
Democratic rout in the election which
took place on Monday. The Repub-
licans have elected three judges of
the Supreme Court, have carried a
majority of the legislature, and have
chosen Mr.. M. G. George to the
Forty-seventh Congress. The aver
age majorities are from eight hundred
to thousand. Mr. George is the
first meMber elected to the next Con-
gress, and will take the seat of Mr..
Whitaker (Democrat), who now
represents the State. The Democrats
have carried the State ever since 1876,
and now the Republicans have been
victorious over both Democratic and
Greenback tickets. The present gov
ernor, who is Democrat, holds over
until 1882, and there is no United
Safes senator to be elected until that
year but Mondays triumph secures
the three electoral votes of Oregon
for Garfield and Arthur in November
next.

The County Levy.

The County Commissioners. Mess.
D. H. Friend, John Wilhelm and
w. w. Broadwater, Friday of last
week completed the tax levy fer
1880, which will be found on tho op.
posite page of this issue. The levy
for 1880 is fixed at SO cents on every
500 of assessable property, a reduc.
ton of q cents from the levy of last
year. The State tax is 1Sa cents.
making total Of S1.O7a.
The decrease would have been
much larger had it not been for the
large expense incurred in the cree.
ton of bridges, over five thousand
dollars having been expended in
this way, or about 16 cents ON every
500 of assessable property.

Speaking of the oft-repeated decla-
ration that eff Tilden cannot carry
New York no other Democrat cam"
the Washington Star says it's true
meaning is that if Tilden is defeated
for the nomination he will see that
the man who is nominated shall not
have the electoral votes ofNew York.
1t says:
1.-THE most hopeful and enthusiastic
Democrat will not have the hardi-
hood to deny the power of Mr.. Til
den to throw the votes of Yew York
against his party if he wishes to do
so. He has absolute control of the
party machinery In the State. His
whispered commands are promptly
Obeyed by the State COMMITTEES,
which is controlled by men who re-
gard obedience to him as the first
duty they owe to Democracy. No
man ever had his political henchmen
under such complete and absolute
control as has Mr.. Tilden."

TOOMBs ON GARFIELD's NoMINA-
TIoN.-About 7 O'Clock last evening
General Gordon and General Toombs
met in bevy of distinguished gen
tlemen in front of the Kimball
House, and had friendly chat over
the news from Chicago.
"Gerdon, what do think of Gar.
fields nomination 2" asked General
ToOmbs of Gen. Gordon.
"He is a strong man-one of the
strongest men in the party, perhaps,
with the exception of Washburne.
General Toombs-'I think so my.
self, but I didn't know the id fools
had SO much sense as to nominate a
man like him."
General Gordon = That is the
trouble with them. They have too
much sense in campaigning"
General Toombs-"well, these fell
lows who are going to Cincinnati
have got to put up our best man to
beat him."
General Gordon "Yest, they
must, indeed. "-Atla'ata Constitution.

Garfield and Arthur Thirty Years Ago

North Pownal. Bennington c0un>
ty, Vermont, formerly known as
Whipple's Corners, is situated in the
southwestern corner of the State and
by the usually travelled road one
passes, in an hours ride, from New
York, through the corner Of Yer
mont, by way of North Pownal,
into the State of Massachusetts. In
1851, Chester A. Arthur, fresh from
Union College, came to North Pow
nal. and for one summer taught the
village school. About two years
later, James A. Garfield, then a
young student at Williams College,
several miles distant. in order to OBJ
tain the necessary means to defray
his expenses while pursuing his
studies, came also to North Pownal,
and established writing school in
the same room formerly occupied by
Mr.. Arthur, and taught classes in
penmanship during the long winter
evenings. Thus from common
starting point in early life. after a
lapse of more than a quart sr OF a
century, after years of manly toll,
these distinguished men are, by the
action of the Chicago convention,
brought into close relationship before
the nation and before the civilized
world Washington Star.

Gross and Ridiculous Inconsistencies

The Maryland Democrats arc ver-
bose, but their resolutions are worth
reading for the gross and ridiculous
inconsistencies with which they are
crowded. In the face of the fact that
the Democratic Congress has just
passed a River and Harbor bill taking
nearly twice as much money out of
the treasury as the Republicans ever
appropriated by similar measure,
they declare that the Democratic
party twill check the present ex-
travagance in the expenditure OF
public money" They charge the
Republican party with bringing the
country to the verge of ruin with its
financial legislation, when they know
perfectly well that it was only the
firmness of that party which kept
the Democrats from running the pub.
lie credit and flooding the land with
irredeemable paper money. Finally,
they declare that they will never
c0ndone the fraud of 1876, and almost
in the same breath express their con.
fidence in Bayard, who advocated
the Electoral Commission bill, and
was member of1the commission
Ne,C York Tribune.

The State Convention.

This body met in Baltimore on
Wednesday and acted as a sort of
ratification meeting to carry into
effect the wishes Of those who have
assumed control of party affairs in
this State, and have enriched them
selves upon party patronage and Off
cial plumber until in the exercise of
the power thus acquired the very
identity of the Democratic party has
been swallowed up and lost in the
aviW of combination of men whose
political records dare not be submit
ted to the scrutiny of an impartial
vestigation. We find no fault with
the delegates selected to represent
the Democracy of Maryland at Gin
cinnati. With but few exceptions
they are representative men. But
we do protest most earnestly against
the cutand. dry arrangement that
characterized the proceedings of what
was supposed to be deliberative
body composed of men with heads
and intellects capable of acting and
thinging for themselves. 1t is not a
hopeful political sign when men con-
sent beforehand to be used and driven
like dull, unreasoning cattle, and
strive for seats in convention where
| their ambition to ascertain what
some one else desires them to do. is
only exceeded by the alacrity with
which they perform what they are
told. There is more discomfort, dis.
satisfaction and decentralization in
the Democratic camp in this State to-
day than ever was known before at
the grim Imperialism of ring rule,
and nothing but distrust of Repub.
lican rule upon one side and a veneer
alton for Democratic traditions upon
the other holds Maryland solidly in
the Democratic column. The faction
that has so long controlled by prac-
tees as undemOcratic as they are re-
pusnant to decency is certain sooner
or later to provoke an explosion that
will tear the party from turret to
foundation stone. Through the ac-
ton of the men who have assumed
the title of "managers" Western
Maryland has been hopelessly lost to
the Democracy, while other portions
of the State have become debatable
ground. The majority for Governor
Hamilton last fall ffords no criterion
by which party strength in this State
is to be determined, because around
his banner every element of reform
was gathered, and his overwhelming
vote was an implied censure upon
previous Democratic mismanage-
ment. Misinterpreting the meaning
of Gov. Hamilton's majority, the
party has again been swung around
into the old and rust-eaten grooves
that necessitated resort to the grOs-
sest frauds upon the ballot-box to
save the party from overwhelming
defeat in 1875. Is this the reliance
of 1880? Are we to depend upon
the Baltimore rough and ballot-box
suffer in November next? At any
rate it would seem as if the selfap'
pointed managers" were Indifferent
as to the means to be adopted, so that
the end left them in the control of
the machine over which tioated a
banner smirched with fraud and cor
ruption.- Cunlb. Leader, Democratic.

PURCHASING A VICTORY,

Mentor, o., Sept. 14.-Gen. Garfield
has received the following dispatch:
Augusta, Me-, Sept. 14.-The net re-
suit of yesterdays election, as nearly as
can be stated at this hour, p. NJ, Tues
day, is as follows: The republicans have
carried the first, second and third con-
gressional districts, while the fusionists
have carried the fourth and fifth. The
republicans have carried both branches
of the legislature by strong majority,
reaching perhaps two-thirds of each
house. On the present vote for governor
Davis and Plaisted have each over 1900
votes, with the probabilities in favor of
Plaisted coming out few hundred, per
haps 1000 ahead. The result is undeni-
ably surprise to us and generally to
the mass of the democratic party in
Maine. Our canvass was never more
accurately taken, and it showed on We'd
nesday last the total vote of Davis to be
II tritle over 7G.OOO, with probable
majority Of 5000 as a minimum. -Four
days preceding the election we lost over
5000 votes by means well known to the
managers of the national democratic
campaign, and which do not call for
further specifications from me. The total
cost is variOusly estimated Mt from
$70,0OO to $1OO,000, and the money an
came frome beyond the state. Such
scenes were never before witnessed in
Maine.

OF barley which we have received from
MIR. McCurdy make most satisfactory
sample. He tells us the seed were got in
Rapid three years ago when they were be-
ing distributed by the Agricultural de-
pnrtment OF Washington. That three
acles We're cultivated this year which
produced large quantity, and said to
be, by those who saw it, the best ever
seen in the Territory. Barley will be a
very valuable grain to raise because the
land here produces well, and besides its
various uses is necessary for brewing
purposes and as several new beer facto-
ries are i'll course of establishment in the
Hills, and one In the suburbs of Rapid,
there will be a growing demand for the
grain. Mac says he will SOW down ten
acres or more next year, and we think
it good plan to give his attention to
sowing down this kind of grain. He can
easily dispose of all he raises.
AS to oats, Mr.. McCurdy says he has
some six feet high with three hundred
grains to the head. Also a species of
Russian white wheat with heads eight
inches in length, and that he will send
us down specimens. That's what we
should call tall small grain and wonder
lftany of our rancllmen can out crop it.
Would like to hear from our agricultural
friends all over the country in reference
to grain growing, their views and opin-
ions. Send us letters, samples of all
productions, 30 we can tell others,
through The journal.

A BUSINESS VIEW OF II.


new 1Ofk tribune. 18TH.
What business men think of the possi-
bility of a democatic victory was
clearly shown yesterday in Wall street.
Lending democratic bankers and brok-
ers were fairly tumbling over each other
in their haste to sell securities. There
was not much disposition to resist, and
at every effort to sell prices declined
rapidly. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed that Secretary Sherman might
not feel that it would be safe to expend
the reserves largely in the purchase of
bonds, as democratic congress, en-
couraged by success, might play mischief
with the entire revenue system next win
ter, and leave the treasury without ade-
quate resources to meet the bonds ma
turing next year. It was remarked, too,
that the democrats would succeed only
BY the aid of just such Greenback voters
in Indiana and New York as those who
cast two-thirds of the fusion vote in
Maine, and that the democratic party, if
1t should come into power. would
be forced to consult the wishes of that
extreme element in financial matters.
The keen apprehension as to the finan-
clal future which such considerations
cause was expressed even more frequent-
y and strongly. 1t was more noticeable
by democratic business men than by
republicans, because the former best
know the dangerous elements with which
they are politically associated. Probably
sober second thought will satisfy most
men that democratic victory is not vet
to be expected; but there was a little
[oretaste yesterday of the sure effect of
such victory if it should come.

DeKalb, Miss. Sept. 15.-The trial of
Virgil and Houston Gully on the charge
of the murder of John P. Gilmer in 1873.
is progressing. The state has closed it's
case, having examined ten witnesses. In
the trial one year ago of Henry J. Gully
for the murder of Cernelia Chisolm. he
was acquitted. The plan of the prosecu-
ton then was to establish conspiracy.
The states proof thus far is that Virgil
Gully fired the first and second shots at
Gilmer. Witnesses for the defense testi-
ty that Virgil fred neither the first nor
second shot, because they were in con-
versation with him at the time. There
were ten witnesses. Hopher,for the state,
testlties that he was in Jail ut the time
Gilmer was killed, and Houston shot at
him after he was down. Walker Morri-
son, for the defense, testifies that he was
in jail with Hopher. They were looking
at crowd 800 yards away through n
glass in the Jail window and could dis
tlngWsh no one in the crowd of 100 men
move. He did not see Houston. Wit
ness Harvey testified that Houston was
near him all the while; that Houston had
no gun and he is certain he did not
shoot at Gilmer. Witness Waddle
testifies that at the time of the second
shot he saw William Gully run out Of
the back door of his store in the direction
Gllmer had gone, and after raising his
gun to his shoulder Immediately disap-
peared from view behind the corner of
the store, and in an instant after he
heard the report Of gun at the back of
that house. This was the third and last
shot. He supposed at the time that
William Gully fired it, but was not GER
tain. The defense closed.

The Bunker Hin Celebration.

Boston, Sept. 17.-Weather beautiful.
The streets along which the procession
moves and adjoining thoroughfares are so
crowded it is difficult to move in them.
The business houses are closed and there
is every indication that the Bunker Hill
celebration of three years ago will be
dwarfed when compared with to-day.
The literary portion of the celebra-
tion was held in the old South church.
At nine o'clock the governors of states,
and mayors of cities, and invited guests
OF the city occupied platforms extending
three lengths Of the church. Mayor
Prince delivered the Grafton, which occu-
pied two hours, and at its conclusion the
mayor and guests were taken in car
rlages and escorted into line in the pro-
cessiOn.
