Mr.. ED1roR:-Will you have the kindness to
set us right before your readers in the Lewis

We want to say to your readers most emphatl-
cally that there is no patent on the Lewis Sec
ton, and we trust you Will ascertain o1nclally
from the Commissioner of Patents, that what we
saw is true, and report the same to your readers.

inally arose in regard to the one to whom the
honor of first making such a section belonged,
and as to whether 1t should be termed the Form
crook section or the Lewis & Parks section. AS
is usual in such cases, the parties became warm
er and warmer in the contest and Our friend f.

In response to the call for the organi-
cation of Hancock & English Club the
faithful of the democracy of Watertown asaa
sembled last Saturday evening at Lower
Turner Hall, and took the preliminary
steps towards contamination of the great
desire of their hearts We believe there
has been larger gatherings held here than
the one under the present notice conse-
quently there was 10 crowding OF the
mourners and seats were easily procured
for the accommodation of the great out
pouring. The formidable array ofvacant
chairs had rather a demoralizing effect
upon the proceedings at first and discus
sion arose as to the propriety of postpon-
ing the meeting out of courtesy to the alb
sent ones, whom it was we'll known were

REDWOOD AND ROUNDABOUTS.

Having time is cut short by the advent
of harvest. Winter wheat is about all
cut and is fair crop; but the prospects
of spring wheat do not boom as they did.
The weather is extremely hot at this
writing. The Fahrenheit thermometer in
front of Tom Solon's store indicating
1862 in the shade. The numerous rains
of the hay season has interfered material
ly with hay making, rendering it difficult
for farmers to cure the hay between
showers.
The celebration of Independence Day
here was all that could reasonably be ex-
pected. The attendance of strangers
was far larger than was anticipated and
enjoyment seemed to be universal. The
citizens took hold, the scholars did nobly
and the teachers did the rest. Prof. John
Kelly delivered very eloquent Grafton,
handling the subject in an entirely new
light. The fireworks were failure on
account of the failure of the Chicago
house to fill the bill. The stores were
decorated with streaming drapery and
green foliage, and an air OF general JOY
fitness seemed to pervade the busy vii
LACE. A dance in the hall wound up
Publications, and that being over, all
parties went quietly homeward, Topped
| into the arms of morpheus and dreamed

free and the home OF the brave.

EcGN HOPES to the Ground.

We are sorry to be compelled to say it.
but the truth, we suppose, must be told,
and that is that the republicans may as
we'll chang their harps upon the will
lows" AL. Bauman-everybody knows
Alias been to Philadelphia, ostensibly
on commission business, but really to
view the political situation, and he comes
back cooked and primed with full and
reliable information concerning the out
look in Pennsylvania He tells The
Weltberger all about it confdentially,
but that paper cannot keep so good a
thing and so lets an anxious world know
all the secrets of which Al. became pos
sessed. He found that hundreds and
thousands Of republicans there are array
ing themselves under the Hancock BAN
ner, and that the democrats are
going to sweep everything before
them. They will be content with not
less than $4,000 majority. We are SO
glad that AL. has made this discovery.
Twill be welcome news all around-to
democrats, for now they know that Han
cock is as good as elected, and to repub-
licans, for it puts them out of their mis-
cry and they can at once turn their at
tention from politics, knowing that Gar
field is a dead duck. Of course, there
can be no mistake about this. Every
body knows that AL. is an old and ex-
perienced politician, and keen and
shrewd observer. He couldn't have
travelled all the way to Philadelphia and
back without seeing something. Whe-
Their his observations are to be extended
to other states or not we do not know
1t would be interesting if we could be
told what majority AL promised for Han
cock in Wisconsin. If he exercised the
same judgment as regards this state that
he shows concerning Pennsylvania, he
must have assured the Philadelphians
that Wisconsin will 60 democratic by
10000. That story would be quite as
credible as the other, and find just as
many believers.
Of course, AIS expectations are very
great. Visions of the postoffice are con-
stantly fitting before his eye, and he
would doubtless be thinking at once
learning the boxes but for a remember
ance of the old saying that cone should
never count his chickens before they are
hatched."

Killed on the Ir0cE.

Last Wednesday night Edward Wink
Ter, resident of the Seventh ward, while
on his way home, as is supposed in an in
tskicated condition, was struck by the en-
CINE of one of the eastward bound freight
trains on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway at the cut near Richards
Grove. When found one side of the un-
fortunate mans head was terribly cut and
he received other severe injuries from the
effects of which he died Thursday morn
ING at 7 o'clock. No blame can be at
tached to any of the railway employees as
the night was very dark and he was not
noticed until too late. Winkler was ma
son by trade about 40 years of age and
leaves wife and five children in destitute
circumstances to morn his untimely death

GAG LAW IN THE OHIO SENATE.
The closing scene in Wednesday after
moons session Of the Senate, says Co.
lumbue paper last week, presented an
episode that deserves to 60 down in his
tory to the disgrace of the Republican
party, whose representatives were parties
to the proceeding. The so-called def.
cheney bill had been considered, and the
question was on its passage, when Sena-
tor Atkinson sent forward to the Clerks
desk demand for a separate vote on
each of its items. Senator Pond, before
the Clerk had read the motion, raised
the point of order that the motion was
not proper. President pro tenn Richards
still without having the motion read, de-
clared the point we'll taken, and directed
the Clerk to proceed with the call on
the passage of the bill. Before Senator
Atkinson could get to his feet to demand
an explanation Of the ruling, the Clerk
had called a name or two, and the Presi.
dent peremptorily refused to hear any
objections. After the Senate had ad.
ourned, Senator Marriott inquired of
Mr.. Richards on what ground he based
his ruling, The reply was that the mo-
ton was not seconded by five Senators
as provided in the rules. When inform
ed that the motion was signed by seven
members he expressed great surprise,
The truth is, he deserves great censure
for not reading or directing the reading
Of the motion. In his haste to do little
dirty party work, he has put himself on
record as declaring out of order motion
that was indisputably in order"
On the next morning (Thursday) after
the reading of the journal, Mr.. Saltzga-
Der moved the correction of the journal,
but the motion was voted down, after
which Senator Atkinson offered his pro-
test, and demanded his Constitutional
right to have it spread upon the journal,
which was done. In the protest Mr.. At
kinson gives in detail the high handed
ruling of the chairman of the Senate,
and his plain violation of the Constitu-
tional right of a Senator. Mr., Atkin.
sons protest concludes thus:
protest in the name of economy, for
this ruling enabled the passage of an ex-
travagant appropriation bill, and as my
constitutional right, I demand that this
protest be spread upon the journal at
once. F. M. ATKINSON.
Senator Richards seemed to squirm
under the protest Of Senator Atkinson.
He had made himself the instrument
to enforce gag law, and trample upon
the Constitutional rights of the eminority.

MY DEAR SIR-My engagements here
will deny me the pleasure Of being pres
ent at the dinner of the Democratic As.
soCiation of Massachusetts, on the anni-
very Of the birth Of Washington, l
need not say how much / should be de-
lighted to meet the company who will
be assembled on that occasion.
Nothing could be more fit at the pres
ent time than to commemorate that day.
1t was the Father of his Country, "first
in war, fret in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countryu4en," who set the
original example against third term in
the Presidential Office. He made that
memorable precedent as a guide to all
his successors, and as an unwritten law
Of the American people. He did SO in
the light of a prevalent fearin the minds
Of the most ardent of the patriots who
had achieved our national independence,
and created our system of free govern
ment, that indefinite re.eligibility would
degenerate into practical life tenure.
The vast power acquired by the Fed
eral Government over the elections by
its officeholders, it's patronage, the money
it levies, and its various forms Of corrupt
influence, have developed this danger,
until it darkens the whole future of our
country.
In the choice between the republic
and the empire, we must believe that
the people will be true to their ancestry
and to mankind.
rendering you the assurances of my
esteem, l am very respectfully yours,

The Alliance Review finds fault that
we did not give the full paragraph, in
instead Of only giving the first part,
where the Reviea0 admits the conviction
and. sentence of Republican officials.
We cheerfully give the whole para.
graph:
"Four election officers in the thirty.
first ward in Philadelphia were sent to
the Penitentiary for enc year each, for
conspiripg to make a false election re-.
turn. Our Democratic neighbors tell US
they were Republicans, of which we
have little doubt. Had they been Demo
Gratis, and gully of the same ofenss in any
Democratic State or city, they IOOtlId have
been rewarded rather than punished. This
is the way the Republicans serve their
rogues."
"Sere their request" Was this the way
they served their Credit Mobilier
"rogues2" No indeed They continue
to honor them, generally, with high pub
lie position. They did not serve Belk-
nap, BabCock and the "rogues" Of the
District ring in this way. Grant screen
ed them all, and the same Grant is like
ly to be the Republican candidate for
President for third term. Is not this

"THE THIRD TERM sCHEME. },


The third.term scheme had further
development in the New York conven.
tion. The machine ground out the grist
according to order, but the matter is
pretty thoroughly understood.
Owing to the rules of civil service re-
form, the Republican enemies of the
Administration have possession Of the
organization in New York, as in Penn
sylvania, and it has pleased them to run
it for Grant.
The Republican party is, however,
largely composed Of men Of such intelli-
gence and principle, character and con.
victions, that the vulgar and brutal work
in Pennsylvania and New York must
fail. The better class of Republicans
will not be tyranized over by the pro-
fessors of coarse politics, and the repre-
sentatives of the rings who had a better
time under Grant than they have had
since.
The calculation of the Grant men has
been from the first that they could use
the compact and corrupt organizations
they possessed in Pennsylvania and New
York, 80 as to give an irresistable i'm.
pulse to their case. They have played
their game boldly. On the surface it is a
success, In essentials, however, we be.
lieve it to be a failure.
There has been no show for fair ex-
preston of public opinion in Pennsylva.
MIA and New York. The Grant game is
exposed. We believe twill be beaten
in Illinois and Indiana, and that it will
not carry another Northern State. In
that case Grant will not be named as a
candidate, and it will be claimed for him
that he never consented to be one. IT.
however, he should gain majority of
delegates, why, Blaine would withdraw
the use of his name. In no case will
Sherman withdraw. He will he can

votes are for him Gin. Commercial (Sber.
