IRONTON THURSDAY.

ON Sunday. Backwoodsman says he
has come to what the people want.
suppose he wants Uncle Sam to give
them . daily mail. II 80. let him 90 to
Washington and see Father Hayes or
General Key himself. No doubt they
would change all the mail routes west
Of the Mississippi to suit Backwoods-
man, and turn the waters Of Black
river to run up stream. What I have
done since have been mail contractor
I have done on manly principles. ]
have not went behind the curtain for
anything. I have not signed my
name ''Backwoodsman," or any other
assumed name. I will state to the
readers Of the REGISTER that every
postmaster on the route, from Middle
brook to Good Water, signed my petit
ton to change my starting point from
IrOnton to Graniteville. Now, Mr..
Backwoodsman, you say sin all seri-
Ousnees this is outrageous, for the sake
Of one man." Sir, that is untrue; I do
not incommode any one, sir, by not
starting from Ir0nton. Now, I must
say in conclusion that Mr.. Backwoods-
man must be . Grant man in favor Of
the third term. Now, sir, II you are
not satisfied with the mail facilities
you had better apply to the Supreme
Court of Maine.
Yours, Respectfully,
M. J. ORRICK,
U. 8. Contractor on Mail Route No. 2S5l5
from Graniteville to Good Water.

Something About the West End
Of Iron County.
BLACK RIVER. Feb. 24th. 1880.

~S~ ~As~S
Ed. Register-
In my last communication I prom
ised to give . general description O
the western part of Iron county. Al
you know, it is . mountainous coun
try, traversed by the East Fork, I'm
boden. Sutin, Ottery and Middle Fork
all tributaries of Black river. tn,
valleys are mostly all composed o
gravelly soil. yet are productive whe1
the season is not too dry. Some Of th'
upland is also fertile. and even til.
mountains are only waiting for som.
energetic Eastern farmers to convert
them into vineyards, orchards, or pas
ture and meadows for all kinds o.
stock.
As for scenery, the artist can pro
duce - fine pictures here as any.
where, with but few exceptions.
Timber is plenty and no object. as II
is too far from market at present. You
can see timber from the tall, majestic
pine, down to the scrubby post oak.
Among minerals, we have iron,
manganese, lead, silver, &C., and they
arc only waiting for capital to develop
and bring tn em to light. Several par
ties are at present prospecting, and are
sanguine Of finding the hidden treas
ures.
Red and yellow ochre and kaolin are
found in many places, and no doubt
will be utilized some day.
As for game, you can find from the
deer down to the Insignificant ground
squirrel.
We have plenty Of schoolhouses,
where the young ideas learn to shoot;
also, preaching occasionally.
The people are sociable, accommo-
dating, and healthy in general lowing.
no doubt, to the pure water that
abounds, and to breathing the fresh
airy. AS for amusements, the young
folks have social parties, and ENJOY
themselves as much here a. any
where.
Not long ago attended . social par
ty given by Mrs. A. J. Carly, and you
ought to have seen how many edi-
bles were devoured. The tables fairly
groans4 under the weight Of pyramids
o1eakssspasssanA evssytAisg one can
think Of; and you may bs sure that We
all did ample Justice to them, because
there was enough for . regiment Of
hungry soldiers. May he:genial host
and hostess flourish and give many
more such parties, was the wish Of ev-
cry one present.
Mr.. Editor, you used to have . cor
respondent in this part Of the county,
signing his name w. p. A. Probably
you would like to know why he is SO
derelict of duty, and 80 I will explain.
He is still alive, well and hearty; but he
went and got-married, and, / suppose,
don't take any more interest in cor
responding. Hoping that this will
bring him to the front again, I remain
Yours, &C.,
BACKwOODSMAN.

how many mails they had when the
mail stai ted from Ironton. Mr.. Back

Now, Mr.. Editor, I have been over the
Black river route two trips myself. I
find the people we'll pleased with their
mail facilities throughout the entire
line, with but one exception. and he
signed my petition at the time I took
it over the line. Since then he has
turned traitor. Mr.. Backwoodsman,

Office department at Washington, d.

maA that We have . daily mail from
Grmiteville to Middlebrook, and the
mai matter has increased TO near
double to what 1t was when my start

The Days of Grant.

(From the New York Sum-
Within the White House room
Where gentle Hayes lies snoring,
Fond memory starts boom,
The days of Grant restoring;
The rogues, the Rings, the whiskey kings
The piles of cash then squandered;
The secret deals, the shameless steals,
At which the people wondered.
Boss Shepherd rules the town
With profit and with pleasure;
Babcock trots up and down,
And brings his rod to measure;
While Robson spends, for self and friends
A vast amount Of money.
And all in power employ the hour
To gather heaps of honey.
Once more the gifts pour in
To his Imperial Highness;
Lobbies again begin
Their work with wOndrous slyness;
Men who can pay our rulers sway,
According to their natures,
And Grant upsets, with bsyonets,
Obnoxious legislatures.
While railroads have their way,
Each grasping corporation
Big dividends can pay,
And charge them to the nation.
The peoples faint and weak complaint
Is secuted or forgotten,
While fraud and force pursue their course,
And all is rank and rotten.
Thus in the White House room
Where gentle Hayes lies snoring,
Sad memory starts boom,
The days of Grant restoring.

New York, following the lead OF
Pennsylvania. has instructed her dele
gates to the Chicago Convention to
vote for Grant. Vermont's delegation
is for Edmunds first, and Grant after

Grant; while Indiana is divided
There appears to be no doubt that the
"man on horseback" will receive the
nomination on the first ballot.

A decision has been rendered by
the Attorney-General of the United
States to the effect that In case of . land

is not entitled to the benefit Of the
lands granted; in other words, the
railroad must as far as practicable fol-
low the line a. located or forfeit the
lands.
Senator Bayard, who, while In Eu-
rope last summer, took . look at the
iron-clads, says: ~ did not

Of defense by torpedoes, that could pre-

British naval service from steaming in
to any port upon the coasts Of the Uni
ted States and there laying waste any
city lying on our seaboard."
It Is urged that the Tehauntepec
route across the Isthmus would practic-

Mississippi and its tributaries to the Pa

direct line for all Atlantic ports than

jects. With ship canal across the
Florida peninsula 1t would constitute y
practical airline connecting the waters
