The improved and enlarged credit mobi.
lier, which was announced to have been
discovered in Northern Pacific, day before
Yesterday, does not seem to promise much.
In the first place it turns out TO be the
Texas Pacific, instead OF the Northern Pa.
cific, which is charged with having used
its bonds and spare change to corrupt Con.
gressmsn and secure an extension OF It's
land grant, and in the next place, Mr.. j.
A. George, who makes the charges, is not in
the best repule here. He is alleged to be
a Star route lobbyist, aud his assertions in
this particular matter are not generally
credited. The whole affair will be ventil.

ADJOURNMENT TALK.

Most of the talk advocates early ad.
journment. Some of the members, nota-
bly, Senator Bayard, urge that bill pro.
vidipg for the count OF the next Electoral
vote be passed before the session ends, but
1t is generally believed such bill cannot
be passed now. Both sides are too much
afraid OF being cheated. The free traders
have pretty much given up all hope ol
passing the omnibus tariff bill, and none
OF the remaining contested election cases
are likely to be taken up.

How the Candidates Took Il.

a Mentor, o., despatch says that Gen.
Garfield spent Tuesday very quietly and
calmly, undisturbed, apparently, by the ex-
cltement of the election. He visited the
polls at Mentor and cast his ballot like any
other citizen. During the evening congratu-
latory dispatches began to pour in, which
were read TO 4 crowd of his neighbors who
had gathered at his office. In a little speech,
made to them after the result became plain,
Gen. Garfield said:
''Genllcmen, this result means three things
first, that the American people believe in
nationality Of government second, that
they believe in good, honest, healthy finan-
ciai policy; third, that they are determined
not to narrow and disgrace the sphere of
American politics by endorsing u campaign

but when he received news that his own ma

up, closed his headquarters and retired. On
Wednesday he said to a reporter II said he
fore the election that was willing to abide
by the will of the people, and feel the same
way now. That is all, sir" During the
day Gen. Mcclellan called on Gen Hancock
and, having been there himself, rendered
Gen. Hancock his sympathies, which were
pleasantly received

SOME important matters will come up at
the session of Congress now near ut hand.
Among other things will be the reapPortion-
ment for Congressional representation dur
ing the next ten years, beginning with The
4Sth Congress. Accepting the basis last
adopted, the House will be increased from
293 to 36S members, Southern and Western
States being the gamers. Another important
question is the repeal of the Silver bill On
the 1st OF December next the assets Of the
Treasury of the United States will he about
S210, 600, 900. Over $50, 600 600 will be in
silver. But unoer the present regulations
year from that date, the silver coinage
would be increased S24 ,000, 900 and the gold
coin by the payment of liabilities and pur-
chase Of silver bullion would he reduced To
about SO, 900, 600, So that the assets would
show that the gold actually belonging To the
United States Treasury would he less than
SSO, 900, 900 aud the silver would be S10l,-
900, 600, and our specie basis would lie prac-
tically on silver. 1t Is understood that See
retary Sherman will urge the repeal of the
law making it obligatory To coin silver, the
repeal OF the law authorizing the issue Of
silver certificates with authority OF law to
discontinue the issue of one and two dollar
legal tender notes until the fifty old millions
of standard silver dollars and the twenty-five
millions of fractional silver coin have entered
into circulation. Still third matter is the
necessity of making provision for funding
SG1s5, coo O0O of bonds, 5000, 900, 600 of which
are six per cents, the remainder tives. The
SKIES are redeemable June 30th next and the
tiyes May l next. Practically the coming
session will have but about eleven weeks in
which 10 dispose of the appropriation bills
and the other important matters, and upon
It's action depends very muci the avoiding
of Il necessity for an extra session of the
Fnrty-ti-hth Congress.

Nh. Thomas HUCHEs is reported as very
enthusiastic over the prospects Of his New
Rugby and as expressing himself that the
experiment will prove one of the most sue
cessful ever undertaken in the New
World The settlement of New Rugby is
on plateau, 1000 feet above the level Of
the sea, Forty-ive thousand acres of land
have been purchased and 4O0,0 more bond
ed. Of the former 1000 acres have been
sold in small farms. The town has already
been laid out. hundred lots have been sold,
ami fifteen colonists are already building
houses. A church has been built and school
organized, and the active industries Of the
place include sawmill and brickyard. \
hotel has been built, and is doing good
business. The town is situated at the juno
ton of two mountain streams, and town lots
were selling at first for 5000 apiece, but now
they bring 81, 900. 1t runs along ridge with
fine fruit-bearing soil The Chattanooga
people will take all the produce which the
farmers around New Rugby can raise, and
the new town begins its life with the most
tlattering prospects.

AGRICULTURAL.
EPIZooTY.

This disease has made its re-appearance
in this country, and in some localities IN
epidemic form, which has become mall
giant and assumed dangerous charac-
ter both to the animal and its attendants,
all of which can be avoided by the timely
use of appropriate remedies. Those who
have suffered the loss of their animals
gave no heed as to treatment, except nur-
sing, thinking it would not amount to
much, but when they saw the blood come
from the nostrils, then they sounded the
alarm, but the thief had already stolen
the animal. Treatment given from the
first will remove all danger in three days,
and secure perfect recovery in ten to fif-
teen days, in ninety per cent. of all cases.
Apply Caustic Balsam, one-half ounce on
the throat of the animal and between the
jaws, thoroughly rubbed in for ten min
utes; one application will be sufficient to
check the progress of the disease. Inter
nal treatment is indispensable TO aid
nature to throw off the poison and eradi
cate the disease from the system. Fer
rum phos Sd, one ounce for each animal.
dissolved in one pint of soft water give
one-half ounce at dose three times day.
In severe cases n dose should be given
every three hours until the above quanti
ty has been consumed, which will cause
the animal to throw off profusely. Then
follow with kali muir. 81, one-half ounce
to once pint of water mix give one half
ounce three times day. If the animal
should break out in pustular eruption,
cracked heels, scratches. etc, use kali
sulph Sd, instead of kali mur., in the
same form, which should always be given
after the use of ferrum phos., to complete
a cure DR. j. w. Johnson, J. s., in

Care Of the Eyes.


The most serious trouble with readers
and writers is, as might be predicted from
their peculiar work, weak eyes. We find
that engravers, watchmakers. and all
others who use their eyes constantly at
their work, take extra care to preserve
them by getting the best possible light
by day and using the best artificial light
at night The great army of readers and
writer's are careless, and most of them,
sooner or later, pay the penalty by being
forced to give up night work entirely
some to give up reading, except at short
intervals, under the best conditions, and
now and then one loses the eyesight en-
tirely after it is too late to take warning.
Greek, German, shorthand, or any other
characters differing from the plain Ro-
man type, make double danger. The
custom is to laugh at all warnings till
pain or weakness makes attention impera-
tive, and then it is often too late to avert
the mischief. Few comprehend the vast
number We ilippantly call million, but
it takes a million letters to make up a
fair-sized volume of 800 pages, forty lines
to the page, fifty letters to the line. A
reader makes an easy day OF reading this.
but his eyes must 60 over Il Thousand
letters We can do no better
service to readers and writer's than to call
attention to this great danger of failing
to take the best of care, which is none
too good for the eyes. Every tyro knows
that he should have the best light for
reading, should shun carefully early
dawn or twilight, should always stop at
the first signs of pain or weariness, etc.
| MnCf Enn,r fh.t ~ f,1arn a t.laln
white service Is very trying, and that the
eye is relieved by II tint. Recent expert
ments i'll Germany are reported to Indi-
cate some yellowish tint as easiest for the
eyes. Dark papers, inks that show little
color on first writing, faint lead-pencll
marks that can be read only by straining
the eyes are fruitful sources of mischief.
So is bad writing The bad paper, ink
and pencils most Of our readers will have
too good sense to use. The intelligent
public should SO clearly show its disgust
at the fine type, solid matter. poor paper
and poor printing which some publishers
and most periodicals, except the best,
are guilty of offering, that no publisher
would dare attempt the experiment Sec
ond time. The modern newspaper, which
so many read i'll the cars and by gaslight,
is oneof the most fruitful causes of poor
eyesight We cannot control this ut once,
but owe it rs duty to protest stoutly
against such printed matter, and, if pos
sible, to refuse to buy or tolerate it i'll
any form more than absolutely necessary
Printed matter ought to he leaded. A
size smaller type with this extra space
between the lines is easier to read than
the size larger, set without 1t. As the
loaded smaller size will contain fully rs
much matter TO given space. there Is no
reason why publishers should not adopt
it, because it is quite as cheap.

Personal. AND POLITICAL

The solid South has been broken To some
extent by the election of twelve or more Re-
publican members of Congress from the
Southern States, and doubtless as many more
have been counted out
Among the extraordinary results of the
campaign nothing is more astonishing than
the election of Republican Governor in
Tennessee. To be sure he is elected because
the Democrats had two candidates who very
nearly equally divided the vote Of the party,
but it is a break in the solid South which
will widen with time

one Of the most picturesque of pOst-elec-
ton incidents is the New York DemOcracy's
raising the cry of fraud in that State Their
own organization there has been rotten to
the core from 4 time when the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, and the
gigantic frauds they have committed are
known of all men. Now. ignOminiously de-
feated in what was probably one Of the fair
est elections ever held in New York, they
have the sublime audacity to turn around
and charge fraud upon their opponents , At
Il meeting OF their State Committee We'd
nesday night, il was solcmuly resolved
that in certain localities the vote cast was in
excess of the census returns of voters; and
that the county committees be requested to
take measures 10 ascertain the extent Of the
illegal voting. What the ulterior plan is, is
not yet known, though all sorts Of rumors,
startling and otherwise, are atloat. That the
Democrats will he able to effect anything
practical, either in the way of showing fraud
or of changing in any degree the result of the
election, is incredible.
