We notice many of our exchan. ges still hammering away at north srn democrats for the part they played in the recent election. When our democratic friends remember that the party in the north has stood up for principle against the spite and hate of their neighbors, and have been debarred from the society of the opposition because they sym pathized with the south, the nation al pride of chivalric honor will for bid them saying or doing anything that will reflect upon their northern brethren.

The merchants of New York York City are making enquiry into the exorbitant, unfair and dlscrlm- mating charges which railroad com panies assess on the farmers of the country, with view of having some check put on these corporations. We hope good may come of it. The railroad corporations of the country are very much like one of their own engines; useful, beneficial and harm less things when properly managed, but dangerous and disastrous when not controlled.

Ut is not true, as some of the newspapers have reported, that MT. Samuel J. Tllden is having monu- ment erected for himself in Rhode Island.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Congress adjourned yesterday to January 9th.
 -Jeems A. Garfeld's plurality grows beautifully less. Frederick 0. Prince has been re elected mayor of Boston. Mayer Prince is democrat of the old school.
 John Kelley, the deposed New York Comptroller will appear al Cleveland, O., next month in the role of lecturer.
 The next congress will stand 14S republicans; 137 democrats, and 8 greenbackers. This gives the re- publicans majority of three oyer all.
 --C. W. Granby, republican, does not intend to contest tho seat oi Maj. Latham, elected to congress- from the ninth district of North Car olina.
 --Gov. Neil, of Idaho. fears the introduction of polygamous practices in his Territory, and urges the leg isla.ure to adopt measures to avert the danger.
 Gen. Ben Harris, of Indiana, and John Sherman. of Ohio, will in all human probability be elected to represent thelr respective States in the next U. $. Senate.
 w, B. Wood, of Alabama. who has been nominated to succeed Judge Strong on the supreme bench IS republican of pronounced type and is an Ono man by birth.
 -Mahone, tho. much talked of Senator of Virginia, has declared through the Richmond Whig that he will not vote with the republicans but will stick to his democratic principles.
 --On the morning of the 16th inst, the Senate of the United States took recess of ten minutes in hon. or of Gen. Grant who had entered the chamber. When will this na- tional nuisance be abated?
 Henri Watrerson, editor of the Courier-Jorrnal expects to succeed Beck in the United States Senate, from Kentucky. The election takes place this winter and Watterson's chances are said to be good.
 When the census returns from one district in Iowa and another in Texas come in, an apportionment bill will be presented for the con sideration of congress. Congress- man Cox, of New York, has the mat ter in hand.
 The report that Senator Lamar is dangerously sick, is false. He will soon return to Washington and en- tor upon his Senatorial duties. Du- ring his absence from the Capital Ee is paired on all political questions with Senator Blaine, of Maine.

The thlrd census of the dlspu- ted districts of South Carolina con firms the correctness of the first and second. We presume that if the re- publicans cannot make up their minds to endure the prosperity of that State, they will proceed to force it out of the union.

True Story OF William Tell.

He was captain Of an archery club.
and one of the best shots with the bow
and arrow in Switzerland. That coun-
try was then under the rule of the
tyraut Gesler. One day Gesler set his
plug hat on pole for men to salute,
and ordered that every man in Altorf
should make obeisance to it or die
And they did, every man of them.
Even the trees standing around made
their best boughs. Finally Bill Tell
came along with his little boy. He told
the men of Altorf that before he would
bow to Gesler's hat he would 'Altorf
and stamp on it. That was the kind of
bows arrow he was. Gesler ar
rested him on the spot, being marshal
of the village, as we'll as tyrant, thus
drawing salary from two offices, con-
trary to the Constitution. Gesler, as q
punishment for his audacity, ordered
him to shoot an apple of the head of
his boy. This lie did, although it was
an arrow escape for young Tell. The
apple fell, pierced to the core, no en-
core being allowed, owing to the ex-
treme length OF the performance. AS
Tell rushed forward to embrace his boy,
another arrow dropped out OF his vest
"Ha!' cried the tyrant, wherefore
concealest that arrow?" Replied Tell,
pointing to Gesler's head-gear on top
of the pole, "To shoot that hat!' The
joke was so good that Gesler released
him, and gave him twenty-dollar gold
piece.-Clacinnati Saturday Night.

balance Of the remains were buried
the same day with due ceremonies,
the entire body of eaters accompanying

Rock ISLAND. June 26.-The river
here is believed to have reached its
highest point at noon to-day, and has
since been on a standstill at18 feet 5
inches above low water mark. The
condition of things in this city on ac-
count ofthe food is indeed deplorable
many families, more than 100, having
been driven from their homes in nearly
all parts of the city. Hacks have to be
used to transport persons in trains,
the water standing foot deep around
two of the three depots. The city
council has taken official action and
had the city canvassed for funds with
which to shelter the refugees who
are quartered in the school houses,
store.rooms, and almost every con-
ceivable place. There have been no
trains out or in on the Milwaukee
and Peoria roads for three days. AS
far up as Third avenue boats take the
place of carriages in the streets,
something never rknUwn before.
