INDICATED!


From the Popular Bluff Citizen.l
The action of the Democrats of New
Madrid county last Saturday virtually
closes the Congressional campaign, as
Mr.. Davis already has a majority of
the delegates in the convention and
will likely get those which are yet to
be selected.
Thequiet but emphatic endorsement
of Mr.. Davis in the counties where an
honest canvass was had is q complete
vindication of his course in Congress
and is a testimony of which he can
well feel proud. The peculiar and, we
might add, unfair campaign inaugur-
ated by Mr.. Ward enabled him to car
ry the counties of Stoddard, Scott and
Oregon, when full expression of the
people and an honest deal would have
defeated him. But be that as it may,
the result is the same and follows our
figures without a single variation. Mr..
Davis will likely be nominated by ac-
clamation, as it is reported that Mr..
Ward has withdrawn from the race, in
order to give an independent candidate
a longer canvass, it is supposed. Inde-
pendents and boilers have no chance in
the Fourth District, and should Mr..
Davis life be'spared he will represent
his native district for the second time
in the next Congress.
Below we attach a table which will
show the exact status of canvass at this
time, and from it can be seen that Mr..
Davis nomination is now beyond dis
pute:

The sea serpent has made his annual
appearance. This time he turns up
dead. A vessel which has just arrived
nj New York reports that he was sight
ed off the coast of Maine, and a thor
ough examination of the monster was
made. A boats crew pulled off to him,
danced on his broad back, and made
an accurate measurement of his head.
This was barrel-shaped, as usual, and
thirty feet long. The skipper desired
to tow the serpent to port, but was pre-
vented by dead calm, and he was fin
ally left floating aimlessly about the
sea. We fear the honest skipper and
his crew are deceived about the serpent
being dead. He has never appeared in
that shape before. If he was really
dead we would never hear of him
again. It is evident he was only play
ing possum, as he is certain to make
several more appearances before the
season ends.

On June % a convention of the Irish
race" has been called to meet at Phila-
delphia. The, call is signed by over
five hundred leading Irishmen, but the
fact that the master spirit in the move
ment is O'Donovan Rosa clearly
shows that the project of the conven-
ton is to organize a new league for of
fensive operations against the British
power in Ireland. One of the main
aims of Rossa will be to obtain posses
sion and control of the celebrated Irish
skirmishing fund, which now amounts
to nearly hundred thousand dollars.
This fund was transferred to board of
seven trustees by Rossa in '7s, which
board now refuses to surrender 1t to
him or obey his mandates. Rossa pro-
poses that the Philadelphia meeting
shall select new board of trustees to
whom this fund shall be given. It is
not at all certain, however, that the
present trustees will surrender their
charge.

rious one, and seems to have been bas
ed on no principle whatever. Thus II.
linois had AZ votes and Georgia l, Mis-

Wisconsin 20. This representation was
not based on the voting power of the
Greenbackers, on population, or on
any ything else-but every body who
presented himself was given a seat as
a delegate. Besides the regular dele
gates from the various States, repre-
sentation was allowed nearly all the
factions and parties in the country, 187
members of the Union Greenback par
ty, "A of the Socialistic Labor party,

Schuyler COlfax and James A.
Garfield.
From the N. Y. Sun. |

In the summer of 1872. when the Sun
first made public the testimony of Col.
Henry S. McComb i'm the Credit Mobil-
ier suit, Schuyler Colfax and James A..
Garfield were both conspicuous leaders
of the Republican party. Mr.. Colfax
was Vice President of the United
! States; Gen. Garfield was Chairman
Of the House Committee on ApprOpria-
tions.
Writing to Col. McComb in 1868 in
regard to Credit Mobilier stock set
apart for the purpose of corrupting leg
islators, Oakes Ames had said ~ have
used this where it will produce most
good to us, think" Penciled on the
Ames's memorandum list of Senators
and Congressman bribed. There were
thirteen names in all. Here are two of
of them:
=. COlfax. Speaker.-..........2 900
Garfield, ..............2.OOO
Most of the persons affected by this
preliminary revelation hastened to deny
their guilt. The denials of Schuyler
Colfax and James A. Garfield were
alike explicit and expressive. COlfax
went from his desk in the Senate Cham
ber before a committee of the House of
Representatives, and, having sworn i'm
the name OF God to tell the truth, the |
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
made this statement:
81 state, explicitly, that no one ever gave or |
offered TO give me any shares Of stock In the |
Credit Mobilier or the Union Pacific Railroad. |
had never received, nor had rendered to me. |
any dividends in cash. stock or bonds accruing I
upon any stock In either of said organic atoms. /
1 never received . dollar in bonds, stocks, or
In the Senate Chamber, again, Colfax
shed tears while protesting his innO-
cence. and appealed to the Eternal
of Justice to establish the truth
Of his words.
Gen. James A. Garfield also swore in
the name of God to tel; the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth;
and having taken that solemn oath, he
,aid:
"Mr. Ames never gave nor offered to give
ne any stock or other valuable thing As gift.

"Q-The loan you have repaid, IL under =

Both Colfax's and Garfield's swornI I
enials were made under the pressure Il
f the emergency, and before it was

vould ever be witness to the
ruth. Circumstances which it Is not
ow necessary to recall, brought Oakes a

Together they were sailing In
Corruption's leaky boat
Which soon went down. though hard they tried
To keep the craft afoat.
One sank, and never rose again;
The other, where is he.
As master Of y gallant ship
He seeks to sail the sea.
Then weave, ye stalwart weave
Corruption's warp and weft
But why is Garfield taken,
And Schuyler Colfax left?
Together they were richly bribed.
Together loudly swore;
Together on their brazen brows
Corruption's brand they bore.
One bent his head, and yelled his eyes,
Aud sneaked away in shame;
The other, aiming higher yet,
Is deaf and blind to blame.
Press on, ye stalwart soldiers,
To all corruption kind!
But why is Garfield taken,
And Colfax left behinda
For equal crime they were condemned.
Charged by the general voice:
But of the sinful twain, the worst
Is now his party's choice.
United in corruption's bonds,
Let both succeed or fail;
But why should Schuyler Colfax sink,
When Garfield rides the gale.
Then weave, ye stalwart weayers.
Corruption's warp and welt!
And why is Garfield taken,
And why is Colfax left!

All this, be it remembered, occurred
after the investigation had begun-af-
ter James A. Garfield had sworn that
he "never owned, received, or agreed
to receive any stock of the Credit Mo-
bilier or of the Union Pacific Railroad,
nor any dividends or profits arising
from either of them"
And after Garfield had sworn to this
falsehood, a Republican committee of

of bis own political and personal friends,
and with Judge Poland, of Vermont, as
its Chairman, branded him forever ~

The great secret of Roscoe Conkling's sue.
cess is his fidelity to friendship. He never
deserts a man who espouses bis cause under
any circumstances whatever. He never drops
an old friend to make a new one, and the
man who does his work IS absolutely certain
of reward when the power of comforting it is
within Conkling's reach. The appointment
of Justice Ward Hunt was in exact accord
ance with the policy of Conkling's life. He
never forgives an enemy n never forgets
the man who has betrayed him. No second
endeavor on the part of such an one to secure
his friendship counts for anything with him.
Perhaps ex-Lieutenant Governor Stewart L.
WoodfOrd illustrates this truth as we'll as any
man. Conkling is an 'uncompromising man,
and it is said that in partisanship the man
who fights and never comprises never lacks of
followers. He is an attractive speaker, but is
not one to awaken any enthusiasm. while he
may and does appeal to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
because he always seems to be speaking from
the head and never from the heart. 1t is said
that he never extemporizes, invariably COM
uniting to memory every word he utters. To
this work he brings a rare skill, and apparent
ly is able to forecast the probable speeches OF
his opponents and to prepare answers to them,
so that he appears to the nearer as a most
capable controversialist. The defects of an
early education, that was by no means fin
ished, still cling to him, and in 1872 he
rounded a rhetorical period with 'the larbor
Of Madrid" His speech-making power is
the accomplishment of a life of study in that
direction. At twenty-five he is said to have
been able to repeat from memory-which is a
prodigious faculty with him-two-thirds of
Burke's speeches and a fair portion of Graf
tan's and in 1869, while riding on a Pullman
car to the Pacific, he entertained his company
by reciting the whole of Scott's "Lady of the
Lake" without the dropping of a word. His
industry is marvellous, and it is said that from
his youth he has worked more hours every
day than the mass are accustomed to in two
and, finally, his %neighbols say that he has few
of the smaller vices Of mankind and only one
of the larger!
