taking wise course there may be no justi-
fication in law for the course of the tenants,
but those whose expenditures have been un-
limited hitherto, must sooner or later open
their eyes to the fact that this teeming land
of the West, by the aid of steam, is at their
doors, and these busy workshops Of America
are year by year curtailing the purchasing
power of the Irish and English farmers Gus
toners, and the only thing for it is less mon
ey to spend on the part of landowners. But
we have said above that the place Of the ten
ant unable to pay to-day is ready to be taken
by another who will pay. Yes, ready to be
taken by one who will promise to pay, and no
doubt means to pay, but who, just SO sure as
the sun rises, after he sinks his little capital
will come to grief as his predecessor did. This
is the way of human nature. The fact that q
half dozen grocers have failed in village
simply and only because there were too many
grocers does not prevent number seven from
attempting the impossible commercial feat.

tend to give the people large and broad

Mr.. Lynch, Republican candidate for Con-
gresham in the "shoe-string district" of
Mississippi, is not waiting for Congress to in
vestigate the frauds by which he was counted
out, With a courage which does him great
credit, he has taken the matter into the Unit
cd States court, and has caused the arrest of
the county commissioners of Warren county,
who, acting as a canvassing board, threw out
Pope votes cast and duly returned for him, on
the prctext that there were Distinguishing
marks upon them and that they were illegal
under the State statute. The distinguishing
marks" were four ordinary printers dash
lines separating the different portions of the
ticket. The tickets were received and count
ed by the poll judges, whose duty it is to re-
ject illegal ballots but when it was found
that, in spite of the frauds practised in other
counties of the district, Mr.. Lynch had con
siderable majority, the friends of Gen. Chal-
mers saw that something must be done. Sc
the Warren county commissioners, all strong
pats and personal associates of Chalmers,
committed this impudent and glazing crime
against the suffrage, Their performance is SC

He claims that the present Administration

policy shall be continued the final settlement

this subject may soon be expected. He re-

shall pass some law to prevent the destruction
of timber upon the public domain, and makes
additional suggestions as to the way in which
American forests may be preserved. He re-

this article defines the position which the Re

clear. New laws should he passed for the

\. VI. WaiIe'a Case.

On Monday of this week U. S. Marshal
Henry went to Newfane for the purpose of
removing S. NJ. Waite to Rutland, that he
might be arraigned before the United States
circuit court at its special session on Tuesday.
He found him very weak and still suffering
from his attack of chronic pneumonia, and
too i'll to be taken from his present quarters.
The physician who attends him, DR.. How
ard did not deem it safe to remove him, and
General Henry was fully satisfied that his
prisoner was in a critical condition. Judge
Wheeler came to BrattleborO at the same
time with General Henry, Tuesday morning,
and directed the Marshal to proceed to Rut-
land and adjourn the court to Tuesday, the
2lst inst Mr. Waite expressed his perfect
willingness to go to Rutland and be arraigned
before the court as soon as it was deemed
prudent without endangering his life. Gen
eral Henry reports him as being much broken
down both physically and mentally, with but
little courage remaining.

Reports from the West say that some of
the negroes who have gone to Kansas from
the South have already greatly improved
their condition. Large numbers of them
went to Topeka, and not only was work found

The half has not been told about Barnum's
lying for the benefit of Hancock in the Pa
cihc states. Late numbers of newspapers
from that section show that his recklessness
almost surpasses credulity. On October 81
he sent a long despatch in which he gave his
personal assurance that Hancock would carry
New York state by 30, 600 majority; that all
reports of betting in favor of Garfield were
spurious, and added The assertion that the
Garfield letter is forgery is no longer seri-
ously made, and the whole effort of the Re
publicans managers and press, is now to di-
vert attention from the subject" This was a
pretty fair-sized lie, but on the following day
Barnum eclipsed it with this stupendous
one: Senator Barnum, chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic committee, was interview
ed to-day, at his home, in relation to the Gar
field labor letter. He said; The genuine
ness of that letter is so fully established that
it should be daily impressed on the minds of
those who could be affected by the policy it
declares. Acts and circumstances clearly es-
tablish the guilt of Garfield as the author OF
the letter which he tardily repudiated. He
has himself described the sentiments of this
letter as stupid and brutal, although he very
distinctly advocates them in Congress. The
Chinese labor question directly Affects every
industrious citizen. The present attitude OF
the Republicans is that while pretending
great friendship for the laboring man, they
| favor the election of candidate who ID the
advocate of policy which would reduce our
artisans TO the level of coolies for the benefit
of the monopolist'" There was more to the
same effect, but this is enough to establish
Barnum as the champion liar of his time. -
