full time, and can not fill their orders.
The Hibernia Railroad Company are
running more ore over their road for
shipment than ever before. They carried
eight hundred tons one day last week,
and are averaging five hundred tons per
day. This company has built a handsome
iron bridge where their road crosses the
canal, and propose to do the same where
it crosses the Rockaway river.
Wages have advanced at the mines to
$1.75 per day. and everybody has plenty
of work and good pay, except the rail-
road men, who are still working for 90
cents.
Mr.. A. W. shawger is engaged on his
large contract of moving the 1900 tons
of ore from the Mount Hope docks to
the depot, whence it is being shipped
to Allentown, Pa, at the rate of about
sixty tons per day.
Our citizens having ice houses are tax
ing advantage of the cold snap and are
gathering ice in large quantities. The
Juveniles are in their glory.
Joseph Zindle, who was seriously ine
jured on Saturday last by being run over
by wagon from which he had been
thrown, is rapidly improving, and will
soon be around.
The temporary excitement caused by
rumors of the new railroads advent in
Rockaway has somewhat subsidized, and
all are awaiting its arrival.
Although the Spring election is almost
at hand, there is but little handshaking
and but few office seekers abroad. Your
correspondent was somewhat chagrined
on Saturday when couple of gentlemen
stopped at the door whom it was conf>
IDENTIFY supposed were Office seekers with
bar'l of money, to find only an editor
seeking for news. VETERAN.

question above all other questions in this coun-
try is the question of the free ballot. We can
go through again, if need be, another war, we
can so through again, if need be, another
period of depression, and poverty, and want.
and hard times, like chat through which we
have emerged but we cannot permit the ballot
box, by which the American people expresses
its will, to be tainted with fraud. l have no
patience with themen, whether they are DEM
ocratic politicians, whether they are Independ-
cnt essayists or whether they are Republican
Doctors of Divinity, who would seek TO diver.
the attention of the people from this ISSUE In
1868, 10000 fraudulent naturalization papel,s
were issued in the State of New York, and sent
i'll blank broadcast over New York, and Con-
necticut, and New Jersey. You know the his
tory of the political massacre in Louisiana
you know the history of Vicksblug should
like to ask these gentlemen who say that this
question, which the American people feel so
deeply, is only raised by dishonest politicians
for political ends, or those men who declare
that it is better for the negro that he should
not vote, to answer a few questions Has
there been any massacre at Vicksburg? Did
Chlsolm die on his bed, or was he murdered?
Have his murderers been convicted, or are they
at larger Was Dixon shot in the back? Were
there any tissue ballots in South Carolina
Was there any attempt to steal an entire State
Government at once in the State of Maine or
not? Are these things public dangers, or are
they not? Gentlemen criticise what they call
The speech of politicians, and laugh to scorn
the Republican speakers when they tell you that
these things constitute danger to the republic.
My friends, the republic would be in no danger
if all the powers of the earth should combine
to make an assault upon her doors she is in
danger only when her people, under the press
ure of great temptation or of party spirit,
are themselves tempted to do wrong. That is
what constitutes crisis in its history 1t is not
the gale or the rock, it is the teredo and the
dryrot which our ship of state alone has to fear.
These gentlemen pay their tithes of mint and
anise and cummin, and neglect the weightier
matters of the law. They are blind guides.
and should like to have them take this for
text: "Ye blind guides, who strain at gnat
and swallow camel"
