since Saturday has been colder and
rains have occurred almost every day,
and prospects are less favorable again
to corn, though reports rs to wheat
continue cheerful. The Pioneer Press

Red River valley, which agree in the
statement that wheat is in the best pos
sible condition where rain has reached.

THE ASSESSMENTS.

Quite fiutter of excitement occur.
red at the government printing office
to-day, occasioned by the circulation
of the notice of the republican con-
gressional committee for the first regu-
lar campaign assessment. Every male
employe in the office got one of these
notices, which are signed by Hender-
son, secretary. Even the boys, who
earn but one dollar day and are sub
ject to furlough at any time. without
pay, were notified that seven dollars
was what was expected from each Of
them. This is carrying political assess
ments further than has ever been done
before. Ir has been customary to omit
those persons who are receiving less
than 81 900 a year from the list of as
sessable civil service victims, but the
necessities of the present appear to de-
mand more sweeping collection. a
member of the committee says that a
large proportion of the percentage will
be promptly paid. that the Pennsyl-
vania campaign will take good deal
of money, and that it is likely upward
of 81 ,000, 900 viii be raised altogether.

IN THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL
The latest phase Of the star route

part of the prosecution not to leave
anything undone to secure fair YER
dict frorn the jury. A certain member
Of the twelve men who are intrusted
with this duty, has, it is said, been in
the habit of associating too freely y with
many suspicious acqualntances. Two
special agents of the department OF
justice have been assigned the task of
watching and reporting his movements.
From the time he leaves the jury box
until the court reconvenes he is under
constant espionage, and every move
ment he shakes is reported and turned
over the next day to the government
COUNSEL. 1t is presumed that he is not
aware of the watch kept upon him, as
thus far he has made no attempt to
vary from his usual practices about

occasions been seen in company with
persons interested in the star route de-
PENDANTS is well known to the govern
ment counsel, who suggested that he
should be shadowed by the special
officers, as above.

Prof. Tyndall says that 5000 years or
so will carry the Horseshoe Fall high
er than Goat Island, aud, as the gorge
recedes, it viii drain, as it has hitherto
done, the banks right and left of it,
thus leaving nearly level terrace be-
tween Goat Island and the edge of the
gorge; higher up it will totally drain
the American branch of the river; the
channel will become cultivable land /;
the American falls will then be trans
formed into dry precipice, forming a
continuation of the cliffy boundary of
the river Niagara, and, lastly, at the
place at present occupied by the fall,
there will be whirlpool.

In 1864, says the Augusta (Georgia)
Chronicle, while General Sherman was
passing through that section, the Kings,
a wealthy family of Roswell, owned a
factory worth about $4,000 In order
to keep Sherman from burning is, they
transferred it without consideration to
Theophile Roche, Frenchman en-
ployed in the factory; whereupon the
Frenchman raised the French flag upon
the property, and claimed protection Of
the property under it. Sherman disre-
garded the flag and burned down the
factory and put Roche under arrest.
Roche now sues the United States for
$50, 200 and interest, damage for the
destruction of the property, and $50, 600
for his arrest and Imprisonment, the
interest and all now aggregating about
$l25,O00.

BTLLDosING AT VALLEJO.

There is Government Navy Yard at
Vallejo, California, where several hum
bred persons are employed constantly.
These persons are paid out of the pub
lie Treasury, to which everybody con-
tributes proportionately, regardless Of
their political predictions. Notwith-
standing this fact, the Navy Yard has
been used for years by the politicians
intrusted with the management of its
affairs to further party interests. In
1868, what was called the ''tape-worm
ticket" was introduced there on elec-
tion day and the employees of the Gov
eminent instructed to vote it, under
penalty of being discharged from the
employment of the United States.
This system of bulldosing those who
were obliged to work for the Govern
ment in the Navy Yard, became so
VIGOROUSLY outrageous that the Sacra-
mento Union, then the ablest as well
as the most independent newspaper on
the coast, took the matter up in behalf
of the workmen at the Navy Yard, de-
nounced the officials who enforced it,
and advocated the passage of an Act for
uniform ballots at elections. The ac-
ton of the officials was made so odious
by the Union, and other papers, that
no attempt at bulldosing was made at
the Navy Yard for years, and Vallejo
actually gave Hancock a majority in
1880. This year, it appears, the old
system was revived. All the men en-
ployed at the yard were instructed to
go to the Republican table and each
one get ticket and hold it in sight OF
a row of spoilers until it was voted.
The men who did not obey these orders
were checked for discharge; but most
of them voted as instructed rather than
be thrown out of employment. 1t is
said by the Sacramento Bee, Repub-
lican paper, that the election thus ma
nipulated will be contested.
Honest men of all parties who be-
lieve that the right OF American citi-
zens to vote as they please should be
unquestioned, can not do otherwise
than condemn the system in vogue at
Vallejo. The fact that it is practiced
by the party who proclaim from the
stump against bulldozing in the South,
only makes the matter worse, as it but
proves the insincerity of their asser-
tions. Neither will the assertion that
the Democrats, if in power, would use
the same means to intimidate voters,
excuse the Vallejo officials, as no party
should be permitted to compel men in
the employ of the United States to
vote for individuals or party against
their will under penalty of being dis
charged from employment.
