The refusal OF the independent
State Committee 10 entertain any
proposition submitted by the Re
publican party means, ofcoCrse, war
10 the knife and knife to the hilt.
The little game Of hrag has been
carried to the limitand it has become
time to see what there is init. Even
the Independents themselves IN their
widest visions Of power have not
ventured to think they composed
the majority Of the Republican par
ty; the letter adopted, sentand pub.
lished, in which they refuse all Off
GERS OF ofcompr0mise, admits in almost
express terms that they are fully
aware OF their numerical inferiori-
ority. They have become satisfied
that they cannot run the party, the
only other vent to their unrighteous
ambition is to see whether they can
ruin it. To pretend that the at
tempt is of no importance is to make
4 foolish pretense or to blindly ig-
more existing facts. Mckee ard his
followers, like Arabi Pasha of Egypt,
claim to be the embodiment of ali
that is good, pure and patriotic !;
that all other persons are infidels
or heretics of the true faith and
they stand ready to annihilate. if in
their power, those gho would main
tain peace, order and national integ-
rity. History and all experience
has shown the utter folly of rebellion
in these days of respect to legitimate
authority in either State or party.
Scenes of the wild confusion some
times follow such fanatical out
breaks: scenes in which there is
much lost alike To the loyal and to
the unpatriotic, bat the end is the
same, the triumph of legitimate gov
ernment. In this state The people
have spoken. and their authority is
legitimate and supreme. They have
placed in nomination TIER candi-
dates for Office, with that tried and
true patriot and soldier, Gen. Bea-

Terr,nle Explosion a. Chicago

CHICAGO, July "a terrific *
plosien Of giant powder occurred
shortly before 8 O'Clock this evening
1T "a stone quarry on the northwest T.
ern outskirts Of the city. The shock
was plainly felt all over the civ.
\ workman went to the powder
house containing one thousand
pounds Of giant posder and one
thousand FIVE hundred pounds blast
ing powder. he took out n twenty
five pound can, left the door open,
and, setting the can on the ground.
proceeded To open il with 4 cold
chisel. The result was spark, and
the can exploded. Sparks from
this entered the powder-house. where
some of the cans stood open. and
caused a second explosion, which
tore the building into such minute
fragments tha: the pieces did no
damage as far as heard from. Peo-
Pile were knocked down by the con
cussion many blocks away. M
one was killed but several seriously
Injured.

THE Independent Committee at
its meeting last week was the most
thoroughly hossed assemblage that
ever met in this State. Il was not
permitted to do anything but adopt
reply to Chairman Cooper, which
Wharton Barker had cut and dry,
and already in print, and read to
the members as their reply.

Pattison never fought for anything
except office. He has one good Oh

General Beaver has none, although

THERE is apparently 70 be no re
duction oi Internal Revenue taxes
this year. The bill reported for that
purpose was so amended by the
Democrats in Congress, that it was
practically useless, and has been In
definitely postponed by n solid
Democratic vote, aided by few Re-
publicans. This is the way the
Democrats lessen the burdens of the
people, over which they so mourn
fully howl.

the handful OF maloontent- and

not only given them some import

public estimation. We must now
show that it was 4 consciousness ol
our own power and a sentiment o
magnanimity, and not fear, or any
innate weakness. that induced ou
leaders to attempt to conciiiate the
growlers and kickers. These men
were determined from the first to
betray the party. They fancy that
if they cannot rule they can ruin it.
and it remains for US to show that
they can DO neither.
They are actuated by no principle
and they have no cause of grievance.
They cannot successfully impugn
the character or standing Of any OF
our candidates. the method or fair
ness of their nomination, or their
ability to discharge the trusts which
we propose to place in their hands.
They DO not pretend to be aGie 10

magnified ,heirown Importance, and
have been fiattered and patted on
the back by the Democrats until
they fancy they hold the balance oi
power in the State. and can hand it
over to our ancient and lifelong ca
enies. So have thought traitors
ever since the world began, and yet
treason to principle. to country, Or
to God has never yet been successful.

that reconstructed the Union, and
mas ruled It so happily and Justly

of pigmies that have taken up the

there is nothing left OF them except

defeat. The Greeley revolt, and the
Greenback movement, supported as

of failures. The hard common sense

Dog Days.

1--we
People commonly speak of dog day
weather with little idea as to its sig
nificance or the origin of the term. 1t
used to be considered that the rising
and setting of Sirius. known as the
dog star, effected the season which is
given in the almanacs as dOg-days. 1t
is said that evidences of this opinion
may be found in the writings of HO-
mer, HippOcrates, Virgil and Pliny,
and curious phenomena were ascribed
to this star, when, after being in con-
junction with the sun, and consequent
ly invisible, it rose so much before the
sun as to be visible in the eastern hOri-
zOn in the morning twilight. This
idea did not long prevail, as the stars
rising in this manner in any one yeaI
varies as the latitude varies, and on
account of the procession of the equi-
noxes, it is later and later every veal
in all ATTITUDES, so that, in the progress
of time, the star might, by similar
rule, be charged with producing frOst
and snow instead of scOrching heats
and burning fevers which were sup,
posed to result therefrOm. AS our al
MANAGES now tabulate them, the dog
days are put about month earlier thai
they would be if they were still regu
lated by the rising of Sirius before thu
sun and thus they are made to CORE
spond with the hot weather, as the,
did formerly. Many years ago dog
days were reckOned in our almanac
from July 30 to September Z. Nov
thay are arranged to depend on tn
summer sOlstice and not on the varia
BILE rising of any particular star, ant
begin July 3, twelve days after tn
summer solstice and end August l.
fifty one days after the summer sOlstice
their continuance, therefore, bein
thirty nine days.
