A gentleman Of our city bought a
dozen or SO chickens from farmer liv-
ing 60 miles from this city recently,
and afterwards found them some eight
chickens less than the number paid for.
Surprising he had been "done for" by
the farmer, he forgot the matter until a
few days after he was surprised to have
call from the farmer who brought In
the eight chickens, saying he had just
found he had been paid too much money
and had come all the way back to make
good the trade.

One of the most interesting political

One OF the most interesting political
studies at the present writing. and
one of the most abstruse of conun-
drums is that which this week the &C.
tion of the Republican body of the
House of Congress brought prominence
before the nation. While the party
has been for years, to use a phrase
term. banking upon its friendship to
the soldiers, and with the liberal and
hearty assistance of the Democrats,
appropriating millions for the pensions
of soldiers of tho late war of the re-
hellion, when the bill for the pension
ing of the few remaining heroes of
the Mexican war was this week pre-
sented, the nation was subjected to the
disgraceful spectacle of the Repnbli-
can members not all of them but enough
% cast the odium upon the party they
represented, essaying in their violent
opposition to the same. to deprive that
Legislative body of the power to act,
and so violent In their demeanor as
almost to perpetuate a pot-house po-
litical brawl upon the sacred floors of
the Capitol of the nation. The Ser.
geant alarms was necessitated to
adopt the insignia Of his Office, ami
even then it was with the greatest diff.
ficulty that the mad partlsans we're
compelled to order. Why is it that
the Republican party is so vehement
in their opposition to the recognition
oe these old veterans7 Our only so
luton of the question is, that there are
SO few of them left alive that their
votes could not count either one way
or the other in an ordinarily popula-
ted county in any doubtful State In the
Union. Yet these men and that war
achieved vast source of power to the
United States. Our country thirty
eight years ago was not the distinctive
power among nations that this new
year acknowledges it to be. 1t was
just growing to be of sufficient strength
as Republic to awaken jealousy, and
was just sufficiently unfedged to al.
lure, if handicapped, foreign hawks of
prey. The swift, resolute, and rapid
manner In which the United States
conquered Mexico, not only taught the
immediate nations about us the full
ity of engaging in further hostilities
or hostile demonstrations, but awoke
other and larger nations abroad to ;he
fact that our Republic was fact that
stood upon a determined basis; and
further still, 1t brought into the list OF
States Texas State designed by ma
ture, as it is by extent, to be the EN-
pire commonwealth of the Union.
And these are but few of the great
results of tie Mexican war. Why
then, we again inquire, is it that the
Republican party through its political
representatives, so abhor the few men
left, who effected such grand results
unless it be as we have stated in the
premises, that their number is so mea
ger that their votes will not count on
election oay?-American Register.

NoRwALK. March 5.-The absorbing
topic of conversation on the streets to-
day has been the defalcation and dis
appearance of our County Treasurer,
a. brief notice of which I telegraphed
you. The facts ascertained to date
are briefly these: A suspicion of
wrong was created Monday morning
by the absence of Mr.. Van Fleet
Some OF the township treasurers came
to town to draw their portion of the
funds. and the Treasurer could not be
found. Yesterday parties went to
Wakeman, his former home, but moth
ing could be learned there.
This morning the Commissioners
authorized D. A. Baker, Jr., cashier
of the First National Bank to open
the safes, he having ascertained the
combination from Mrs Van Fleet. On
opening the safe the money was all
gone except $274 in silver. There
had been money left by different par.
ties to pay their June tax, and the en-
velopes containing this were opened
and empty.
How much was taken has not been
ascertained, hut it will not be far from
S6O,000. He had settled with the
State Treasurer last week, the sum
paid being about $l9.l6O.04.
The city had drawn its funds and
placed them in bank, also the treas
urer of the Union school district, 80
that they lose nothing. One or two
of the townships had also drawn their
funds.
Among the papers found was a
draft for $4,000, paid to a Boston
tirn, thus indicative that the Treas
urer had fallen victim to the mania
for speculation.

A New Use for the Trade Dollar.

Senator Maxey has prepared an amendment
to the house bill for tho retirement of the
trade dollar, which provides that after Jan.
/, 1885, trade dollars shall be received on de-
posit at ali United States repositories, and,
together with all h slf dollars, quarter dollars,
and dimes now coined and in the treasury, or
which may hereafter como into the treasury,
and all other silver which after the said date
may be purchased for coinage by the secretary
of the treasury, shall be sent to the mints and
coined into half dollars, each of which shall
contain 206t grains of standard silver, and
that such coins shall be legal tender To any
amount for debts, public or private.
1t provides, however, that tho secretary of
the treasury may, in his discretion, continue
under existing law the coinage of quarters
and dimes, which shall, however, contain
respectively one-fourth and one.tenth of the
standard silver now contained in the standard
dollar, aud that all of said quarters and dimes
shall be legal tender to any amount for all
public and private debts
1t provides also for the issue by the secre-
tary of the treasury of silver certificates based
upon the half dollars, quarters, and dimes
thus provided for in the same manner as ia
required by law in the case of the silver
dollar.
