A MISERABLE FALsIFIER.

The attention of the citizens of
Austin, who are familiar with the
matter, is directed to the communica-
ton of A. r. Gossrad, with accom-
panying extract from the Champagne
County, Qll.) Gazette, of November
10, to be found in another column.
Mr.. Gossard, now a resident Of Aus
tin, formerly lived in Ohio, and de-
MES the statement of a correspondent
of the Gazette that shot-guns were
used at the polls in Austin, election
day. The communication to the Ga
zette denouncing the citizens of Aus
tin, is so utterly false and contempt
ible as to make any denial unneces-
sary, only from the fact that it has
been published among strangers who
do not know us, and may, therefore, be
misled by the mendacious rascal,
who is too cowardly to sign his name.
The peripatitic falsi6er in the Gazette
says men were stationed at the polls
in Austin with shot-guns to intimi-
date honest voters; that the negroes
were forced to vote as the white men
directed and ordered, and that the
democrats of Austin are Boosting how
they intend to put the negroes back
into slavery and subdue the yankees.
1t may be asserted, and every honest
citizen of Austin will corroborate
the fact, that here, as elsewhere
throughout the state. every man
white and colored, voted as he pleased,
with no one to question him. Further
than that, nobody here has boosted of
enslaving the negroes, or "subduing
the yankees" AS to the negroes, the
white people of the south would not,
if they could, enslave them. Slavery
is impossible. The writer in the Ga
zette has simply concocted u lot of
disgraceful and utterly inexcusable
falsehoods as base as the obscure
wretch who penned them.

LEMAN-BRAND CASE.

The decision of this case has again
called the attention of the country to
the republican Style of doing business,
especially of the electoral kinda
fashion that finds its most apt illustra-
ton in the crime of 1S76-which the
people have just avenged at the polls.
The chief difference between the
Hayes fraud and the recent Illinois
steal is magnitude, while the principle
in both is the same. In one case the
plumber carried off by the republi-
cans was the presidency; in the
present instance, the pelf is a Uni
ted States senatorship from Illinois,
That is about what it amounts to, and

To Make Firm Butter

A California correspondent says: If
butter does not come firm it may be
improved by keeping it in the brine a
short time before working. Butter
that comes soft from the churn will
not be of first quality. Salt makes
butter yellow, any portion not sailed
remains lighter in color. This makes
1t streaked and is the reason given
for working it the second time. Wash.
ing it in brine before it is
gathered aids in securing uni
formity in color-also in freeing it
from milk. TO keep any length of
time, butter must be perfectly freed
from milk. 1t is common practice
in some diaries to salt and partly
work butter when churned, and finish
the working the next day. This
breaks the grain, removes the brine
which would remain in the butter to
keep it cool and sweet, subjecting the
dairyman to loss in weight

their owners. Until this impression

sonthdown sheep.

The Georgia Commission OF Ggri.
culture has the following concerning
this popular breed of sheep:
This is more celebrated as NUT
ton sheep than any other variety, is
very distinctive in its type, compacJ
and symmetrical in form, medium in
size of body and length and yield OF

1T is remarkable more for the quail

breeds and moderately prolific.
Like the Cotswold. the Southdown
is strictly a farm sheep, adapted only
to enclosed pastures where a liberal
bite of grass can be had and where
proper care and attention will be
bestowed.
srhe distinct features of the South
down are its symmetrical, compact
form, the superior fine texture and
the julciness of the mutton, its smooth,
close coat of wool and its black face

CONGRESS,

Few sessions have opened more
quietly, OF in a more business-like way
than the present. Some Of the great
questions to be considered, and that
demand immediate attention, have al
ready been preached, yet with less Of
noise and fuss than of quiet and ap-
parent determination to deal with the
issues of the hour. Among important
subjects already touched upon is the
question of forfeiture of railroad land
grants, by reason of noncompliance
of the roads with the terms of the
privileges granted by the government,
and their failure to complete con
struction in the time specified by con-
gress as the condition of the grants
No wonder this subject has worried

and increasing in value every day
amounting to millions on millions OF
dollars-are in controversy, the ques-
ton being whether the vast railroad

tracts of territory without having at
least technically complied with the
terms of their donation by the govern.
ment, or whether the lands shall be
returned to the public domain
and held FOR use Of the
people and emigrant settlement
Evidently the roads, however, will
not be satisfied if congress decide
against them, but the matter will be
appealed to the supreme court of the
United States, where many years may
pass before finality can be reached
The great subject of the tariff has not
been entered upon, the closest approach
to it being the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Morris, in the house, a day or two
ago, for applying to bond redemption
and extinguishment of the public
debt, $359,0O0000 of the prodigious
cash surplus now in the treasury

THE GOVERNMENT SURPLUS.

The secretary of the federal treasury
has completed his task OF balancing
the government accounts. The
sums appearing in his report are of
such magnitude as to make an ordi-
nary mortal dizzy. The balance sheet
shows the receipts and expenditures
during the last fiscal year. The net
revenue of the government was less
By $49, 767, 712,-in other words the
people have been allowed to retain
that much more of their earnings than
was heretofore admissible. When
it is remembered that this
$50,O00,O00, speaking in round
nubers, is the annual yield
at Fer cent. of $1,O0O,O0O.O00 we may
understand how great the relief
would be under taxation fixed alone
for purposes of revenue. When the
other side of the account is examined,
and it is found, that after paying all
governmental expenditures, a surplus
of $100OCO,OO0 was on hand, the ma
jority of the extortions practlced by
the republican party may be compre-
hended. Such a comparison shows
what vast sums were taken from the
people without reason, and shows
how-reasonable is the proposition to
put an end to such collection of revC-
une. 1t may be said that this surplus
has gone back to the people, but this
is untrue, Some of it went abroad
to pay the foreign holders of the debt.
So that even in this narrow and in
many ways mistaken view of the
operation, there was distinct disad-
vantage in this uncalled-for payment
of the debt. Again, the money which
was paid out at home did not return,
save in very small part. to those from
whom it was collected. 1t went.
moreover, largely to those who did
not want it, and who could use the
bonds representing the debt to better
advantage than they could use the
money, while those who paid the
greater part of the taxes were def
nitely crippled by their payment. Says
the New York Times, at must
be remembered that the debt
is simply the unpaid loss of
the war. Its payment is an I'M
qualified and, in purely economical
sense. an uncompensated loss. 1t re-
presents nothing but destruction or
the payment for the service of men
employed in the work of destruction.
There is no reason why this genera
ton should bear so much of the debt.
The evil of the rapid payment of the
debt is aggravated by the manner in
which great part of the money is
collected. 1t is gathered by means of
taxes so i'll distributed that they fall
heaviest on those least able to pay
them, and fall also on those occupa-
lions which, by this extortion, are not

revolving fraud hidden behind
the decision of the local
canvassing board. Looking through
Republican glasses the awful fraud
whereby Leman, the republican as
pirant, was magnified in proportion to
the largeness of the prize which his ex-
cellency knew depended upon the con-
test. The fact that the balance of
power in the state senate turned upon
the question whether Bran! OF Leman
took his seat in body which will
elect Logan's successor, sharpened the
governors vision to preceive all Sorts
OF horrible rascalities, not in his

Gratis of Chicago. When all the
facts of the Brand Leman con-
test are considered-the going
behind the action of canvassing

Illinois chief executive to find pre-.
text for annulling their decision
the affair will be stamped as one of the
dirtiest pieces of work attempted fol
long time by republican governor

Cooking Out the Sugar.

Dr.. Kedsie says: In cooking acid
fruits housekeepers unwittingly waste
a good part of the sugar. Anxious to
get the fullest effect of the sugar upon
the small fruits, they boil the two to-
gether, and thus convert most of the
cane sugar into grape sugar. Several
years ago my assistant IN chemistry
tested this matter by placing one hun
dred parts of ripe gooseberries in a
stewpan with water to cover them
added twenty-five parts of sugar and
cooked the fruit. A second portion of
the same berries was cooked with SUI
gar, and after the fruit was partially
cooked the 25 parts of sugar added,
and when the sugar had dissolved
both samples of cooked fruit were
analysed, when one-balf the
sugar in the first batch
was converted into glucose, and
only one-tenth of the cane sugar in
the second batch was thus changed.
If the gooseberries had been green,
the results would have been more
striking. If very acid fruits, like
curranJs and cranberries, are rapidly
cooked by boiling, and then set to cool
for a few minutes and the sugar
added. fine jelly-like mass will be
found when the sauce is cJld, very
different from the watery mess SO
often seen. In making preserves, the
same principles hold good for the
most part, though preserves are more
apt to work or ferment if sugar is not
cooked with the fruit. In this case it
is better to steam the fruit till it is so
tender that straw may penetrate it,
then put the fruit into cans, add the
sugar and seal up at onca. Three
pounds of sugar for four pounds of
fruit will be ample.
