Too much depends upon Demo
cratic majority in the next House Of
Representatives, for any true man
one moment to think Of fputting him
self in opposition to the party. The
men who run against regularly nomi-
mated candidates. are really working
in the interest of the Radical party
and though they may protest against
being identified with the party. they
are none the less, in effect, its ally,
and whatever harm they may do
will be to the advantage of the par.
ty that has impoverished and rob.
eed the people.


On the next Congressional cleo
ton depends two questions of very
great Importance First. the con-
troll Of the Legislative branch of the
general Government. The Radicals
have the Eexecutive Department
through the most shameful. infamous
fraud. They have the Judiciary,
and if they carry the election they
will have possession of the House.
The result of the approaching cleo.
tIon may really decide the question
of the Presidency in 1880. The man
who refuses to do his party duty in
the fall canvass and at the polls in
November, may never be able to
repair the damage, and may secure
for the Radicals CONTROL Of the
House of Representatives, and in
doing that may give the Presidency
to the great enemy OF the South and
of civil liberty. Remember that one
vote may decide the election of a
member of Congress. Remember
that one vote may decide the ques-
ton of q majority Ia the House of
Representatives. Remember that a
majority of one in the House may
decide who shall be President after
March 4, 1881.


All things point to Grant as the
Radical nominee, and everything
should be subordinated to getting a
majority in the Congress to prevent
his being unfairly counted in, in case



he is defeated. as Hayes was. If
he ever gets into the Presidential
chair again he viii never voluntarily
retire from it. and the Liberties Of
the people will be forever gone.

National Associated Press to the Star.


OTTAWA, ONT, July 31.-Mr. It. White,
Secretary of the State Department, which
has charge of the mounted police, returned
Saturday from visit to ports Washington
and Mcleod. He says the reports from
American sources of dissatisfaction among
the Indians are grossly exaggerated, and
that there is no reason to fear any trouble.


MONTREAL, July 31.-The preliminary in
men who were arrested on the 18th inst,
came up yesterday and was adjourned. The
criminal prosecutions are to be dropped,
and the cases are to be carried to the Privy
Council in England for final settlement.


TORONTO, ONT, July 31.-The Globe is
very enthusiastic over the Marquis of
Lornes appointment. Among other things,
it says: "As matter Of course Lord Lorne s
appointment will be received in Canada
with universal joy. Her Majesty and her
counselors have displayed the utmost good
will towards the Dominion in the choice
they have made No selection could have
shown greater confidence in the future of
this country, and none could be more bene-
fetal. 1t will turn all eyes toward Canada.
1t will bring thousands of tourists
to admire our natural scenery and
study our material resources, and
will secure for us even greater
share than otherwise we would have had of
the great emigration which must necessarily
take place, when active prosperity is again
made manifest on this continent. We are
sure that every inhabitant of Canada of
whatever origin, will receive with gratitude
this latest exhibition of the Queen of the
kindly goodwill which she has always shown
toward the Dominion. The Marquis will
unquestionably prove an excellent Consti-
tutional ruler, and the presence of the
daughter of the Queen will bring joy to the
hearts of thousands of loyal Canadians The
may be permanent, and the
experiment may never be repeated, but no
harm seems likely to arise from the ap-
pointment."

Deputy Sheriff Joe Moses returned late
last night from Columbus, whittier he had
taken eighteen prisoners, among them the
notoriously dangerous man, John Doe.


Mr.. Moses said that he had no difficulty
with the prisoners on the road, although hs
was somewhat afraid of Doe, who kept on .
continuous conversation with Hall, the bur
glar, sentenced for four years. Joe juss
caught the early train on the Little Miami
Road in time to get his prisoners safely
seated and shackled.


The mems only complaint was that they
were taken from their cells before they
could get their breakfast, but they soon be-
came satisfied when the Deputy Sheriff
gave them each pie and two glasses OF
whisky.


Joe says that Doe was completely taicca
by surprise when told to get up and maks
ready for his trip to Columbus, and hs
himself was heartily glad that he had noth-
ing more to do with his prisoner after haE-
ing safely Gagged him.

Placards appeared in the windows OF
most Of the retail houses in town this morn
ing announcing that the stores would close
at 6 O'Clock until September 1st, except on
Saturdays.


This step meets with the approval Of
nearly all business men. and shows gen.
erosity on the part of those who have
agreed to give their employees spare hour
in the afternoon, which will be certain to
gain them patronage. We may complain
in gloomy moments that the public fails to
notice acLs OF this character, but naturally
there is a disposition on the part OF the
good people OF Richmond generally to see
fair play, and we predict that in less than
one week those merchants who think they
can capture a late dollar by trapping it in
the dark will find that it is the early bird
only who gets away with the prize. A list
OF merchants who close at will be found
in another column. Doubtless purchasers
will make point of finding the merchants
themselves before o'clock, and those who
keep open later will find themselves wanting.

THE CENTENARY EXCUEsIOS.-On Thurs

make this one OF the most delightful trips
they have ever gotten up. At Old Point
General Getty has promised that the Artil-

who may not have escorts and are desirous
