Republicans must go! This is as much

and "The Utes must go!" with the Colora-

brilliant the talents or quiet the deport-

like sleepless enemy. If he has money

friend, General A. w. Bishop, who entered
the army at the commencement Of the war,
fought it out on that line until peace came,
and then settled in Little Rock, Arkansas,
where he opened law Office, and has
for seventeen years devoted himself to
his profession and such public trusts
as the Republicans while in power in the
State called him to fill. But the shotgun,
tissue ballots and false counts have over
come an honest Republican majority, and
the hand of ostracsm is laid heavily upon
prominent Republicans until they are
literally starved out. This seems to be the
fate of General BISHOP. He is on his way
to Buffalo, n. Y.-frOm whence he started
for the front when the Nation needed de-
fenders-where he proposes to open an Office
for the practice of law, and take fresh start
in life after having wasted seventeen of
the best years of his life in an honorable
effort to maintain his citizenship and build
up his fortunes in Southern State. But
he is a "carpet-bagger," and-must go. This
is only typical case. They are plenty

tai, enterprise and talent can study these

THERE is q growing conviction among
Northern Republican leaders that it would
be loves labor lost to attempt to carry any
of the Southern States, or win even single
electoral vote in the South next year. The
argument is that the Republicans must
concede the 139 electoral votes of the South
to the Democrats, and then beat them with
the 216 votes of the Solid North. That is,
they argue, the only way to split the Solid
South, and end at once both sectional poll
tics and all attempts TO destroy the re-
suits Of the rebellion. But we take issue
with this exceedingly sectional view Of the
situation. 1t is true that il is being forced
upon us by the unpatrioiic and selfishly-
sectional course of the Bourbon Brigadiers ;
but we submit that it is the part Of pru-
dence and true-hearted loyalty to resist it.
1t will not do to abandon the Southern
Republicans next year, or at any other
time, TO the mercy of their enemies. The
Nation owes them debt of gratitude for
the noble part they took in the campaign
of 1876, and, aside from this, the outlook is
not so assured as regards q Unified North
as to make it certain thing that their
effective aid will not be required again in
1880. The better way, and the only
patriotic way, to conduct the impending
canvass is to go about it with IN honest
and earnest design to encourage the growth
of true Republicanism in every section of

Is there not person named ULYSSES s.

Yes, sir! there is man of that name, of

the time of the Gettysburg wake" and at
divers and sundry times since, 1t is highly
probable that you will hear his name men
toned frequently during this session of
Congress, and about the time the Forty
sixth Congress expires, and when the Forty
seventh Congress is ushered in. 1t now

The metalograph is the name of an instru-
ment just invented by Bostonian, and is
likely to be of service to writer's. 1t can do
things that the electric pen cannot accom-
plish. Its motive power is compressed air
instead of electricity. The instrument is
thus described: ''lt consists of hardened
steel point, which, when in use, IL moved up
and down, within metal tube, very rapidly
by means of cam and spring. The cam is
on little metal shaft, which is revolved by
a wheel, which is connected by rubber tube
with pair of bellows under table, and can
be worked by hand or foot. Resting the in
strument perpendiculsrly upon a thin sheet of
metal, and setting the bellows in motion, a
person may write with it upon the metal,
making what appears to be q continuous line,
but really dotted line. The letters made are
embossed upon the metal. The sheet of
metal is then to be placed in small press
and covered by a suitable piece of carbon
paper; and over that again the paper to be
written upon is placed. The press is then
set in motion and copies of the writing or
composition can be produced very rapidly
No liquid, ink, acid or electricity is used.
The little machine can be used 10 manifold
writing. The metalograph will also be of
service in signing bank checks and other i'm
portant documents, for it will be impossible
to alter or erase signatures made with it.

A gentleman of Bushnell, ILL.,, recently ex-
hibited some samples of lumber that have at


tracted much attention among the lumber


men, and which, if it possesses all the virtues


that are claimed for it, is one of the most lm-


portant inventions of its kind ever brought
to notice. If it is success it will form u
new era in the art of building. 10 make
hardwood lumber out of common wheat
straw, with all the effects of polish Ind fin
ish which is Obtainable on the hardest of
black walnut and mahogany,at as little cost
as clear pine lumber can be made up for, is tie
claim OF the inventor, and the samples which
he produces would 60 far toward verifying
his claims. The process is as follows: He
takes ordinary straw board such as is usual
ly manufactured at any paper mill is used
for the purpose. As many sheets are taken as
are required to make the the thickness of the
lumber desired. These sheets are passed
through q chemical solution which softens
up the fibre and completely saturates it. The
whole is then passed through a succession of
rollers, dried and hardened during the passage
as well as polished, and then comes out of
the other end of the machine hard, dry lum-
Der, ready for use. The inventor claims that
the chemical properties hardening in the fibre
entirely prevents water soaking, and renders
the lumber combustible only in very hot
fire. The hardened finish on the outside also
makes it impervious to water. The samples
on exhibition could hardly be told from hard
wood lumber, and in saving it the difference
could not be detected.

are constantly being driven in from the South

that this trade alone will be like bonanza
mine to the Northern Pacific railroad. In
addition to the carrying trade of cattle, comes
the shipment of ores.


With the completion of this road to the
Rocky Mountains, the shipment of ores will
at once become business of vast importance.
Mines that hereto have paid but little profit
will become valuable. and quartz mining will
receive new start. For many years large
quantities of Montana ore have been hauled
by teams four or five hundred miles to the
Union Pacific railroad, and have then paid
profit. How much more will the mines of
this mineral country be worth when the |
Northern Pacific cars pass through the |
