An ExAMrLE.-It is really too bad that we
should import any butter from abroad, when all
we consume, and more too, can be produced by
ourselves To show what can be done, if any
effort is made we state that about one hundred
pounds of butter of the finest quality are being
made weekly at the New York hotel, in this
town. When the charac er of the range in Wea-
yer basin is taken into consideration the estab-
lishment referred to sets an example that shames
the most of our ranchmen badly.

SPLENDID LETTUCE.-We noticed some lettuce

this vegetable could wish.

The law recently enacted to en-
force the provisions of the fraudu-
lent fifteenth amendment does not
prevent the Radical owners of cot
ton mills or iron foundries from
commanding their workmen to
support the candidates of that par
.ty, on pain of instant dismissal.
They can station their fOremen
at the polls to give white men
tickets, and report such as do not
bow down to the political mandate
issued from the counting-rooms of


large establishments. But the ne


gro can hasten to a commissioner
and take oath that his employer
is intimidating him tolvote con-
trary to his political principles,
and that employer, without even
as much as a hearing, will fall
within the clutches of the new
bill and be subjected to heavy
fine or lengthy imprisonment.
The colored voter holds over his
employer an unlimited power of


intimidation, but the white man
is kept in the background and
treated as slave. This is the
Radical qidea ofEat free ballot for
white men.issT4 sdf TO eu0

f.Dixon," the capable and trust
worthy correspondent at Washing

in a secret letter some interesting
facts and statistics about land
grants to railroad companies.
The policy was begun in 1850,
when about two million and a half
acres were given to the Illinois
Central. Since that time we have
given to canals one million four
hundred and fifty thousand acres,
to wagon roads three million
seven hundred and eigh1y-two
thousand two hundred and thir-

The public domain remaining un-
disposed Of, we are told by the

more than one thousand million
of acres, but it will soon waste

Brother.


Although clothed in the form of fictitious nara
tive the present work of Miss Warner is not so
much novel as an exposition of some of the pri-
mary doctrines of religion for the use OF the
younger class of readers. 1t consists mainly of a
series of conversations between good mother and
her young daughters and is seasoned throughout by


decided domestic flavor. The style, like that OF all
the productions of the writer. is simple almost to
homeliness, and frequently too prox for the impa-
tient reader. A high standard of duty founded on
high religious principle is set forth in the volume,
which if presenting no special attractions to the
juvenile taste forms useful aid in the work Of uve-
nile instruction.

There was no meeting of the City
Council last night. The only Demo-
cratic member present was Mr.. Van
Ripper. It may also be regarded as a
significant coincidence that not so!-
itary reporter of any of the Democratic
papers was present The truth seems
to be the Democrats are lodging the
responsible ,ity of ordering an election
for Mayor Thy hope to postpone
the election by such tactics as long
as possible. 10 the meantime some
thing may turn up to their ad-
vantage. This is tampering with the
vital interests Of the city in the most
discreditable manner. The people
want Mayor. They are ready to
elect one just as soon as the Council
will give them the opportunity. We
caa see no good reason for postponipg
the election. If there is any good
reason, nobody has yet announced
it to the public. Does the Council
intend to disregard the wishes of the
people in this particular? Do the
Democratic members of that august
body think the people have no rights
in this respect, which they are bound
to respect? Will they persist in ad-
ministeriDg the affairs of the city. in

visions of the City Charter?

From New Harmony Register, I'd inst


We call the especial attention of
our citizens to the article In another
part of this paper, copied from the
Evansville j JOURNAL, in regard to the
new survey for the Evansville and
Carmi Railroad. There appears to
be laudable desire on the part of
the Directors to run this road through
or very near our town. and il is the
plain duty of those who are interested
iu the future welfare and prosperity
of New Harmony to give all possible
assistance to the enterprise. The
freight brought here aud the produce
shipped hence each year is very con-
siderable aud not at all Ito be
sneezed at"


Our people have done much for the
Mt. Vernon & GRANVILLE Railroad, and
will doubtless do what they can to
secure the advantages offered by the
Evansville Road. But after doing
what is possible to be done to secure
the route of either or both roads
within a reasonable distance from
town, and should fail in that object
as now seems not altogether improb-
able-we shall still have the river as
heretofore; and we feel assured that
our merchants. grain spectators and
pork packers will, for spite, if nothing
else, ship by the river to Shawnee
town, so long as boats can run on the
Wabash. Either city, aud especially
Evansville, would be the gamer by
not sighting this point in locating
their roads.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-There has
been no Executive session of the Sen
ate since the New York nominations
were sent in, and consequently they
have not been referred. The nomin-
alton of Murphy goes to the Com
mittee on Commerce, of which Sena-
tor Chandler, of Michigan, is Chair
man, and who is in the habit of look
ing closely at the political record of
all nominees who come before him.


An effort will be made to induce
the Committee to report the nomina-
ton of Murphy back without any
recommendation, and thus leave the
contest to be fought out in the Senate.


There is no question but that the
fight will be very earnest, if not a
bitter one. Messrs. Davis and Hill
