—Was the monetization of
silver in the interest of Sharon
& Jones’s. The silver mines of
these worthies, will now be as
valuable as gold mines of the
same capacity.
—The bill to remove the sav-
age Indians to the Indian Terri-
tory, will be opposed by the
representatives from all the ad-
jacent States and territories.
Their combined vote and influ
ence, will defeat the measure,
concocted by Sharon, Jones &
Co. _
—The St. Louis Commercial
Bulletin and Live Stock Record,
congratulates Fort Worth on
the prospect of an immediate
construction of its city railroad,
and other improvements, which
it says will not only be a goocl
investment, but a great accom-
modation, in which the C. B. and
L. S. R. but expresses the opin-
ion of the thousands who are
visitiug and examining our city
and country.
—In the excitement and inter-
est pertaining to our political
concerns, our people are unmind-
ful of the throes that are con-
vulsing our neighbor across the
Rio Grande. Another Presi-
dent has been dethroned, and
the country is going through its
periodical revolutionzing. We
are likely to have some of the
same sort among ourselves,
soon.
INDIANA DEMOCRACY.
The action of the Democracy
of Indiana in forming Rifle Clubs
and military companies, is being
imitated in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin. Many persons who voted
the Hayes’ ticket, are becoming
members of these organizations,
and Grant and his immediate
conspirators are becoming
alarmed. Morton was sent post
haste to Indiana, to ascertain,
probably, whether the Hoosiers
really meant business. From
the precipitate manner in which
he returned to the kennel at
Washington, he was soon satis-
fied that the people of Indiana
and the West generally intend-
ed to see to the inauguration' of
the officer legally chosen by the
people, without the intervention
of Returning Boards, canvassers
and bayonets. The man on
horseback, evidently does not
feel as secure in bis seat, as he
did before he heard of these or-
ganizations. His feet do not
quite reach the sturrups now.
He has reported to have said
that if these proceedings in the
West became revolutionary that
lie will act promptly and de-
cisively in their suppression.
But Grant will find that he is
not dealing with disarmed, dis-
pirited and conquered Southern-
ers. These men have heard the
roll of the morning drum, and
the rushing tread of opposing
hosts, as frequently and as com
posedly as Grant, and the flush
of victory, instead of the pallor
of defeat', is on their brow. With
this very material difference he
will have to contend, and against,
it he eaunot succeed. The con
spirators against the life of the
nation, must hesitate before they
strike the assassin’s blow.
WHERE IT HURTS.
The shipments of freight West
and South have fallen off great-
ly since the conspiracy of the
Republican officeholders to sieze
the Government has become de-
veloped. We fear that before
the middle of February, the Re-
publican merchants in New York
who have tacitly encouraged
this criminal attempt to subvert
our free institutions, will have
deep cause to regret that they
did not take a more manly sfand
against the revolutionary move-
ment of their political leaders.
-♦- . -o-
—Soon after the close of the
late civil war, all the States that
had been in rebellion came un-
der carpet-bag rule. By long
and persistent struggles, the
white citizens, with the aid of
patriotic colored voters, have
delivered all these States from
the carpet-bag yoke, except
Louisiana, Florida and. South
Carolina. It is admitted that
all the States that have eman-
cipated themselves from carpet-
bag domination are growing
more and more prosperous, and
are as peaceful and law-abiding
as Yermont, while it is noto-
rious that the three still under
the control of the carpet-baggers
are sinking deeper and deeper
into debt, and aie the sceues of
constant confusion, uproar, and
the most repulsive forms of
rascality.
And yet, in the face of these
facts, the entire Republican
party, and Grant’s administra-
tion, and the Republicans in
Congress, and the whole army
and navy, are doing their ut-
most to perpetuate the rule of
these turbulent, thieving vil-
lains in these three unfortunate
States.
CONVEYANCES.
V. BAIN & CO.
■—All housekeepers have at
some time realized the difficulty
of lighting a tire in a still, damp,
morning, when the chimney will
not draw, and vigorous blowing
proves ineffectual. Science ex
plains the trouble as caused by
the difficulty encountered in
overcoming the inertia of the
long column of air in the pipe or
chimney, by the small column
of air that can be forced up
through the interstices of wood
and coal, at the bottom of which
the fire is kindled. This may be
remedied by first lighting a few
bits of shaving or paper, placed
upon the top ; thus, by the heat-
ed air’s forcing itself into the
chimney and establishing there
an upward current, the room is
kept free trom the gas or smoke
which is so apt to till the room,
and the fire can then be lighted
from below "with good success.
—A man smoking a clay pipe
in a London street was run in-
to by another man and the pipe
stem driven into his jaw so it
could not be pulled cut. But it
does not follow that the moral is
to chew tobacco.
—Within three years the Re-
formed Episcopal Church in this
country has grown to possess
fifty parishes, embracing be-
tween four and five thousand
communicants. This is rather
a remarkable showing.
