Wahiiinuton, D. C, Nov. 30.
J.'ilitor DeiiutcrtU :
The Kalionnl Fair is booming this
wtnik ami 'Washington titutita a live
lier nic-aiaiico than it has for uinny a
Jay bcfoi-e. The national character of
the exhibition ia not fully JovoIojkmI
yd, nml the general outside interest ia
not so great as it will bo in future
yearn, but from a Washington atauil
point the onUrjrino ia a grand auccrsa.
The imniftiHe procession on the ojx'ning
day was four miles long anil comprised
a representation of all the bukineaa in
toresta of the city. For a community
not much engaged in manufactures it
was a big thing, and the industrial
hibition on the grounds ia surprisingly
good. V( course, as 1 rxct to bo an
angel wlien I die, I won't aay anything
about the "lions races and aich." liut
sjicaking of industrial matteta reminds
me of the lit'tum delivered here on last
Tuesdiiy evening by Mr. lfolyoake, the
F.ugliah author and promoter of co-ojt-erative
trade among the working class
es of that country, lie described in
detail tho plan upon which the co cur
ative societies of Kngland were organ
ized, and astonished his auditors by do
tailing the remarkable dvgrco of success
which has tesnlted from their clhjrta.
lie said that the societies now have
two slips running between this coun
try and Kngland, transporting supplies
purchased here for the co-operative
stores. Tho societies have also estab
lished permanent purchasing agencies
in almost every producing country in
lite world, in order to obtain absolutely
pure articles of food at first prices.
Tho new supers have had a good
deal of fun over tho suggestive appear
ance, on a platform in Brooklyn, of
that domestic trio, Conk ling, licocher
and Hicks, and Frank Italics illustra
tion entitled "A fellow feeling makes
us wondtoui kind," was a timely hit.
Cunkliiig fresh from Canochet, Beecher
with the odor of Klizabeth's confession
clinging lo him, and Hicks fresh from
Florida, where he U known aa "The
Devil's Deputy." Hicka is probably
the worst seducer of the lot, but he has
the advantage of not proftauing to be
much better than he ia. The three on
a platform certainly made a striking
picture. They tell a gissl story ajrro-
of Conkling's vanity and love of ad
miration fiout the fair sex. which is
worth ic ating. There is a lively lit
tle lsdy in Xew York, who keejsi on
her center table, under a gloss case, a
lock of auburn hair InWled "The 1U
of the lock rare and curious. " It is
nothing less than tho historical curl
which people who have seen Conkling
will have noticed hanging proudly over
is forehead. Somebody wrote a verse
on it thus:
Then waa a U- Hunaiur and be baJ a lulls curl.
That buu( rhl iluao lbs muldls ol his furebsad.
AihJ hm bs waa stmm! be waa vary, vsry gw4.
tlut a lieu M was b4 bs was horrid,"
This little lady heard Roscon Mak
in JoMr institute, and was so struck
with his inordinate vanity that she stmt
him a letter setting forth that sho waa
a young girl just out of school, and so
enamored of tire handsome, eloquent
man that she begged of him a cotres-
pondence, and, if possible, an interview.
Tho able man whoso vanity makes him
an afiH, and sometimes a vicious ass, fell
into the trap, nnd he first corresiwnded
with, then sought out and courted the
little witch in petticoats. Hhe bad bat
one objective point in view, and that
waa a captute of the leek of hair
that the statesman had cultivated into
a distinguishing feature. ' She made its
possession a test of Lis love and wen,
and then she disappeared from his gaze,
leaving the "Bully Bottom" of the Ben
ate transformed out of all recognition
to bis immediate friends. .
The result of the Ohio election seems
to have emboldened John Sherman, and
he now declares openly that "when a"
member of Congress or an officer of the
National Government ia to be elected,
Congress has power to regulate such
elections, and the Republican party in
tend, if the present law id not strong
enough, to make it i still . stronger.
Thia indicates that the Republican par
ty are looking forward to another dis
puted election. . Their original : plan
was to capture the present House of
Representatives. In this they were
foiled; hence the raising of. the bloody
shirt banner in the fight which has just
closed in the Buckeye State and is now
on in New York, in the hone of 'seotir-
ing the governments of those States for
next year. If they ' succeed ' in ISew
York as they have in Ohio the plan for
1880 is to give tho electoral votes of
those States to the Republicans, wheth
er they' are ' entitled to'' them or not.
How they will do this in New York' is
indicated by the plan for a sort ef eight
by seven electoral 'commission1 -which
they concocted last -winter .at Albany,
and which they dared not tress while
Governor Robinson, was in the execiv
utive chair., With. two such, unscrupu
lous partisans as Foster aad Cornell to
exercise executive power in Ohio and
New York, the project of a "Solid
North" is feasible, and the declaration
of John Hhennaa, quoted above, shows
that the Republican leaden are ready
to resort to any merits of jwrK'tttating
their power, no matter how reprohonsi-
bio it may be.
John J. Ingnlls, United 8tuU Sena
tor, from Kansas, by virtue of Jay
Gould's money, baa been strutting
around Washington since tho return of
the subcommittee sent there to investi
gate the manner of bis election. He
feels confident that he will not be tin.
seated, and from all I can learn I guess
ha is right. Not that such a result will
be in accordance with his desert or the.
facts in the case; but instead of making
the inquiry when the circumstance
were fresh, it waa jiostimned until lute
in fl.e summer, after the artful dodger
had been given tint to fix witnesses
and Jest roy all positive evidence against
him. I saw a letter last winter from a
Republican now in Kansas, formerly
connected with the Radical organ bete,
which be expresses bis conviction
that Ingalls honght lilt election out
right. Ho was a clerk iu tho !egilu-
atute at the time and based bis opin
ion upon personal knowledge and uU
starvation. The cliarvee all came from
n gal la' own Jstrty, and a Republican
member of Congress from that State
told me be bad no earthly doubt of bis
guilt. Yet in the face of all thia he
pear likely to eaoae exposure. It
is said that Kenator Haulabury, the
Democratic chairman of the Committee.
does not desire to elicit any jjsitivcly
amaging evidence. I don't know how
that in, but am satisfied that Ingnlls'
escape win im ami to tne ueuty ana
sympathizing tactic of bis Kttttatorial
colleagues quite as much as to bis own
manipulation.

One knows not of a mom terrible
situation for a man to be in than to be
awoke by a venomous snal.e falling on
him. An English oflker in India tells
of bis experience in this sort of a ter
ror: It waa the worst season of the vear
for venomous creatures when Tom Nr-
ria and myself were occupy'n ' a small
bungalow at Jubbulpore.
We slept in the same room, each of
us having a lounge, and it was about
wo cluck in the luornintr, and pitch
dark, when I waa awakened by some
thing striking nte on the lwck and fall
ing, as the sound seemed to indicate, in
coil upon the floor.
"What'a thatr exclaimed my friend.
whe awoke at the same instant, and 1
made no reply, for I had tho strongest
uaaible dislike to bay what I believed
it was.
"What's thatr ho asked again; and
then I answered, "1 think it's a snake,
and he has bitten me; will vou get up
and go for a lightl"
Tom Norn lay still for a while, then
be aaid: 'Now, look here, old fellow,
if a cobra has bitten you, be won't do
you the least additional harm' if he
bites you again; but what is the use ol
my being bitten toot Hadn t you bet
ter get up and go for the light your
self r
Could any logic have been more tin-
aonablel 1 at once got . up, and after
some trouble procured a light, and we
began our search for the snake.
But first Tom ftorris examined the
dace where I bad been bitten, and his
face grew very grave, for there were
the two punctures, and it teemed clear
that a snake had injured me.
We hunted about the house for ten
minutes, and although I felt myself
growing drowsy,'! began to hope that
it was not a cobra, dut some less ven
omous reptile that had bitten me.
At last the mystery was solved. As
we entered the bathroom, a wild cat,
that for some incomprehensible reason
bad taken refuge in the bungalow, went
fiyiag, half road with fright, out of the
window, carrying naif a dozen panes ot
glass with her in her exit;
In her contusion she had evidently
nmped upon the bed, and her claws
had penetiated my back, making two
little ho!es precisely like the bite of a
cobra.
To sav that I was relieved would
rive you a very ioor idea of my senti
ments as the cat sprang through the
window. All my drowsiness vanished,
ana I slept no more that night.

The city of Allmii lii-s nestled in tho

hits a rich country north, southeHst and

railroad on tho other. 1 ts entire usjx-et
is one of thrift, permanence, protspntity
and steady growth. It is the county
seat ot Linn county, which embmces
area, say, forty miles long by seventy
miles wide. Not being a paiallelognim,
the acreage is estimated at atmnt on
and one-quarter million acres. A very

the marl is hern somewhere. Ti e val

are taking advantage of the present fine

only spring-sown wheat that is liable to

; that an intrigue was going on, ac
costed tho old man very rudely inti
mating that such proceedings wer. not
allowed there. Tho man of sixty flew

tho impudent fellow, and made a grand

gized; expressed his profound regret,
but added that las nmtake was natural
enough. Asked afterwards to explain
he said he had noticed that the patron
of the house had, while sitting on the
piazza iu the evenings, repeatedly put
his arm around his feminine companion
and bent down and kissed her warmly
and in his clerical judgment that was
not the way husbands were in the hab

A St STATE
The Republicans of 'bis State are
making a great howl alxuit the doc
trine of State lights and the position
of the Democratic party on this ques
tion. The Cincinnati Knquirer has the
following to say as to the sSiition of
the Republican rty on the question
of State rights before it bad occasion
to chntigo its views in order to hold on
to the sfidir .f the government :
In lrtCO tho Republican arty was .
in thn buoyancy of youth, in the hope
and pride of a sanguine ambition, and
in th meekness -f a good behavior,
like that of a stranger seeking to make
friend. like most l-ojs it was full of
gHsl ieoiiition. Without patronage,
conscience, to the sense of justice, to
tl ju lw-t feml r-oo. au'l t was. ,M
forced to base this apeal upon the ron-
Hill ill ii Hi, I lie iiinuameniai law ! me
land. It dared not then openly and
flagtantly defy Jhe constitution, for it
washiiml.l v knoekii.gat the gates of
jsiwer. The constitution, even so short
a time ago, held in some resjiect
and revi-rer.ee. There wa something
fine in the t-jiectacle. of a young and
lusty party, in a melancholy minority,'
without money to disburse or offices to
dispense, plea-ling with millions of men
to vote for it because it claimed to rep
resent an i-b-a within the constitution
that hovered atiout freedom. The Re
publican party never before and never
after occupied a sii.ion so eminent.
It was not yet corrupted by power, and
was in seme reuse made lofty with
ho e. It seemed to try 1 o stand upon
the constitution, and plea-1 for bWrty
for all men. In that convention f
18C0 weie some .f the men who bavo
lent luster to tho Republican jmrty, and
have Ioiti i.lentilie.l with it only glo
ries. John A. Andrew was there Irom
MasKtchuM-tt-, braxe, eloquent, lofty,
tender, w ith com ietiona made lieautiful
by courage and flavored with sentiment.
George S. lioiitwell, from the same
State, was there, tame but tenacious,
somewhat dull but firm, not showy but
tireless. Kben F. Stone, who was tem
porary chairman of th n-cent Massa
chusetts Republican Convention, was a
delegate, and Win. C!a2in and Samuel
Hooer, lsth since then prominent in
the polities of MaKachusetts, were
delegates fo thi ojnvention. Gideon
Wells, of Connecticut, wa a delegate
at large, as were William M. Evarts
and Preston King, of New York.
George William Curtis was the first
delegate fioin the fiist district of New
York ; and it as he, of the melodious
voice and scholarly face, tho g"Htl", cul
tured dreamer, then so much of the
hope of our literature, who asked the
convention if it was prejiared lo jfo
ujwn the record as voUng down tho
declaration of independence. William
Curtis Neves and James W. Ny were
legates from ew xork. Dtvid
Tilmot was a delegate at large from
Pennsylvania. Tbad. Steven, the in
domitable, the heroic, waa also a dele-.
ate at large. Wm. 1). Keller was
there. Francis I. Blair and Mont
gomery Bl air were delegates. Tom
"orwin, the wit, the man ot snuabiue.
was a delegate from Ohio ; Joshua, 11.
Gidding, fearless, devoted, conspicuous.
was a delegate from Ohio. . rrauk Has
saurek wa there, an eloquent speaker.
Daxid Davib and O. H. Browning were
elegates fwrn Illinois. Carl Schurz,
of course, was there, a delegate at
large from Wisconsin. From what
convention has this mercenary destruc-
tionist and place seeker been absent
s:nco Jr.urope apewci nun iuu mis
country t Kasson and Allison, of Iowa,
were delegates. Frank Blair, Jr., and
Iratz Brown were delegates at large
from Missouri. And Horace Greeley,
that strange combination of guileless
ness and intrigue, of ambition and mod
esty, of loving kindness and bitterness,
of breadth and narrowness, of philoso
phy and fickleucss, of humaneness
broad as the sea and spites aa Iittie as
the pebbles it washes on the whitened
shore, a monument of tireless toil until
he filled a grave of despair Horace
Greeley, the hater of Seward the er
ratic man of unsurpassed sincerity, the
weak man of power, waa there as a
delegate from Oregon. Such was the
com;Ksition of the convention. Geo.
Boutwell, b. X . Ulair, Joseph ti.
Barrett, of Ohio, Carl Schurz, J. A.
Kasson and Horace Greeley were
among the members of the committee
on resolutions. The Republican party
let us believe, was then honest and ear
nest. What did thia convention, in -that
heur, say against the rights of the
StttesI -
The second resolution in the platf irm
of this convention declares :
"That the maintenance of the princi
ples promulgated in the Declaration of
Independence and embodied in the Fed
eral Constitution is essen
tial to the preservation of our repub
lican institutions ; and that the federal
constitution, the rights of the States,
and the union of the States, must aiyl
shall be preserved." -
The Republican party in 18G0 was
not content with the enunciation of the
rights ot the States. . The fourth reso
lution of this platform was as follows :
"That the maintenance inviolate of
the rights of the States, and especially
the right of each State, to order and
control its own domestic institutions
according to its own judgment exclu
sively, is essential to that balance of
power on which the perfection and en
durance of our political fabric depend ;
and we denounce the lawless invasion
by armed force of any State or Terri
tory, no matter under what pretext, as
among the gravest of crimes."
Wo appeal "Irom Philip drunk to
Philip sober." It has become the Re
publican theory that inasmuch as the
late civil war destroyed allvesti jeof
the alleged right of secessien.no rights
of a State remain ; that all the rights
of the States perished when the union
of the States was restored. We appeal
from the Republican party in 1879 to
the Republican party in 1880. .
