Hancock wnn oducntcd nt tho ox ponso o( tho natlonul treasury. Garfield studied political economy Hancock studied tho manual of UI1IIS. Gnrllchl voluntoored to fight for tho cnuso of tho Union. Hancock, being In tho regular ar my, was conipcllcd to fight or resign in disgrace. Garllold had an indupemlcnt mili tary command, and won an impor tant battle. Hancock novar had an Independent command and never won u bnttlo. Qarllchl 1 a ripo statesman of twenty-two year' experience Hancock id a professional poldior, or, according to Democratic vocalm lary, during tho war, "hireling." Garfield is a hard-monoy man. Hancock is ??? Garfield favored and fought for re sumption. Hancock on tho question of ro mimption wns ?7 Garfield favors protecting home hi hor against pauper labor of Europe. Hancock stands on tho Cincinnati platform, which favor protecting tho pnupor labor of Europe as against our home labor. Garfield is for protecting all cili rens in tho right to voto for whom ever thoy pleaso Hancock favors allowing rebel shot gunner to be tho judges as to who hIiiUI Mitoniul wlfo shall not voto vide his notion in Louisiana. Garfield believes our country to bo n Nation with a big X. Hancock Iwliovcs our country to ho n federation of States, cnclt spelled with a big S. Garfield behoves tho State Govern-' jnent to bo subject to the National government. Hancock believes tho National Government to ho mibjcct to the Slato Government -vide his Order No. 40 in Louisnna. Garfield favors submission to tho laws, and is opposed to a stato of nn nrchy, Hancock is on record as having favored Mo.xlennizing our Govern ment ido his offer to support Til don with the troops under Ids com mand if ho woidd only havo himself proclaimed as President. Gnrfiuld lias a groat record as a etntosmnu on all subjects connected with tho science of Government. Hancock's only claim lo statesman-, nhip is his Louisiana letter supinely allowing tho ex-robols to crush out tho Union Republicans and introduce the shot-gun policy. Garfield is an Independent mnn, mul will Ih governed by what ho be lieves to bo right or for tho best inter ests of tho country vido his Con grcbsional career. Hancock, if elected, will bo as pot ter's clay in the hands of thoso who onco tried to destroy tho Government vido his Order No. -10 in Louisiana. Garfield is a plain matter-of-fact fltatcsuun. Hancock looks well in his uniform on horsoback. Gnrfield is opposed to tho cx-robcls having control of tho Govarnmont. Hancock favors allowing tho Con fcderatcs.havlng full control of the Government, nfter they had onco tried to destroy It. Wo havo now shown tho difToronco hotweon the two riesidontial candi dates, nnd wo invito nil thoughtful voters to road tho foregoing and pon der over it, and then innko their choice-of tho two; feeling that thoy onnnot do othorwiso than voto for tho piofossional statesman against the professional soldier know-nothing. Zxzva,, tho cannon gill of Uarnum's big show wns recently seriously in jured at Atohinson, Kansas, during hor performance. Tho propelling machinery wus started while alio was unprepared, nnd tho concussion land ed hor, in an unconscious condition, Sn tho net Colow.wlth hor limbs badly picerated by tho accldont. Wibdom is hotter than riches. Wis dom guards tlicc, but thou must guard thy riches. Jtiohes diminish in tho using ; hut wisdom Increases in tho tiso of it. "Dm my moustnoho troublo you" amlllobbs to his sweotheart. "No, I only felt a littlo down in tho mouth," was tho answer. I'hurlottn f;orrtnylcntli or Mill-lit. Amid tho dim forniont of Caen and tho world, history specially notices ono thing: In tho lobby of tho Man sion do l'Intcndanco, where busy dep uties nro coming and going, a young lady, with nn aged valet, takhiKirraco- ful leave of Dopuly Darbnroux. She is of stately Normnn figure; In her twonty.flfth year; of beautiful still countenance: her namo is Charlotte Corday, Imrotofore styled D'Armans, while nobility still was. Harbaroux has given her a nolo to Deputy Du poret him who onco drew his sword In tho ofrervc'sccnce. Apparently, sho will lo Paris on somo errand. 8ho wns a Itopublicnn before tho Inv olution, and novor wanted onorgy.' A completeness, n decision, is in this fnir female figure; "by cnorgy sho means tho spiilt that will prompt ono to sacrifice himself for his country.1 What if alio, this fairyoung Charlotte, had emerged from her secluded still ncss, suddouly llko a star; cruel, love ly, Willi hnlf-angclic, half demoniac splendor, to gleam for a moment, and in a moment to bo extinguished : to he held in memory, so bright com pleto was she, through long centuries. Quilting siinmcriau coalitions with out, and tho dim-simmcrjng twenty five millions within, history will look fixedly at this ono fair apparition of a Charlotte Corday; will nolo whither Charlotte moves, how tho littlo life burns forth so radiant, then vanishes, swallowed of tho night. With Harbaroux's note of introduc tion, and n slight stock of luggage, wo sco Charlotte on Tuesday tho iUli of July seated in tho Caen diligence, with a placo for Paris. None takes farewell of her, wishes hor good jour ney ; her father will find a lino left, signifying that she has goi.o to Eng land, Hint ho must pardon hor and forget her. Tho drowsy diligence lumberj along; amid drowsy talk of politics and pr.iiso of tho Mountain, in which she mingles not; all night all day, and again all night. On Thursday not long before noon we nro at tlio bridge of Ncuilly ; hero is Paris, witli her thousand black domes the goal nnd purpose of thy jounjoy! Ar rived nt the Inn do la Providence, in tho Ituo des Vioux Auguitins, Char lotto demands a room ; hastens to bed ; sleeps all afternoon and night, till tho following morning. On tho morrow morning sho deliv ers her nolo to Duporot. It rclntcs to certain family papers, which are in tho Minister of tho Interior's hands, which a nun at Caen, an old convent friend of Cliariotto's, has need of; which Duperct shall assist her in set ting; this, then, was Cliariotto's er rand to Paris. Sho has finished this in tho courso of Friday, yot says noth ing of returning. Sho has seen nnd silently investigated eovoral things. The Convention in bodily reality sho lias seen ; what tho Mountain is Iiko. Tho living physiognomy of Marat sho could not sco ; ho is sick nt present nnd confined nt homo. About eight on tho Saturday morn ing sho purchased a largo sheath knifo in tho Palais Royal; thon strait way, In tho Place des Victoires, takes a hackney-coach. 'To tho Ituo do I'Ecolo do Mcdlcino, No. -11.' It is thotesidoncoof tho Cltoyen Marell Tho Citoyan Mnrat is ill, and can not ho scon, which sconia to disap point hor much. Hor business is with Mnrat then? Hapless, beautiful Charlotte; hapless, squalid Mnrntl From Caon in tho utmost west, from Neuchatel in tho utmost cast, thoy two nro drawing nigh each other; thoy two have, vory strnngoly, busi ness togother. Chnrlotte, returning to hor inn, despatches a short nolo to Marat, signifying that sho is from Caon, tho scat of robollion; that sho desires earnestly to sco him, and 'will put it in his power to do Franco a great service' Noanswor. Charlotte writes another nolo still more press ing; sots out with it by conch about bovoii in tho evening, herself. Tired day-laborers havo again finished their wook ; hugh Pnris is circling and sim mering manifold, according to tho vnguo wnnt ; this one fair figure has dcoUlon Hi it ; drives straight toward a puiposo. It is yellow July ovonlng. wo 6ny, tho 13th of tho month, ovoof tho Das tilo day, whon M. Mnrat, four years ago, In tho crowd of tho Pont-Nouf, shrewdly required of that llesionvnl hussnr party, which had suoh friondly dispositions, 'to dismount and givo up tholr urms thon,' and beenmo notnblo among patriot men. Four years; what a road ho has travelled; and sits now, about half-post sovon of tho clock, stowing In sllppor-bath sore af flicted; 111 of Revolution fevor of what othor malady this historian had mtliiir tint nainn. Excosslvolv sick and worn, poor mnn, with preelsoly olovonpoHce-hulfponny of ready mon ey In pnpor; with sllppor-bath, strong thrco-footcd stool for writing on tho while ; and a squalid washerwoman, ono may call her; that is his civic establishment in Medical School Street; thither and not elsewhither has his road led him not to tho reign of brotherhood and porfect felicity. yot surely on the way towards that. Hark I a rap again 1 n muslcnl woman's voico, refusing to bo rejected ; it is the citoyenno who would do Franco a service. Marat, recognizing from within, cries: 'Admit hor.' Charlotto Corday was admitted. 'Citoyeu Mnrat, I am from Caen, tho scat of robollion, and wished to spenk to you.' TJo sentcd, ion enant. Now, what are tho traitors doing at Caen? What deputies are at Caon?' Charlotto named somo deputies. 'Their heads shall fall within a fort night,' croaks the eager People's Friend, clutching his tablets to write. Harbaroux, Pelion, writes lie with bare shrunk arm, turning aside in tho bath : Petim and Louvet, and Char lotto lias drawn her knifo from tho sheath ; plunges it with one sure stroke into tho writer's lienrt. 'A moil chrre avue. Holp, dear!' No more could the death-choked say or shriok. The helpful washerwoman lushingin, thcrojs no friend of tho people or friend of the washerwoman loft; but his lifo witli a groan rushes out, in dignant, to tho shades below. And so, Marat, People's Friend, is ended. As for Charlotto Corday, her work is accomplished ; tho recompense of It Is clear and sure. Tho chtre amic and neighbors of tho houso flying at her, bIio 'overturns somo movables,' intrenches herself till tho gendarmes arrivo ; thon quickly surrenders, goes quietly to the Abayo prison : sho alono quiet, all Pnris sounding in wonder, rnge, or admiration, round her. Du perct is put in arrest on account of hor: his papers sealed, which may lead to consequences. Fauchct in n Iiko manner, though Fauchct had not so much as heard of her. Charlotte, confronted with theso two deputies, praises tho grave firmness of Duperct, censures tho dejection of Fauchct. On Wednesday morning, the throng ed Palais do Justico and Revolutary Tribunal can sco her face ; beautiful and calm ; sho dates it 'fourth day of tho Preparation of Peace.' A strange murmur ran through the hall at tho sight of her you could not say of what character. Tinvillo has his in dictments nnd tapo-pnpers: thocutlor of tho Palais Royal will testify that ho sold her tho shouth knifo. 'All theso details are needless,' interrupted Charlotte ; 'it is I that killed Marat.' 'By whoso instigation?' 'By no ono.' 'What tempted you, then?' 'His crimes. 'His crimes. 'I killed ono man,' added sho, raising her voico ex tremely as thoy went on with their questions 'I killed ono man to savo a hundred thousand ; n villain, to save- innocouts, a savago wild beast, to givo rcposo to my country.' I was a Re publican before tho Revolution; I novor wanted energy.' There is, therefore, nothing to bo said. Tho public gazes astonished; tho hasty limners sketch hor features, Chorlotte not disapproving; tho men of law proceed with thcit formalities. Tho doom is death as n murderess. To hor advocato sho givos thanks; in gentle phrase, in high-flown classical spirit. To tho priest thoy send her sho gives thanks, but needs not any shriving, and ghostly or other aid from him. On tho same evening, therefore, about half-past sovon o'clock, from tho gato of tho Conciorgorio, to n city all on tiptoo, tho fatal cart issues; scHtcd on it n fair young creature, shcotod in red smook of murdorebs; so beautiful, serene, so full of lifo, journoying towards death alono amid tho world 1 Many tako off their hats, saluting reverently ; for what heart but must bo touched? Others growl and howl. Adam Lux of Montr, declares that sho is greater than Bru tus ; that it wore beautiful to dio with hor; tho head of this young man Booms turned. At tho Placo do Revo lution, tho countonanco of Charlotto wears tho snmo still smile. Tho oxo cutionora prooood to bind hor feot; sho resists, thinking it moant as an insult; on n word of explanation sho submits with choorful apology. As tho last act, all being now ready, thoy toko tho ncokerojiiof from hor neck ; n blush of maidenly shanio over spreads that fair faco and neck ; tho cheeks wore still tinged witli it when tho oxocutlonor lifted tho sovored hoiul to show It to tho pooplo. 'It Is moat truo.says Forstor, 'that ho struck tho cheok insultingly, for I saw it with my oyos; thopollco Imprisoned him for it. In this manner tho beau tifulleat and equnllidest come in col llnlmi. and cxtincuishcd ono another, Jean-Paul Mnrat nnd Mnrlo-Anno Charlotto Cordny both BiuUlonly are uo woi o. Kcauoss for Nappex-lla? the KcfmblicaH Party and Ab- jHrln-j- the Democratic. 1st. Tho Republican party, in op position to that wing of the Demo cratic which now controls it, savod the country from destruction. 2d. It has given tho country a sound currency from which in main has resulted tho goncral prosperity. 3d. It is patriotic and loyal, and regards tho United States as a nation and not a ropo of sand. 4th. It seeks to maintain tho Con stitution nnd to enforce all laws made in pursunnco thereof. Gth. It seeks that union and re conciliation which is tho triumph of principles fought for, and not that of tissuo ballots and intimidation. Gth, It demands that every man who counts or represents thoso who count, in the enumeration to give representation in tho electoral col lege, shall cast his voto just as he pleases, and shall havo it counted just an he cast it. 7th. It believes thot the perpetui ty nnd success of Republican institu ions depends upon universal educa tion, nnd it promotes tho samo by every means in its power. 8th. It is the only party which has taken any practical steps for tho im provement of tlio Civil Service, and from which further reforms can rea sonably be expected. 9th. All departments of the Gov ernment nro now administered with ability and integrity. 10th. Tho Republican parly brought the war to n successful issue ; emancipated the blacks ; placed tho credit of tho nation upon a higher basis than ever before. 10th. Continued, multiplied nnd oxtended our industries, so that wc are now among tho first of tho great commercial nations of tho world. Is it wise or snfo lo entrust tlio ad ministration of the Government to tho party which has opposed anT ob structed theso measures by overy means in its powor? niusoNS ron adjuring the demo cratic TARTY. 1st. It has destroyed the purify of elections and mndo voting unsafe. 2d. It is tho party of fraud and violence ; tho inventor of fraudulent naturalization and falso counting. 3d. It denies practically that we are a nation, and still holds tho per nicious doctrine of State rights which brought on tho war. 4th. It claim? to bo the party of economy and reform, vide Cipher de spatches, tho extra session, and the "Maine steal." 6th. It honors and favors thoso who tried to destroy tho Union. It denounces and displaces from office thoso who fought to savo it. Gth. It is tho party which origin ated the doctrine, "to tho victors be long tho spoils." To this and to tho doctrino of Stato rights it has consist ently adhored. 7th. It is tho party of tho solid South. It is tho party of New York City, with nil that this implies; it is tho party of Bourbonism, which for gets nothing and learns nothing. It is tho paity of southern civilization or barbarism, as opposed to tho party of northern civilization or freo schools and intelligence. Tho Neaham Coal Mine Explos ion. A London dispatch says : Tho ex plosion in tho Scaham coal mine makes 70 widows, 284 orphans; a largo majority of tho victims wore singlo men. At 2 o'clock this morn- inn- tlm first, of the victims of tho dis aster wero brought up from the mines. Before all the bodies could bo removed, tho fire again broke out and was not extinguished until 7 o'clock, Ono hundred and thirty is tho lowest estimate of tho dead, ind it is estimat ed thoro wore 400 horses and porsons in tho mino. Tho bodies of twelve mon brought up are frightfully dis figured, Tliorc are 11 more bodies near tho pit shaft. It may bo somo timo boforo tho othor bodies can bo rccovored, and some can never bo found, as thoy are buried under tho debris of tho explosion. Another lire has begun in No. 3 shaft at vontilat ing furnnco. This will delay explora tions. From ft list published it appears 1G2 mon and boys are misslne;. Tho latest olllcial stntoment places the number of killed nt 147. A-broken Davy Safe ty lamp has boon brought up from the main soam, and it is believed it throws somo light on tho origin of tho disaster. Ok nil the notions of man's lifo his marriage does least concorn other pcoplo, yet of nil tho notions of our lifo it is most meddled with by other pcoplo. , Am Appeal Tor Intelligent Voting. Wc print the following extract from a speech by Dr. Chadbourno, deliver ed at Worcester, Massachusetts : Tho rights and blessings of Ameri can citizenship bring responsibilities from which no American can escape. The coming election is a timo when every voto should bo cast after full discussion nnd deliberation. If this is done we have no fear of tho result. Wo bclicvo in tho sovereign power of the pooplojand in the wisdom of tho people when questions are fairly pre sented and their Voico can be uttered without fenr. Wc nppcal to the men who produce from soil and mines and mills, tho abounding wealth of our land men who want honest money for their daily toil, education and prosperity fortlicirlchildrcn. Wo ap peal to tho business men, to the young men full of hope, to those who this year cast their first presidential vote. We nppcal to those who shrink from the ficrco contests of political life to lend their influence and give their votes ns it seems to them the best good of their country demands. If politics seems to them n "dirty pool' lot them give their aid, that political power in our land may become more pure, till it shull flow from fountains that shall bring purity and delight to all the people. If the best'men of our land will give to tho questions now before them the thought and action which American citizenship demands of them, wc are ready to ncccptwith confidence the result of their decision. Wc nsk tho men who produco nnd tho business men of tho country to review tho financial policy and the prncticnl honesty of the present nd ministration. In all its vast machin ery for collecting revenue, only one cent is lost by defalcation on $3000, tlio ono turec-tliousandtli ol l per cent. Whnt business man with busi ness in every Stato of the Union would not discount gladly 10 times this amount nt tho beginning of every year to insure his business ngninst dishonest service! Consider the rapid pnymont of tho wnr debt, look at tho decrease of in terest, more than 70 millions a year, and 4 per cent bonds bearing a pre mium in all tho markets of the world! Tho riches of the country, and not tho administrations have dono all this, we are told. Wo answer, yes, but all tho riches of the land would have been powerless with out an administration giving credit by its honesty, stability through a sound currency, and freedom and safety through a just execution of the laws. Shake tho confluence of the people, aud tho world in tho honesty and stability of our Government, nnd all the riches of tho land could not secure public credit tor n day. Busi ness would bo paralyzed and honest labor bo begging for employment and for bread. Wo appeal to tho young men, those who in these times of peace and fair promiso forget what we who are oldor so well remomber. Wo ask them to ponder carefully the history of this country for. the past 25 year tho history of tho two great parties and tho records of the leading men in our nation to-day. Then let them ask themselves what the stability and highest good of thoir country demands of them? Will they voto to keep tho power where free school abound, where tho Union was defended, whore intelligence and freedom go hand in hand ; or will thoy voto to givo tho supremo power to thoso who once brought civil war to the Jand and now control a political system which is the natural offtoring of tho tyrannical power and abject ignorance that so long provniled in tho days of slavory? Will they do what tho hour domands, that we may continue an administra tion under which tho American pco plo havo enjoyed tho blessing of a freo Government nnd n nntionnl pros perity suoh ns no nation has over bo foro enjoyed in tho history of tho world? Wo ask tho 'scholars, tho business men, tho young, wo ask all tho peoplo, to look ot tho opposing political forces to-day nnd ask themselves where tho honor, tho pence, tho pros perity of tho country will bo safe. We have no word to uttor against the gallant soldior who Is tho Democratic nominee. We honor overy man who stood with him in the Union ranks). Wo speak theso words becauso ho de sorves thorn, and we wish also to re pay in part tho high coniplimont puid to our candidate by tho Frcsident of tho Domcoratio convention, when ho pronounced James A. Garfiold a largor edition of Hayes the vory in carnation of tho Republican party! "A larger edition of Hayes, tho Re publican party inenrnnto." Theso nro tho bold linos in which tho portrait of Gen. Uurfiold U sketched by a Democratic lender. I hare looked into James A. Garfield's face in the class-room. 1 havo followed him through nil his course, and supposed I know him well, but theso two phases I accept as truer to the lifo than the portrait on any campaign document of tho season! Supposo wo should say of Gon. Hancock: "Ho is n larger edition of James Buchanan tho Democratic party incarnate," would that recommend him to the American pcoplo! We believe better things of him than this. But while wo speak thus of tho Democratic nominee, ask yourselves why he was selected, but nbovo all ask what are the forces behind him, forces that ho is not to lead, but forces that must control him. He could conquer coa federate generals on the field of Got tysburg; in the halls of Congress they would dictate terms to him. Look on the other sido to tho vol untccr patriot who lead tho Republi can army. A brave wrrior an elo quent orator, a trained statesman, a man rising from tho people, ho has behind him the forces that saved tho Union. He has under his banner tho great army of loyal men whoso sympathies and efforts were with Gen. Hancock as a soldier of tho Union. Look at the two men and honor them both for what they did in war and counsel, and then look at the forces behind them to-day, forces that will determine tho policy of this Gov ernment for tho next four years as the election shall go in November, and wo feel sure that every scholar who believes iu universal education every business man who believes in sound currency and hopes for business prosperity, every patriot who believes in freo speech and a free ballot, every young man who seoks tho glorj- of his country will be found arrayed un der tho Republican banner, and that this banner will lead us on to victory and prosperity till the principles for which we contend shall prevail in overj-portion of our land, and solid South and solid North shall bo 'lost in a solid Union. Iffo-w to Jfndgo a Horse. The following simple rules will be found useful to all parties about to buy a horso : 1. Never take tho seller's word ; if dishonest ho will bo certain to cheat you; if disposed to be fair, he may have been tho dupe of another, and will deceive through representations which cannot be relied on. 2. Never trust a horse's mouth as a sure index of his age. 3. Never buy a horso while in mo tion ; watch him whilo he stands at rest, and you will discover tho weak points. If ho is sound he will stand squarely on his limbs, without mov ing any of them ; the feet planted flat upon tho ground and legs plump and naturally poised. If ono foot is is thrown forward with the too point ing to tho ground and tho heel raised, or if the foot is lifted from the ground nnd tho weight taken from it, disease of tho navicular bone may be suspect ed, or nt least tenderness, which is a precursor of disease. If the foot is thrown out, the too raised and the heel Drought down, the horso has suf fered from lammatis, founder, or the back sinews have been sprained, and ho is of littlo value. When tho feet are all drawn together beneath the horso, if there has been no diseaso, there is a misplacement of the limbs at rest, nnd n week disposition of tho muscles. If tho horso stands with the feet spread apart or straddles with his hind legs, there is a weakness of tho loins and the kidneys are disor dered. When tho knees aro bent and the legs totter and tremble, the breast has been ruined by heavy pulling and will never bo right again, whatever rest nnd treatment he may have. Contraetcdor ill-formod hoofs speak for themselves. 4. Never buy a horso with ii bluish or milky cast in his eyes. Tin's indi cates a constitutional tendency to op thalmin, moon-blindness, etc. 5. Never havo anything to do with a horse who keeps his ears thrown backward. This is an invariable indi cation of bad temper. G. If tho horso's hind legs are scarred, tho fact denotes that ho is a kicker. 7. If the knees are blemished, tho horso is apt to stumble. 8. When tho skin is rough nnd harsh mid docs not move easily and smoothly to the touch, tho horso is a heavy enter, and his digestion is bad. 0. Avoid n horso whoso respiratory organs are at all impaired. If the car is plapod ut tho sido of tho heait, nnd a wheoiing sound is heard, It is an indication of troublo. Subsoriub for tho Covst SUjL Only 12.50 pnr nnuuiu, Killed by nn Elephnnt. A sDccinl from Richmond to the New York Herald says that Informa tion from Charlotto, North Carolln, notes tho nrrivnl of Robinson's circtM nt that place. When tho celebrated elephant Chief was being takes off tho car ho became enraged and at tacked his keeper, John King, whoke succeeding in crushing against & cr. King sank to tho ground without groan. The other attendants fled tn terror, leaving King to tho mercies of ' tho beast. Tho injured man was al lowed to remain there several mia utcs tho elephant in the meantime keeping guard over his victim wni walking back and forth at brisk pace on Ihe.railroad track. King we picked up apparently lifeless and car ried to a barber shop across the street, where a physician was summoned to attend him. They found, on exami nation, his skull broken. He died At 11 o'clock last night. The circu wen secured the elephant at hut, with great difficulty chaining him to two other elephants, who seemed to o aware of their responsibility and tlw ' nature of the trust. j French Farmer. French farmers work unceasingly They arc not rapid workers, but they arc always at it. This industry is ac companied by extreme frugality, Their clothing is of the jumpiest and most primativo form and material, and the French housewives or moth ers seem to have carried the art of patching clothing to the highest pitch of perfection. In some specimens I have seen it would be difficult to say with certainty which was the origi nal piece as distinguished from, the patches. They spend but little in furnishing and almost nothing i D ornan cntation of tneir homes. Tbejr live also in tho most frugal way. It has been said that two Scotchmen, would live where one Englishman would starve. Bo that as it may, it is probable that three Fjrenohmwi could liro on an allowance all too small lor tho most frugal Scotchman. This fact seems to solve the problem how it happens that a populous COM try like France, with annverage pro- J duction per acre less than Engkfid, " can yet export breadstufls. The pro ducers consume so much less. Small " farming seems to rule the country, one man tilling his own land with the help of his wife and children. When Hancock IsKleete. Conkling. The present tariff and revenue Uw are deemed, very bad by the dominant element of the Democracy. They want to change them. They will change them radically whenever the wav is clear. There are whickey frauds in several States, aud the o ccrs of the law are powerless to sup press it. In Alabama the law it re sisted, and tho procosa o the court destroyed and defied. Reeeatly warrant was issued for the arreet of one Pcnton. charged with suoh a offence. A. deputy-marshal went wUh a posse to execute the warraat. In his report to the Marshal he says Teu ton assembled from twenty-ftve to fifty armed men, and set him and the law at defiance. When cautioned to desist. Fenton replied, "When Han cock is elected this damn foolU4) will stop." FI.ATTEEY is the hocus-pocus non sense with which our ears are some times cajoled, in order that we may be more effectually bamboozled and deceived. A rBETTV answer was given by littlo Scotch girl, when her ehwe was examined, she replied to the question "What is patience?" "Wait a we, and dinna weary." U. S. Land Ofpicb.
