POLITICAL NOTES.
A Fraud on the Public.
To show the reckless disregard of the
truth characterizing the leaders of the an-ti-Garfield
movement, we- quote from a
tel gram sent from Warren to the New
York Sun, professing to give a report ot
the little meeting of less than twenty
bolters, in this place last Thursday :
Warren, Ohio, Sept 10. The anti-
Garfield Republicans of tbe Nineteenth
Congressional District held a convention
in tbis place to day and nominated R. H.
Hurl burl for Congress in opposition.
- There were delegates from each of tbe
five counties Ashtabula, Trumbull, Por
tage, Geauga, and Lake which compose
tbe District. They are all thorough going
Republicans, men who have never lost
their allegiance to tbe Republican party,
and who evidently regretted that the step
tbey have taken to-day was one. wbicu
could not be avoided. One thing partic-
ularly impressed me as I watched tbe
proceedings of ihe convention. There
was not. a professional politician in tbe
meeting. Tbey were almost all honest
Geimans, whose faces were bronzed with
exposure to tbe sun,- and whose hands
were horny with toil. .
The above is ludicrous in the extreme
in the tight of the facta. We were pres
ent during the entire session of the bolt
era, and (ounted in all sixteen of them
one-half of whom, at least, are profession
al politicians. - There was not one Ger
man in the entire bali every one of
tbera being full-blooded, Western Reserve
Yankee?, whose viens have never felt the
nvjgoration of a single drop of "honest
German" blood coursing through them.
And their ".hands, were horny with toil 1"

Nothing is so annoying to tbe Lake Co
sore-heads as the paucity of thei num

want of consequence. They itch for some
thing that will ive them the respectful
attention of the voters of the district. This
effort to get Garfield to help them, is no
aoubt adroit enough, if It can oj

made to work.

A Little Side Show. What Was in It.
On last week Thursday while the regu
lar Democratic lain District uongreBsnm
al Convention was in si-s-inn in this citv.
a renort obtained circulation that the r".
& Y. noon t"ain would brine a del. """"
of 200 or more anti G irfield Republican
voters trom Lake C.mnty. The Demo
cratic Conventi-m which bad met in t
forenoon concluded it would b- wise to
ake a rec ss until after dinner and await
the arrival ot the expected valiant two
hundred. The train came, but not the
wo hundred. It was ominous of the des
.iniesortheday, perlinps, that oneomni
I, us conld carry the entire delegation, with
and to spare.
Tbe ten gentlemen from Lake, tbe two
from Portage, tbe twr. from Geauga, and
J ronie Bonaparte Fhillips, (tireeleyile)
Hie man who came like an avenging thun
derbolt as tbe repr-s ntHlive of the Ashta
bula bolters, took possession of the n arof
the court boose at nhmit 2 o'clock, P. M.
They gave evidence of being in a proba
tionary state, and in search of the Pro
bate Judge's office, which they tound anil
entered with nervous anxiety. In this
retired and sacred spot there were two or
three Trumbull countv men admitted, and
it was there that - the final shape of the
momentous- movement was doubtless,
ifravelv determined.
Then aP things, apparently, being ready,
there was a filing out of tbe Probate ol-
lice. and a'climbing op tbe hack stairs in
to the court room, where the man from
Ashtabula county and tbe several other
gentlemen found an abundance of empty
benches. There were eighteen persons
Dresent. including reporters, spectators.
and tbe gentleman from Orwell. One of
tbe party from Lake county, named Tut
tie, was called to the chair, and Jerome
Bonaparte Phillips, tbe party from Or
well, was chosen scribe. Then came tbe
appointment of two committees, one on
resolutions and tbe other on nomination.
These committees were not made up with
out a struggle not to get on them, but to
get off. For instance, the lone individual
who was responsible for Ashtabula coun
ty, asked to be excused from the commit
tee on resolutions, his duties as scribe be
ing too onerouB to admit of bis dividing
his time with other engrossing cares.
Capt. Dyer, who was named as a mem
oer of tbe committee, arose and explained
ibat for reasons best known to the friends
of the movement here he should be ex
cused. Mr. Dyer, thought that it would
i-e quite as well for Judge Yeomans, who
was also named lor one of the committees,
to ' stop a little." Judge Yeomans then
arose and said that be thought it wonld
be better to have the movement appear to
have existence outside ot Trumbull coun
ty; that it had been charged that the ami
uarneia movement was connned to a
clique in Warren, and if Trnmbull county
men should take part in this meeting the
same charges would continue to be made.
This led Capl. Burrows (Greeleyite) to
propound as toiiows
"Well, Judge, there is tome opposition
to Garfield, in Trumbull county, ain't
there?" .
Judge'Y. "O, yes; I know one . man
standing now belore you. It is not that I
am not in sympathy with you, bnt don't
unnK it good policy to have my name ap
pear in the proceedings."
Hendry, of Lake, didn't think it was
worth while having sore toes in tbis mat
ter, and couldn't see why Judge Yeomans
should not stand up to the rack, "fodder
or no fodder." - j-.

He didn't think Trumbull con nty would

Judge Yeomans replied that the oddo

repeated that he thought Warren men

this holding back of Trumbull county

with anybody to beat Garfield, but with

Judge leomans observed that he did
not wish to throw a damper on tbe "con

For certainly tbe genioas wasted in rogue

and goes into the street to negotiate a
loan upon there. He finds a man who
has money to loan upon real estate. Tbe
Register's books arc examined, the con
vevancs are all clear, the money is loan
ed. Walker disappears. Of course the
fraud is discovered after the lapse of
week or two, and Walker is arrested, and
will go to Sing Sing.' Now, it strikes
me that a mind capable of conceiving and

ought to kuow that legitimate business is

REAL ESTATE,
Some of it in New York has a value des
pite tbe terrible depression. Mr. R. A.
Witthaus has sold to the Union Dime
Saving Bank, for $75,000, the plot of
land on the southerly side of Thirty-Sec
ond street, between Broadway and sixth
avenue. The buildings are of little value,
and formed no p.-irt of the value. The
lots front on the triangular public place at
the intersection of Broadway and Sixth
avenue, 42 feet on Broadway. 40 feet on
Sixth avenue, and about 100 feet on Thir
ty second street. The price is at the rate
of $175,000 for a lot of the usual size.
Mr. Witthaus paid $45,uU0 tor tbe prop
erty about twenty years ago. At this
rate what is New York worth ?
BEER.
1 he (Jermans are up and in arms.
Wednesday last three thousand saloon
keepers met in council, and resolved that
the license laws must be repealed, and
that tbe traffic in beer must be treated
the same as any other business, and also
that tbis question must go into politics,
and be made an isssue. The beer inter
est iu New York is one that has positive
power, and of course politicians will be
found who will recognize it. The Ger
man element is immensely strong here,
and on the question of free beer and tbe
right to drink it Sundays as well as otb
er days it is almost an unit They do
not like to be driyen out of the city for
their Sunday recreations, and they will
make a vigorous fight for, what to them
is a vital matter. This question is one of
the disturbers that come up every little
while to vex the souls of politicians. The
American religious element is inflexibly
opposed to the violation of the Sabbath
the German is as inflexibly determined
to spend it as be pleases. Imaginge tbe
perplexity of the ambitious politician . in
whose district these elements are about

EXPENSIVE FUNERALS.
' Under the present system, it costs from
$50, to $150 to bury a corpse in tbe most
modest way. The most exorbitant prices
are charged for coffins and tbe accompa
niments, all ot which are paid without
a question, tor no man can ask prices
over the -dead body of one loved and
lost. . Then comes carriages, price of lot.
etc., all of which makes a sum that
oppressive to a poor man or one even
in moderate circumstances. Tbe Ger
mans have a society for doing away with
all this. They have taken up the idea of
cremation, and propose to bring it into
vogue. They are building a hall 60x40
feet, fitted with an altar at which relig
ious ceremonies may be had. Back of
tbis altar is to- be a furnace capable of
being heated to 1,000 deg. which melts
soft plates in the metal coffin enclosing
the remains, which heat will reduce tbe
remains to ashes in an hour and a half.
And all this can be done for $8, which is
bringing burial expenses within reach of
the poorest. Tbe Germans will take this
idea and act upon it, for this people have
not the reverence tor ancient forms that
the Americans possess, and tbe form of
disposing of remains is in entire conso
nance with their idea of the fitness of
things. And who knows but alter it has
become a common practice among the
Germans it may be adopted by tbe rest
of mankind t
BEECHER-TILTON.
. statement, appear
ed Friday has stirred up this mess once
more. Public opinion in this city has
once more, veered to Tilton, and it will
probably st.y there till Beecher makes a
statement, when it may shift to him.
Tilton gives tbe world nothing new in
the matter, but he explains tbe wby of
very much of it. For instance, in answer
to the question why, after permitting hi
wire's infidelity to remain a secret with
him for four years, he gave it to the
world, be says that had Elizabeth remain
ed with him, and if the church had lef her
alone, he never should have divulged it
But she left him for the purpose of testi
fying against him, and in sheer self de
fense he was compelled to give the terri
ble truth to thewirld. Moulton' state
ment is a crusher, and has produced a pro
found impression. He fastens his for
mer statements, and makes his case very
cleverly. Now what will Beecher do f
Are we to havo more statement ? He
has said that he will not open his mouth
or put pen to paper on this subject again,
but will trust to the court to clear his
skirts.
It is gratifying to notice the frankness
and fairness with which the Dally Oraph-
c has treated this matter. It has com
mented on thu sad affair in a tone bene
fitting gentlemen, an example which
some of its unsuccessful cotemnorariea
wight have followed with much credit
and more grace.
BUSINESS

Ihe hotels are not only crow,l,.,l h.
crowded, but they do not buy. The South
U buying small stocks, verv am-n i..
the West, to far, is only sorting up. The
meichants are walling to -see what the
condition of things is to be. In uPl
with wheat at the price it Is, tbev are
afraid ty venture, Possibly tbey are right,
but tbe importers and jobbers who have
stocks on band, don't see it. And the
summer has slipped away, we are fairly
into the fall, and tbe eoods are all in tbe
original packages. Iam speaking now
oftbe wholesale trade. The retail busi
ness in the city looks somewhat hopeful
this month, and will keep its cheerful
face, for the people have money, if the
trade only have sense to adopt the rule of
the leading house in America, namely, to
do away with fancy price for any class
of goods, however new or fashionable.
and bring the most tempting articles at
once within the reach ot ordinary buyers-
Tbe novel and nice importations of dress
goods, camel hair cloths, quilted silks,
and fancy fabrics of the latest Parisian
fancy are accordingly put on the cou n-
tcrs at prices which compare with those
of the old-fashioned standards, merino
and British cloths, in tbe eye of careful
purchasers. This idea of selling stock
but once, as merchauts express it, will re
sult in clean counters and equally clean
balancf s next spring. Even India shawls
are no exception to this lule, for the larg
est importers in this line have determined
to put them on the same footing with
other goods, and estimate their value ac
cording to their worth, without paying
200 or 300 per cent tribute to fashionable
caprice. One hears of such comfortable
orders in the trade as $10,000 worth of
American shawls for oue customer, and
$3,000 worth of prints sold at retail at one
counter in a single day. Stewart's bouse
sold off all its first stock of fall goods be
fore tbe first of September and were oblig
ed to order afresh by ocean telegraph to
supply at that date
Nevertheless, the city will see a great
deal ot distress this win'er. There bus
been no building and labor of any kind
this summer, that the working-men have
not been able to keep anything ahead,
and when .the frost puts its embargo on
out of door work there is going to be an
an amount of destitution and suffering
that the city never saw before. Heaven
help the boor tbis winter. And let me
put in a warning here to young men-
keep out of New York this fail and win
ter. There are thousaud upon thousands
ot unemployed men in every department
ot labor. there are one hundred apnli
cauts for every vacancy. Except upon a
sure thing, stay where you are, if you can
earn oreaa and clothes.

PIETRO.
New York, Sept. 15. 1874.
The Louisiana Revolution.
The people of New Orleans are
in an open revolt against the Mate
municipal authorities. The scenes
described in the dispatches on Tues
day morning are of an appalling
nature. The speck of war has
broadened out into a black and low
enng cloud that hangs over the
whole State of Louisiana and threat
ens dire disaster. New Orleans is the
scene oi a new revolution, lhey are
backed by what they hold to be the
genuine and only estate liovernment
They are gathering as militia, and
under orders of Fenn, who was elect
ed Lieutenant Governor with Mc
Enery, and who, in the latter's ab
sence, issues his proclamations and
commands as Governor of Louisiana,
There is revolution in Louisiana, and
New Orleans leads the van.
The people have been ripe for
revolution these two years. At no
time, however, has revolt appeared
so formidable as now. Ihe imme
diate provocation of this ourbreak
was the seizure of arms consigned
to private firms in New Orleans.
Three citizens were arrested on the
charge of having in their possession
stands of arms and quantities or am
unition to be nsed in assisting the
secret organization known as the
White League and against the Me
tropolitan Police. Subsequently
Gen .Badger, the Chief Police, Mr,
Curtis, the Clerk, and Judge McAr-
thnr were brought before Justice
Houston. They were commited to
jail for contempt in refusing to de
liver over the arms that had been
seized, but they were immediately
pardoned by Gov. Kellogff. The
jearch and seizures were continued
throughout last week, and Sunday's
papers contained a 'call, signed by
fifty merchants, for a mass meeting'
at Clay Statue on Canal street( to
protect aeainst - seizures and other
outrages. This call had a response
in the gathering of an immense
throng of people, filling the .streets
for several blocks around. The
meeting passed a resolution calling
upon Kellogg to resign, and a com
mittee was appointed to wait upon
him for his answer. -- He declined
to receive any communication on
tbe ground that it came from an
armed and lawless mob. When his
answer was received, the word went
forth to disperse for arms. Men
went to their houses only to return
with rifles, shot-guns, and small
arms, and to proceed against the ex
isting Government. The Mayor's
office was invaded, and the Mayor
had to give way. Penn, as Acting
Governor, issued a : proclamation
calling upon all. citizens between
the ages of 18 and 4Q to join the
militia. He set forth that this was
not war upon the negroes, who
should be permitted to pursue their
avocations in peace, but against the
thieves, plunderers, and spoilers who
had oppressed the people for two
years. .Then came an order from
the same source conferring the chief
command upon Gen. Jred IN. Ogden
lbe first conflict between the citi
zens and the Metropolitan Police oc
curred on the- levee. Gatling
guns and Winchester rifles on one
side and motely arms of a mob on
the other were sufficient to make
a list of dead and wounded variously
estimated as high as fifty. Ihe Me
tropolitans are said to have suffered
most severely, which was partly
owing, perhaps, to the desertion of
the negro portion of the force; and
Gen. .badger, their Chief, was badly
wounded. Keport has it that Mar
shal Packard and Attorney-General
Dibble were killed or wounded, but
this is not confirmed. United States
troops were at the Custom House,
but took no part in tbo fight. Rein
forcements were expected. At last
accounts the citizens were throwing
up barricades in the "streets, and the
revolt threatened to assume some of
the fierceness and wildness of a rev-
lution in Paris.
Later. The struggle in New Orleaus
had but a short duration. The Kellogg
