The Fourth of July will pay us its usual
annual visit in a little less than two weeks,
and thus far we have not heard of any
move being made for its proper celebration
in this vicinity, aside from a few private

the proposition tD celebrate the day in the
genuine old-fashioned manner, with a sham
battle, of which the JUpuUiean says :

The Boston Herall has made a careful
estimate of the political outlook in Mas

conclusions are that Talbot has lost some
strength, but not sufficient to endanger his

that Butler is no nearer BilcceU'ihan ever;
and that the Democratic nomination for
Governor is now generally regarded as a
source of weakness.

Why isn't that a good idea for Leaven
worth? We might have a celebration of
that kind, which would be more interesting
to the people than anything else that could
be done. Have the Metropolitan Guards
on one side and a volunteer company from
the Fort on the other, the whole to
be under the general command of
some of the officers at the out, and we
could have just as interesting a celebration
of the day as there will be anywhere. It
would only take a few days to make the
necessary preparations, and there is time
enough yet, if the work is commenced at
once, to have everything in readiness.
If one or two of the public-spirited gen
tlemen atFortLeavenworth will volunteer to
take command of the a flair, and overt e
and direct the work of making prepara

In referring to the financial embarrass
ment of the Bishop of Montreal, the Chica
go Times says there is a partial explanation
in the circumstance that the holy man has
been living at an expense to the diocese of
$10,000 a year. This allowance, which is a
tolerably liberal one for a single gentleman
of supposed ascetic habits, the 'bishop has
consented to forego, and he will abandon
bis palace for the present and content him
elf with more modest quarters in the sub
urbs. One gratifying circumstance in con
section with Archbishop Purcell's compli
cations is that the charge of extravagance
in his personal expenditures could never be
brought against htm.

The proposed strike of spinners in the
Fall Biver mills calls attention to a new
contrivance which threatens gradually to
supplant the present spinning machinery in
cotton mills, making the manufacturer
largely independent of this class of their
help. The "ring-spindle frame" does all the
work of the "mule" in a much smaller
pace, and can be tended by one girl in
place of the six men and boys now required
for that service. The expense of introduc
ing the new machinery is what retains the
old service in place, but if pushed too hard
the companies will be forced to make the
change.

The nomination of General Eving as a
candidate for Governor, by the Democratic
party of Ohio, bring into prominence again
bis famous 'Order No. 11." This order
was for the utter depopulation'of seven 1
counties in Western Missouri, infested with
bushwhackers. It was dated, "Headquar
ters, District of the Border, Kansas City,
Mo,Augut 23, 1SG3," and commanded
that every inhabitant of the counties of
Jackson, Cass and Bates, except those liv
ing within one mile of three named town
ships, and except a part of Kaw township,
in Jackson county, and the inhabitants cf
that part of Vernon county which lay
within the military district, should
remove within fifteen days. It
announced that such of them as could bring
proof of loyalty would be permitted to
move to any military station in the district,
but that all the rest must move out oi the
district. It announced that such hay and
grain in thee counties as wm in stacks or
undercover, and within reach of military
stations in the district, might be hauled by
the owners to the said station", where it
would be receipted for, and that after fif
teen days all the rest would be destroyed.
In short, the order commanded the im
mediate banishment of all the people in the
several counties of our neighboring State,
named above. For this set, the Democrats
at that time called General Eing a mon
ster of tyranny ; but time seems to have
effectually healed the wound, and Firing is
now the standard bearer if the Democracy in
the State of Ohio, with a fair prospect of
becoming their candidate for President next
year.
Some person at Kansas City made a
painting of a scene in the exodm caused by
General Ewing's order, and this picture
has been engraved, and copies of its are be
ing ditributed among the Ohio Democrats.
The picture has in the foreground men,
women, and children hurriedly gathering
up their household stuff for departure,
some moving off, some aged and sick lying
on the ground, where women are beseech
ing unrelenting soldiers to relent. Various
kinds of distress incident to such an evic

but all are a feeble picture of the real suf

If Ewing had been a Confederate Gener
al, and the people evicted had all been sup
porters of the Union cause, the Democracy
would know how to defend the man and
the act. But they will not know what to
do with such a case as this. They will be
unable to make any defense. Their guns
are all trained in the wrong direction.

The closing of the mill at Fall It'vtr
will stop the distribution of about
$100,000 a weeK in wage, or 1,300,000 in
three months. The pictures of distress
which there figures su?gest,in cae of a pro
longed strike, is appalling to look upon,
and the result can only prove disastrous to
the interests ol all classes among which
those hundreds of thousands cf dollars or
dinarily circulate. The laboring men of
Fall River are said to have lc-t S200.000
by the strike of 1S70, without subsequent
compensation; why should they persist in
repeating the folly of that year upon a still
larger scale,and with still smaller prospects

Georgia jurie have, in two recent im

material they arc made of by finding ver
diets utterly at variance "with the tra
ditions and practice of Southern states.
In the case of Cox, tried a menth ago for
the murder of Alston, and in the case of
Hill, tried a few days ago for the murder
of Simmons, there were circumstances
which might have lieen expected to swerve
the minds of a Southern jury in favor cf
the prisoners. Cox killed Alston in what
mi2ht be called a fair Georgia fight, since
both men were armed and both
drew their pistols at about the
same time, Cox being wound
ed and Alston shot dead in the fusillade
that followed. It was, in fact, a duel.
forced br Cox. but still a duel, in which
the pr:ie were on a nearly equal foot

Hill was alleged to have been the seducer
of the murderer's wife, and although this
allezation was cot borne out bv the evi
dence, it was reasonable to expect it would
have its weight on the jury. But, notwith
standing these facts, acd in spite of the
mute eloquence of the wife of the prison
er, in ech case sitting br hi side during
the trial, the juries found both prisoners
guilty of murder in the first degree. They
were just verdicts, undoubtedly, but stern

A Horse's Manser Signal.
bU Paul (Minn.) Pioneer l"res.l
Yesterday mornicg Mr. George Fortwen
gler, a farmer living in Richland township,
called at the Pioncer-Prcss office, with a
statement showing the remarkable sagacity
of a mare in the presence of danger. On
Thursday morning hi son placed two brood
mares and colts in a pasture near a tama
rack swamp on his farm. The pasture and
swamp were separated by a deep ditch, and
at one point a bridge was laid aero- the
ditch, but this was raised after the mare
had been placed in tbe pasture. The fon
returned and joined his lather; the two con
tinuing at work in a corn field at some dis
tance lrom the pasture until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, when he was surprised to see
one of the mares, called Kate, running rap
idly toward him. having leaped across the
wide ditch. After reaching Mr. Fortwen
gler, in great excitement, the mare neighed
twice, then wheeled about and ran ofi
again in the direction of the pasture.
Mr. Fortwer.gler remarked to hi son
"'There must be something wrons with the
colt," and started after the mare, followed
by the dog. UKra reaching a high ridge
of ground running along the edge of the
swamp, he saw Kate standing on the south
side of the ditch and the other on the north
side. Mr. F. thought he saw one of the
colts standirg about one rod and a half
from Kate, but when he approached nearer
he found the supposed celt to be a large
wolf. Upon seeing Mr. Fortwengler the
wolf jumred acrou the ditch, and was
chased off by the dog. The two mares held
the positions on either eide of the ditch,
and when Mr. F. came up to them he found
the two colts standing in two feet of water
in the ditch, into which they had evidently
been driven by the wolf. They were out of
sight, and the sigacious' uure warned her
owner of their danger in her own peculiar
way, bat at an eminently opportune mo
ment. Terrible Strnsslr with a Xanie

There is a good deal in a name, and
especially in a name so long as Hicken
looper. Hickenlonper is the name of the
Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor
in Ohio, who wa uominuted to pre
vent another man with a weird name Mr.
Seasongood from carrying off the honors,
llickeclooper is not very widely known in
Ohio or the west generally, and the news ot
his selection was rather a surprire and a
trial to the editors of the country newspa
ers, who had to guess and gag at hi name
like chickens endeavoring to compass lhe
uegiuiiiiou oi an over-s:zeu earinworm.
One paper in Minnesota declares boldly
that "Fo'ter and Loppenhicker will sweep
the State by C0.O00;" another in Illinois
cries, "We personally favored Taft and
roster, but the old Western Reserve will
come out solid for Foster and Pickle hook
er;'' a third and this in Ohio
ays, in all the majesty of
sreat black letters, "Foster and
Hojipenkicker beat them who can;" a
fourth in Iowa protests that "Foster and
I'opi enhickle will awake such enthusiasm
as the Buckeye State has rarely resounded
with;" the head-lined of a fifth, in Wiscon
sin, are: "Twogloiioua men Foeter and
Pickenchooper the nominees;" a sixth, and
again in Ohio, declare that the "Democra
cy can find no ticket to successfully oppose
Foster and Pickylooper;" a seventh, also in
Ohio, hoists, alone with an eagle and an
American ilag "Oar stalwart standard
bjarers Foftir and Choopenlickcr;" an
eighth, still in Ohio, annouuecs a mass-
meeting "to ratify the nomination of Gov.
Foster and Gen. Pooklehickeu;" and yet
another, in Pennsylvania, where it fairly
rains jaw-bresking name, enthusiastically
yells at the top cf its tvpe, "Tiger for
Foster! 'Rih for Chickfepicken!" It L
perhaps not a very important matter, still
it would avoid confusion if the Republican
editors and orators would meet in conven
tion and agree to fhout for the second man

be Uickenlcoper, Loppenhicker, Picklecho

The Ohio Nationals were rapeatedly

sorted to other tactic to fill up the time

The army bill was then taken up, acd
Mr. Beck occupied a large portion of the
day in reading affidavits regarding the use
of troops at the polls in Kentucky in lSOo.
Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Blaine followed with
a discussion regarding the conduct of an
Indiana regiment in the Mexican war, and
the unkind comment made on the Hookers
by a Southern i-chool history. At b p. m..
Mr. Withers, who had charge of the bill,
manifested a deire to clo-e the debate acd
proceed to a vote. Mr. Conkling, who had
prepared a speech against the bill, demurred
to this proceeding, and urged that the vote
be deferred until Thursday, in order to
give the Republicans an opportunity to
discuss the provisioiu of the bill relating to
the use of troop as police to preserve the
peace on election days. With this object in
view he mads a motion to adjourn, intim
ating that if it were voted down the Repub
licans could easily defeat the Democratic
intention to force a vote by resorting to
filibustering tactics.
The motion to adjourn wa defeated, and
then the Republicans refused to answer to
their names on sub-cqueat roll-calls, thus
leaving theSenate wiihont aqiiornci. The
efforts of the Sergeint-at Arias failed to
bring in enough Democrats to make a
quorum, acd the ni;-ht passed in disagree
ment and strifes, lhe Republic in con
tinued to urge the other fide to coni-ent to
adjournment, bnt without succe?. Shortly
after midnight Mr. Conkling, in a brief
speech in defense of the tactic of the Re
publican, declared his willingne to ac
cept a full measure of responsibility fcr
the course himself and associates were pur
suing, and asserted that the Democrats had
been guilty of bad faith in not making
allowance for the time given
up to the discussion cf the Mi-sL-sippi
River Commission, bill. This
seems to have had the same effect ca Mr.
Lamar as a red rair is said to have en an
angry bull, though why he should take it
particularly to heart i a dark mystery,
since the remark applied not to any" indi
vidual, but to the whole Democratic ma
jority. With a fine disregard alike of de
cency acd the rule of the Senate, he aroe
and declared that if the Senitor from New
York imputed bad faith to him, or meant
to intimate tlia,t anything he hid done wa
not in good faith, then the Senator from
New York was guilty of a falfehrod, which
Mr. Lamar, said, "I rejiel with all the un
mitigated contempt that I feel fjr the au
thor of it."
More unparliamentary linguage or a
worse brsach of decorum hail not occurred
in the Senate since the ante-bellum fire
eaters ruled that body. Mr. Conkling's re
ply was very offensive, hut it wa both par
liamentary aud well-deserved. After re
marking that he had cot fully caujht Mr.
Lamsr's opening word, he continued:
1 have only to say that if the Sinator,
the member from Mississippi, did impute,
or intended to impnte, to me a falsehood,
nothing except the fact of this Senate would
prevent my denouncing him a a black
guard and a coward. Applause and
hisses Let me be more siitcific, Mr.
President, should the member from Missis
sippi, except in the presence of the Senate,
charge me by intimation or otherwi-e with
falsehood, I would denounce Lim a a
blackguard, a a coward, zn la liar. The
rules and proprieties of the Senate are the
only restrain upon me. I do not think I
eed say anything else, Mr. President.
Applause and hisses
In answer to this, Mr. Lamar said:
I have only to ssy that the Senator from
New York understood me correctly. I did
mean to say just precisely the wcrds, and
all I imparted. I beg pardon of the Sen
ate for unparliamentary language. It was
very harsh ; it wa very strong ; it wa
such as no man would deserve, and no
brave man would bear.
There the debate ended. In former time
such insults could only be wiped out in
blood, and it is possible, though doubtful,
that a dual may take place between the
angry Senators. But whether folly or good
sense rules their future conduct, there can
be no doubt that the Republican., led by
Mr. Conkling, were in the right, and the
Democrats, as represented by Mr. Lamar,
were in the wrong on the question at is
sue. The Republican minority had a
perfect right to init -upon being granted
an opportunity to discus. the bill.acd when
that opportunity was refu?ed they had Ja
right to resort to filibustering tactic to
bring the Democrats to term.
