of the manner in which he succeeded

Rev. William II. Goode, inflicts
two-and-a-half mortal columns of pro
found observations relative to the
woman question, on the readers of the
last Telegram, in answer to three grave
questions, with which he commences
his article, to-wit: "What are the
tendencies of the day." What is the
effect of the present popular move
ment? Whither are we drifting?" If
all his conclusions are true, and he
would not set us down as being special

queries by the use of two words butt
like him, we "forbear,"
The personal property belonging to
the Richmond Street Railway Compa
ny, such as cars, horses, harness, etc,
was sold by the U. S. Marshal Satur
day last, upon a judgment obtained by
B. F. Jones: et. al.. in the District
Court of the U. S. Some of the prop
erty was bid in by the company and
some by out-side parties, but in clos
ing up the sale, as we learn, a difficul
tv of some kind arose that unsettled
the whole affair and left matters in
caotic state. What will be the next
step no one at present can foretell.
The real estate of the company was
sold on Thursday.

Blackstone and Chitty and all . that,
sort of thing, but it was well demon
strated here last Saturday that he
knew nothing about the management
of a horse car on a down grade! He
stepped on the platform of one at the
turn table tt the crossing of Fifth
street and attempted to drive down
in front of the Huntington House
where Deputy U. S. Marshal Biglow
was conducting the sale, and made
such a display of awkardness in man
aging the horse and car, that the spec

shouted "down with the brakes;
down with tho brakes;" to such an ex

ready confused hero, that he', actually
showed fight. It is said he did so far
forget the proprieties of the occasion
as to commit an assault on one of our
Quaker citizens, but explanations and
apologies followed and all things were
set right again.

'We are pleased to learn that
Professors Henrv A. Fabkr and R.
H. Langdale have opened a Com
mercial College at 200 and 202 Vine
Street, Cincinnati. Prof. Faber was
Principal of Nelson's College for up
ward of six years, and has been for
the last six years a successful practi
tioner of law. Prof. Langdale, for
several years Principal of Nelson's
College, has had nine years' experi
ence as book-keeper and financier of
one of the largest business houses in
Cincinnati. They are both well
known as Commercial teachers, and
we have no doubt they will meet with
that success which their ability and
experience deserve. Young men con
templating to enter a commercial col
lege will do well to call on or address
the proprietors, as above.
The Democratic District Central

Mnl Agriculture.
The following is a report made
by Daniel Bulla to a meeting of the
Richmond Horticultural Associ
ation, held at Jesse Starr's, on the
11th inst., on the condition of this
year's crops in this vicinity :
''The wheat harvest is about over.
and an over average one some of
the best fields of wheat that the
country has had for many years.
It has been good haying weather
for the last three weeks, and the
farmers took advantage of it and
mowed away a good supply. Al
though the clover is short, the
quality is good. The prospect for
corn is good, though it wants rain
in some places. The chinch bug is
making its appearance in some
localities. . Some fields ol wheat
were full of the pest The potato
crop bids fair to be a plentiful one.
The sweet potatoes look well. The
oats crop is short on account of the
early dry weather. I think, taking
it altogether, we will have over an
average crop.
' More Salary sad How to Get It.
Just now the issuing of the follow
ing card, in substance, would be in
order from the pen of Mayor Elder:
"Ready Card-Writer. The pub
lic can bear witness to the facility with
which I defended my casting vote,
putting $200 more in my pocket as
salary, than I would otherwise have
received; and, also, to the adroitness
with which I disposed of the charge
brought against me by Davis of the
Palladium, in which he arraigned me
for failing to take notice of a breach
of the peace perpetrated in my pres
ence by the Chief of Police, by wri
ting that masterly card in the Inde
pendent, in which I denounced said
Davis as a "low-flung malicious liar!"
and squelched him completely! Hence,
and for the purpose of further increas
ing my salary as Mayor, and keeping
my hand in as an expert Card-Writer,
I solicit my fellow-citizens of the
Democratic persuasion, who may have
either real or imagined difficulties
with their neighbors which they may
desire to have settled through the
columns of the Daily Independent, to
give me a call, in the rear of the
Council Chamber, in the Warner
...ij. - 4t - 1 v..
,? , . , T : ,
as a Mayors office, where 1 will be
happy to serve them to the best of my
ability. Prices reasonable. During
warm weather, if preferred, I can be
consulted in front of Engine House
No. 3 until 12 M., each day. Patron
age solicited. James Elder,
Prof, of R. C. W.,
And Mayor of the city of Richmond."
St. Xietaolaa for Aafsit
Is an excellent 'iiot -weather" number.
It contains "The Affair of the 'Sand
piper,' " a story of adventures on the
water, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps;
"A Whaleman's Ghost," a story of the
ocean, by J. II. Woodbury; and even
a poem, telling in a very quaint and
amusing way, "How a Little Bird
went to Sea." There are large install
mcnts of the two serials, 'Fast Friends,'
by J. T. Trowbridge, and "What
Might Have Been Expected," by
Frank R. Stockton. As the first of
these is a story of the North and the
other of the South, the adventures of
the boy-heroes are not at all similar.
Natural History receives a good deal
of attention in this number. The
Zoological Gardens of London arc de
scribed, with eight pictures of their
occupants; there is a story in b rench
(lor translation) of a Pet Monkey; the
exploits of some "Missionary Insects"
are told; there is a sketch of the life
and adventures of a Snail; and certain
ants that raise crops and Borne birds
that lay out streets are described by
the lively and wise " Jack-in-the-Pul-pit."
Mrs. Jane (r. Swisshelm con
tributes "Willie's Little Brown Sis
ter," a sketch of the far West; and
Mrs. A. M. Diaz has a thoroughly
New England sketch, "The Moving of
the Barn," with funny amateur pic
tures. The poems, "In Summer
Time," and "The Little Doll that
Lied," are each marked by a peculiar
quaint humor that will be sure to
make them widely read and quoted,
and the first is most exquisitely illus
trated from designs by the author.
Besides all this there is a beautiful
frontispiece; short stories by Charlotte
Adams and Lizzie VV. Uhampney; a
practical article on Wood-Carving and
the usual excellent special depart
ments. Caulns; an Old Cltiaea!
Several of our butchers, led on
by John M." Faxson, went to Stacy
H. Wilkins place of business, be
tween 5th and 6th streets, on Tues
day morning last, and, after gravely
charging and proving to the satis
faction of the excited sanguinary
men, and. by his own confession,
that, in the course of human events,
he, Stacy H. Wilkins, had become
a grand sire, they did thereupon,
with the utmost deliberation and
with great satisfaction to the caners
as well as the caned, present Mr.
Wilkins with a cane (somewhat
rough in appearance) to assist him
in his daily peregrinations; suppos
ing, as a matter of course, that this
circumstance occurring with him
for the first time, would necessitate
his leaning for support upon a staff!
The presentation speech of Mr.
Paxson was good, and the reply of
Mr W. was to the point especially
when the latter said that the staff,
from its size, seemed to be "just
the thing for cold weather!"
lac Printers.
From the Cincinnati Gazette of
yesterday morning we learn that a
number of the Gazette s hands
were poisoned by arsenions acid
bavin cr been placed in the coffee
used at the midnight lunch usually
partaken of by the typos. In con-
sequence of a difference between
the proprietors and the ' old em-
ployes regarding the price Of Com-
position, they wero discharged and
new ones employed from Indian
apolis in their places. The dose
administered was too large to be
fatal, and excessive vomiting and
purging ensued. The Gazette says: I
"After midnisrht a half dozen or
more of the lately discharged prin
ters were standing on the sidewaiK
on the opposite side of the street,
.ooking with considerable interest
at the composing room windows.
This circumstance is not in favor of
their innocence of complicity in the
crime. uuier eyiueuce uaa ucou
obtained which will aid in detect
ing the criminals. It was apparent
yesterday that there was a deep
and bitter feeling against the "gen-
tlenien from Indianapolis," as the
new employes are'called, and es
pecMUy against the few of the Un
ion men who have left the Union
and have been re employed. It
was hardly expected, however, that
this feeling would assume the mur
derous form of an attempt to poi
son the whole force, and if it is of
course understood that only the
most reckless of the discharged
men, or perhaps some more mali
cious persons who have not been at
all employed in the Gazette omce,
could be capable of such a course.
FROM DALTON.
Dal ton, Ind., July 16th, 1874. We
have made arrangements with our
correspondent "Ray," to furnish us
all local matters of interest happening
in his neighborhood. He furnishes
us the following terrible accident,
from the careless handling of coal oil,
and mentions two singular cases of
disease prevailing there, promising
us the particulars in his next.
About, 8 o'clock last evening, a son
of Larkin Moon, aged about eight
years, while attempting to kindle a
fire by puringcoal oil over living coals,
the oil at once ignited, ran into the
snout of the can, which contained
near a gallon of oil, and exploded
His clothes were saturated, and in a
moment was in a sheet of flames
Before the names could be extin
guished, the boy was burned so badly,
on removing his clothing, the skin
came off in flakes. Physicians were
at once summoned, and applied reme
dies, but availed nothing. About
half-past three o'clock this morning
death relieved the little fellow of his
intense suffering. Mrs Newton, Allen
and William Lamb, were both badly
burned on the hands and arms in try
ing to extinguish the flames.
We have two cases of some kind of
disease which does not appear to be a
sickness, that has been of ten month
duration, which in some particulars,
resemble the sleeping beauty of Teu
nesee, and which baffles the skill of
our best Physicians. If you wish I
can give you the particulars, Rat.
For I lie Palladium.
LETTER.
AN OPEN
To any Manufacturer: What think
you ot a joint-stock organization ot
your firm members, employees, etc.,
for a " Co-operative Restuarant "
wherein any person would at cheap
but not eleemosynary rates obtain
the privilege of lunch, libi.iry, lava
tory, etc., (a swimming bath for each
sex would be the perfect thing.)
In a dense manufacturing precinct.
over-crowding would be avoided by
divers hours of recess.
Had our well-meaning "crusading"
ladies, ot both sexes, expended the
time and means at their disposal in
sucn an enterprise, tney might nave
accomplished more enduring and every
way more satisfactory results than at
tended their impracticable efforts to
force things.
An engineer desirous of diverting
the course of a river, does not depend
wholly on prayer or exhortation, but
quietly proceeds to make his short
cut, then at the proper time, all being
ready, a stroke of the pick, and lo i
the stream, rushing headlong in the
new channel, ever widening and deep
ening. In our age and country one
may not dictate what another shall or
shall not swallow, whether physical or
speculative, but one may provide some
thing better.
Such, also, is the way in which the
God of nature works, by counter at
traction. Very truly aud respectfully
yours, Geo. II. Knight.
Cincinnati, July 19, 1874.
The Springfield Republican says:
"The traffic in liquors is gradually re
turning to its old haunts, though it is
not always resumed, it is said, by men
who abandoned it in the revival;
many of these were earnest converts,
and stick to their principles. Many of
the places where the crusade was
most hotly carried on, and where the
most success was achieved, are like
the man in Scripture into whose
hearts empty, swept and garnished
chamber the once dispossessed spirit
returns with seven others worse than
himself, and the latter state of the
towns is worse than the first."
Suicide or Women.
The community of Forest Grove
Ind., was startled by the report that
a young lady, Mary J. Dalj nor, aged
eighteen, had committed suicide by
hanging, on Thursday last. She wrote
a letter to a young man named Joseph
Bradenburgh, who had been paying
particular attention to her, and on
Saturday evening he went to the house
to find her a corpse. The affair is
shrouded in mystery, but the suppo
sition expressed is that a false report
that Brandenburg wes about to marry
another lady caused the unfortunate
girl to do tne rash act.

Steam Turning Establlahinent.
" More Turners than Dish Ma-
kers," is an established fact ; and
if you desire to see experts at the
turning business just call at C.
Newman & Sons1 Steam Turning
Manufactory, immediately North of
the First National Bank. Without
exaggeration, we believe the New
man Factory could turn any object
from the size of a cambric needle
to one of the largest sized Egyptian
Pyramids, provided either were or-
jered, and the latter required to be
, . ,
A -gyrate, they do all
kinds i wood turning in a supen-
or and satisfactory manner. As
Croquet Manufacturers,the Messrs.
Newman cannot be excelled in the
United States. Give them a call.

The Cbleaa; fire
The "Inter Ocean," in speaking
of the fire and its.efects, thus para
doxically makes a summing up
"It was sad, distressing, terrible
to thouusands; but four fifths of the
territory it swept over was actually
relieved of an incumberance in the
shape of shanties utterly unfit for
the occupancy of human beings.
While such tenements remained,
avarice and cupidity, coupled with
cruel necessities of poverty, made
them serve as habitations; but once
destroyed, they fortunately cannot
be rebuilt; and the land denuded of
its, excrescences is worth more for
their riddance. The city itself as
a wuoie nas gainea oy me nro, ana
ill is tuereiore, uuuiny tue uuiy 01
the city its government, its char
itable societies, and its people to
see that the real sufferers are made 1
comfortable until such times as
they are able to secure work and
so replace their modest household
effects."
en. p. O. Howard's Case.
The special Court of Inquiry to
investigate the charge against Gen.
O. O. Howard, as Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau submitted
their finding an opinion which have
been approved by the President,
as follows.
OPINIOX OF THE COURT.
ist. Tne court is of opinion
that, in the matters referred to it
for investigation, Gen. O. O. How
ard has not, with knowledge and
intent, violated any law of Congress,
regulation of the army, or rule of
morais ana taai no is -not gtuiry.
upon legal, technical, or moral re
sponsibility in any of the offenses
charged.
Second. The court finds that
Gen. Howard, when charged by his
superiors with a great work arising
out of the war, devoted his whole
time and all his faculties and ener-
ines to the execution of that work.
In this he employed hundreds of
assistants, and dealt with hundreds
of thousands of men. In regard
wv, wumi.un; x-a Uivucj, atJ
pears that his accounts are closed
and settled to the satisfaction of
the accounting officers of the Treas
ury, whose decisions in such mat
ters are by law the highest author
ity, "final and conclusive upon the
executive branch of the government,
and - subject to revision only by
Congress or the propper courts."
Third. In relation to the invest
ment of certain public money in
United States bonds, while the
court does not hold that such in
vestments were justified by existing
laws, yet in view of the fact (hat
these investments were made only
under the opinion and advice of
the Second Controller, the court
attaches no blame to Oen. Howard
therefor. The investments of por
tions of a similar fund, viz: the
"irregular bounty fund," had pre
viously been authorized by express
law.
Fourth. Some questions arising
out of the sudden termination of
the operations and organization of
the Freedmen's Bureau yet remain
to be settled with those who were
formerly subordinates and assist
ants to the Commissioner. Some
few erroneous payments made by
honest subordinates, and some
others made or not made by officers
now dead or cashiered for frau I,
remain to be adjusted. The ad
justment of these matters belongs
properly to the successors of Gen.
Howard in the bureau, and in these
matters, as in all others brought
to the notice of the court during
thirty-seven days of careful and
laborious investigation, the court
finds that General Oliver O. How
ard did his whole dnty, and believes
he deserves well of his conntry.
The foregoing report and opinion
having been submitted, with the
proceedings, to the President, the
following are the orders thereon:
The finding of the Court of In
quiry is approved.

There Is no pain which the Centaur Linl
ment will not relieve, no swelling it will
i not subdue, and no lameness which it will
not cure. This is strong language, but it ia
true. Where the parts are not gone, its ef
fects are marvelous. It has produced more
ciues of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock Jaw,
palsy, sprains, swellings, cake-breasts,
scalds, burns, salt rheum, ear ache, etc., up
on the human frame, and of strains, spavin,
galls, etc., upon animals in one year than
have all other pretended remedies since the
world began. It is a counter irritant, an
all-healing poin-rellever. Cripples throw
I away their crutches, the lame walk, poison
I ous bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without a scar. It is
no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. It is selling as no article ever
before sold, and It sells because It does just
what it pretends to do. Those who now suf
fer from rheumatism, pain or swelling de
serve to suffer if tbey will not use Centaur
Liniment. More than 1,000 certificates of
remarkable cures, Including frozen limbs.
chronio rheumatism, gout, running tumors,
etc., have been received. We will send a
circular containing certificates, the recipe,
etc., gratis to any one requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centaur Lin
iment is worth one hundred dollars forspav
ined or sweenied horses and mules,' or for
screw-worm in sheep. Rtock owners, this
liniment is worth your attention.' No fam
ily should be without Centaur Liniment.
