A railway collision occurred at Ponlypridd, Wales, on the 19th inst., in which 12 persons were killed and forty wounded. i We learn from the Hastings* Ga zette that C. Charnberlin, of Wa terford, the Greenback candidate for Congress in this district, has finally concluded to accept the nomination and will make a canvass. The St. Paul Globe has got "Down with Washburn and the swindling brass kettles" on the brain. Every article in Saturday's edition ended with the above sentence. The Pioneer Press says that war is looked upon as inevitable between England and Russia in the coming spring and whether that war will lead perturbed Europe no one dare predict. A heavy black frost visited Mem phis and other southern cities last Friday and Saturday night. The temperature fell low enough to al low ice a sixteenth of an inch in thickness to form on small ponds, and the yellow fever in consequence is abating and'the worst of the pes tilence is undoubtedly over. Only eight deaths occured in Memphis during the 24: hours ending at 6 o'- clock Sunday night, and the reports of new cases have correspondingly diminished. Now that Henry Pcehler's soft money proclivities have been estab lished without a doubt, hard money Democrats all over the district are beginning to shun him. Mr. Pceh ler was nominated by~a hard-money convention, and it was supposed that he was a hard money Democrat, but he is so anxious to receive the Greenback vote that he has written letters to several prominent Green backers in the district declaring his support to the main features of their creed. !&* W frequently hear it stated that Major Strait has done nothing in Congress to benefit the people of this district, and especially those living in the frontier counties. The men who make these statements are eith er very ignorent or else they merely make them for political effect. There is no man in Congress who is a more ardent and successful worker than Major Strait. The present extension of the time of final proof for pre emptions due almost entirely to his efforts, he having made a trip to Washington almost exclusively for that. The change in the timber culture act which puts the holding of a timber claim within the possi bilities is also largely due to his ef forts. The bill for the equalization of bounties to soldiers is his bill. The bill for the relief oi settleis on railroad lands was his bill. The bill which passed the House and is now on the Senate calendar for back pay ments of pensions is his also. Be sides he has introduced and passed a very large number of special bills, among the number that for the re lief of Mr. H. C. Petersen of this city, by which Mr. Petersen received $2,000 for property destroyed by the Indians in 1862 also one for the re lief of Dr. A. Muller, also of this city, which has passed the House and is now on the Senate calendar. He is at the head of the Republican members on the committee of Mili tary Affairs, and no member on the committee is more diligent than he. No other Congressman is more prompt in attending to the multifari ous calls of his constituents, no one of whom, no matter how humble, has ever written i him without re ceiving an answer. It is true he is no great orator, but he is one of the successful workers in Congress which, to us, is much better than reputation for windy speeches. No Republican ought for a moment he sitate on his duty on election day between Strait and Pcehler who has no qualifications for a Congressman besides being a died-in-the-wool Democrat. EJLECT HIM. From the Janesville Argus. Brandt, the man from Brown county who stood up so nobly for cheap text books in the Legislature last winter and who struck the hard est blows in opposition of the book ring, has been renominated by his constituency and stands a fair show of election. We hope he may be. We know of no man who deserves better of the people. An Irishman's Reason for Supporting Major Strait. It is a well known fact that Maj". Strait supported Gen. Schields, the Union soldier, for doorkeeper of the house of Representatives last winter, in place of the southern confederate Grishman eneral who was finally elected. An of Scott county writes a letter to the Shakopee Courier giving his reasons for supporting Major Strait, closing as follows: "Now Mr. Editor, I write to say to you, that in that contest between a rebel general, and a true Irish Democratic soldier, Mr. Strait, the Republican member of Congress from this district voted for my coun tryman, Mr. Schields. I honor Mr. Strait for doing so, and he shall in return receive my vote, and I hope every Irishman in the district will resolve likewise. I want to show him and every American that my countrymen have never gone back of the man that honors so distin guished a son of old Ireland. ERIN. CAMPAIGN IilES. Bed Wing Republican. The Winona Republican, though in another district, observes that the present campaign against Major Strait is chiefly one of personal de traction and fault finding and it thinks the objections trivial, and the whole style of canvass petty and contemptible. That will be conceded by plenty of Democrats, who yet will think all is fair in politics if it helps their side to win. 4 The campaign is, in that respect, unlike any former one against Maj. can. ppp Strait. The intelectual Democracy have always affected to object to Maj. Strait's mental calibre and in tellectual acquirements, but detrac tion has stopped with that. Now that forms but one of the disqualifi cations, defects, faults, offences, which the Republican say are indus triously disseminated and enlarged upon by Mr.Pcehler and his co work ers. Now, this is Strait's fourth can vass. He is no stranger in his dis trict. He has lived in this state from a boy. He is personally the most popular man in Scott county, as has been proved repeatedly. That fact is conclusive that the bits of scandal that go to impeach his personal in tegrity and character as a man and gentleman are untrue. They are invention, wilful fabrications for po litical purposes. That is not all. They are late in ventions, recent lies, just coined. They were never heard of before. They are not only known to be false among Mr, Strait's neighbors, but they have never in former campaigns been whispered against him, even in the remote corners of the district. They may be called Pcehler's issue, put in circulation by and for him, Pcehler's currency. They resemble the fiat money in which Pcehler has subscribed belief, in being irredeem able, based on nothing, easily made, easily increased in number, getting dirtier and dirtier as they are used. We thus stamp the whole issue, made or yet to be made. W have no time nor patience to take the petty slanders one at a time. No man of good sense will be influenced by personal charges against a candi date, trumped up on his fourth cam paign for the first time. THE NATIONAL BANKS. How they Fare in a Business Point of "View. WASHINETON, Oct. 7th.Three hundred and twenty-eight national banks, with a capital of $48,797,900, paid no dividends for the six months ending march 1,1878, and 357 banks, with a capital of $58,576,650, paid no dividends for the six months end ing March 1, 1878, and 357 banks, with a capital of $58,576,950, paid a dividend for the six months ending Sept. 1, 1878. For the first six months of the year 1876, 238 nation al banks, with a capital of $34,290,- b00, and for the second six months of the same year, 273 national banks with a capital of $44,000,- 000, paid no dividends. For the first six months of the year 1877, 245 national banks, with a capital of $40,452,000, and for the second six months of the same year, 288 banks with a capital of $41,166,200, paid no dividends. The ratio of earnings to capital and surplus of national banks for the year 1876 was 6.9 per cent in 1877, 5.6 per cent and for 1878 less than six per cent. The cipher telegrams which pass ed between Mr. Tilden and his a gents in Florida in 1876, translations of which ore now being published by the New York Tribune, reveal the facts that the agents in question were Manton Marble, C. W Wool ley, and John Coyle. Proposi tions regarding the bribery of a member of the Canvassing Board passed between Tilden's residence and these agents in Tallahassee. One proposition to flay $200,000 for* a member was held too high, because another dispatch from a different a gent promised a cheaper bargain. Then by two agents separate propo sitions were sent in separate ciphers to buy a member for $50,000. The reply from Gramercy Park was: "Proposition accepted if done only once," and the two agents were se parately ordered to consult with each other in haste. It does not ap pear, however, that the goods would have been delivered. But the scheme failed because four words were dropped from the dispatch authoriz ing the purchase, thus making it unintelligible. I was after some delay repeated from Gramercy Park in an intelligible form, but arrived too late, and agents so reported to headquarters.

The Review is a plucky life paper and can be obtained for a whole year for the small sum of $1,00. Chas.

O'Hara has been nominated for representative by the Democrats of Renville county. Ed. was a candidate foi Clerk of Court but as Billy McGow en proved too much for him he took the next best thing. Our last snow and rain has complete ly done away with those dangerous* prairie fires. Rain in this locality was very much needed as the land was so very dry that the farmers experienced some difficulty in plowing. We were taken by surprise on turn ing out on the morning of Thursday last to find snow ankle deep, it disap peared4however in a few hours time, and the day following was very pleas ant. The grain market keeps lively. Quite a large quantity of wheat is being brought in by the farmers, who are trying to reconcile themselves to the low prices. We also have a good mark et for potatoes as M. H. Gamble, one of our leading merchants, is buying several car loads for shippment to the eastern markets. He payes the highest market price. Mike Gamble shipped several car loads of fat cattle to the Chicp-go mark ets last week. Ambros Parsons also went down with a car load. We' all hope that the boys may make a fortune on life stock. We must fill up the building list. M. H. Gamble has built anew corn hOuse, the largest we have ever seen. Dr. Hitchcock has made himself generally useful by occupying his spare moments in building a large and commodious wood shed The doctor is quite a mechanic, and one of those jolly good natured fellows that soon win the good will of the community in winch they reside.
