Congressman Dunnell is making a vigorous campaign in the First District and he is meeting with un expected success All of his meet ings having so far been well attend ed and very enthusiastic. Chief Ouray, tho famous chief of the Ute Indians, died on Sunday the 30th ult. He has rendered valua ble services to the government, and was a friend of the whites on all occasions. A census enumerator in Georgia found a boy in Troup county in that State, who is only twelve years of age, but is married to a large fine looking woman, and they are living happily on a farm. The husband is said to be a thrifty young man. On Saturday, the 29th ult., five boys were swept off a car and killed while passing through a bridge, on the Lowell and Lawrence railroad in Massachusetts. The boys were stealing a ride on the top of a pas senger coach. The Democratic convention of the First Congressional district, which was held at Owatonna on Wednesday of last week, nominated Hon.H R. Wells, of Preston, Fill more county, as the candidate for Representative. The result of next Tuesday's election in the State of Maine is looked forward to with considerable anxiety by both parties, but the in dications are that the Republicans will carry the Slate by a good round majority. Senator Blaine predicts 7,000. The Mankato Free Press, under the new managers, seems to lean considerably towards Dunnell as a Congressional candidate from the first district. While under Gen Baker's control it was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Ward. The farmers of Decoria, Blue Earth county, have formed a protec society, for the purpose of pro tecting themselves against thieving, but more especially horse stealing. Such societies ought to be formed in every community if this were done there would be fewer horses stolen than there are at present. a letter re-nomi Mr. Poehler published some time ago declining a nation to Congress, because his bus iness required his attention at home. But having become convinced of Maj. Strait's election he concluded that he could stay at home and at tend to his business just as well with as without a re-nomination, and fi nally accepted. Senator Bruce declares that the black man's liberty in the South is of little practical value. The va grant law, he says, throws him into prison on the slightest provo cation the apprentice law places colored minors at a great disadvan tage, and the contrat law puts the black employee wholly into the pow er of his white employer. "Consider what Lee and Jackson would do were they alive. These are the same principles for which they fought for four years.

DJEW^ULM REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1880. The little town of Salem, Mc Cook Co., Dakota, was visited by a terrible tornado on Monday night last week, and the greater part "*of the buildings it contained were de stroyed, but fortunately no lives were lost. R. O. Adams, the defaulting post master of Deadwood, is leading an Isbmaelite existence in the Black Hills, riding about the prairies, re mote from civilization and the po lice, with a complete arsenal strapp ed about hi? person. He swears he will slaughter a whole posse if it tries to arrest him, and hasn't en tered a house for fear of capture since he left Deadwood. The policy of the police seems to be to let him starve into feebleness before taking him in. Indianapolis News: We know that the Republican party believes in a free vote and a fair count. In not one State where the Republi cans are dominant is any one de nied his rights. We know that in States where the Democratic party is dominant rights are systematically denied, in some instances, to a majority of the citizens- The Dem ocratic party, as it stards to day, has substituted for its corner stone of slavery the comer stone of fraud. It rules a section of this country by a systematic suppression of the will of the people and with this for a basis is reaching out to take the whole country in its hand- Thomas Mitchell, of St. Paul, be came the victim of a brutal shooting scrape at Chaska during the middle part of last week. Mr. Mitchell had been transacting some business at Chaska, and on Wednesday night he went into a saloon where he and others took'in^considerable in the line of drinks." The victim and one of the party, the deputy sheriff of Carver Co., took in a good deal more liquor than they could carry, and about ten o'clock they got into a dispute which ended in a quarrel, during which the deputy sheriff wanted to arrest Mitchell. In the Struggle which took place the sheriff drew his revolver and shot Mitchell, the ball entering the chin and passing through the jaw and tongue. The jaw bone was torn away and several fragments of the teeth were extracted from his tongue The tongue and throat are also ter ribly lacerated. The State election of Arkansas was held on Monday and as a matter of course resulted in a glorious Dem ocratic victory. Congressman Wea ver, the Greenback candidate for President, predicted a majority for their candidates, but he was no doubt as badly left as he was in Al abama, as the canvass was carried on in much the same style. Here is the way the preliminaries of the business opened out. A short time ago the Republicans of Phillips coun ty, tvhich without bulldozing and a lair count is Republican by more than 2,000 majority, held a meeting for the purpose of re-organizing the party in the county, thinking that the fair promises of Gen. Hancock and other Democratic leaders would be respected by the bull-dozers of Helena and vicinity. In this they were mistaken, as the following no tice served upon them by the Hele na Yeoman, the organ of the imter rified Democracy of Phillips county, only too plainly shows: "The man who thinks he can lead an opposition against the organized Democracy of Phillips county is not only presumptuous but extremely bold. It will require a body guard equal to the whole number of voters in the Democratic ranks and a Gib raltar in his rear on the da)r tion." of elec- Washington Letter. W .D. Aug. 28th, 1880. I am glad to see a determination among Republicans all over the country to nave no one on the elec toral ticket in any State who is tech nically ineligible and against whose vote in the electoral college, can be challenged. General Clark, Chief Clerk of the Internal Revenue De partment, has a plan which he will lay before the National Republican committee in a few days. He pro poses to have the record of every Presidential elector inquired into, and to procure the proper form for making electoral returns in each State and procure a reliable agent in each precinct to beethat no blun der is made in technical form of the returns. He can not of course ac complish anything in the South, as it is announcd there, that no fair count will be allowed. But pre cautions will be taken, and the enormity of all election frauds in the South will be made known to the country. It is now reported that the letter of Gen. Hancock to General Sherman on the Electo ral count, which is before the pub lic, is not the letter referred to by the Democrats of Cincinnati, or by Gen. Baldy Smith, but that that letter is yet to see the light. It is very evident from the tone of the correspondence so far made public that something of a more serious nature remains. But the probabil ities are that the real letter will never be made public. General Sherman and Hancock are old friends in camp and on thefield,and neither under any circumstances do the other an injury. The pub lication of these important letters is simply to "blind the public" so to speak. The stories that brought to Gen. Hancock the Democratic nom ination, would operate to defeat him before the loyal people of the coun try. Shortly after the opening of Com gress in December, the General Award bill will be passed upon. This matter has been pending for some years, and from the indications of the last session, it is plain to see that Congressmen are Growing tired of the subject, and will end it at the first opportunity. It will be re membered that the General Award was paid to the United States by Great Britain in trust for those who suffered as indemnity for ships de stroyed by the *'Alabama" and her consorts, commonly called the "un- culpated musters." The depreda tions of these Confederate vessels, filled out, as they were by Great Britain, drove American commerce from the seas. One of these claim ants were paid under the act of 1874. But there yet remain large number of losers whose claims have not been paid. There is a bal ance of nearly $10,000 dollars to the credit of this fund now in the Treasury. There are claiming a share of it, those who lost by the payment of heavy war premiums to 'the Insurance companies, who if their claims are allowed, would ab sorb almost the whole amount. The sentiment in Congress is largely in favor of the war premium men, and they, in all prosbability, will receive a consideration before any others. HOWABD. Hardly a week passed after tho re nomination of Henry Poehler when the Democratic campaign of mud slinging and vilifying was inauguia ted. A short time ago a number of persons, among whom wasB. Hooper, of Belle Plaine, were conversing in a jocular manner with Major Strait on the depot platform in Shakopee, their remarks being naturally germane to the Congressional campaign. During the conversation Mr. Hooper asked Maj. Strait what he had done with that $3,000 he (Hooper) gave him for campaign expenses, to which the Maj. retorted in a pleasant way, and all had a hearty laugh. N more was thought of the matter until last wook when the St. Paul Volkszeitung announced with a great flourish of tiumpets that Mr. Hooper of Belle Plaine had given Major Strait $3,000 for securing him the contract for removing the snags in the Minnesota river, for which $10,000 had beenappiopiiated. Aside fiom seeming the appropriation Major Stiait had nothing to do with the matter, as the contract was let in St.Paul to the lowest bidder, and Mr. Hooper says that the statement as constructed by the Volkzeitung is pieposterous. He made the remaik as a joke and supposed everyone of those present understood it so. Tiu ly, the Democrats of the district must be in desperate straits to be compell ed to publish such silly falsehoods for campaign literatuie The Mankato Review says that Judge Dickinson recently made an important decision in regard to the authority of school officers, in a case appealed from Winnebago City. It seems that certain pupils disobeyed the regulations of the schools, for which they were suspended The parents demanded their reinstate ment unconditionally, claiming that the board had no authority to exclude them, and Hiat the rule was unreasonable and unlawful. The board refused to comply, when the matter was appealed to Judge Dick inson. In his decision the jndge holds that the statute confers upon the board the duty to superintend and manage in all respects tho schools of the district, and from time to time to adopt rules for their oigamzation and goyernment. The power so delegated to persons not having general legislative authority must be exercised in a reasonable manner, having in view the object sought to be attained. The object of the rule in question was to secure punctual and constant attendance on the part of the pupils, which is an important requisite to a well gov erned and efficient school. On this subject he adds: "In our commoner schools almost all study and instruction must be in classes and not individually, or as we may well express it the go-as you-please plan, and the efficiency and success of the whole class must, in a great measure, depend upon the equal advancement of each member of it, and I doubt not that it would be in the power of the board or education to make rules calculated to secure, as far as possi ble, the daily attendance of the reg istered pupils of the school. Of course unavoidable hindrances from attendance must sometimes occur, and should be recognized in any rule adopted for the purpose of se curing the above result, and this is done in the rule in question." "When a father places his child under the pupilage of our common schools, the child must submit to be governed by such rules as are rea sonably expedient for the manage ment and success of the schools, and no parent, by the exercise of his mere individual will, ought to as sume to detract from the benefits which the school is calculated to effect as a whole, or to impair its efficiency. If without necessity one parent may keep his child from school, another may do the same with equal right, and so it may be that three-fourths of a class are re tarded in their progress from term to term, and from year to year, by the non-attendance and consequent ly impaired progress of the remain ing fourth." The judge very properly declines to hold the rule unreasonable, and the action cf the school authorities is sustained. Building of fast Locomotives. An engine built to make the ninety miles between New York city and Philadelphia in ninety minutes did its work easily, and has been sent across the water a specimen of American handiwork But the New York Times observ es that it is not so great a novelty as several other engines now build ing in American workshops. Thus, at the Grant works they are on strutting an engine with two ses of driving wheels, one vertically over the other, the upper set being in tended to act on the lower as they act upon the traek. In Concord, N- H., a locomotive with a flat boil er, two feet by seven by twelve, with the firebox in the middle, is now nearly completed. The idea is to bring a larger portion of the boiler over the firebox and thus in crease the steam. The little tank engines of the elevated railroads have given such satisfactory per formances that plans have been pre- ..wash-*??*%!. as pared for building others of the same type with four, six, eight and even twelve driving wheels, calcu. lated for the heaviest work. The advantage claimed for them is that, in proportion to their weight they show large adhesive powers. In general there \A a noticeable tenden cy to increase the size not only of engines but of cars as well. London Letter. (Regular Correspondence fZ i! Londou, Aug. loth, 1880. Fine weather, with loss rain has enabled our farmers of the Home and Southern counties to make a fair beginning of the harvest. The wheat crop this year is certainly a great improvement upon 1879, bat the yield is likely to be one of the most uneven character. The mar kets of the past week have been the subject of a slightly retrograde movement, but trade remains so susceptible to weather that the on ly statement that can be made with fair assurance of accuracy is that buyers will have the best o*f a mar ket reached along a dusty road, and sellers the best of business on rainy day.
