From the Ikaton Commerrial Uul l e l ln .

Ho wanted to speculate, heard of ev-ery-body niitklng raoney in stocki, tlm newspaper! were full of it, the stock sale reports liegan to stretch from one-third of a column in length to two coi-umiiB in the iiewspai»ers. The money articles were continually reporting how every species of stock was advancing, and chrouiding u guneral activity in the market.

Young men, meetyros, with arms-akimbo and hats knowingly cocked up-on one side invited him to lunch or dine, and spoke of making live hun-dred or a thousand "on the street" in this or that "fancy." Even older heads, which were white with the ex-perience of many winters, spoke with each other in his hearing of "the rise in Erie," of the "start in Atchison," of netting "live thousand in Calumet," .Vc, From day to day. hot its was the slim-mer of 1871', hotter became the "COJI-pers" and other fancies.

Hosts of forgotten companies were paraded in the stock list, some that operators of a dozen years ago consld-e n d d e a d and buried past resuscita-tion, began to appear among the quo-tations, rising like a fresh crop of as paragtis af ter a recent cut t ing; new names tha t Kastern operators were unfamiliar with except such as had been in the California mining district, or had read I tret Ilarte's stories, became plentiful. Street brokers that had for a long lime been swapping Jack-knives suddenly became important and busy and made so much money amid the rush of outsiders that half a dozen of the smaller fry astonished tlieir land-lords by paying their otHce rent. Nin-kum was determined to look into this matter himself, so one day he got a friend to take him down among the stock brokers that dealt in "Spangle," 'Red Dog," "l. ulge,' 'Swellingtoii Farm," "llig Bullion," and all those stocks which he had seen quoted in the news-pa|iers and heard his f r iends talk so kuowingly about Every thing wits "booming"—1W of this and a 1,000 of that—"Go j e r 200 seller thirty.""take"-em,'—"sold."— "What 's bid for any part of a 1,000 Hard-Yeller Guldh"— "one dollar margin"—"buyer s i x t y " -"my option a t thirty days," 11 a, ha. ha, I'll lake 100 more." Tbese were a few of the expressions that came out of the almost undistinguishable mass of bowlings and shoutings that he listened to coming from a crowd of ap-parently halfraulic men that seem-ed to have recently .escapid from a lunatic asylum.

What wonder that he had a touch of the speculative fever—was introduced to a lively broker who would "do his business for him." "Yes, Mr. Sharpit was jus t the man, sjioke quickly, had a gloosy silk hat on awry and a hand that was grasped full of powers of atlor ney, memoranda and other pajiers.a lead pencil behiud hlu ear and a jerky style of interrupting you as thougli he ful ly under-stood by your eye all you were going to say, and diden't want you to take the trouble to repeat It. He shook hands with Ninkum, glad lo see him—"going to be big bi/.— money easy—things only half value now"—"going In for a riyer, ehV" and Ninkum, who was half confused b\ the telegraphic style of talk, tliought he'd "go ill."

T l ^ t o p c h i n g e , " said Sharpit , "every-Uiing 'booming' now then what do you think (Tf SpanglesV"

"Ah!" said Ninkum, "they are small affairs."

"Yes, but sure to go up shall we say n hundred Spangles i*"

"A hundred ain't mauy spangles," said Nlnk, sumewhat bewildend and thinkiuu of metal instead ol stock.

" A M see, go yer 600 then. Now what d'yer say to a hundred Red

"SunSred red- dogsl" said Nlnk ; "thunder, I'd rather sell a hundred dogs than buf one."

"All right, old boy," oald the brisk broker, making a memurandiim; "now then, any tiling in the 'Slap Vpf1 ' "

"Slap UpV" said N. what a puzzle look, and wondering what the broker was talking about, and trying to look as if this was a species of bhuu tha i he understood.

"Yes! new mine—forty foot level jus t open—copper vein six foot thick; news from the mine every day; better say a thousand Slap Ups; cheap thing al a dollar."

"1 should say so, too. with copper six feet thick."

"Yea, all right—now then, shall I buy you some shares In the HulgeV"

"Yes! oh, yes." said Ninkum. "that 's what 1 came down for, to buy some-thing on the bulge; that 's what an old ( 'al iforula fi lend told me—'wheu there's a bulge,' says h e , ' go lu for yer thousand dollars."'

"Very well," said Sharpit , "I'll man-age that . Now, don't want to soil somethingV say Aliriglit, for in-stance."

"Sell," said Nlnk, looking puzzled, "why if 1 had anything to sell, 1 should, of course, sell all right,"

"No matter whether you've got it or not, my boy. you're good for a thousand Allriuhts, I s pose." "(if course I am, sir," suld N.. straightening up ; "my Alii ights you can depend on." "Very well, my Iniy, I've got your order; I'll tlx things," and he dashed off ere Nink-um could stop him to say a word more or ask what stocks he ought to buy.

Ninkum turned to his friend who had introduced him to Sharpit, but he was gone, IIf asked of a bystander whom he hail seen in conversation with him, and was informed tha t he had gone into ttic board, whither ilj appear-ed numerous brisk and anxious-looking individuals, with long books under their arms, were tending,

Clad to see you doing something In stocks, Mr. Ninkum," said the party addressed, whom ho then recognized its a business friend of old times that he had for some time lost sight of, and who appeared to be going to the board himself.

"Doing something?" said Ninkum, "why 1 am not doing anything, y e t -only getting posted up,"

"No matter," said the broker, know-ingly, "Sharpit is a good fellow, keeps his customers' business lo h i m s e l f -you needn't be afraid 1 shall mention your doings, Mr. Ninkum."

N. bowed stiffly, and walked off won-dering what the man meant.

The next momiug ho found out to his astonishment what ho had been doing in his brief dialogue, which he supjiosed to have been harmless "chaff," by the following statement.

dollars,you know, and that lot of slock I never had—eh V"

"Get you out, I reckon 1 did; why nee here," and taking his pencil and a fragment of i aper from his pocket he wrote the memoranda and handed it over to the astonished Ninkum:

Ninkum's hair fairly stood on end. " T h i c k , and 'powers'—why, what in

the naino of all that 's extravagant does this mean?" '

J u s t then Charley Fliers came in, I s ty, Ninkum, lend us live hundred

for a couple o'days, will yer'( Saw you down street yesterday giving Hob Sharpl l an order hope you made a hit."

IJother Hob Sharpit, I gave him no ^ d e r a t all,"

"Come, old fellow, that won't do," said l-'liers; "why, I slood right beside you and heard you say you wits going in on the Hnlge, and that you would sell Allright,"

Why, yes."said Ninkum; "1 always mean to sell all right, and to b':y when anything is on the bulge."

"Ha, ha. ha!" laughed his fr iend; "are you really so jolly vr-en as not to know that Allright and liulge are two of the biggest mines in the market."

"What ! Hulge—Allright ? then these infernal bills are—"

"That," said Charley, taking the paper out of his hand—"that! why, that's one if Sharpil 's s tatements; 1 ought lo

know it, I've seen enough of 'em," Whew'ew, said he, its he glanced

at i t ; "he's let you in on Spangle, Slap Up and Hulge nil at once; why, bless you, those have all gone down a dollar since the llrst board yesterday. Why, Nink, you aro out seventeen hundred and ilftv dollars already,"

What / 'gasped Niakum—"seventeen hnnd ' d and llfty lost in one day V"

Ceaain ly ,my boy; you went in a t the very top of the market—claiming at high water, you know—market broke at second board, shares dropping every minute this morning."

(•real heavens! what shall I do," said Ninkum, whose available capital in the ready was not over live hun-dred. "and here's his other bill," and he handed it to his voluable friend.

"What! Hy George! you have sold the very thing, old boy; couldn't have done belter—now you'll lend me the live hundred,"

"Lend you Ave hundred dollars! why, I shall not have live hundred cents to lend," gasped Ninkum.

"Hut the prolll on this," said Filers. "I 'rollt! what do you mean - ' " "Mean! why, you've made a clean

thousand or more—that's what 1 mean."

"I don't see how." "Don't see! Why, here, 1'llllx it for

you; here, sign this blank power, make me your broker; I'll lix this ; borrow live hundred and bring you the balance of the money."

"Me the balance? What money? Only get me out of this scrajie. that 's all. and I'll reward you."

"Will you? Well, sign these two powers of attorney, then, and trust to

e." Scarce knowing what he did or why,

Ninkum signed Ids name, and his act-ive friend was off like a shot.

A s t h e d a y wore on Ninkum fell anxious—to be sure he hadn't seen anything of Sharpit coming after the ^l,'.'18.75, nor had he heard from Fli-ers, although it was now half-past o'clock, and that worthy had left him live hours previous; so conquering his dread of meeting Sharpil, he saunter-ed down toward the Stock Kxchange and the scene of day before yesterday's encounter. The place was almost de-ser ted; four or five Jaded-looking man were slandlng round, and one who was smoking remarked to another who was tearing up paper and scatter-ing the bits about, thai "there would be a reaction to-morrow after such a tremenduous slump," and the pajier-sci t terer hoped "those infernal scamps who locked up funds In New York might gel stuck themselves."

Ninkum met two men with long books going into the slue entrance to an up-stairs olllce who itopped to say to each other ihat things were "off likei. jug-handle" and "it had been a big drop," Crossing the street he met a broker whom he hail frequently seen w ith Fliers, and ventured to ask if he had seen that worthy,

"Seen him! yes; just lef t me; gone up to the I 'arker House to dine. Charley made a big hit to-day sellin' short, 1 believe, anil he feels pretty well over I t "

Ninkum passed on, and as he reached Parker 's went in. There sat Fliers at one of the tables, a plate of venison and a bottle of champHgn" l - f o r e him, evidently enjoying himself a f t e r the fatigues of the day,

"Ah, Ninkum!" said he espying that worthy, and extending both hands in welcome, "is that you, sit down old fel low; lake some champagne; I was coming round af ter dinner to see you.'

"Did you." gasped Nink, in a fa int voice, "did you manage to get me out

< of that scrape, thu forty-two hundred

D n e y o u l e u my n o m m t u l o n |3,'i8S "There, my boy, what do you think

of tha t?" "Due me," his eye-i sticking out like

lobsters -"due me; what do you mean ?"

"Mean! why 1 mean I went to the party whom your broker sold the 1,000 Red Dou to; the market was bat ted and he knew i t ; down two and a quar-ter and he was glad to pay a difference of two Instead of taking the stock: ditto the party who bought Allrights at nine, which Is now down to four, he w as glad to settle a t three ami a half difference. Those two little transac-tions, you see, gave us 81,282 profit, a f ter payingSharpit, if we hadn't any-thing else, but we still had the stock lie bought for you. such as it was."

"Hut I tell you," persisted N inkum "I never told him to buy for me. 1 only had a d i a l about red dogs and my being all right and somothing else, I don't recollect what."

•'Well, he thought you did, and it's all well for us both that he did, for I sold out theSpangles, the Slap I ps and Hie Hulge for just what they would b r i n g - a loss to bo sure, but lidded lo our prollta on differences, and we've got over three thousand dollars on hand. Now, how much shall 1 allow you fur brokerage?"

''Charge me jus t what you please, my boy, said Ninkum, grasping his hand and upsetting a glass of chnm-pagne upon the lloor. "Why, 1 ought to pay you for getting me out of such an infernal scrape. U'i; all Greek to me even now, and I cannot under-stAnd it. Do just as you like."

"Well, would you be satisfied if 1 brought you two thousand dollars as your share to-morrow?"

"Two thousand dollars! why, Char-lie, it's downright robbery lo take i t -you iniisl be joking."

"Well, il does seem like robbery, from a commission point of view, but will you give me a receipt in full for that amount?"

"Certainly I will." "Well, then excuse me now, for here's

old Cutemklose coming to settle with me, and I'll see you to-morrow,"

Ninkum went off wondering wheth-er he was dreaming or whether Fliers was playing a practical joke upon him, II was his first experience in fancy stocks and he was bewildered; how-ever, about noon the next day Fliers came in, and, tossing a bundle of bank-notes on his desk, told him to count them.

Mechanically Ninkum began, "one hundred,two hundred, three hundred, four hundred" (they were all one-hun-dred dollar notes), growing more agi-tated as he proceeded, till he counted up two thousand, and then paused and looked up, with his hands trembling and b t a r t beating quickly, and mouth wide open, a t his friend who was watching him.

"Are you satisfied?" said Fliers. "Satisfied! Why, you can't bo in ear-

nest that this is all for me; that what I accidently said to Sharpit has brought me in all this money—here, take half of It."

No," said Fliers, laughing; "I 've taken the linn's share already. If you are satislied.sign this receipt in full."

Ninkum had his name written in a second.

"Now," said he, "tell me how I came to make such a hit."

Why," said Filers, "fools rush in where angels fear to tread. No sane man would have tliought either of buying or selling its you did, and It's just such men as you make these "hiI j" this season, and almost in the same manner. You made It on a for tunate bieak in the market that you did not know enough of to anticipate; in fact, my boy. It's the Nlnkums that have very generally made in the fancies, not the experienced operators. Hut lake my advice, don't try it a second lime,"

A H e a r S t o r y .

Af ter all, gentlemen, said old Col. Neblelt, the best way to kill a liear is to shoot him, provided a man has a good rille, and knows how to use il. Hears were plenty when I settled on l-ittle River, and wa used to make up parties to hunt them. A liear hunt was matie up for the second week in the Novemlier after I moved on to my land, and 1 was asktd to join il. 1 wasn't much acquainted in the neigh-borhood, and the |ieople didn't know my ways; so 1 thought I might run a joke on them, and make them supply me with bear meat to lay in for the win-ter. It is one thing, you know, lo kill a liear, and antither thing lo gel iiim home. Some ten days before the hunt was to come off I went out and baited the bears, and then went out and watched for them. Hy good luck I struck three of tnem that da v. but didn't kill them not a bear. I don't suiipote, gentle-men, that there was a man In Ken-lucky who could outshoot me in those days. I marked each of them exactly alike by shooting off the tip of the right ear and pulling a bullet through the left ear. That was all I wanted ol the brare just then. When the day for the hunt came along, and the party called al my place lo pick me up, I told them that I wits under the weath-er and didn' t allow that I fel l well enough to go. '1 wish 1 coul'1 go,' 1 said, 'because I've got some tame bears lodse In the woods and would like lo look them up.' 'I hey stared al me as if they allowed that 1 w as crazy, i ' e r -haps you don't believe me,' '1 said, 'but what I tell you is a fact. There are five of those bears that 1 raised and petted, and they are marked with my hog mark, 1 have been meaning to gel them home la-fore winter and lay in the meal of three or four of them.' A t this they laughed in my face, 'There's no ioke about it. gentlemen.' said I. •my mark Is a crop of the right ear and a hole in the left . If you happen to shoot any bears with that mark on them you may know tha t they belong to me.' They promised that if they got any bears marked in that way they would bilng them home to me, and went off laughing. Now, gentlemen il is the t ruth, If I ever told the t ruth in my life, that that parly got just four

bears on that hunt, and three of them were marked with my mark. They brought those three bears home to me, and I had plenty of hear meat for the winter, and af ter that nobody in the settlement ever Ihoiight of disputing my wonl about anything."

(Jt'KEit SritiiKKT.—The doctors of Hellevue Hospital al New York are transforming Thomas Coulter's linger end into a nose. Coulter is twenty-two years old, and lost his nose by lu-poid, a malady closely related lo can-cer, which destroys every tissue with which it conies in contact. The prog-ress of the disease was arrested at Hellevue Hospital two years ago, but il left the face woefully disligured, with a depression where the nose should have been and the skin so con-tracted that the lower eyelids were inverted, ex|>osing the mucous mem brane of thu eye. Ap la s t i c operation was |>erformed al the hospital a year ago which nearly restored the eyes to their normal condition, and having heard that an English surgeon at Hir-mingham had built up a nose for a man. Coulter besought the Hellevue doctors lo try the same experiment on him. His entreaties prevailed, and last November preparations Ivgan by freezing the middle linger of the left hand, removing its nail and destroying its mitrix with uilric acid so that nail would grow again. Two Maps were raised Irom the surface of this uailiess linger end, December 12, tin patient lieing under the inlluence of an aiiesthetie, and were attached to llaps ralsid from the face, the end of tin linger being placed in a |Micket made in the skin where the nose had been. The whole was then kept in place by plaster of pads '• mdages, the patient iieiug also kept under the inlluence uf Morphine. The extemporised nose is alieady knilting Into place, and the digital arteries having been tint up, the linger is to be amputated at the middle joint, and the wonderful new nose will be complete.

Augusta, Me., Jan , 21. -A monster I meeting was held at Granite Hall this evening. The hall was crowded, Kx-Govemor Anson !'. Morrill presided, and congratulated the people on al last having a Govemment. Senator Hlaine then took the platform, and was received with great enthusiasm. He said:

MI! .CLIAIILMAN A N D I 'E I . I .OW-CLTI-ZKNS: I thank you most sincerely and most deeply for thu manner in which you have received me, ami I congratu-late you that we once more meet its peaceful citizens of Maine, under the protection of a legal State Government chosen by the people, with the validity of its title patent to the world. We have had a long and trying contest with desperate men, who sought to disfran-chise voters by the thousand, and to subst i tute a false count for an honest ballot as the source of power to a State Government Hut for all our troubles and trials, and for all the wrongs we have so patiently endured, we are this day richly repaid, when we remember the instriimentalltles by which we have triumphed without liring a gun, with-out shedding a drop of blood, without str iking a single blow, without one disorderly assemblage. The people have regained their own right through the might and majesty ol their own laws. Fi lends al a distance wondered why we did not use force on the very first day of the session, a id .seat the Republican members of the Legisla-tu re who were duly elected. That might easily have been done, for Iti1-puMicans were present in the propor-tion of four to one; but when we had got through wllh il we .should only have proved that we were physically the stronger | arty. We should only have established the fact ihat our tribe could give the loudest war-whoop and could assemble the largest number of braves fot a given batt le; and after the battle was over we should have been remanded to the courts for a tri-al of our title. We preferred to go to the court, and have our title confirmed in advance.

We did so and returned. Mr. Forney came out with his dog. I'resently the dog pricked up its eats and commenced to sniff the air, s tarted off iu a direct line lo where the |iocket-book was. passed it a few feel, cauu back, reared upon the fence, got it, came to its master and laid it in hi hand. We look a number of hats to the lot; these he brought in, selecting his master's first,"

WHITS VKItSfS SIIOT-OVXS, It was our belief tUat as plaintiffs

we could not impiove our standing in court by committing a breach of the peace on the threshold of the Cham-ber of .I ustice. We remembered that we were a New England coiiimiiiiity, and we believed tha t of all the New Kngland States Maine has been the most exempt, from its origin to the year IcT'.i, from every foi.u of defiance of law. A law student in Yale Col-lege, w hen asked what he would do in cast; of trespass and an unlawful occu-pancy of his land. a'iswensi that in New Kngland he would proceed by wil l of ejectment, but in Texas he would take a double-barrelt d shot gun. We agreed with the law student, and stuck fast lo the w i i l of eject-ment. We went before an honest court , before a non-partisan court, be-fore a court that could not lie used to promote the party interests of any set of men, before a court us able and up-right ;us il was fearless, and as learned as any that sits w ithin the limits of the I 'nion or on the Federal or State benches, and with the Judgment of that court in our hands we quickly took possession of the State Gou'ru-ment ami firmly hold it to-day,

TIIK I'AHTV T o n s ASl NllKII, The masses of the people in all par-

ties want honest g u v e m m e n t and the a t tempt lo inllict dishonest govem-ment on the people of Maine by the Democratic leaders has torn asunder the Democratic party, as will liecome manifest when the next at tempt is made lo rally their shattered ranks a l the pulls. The bulllid leaders now Ibreaten an appeal to Congress though in what possible form I cannot conceive and they boast that they w'll so pre-sent their cause as to induce Congress to recognize them as the proper Gov eminent for counting and declaring the electoral vote of Maine next Au tumn. They even apeak with couil dence of the asserted sunpathy and support of a Democratic House and Democratic Senate. Sir. if 1 should say they would receive it, I should feel on my return lo Washlngtoii that I had c a s t a wanton instill upon a Democratic Congress,

The Democratic party has, 1 think shown a remarkable readiness to do the wrong thing, and its record for the past twenty-live years has been one of the political sins and blunders almost past comprehension. Hut when the Maine Democrats come to ask their brethren of the Nation to share and to carry the ugly load under which they are now groaning, 1 venture to think that they have overest imated the te-merity and folly of Democrats in oth er States. When they ask them to ap-piove the fiat and fraudulent counting out of tliirty-seven Itepublican mem hers of the Legislature, out of the 100 that were legally and indispiitably e-lectisl, 1 hazard the opinion Ihat the National Democralic |iarty will call a halt, and ask to be excused fiom that burden. 1'erhaps, however, Maine Democrats assume confidence from the fai t tha i during the prolonged strife over fraud, and even aftei its full exjiosure, and when it lay pros-trate under a decree from a Supreme Court, no leading Democrat of the Nation was heard lo utter one word ol remonstrance, while away off from In-dianapolis came a message of greet ing from Thomas A. Hendricks, ex pressing admiration fur tlie backl-'one which Governor Garcelon had dis-played in thecounling-oul conspiracy. The iHjlilical friends of Mr. Hendricks have never accused him of an extra supply of spinal strength,and I desire to say to him, from a pleasant acquain-tance of many years,thai I don't think he ever po.«sc»sed the backbone tu do actsfor whit- li die congratulates Gov ernor Garcelon

llONOKAUU: liXChl'TIONS, In saying that no leading Democrat

from abroad sent a word of help and hope to the fr iends of good government, or a word of rebuke to the authors of the fraud, let me make an honorable exception of several leading Democratic edilors of leading papers, who denouui-ed, with unsparing severity, the cause of the Maine Democracy, There words brought cheer and courage to those w ho were Ugliting for the right.

gratulate ourselves that every man has done his duty, and, animated by a single impulse, with no selfish ends to gain, the entire Republican party has stood together for the right. We con congratulate ourselves that Ae carried this controversy through with our own atrengUi.and with no tnough tof seek-ing aid from the National Govemment, or from any oilier power of any kind outside our own limits and our own people. In looking back over the nine long weeks of continuous labor, we can see nothing omitted, and nothlngcould have been dono bet ter ; and of the many things on which we may offer sjiecial felicitations nothing could b« more earnest or more heartfelt then the thanks we tender General Cham-berlain for the dignity, fidelity,efficien-cy and completeness with which, a t a most critical hour, he served the Slate and aided in preserving civil and social order.

IOLI.V OK TUK ( uNal'llUTOES,

The conspirators who are foiled in their bad designs are adding great folly lo their already terrible record. In leaving the State House they have taker away the Seal of the Slate, and they have also abstracted t he re-turns ot the election, which they had previously falsified. Perhaps in thia last act they are endeavering lo mur-iter the witness of their evil deeds for the past three months, but, whatever ll'eir motive may be—petty and Im-potent malice, or any at tempt to hide the evidence of their guilt—they may be assured that they cannot embarrass the Stale govemment, and will only add, if that be possible, to the guilty eoiidemnatlon under whleh they are now resting. In seizing the Great seal they seem desirous of emulating the in-famy of England's worst king; but they will find the act as harmless to the r ight ful Govemment aa William found the spiteful venom of James ; and shoultl some lucky fish-net again drag the Seal to light, it would only be use-ful as a lasting memorial of a Demo-cratic ami Greenback conspiracy and its impotent end,

NOT A LOCAI. ISSUK.

Mr. Chai rnmn, the Republicans of Maine and throughout the land felt that they were not merely fighting the batt le of a single year, but fur all the fu ture of the year ; not merely lighting the battle of our own State alone, but for all the States that are at tempting the great problem of State govemment throughout the world. The corrup-tion or destruction of the ballot is a crime against free government and when successful is a subversion of free government, i t is tills fact which has carried tlie interest in the struggle lar out and beyo: .d our own iKinlers, and it is this fact which ren-ders our peaceful and lawful vjclory if such priceless value. One year ago, in Thi- Nuith Amerkan Review, In dis-cussing a cognate question and before 1 iytd ever dreamed that a crime aguinst the ballot was possible In Maine, 1 used some words which I venture, in closing my remarks, lo quo leas appoelte t o t h e great subject we are now considering: "The mighty power of a Republic of 50,000,000 of people, with a continent for their pos-lession, can only be wielded permanent-ly by being wielded honestly, in a fair and generous struggle, by partisan power. Let us not forget those issues and those ends which are above party. Uigani/.<sl wrong will ullimately be met by organized resistance. Impartial suffrage is our theory; il must become our practice. Any party of American clti /ens can bear to be defeated, but no party of Americans will bear to be defrauded. The men who are interest-ed in a dishonest count are units, and the men who are interested in an hon-est count are millions. I wish to speak for the miliionBof all poll ileal parlies, and in their name to declare tha t the Republic must t>e strong enough, and shall be strong enough, tu protect the weakest of its citizens iu all their rights."

The Hon, C. G. Luce, State 011 In-spector, has prepared his official report for the six months ending December .11, from which It appears tha t he has nineteen deputies and that there is yet one district lor which there ia now no deputy, J , T. Elliott, who held the place, having resigned and his successor not having yet been appointed.

The total number of barrels Inspect-ed is 5li,1)48, of which 328 were rejected. The number of gallons Inspected was 2',u8O,iM0, of which UUW were rejected. The total auiouul ot lees collected was

and total amount of salaries and expenses, 87.048,40. To this add salary and ex|ieiises of the Inspector, and it gives a total disbursement of 88,034,7il, leaving an excess of 86.838,-f.7 ol rei -ipU over disbursements.

The report of the former State In-siiector, for the six months ending J u n e :io, shows an Inspection of SI.S8U barrels, making a total for 1870 of 91, 237 barrels.

So lar as the Inspector has been able to learn not a lile has been lost and not a iK isoii lias suffered bodily injury by I he use ol kerosene oil in the Stale lor the six nionths that the present law has been In force and an luvestigatiou made into Hie reports of such accid-ents which have appeared from t ime to time in the Slate press has shown them to be mistakes. There have been three lamp and one lantern explosion in the s ta te w ith iu six months and two of these were on account of defect-live w icks and burners,

in "Iwaking of the common com-plaint that the oil now used goes out before it is half consumed, gives a dim light, smokes, etc., the u^pec lor says that all the law provides for Is thai the uil shall pass the 120 degree test, and that Ibis provision has lieen rig-idly enforced. He says that the chief cause of complaint is the undue a-mounl ot paral l inein the oil, and that 11 the chill test provided for In the law of 1877 should be restored this would lie prevented.

In reference to the effect of tlie law upon the price of oils, the report says thai one year ago Michigan oil was twenty-three and one-half cents per gallon at w holesale in the principal markets of the Stale, Now water-white oil is twenty-one cents. Wl lh the general ad vane# In prices. It Is

ale to suppose that under the old law We til would have been th i r ty cents.

and we send them back cheer for their : shall use in the State this year not far courage, their manhood and the c«n- from &,000,000 of gallons. Even though sistency with which they upheld good all used th i s oil the saving to the peo-principles. IplH o( the Stale would be from 8400,00<i

The editor of the Joi'HN u alien.led t in uniiual ineetlng of thu s m i e IVesn Aaaurlallon at Ann Arbor Inst week. Tlie seaalnn niiened at noon on Tuesday, nd juurned for dinner at I p m. . rr-aa-•etnliled nl 2:15. m l j o u m r d nt 2:45. to

vl*li the I ' l i l ven l ty . re-asaeinbled Acain at 7:90 anil ad journed rim ilk nl 10:80 the venilif It was said to lie the Urgest gnther lng of MichlKan edilors ever convened In the State . Certainly I lien- was an ez ie l len l repn-sentatlon of the noble liaml, but for nil th is the m i l l -ing was not a slicces*. Il was giiotl w hal there was of It Mit there WUN not enough of il. If the objeet of Ihe meet-lug had lieen n visit to the various de-pa r tmen t s nf 1'ie U n i v e n i t y , or to test the generous hospltallly of Ihe first fnin-llles of Ann A r l w and of the U n i v e n i t y facul ty , then indeed would the meet ing have been a sucress. f u r certainly "he e i l i ton t he r e assembled wore tnvstcd very kindly and enti'rtaine<l most hos-pitably by the good |ieople of Ann Ar bor and t h e U n i v e n i t y . The tour th rough t h e U n i v e n i t y was well wor th the t r ip there, and hereofter . in t h e near fu tu re , we shall have •mne th ing to say about wha t our e j e s s a w . our e u n heard and ou r head thinks.

Tlie meet ing of the Association was not of sufficient dura t ion to be very profitable. The address of welcome by Hon. R. A. Bcal was excellent, the re-sponse there to by Hon. Geo. F. Lewm of Sag inaw, was well said and Ihe few re-

marka on the paper question (or tariff vs. f ree t rade) were spiri ted. At t h e evening *essioii Gill Osmunof t h e Even-ing New* read a very aensible. »harp anil well wr i t ten paper on "Wi ld Cat News-papers" and Silas F a n n e r of Detroit , read an interest ing history of the carly n e w s p a p e n of Detroit. The press gong then listened lo a profitable ten min-ute*' talk by W. S. George of the Lan-

sing Republican on the make up of a new*paper. Brief discussion* on the subject of libels followed and a commit -tee was appointed to ascertain what leg-islat ion i* needed to protect the innocent editor againat the wile* of the enemy. Tlie above con*tiluted pret ty much t h e en t i re programme. As we said before it was good, wha t there was of i t . but there wa* not lialf enough of il. The meet ing was ju*t nicely commenced when it ad journed . Had the A**ocia-tion remained over and held an all day session on Wednesday it would liave been a ancce**. There are many impor-tant question* that ought to have come

before t h e A u o c i a t i o n f o r d i s c u u i o n and there are a great many seemingly un im-por tan t question* that migh t have been di*cuKied wi th profit to most of t h e m e m b e n . W e lio|>e the next i n f l i n g will not a d j o u r n before the last member in lias t ime to take off his overcoat. It doesn't jiay to go 200 miles to spend four h o u n in organizing and get t ing ready for business and then a d j o u r n wi thout doing any business. The off icen elected for the ensuing yea r were—for presi-dent R. A. Beal of Ann Arbor : vice presidents. L. A. Duncan of thu Niles Republicnn. Geo. F. Lewis of the Hagin-awian . and M. D. Hamil ton of t h e Mon-roe Commercial : for secretary, E. S. Hoskins of the Bollevue Gazet tee: for t reasurer , E. T. Grabill of the Greenville Independent .

Much credit is due to Hon. It. A. Bcal fo r hi* kind personal a t tent ions and lib-

eral i ty in looking a f t e r the we l fa re of tne vir i t ing m e m b e n . The thanks of the Awociat ion were also due and tendered

t s o ther good citizen* of that city and to Prerident Angell and facul ty of the Uni-v e n i t y for bestowed blessings and fa-v o n . The supper at the U n i v e n i t y wa* excellent and the toast* and resjionses were happy. Take it al l in all it was a very en joyable meet ing—what wa* lack-ing in the p rogramme of the Awociation wa* made up by what had lieen prepared fo r the press gang outside.

The case of the townsh ip of F i fe Lake v*, Eno* P u t m a n and o t h e n , now pend-ing in the Circuit Court is one of con-siderable importance. The defendant* have beou cu t t ing lumber in a leased saw-mill a t F i fe Lake, and f requen t ly have several million feet of t imber and log* there, but no realty. On th is per-sonal property the township author i t ies a re a t t emp t ing to collect a t ax fo r 1878 and 1879, amount ing to about <900. The defendants say tha t they canno t bo taxed a t Fife Lake, on p e n o n a l proper-

ty there—that they pay tax on all their personal proper ty a t Grand Rapids, where the i r residences and office are. H i e *uit i* to settle the que*tion wheth-e r p e n o n a l property is properly taxable where it Is si tuated or where Ihe owner resides.

The Supreme Court has reversed Ihe decision of the K e n t Circuit in the case of L. P . Eddy vs. J o h n Manshaun. in-terpleaded wi th Myron Page. Tho act ion was brought in just ice cour t on a prom-issory note which became duu more Hum six y e a n before sui t was begun. The plaintiff declared on t h e nolo and tho de-fendant pleuled orally as follows: "De-f e n d a n t pleads l imitation of s ta tu te ; t h a t t h e cause of action did not accrue wi th in six y e a n preceding tlie com-mencement of sui t ." The j u s t i c e held this pleadinK iiiHufficient to admi t the evidence, and the Circuit Cour t on ap-peal held the same way . And now the Supreme ( 'our t say* both cour t* were in error . Tin pleading fully appriMsi Ihe plaintiff what the defendant ' s de-fense was . and that ia enough for jus-tice's court (15 Mich. 21)7: S m i t h vs.

Dudge. 37 Mich. W4.) Tho object ion t o the pleading iieemx to liuve been tha t the s ta tu te require* a general issue in all cases w i th notice of any i.|iecial defense, whi le in th is case Ihe special defense was pleaded alone; but this is mere mat-te r of form. When t h e de fendan t noti-fies the just ice orally wha t bis defense is, the just ice ought to put it on his docket in due fo rm, but if he fai ls to do 10 t h e de fendan t i* not t o lie deprived of hi* defense thereby. If the pleading was imperfect in substance it would be dif-ferent , but even t hen Ihe de fendan t ought to be allowed to amend , and the privilege wa* denied in this case.

The suffrage movement here grows a|ince, though it cannot a t ta in sufficient s t rength t o induce Congress to restore it. So uiiiled arc t h e taxpayer*general ly against it, and so imbued is Congress w i t h the same feeling, tha t only nt1

Ieg!*lator», with new ideas, can lie induc-ed to give us again the liallot. The feeling ia general tha t w e now havo Ihe best fo rm of Dlslrlcl Government had fo r m a n y years. Congress has full super vinory power, and the right of appeal to il fo r redress upon any grievance, real or fancied, is freely exercised by our citizens. But wheu appeal to the lial-lot, as against t h e power of our mob el-ement to exercise it* right, is urged in lieu of tlial to Congrc**, only our brok-en-down political hacks, and aspi rants fur office, who realize lha l only the mob can ever give them position*, or men like Mr. Durant . whose mind is ful l uf Fourierisms, 1 an lie found to mipport t h e theory. Universal sufTrnge is not popular hero, for our conservative peo-ple realize tha t the ulcer found iu every clly, through the denizens of its s lums and hells, it is an gangrenous and dan-gerous here as elsewhere, nnd they are perfectly willing to let well enough

Since the laughable lilt between 8un-*et Cox and Horr , of Michigan, the House has not lieen enlivened wi th
