In tsylng that the South mny so con­ duct Itself as to force the Republican party to re-nom!nate Gen. Grant for the Presidency. We express what we know to be the opinion of many prom­ inent men. In the sending back to the Senate of Chandler and Logan and Carpenter, they see the expression of a sentiment among the people of the North that they have had enough of weak and sentimental politics and that they will be satfsfled only by such a direction of uovemmeutai affairs as must come from practical men of force. Respectability and good Intentions are not in themselves elements which will make their possessor* turuerafnl in pol­ itics or busineM Practicability nnd inherent strength must be present, and with these qualities the Administra­ tion since the retirement of Grant, has not been lavishly supplied. Hence the reaction which at the last election carried back the stalwarts" In an over­ whelming triumph. And It Is a gen­ uine satisfaction to see these men,lead­ ers of their party In their respective States, returned by ths votes of the very men who a short time since cried lustily for'^eform^and have aheady got enough of it, Graut ls by no means an Ideal candi­ date. He has not those elements which people refer to when they say they want to see a broad mid enlight­ ened statesman in the Presidential chair--that is he is not a Webster nor a Clay. But he Is a mau of safety.-- Wlieu he vetoed a measure. Congress realized that It was a veto, and the people saw that it was what It purpor­ ted to be. To state it briefly. Grant was President, and there was no power behind the throne or In front of it that diclated to liiin; lie, and not his Cabi­ net and not the Senate, was supreme. For this reason the country had confi­ dence in him. If Congress was swayed andPcoutrolled by the wild passions and prejudices of a section of the couiAry, or if it followed in eager chase some popular phantom, Grants silent and powerful, was President.-- lie was not a politician, he was not a statesman, but the country knew he was President and relied upon him with confidence. Had he been Presi­ dent aud vetoed the silver bill as Hayes did, does any one suppose that Con­ gress would have snapped its Hugers at him and carried it over his head as though lie did not stand In the way? But Grant made grievous mistakes ftnd uiayuot hav the popularity he once had. Ills sanction of the salary- grab aud back-pa)' hill was an act that few public men could survive.-- Iliare-nomination, if lie should be re­ nominated, must we think, be founded ou the belief that lie I* the one man who of all the citizen* of the republic can be placed with entire safety $tt the Presidential chair.

PRICE 35 CENTS A BOX. * -r", , fV 4 , " . ii: Ik* Sad Story of Msxc. *Th« »ad statement is that John Godfrey Saxe has succumbed to melancholia, and that he is an affect­ ing example of mental suffering. As a poet and lecturer Mr. Saxe has given so much pleasure to so many that the fact of his Intellectual disorder will excite much sympathy and regret.-- Mr. Saxe first appeared as a poet )u the old Knickerbocker Magazine, in 1843. His first deep mark was made. In a poem called "Progress," a satire, and and since then he has become well known as a humorous poet, sketch wri- rer and lecturer. Born iu Franklin county, Vt., in 1816, Mr. Saxe was ad­ mitted to the bar iu 1843. in his 27tli year. Not long after he removed to Burlington, Vt., and became editor and owner of the S&itinel* which he man­ aged with success aud popularity. He Was the formal and fun-lovlug candi­ date of a hopeless minority for Gover­ nor for several years in succession.-- About fifteen years ago Mr. Saxe re­ moved to this State, practicing law iu New York and residing In First place, Brooklyn. Reverses have overtaken the gentleman of late years, and pain­ ful illnesses have befallen him aud members of his faintly. He denies himself to his dearest friends. His gloom is absolute and beyond relief.-- Among lecturers Mr. Saxe will hold a not high rank, but there is no doubt he Is a poet of a distinct though uot a high Order of ability, and that he has done knuch, of transient value in Itself, to make lighter the contemplation by readers of their hardships, or to en­ able them to bear or forget them,-- Mr. Saxe as the lover of the good things of life "ha* not excluded from liifi affections the good thing# of the table, including its wit and humor,and he was much in request in former years as an after-dinner speaker. The tax which good livers pay on their constitution has been paid by Mr. Saxe, but it was hoped that his health would come back under a system to which he subjected himself. That hope appears to be fallacious, and the broken down condition of Mr. Saxe will excit* not a llttls sympathy.-- Albany Argw, # i / KLKCTION OP JTUDGK& " The interest attending the election o« three Circuit Judges In this district next June Is aron*ed into activity by the numerous terms ot court recently held at which lawyers and litigants gather to discuss the situation, and the prospects of their favorite candi­ dates. There are six candidates so far as heard from for the three vacancies. These are Mr. Charles Kellum. of De- Kaib Co., Hon I. G, Wilson, of Kane Co., Hon. Clark Upton, of Lake Co*, Hon. Wm. Cody, of Dupage Co., and In MeHenry Co.. Judge Murphy nod A. B. Coon. A preliminary question arises | about how thesa candidates shall come before the people. Shall we have a republican convention to nominate themt Candidates of democratic pro­ clivities like Judge Cody and perhaps others who find their best support among the democrats see objections to this course. It is noticed however that democratic candidates In democratic districts see no such objection and there democratic judges are elected every time. We can afford to be more magnanimous. If we have a better qualified democrat than any republi­ can forjudge. It maybe well to select him but there are few who will claim It here. We shall undoubtedly have a Republican convention called to noml- Inate candidates, and there Is very lit­ tle doubt that the nominees of that convention will be elected. There Is a candidate In nearly every County. DeKalb County, with a happy unani­ mity we hope, will present the name of Hon. Chas. Kellum. of Sycamore, who> Is conceded to he undoubtedly one of the most eminent and popular law­ yers of this district, a man of bro^d mind matured by thirty years of stus ceesfnl practice, a genial courteous gentleman and admirably adapted for that honorable position. If DeKnlb Co. is politically wise she will Instruct her delegates for no other than her own candidate, i'o tie tliem op with Instructions for two or three would set all others against her and probably prevent her success In Influencing the nomination of any. That DeKalb Co. has never been favored with a nomi­ nee for Circuit Judge or hardly any other high position is well understood throughout the District, and with or­ dinary prudence and unity of action she may And her claims warmly sec­ onded at this election. Opinions will vary of course as to the other two can­ didates. Kane will present Judge I. G. Wilson, of Geneva, as her candidate and the ticket which Ignores that large and central county with Its large amount of litigation will hardly be a strong ticket. There are a great many here who will be satisfied with no ticket that h»s not on It the name of the genial, courteous and scholarly Clark Upton, of Lake. Judge Murphy has many frietuls and if pi'<feented by MeHenry Co. as he is confident that he will be, will Hud strong backing here, and so would A. B. Coon. Indeed there are so many good candidates that there is danger lest voters refuse to turn out at the caucus and conventions on the plea that it will be all right anyway, and as a result the election be left to luck and chance, to depend on the dosen or two that gather in tiie cities and liiy* villages.--(Sycamore Jiepublioan. Th* Nstnral Kaler of Indlsqa Dr. McGilllcuddy, the new Indian Agent at Bed Cloud, says he has learned In his experience with ths red men that a physician can have more In­ fluence with them tiiau anybody else, not excepting Catholic priects. When they have once been placed under a physicians care and have received tan­ gible beiVellt from It they have great respect for him. He succeeded, while with the Red Cloud Indians, In* so far gaining their confidence and overcom­ ing their superstition as to attend their women In several cases of conflue- meut, which they will not alloy even their medicine men to do. TI14, salu­ tary eflects of proper medical tr^Wt- ment In these cases did much to give me their friendship. Be opened a hospital for the sick. At first he could only obtain throe inmates, the Indians having a strong prejudice against it.-- The number increased, however to up­ ward of 200 per month, treated inside and outside. He proposes to pursue the name eouite, and give them the benefit of a medical practice which was largelv obtained in hospitable work. He believes he can soon have a successful hospital in operation, With nurses from their own number. ffry careful Bridgepor$ man always carries a bottle of whisky In his pocket as an antidote to rattle­ snake bites. He Is now 63 years old, and has never once died of a rattle­ snake bite, and he attributes his es­ cape to the antidote. PROTECTING THK FISH. , State Senator, Fuller, of thin State, has Innroduokd a hill to encourage the Cultivation and protection of fishes wlthluthe State of Illinois, which has passed to a second reading. Section 1 says:**That It shall be un­ lawful for any person or persons t» catch or kill any fish, except mlnndWB. in or upon any of the rivers, creeks, streams, ponds, lakes, sloughs, bsyous, or other watercourses running tliroofh or wholly within the State of Illinois, with any seine, net, weir.or oth"?r de­ vice, other than with hook and line, from the first day of March to the first I day of June la each and every year." Section S says, neither by ths use of lime, acid, or any medical or chemical compound or explosive* Sections 3,4, and 6 set forth that the manner of prosecuting violations of the law before any Justice of the Peace, penalty not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars and costs, for first offence; and for a second or sub­ sequent offence, such line may be in­ creased to any amount uot exceeding oae hundred dollars and costs. Section 6. Any perse 11 or persons trespassing upon the enclosed lands of another, without the consent of the owner, for the purpose of fishing, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and fined in a sum not more than ten dollars and costs of such procceediug: Provided. All Ish grown In artificial ponds are hereby declared to be per­ sonal property, and any person taking fl»h from any sueli ponds, without authority of ths owner, shall be guilty of larceny. Sections 7 and 8 says one-half of fines go to school-fund of county, ths other half to complainant; and In ease such41 fines aud costs are not paid, the con­ victed party or parties shall be con­ fined in the county jail for the period of 24 hours for each five do Bite and cost«. There !s nothing l'ke jfesterfng the industries of the country.. Every new product is a new source of wealth and means bread to those who other­ wise might want. This Is so entirely a utilitarian age that the great wonder is, not that so many things now serve the wants or mankind, but that there is anything ou the earth or In the sea that la uot utilized. But the grass­ hopper "is a burden" without any com­ pensatory beuefit, and tramps and member* of Congress have never yet yielded any valuable returns to the In­ genious devices of their fellow men.-- The wolf and the rat have beeom* scources of great profit to the citizens of two of our Western States. Wiscon­ sin pay* a bounty of §10 for each scalp of the first named animal,and it has astonished, the law-makers who pro­ vided the bounty, as well as the tax­ payers who have to foot the . bills, to find what a productive crop the wolf crop Is. Lupine culture In the snbur- bsn counties of the Badger State has increased wonderfully wtthln the past half dozen years. It Is more profitable than wheat growing, and a good dsn of wolves is found a better investmsut than a cranberry patch. Missouri has within ths past two years entered up­ on the propagation and discemlnatlon of the cemmon rat. She pays 5 cents per capita for each dead rat, and st," ceptsthe animill's scalp as evidence of its death. Rat scalps have, therefore, entered Into the currency of the rural districts. They are legal tenders, like nickels. It Is found that an acre of rat holes will net the husb«ndman from •200 to $300 per annum, and yet rat cul­ ture is as it were In Its infancy. The bounty has ouly been paid for two years past. In Audrtau county the first year's crop only netted #160.-- The past year the happy Grangers were enriched nearly #4,000. At this ratio of increase every raticulturist of Missouri will become a bloated bond holder in ten years, and the State finalises will be the wonder of the world. 1 >jjj The oelebratad Prairie City Seeder, the best In the Market at Reduced prices at £.

If the frightened newspa­ pers will spend au equal amount of breath in telling the old soldiers how they can get their pensions, warning them against selling their claims and affording them all possible Informa­ tion, we do not believe the claim agents will get more than Is due them. Or, what would be better still, If tlie State legislature would pass a law authorizing and directing some county officer, the County Clerk, for instance, to procure and make out the necessary papert for pensioners, it would he a proper thing and would preclude the possibility of swindling. There are honest claim agents, who can he fully trusted to charge ouly the price for their services allowed by the Govern­ ment, and there is no excuse for any old soldier at this time being deceived by a sharper. At the same time It would be an excellent idea for some lo­ cal county officer to he empowered to do this very simple act. ... . differed principally en three sttt$gftfi» vis: the classification of mall matter, the ̂ Senate provision of #400,000 fat "fast mail service," and the Brasilia* mall service.

Nevertheless I believe the al»'; most universal sentiment here Is oo%'. of approval. Not a few members of ' Congress other than those from the Pa^ ciflc coast, whe voted for the bill, ar^t suspected of a feeling of secret gratlfi| cation that a veto has been Interpoee^i to save us from what they see upon map" ture reflection would havo been pa| down to our discredit among the tionsofthe wotld.

While th| general feeling seems to be that loaf 1 restriction should be laid on China t4^ prevent her from emptying her paupe|^ population on our shores. It Is felt thai- It should be done above board and » in violation of our word. Besides, I was felt that Congress had gone out Its provluoe and had encroached that of the treaty--making power! passing the bill just vetoed. Many wide awake men who are cerely opposed to the principle of suo* sidy, had made an exception in fav«r of the gratuity recommended by th|i Senate Post Office Committee for thf transportation of the mail to and Awtp Brazil, because they believed it woul4 be re turned to us many fold In a few years by the extension of the marks# for American products In South Am«|| iea that would result from the permasv aent establishment of the steamship!
