ROBERT R, ROTIIGERBEQ, Nunda, I1L, Oct. 17th, 1875, THAT LtTHKOP FRAUD III RICHMOND. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The tidal wave has reached Richmond in the shape of wind, but not Brains, as yon have noticed, no doubt in the Wood­ stock Sentinel of Oct 12th, by the long list of names represented to be Mr. Lathrop'g supporters, but to my certain knowledge, two-thirds of the names on that list, was without authority, and many were Hurlbut men. But what won't some men stoop to do ? Look at the political trickster and his column fn the Sentinel of Oct 19th, and see the Hayes. Wheeler and Lathrop£lub with Wm. A. McConnell at its mast head as President. Dr. L. R. Ward, Vice Presi­ dent, and E, R. Young-, Secretary. Now did not James do well to get this club up all alone, for he is the only one that knows any thing- about it? And is it right for him to mislead Mr. Lathrop in that way? If he was Mr. Lathrop'* friend he would say less, as every move he has made has been for thfl interest ofS. A. Ilurlbut, for the People are disgusted with such supporters as Mr. Lathrop has, if it is a sample of them that he ha» in this county. We saw the editor of the Sentinel on our sreett last week Friday. We conclude as James had given out in wind he brought him on as a uew supply. He looked fat and happv when he came but went back Lean Lank and disappointed. Now don't it look simple, besides being .foolish, for A weak-kneed republican send out and have it published that there is a Hayes, Wheeler and Lathrop club, (with a long list of names added) when there has been none such organ­ ized. We have a genuine Hayes and Wheeler club without the Lathrop, which was organized some four weeks ago, and the proceedings were pub­ lished fn the Gazette. * PUZZLER J a^Tlie Batavia News, has the fol­ lowing: "As to Mr. Hurlbut, we have nothing personal against the gentleman. It has always been our opinion that one term of office for any man is enough. We thought that as Mr. Hurlbut had been to Congress several terms,he might stand aside for a new mail. That is die reason we supported Mr. Lathrop until the Elgin Convention, where by a glaring fraud Mr. Lathrop was nom­ inated for Congress* Since that time we have opposed Mr. Lathrop, and taking into ^u«ideratlott .ttU« way W^r, ffurtbutwas treated at that convention: aud since then, we have fully made up our mind to support that gentleman for Congress, and it is only through him that we have any hope of defeating the Democratic candidate. Every true Republican must'look the matter square in the face, and make up his mind to vote for Hurlbut, for by casting his vote for Lathrop, it is one vote for Farnsworth, and chose not voting at all will count for Farnsworth. The Dem­ ocrats are using their utmost efforts to secure the election of their man, and they will dt it if every Republican in the district does-not come out and cast his vote against fraud, and for that much abused and7 gallant gentleman, Stephen A. Hurlbut." aer-Hr. Lord's Convention cannot win in this district. Such a barefaced and rascally fraud has never yet, so far as we have uoticed, been defended by a solitary paper in the district. They know that when Kane County Conven­ tion met two-thirds of the delegates were elected to support Hurlbut, and that a desperate minority, with Lord at their head, run the convention as they liked, made out a list of delegates, declared them elected, and adjourned, right in the face of all the opposition the majority could bring to hear, and that such acts are susceptible of no defence. They know that these minor­ ity delegates were admitte'd at Elgin as regular, and that the consummation of the iniquity was the nomination of Mr. Lathrop through the votes of these twelve minority delegates. Can such acts be indorsed by the Republican voters of this" district? Mr. Lathrop thinks they will be, as he is in the field and intends to remain there, but we think he will find himself mistaken when the votes are counted Gen Hurlbut is in the field as a candidate for Con­ gress. He has a right too be there, and as the regular nominee, by virtue of receiving a majority vote of the delegates elected in the district. He has more ability and larger experience than Mr. Lathrop, and will make a bet­ ter representative. Thousands* in the district would sooner vote for a demo­ crat than indorse the frauds through which Mr. Lathrop secured Ihe nomi­ nation, and of which he stands the liv­ ing representative, abiding thevedict of the people,--Standard J^-The deepest Atlantic soundings ever made were made abont ninety miles north of the Island of St. Thomas, in 3.875 fathoms.

From the Belvid«r« standard Oct. T6th. J?* am informed that Mr. Lathrop. flitt-.General Hurlbut at the request of 1 j|Stat8 CentraI Committee, met that b*fty on Friday in Chicago, to lee if thing could be done to harmonize tllf diftorence existing in the District. Mr. Lathrop was with the Committee fcfesome considerable time before Gen. wN|| was sent for. Upon entering the General H. was asked if anything co»|le| be done to quiet the division. W® answered that the trouble in the District was caused solely by the dis- frifochiseiherit of the Kane Co. Dele- gat?s, and could only be cared by do- iiigjttstice to them. He was further asked if fie could sng- gw§ anything, or make any proposl- tl# Be said that he could, and that he w*tready to yield anything personal to himself. I^fenoral Hurlbut then proposed that theiKane county questionshould be sub­ mitted to the State Central Committee or W an^ Republican Congressional Confunittee (outside of this District) in the jState that Mr. Mr. Lathrop might select. M|K Lathrop said that he could not accept that proposition. General Hurl­ but then proposed that the Congression­ al Convention be called together,--the Risljlg Delegation from Kane Co. ad­ mitted --and that he would decline to be a^caudidate at all. Mr. Lathrop declined this. A mem- berllfthe Committee suggested that the *ane county question be referred back to the people of that County to decide by a new County Convention. General Hurlbut said he <*vas willing to accent that proposition, and abide by tl»e j|Dte of Kaue Co, Mr. Lathrop 8aldfhat some objections had been made to the fairness of the McHenry Convention, and General Hurlbut while denying that anything improper hap­ pened in McHenrv, still said that he was perfectly willing to permit both Kaiie^and McIIenry to vote over again, Mr. lathrop however, would not con- eeutJ/ other desultory conversation follow*^, when the Committee inquired of both gentlemen their opinion as to the JlNiibility of Mr, Farnsworth suc- eteAr in ca»e both ran. meh stated that tl»y4td not believe it possible because every Republican vote would be polled, and they seperated with the understanding of a double Republican candidacy. Who Received "The Highest AmrdT" Did the International Judgesbf the Centennial Exhibition give a first-class testimonial to every exliibtor? It looks that way: at least The Tribune of Thurs­ day contained dispatches to the follow­ ing effect: "The Centennial Judges unite in be­ stowing the chief honor upon the Wil­ son Serving Machine Co." -nit' ery highest honor which could be conferred on any exhibitor--two Medals of Honor and two Diplomas Of Merit--<-have been awarded the Singer Mfg. Company for Sewing Machiues." "After a most energetic competition over sewing machines at the great Cen­ tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, the celebrated Weed Machines has taken the highest position and sweeps the honors, securing the first place." So it appears that the Wilson Sewing Machine won "the chief honor," the Singer Machine "the highest honor." and the Weed Machine "the highest position." So, too, we are told that St«inway received the "highest honor" for pianos, and Weber the "highest award." and Decker "the highest order of excellence" for his pianos. We fear the International Juries are all awry, or else that some sewing machine com­ panies aud piano manufacturer* have been fearfully demoralised. The des­ patches seem not only to justify the remark of Professor Huxly concerning the elasticity of our language, but sug­ gests that other significant fact, that some people's consciences are equally elastic.

The 19th of this month Is set apart as the "Maryland Day," 4ind bids fair to be the most exciting, brilliant day of the whole exhibition. Instead of simply having orators to speak, and marching of the State militia, i^r the other States have done en their cele­ bration -day. Maryland propose* to have all these, and a grand touina aent in addition. Ill this tournament 15 Knights will ride, and the victors are to crown the Queen of Love and Beau­ ty, and her Maids of Honor. Thus far the Pennsylvania day has been the rtiost successful of all the State days, and attracted nearly 900,000 visitors, the largest number that have attended the exhibition on any single day. Strange to say, the Americans are very poorly represented in jewelry, both in amount and quality. The manufac­ turers are represented entirely through the retail dealers, with a single excep­ tion. There are some magnifkient diamonds, and other precious stones, it Is true, but the gold jewetfy rather has the appearance of having been selected simply for sale, rather than as showing the best that the country produces In this line, and as might be expected, the exhibit is but second-class at best. The English exhibit, while not shoe­ ing as large and valuable diamonds, is better than the American so far as taste and elegance is ooncerned Russia's exhibit of jewelry, while quite small, is the finest and most elegant that I have ever seen. The bracelets are nearly all made of unpolished gold, but they twnsist of massive gold bauds, ornamented with a tew small diamonds or some simple raised figure, that give them such a rich, chaste appearance as is equalled by these of no other coun­ try. Several of the Americancases are each guarded, from the opening to the closing of the exhibition, by special policemen, owing to the value of the diamonds exhibited in them. Opposite the Main Hall is the Pho­ tographic Building which Is devoted to the exhibition of photographs, cray­ on portraits, and pictures of various kinds that are taken by the action of light Many of these photographs ?nd portraits are so fine and perfect as to almost defy criticism. If the French exhibit is.a fair sample of the work tlMlt has been very much overated. for both the American and English are far ahead of her. It is both an amusing and in­ structive study to begin with the old fashioned daguerreotypes and the first attempts at photography, and trace them forward to the fine, beautiful pictures that are taken to-day, and then imagine what the pictures of the future will be. Between the English and American photographs there are not much difference, but the Americans put more of a glaze and finish on their pictures than auy other couutry. In Machinery Hall there Is a very fine exhibit of weighing scales of all kinds; from those used by the apothe­ caries up to the large ones, used in weighing loaded wagons. Some of these scales are provided with four beams, one of which is used in weigh­ ing articles of all kinds, while the oth­ ers are provided with a double row of figures, and give not only the number of pounds of oats, cern or wheat that Is being weighed, but the numberof bush­ els also. One company has placed side by side, a whole row of scales, the beams of which are marked with Ger­ man, French, Spanish, Chinese and other characters, showing the weight of each country. Only the Americans and French are represented In this liae and the French scales really make one laugh to see them, they are so crude and primitive in form, and so compli­ cated. The English tcales^I was told by one who-had sold them are much larger and heavier than the American scales, and hence American scales are being made In large numbers and ship­ ped weekly to England where they are preferred on this acoount With all the advantage that England has In cheaper labor, and better workmen, these scales can be manufaotured in America, the freight paid across the ocean, and then sold cheaper than the English can make them, and yet there is a high protective duty on American scales. Our tariff appears rather odd, to say the least, in a very large number of cases. In tuany artioles, America leads the world to such an extent as to defy all competition, and yet high protective duties are kept up on these very articles to protect American labor against "the pauper labor of the old world." Iu the Carriage Building, and In i&v- eral private buildings on the grounds there is quite a fair exhibit of staves, ranges, grates and heater, but America is the only country represented, as in this line also, America leads the world. The complaints of the American man­ ufacturers and inventors are both loud and deep against both the Canadian and English manufacturers. The Am­ ericans say that in both thesec®ratrfts little or no effort is made to invent or improve stove*, bat that they import every American idea and invention and copy bodilv from them. If an Am­ erican dealer sells a stove to a foreign dealer, he feels sure that It will be sent abroad, taken apart, and the very- pieces themselves used as patterns, from which new stoves will be mads. American stoves are shipped both into Canada aud England, and defy foreign competition, and yet here again is a. high protective duty-*nd for what purpose. The Centennial Hog and Sheep Ex­ hibition is now open, and while the numberof animals exhibited Is net very large, they makeup in quality what is wanted in number. The re­ wards offered are so small that only those breeders who have animals that they uow wish to dispose of are repre­ sented, and hence the American exhtoit is very small. All of the animals sent by both England and Canada are sent here for sale. ThejCanadianCotswolds are so fat th&'t they can scarcely carry their own weight, while their fleeces are so long and thick that they appear to be„half dead; with the heat all the time. The; English Cotswolds are larger than the Canadian, but their wool Is not so long, and they are not so fat. The American Cotswolds are ISK ferlor to both of these. The finest sheep in the entire exhibition were purchased Ih England about 6 weeks ago by an American and are In the American collection. These are ail Oxford Downs i,Rams, and are among the finest that could be found in all England. One of them is the finest ram in England, and is hired for this season only, the exhibitor having to pay his passage to America and back again, leave 100 pounds sterling as a guarautee of his return, and pay 85 guiueas for his use. America alone exhibits Merino sheep, and these form fully f of h«r whole number. The number of hogs Is much 'smaller than the sheep, and of these America alone exhibts the Chester breed. Can­ ada has the finest suflblk hogs, but America has the finest and largpst Berkshire. The largest hog on exhi­ bition weighs 900 pounds. It is really pittiable to see the Suffolk hogs, They have little or no hair on them, and fiy-bite makes them bleed; the Sum­ mer sun blisters them, and they shlyer with cold from autumn until spring la nearly over. ffir Says the London . Timet.' "The desire to construct the largest single roof in the world was achieved in the roof of the Midland Railway station at Stfi*ancras, which now possesses that distinction, having eclipsed the roof of the Imperial Riding School at Mosoow by a few feet, the span of the former being 240 feet, and that of the latter 235 feet. The roof to cover the largo new station at St. Enoch Square for the Glasgow Union Railway has a span of 198 feet, and a length of 518 feet. The roof of the new joint station of tho Midland, the Great Northern and the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways has a span of 210 feet. S&*Mr. Bristow, upou making the acquaintance of ageutleman from this district a few days ago, said: "Your district is very ably represented In Congress," The gentleman thanked him for the compliment thus voluntar- ly made, when Mr. Bristow continued: "I consider that during the last session of Congress there was but one member In the House of Representatives mora able to meet and suoceesfolly combat the enemies of our common oountry than Gen. S. A. Hurlbut, and that man, was James G, Blaine of Maine." Doea any one supposs that suoh a remark could be truthfully said of William Lathrop. ^General Hurlbut U the regular Republican nominee. He carried the primaries in Kane,MoHenry and Boon* oounties, and received twenty-threo votes from these oounties, a majority of the entire convention vote of tho district. No fraud could deprive him of that right; and the unparalleled attempt made by Lord A Co. to dls» franchise Kane county of her voice in the convention, although it delayed, did not destroy the regularity of hia nomination.--Aurora Beacon.
