JUDICIAL RLKCTEOL The Election for Judge in McH«nry on Monday resulted in the casting «f 878 votes, with a majority for the Hoik Clark W. Upton of forty-fine-. This was a much larger vote than was expected on account of the busy season, and the result shows the extreme popularity of Mr. Upton in this section. From ve turns received from different Ji|rt£ of Che District, the indications are that Hon. Clark W. Upton Is elect- •d by a handsome majority.

THK RAILWAY STUIKB. Th^ qiiestlon of the hour is net the relations of labor and capital, it is the question of the supremacy of law. We have MQ doubt that the law will tri- ttmpb^ Its hand is strong, and though it may move slowly at first, it will move Mid with majestic power, to the re­ storing of order and quiet. But in the meantime what wanton destruction of property not only, but of human lives! If it were only those who were putting law at defiance that werekilled it would not be quite so bad, though bad enough. Women and little children killed or maimed iu the rioting of men who have given rein to the fiendish instincts of their nature--it is horrible! And when it is all over, when the dead have been buried, and the charred fragments of wrecked property have been cleared away, what will the riot­ ers have gained? Nothing! These riotous proceedings tire simply wanton; they are the work of madmen, and the madness has no method in it. The railways will pay what wages they can afford,and those who are not willing to take them will have to give place to those who are. We are not discassing the question whether those wages are just. There is no room for such discus­ sion now. If you are not willing to work for the wages offered, you have a perfect right to say so* and to quit work. But you have no right to raise co much as your little finger to preveut others from working at those wages. This is the gist of the matter, and on this side are law, and common sense. Mid all intelligent and order-loving citizens We are willing to believe that many of those who have engaged in these strikes are astonished and dismayed at the lengths to which they have gone. They can see now the evil of any law­ less conduct. They have sowed the Wind, and as a result the whirlwind has come, and they are powerless. We hope that the authorities will so vigor­ ously and sternly enforce the laws that Ibis iailway strike will be the last of ^piese outbreaks of labor against capital jtet the laborers be taught that while they injure capital they injure them­ selves more; that the wanton destruc­ tion of property not only cripples the employer, but puts him in such antago nism to the laborer that the latter is f ot as likely to get good terms as be­ fore. We believe in impartial justice #n both sides. There is no justice, only the most flagrant injustice, in the destruction of property because you will not work for certain wages while another man will, The blood of all those dead people is on the heads of the men who have sown the wind of tills srliiilwind of wrath* .and lory, and woe. 50?* An old soldier has been passing some homely criticism i*pon one «f Mrs. Buttle i*s battle pieces. Be say6 the men's faces look too clean after a day's firing. For our own part, the greatest fault we have to find with the battle pieces of our great artists is that iu too many caeesthe uniforms appear to have been made with some vague Intention of fitting the soldiers who might wear thena. We don"t know how It may be in other countries, but in the United States army a quartermaster who would furnish a uniform that would fit an in­ fantry soldier any better than it would a cow, would be instantly dismissed from the service. This is a strict law and there has never been a dismissal under It yet. •6̂ " Some surprise is felt at, the secret purchases of large stores of pro­ visions at the West in behalf of the French Government,as it isunderstood It is also reported that the War De partmenfc of France are making unusual preparations, as if for some expected conflict. It would be supposed that France had stiffened eaoogh from war to be content now to cultivate the arts of peace. But as the desire for revenge still rankles, and as -glorj'M is the nation's impelling motive, we may ex­ pect to sec her legions again marshaled for the bloody strife. A"mad stone," supposed to pre vent hydrophobia, is being used on Iiobert Petersen, who was bitten several places by a rabid dog. The &tode is to make incisions over the •scars that the wounds left, and apply ithe stone, which cliggs awhile and 'then drops off. Several physicians are wa(cl<fag the test and will publish the teeuit for the information of their profession.. A man bitten by the same dog AUai bit Feterson lias died. GRAND ANNIVERSARY • 'VtvM . TH#»: . . ,» MCHENRY CORNET BAND. "•V During the past two weeks the far­ mers of this vicinity have been busily engaged harvesting their Rye, Wheat and Oats, all of which promise more than an average yield. Despite the prediction of some of onr wise townsmen to the contrary, Mr. J. W. Crtsty's new departure, namely, the cash system, is in every way a success. J. E. Vasev has at last sheared Wm. Langham; done the work and pro­ nounced it one of the finest clips he ever handled. The familiar countenance of J. E. Garver of Richmond was seen on our streets one day last week. There *'ill be an entertainment at the M. E. Church next Friday evening, consisting of select readings and reci­ tations. A rare treat is promised all who attend. The Buekland cheese factory, under the management of our friend Morley. is turning out as good cheese as can be found any where. We have sampled them and know whereof we speak. BISMARK. •g _... -- CREENWOOD EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--We. in this locality are getting extremely dry, suffering from a severe drouth, no rain havi ng been given ussince the 5th day of July. Our more fortunate neighbors around us have been favored with occasional showers, while we poor mortals are suffering no doubt, some just penalty. The potatoe and corn crops which three weeks ago looked so promisingly fine are now so much in­ ured by the drouth that under the most favorable circumstances but a light crop can be expected. The time of haying and harvest have bten ex­ ceedingly fine, and right well have the farmers improved it. The crops of small grain will be full more than the average. , The Judicial election which took place on Mfcnday resulted in giving Mr Upton a slight majority in this pre- inct. The question has been repeated ly asked, why, this Special Election for Judge, incuring tho double and seem­ ingly unnecessary expense. This is a que stiou we are unable to answer, neither hav* we been able to obtain a satisfactory and reasonable answer, why such should be the case. Some claim, that the object is to prevent the unpleasant mixing up with the general political trafic, and bartering of the politician, and to avoid the contamina­ ting influence which are brought to bear through the "you tickle me, and Til tickle you." system which is so generally practiced at the present day. This with other similar reasons appear to be about the only reason given, which are certainly insufficient to war­ rant the extra expense and difficulty offgettingat the voice of the people, coming as it does in thto most busy season of the year No strike in Greenwood. Trains rnnning regularly again since the re­ turn of the Mayor from his Eastern vi sit. Mrs Alden, wif e of Rev. B. Alden is quite poorly, suffering from the effect of a slight paralytic stroke. The time 6>f holding service at the Baptist Church has been chanced from the afternoon, to half past ten A. This does not appear to us to be exact­ ly wisdom, nevertheless Vox populi Vox dei. EVEN. |&*Qursympathies are all with la­ bor. We would see the laborer paid what his service is worth, and treated In aUfairness; but we do not believe in such combinations as have built up the strike •system-; we condemn the spirit that has long assumed dictatorship over labor interests^ and we cannot find words strong enough to express our detestation of that rule-or-ruin recklessness which works mischief in the name of right, and delight^ in stim­ ulating mobs which it can not pacify.-- If sueh scenes as witnessed ate possible, if the woes of the Freueh coin muiie are a dread possibility Jo America they become so through these labor combinations alone, and must be an swered for at the doors of the strike system. This system has already wrought incalculable harm, and its mis­ chief seems likely to spread and bear bloody fruit, until the whole spirit and animus of it is subordinated. We do not forget that the worst deeds of the last tew days • were done by the unorganized, mob, and not by the strikers. But what the strike be­ gun it did not stay--what it could not stop, it had no right to set in motion. If the strikers set an unruly rabble to burn and plunder indiscriminately, on the strikers must rest the blame. But the interest to suffer most is the labor interest, as it simply must be from the nature of the case. All prosperity be­ gins in labor; and labor most damages itself when it blocks the wheels of busi­ ness and stops trade. If the renewing activity of commerce is to be drugged to sleep again by these labor demon­ strations, none witt so deeply feel the hardships that are sure to follow as will the laborers themselves. m *• The McHenry Cornet Band will hold their first Anniversary in Owen*# Grove near the Pickle Factory, on TUESDAY, AUC,, 14th 1877 Marshal of the Day.

Aug. 6, The Board met at 2 o'clock p. m., with an unusually large attendance.-- Although there were numerous buyers present, sales were very small, only two factories having reported any sales. Orleans 4 Corners factory sold 100 boxes at 10cents per pound; also Wall Street factory 120 boxes at 10 cents per pound. Thirty-five factories were represen­ ted on the books of the board, offering about 4,000 pounds of chcese. Bids ranged from 9J to 10c, leading factories holding for 10} cents. ITTICA, N. Y., Aug. «, CHEESE.--The market to-day recov­ ered somewhat from last week's de­ pression, all danger of future troubles from the strike being averted. The offering was but 10,000 boxes, being not over 1,000 more than last Monday. The immense exports of two weeks ago still made buyers cautious, while the light receipts of last week gave sellers courage to hold for an advance. The market finally settled Into about the trade of two weeks ago, and prices lower. Of the 10,000 boxes offered about 3,000 were consigned. The balance went at 9Jc., 9Jc., 9fe., 10c., lOJc, 10fc., and 10£c, More cheese sold at 10c., than for any other figure, the next greatest number going at 9|c. A thousand or so were disposed of at 9J to 9}c. The majority of fine lots sold for 10]c. Five or six lets sold for the extreme high price of 10Jc. None sold higher inopen market, and if any were bought for more than 10} it was by special bargain and the figures obtained are not quotable. LITTLE FAILS, N. Y. Aug. 8, CHEESE.--The decline of the market was something of a surprise to sales­ men, who argued that inasmuch as the shipments to New York were light last week, the prices ought to be heavy this week. But the figures show that, notwithstanding the railroad strike, nearly 6,000 more cheese arrived in New York last week than during the corresponding week last year. Two causes operated to bring down the price to-day. One was that foreign or* ders have weakened of late; another was that buyers fear the arrival of large quantities of Western cheese in New York, during the coining week, which will glut the market. FARM DAIRY.--We quote 21 lois ftgj gregating 493 boxes, at the following, prices: 8Jc., 9c., 9Jc.,9}c., 9|c., and 10c Two lots only sold at 10c., while 0£g., was the average price. The proprietor of the Occiden­ tal H-otel in San Francisco, recently said publicly that no bills would be presented to army officers by him un­ til Congress made an appropriation for their pay. The consequence is said to be that, an astonishing number of guests are registered there with pre­ fixes of "Col.,* "Maj.," "Capt.," or 'Lieutenant." tSSTTrials have been made in Rome ofasdlution ofehloride of calcium as a substitute for water in laying ̂ ust in , streets, and the results are said to be highly satisfaction. The dampness communicated to the road remains for a whole week. The road remains damp without being muddy, presenting a hard surface,on which neither the wind nor che passing of pedestrians or horses has any effect. FOR BARGAINS. MONET JUS CHIEF •» * - ' w % .
