Among Our Exchanges

The editor of the Newaygo Tribune has been proniised occassional letters from Mr. J. J3. Hutchins, of Athens, Ga., a delégate at the late Chicago convent ion whom the editor of the Tribune met at that time. The Oxford Globe closed the first year of its existence with the issue of June 12. W. H. Marvin is the proprietor and J. W. Cannon is editor, and the lattcr ia no small f;un, either, in the way of shootinir a lively ocal paper to the public. The Vernon Herald, a aeven column folio, published by Lucius E. Gould, at Ver non, Shiawasse county, is a new paper upon our exchange liít. It is ;i live journal, and by the looks of the advertising page representa a live place. The issue befare us is No. 6 ot vol. 3i The Huron County News has been enlarged to an eight-page paper. Subscribers who pay in advance will receive the whole eight pages, but those who do not will only receive the home edition of four pages. This niakes a very large paper worth far more than the subscription price. The Shiawassee American appeared last week under its new departure. The llon. Jolin N. Ingersoll, the veteran editor, beng tho senior niember of the firm, while Geo. W. uwen, who for several years was connected with the Detroit Post and still later with the Tribune, is tbe junior member. The Journal can but be successlul, and we wish it iuany years of prosperity. The Cassapolis Yigilant: "In taking down the name of James G. Blaine from the head of our column, we are consoled by the thought that his friends named the next president.. Ocu. Onnt t;l ;ti the knowlodge that his line of 300 stalwarts stoad unbroken to the end. The two grandest men American civilization ever produced, proved eacü too strong for the other." The Flawk, published at Yermontvijle, Eaton Co., seeks an "x" upon our list. The paper is a five column quarto, with ft 61. Potter as editor and proprietor, evinces energy and good judgment in its editorial management, and has an advertising patronage most excellent. In political sentiment it is a stalwart republiean journal, and proposes to ke;p its Ilawkeye on the democrats in a lively way for a few months. The Albion Republiean says : " Whiie in the east and west a severe drouth prevails, here in Michigan, lying midway between, we are having more than euoueh rain. In fact it has been with us an unusually wet spring, and low grounda are almost, in many instauces quite inunduted. Wheat i growing so rank that it will hc likolv tn fall and lodge. In New York and New Entrland the heat is intense, and fruit, vegetables and spring crops of all sortí are drying up and give prouiise of nothing but failuro. In many localitios farmers havo plowed U their potatoes, and are waiting for rain to give them an opportunily to re-plant." The Tusoola Pioneor, published at Vasnr, has this very candid artiele respecting our great men: " When it was proudly boasted of General Grant that he had never been beaten, and nover could be, this statement alone oontained matter for reflection and alarm, ospecially when it was known to apyly to his fighting qualities and not to his hold upon the popular heart. This is a form of governtuent in whieh the peoplo are supposed to rule, and if the time ever comes when we have a man who cannot be beaten, theu indeed there is ground for the democratie assertion that we are tending toward a monarchy. It is our pride that our best men not only can be, but are willing to bo boaten when for any reason it is dccincd expedient for thcni to retire. The history ot' the past week proves that the pcople are firmlv ftstened to this rook. It is our principies and not our men, tbat we want to mako invincible." The Marlettc Index for June lOth comes to hand enlarged and tnproved. It is now a seven column folio, and the proprietors, Messrs. Hammond and Fenner, while building up a good paper for Sanilac county, aro helping to build up the place and the OOOI!' ty also. Speaking of a great difficulty which beset them at one' time the Index says: "After working very hard to change our forms, re-adjist our column rules, set up our press, and regúlate the impression, etc, we oncountered a diffieulty of seeming gigaptic dimensions. We were already to print, with the exception of an ink roller. Ve had ordered ono from Detroit, aud e.tpected it up to the last moment, but it did not come. It wis now too late to send for anothcr, and what should we do ? Somethiog had to be done, and Yankee grit and inpeuuity was equal to the emergency. Wc ?ot the tinsmith to nuke a zinc roller mould, bought some glue and raol&sses, invented :i elue pot, and proceeded to makc a roller. We had never made one, or soon ono nade, but it vras a Bnoöess. Y .'ire now preparsd to takc orders l'rom Detroit for rollers." Tho editor of the St. Jo. Traveler-Herald geta excited in his great joy over the nomiuations and " whoors it up " in this nianner : " lliirr:ih, for Hlaine ! Tlurrah forllrant! llurraii, lor Shcrman I llurr.ih, Rjr WasLbunif ! llurrah, fot Kdmunds ! llurrali, for Coukling ; for l'rye, for Cmeron, for Logan, for all of our gallant leaders ! Thcy each and all have inado a good tight for tluir favorito ; and wo, (you and I) had hopcd that our pretirenee tbr presilriitainl vii'e-president would be the choice of the convention, but we have been disappointed and we feel the diaappointmeqt Iceenly. Above our preferenee, howevcr, are the principios of the good old party, under whoee banger we have fought shouller to shoulder for many long yoirs, and aelieving in thoee prini iplea, li t oae grand solid shout go up from mie end of' tho line to tlie other for the men who havo bwn clectcd to repraseat tboso prinoiples in tbe great contest now befare us - .lames A. Lrarfield, ol Oliio ; Cheetei .. Arthur, of New York. Hurrah lor our tiii.
