Oon. OarfielJ is to visit Detroit soou, upon the invitation of Senator Baldwin. Philo Pratt, hitherto a prominent greenbacker of Ualhoun county is out for Garfield and Arthur. The south ia solid throuuh forcc and fraud ; tlie north will bc solid through honest convictions. W. 8. Georgc, of the Lansing llepublioan, read a paper before tho American banker's association at Saratoga last weck. A railroad acoident to an exoursion train from Philadelphia and AtlantioCity.N. J., occurrod at May's Landing, N. J., last week, in which 15 deaths occurrod, and 41 badly injurcd. The city council of Quebec got md rcocntly andshut off the gas from the strecti. In onc week 50 burglaries and one niurdcr oocurrcd, tnd then tho gas was turned on again. Au aatoniahing assertion frum the Brooklyn Eagle, democratie: " If Mr. Oartield should bc olected President we do uot believe lie will disgrace oither himself or the office by vulgar dishonesty." Du teil I The demócrata attompted to start a hurricane down in Indiana the other nifrht by having some 200 speeches delivered in one ovoning at different points, but a reaction set in and nothiug but foul gas rcsulted. Omar D. Conger was renominatcd for representativo in Congress by the oongrensional convention of tho 7th district on Friday of lst week. Eleven votes were cast for Ilon. Joseph B. Moore, of Lapeer. Maud S., and St. Julien, two of the famous fast horses of the timos, recently made the heretoforo unequalad timo of 2:111 upon tho Kochester traok. Kaoh horso earnod a special purse of 12,000. Col. Cyrus M. Allen, of Indiana, one of tho most prominent demócrata herotofore, has oome over to the sido of justice and right, and will hcreafter be found advocating the oauso of Gartield and Arthur in this campaign. Tho firet intimation that Gen. O. L. Spaulding had of his nomination for oongross in tho .sixth distriot, wan from newspapcr reports. He was in Detroit at the time, and on hiu way homo froui a protraoted absence. Perbaps the deinoorats would aay that you weretryiogto stir up stxtionalisui if you shuuld etate that the post office de partinent would be a paying investment with the southern states eliiuin;ited. But it is a faet jast the Mini'. The l'uited Statos inapectors, who havo been investigating the Mamie disaster whioh uccurred on the Detroit river, have rescinded the liuenses of Capts. (ieorge D. Hom, of the Garland, and Wui. Iloffiuan, of thu Mamie. So far, so good. The demócrata of the eighth congresaional district, have nominatcd oue Timothy K. Tarusey, as the opponent of the Hon. It. ü. Horr. And by the auiount of wind being expended by the young man one would think thcre was no chance lor the vetcran bumorist of the eighth. Billy English with au II. in the center, the t-il of the democratie kite, spends bis time in eutting out artiolcs ('rum republican papers giving bis record, and proposes to instituía suits tbr libel alter the cauipaign is over. Oh, pshaw ! Billy I It ought not to woi ry you so to uavc the truth come out. The solidity of Alabama and KeutucLy in the late elections is worth thouaands and thousands of votes to the republiean ticket in the north. The barefaced and disgraceful inethods used by the demoorats of those states to carry the day, haa dicgusted thousands at the north who will no longer vote to uphold these red handed villains. While our democratie friendi are howling vigorously at the republicans for not nominating a farmer for governor, they will do well to remember that Land Cominissioner James M. Neasmith is one of the most sucoessful farmers of western Michigan, and Wm. Jenney is one of the successful farmers of the eastern portion of the state. Perhaps " farmer Ilolloway," of Hillsdale, is a big enough man to offset beth of these gentlemen, but we doubt it very mach. y Adelaide Neilson the great actress, died very suddenly at Paris last Monday, Aug. 15th. It seems she had, in company with a few friends, stepped into a restaurant. During the mcal she suddenly turned pale, gave a low cry, pressed her hand upon her heart, and feil back dead, the reeult of heart disease. Her death ia a sad loss to the profession. Miss Neilson was born at Saragossa, Spain, in 1850, of an English mothor and Spanish father, aDd at the time of her death was but 30 years old. She died at the very height of her curcer, and greatly respcotedby the friends of the dratca in Europe and America. Thcre are people in the republican party even, who put themselves, insinifieant as they are, above cverything else. The auecess of the party and its principien amounts to nothing in comparison, and thus even on the eve of a political battle we find them tooting their brass horns and endeavoring to stir up dissension and strife. Such pcople are always snuffed out, however, by their own exortions, and aside from a li t tic unpleasant sinell wbich arises from the smoke alter the sunffing process, no hartn accrues. In unity the republican party will be sucoessful this fall. By quarreling the demócrata will reap the victory. A great howdo do and hullabaloo was made reoently over the supposed capture of old John Bender and his wife, the great Kansas murderers. The captured parties went so far as to confess all about the many horrible crimes they oommitted, even going into the minute particulars of the different occasions. A terrible excitement was created thereby and the officer in charge is said to have exhibited bis prisonors at 1Í5 cents a head. But when the old couple reached the scène of their pretended exploits in Kansas, no one knew them. They werc found to be base deceivers who had impoaed upon the ingenuous offieers and public, and received a free ride to Kansas. Further information waselicited, which went to prove that the Bender family were all exeouted at the time of their flight, and Woru thpy got outaide of tho county in which they lived, and did their murderous work. It is to be hoped this last information is truc, and that tho public will not be guüed by any more spurious pretenders. We might add that any persons who would teil such tales as this old man and woman did, ought in reality to be taken at their word and promptly sent to prison for life, or given some other punishment equally severe. They are at least dangerous to any community, and desorve to be deprived of their liberty.
