A RARE OHANOE. We have at our disposal five cop- ies of the Breeders Lzve-Stock Sournal, a monthly periodical con- taining 128 pages, published at Beecher Illinois, and devoted to the breeding ot blooded steck. We will send the Butler Weekly Timms and the Breeders Journal, one year, fer $1,75, cashin advance. This 1s a rare offer, and we can’t ac- commodate but five subscribers, as we have made arrangements for only five copies of the Breeders Fournal Call and see sample copiea of both publications ESE A OOWARD’S ATTAUK. The Paola, Kansas, Zimes, pub- fished in a recent issue a letter trom its traveling correspondent written trom our neighboring town Nevada. We assert, without the least fear of contradiction, that the letter refered to contaims more bare-faced lies to the square than any thing that has found its way in print since the last Presidential election. Always upon the eve ot Presidential election, emussaries sent forth trom the political center ot the North who go South in search ot something that does not exist, to be-lie our people and misrepresent the political conditions of the coun- try. . The country has been at since the last generat election, but another national campaign 1s rapid- are ty approaching, and we find already | in our midst the emissaries of the enemy, the yilest poltroons of crea- tion.. We are not surprised at their presence. The correspondence in question put the people of Southwest Mis- souri down as ignorant, rebellious in thought and deed to the Govern- ment of the Union, practicing the ‘‘shot-gun policy’’ on the colered people, insulting and outraging ev- ery Northern Republican and that our boys, young men just merging | into manhood, are without exception after the Dick Liddle stripe. And the villainous scoundral does not stop here. Nothing 1s exempt that are insulted and scandalized devilish lies ot this cranky scape- grace. Words are inaciequate to express a proper degree of contempt for such a miserable coward, liar and assassin.

However, Goy. Butler is gate keeper and Harvard may ask leave to go in- to the State treasury for her annual supply, and solicit other fayors of the Commonwealth. If we mistake not the character of his excellency, Har- vards assertion of power and selt- | importance will suffer the conse- | quences of her folly. And now the public is treated to another case ot debauchery 11 some particulars similar to the Thomp- son—Davis affair. A couple of young ladies and gentlemen of Dey nisen Texas, visited Sherman ene day, and while there the whole par- ty became gloriously drunk, during | which time one of the young ladies. | Miss Bayless, the daughter of a prominent stock man, was debauch- ed, or in other words raped, >y her escort Henry Burke. The conse- quences were, upon returning home and feeling the full extent of her shame, Miss Bayless committed su- icide by shooting herself. The com- munity is enraged over the affair, and both young men are in danger of being mobed. Governor Crittenden has used the pardoning power in at least one case that is commendable in the highest degree. It was the recent pardon of Edward Adams, convicted of mur- der in the second degree in the Cass county circuit court, and sentanced to ten years in the Penitentiary. Ad- ams crime was the killing of Jas. R. Cox, at Pleasant Hill, ter grievous- ly insulting his wife. ‘The Judge, victed Adams, signed the Missouri’s firesides must be protected, and ther’s no bet- | ter protector than the bullet.

P Henry Waterson, of the Couréer- Journal is reported as saying that, “under no circumstances will Mr. Tilden be a candidate next year. He would not take the nomination it the Democratic convention were to unanimously proclaim him it’s caR- didate.’’ Notwithstanding this very positive statement ot Mr. Waterson, the ‘lites 1s still unalterable in_ it’s opinion that Tilden and Hendricks must be the ticket if tie Democratic party wantsan overwhelming victory. And now Republican Iowa, alse Prohibition Iowa, passes tu the front with a very disgraceful, unlawabid- ing piece of business. A mob of two hundred men broke open the jail at Waverly afew days ago and taking theretrom the Barber broth- ers, hung them to a tree near by amid great disorder and _ consterna- It is therefore plain that mob tion. violence is not confined to any par- ticular section or political condition. The Jury in the case of Fox, tor the murder of W. I. Howard, at Nevada, returned a verdict ot guilty, and the sentence of death by hang- ing on July 18, was pronounced up- on him. In aninterview with the atl, Pox expressed sorrow for kill- ing Howard, stating at the ume that it was che result of keeping bad com- lewed pany, especially that ot wo- men. The attention ot the Republican is respectfully directed to the Grand Jury’s report om the financial condi- tion of the county, printed elswhere in to-days Times. The published financial statement of the county, and the position occupied by the Tres, are fully sustained by the examination of the Grand Jury. What next, gentlemen. The Democrats of Iowa met in convention at Des Moines, on June 6, and placed in nomination the tol- lowing State ticket: For Governor, Judge Kinne; Lieut. Governor, J. C. Clark; Supreme Court, Judge Walton J. Hayes; Superintendent of Public Instruction, E. B. Farr. ‘The Grand Jury reiterates the ex- Pression that the county jail is a burning disgiace to the county, the Shenff and the prisoners, and re- commends to the court the building of a new one, confident that the | people will endorse their action. ———————— The assessed valuation of the real jsenal $475,392.

It is reported—and the report does not lack foundation--that there is a house located on East Locust street country, are each year adding to the store of wealth. And for the first time since the close of the war the people ap- pear happy and contented. Nor is this prosperity confined to any one section or industry. The cotton factories through North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, are paying trom 18 to 33 1-3 per cent. on the capital in- vested. The cheap iron of Tennessce and labama 1s produced at so low a rate that it has becom formidable competitor to the Ohio and Missis- sippi Valleys The early from the entire market at the North, re sum, tu the industrious grower.

If cotton in the past was King, the cotton seed of the present must be Queen, for its value, in the shape of oil, cake and fertilizer is fast reaching that ot the old staple itself. These are only the prominent sources ot wealth; we say nothing of general agriculture ; the vast lumber interest, each day growing in value (no pun), or the untold wealth in the countless mines, ot almest every known mineral. These alone would make a people rich. It is surely noprophecy. then, to say, with all the many advantages of this tavered country, that its peo- ple, with ordinary care and _thritt, must in a few years rivial the north in wealth.
