Above orices per ton delivered. good until August ist, when cash accompanies the order. EDS rati. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Jan. 19, 1885. During the past week the debates and acts of Congress have touched a variety of subjects. The French Spoliation bill, which was first brought up eighty-three years ago, has passed both houses, and the Nicarauguan bill, which opens up the wid est and gravest possibilities, has been debated. Jefferson Davis and Tecumseh Sherman have both revisited the glimpses of the moon, and the Senate has voted to restore Ulysses S. Grant to his rank in the army. There was considerable surprise expressed at the fact that Democratic Senators voted with the Republicans to restore Gen. Grant, but more surprise will be expressed if the Democratic House shall al low it to become a law. Human idolatry never reached a more beastly depth than in its worship of Grant. The country does not owe as much to him as it does to hundreds of others. But because he has lost his ill gotten fortune through stupidity and fraud, and his wonderful health through prolonged dissipation, the Senate, a portion of the press, and a herd of millionaires dissolve in maudlin pity over aft example of spurious greatness to which history furnishes no parallel. There are decided objections against re storing Gen. Grant to his rank in the army. The last time he held power as president of the United States, he used it to disperse Southern Legislatures and to overawe op position to the fraudulent seizure of the presidency by the conspirators of 1876. The Edmonds bill proposes to place him only on the retired list of generals, but the Supreme Court has decided that the retired list is as fully a part of the army as the active list, and that the former may at any time be called into service. Suppose there should be another disputed election, as In 1676, or like that which occurred only last November. How easy and how natural (had another than Arthur been in the White House) would it have been for Blaine to summon Grant, as senior general, to assume command. And with his name and prestige, and the fanaticism - of his idolaters, the crime and shame of 1876 might have been repeated. History never repeats itself, but folly and crime are perpetual.- These dangers may be treated as trivialities, since they are not imminent, but It will be the part of folly to make them even remotely possible by placing Grant again in the army. There is a disposition on the Democratic side here in both Houses to do nothing at this short session except to pass the appropriation bills. The remaining days of the session are so few and the appropriation bills still to be considered are so many that this postponment to another Congress of all legislation will be easy to accomplish. It is not among the impossibilities that there maybe an extra session, and. for a number of reasons, it need not be depre cated. As it is now, more than a year commonly intervenes between the election of Congressm en and the beginning of their duties. This fact has frequently been commented upon as opposed to the spirit of our laws, and objectionable. The election and the service should be brought nearer together, either by spring elections, or spring sessions. There is certainly no reason why of two men elected toco-ordinate public trusts at the same time, one should enter upon office on the fourth of March and the other qn the first Monday of the following December. But apart from the abstract questions involved, it will scarcely be disputed by those at all familiar with the work now thrust upon Congress, that its ordinary sessions are of inadequate length to enable it to cope with: its legitimate business. It is true that much time is now wasted, and that more would be if the sessions were longer, but that does not argue that Congress, should not give itself a fair chance to do its work. The President's social duties have kept him busy during the past week, and are likely to employ his evenings for some time to come. He has abandoned all idea of visiting the New Orleans Exposition in an official capacity and has so informed the board of managers. He expects, however, to make a short visit to the Exposition after the 4th of March, and then, of course, he will go as a private eitizen. He had hoped to attend the Exposition during the month February, and had consequently re frained from extending his engagements into that month. Imtereatiag Reminiscences the Hon.

We copy below, from the Wayne County Democrat, some interesting recollections of General Jackson and his times, by Horn Benj. Patton, of Hicksville, Defiance Co., who has many friendly acquaintances in this county. He has made several speeches in this vicinity, represented Defiance and Paulding counties in the legislature, was a prominent candidate for the senatorship from this district, and has held many offices of honor and responsibility. Judge Patton has reached nearly four score years and is happy in the distinction of being perhaps the most intimate personal friend, now living, of the noble old hero, of whom he spoke so entertainingly in the "Eighth" celebration at Wooster. The speech will be read with especial interest by those of our readers whose privilege and pleasure it was to vote for "Old Hickory." JUDGE PATTON'S SPEECH. I saw General Jackson inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1829. I was then about 19 years of age, living and pursuing my studies in Carlisle, Pennsyl vania. Gen. .Robert Disha, a near rel ative of mine, was then a member of Congress from Tennessee, as was also Mr. James K. Polk, afterwards Presi dent, and one of the purest men in all respects that ever lived. I saw a great deal of them both, and was, in a measure, under their care and guidance. They were close personal and political friends of the "old hero." They intro duced me to him at his rooms in Gads by's Hotel before he was inaugurated I was first somewhat awed by his stately presence. But that feeling soon vanished when I noticed his kindly, cordial words and ways toward all who approached him. He was naturally graceful in his movements, and always gracious, polite and considerate to ward his friends, and especially toward young people and the ladies. But imagine that if a known enemy had appeared in sheep's clothing among his friends, his countenance would have worn an unmistakable frown in stead of a hypocritical smile. He was utterly incapaole or dissimulation or hypocrisy. The inauguration was a very plain, simple, quiet affair ; and in that respect reflected the true spirit and genius of our plain Republican institutions. The President walked from his quarters at Gadsby's Hotel to the Capitol. A good part of the way he went bareheaded. He was accompanied by a few personal friends, and amongst them were some venerable men, with gray heads, who, like himself, had served in the war of the Revolution. He moved with head erect, and, notwithstanding his age, as straight as an arrow. , To my young mind and heart the spectacle was a grand one, grand in its simplicity, and grand in its per sonal and historical associations. Fuss and feathers, pomp and pageantry would have spoiled its effect. He was not incommoded by the crowd pressing on him. American citizens in those days had too much self-respect to indulge in idle curiosity at the expense of good manners too good a sense or tneir own status as American freemen to engage in any sort of man worship. But if the people did not press upon him on the way, they waited for. and met him in large numbers at the East ern portico of the Capitol, where they listened quietly and soberly to his in augural address. The principles set forth in that address will live while the Republic lives, and can only die with it to be buried in the same grave, But to tell the truth, while I stood near enough to hear anything he said, I did not hear the one-half of the ad dress. A beautiful young lady from Baltimore, richly and tastefully dressed in black silk velvet, stood in a commanding position on the portico, ana sue, although a stranger to me, absorbed so much of my attention that I almost lost sight of the President and his address. I had never before been that far away from home. I spent five days in Washington. I stopped at the Mansion House, now Willard's, my hotel bill amounting to $9.25. Wood was the only fuel then used. Candles were used instead of gas. The best Havana and Principe cigars cost some five cents each. If I had dispensed with a fire in my room and with ci gars, my bill would have amounted to about $7. Two or three years ago I came across this bill amongst my old papers. A copy of it was then pub lished in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and from it copied into many other papers. The original is in the posses sion of our member of Congress, Hon W. Hill, who writes to me that it is an object of no little curiosity to his fel low members. If members of Congress could now live at the hotels in Wash ington for $1.25 a day, they would soon grow rich on $5,000 a year. I was introduced to a number of the distinguished men of that day, amongst the rest to Mr. Burgess, of Rhode Island. He was the man who gave John Randolph such a terrible scoring on the floor of Congress. I called with Gen. Disha at Mr. Ran dolph's quarters to be introduced to him. But he was not in, and I did not meet him, a matter that I have deeply regretted from that day to this. There was such a blending in his com position of eccentricity, genius and scholarship, of personal, social and po litical romance, as to impart to his character a peculiar attraction. I was greatly impressed by the im posing presence and dignified manners of the leading men I met at that time in Washington. The prominent men of the present day would suffer in a comparison with them in these re spects. Some months after the inauguration by invitation from Commodore Elliott, who had been assigned to the com mand of our naval squadron in the West Indias and Gulf pf Mexico. I went with him as his Secretary, and spent a year abroad on a man of war. On my return I was bearer of dispatches to the Government at Washington, and again had the pleasure of seeing a good deal of Gen. Jackson. The fact is I had matters of public and national interest to talk to him about. The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography of 1883 gives me the credit of preventing, in my humble capacity of Secretary to the Commodore, a war with Mexico at that time. I do not propose to discuss that question now. It would be too long a story. But sometimes the pen of the scribe has as much to do with the settlement of great international 'questions as the superior authority that is supposed to control it. The substiution of mild words for harsh ones has prevented many a war, just as it preserves peace and harmony in our social and domestic relations. I think it was on the occasion of that visit to Washington - that I par took of a family dinner with General Jackson at the White House. - There was no other guest at the table. It did not groan, as I am told it now does, under a weight of the precious metals in the shape of costly table furniture. The dinner was almost as plain as that of a substantial farmer. Reverently and humbly he asked the divine blessing on the provision before us. Major Donelson, his private Secretary, Mrs. Donelson, and two young ladies, members of his household, from Tennessee, were present. The General was very abstemious in his diet, which was confined to rice and milk. There was wine on the table. He did not drink any of it himself. Total abstinence was, I think, the rule with him. He took but little part in the conversation, leaving that to the younger portion of the company. For my part I preferred to talk to the young ladies, and while doing so had the misfortune to spill some red wine on the table cloth. This, you know, is amongst polite people regarded as an unpardonable offense. I knew enough to know that, and felt bad about it. But a little salt, quickly applied removed the stain, and the General's kindly and considerate interposition removed myembarrassment. After being admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania I went in company with General Disha and James K. Polk to Nashville with the intention of mak ing that my permanent place of residence. While there I made a visit to the Hermitage, that great Mecca for domestic pilgrims. On my return from it, a vicious horse that I rode managed to land me flat on the road. As a memento of that visit I feel occasionally to this day a twinge of rheumatism in my shoulder. The General was not there ; but his spirit seemed to pervade everything about the premises. Order, kindliness and hospitality reigned throughout the household. It was a pleasure to breathe the atmosphere of a locality to which its illustrious owner was deeply attached by social and domestic ties, where he loved to enjoy the society of his friends and a good and gentle wife, a pious lady, whose life was shortened by the brutal attacks of a scurrilous partisan press, and where the purest sentiments of virtue, patriotism and religion prevailed. He was then in Washington, faith fully performing the duties of his high offlce, and battling for the right and for the people against the assumptions of a gigantic moneyed power. It was a fearful conflict, and no other man in America could have fought the battle successfully as he did. When he laid irreverent hands on that idol of the moneyed aristocracy, the United States Bank, and removed from its vaults the government deposits, a frightful howl from its worshipers was heard throughout the length and breadth of the land. His Secretary of the Treasury resigned, being opposed to the measure. His friends were greatly alarmed. It looked as if he and his administration would be compelled to yield to the fury of his assailants. But he towered like a rock in the midst of the storm, and defied its power. He came out of the conflict in triumph. And the American people are to this day indebted to him for much of what ever is left of the cause of popular sov ereignty after twenty-five years of public plunder and corruption, and of the reign of monopoly and capital. I was only about twenty-two years old when he appointed me U. S. At torney for the Western District of Pennsylvania. That good and great man, Gen. Cass, then Secretary of War, was my voucher and indorser. On the morning on which my appointment was announced I was in the reading room at Gadsby's Hotel. A gentleman, a stranger, spoke to me and said, "I see the President has appointed a District Attorney for Pennsylvania. They say he is a mere boy." Without disclosing my identity Ire-plied, "Yes, he is a very young man. I know him. And I am sure he will endeavor by study and application to make up for his want of age and experience." Whether that promise was redeemed it is not for me to say. But the young incumbent probably did not disgrace himself in the office, nor reflect discredit on the appointing power, or he would not have been promoted at the age of twenty-eight to the President Judgeship, of the Pittsburg District. My official 'duties sometimes called me to Washington. On one of these occasions I found myself one morning shortly after breakfast sitting alone with the "old hero" in the Executive Chamber at the White House. Mr. Webster had recently made a famous speech at Worcester, Massachusetts. It was a terrific attack on the Admin" istration. Gen. Jackson was aware of the fact. That morning the speech made its first appearance in the Washington papers.. A paper containing it was on the table. He called my attention to it, and requested me to read the speech to him. : Of course I complied with the request, expecting to see, before I got through with it, a fearful display of temper, and to hear some mad and bitter denunciations, but throughout the reading he smoked his pipe, and remained as calm as a summer's morning, lie interrupted me but once, and that was to say "I would not mind what the fellow says, if he would only stick to the truth." I remember distinctly the words, where he sat, and how he looked with his pipe in his mouth. I can almost recall the tones of his voice the same voice that gave the word of command when foreign foes, who had invaded our soil, were to be defeated and. repulsed when domestic treason was to be strangled in its cradle and when the people were to be rescued from the fangs of a moneyed power that aspired to the entire control of the Government.I was in the habit of sending to him from Pittsburjr the returns of the Pennsylvania elections, especially on occasions when he would be absent from Washington, and on a visit to the Hermitage. The first returns that came in, especially from the large towns and cities, were generally unfavorable to opr side. My good friend, Mrs. Judge Catron, of Nashville, who was for many years a bright ornament to the society of Washington while her husband, Judge Catron, was on the Bench of the Supreme Court, is responsible for the following little incident, as she related it to me. The General rode into Nashville on the oc casion mainly to hear the result of the recent election in Pennsylvania. He set great store by Pennsylvania, a state that was always true as steel to him, and his principles. She seems to have turned her back on the teachings that governed her actions in the better days of the Republic. The Gen eral met a larse party of friends at Judge Catron's house. Some one said to him. "General, the news from Pennsylvania looks rather dlscourag ine." He replied. "Wait till I hear from my young friend Patton. Then we will know all about it." If he recognized the young man as being true to him and his cause then, the young man now, having reached the "season of the sere and yellow leaf," trusts he is true to it still. If, in relating such matters, he trespasses upon the rules of good taste, and subjects himself to a charge of egotism, you may attribute it to what you please. He cannot for his part control the thro Doings of a heart full of gratitude to a great and noble man. who in the height of his power, and occupying a large share in the world's thought, remembered the A.OTwv.,M,ttTAl.. nkaAitM, nAiini man who had proved himself grateful for past favors. Toward the close of my first official term I was confined by a long contin ued affliction, and unable to attend in person to the duties of my office. But they were faithfully performed by my partner in the practice of law, Hon. Charles Shuler, in his day one of the most distinguished lawyers in Penn sylvania. There were hungry aspirants for the office, who supposed that the state of my health made a good opportunity for them to present their claims. They learned to their sorrow that they had made a fearful mistake As I learned from a near friend of the President, he treated their demand with outspoken scorn and contempt. This was to me a gratifying proof of his confidence and magnanimity. If I betray a weakness in referring to such matters, you must admit I have good reasons for .laying my tribute of pro found respect and gratitude on the altar consecrated to his memory. During my judicial term at Pittsburg I was in Washington on one occasion during the administration of Mr. Tyler, just a few days before the annual meeting of Congress. Mr. Tyler had at a previous session vetoed Mr. Clay's pet measure, a bill rechar agraph would be in the message. And so it turned out. I do not say it was done at my instance. But I certainly had something to do with it. The message contained the desired recom- edge of its operations and workings ia other parts of the State, - Mr. Chamberlain, who, as Secretzry of the State Board of AgriccUzre, travels extensively throughout tLe mendation. Congress accepted it and I state and has frequently had opportxa Clay's pet measure, a tering the United States Bank. He had thus broken with Mr. Clay and the Whig party, and was anxious to make friends with the Democratic party. Henry A. Wise, Caleb Cush-ing, George Promt, of Indiana, and W. W. Irwin, of Pittsburg, all members of Congress, were Mr. Tyler's close and confidential friends. They constituted what was called the "Kitchen Cabinet." I was quite intimate with Mr. Irwin. We both lived in Pittsburg. Talking with him one day on the subject, I suggested that if Mr. Tyler would put in his forthcoming annual message a paragraph recommending to Congress to pass an act and make an appropriation to reimburse General Jackson for the amount of the fine imposed on him by Judge Hall at New Orleans, it would be regarded by the Jackson Democrats as a gracious act, and would help to attract to Mr. Tyler and his administration their good will. Mr. Irwin approved of the suggestion. He informed me shortly afterwards that the direct par- made an appropriation to refund to Gen. Jackson the whole, amount of the fine and the interest thereon. It was understood that it took a good deal of coaxing to induce the General to accept it, notwithstanding the fact that hie was at that time in somewhat straightened circumstances financially. He always took pleasure in the fact of having paid the fine with his own funds, as a proof of his respect for the laws, and that he upheld the great American doctrine that the military must be subordinate to the civil power. The extent of my humble agency' in the matter has never before been made public. But it has . always been to me a source of inward satisfaction, as an act of duty and gratitude to one who in my boyhood has placed me in a position of trust and honor, and had given me my first and best start in life and in the line of my profession. With undaunted courage he combined great gentleness and consideration especially toward the unfortunate, tlie defenceless, the weak, and oppressed.' You had but to mention the name of a lady in distress, and all his sympathies were in a moment aroused, and his means and influence promptly interposed in . her behalf. He was the soul of gallantry in ite best and truest sense. He spurned every thing that smacked of meanness or dishonesty. He was strictly upright in all his affairs and all his dealings, public and private. Whether on the field of battle, or in the dismal con flicts in which he had the misfortune to be involved, he exhibited a rare combination of aggressive bravery and cool discretion. To unworthy propositions he had the courage to say no to his friends as well as his opponents. He might have been President in 1825, when the election devolved on the House of Representatives, if he had consented to resort to the process of "bargain and sale," as was proposed to him. But he treated the proposition with scorn. Not even the prize of the Presidency itself could allure him from the path of virtue and honor. Mr. Hayes was not troubled with any such scruples when he crawled into the Presidential chair through the filth and slime and fraud and conspiracy, and afterwards rewarded with offices in his gift all the chief actors in the infamous transaction. While in the earlier periods of his manhood Jackson was somewhat wild and fond of sport,, his wildness was such that It brought with it no dis honor, and left behind no stain of moral obliquity. But that ' season passed away and after that his life, measured by the strictest . standard of morality and religion, was without re proach. The closing years of his life furnished a striking rebuke to his co religionists, who, when he needed their countenance and support, in ft iust and righteous cause, had stood AHMnv 4-Y a a11ahtami mnmiMAtt UUVUgBit WC AUUUrTClB Ul AAA A AAA AAAVTAS) and in the front ranks of his detainers. While he was never a demagogue, he was essentially a man of the people. It was with him a cardinal principle that they (the great body of the people) the bulwark of the nation and the producers of its wealth, had as good, if not a better title to the fostering care of the government than, the bankers, brokers and various classes who ma nipulate that wealth. The instincts of his nature and his social relations combined to make him a gentleman, as well as a patriot. He was a man pf limited education, and not deeply versed in the lore of state craft. But his stern patriotism, his chivalrous character, and his great military achievements stood out in bold relief. They were somewhat tangible to the public mind. And in 1828 he was triumphantly elected to the Presidency over the most thoroughly educated statesman in America. In his administration the constitution and laws and the welfare of the people were guard ed with a zealous care. Foreign pow ers were compelled to respect our national rights. The Government debt was extinguished, and a surplus of some $40,000,000 of revenue aecumu lated in the Treasury. Well might he say, on retiring from the Executive chair, that he "left his country pros perous and happy." And well might we unite in doing honors to the memory of a man, who did so well and so much to advance the welfare, the honor, and glory of the Republic. His name will live forever, enshrined in the gratitude and admiration of his countrymen. Now, my friensd, I think I have talked about long enough, and you have probably got more than you bar gained for, more at least in quantity as compared with quality. ities of observing the workings of the Bohemian Oat Associations, promptly denounced the business as an "infsrs&l swindle."

He did not care to and would not say that they had gone ix.tr the enterprise from any other tita honest motives, but said that he would advise every man who had gone Ii;to it to get out as soon as he eouli, honorably.

' The question box at the Farmers' Institute on Friday afternoon M as not the least interesting part of the programme for that day. Many pertinent questions relating to horticulture, ag riculture and other branches of husbandry were put in the box and an swered by either Mr. Brown or Mr. Chamberlain. Among other questions was the following : At tne present time tnere are oper ating in this county no less than four Bohemian oat associations. They sell tnis variety oi oats to farmers at the rate of $10 per bushel ; they agree also and contract to sell next year, at the same price, for those who buy of them this year, an equivalent and in some instances aouoie tne number of bush els sold now at a commission of 25 per cent, uan tnis tie a legitimate and honest enterprise ?

In these they deserve to take a high rank. and through the united works of m&'ions, the American continent is fast bentj transformed from its untamed state and being placed on an equality with the older continents beyond the ocean. The Amer ican people arc fast, under these influences developing into a nervous, energetic race, remarkable for its vim and business quali-' fications ; yet there ia danger that ia the course of years these very elements may combine to the ruination of the physical character of the people, and leave thcra feeble and altogether different from their forefathers. General debility is now much more common than formerly, and seems to be on the increase among the masses. Many remedies have been extensively advertised for this wide-spread complaint, but none of these have been so successful or met with such general favor as, the remedy manufactured by Dr. S. B. Hart-man, and named by him Paaux.. Mr. S S. Goudjr, of Massillon, Stark county, Ohio, writes: That he has been troubled with general debility and djspep--cia for several years ; that he was induced to try Pkruka for his complaints, and that after using three bottles of the medicine he was greatly relieved. It braced him right up and gave him energy, anJ restored him to his youthful vigor, lie ascribes his cure to Pskuna, and says it is a wonderful remedy. Adolph Bakhaus &Co., Springfield, writes : We are having a good sale for Peruxa. It sella as well as any medicine we have, and gives the very best satisfaction."Mrs. G. W. Necdhara, Newtonvflle, Clermont Countv, Ohio, says: " I have been a great sufferer for the last six or seven years, with general debility and change of life. I was very much reduced. I have taken four bottles of Paauw a. which has restored me to perfect health and strength. We think l'liUUJfA a ste and grand medicine."
