THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN , On imtional Sssuos this county is re publican by from 800 to 1,000 me jority. On local issued the margin i very closo. Two years ngo the count wna given over to the democrats b tlin folly of the republican cotiventio in duliberrttily insulting a largo olc mont of the party by donyinu thci voice or vote in the * convonlio throiiQli delegates that had bee olectcd by an overwhelming majoritj Last year the primaries were packo by bummers ami politicnl nhystcrn i the interest of corporate monopol and 1,200 republicans refused to giv sanction or countenance to th high handed proceeding. Althotig flovcml hundred dnmocraln wer liberally bought up by the corporalio henchmen the outcome was the de-fun of the mnjor part of the HO call ei republicnn county ticket. Unlosa the republicans of this cnun ty ] iroflt by the Icsxons of thcno twi campaigns thoynro doomed to simila disaster this fall , The pcoplo of Doug las county are determined to linv honest nml competent county ofiiccr.i and in making iheir choice party tie weigh very lightly upon them. Al things being equal republicans wil give prcfiTonco to candidates on tin republican ticket but they will insis ai primary elections shall irt bt packed by repeaters , non-resident ! and democrats. The preliminary movements of the republican countj committee , wo are sorry t ( notice , teem to bo designed signed moro in the interest ol certain political wire pullers who de < airo to represent this county in the state convo'.tion ' . trail with a view tn electing the republican county ticket. The meeting of thccomnuttco appears tohavo boon purposely delayed and the least possible publicity has been giron to the call for the primaries. In fact very few republicans outside of the reorganized postal ringwithPaul Van- deavoort at the head and Tom Hall at the tail , nro nwnro that the primaries have been called. Not content with filling lucrative positions in the public service within the gift of the republican party , these political birnnclcs seek to monopolize political honors in conventions , and control the action of the party in the bestowal of local ollices. They may succeed in packing the primaries and conventions ) but it is safe to predict that their niiccess moans inevitable disaster to the republican ticket at the fall election. THE GOVERNMENT SURPLUS , While other nations are racking their brains ia devising schemes to moot their cu-ront expenditures and pay the interest on their bonded in debtedness , the United States finds a. revenue steadily flowing in to its coffers , which is some eight millions n month moro than the ordinary expenditures ] f the government. This condition if affairs presents a perplexing prob lem for this solution of the treasury Jopartmont. Wo are paying off our loot at the rate of $50,000,000 a year , jotli principal and interest dcoroas- ng in a rapidly inoroaiing ratio. Competent financiers state tha at the present rate the whole of the ixtondod bonds could bo oxtinguishoc in ton years end with the increase o ovonuo fnoiu customs and interim rovonua the whole bonded deb ivnh the exception of the four per : onts , wh'ch ' nro not payable unti L007 , could bo cancelled. Tliuro is a general feeling that the ) urdon of extinguishing the nationa lobt should not bo entirely berne by ; ho present o/enouation. Financially va have done handsomely for poster ty. Our * credit has been placet imonjf the highest ; n moderate axation will bo ample to provide or the expenditures of the govern- nont , the meeting of its intercut obli- ; aUonsnnd a steady decrease of the > rincpal. ! It ia necessary that having undo these provision the country hould enquire what cfToct sucli toady drain upon its resources is like- y to Imvo upon its prosperity. This vust surplus of nearly § 100- iO",000 yearly cannot bo allowed' to ccumulato in the vaults of the trcas- iry department. The taking of such sum from the circulation of the ountry will in itself inevitably istnrb the regular and leglti- nito trans'iotion of the busi- ess community mid seriously utorforo with the money market. Vhoii the power of the government i put forth to drain the country of nonoy beyond current necessities the i-holo business world feels the ufloct. i'wo courses only remain open to the ticrctary of the treasury , Hither au qiiivalent amount of bonds inust bo iiirohasedor the surplus mint be used- u the calling in of bonds to the mount on hand. Secretary Windom risoly chosotho latter coureo , andhivs 'called ' in" $20,000,000 of the ox- jndod : U per cents , thus throw- ig that nmount of money into the mrkot and relieving a Btringenoy hichmight othorwi&u liavo been an- cipatod. Buoh expedients are how- vcr , only temporary in character , ongrcss will doubtless bu called upon > provide moans looking tu the relief : the people. There will undoubt- lly bo a growing demand for a rcduo- on of taxation , direct and indirect , lie extreme protectionists uro already mianding the abolition of various in ternal rovcnun taxes and advocates t lii li direct tax on tobaccos and liquru nro urging n redaction of the cusloi dues and n rigid revision of the iaril The banks nro clmnorin for the repeal of tlio taxes on ban capital , on deposits of brink nnd the stamp tax on check : The match manufacturers point to th injustice of tlio tax on matches , and number of other claimants are cryin for like rolicf. Hut with all these appeal * hccdcil the revenue would bo but slightly d ! mlninhcd and the problem unsolved Mcauirci must bo taken to rcduc m.itorially the enormous rovcnti which is now taken from the earning of the pcoplo , nnd which can no long cr bo justified by th necessities o the government. In our proapcrit ; the burden is not felt , but it ia non the less an inexcusable b jrdun. tests the resources of tin largo journals so inuuhnB nn extraordinary inary occasion like that througl which the country has just passed A hundred calls are made upon tin rcscrvo forces of the cstablishmon which must bo promptly and efficient ly met in order to furnish the publn with the fullest and latest newH avail able. During the past week the rcc ords of the telegraph olilco show thai TUP BEB lias received and prin et double the amount of press re port furnished by the Rtpiiblicai and Iferuld.

Ita local columns havo'kopl ' ho public informed of every item ol mbtio interest occurring in our citj and has forced its enterprising con < omporarics to copy , often verbatim , ho full and detailed accounts of ts city dopartmont. That tlio ro' ult of these efforts has been appreciated by a public which refuses o bo gulled by stale tolotrami scis- orod from antiquated eastern journals or stolen from the colnmna of TJIJ : JKK , is manifested by the largo odors or extra copies of this paper which mvo como from all portions of the tate.

Certain newspapers which either ergot or were iMiiiblo for mechanical oasonsto < go into mourning for the oad president , liavo attacked the vholo practioo as a violation of good lasto. Information on points of taste will scarcely bo looked for in such [ juartora. It ia sufficient to say that tlio custom is almost universal.

They liavo not exacted tin iropor standard or education in the acuity , and they have not enforced iropor discipline in the institution , 'rofcssional mountebanks Imvi icon foisted upon the university a eminent instructors on exact sci- nccs , and these impostors have beoi llowod to roam about the country on Dcturing and junketing tours nt the xpunso of the state. What the uni- orsity needs In moro energetic and ixacting siiporvialon , and that can nly bo had by a reoigaiiixalion of ho board of regents. As the domi- ant party the republicans are justly old responsible for the management f our statn institutions and the par- y can only rectify its past blunders y nominating able and oncrgo ie men jr the board of regents , IT is rumored that Dijlrict Attor- oy Geo. Bliss remarked last week tone no of his friends that President Ar- uir considers that ho has paid Mr 'onklSng ' all ho over owed him , nnd i the future would refuse his dicta- on. There is much truth in the first wtion of the remark , Mr. ConkHm- irtninly owed as much to Mr. Ar- mr in the control of New York ro- nblicans as Mr , Arthur owed to Mr. unkling on lib appointment to the New York collcctorship. For a nuni bcr of yearn past Mr. Conkling al forded Jio assistance to Mr. Aithui and the vice president entirely clcare ofl old EcorcH liy liis fruitless cfFort on his behalf at Albany. The cour try would be greatly relieved if it fcl certain that the baneful influence c Mr. Conk ling was no more to bo fel in national politics , and the new prc ; idcntM \ \ too long felt the uopuln pulflo not , to know the fact nnd profi accordingly.

Fron tlio statistics furnished by the burcni it appears that the potato crop fall one-fifth below that of last year.

THE political attorney of the Unioi Pacifio is playing a very deep ganu just now.

TboMlnnisulppi Rtvor Convention Nc Ortaii9 ! Dumocrot , Mayor B. T. Haired , a member ol the Mississippi river convention , re turned yesterday from St. Louis , wliero ho had been to attend a meet ing of the commission. Ho reports favorable progress in the preparation of the plant at Lake Providence- Plum Point , the points on the river which liavo peon selected to besin the system of improvement adopted by the commission and fully explained in the able report submitted to congress hist year. Several tugs have been procured , eighty barges for transport ing stone , brush , etc. , and four pow erful hydraulic pumps to be used in grading the banks so as to prepare them forsecuiingtho brush mattresses which will bo made precisely similar to those which liavo given such excel lent results upon the Missouri river. The pumps liavo n capacity of two thousand gallons per minute , and this tremendous power will cause the bunko to disappear with wonderful rapidity , reducing them to the re quired grade in short order and great ly facilitate the work. The brush mattresses are to bo made on a very extensive scale , and will bo woven together with wire , forming a sort of thick carpet which will effectually protect the banks from tlio erosive notion of the current by arresting tho'sodimcnt and building now and stable banks. The entire plant has bern ordered to report at its destination at the earliest practica ble moment , and early in October , therefore , the great woik of improv ing the Mississippi river , upon the plan of concentrating its waters , as advocated by Captain Eads and his as sociates on the commission ibo \ \ practically begun. If the next congress shall evince a proper appreciation of the importance of the river to the Mississippi valley mid the country at large , wo will soon witness the improvements carried on upon a scale commensurate with the vast interests involved. , IOWA BOILED DOWN.

HIS BIRTH PLACE. Incidents of His Enrly Llfo ns Ro Ifttcil by His Mont Intimate Frlond-IH Birthplnco. Corro ixiiiacnca Ctcvc'aml ' l-oid > r. OUANOK , Sept. 22. Here , nt th birth-place of Garfield , what memor ies sweep over us when wo recall th scenes of his biith and boyhood ! Oi the place where stood the log hut ii which ho first saw the light is n poll floating a flag at halt-mast. Tlio oh log house is uono , the Iramo housi that succeeded it is gone , nnd now ul that marks the spot where James A Garfield was born , fifty years ace , i : a whitewood polo rising from tlu green field , All around are the nro vc ! and fields in which the farmer's bo ] began that noble history which ii ended so abruptly , so cruelly. Hero ho was lorn , hole ho workct in the field by day and studied bj ni ht ; hero stood tlio loc school houst where ho first attended .school. It i ; gone now , and a brick ono stands in .its place , but it will never bo forgot ten , for "Garfield went there first tc school. " THE PIlinXD OK HIS BOYHOOD. Next to the field in which the na tional colors now sadly wave is thu farm of Mr. Henry Uoynton , Garfield's cousin , and a brother ot Dr. JJoynton. Ho was moro than a cousin. While their mothers were sisters nnd their fathers half-brothers , there was an other tie that bound them moro close ly than the bonds of kindship. Amos iJoynton WOP all to Gariield that a father could bo after the death of his father , when James was but over a year of ago. Henry 'Boynton ' and James A. Garfield wcro all to each other that brothers could be. Mr. Boynton was found at his home yesterday afternoon , and although much affected by the tragic death of the loved companion of his boyhood , scorned to bo pleased to relate inci dents of his early lifo. Mr. Boynton said : James and I were constant companions from the time that ho was old enough to talk , down to the time that ho wont into active political life. I know , perhaps , moro of his boyhood and early man hood than any other person. In our boyhood we were * aid to bear a strik ing resemblance to each othor. HIS EAllLY LIFE. James was always noted from his earliest childhood for his desire to bo the leader in whatever ho undertook. At school ho was novcr satisfied to have another boy ahead of him , but would strain every nerve to overtake and pass ono who seemed to have the advantage of him , and always suc ceeded in doing so. Ho always managed - aged to bp the leader , in every circle , whether it was social , intellectual o : moral. Ho first wont to school at th little log , school house which stoo where you now see yonder brie Bchool building. Ho then workoi mornings and nights and attendoi school through the day. Ona littli incident I never shall forget. Then was a spoiling match in the little jchool house in which James , who was tnirteon years old , took part. Tin teacher told her.scholars that if an ; , " whispered she would send thorn homo" Iha lad standing next to James bo jamo confused , and to help him James told him how to spell his word L'ho teacher saw this .and said "James , you know the rule. Yoi uust go home. " James picked up his cap and left In n , very few seconds ho returned tin : ook his placu in the class. "Why , how is this , James ? I tel , 'ou to go homo , " said his teacher. "I know it , and went home , " said Fames. UKOINNINO AS A I'MIM HAND. ( When fourteen years old ho began vorking as n farm laborer for Mr. Janiol Morse , who lived near here , iVliilo working hero , he ono eveiiinj enuiincd in the sitting room to listei o the conversation of a young go'itle nan wiio had railed on Miss Morse diss Morse observing him , told hin t was time for servants to go to bed , L'his galled hi ] sensitive feelings , and ho next day ho left there , tellintr mo hat soiiio day ho would show then Hat he was not to bo looked dowi. ipon. OX THE CANAL. Ho now wont to work on the canal , 'ith Captain Lotcher for u master , loon after starting at this work ho shipped the burly Irishman. Murphy , s you liavo heard many times , J aup- ose. An incident occurred ono nii > ht 'hich ' showed his innate love ofjn.s- ice. Ono night when approaching a jck ho was culled on by the captain > help fight the crow of another boat hich had reached tlm lock at nearly ! io same time for the first use of it. "Who has the right toil ? " asked uiiics , as ho prepared for ao1 ion. "Well , J guess they liavo , but wo ui lick them and got it , " said tlio iptain , James drew on hia coat again , nnd lid : "No , sir ; I won't help if it justly lilonga to them. " Ho staid on the canal but a short me , as ho KulFeruU ; v severe attack of vor nnd ague , which obliged him to iturn homo. All winter ho stayed homo , shaking with agno chills , but inlying all the timo. Between his lills ho would go over to the school IUSQ and recite , and at the end of 0 term stood ut the head of the class. 1 the spring ho intended to return to n canal , but by the arguments and Ivicc of Mr. Bates , his teacher , was irsuadod to civo up this idea and at- nd school TUB TUUNINO 1'OINT. Ho had always been a great lovorof ioks , and Mr. Bates , who was about return to Cheater to finish his urso at Goauga seminary , induced lines to accompany him. This was obab'y the turning point in his reor , and great credit is duo to Mr. ites for the sound advice ho gave. James A. Qarfiold attended uchool at Chester two years. The secon year ho and I roomed together. W cooked our own simple meals of con meal and pork and managed to Hv comfortably on a dollar a week. S.it unlays wo would shoulder our axe and go into the woods to chop.
