Now that our citizens have tried the Ncol-

over all Others in point Of comfort and clesnli-

the Fifth avenue, may be paved with it from

been thus paved, has been q resort for car

Annual Meeting of the Society Of the
Army Of the Tennessee.
There will be very brilliant assemblage AT
st. Louis during tomorrow aud the next day,
OF men whom the nation delights to honor,
the list including such names as those OF Grant
and Sherman. A our readers have probably
noted, some OF the famous armies Of the war
keep up in civil life sort Of social organiza-
ton through the officers. and meet from time
to time to eat good dinners and hear speeches
Of various qualities. II is the Army OF the
Tennessee that keeps up this agreeable for
mality in the present instance. General Raw
Inns occupies distinguished position 10 this
organization and is down for the first class
grafton; and General Rawins bears peculiar
relations to General Grant, being, as II would
seem from some recent events, not only Grants
chief Of staff, but an authorized exponent OF
the hero's opinions. Rawlins' speech, there

IL tights Of Railroads Of Other states IN tho
City Of New York.
The Pennsylvania Central and New York
and Erie Railroads recently applied for a man
damus from the Supreme Court TO compel the
Commissioners of Emigration to admit their
agents to sell emigraut tickets in Castle
Garden, they having been excluded therefrom
by the Commissioners. Judge Barnard yes
terday decided against the application of the
former Of these roads, on the ground that as a
corporation formed under the laws OF another
State il is prohibited by q law Of this State
from selling any tickets in New York.
The law in question, although in existence
on the statute book, has been regarded as
dead letter" law. II enforced, it prevents
any railroads not Incorporated under the laws
of New York from opening any Offices or SELL
ing any tickets in this State under heavy
penalty for each offence. II shuts up the
offices of the Allentown line, the New jersey
roads, the Pennsylvania Central, the Great
Western, and, in fact, Of every railroad char
tered in any other State OF the Union, and
gives monopoly OF ticket selling TO the New
York State lines. The Allentown line now
doing business in Castle Garden by special
favor, must, Of course, be elected therefrom,
as every ticket sold there over that line is
violation of the law whose enforcement the
Commissioners themselves have invoked, aud
subjects the seller to q penalty. The law is
especially hard upon the emigrant, who IS
almost compelled to buy his ticket in Castle
Garden, and is thus confined to lines of travel
which may take him many miles out of bis
way as well as largely increase the expense
OF his journey.
The law is an absurd one. injurious TO the
interests Of the city, harmful TO the emigrant
and profitable only to the New York railroad
corporations. II will no doubt be promptly
repealed by the State Legislature. Its en-
forcemcnt will probably occasion one Of the
greatest railroad wars ever known in this city,
as the Pennsylvania Central Is powerful cor
poration, and will no doubt cut down its emf
grant fares to a merely nominal rate. This
will compel a similar reduction on the part OF
the New York and other contesting trunk
lines, As the Commissioners Of Emigration, I'M
less entirely needless of the interests of the
emigrants, will be compelled to suffer them to
travel by the cheapest routes to their destua-
lions. In the meantime these railroad squab-
bies, and the singular mixing up Of the Com
missioners Of Emigration with them, will no
doubt attract the attention Of Congress and
induce the general government TO take the
business Of protecting the emigrauss wholly
into its own hands. 1. ~~~-.

oligarchy and the lsboring classes. II Is .
question whether the people will suffer their
debt to be enlarged and their taxes TO be
heavily increased. for the purpose Of pouring
gold into the Golfers OF the banks and other
holders Of United States bonds, while
the workingmen are compelled TO accept
their hard-earned wages In paper money.
Nearly oil that remains Of the old demo-
cratic party proper exists in the city OF New
York, and its leaders within the Tammany
organization are among the fortunate men who
are interested in national banks and holders OF
gold-bearing bonds. Their old intrigues and
associations with the republicans enabled them
TO lay their hands upon the government securi-
ties, during the war, at forty cents on the
dollar, and they now unite with republicans in
the desire to secure the payment Of the face OF
their bonds in gold at forty or forty'fiye per
cent premium, as well rs to draw their interest
for years in coin. In the last Democratic State
Convention, which has been apty styled
bondhoders' Caucus the Tammany leaders
prevented any open expression of opinion
against paying gold to the banker and bond
holder and paper to the workingman. They
could not deter the people Of the State from
voting against the radical Chase party Oh
that issue, but they now put forward John 1.
Hoffman as their representative man, under
whose administration ~ Mayor the taxation OF
the city has risen to twenty -four million dollars
and who is the champion of the moneyed OH
garcby They claim for him the support OF all
the national banks and bondholders who desire
to draw gold out Of the government. and to
fasten additional burdens upon the people in
order to pay the premium OF forty or fifty per
cent. They call upon the Shylocks whose
policy is overreaching themselves to support
the Tammany ticket az the ticket they can rely
upon for their "pound Of fesh," even though
it may cut into the vitsls of the nation.
II remains to be seen whether they will sue
coed The great revolution which has so re.
Gently swept over the States was the first rebel
lion of the masses against policy that pours
wealth into the pockets of the rich and heaps
burdens upon the poor; that gives the bond
holder his principal and interest in coin and
compels the working man to accept paper money
for his labor It will be strange If the city of
New York, with its eighty thousand voters
among the labOring classes, should suffer such
4 revolution to go backwards.

The Irish.

In tory speech, in the British Par
lament lately, was said
"Behold the Irish ofAmerica cling
ing to laws, systems and institutions
of oppression, and see them voting
with e party of life long devotion to
tyranny, the like unto which is I'M
known in all Europe. Does the Irish
man desire Irish emancipation and
ballot for his people? Then why does
he withhold it from the freedmen in
America! He is then surely dishon.
est in claiming freedom for his people
in Ireland and denying it to a sorer
oppressed people in America. The
Irishman is unfit for the enjoyment
of his own freedom, and must remain
so till he can yield liberty to the ut
termost OF the human kind-the black
man. He is the victim of passion
and so wrapt up in hatred to the me-
gro as to sacrifice his own rights
rather than deal justly toward peo-
pie equally the hewers of wood with
himself. Is the government then safe
in such hands? 1t never can be-"
In times gono by the above surely
applied well to our Irish friends, but
we answer for it not another Irish
man in this broad America will ever
again vote against allowing the black
man to vote. There is to be a new
heaven and earth so far as the Irish
habit of voting with the democratic
party for slavery is concerned.

nothing therein to justify their opin-
ion. Indeed, the history of Mexico
does not support this idea of the abo,

most honorable, honest and patriotic
of the chiefs who have figured in the

Juarez is the only pure civilian
who has ever been able to maintain
himself in power in Mexico during a

fession, was elevated to the Chief

President succeeded, under the Con
stitution Of Mexico, to that position
shortly before the beginning of the
French intervention. At the expir>
alton of his term as President heheld

in that office by the popular vote.-
Through all the trying scenes and

harmony among the turbulent cbiefs
of the Liberal army, and to disarm
the jealousy and fierce rivalry which
seems to be chronic among them to,

Benito Juarez's life resembles, in
it's leading incidents, that of our own
President he was born on the Isl
~thmus of TehQantepec, of Indian par
ents, and managed, when quite boy,
to get some mental employment in
store in the city Of Oaxaca, whore he
learned to read, and manifesting
great ardor for learning, his liberal
and sagacious employer, a wealthy
merchant of Oaxaca, sent him to col
lege, where he devoted himself with
such assiduity and ambition that he
soon became the first scholar in the
college, and graduated with the high
est honors. Returning to Oaxaca, he
married the daughter of his employ
er, and removing to the City of Mex
leo, commenced the practice of law,
and soon secured large andlucrative
business. after some years of great
professional success, he finally attain
ed the highest judicial position in the
country before he had reached mid
die age, His after career in public
life, into which he was drawn by
events and not by his own will and
ambition. is already known to our
readers.
Juarez is small man, with all the
physical characteristics of the abo-
rhymes; of mind, gentlemanly and
kind manners, and by no means
harsh, cruel or yindictive. Whether,
however, he has the power and sense
of security in his position, that will
enable him to curb the turbulence of
his followers, remains to be proved.

Mapof Grant Oounty-A Personal Issue.

Mr.. CovER:-As the notice of Mr..
J. Wilson, Jr., which appeared inyour
last issue is probably meant for map
makers, and that being our special
business, we desire to say to Mr.. Will
son and the public respectfully, that,
not knowing that any person had or
could possess the exclusive right to
make maps of Grant County, and af-
ter consulting with the County Board,
County officers, and many more of
the most prominent and intelligent
citizens of this county, we ascertain
ed that a new, large and comprehen-
sive map of Grant county, showing
the exact location of each farm resi-
dence, road, mill, factory, &C., &C.,
throughout the entire county was
very desirable and really necessary
and believing we could mako just
such a map, we commenced the work
by making an actual survey Of each
township, and have been thus engag,
ed since about the 1st of June last
We claim no protection from any
act of Con gress, but sl.all depend en-
tirely upon the real merits of our map
to secure the patronage of the citizens
of Grant County, hoping and beliey-
ing that we shall infrin ge upon no
persons rights or privileges.

The Triaer.

Trifiing is ranked among the venial
faults. But if time be one grand tai
ent given US in order TO our securing
eternal life; if we trifle away that
time so as to lose that eternal life, on
which by not trifing we might have
laid hold, then will it answer the end
of sin. A life devoted to trifes, not
only takes away the inclination, but
the capacity forfor higher pursuits
The truths OF Christianity have scarce
ly more influence on a frivolous than
on a profligate character. If the mind
be so absorbed, not merely with what
is vicious, but with what is useless, as
to be thoroughly disinclined to the
activities of life Of piety, it matters
little what the cause is which so dis
inclines it. If these habits can not be
accused of great moral evil, yet it ar
CUES low state Of mind that a being
who has an eternity at stake, can thus
abandon itself to trivial pursuits. ii
the great concern of life can not be
secured without habitual watehful
ness, how is it TO be secured by habit
ugl carelessness. twill afford little
comfort to the trifer when at the last
reckoning be gives in his long mega
tive catalogue, that the more ostensi
bic offender was worse employed
The trifer will not be weighed in the
scale with the profiigate, but in the
belance of the sanctuary.-Hannal

It's use to be punished except where
excuses are committed, and where it

be had. The importation and manu-
facture ofalcoholic beverages being q
source Of large revenue, it manifestly
ought to be the duty of the general
government TO protect the people as
far as possible against the introduce
ton of poison into their daily drink.
Still more imperative is the obligation
to shield the sick from the peril OF bes

ticles. instead of being taxed, should
be destroyed. Every tincturo and

contain alcohol should be examined
by competent scientific men, and not
allowed to go into market until its
purity has been authorfTlvely certi-
fled.

munity should be paramount to the
financial interests Of the government

first step for the Southern people to

injury now by obstructing the settle

merely as so much political capitol,
and are no true friends. But whether
friend or foe, they have no power,
and are perpetual nuisance. We
have got to make terms with the Re,

years. Now let us in pnblic meet~

CICERO XANTIPPE, BETSY ANN AND
ALL THE REST OF THE FAMILY.-We
fell in during a chance journey of
ours, few months ago, with an old
Kansas man, who had moved with
his numerous family from Var.
mount" to the western wilds. 1t
being late, we tarried with him all
night We were surprised at the
progeny which he owned. One was
named Demosthenes, another Cicero,
another Pericles, another Phidias
and another Praxiteles. Still anoth.
or was named Apollo Belvidirus, and
he, as he told us, was the "humblest
one of the lot" and sure enough he
was a craggy looking specimen. These
were the boys. The girls came in
with such names as Aspasia, Phryme,
Melpomeno, Xantippe, Messalina,
Cleopatra, Agrippina, and the last
was named Betsey Ann. We asked
the old man why he happened to give
the children such unusual names, and
indeed we were astonished at the ex.
tent of what seemed to be classical
learning He informed us that ii
happened like this "A Snowman
same along with wax figures on ex-
hibition, and the names on the fig
ures were SO mice" that he "writ
them down. and named his children
according to the list afterward. ;
"But how came it," we inquired, "that
you named one of your girls Betsy
Ann ?" swell" he replied, "the wax
figures run out, and | had to fal
back and do the best | could out O
my own head" Hurrah for Var.
mount.
