they are wholesale dealers in oysters, cheese.
confectionery, nuts, and fruits. all of which
they handle in immense quantities. They have
now on hand, or have shipped this season to
their numerous customers, nearly fifty tons of
cheese. We saw about four tons of candies in
their ware rooms, embracing every kinds
many of them being the very choicest varieties
Their facilities are such that they can afford
their goods at Chicago rates, and dealers
throughout this State, Minnesota and Iowa,
are rapidly availing themselves of the advan-
tages they offer. We are glad to learn Of their
success and prosperity, which are richly deserv-
ed Ehat WATERFOWL needs is more such men
of enterprise, energy aud business ability, to

The statement that General Grant has
caused to be destroyed several bushels
of letters already sent to his beadquar-
tiers, soliciting from him the favor of
appointment TO Office, is calculated to
fill the whole world of politicians with
dismay. The feeling Of intense disap-
pointment will DO Increased when it is
learned that the General has given or
ders that all such applications hereafter
sent to him shall be destroyed when re-
ceivsd. This is truly terrible ; unex-
ampled in our political history, and Of
such q character as to produces wild
confusion among the truly patriotic
who would, from pure motives, be quite
willing to testify their devotion to their
country by serving it in some post OF
responsibility for which the country
would be glad to pay them u liberal
compensation. Heretofore the modui
opsraudi Of obtaining an appointment
to Office was we'll understood. A mod
est request from the anxious party, for
tilted by I" letters" from all the leading
politicians whom he could influence il
his favor, laid the foundation for further
solicitation, which, as the crisis ap
proached, became hotter and heavier
and productive of intense agitation anc
excitement. But General Grant refuses
to receive or to read letters, and by thu
ruthless destruction of those document
already sent to him, some valuable auto
graphs have been lost to collectors.
Evidently, the latter processis doome'
to DO a failure. Some other means o
reaching the mind of his p%rospectiv
Excsllency must DO resorted to. Wha
shall it be 2 It would, in all probability
be dangerous for the anxious party t
present themselves personally to..Gener
al Grant at this early day. A mortify
ing rebuff might follow ; it will b
equally perilous for "sriends' Of tn
parties to try the same experiment
What will not suit in the case Of tn,
applicant, will not be agreeable il per
formed by attorney. Unwillingly, th
idea is forced upon US that Genera
Grant is not to be bored upon this o
any other subject. He intends to man
age the Government in his W way
It will be no recommendation to hir
that John Smith, applicant for the posi-
ton Of Postmaster at Brooks6eld, wa
the first one to file his papers for tina
appointment. How, then, is the after
ton of the new President to be secured
Aye ! there's the rub |! Apparently, b
does not want his attention secured
More's the pity.

PARDos.-The Reese River RsrsiHe OF
the 24tb, says that application for par
don is about to be made to the Board OF
Pardons, at Carson City, in the case Of
VIM. N. Watkins, who killed John R.
Huntsman, at Austin, in 1865, and who
is now iueareeratsd 10 the State Prison
under a sentence of twenty years for
the crime. Tho application for pardon
is made by J. 8. Pitzsr, his counsel.
Tho Rersiie says Of this case
The penalty Of twenty years imprisonment
was deemed slight indeed for so an enormous
offence. Watkins has not served three years
Of the twenty, and an application 10 to be
made for his pardon. ThiS leads one to
think that IL revenge 10 sweet to . civilized
man, its qualification 10 cheap in this State.
Where the punishment Of crime il absolutely
certain, il may BE- restrained in = degree;
where it 10 not, Law becomes costly farce,
which a sensible people should thrust from
them. This appears to be shocking business.
II the prisoner felt conjunction for the saw
age blow which put out the life Of his brother
man /; il he felt that his penalty was slight,
and was willing to endure its last hour (;
it would 90 far to mitigate his asroeious
crime.
