CoUNr BISMARCK ON THE SICK LIsT.-How much

Tho loss Of Napoleon TO Franco or Of Bismarck
TO Prussia would, in present circumstances,
prove, perhaps, quite rs serious to France
aud Prussia respectively as did the loss of
Cavour to Italy. Men rather than measures
are necessary in great crises in countries
where constitutional government is but i'm
perfectly known. Count Cavour has had no
successor in Italy; hence much Of Italy's mis-
fortune. Wo SEQ NO man fitted to take the
place Of either Napoleon or Bismarck; therc-

The debate which is now going on in the
local Parliament Of Nova Scotia shows how
thoroughly bent the people are on breaking
up the New Dominion. The Legislature is
but giving voice to the sentiments universally
prevalent over the colony. Repeal of the
Union act Is the great question Of the hour !;
and it Is being vigorously discussed not only in
Halifax, but wherever Nova scotians are in
the habit OF congregating. The delegation
charged with the prosecution Of the repeal
question in London is expected to sail imme-
diately. ltisapretty little difficulty as 1t stands.
1t was only in June of last year that the Do
minion was ushercd into existence by tho
Queens proclamation and general flourish OF
trumpets. The confederation was to BIO the
foundation Of mighty empire, and was to
occupy, Ia course of time, on the American
Continent the proud position whch.Russia now
occupies on the Continent of Europe. So spake
Lord Carnarvon on tho eve Of the Queens pro-
clamation. These brilliant hopes are not
much encouraged by the state of things now
exsting in Nova Scotia. New Brunswick, we
have been led to believe, is quite as dissatisfied
as Nova Scotia, and Lower Clnada, it is said.
is more dissatisfied than either The Parlia-
ment at Ottawa has hard work before 1t, and
1t remains to be seen whether it shall prove
itself equal to the task. The experiment OF
the confederation or dominion is a grand one.
1t will be watched with interest.

ADMIRAL FARaAGUT AND THE AMERICAN SQUAD
RoN.-Some people are at loss to know what
means this European cruise OF Admiral Farragut
The same people reckon our naval expenses
as so much waste Of money. One answer is
perhaps sufficient for the question and the
objection. II Is right that America, in the
matter Of her navy, should be worthily repre-
sentcd. We need large and efficient naval
force; it is economical that we should have it,
and it is proper that the world should know
something OF it. Our great and growing COM
mercal interests require that our navy should
be adequate to all possible demands. The best
training next to actual fighting is life at sea
and experience in all waters. While the
inhabitants Of European countries are privi-
legged through our ships to behold somewhat Of
the glory of the great republic, we may rest
assured that Admiral Farragut Is possessed Of
too much good sense to compromise our inte-
rests by IN unnecessary display Of sympathy
either for Italians or Crooks. 1t is well that the
world should know something of our greatness,
and il is proper that we should have faith In
our public servants.

PROF. SUTHERLAND.

We had lately read old Mr.. Grants
pieces about his son, the General, and
thought we were pretty we'll posted
about horses, but orr ideas were all up
set OH Monday by visit from Prof.
Sutherland, the great hOrse-tamcr.-
Agrccably TO announcement, he APP
pcarcd III our streets at one clock p. IN.
on Monday, driving his horse attached
to buggy, without lines, traces, or
by aWhip, and weat tire ugh divers ma
ncuvers, which could not be excclled by
our ordinarily trained horses with lines.
He would bring his horse to a sudden
"whoa," from a gallon, and turn him
short around when in full trot. Aft
err some exercises and a short lecture, Il
class of about forty persons was formed
to receive instructions in his system of
handling horses. BY invitation of the
Professor we went III, and must say We
were not only highly entertained but
instructed. The class expected the per-
formances to be humbug to some ex-
tent, but in this they were disappointed.
Prot. Sutherland made good everything
promised in his programme. During
the instructions to the class several
horses were brought in and experiment.
ed oil. One five years old had persist
emily refused to be rode. No one had
ever succeeded in getting upon his back.
In less than ten minutes after Pro.
Sutherland commenced trying his sys-
tenn upon him he got upon the animals
back and rode him with simply rope
in his mouth. Others horses were
cured of bad habits. The instructions
lasted some three hours, and we did not
hear single member OF the class COM
plain of the time and money invested
being inisspcnt. On the contrary, all
seemed highly satisfied. We are salts
fed that in many particulars Prof. Suth-
erland is superior to Mr.. Rarey in his
system of horse tanning. In fact, he
pointed ont several defects in Rarey,s
system.

COAL DISCOVERIES.

Mr.. j. NJ. Coombs, of this place, SUI
perintendent of the Ellsworth Coal
Mining Company, has just received
news from the company's coal mines,
which are situated twenty miles from
Fort Harker and fifteen miles from
Ellsworth City, and but one mile and a
half from the railroad, ON the north
side of a very high bluff. known as Min
eral Hill. The. tnnncl in this mine is
now seventy feet in length, and is being
worked by some very experienced coal
miners, who arc piling the coal UP rap
Idly at its mouth. The vein is more
than three feet in thickness, and is In
crcasing as they work ia. n large shaft
is now being put down. under the Clirec-
ton of AIR. a. Mum, of Lcavcnw ortli,
a member of the company. with every
prospect OF striking q more cxtenivc
bed of coal i'll a few days.
Specimens OF this coal will soon be
sent 10 ali important points on the
Onion Pacific Railroad. Eastern Diyi-
sion, and at once satisfy all that the
great lack of wood for fuel can be sum-
piled Immediately, in any quantity, by
the Ellsworth Coal Mining Company.
This is an important discovery. If
coal is found here we can see no reason
why it may not be found in other narts
of that section of country. 1t is a great
decideratum in that county of scarcity
of timber. Indeed, coal is cheaper any
where than wood On recent visit to
Pennsy lyania, where the mountains are
full of timber, we were surprised to
find that there were no wood fires in
the towns, even for cooking purposes.
If Kansas can save her timber from de-
structioR for fuel, there will be no
trouble in raising sufficient amount of
timber for all other purposes.

THAD. STEVENS FOR GRANT AND

We find the following letter from
Thaddcus Stevens in the Missouri Dem
O'rat. 1t is dated March Goth, and is
addressed to II. j. Houston, Esq. Lam
caster, Pennsylvania, the home of the
illustrious Radical:
Ny DEAR SIR: Ireccived Your letter
OF the Path this morning, and am very
glad that you intend TO be at Chicago
personally. Ii your constituents and
lLine have Indicated preference for
Vice President, as rather think they
have from their vote, / should deem it
your duty as matter of personal fidel-
lty TO begin by voting for that person,
whether he be n friend of mine or not,
as no man seems to me justified in yio-
lating the wishes of his constituents to
please any other person. But il the
person thus indicated as their first
choice should fail of probability of
election, or gradually decline, then, if
consulted, j should use all my efforts in
favor of i. +. Wade. He is true man.
in whom you and I, and every radical
man can confide and YOU will find that
the country, as we'll as our particular
friend, will profit by his success. / wish
YOU would show this letter to your COL
leagues, as shall be kept from the con-
ventiOn, and desire to sec an honest man
placed in the position of great contin-
gent responsibility. AS to the candi-
date for the Presidency, presume you
all agree that none other than General
Grant is to be thought of. Honest, firm,
and we'll indoctrinated in principle.
without ostentation, and without pride,
i do not see how better selection can
be made. His Judgment Of men is so
sound, that j have full faith that he will
cali around him the ablest and purest
men of the nation. With Grant and
Wade to guide and defend ms, this ma
ton in four years will have acquired
prosperity which will be the wonder OF
The world Universal freedom mann
tsined by universal suffrage upon TINS

The committee on Ways and Means
arc still very hard at work. They at
tended the impeachment trial two days,
aud then shut themselves up during the
day and evening in their private room
1T the Treasury department., and went
on with their work. They were SO be-
seigcd by commissioners from various
sections at their rooms in the Capital
that they had to leave. They have
completed their work on whisky, oils,
and tobacco, and are now engaged in
perfccting the remaining features ofthe
bill. When it is finished and printed it
will make book of 250 pages, docu-
ment size. The work of revising the
revenue system has grown on the COM
mittec at every step taken, but the task
is SO far completed as to render it sure
that the committee will be ready to go
to the House with the bill ut any mo-
ment. The bill provides for making a
seperate debt of internal revenue, and
for giving the head of the department
absolute power of the appointment and
removal of all revenue officers, and
hold him responsible for the collection
of the revenue.
