The New York 7.i6uns is still after
Grant, and begs to insist that, iu SO far
as he is commended to public favor by
conflicting impressions and exceptions as
to the kind Of reconstruction he favors,
his is fictitious, unreal, delnsive strength,
which the stress and strife Of . presidential
canvass will surely dissipate." After
stating its own ideas Of reconstruction, the
/ Tribune adds: ~
..These be vital truths. You cannot
effectually silence them by the roll Of the
tdrum; and you cannot set them aside by
talking ever so eloquently Of Ft. Donelson,
IVicksLurg, Mission Ridge and Appotomax.
1t will be a grave misfortune If they shall
for time be oyerborne by notions Of
popular gullibility which the rough cxpe.
riences Of q canvass will surely prove
mistaken and fallacious."

HARD TINES IN New ENGLANp.-The
Springfield Republican thus al!udes to the
hard times now pressing the people OF
New England
Scarcity of work, a decline in wages,
thousands out Of employment, and other
thousands earning barely enough to keep
body and soul toge ther-these are some
o. the prevailing facts in the cities and
manufacturing towns, that mark this as a
hard winter, and we fear it will prove
much the hardest since the war commenc-
ed. The skilled artisans, who have been
receiving wages in proportion to the in
creased cost of living for the past six
years, have saved something, and will not
be brought to any actual distress by few
months of idlencss or half work. Not SO
the common day laborers. An inflated
currency made them poorer from the first,
and they have nothing to fall back upon
wien out Of work, in most cases. Hap
PLY, however, there is no general inan-
cial breakdown and suspension of busi-
ness. In some departments of labor there
is temporary pause, in others a contraction
OF both work and wages, but still the large
majority are employed, and are earning a
comfortable subsistence. If congress, by
reducing taxation and the expense Of the
government, by establishing the national
finances on u secure and permanent basis,
and by giving the south an opportunity to
recover itself from the desolation of the
war, shall restore confidence to CONNER
cial circles, we may reasonably expect q
revival of business in tho early spring.

ScANDAL.-A Delaware county paper
says that Rev. A. T. Loring Of Usage,
formerly pastor Of the Congregational
Church at Manchester, has got himself
and two of his flock into trouble. A Dea-
con in his church suspected Mr.. Loring
was too intimate with Mrs. Deacon. He
lately saw Loring enter his-the Deacon's
house, and he concluded to take pri-
vate look at matters and things. Going to
the window he saw his wife and the min
ister's arm about her waist The Deacon
thought this looked little squa.ly, and
concluded to see the thing out. His wife
and the Minister soon entered the bed
room adjoining the parlor, when the Dea-
con could stand it no longer. Rushing
into the room he threatened to shoot them
both unless they confessed Judgment at
once. His wife admitted an intimacy, but
said nothing criminal had passed between
her and Loring. Lorins Withdrew from
the church and has gone to Minnesota
This ia substantially the story rs told by
the Manchester paper, but as stories grow
the farther they 60, we presume this tale
of human weakness has been over-drawn

parties named, and tho good name of the

Peat In Iowa.

Peat I'm Iowa.
DR.. White, Iowa State Geologist, has
shown that there are immense deposits of
Peat in Iowa and Illinois. He has recent
ly announced the discovery of beds in
Muscatine, Linn and Clinton counties, To-
wa. A large bed in Illinois, about seven
miles from Clinton, Iowa, has been work
ed successfully the past season. The peat
sold at seven dollars per ton, while it did
not cost over two dollars. DR.. White has
come to the following conclusions
A ton Of manufactured peat 10 fully equ-
al to cord of hickory wood, and the wood
will average at least fiye dollars cord
throughout the State it costs no more to
manufacture ton Of peat than it does to
manufacture cord Ct stoye wood. 1t. is
considered reasonable estimate that an
acre Of drained peat will produce $50 tons
of dry fuel for every foot in depth. Four
feet Is a moderate depth for an Iowa peat
marsh, and an acre of this will furnish u
thousand tons Of good fuel. worth, as fuel
averages in the State, $4,000, and Of this,
$4,000 is profit to the owner of the marsh,
if he manufacturers it. A hundred acres
Of such marsh--and there are many SIS

mate to put upon the fuel. 1t supplies a
want which would otherwise prevent tho

A MUpDLE.-The radicals have very
pretty muddle on their hands. In 1864,
under Lincoln's policy, convention was
assembled to make Il constitution for
Louisiana. The constitution was made
and adopted. In 1866 the same conven-
ton insisted it had the power to convene
and change or amend the constitution it
had formed in 1864. This power was de-
MED. and the controversy ended in riot
in New Orleans. Throushou. the north
the radicals maintained that the Louisiana
convention was legally constituted body,
having the full powers claimed. The rad
ical congressman at Washington inspired
the re-assembling movement, and were
loudest in denouncing the interference
with the sovereign authority Of the con-
vention. Now they have another conven-
ton, pretending to have authority to make
constitution. Will the radicals tell US
when the authority of the convention Of
1864 and 1866 ceased. If it had power
then by what right is its power transferred
to the convention of 1861? We take the
radicals for authority that the present

German View OF tho Negro.
The opinion given below concerning the
relation Of the black and white races, is
translated from the Anzeiger des Westens,
vf St. Louis:
Immediately after the birth the differ
ence between both races is very little, and
in making abstraction of color, and forma-
ton Of tho body, and in examining only
the utterance OF spiritual life. the differ
ence is almost reduced to nothing. Even
in the latter developement of childhood.
essential differences are scarcely remarka-
to observe the ability to learn; the vivaci-
ty, apprehension, the force of memory
among children Of either Of the two races.
In their external appearance also the diff
fer noes are not very great; certain ele-
gance OF form, certain sprightliness and
dexterity, and a comparatively clearness
of color of skin strikes us the more on be-
holding negro children. as wo are general
~ inclined either hy prejudice or natural
antipathy, to look at them as inferior be-
ings. But in regard to all these things,
VIC discover q most remarkable change ut
the time of puberty: the traits and fea-
tnres Of the negro and the whole form Of
their bodies at once lose the spiritual
stamp, and become Of rough and sensuous
appearance, while from that same period
the white mans face acquires the fullness
of its mental value and grace. The inter-
nal life corresponds with the external ap-
pearance among the negroes, their intel
lectual capacities not only become station
ary, but they even 20 backwards; while
among the whites the mind develops
itself, and acquires its full strength only
after the age Of puberty. It therefore
seems that certain fund Of excess Of vi
tality is inherited in either race, which in
th1juvanile nge is exclusively absorbed
by the formation Of the body and by the
physical and mental growth, becoming
free on arriving nt the puberty. From
that epoch it turns exclusively toward the
developement of the muscle and sexual re-
production with the negroes, whilst with
the other race it fertilizes the blossom and
the fruits of intellectual life, creating
thereby arts, sciences, education and NOR
atty. The faculty Of generalization be-
longs exclusively to the white race !: it is
intimately connected with the age Of pu-
berity. Children do not generalize, Meth.
er does the African at any ago, and yet it
is Just this faculty which il the very con-
dition Of all that which we call progress
and civilization.

Greeley has had considerable experience
and ought to know what he is talking
about. Grants too early advocates, the
Albany Argus remarks in this connection,
have got him into tight place. If they
intended to succeed by ''hurrah," they
ought to have waited, for it will be impos-
aible to kOop up the shrnt from now unsii
November next. The radicals tell Grant
that he is gone if he don't endorse con-.

pretty etfectually warned him that he ia.

high duty. Weed, you know, has polt-
ical mortgage on Gen. Grant, executed at
Tammany, which. if Gen. Grant is elected.
Weed will foreclose, and take charge Of

In addition to the above we may add
that this matter was in the courts, and was
to be tried about the middle of December.
The Company were ready for trial, but Mr..
Slyman was not, and on his own motion
it was postponed, and he, by his counsel,
wrote requesting an opportunity to settle.
This was given, and the result is that Mr..
Slyman discounts his claim Sl;270, or near
lly one half. This approaches about fair
settlement for all his loss, and was the
object desired by the Company in refus-
ing to pay the whole amount, and being
willing to stand law suit.
