BN-The republican currant appears to
be setting in with an irresistible tide in be-
half of the nomination of Grant for. the
Presidency. The N. Y. World thinks it
useless for the democrats to longer oppose
him. The N. Y. Citizen says that if his
nomination is as sure as his election would
be if nominated, we may safely count on
Grant for our next President. The Syra-
cuse Convention last week expressed their
preference warmly and zealously for Gen.
Grant for the Presidency, and Gov. Fenton
for the Vice Presidency. There was not
"a ripple Of opposition in the convention,
even among the most jealous friends %.
Mr.. Chase. Horace Greeley who has been
doing his utmost to build up party for
Chief Justice Chase, gracefully yielded to
the pressure of public sentiment. accept
ing the nomination of Grant as a foregone
conclusion. Two of the delegates at large
to the Chicago Convention-Dan'l e. Sick
les and Lyman Tremaine-are patriots Of
honered reputation far beyond the limits

eW The Agricultural Report gives par
tial returns of sheep killed in the United
States by dogs in one year at 1854, of
which number Wisconsin dogs are guilty
of ll,05l. Perhaps thrice that number
would be nearer the truth, as only forty
one counties are reported. AT the most
moderate figuring, these slain sheep repre-
sent something like 100000 in green
backs. The Commissioner of Agriculture
estimates the aggregate loss of sheep from
dogs at $9,0OO,0 900 for the entire country.
But this is not the worst; far greater
loss results to the productive wealth of the
country by the refusal of farmers to en-
gage in wool growing on account of these
discouraging losses.

VICTOR HUGO ON LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-In a
speech in July, 1861, Victor Hugo gave
.utterance to the following bitter and sar-
castle words against the future Emperor :
'What because after ten years of immense
glory, of glory which appears fabulous
FROM its very greatness, he (Napoleon Bo-
nararte) was obliged from exhaustion to
let fall the sceptre and sword which had
accomplished so many gigantic deeds, do
you Gouis Napoleon) Sish, you, to take
them up in imitation of Charle..'ange, and
grasp in your little hands that seeptre OF
the Titans, that sword Of the gian;ss And
for what purpose? What After an
Augustus must we have an Augustulus? |?
Whist! because we have had a Napoleon
the G,e,t, must we have Napoleon the
Little ?''
But the opposition of Victor Hugo, and
the entire republican party, availed moth
ing. He was too strong for Them The
army was firmly attached to thin, and In
the following Demember he put an end to
all the hopes of his opponents by the coup
d etat. Among the numbers whom this
event drove into cxi,egwas Victor Hugo.
He first fed to Brussels, and thence to
London; but the fogs of the great city
driving him away, he took refuge in the
charming Island of Guernsey, where he
still lives
