A LETTER written by Governor Andrew
three days before his death closes as follows:
The tendency of the house is toward Grant.
And that is best. 1t is not the ideal good.
1t is bad for the country that he must leave
his present POSTPAID for him, the soldier, to
try and to endure the hard fate which awaits
him in civil life Bntit is the apparently
best practical good the country can have.
And Grant is so square and honest a man
that | believe he is bound to be right in the
main dnylchere.

GETTING ITS DUES.


The charter of the Gettysburg Asylum
sRindIe was repealed and the effects of the
company confseated BY an act ofthe Legis-
lature few days ago. The only wonder to
as Is that such an infamous gambling con-
Germ should ever have received charter
We called attention at the time to the fact
that it was a swindle, designed to cheat uu-
suspecting parties out of their hard earned
money, by bypocritical appeals to their
patriotism. The Washington Library asso-
citation, an institution of the same character,
has recently been shown up and the eyes Of
its innocent dupes opened to the fact that
they have been taken in by set of sharp
ers. The advertisements of these bogus
concerns have been published BY nearly all
our local papers and appeals made through
them to the people. We refused to pub
lish them from the first, believing them to
be as they have turned' out, swindles.
When viii the editors of newspapers acquire
intelligence and honesty enough to refuse
any longer to assist such disreputable con
Germs to defraud their unsuspectiug readers?
1t is time they should learn, if moral con
siderations cannot induce them to refrain
from recommending what they know to be
wrong, illegal and injurious, that their own
pecuniary interests, as identified with the
interests of the community in which they
reside are in the end prejudiced BY such a
course. The newspaper that publishes in
discriminately every vile advertisement for
which it can obtain a few paltry dollars,
win inevitably have a demoralizing effect
upon the community in which it circulates.
and the result viii IN the end be prejudi-
oial to its own best interests

Mr.. THToN, in the L,depeadaat, quoting
the concluding paragraph ofone Of General
Grant letters to the President, wherein he
repcls the assault on his honor as a soldier,
and integrity as man, remarks as follows:
General Grant has driven hi pen through
the President like a spear These closing
words have a ehivalric ring. Their author,
finding that his ''honor as a soldier and
this integrity as man has been violently
assailed, smote his chief assailaut fat
against the cheek, Neither with voice nor
pen tboth of which he uses rarely has
General Grant ever appeared before the
public to greater advantage than 10 the few

If We are to judge OF fool by his folly,
then Andrew johnson needs neither Judge
nor jury to condemn him. The latest exhi-
bition he has made ofhimself is the Donli
nation ofGeneral Sherman to be General by
brevet. As there is neither law, precedent,
nor warrant Of any kind for this action, it is
transparent enough that It's sole inspiration is
a belittleing desire to vent bis petty spite
upon General Grant Such childish exhibi-
tions are looked for from fools and children;
but from President of the United States

THE New HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The
Washington Chronicle of Friday morning
says
The news from New Hampshire is most
satisfactory. Everything has changed for the
better, and no Republican doubts our success
at the election on the 10th Of March. Gen
erals Sickles and Cochrane commenced their
canvass on Wednesday, and they viii be
followed by some Of the ablest Congressional
orators We can imagine the effect of the
iucisive rhetoric aud clca arguments 90 the
mutilated Sickles upon the Democrats Of
other days and the brave boys he led in
battle. As if to complete the good news,
Montgomery Blair is to help the Republicans
Of New Hampshire by speaking for the
Democrats. The logic OF this busy dialec-
tician IS Of the centrifugal order, driving
off from any parry he supports all sensible
and patriotic men.

4 SINGULAR piece Of careless writing
in Nicholas Nickleby' does not appear to
have ever attracted much attention, Nj
cholas, it will be remembered, goes down to
Yorkshire in mid-winter, and the severity
of the weather is such that the coach is
showed up on the way, and at the end Of
the journey the ice is so thick that water is
not obtaInabie IN sufficient quantities Co en-
able Nicholas to give himself wash, who
is, therefore, obliged TO content himself

of the results thereof, the fact that only "a r

A short time since we had occasion to visit
the region of Kaw Bottom, ON business connect
ed with our paper, such as soliciting subscrip-
tions, &c. Even in that land of pure democra-
cy, one comes in contact with few of the truly
''loyal." We remember one in particular, where
we had the good fortune to call. A woman,
with rosy cheeks and eyes to match, and hair
that could make either clay down their hand on
square DEAL" was sitting in the door, who, in
answer to our salution Of "Good morning, mad
am" said
"Hello Goodness, gracious how you skeered
mel thought it was Bob. What do yer
want z"
ave called to know if your husband would
not subscribe for our paper. =
"What kinder polsrticks does it have"
''DeInocratis, madam"
"Well guess it's about as good thing as
you can do TO 90 on.-Bob can't read, and il he
could, he wouldn't take yer paper cause he's
Radercal."
"Woulden't he take it for you and the children
to read"
She arose from the doorstep with that agility
which is so Characteristic with insulted fe-
male, and said:
''DIe and the children, I'd have You to IN
derstand that cum from Iowa, and that folks
in them parts don't have children big enough to
read newspapers when they haint been married
nigh onto six months. That may be all right in
Kansas, but 'twould excite suspicion up in Iowa.
Oh, yer big nasty cuss!'
"Beg pardon, madam, bat really thought
you old enough TO be the mother of family"
slow are you old l amt one minute more
than twenty, and if Bob was here you'd get bust
ed wide OPEN
After some little explanation on our part, she
cooled down, and said that Bob had gone TO To-
peka, Tor the purpose Of getting some whiskey
for the ecue which they had contracted short
ly after marriage, and that they had "shuck and
shuck for three mortal months After bidding
her good day, rode off, we could hear her
sweet voice resounding Though tho trees in the
following song:
Come back 10 me, Bobby, my roses and things

Come back to me, darling, be certain and bring

following sensible paragraph in an article
entitled the Condition Of Trade :"
l, is very evident from the present a..
poet Of things that We have reached q
point At which modification Of the pro-
du.ng and distributing force Of the eommu-
nifty must be effected. A portion Of those now
using their capital or their labor in the dis.
tribat,on Of produ to, that 10 in trading op.
era,ions. must become workers in one
branch or other Of productive industry, e.
pecially in agriculture or mining. This 10
needed in order to increase our supply Of
products which being effected we shsuld
have lower prices and with lower prices
AMI increased consumption. and m en-
Jared and healthier trade. II mar DO that
We shall no, realize this redistribution Of
emplcymen's except through commercial
break down, compelling those engaged in
the less rcmunera,ivc branches 10 seek en-
rloyment in the more prosperous but
that such change must come in az certain
as that trade is controlled by natural laws
The prudent, however, will lose no time in
shaping their affairs by this tendency. The
longer they continue in their present un-
favorable condition the more they will lose;
and the sooner they transplant thsmsslves
TO the more favored employ msnts the
mole they will save.
