FALL,GooDs The mammoth establish
ment of j. Villas & Co., is Just in receipt
of large invoice of goods from the East

which is one of the most reliable and best
known in Northeastern Wisconsin, needs
no words of commendation from US. By
their liberality, enterprise, and honorable
manner of doing business they have built
up an extensive and constantly increasing
trade, and they now offer advantages to
their patrons which the public will not be
slow to appreciate. Don't take one word
for this, however, but call and see for your

Does ULYSSES Get Drurki

The Manchester New Hampshire)
Union, Republican paper, publishes
the following letter from correspondent
in Washington, of whose integrity and
reliability it speaks in the most positive
terms:
"The fortunes of General Grant have
lately received sudden and severe check
in the estimation of large numbers who
were inclined to sustain him for the Presi-
dency. The feeling is not altogether
confined to the temperance organization
here (which is very large and influential
among citizens not politcians), but ex-
tends to others, both drinkers and absti-
nent persons.
"Rumors have been floating about for
a considerable time past, much to the re.
gret of most men, that General Grant
had resumed the habits which, when in
dulged in, have told against him, and
severely, all his life, and finally resulted
in his disconnection with the military
service. Subsequently, in the walks of
business he was far from successful. Un-
doubtedly he has sought to control his
passion for strong drink by habitual
smoking. which is stimulant, and also
by driving fast horses at two race courses
near here, and unfortunately, at times,
upon the highways. On one of these
occasions he drove over little boy, who,
however, was not injured so much but
that he recovered. To this end General
Grant contributed by donating.
THE rumors that have prevailed for
some time past, concerning General
Grants hurtful indulgence in liquors and
wines, have heen literally sustained by
fixed facts. He has been repeatedly seen
and noticed in half intoxicated condi-
ton in the street cars and on the avenue.
But on Sunday last the thing reached its
elimination. At about ten o'clock in
the morning he was staggering along In
the lower part of the city, and at about
five in the evening was seen by hundreds
as they were coming out of St. Matthews
Church, at the West End. He was ac-
companied, as is supposed by the look
ers on, by General Dent, his father-in-
law, and the General was in so bad
way that be could hardly keep his legs in
trying to make headway.
"What / have stated about General
Grant is literally true"

The Case Of Virginia vs.. West Virginia.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Raltimnra Gnrefkk writes as folloMa:

Baltimore Gazette writes as follows:
The case of Virginia vs.. West Virginia,
which has been before the Supreme Court
for adjudication, has placed the Court in
a predicament new TO the history OF
jurisprudence. Virginia sued for the
counties Of Berkeley and Jefferson, setting
up her title to the same. West Virginia
fled demurrer, and the case was argued
and submitted to the court. Chief Justice
Chase announced that the Court stood
equally divided on the whole case; and,
further, were equally divided on the
question as TO what order should be
made in the case. Chief Justice Chase,
and Justices Grier, Swayne and Miller,
we're for sustaining the demurrer, while
Justices Nelson, Clifford, Davis and
Field we're for overruling ii. Thus,
under the rule, the party holding the
affirmative lost the case; but the second
important question sprang up which
party held the Affirmative.
Chase and his party insisted that Viz
ginia must lose the counties as she COM
menced the suit and held the affirmative,
while Nelson and the judges who argued
Win uihu Ou tuo utob HucohiOu
that West Virginia, having entered the
demurrer, had assumed the affirmative
side of the issue, and the court being
divided the demurrer fell, and with it the
claims Of West Virginia. Being thus
divided on the proper order to be made
by the court, no order can be made until
the court is changed by death or other
wise.
The claim of Virginia to these two
rich and populous counties is based upon
the fact that, after agreeing to their ces-
sion to West Virginia, her consent was
withdrawn before Congress had acted in
the matter and approved the cession.
This was the main position of Virginia,
and to this position West Virginia de-
murred Whether West Virginia was or
was not State did not enter into the
consideration of the court. 1t is a po-
litical question which the court prefers
to consider as already settled, and would
be dangerous to reopen in these revolu-
tionary times.
