the following account Of a Wis

Grant: Senator Stewart said
he came to know how Gen.
Grant stood Oh the Constitu.

that he understood the amend

bound to see this conclusion
realized. This statement, he
desired all the gentlemen pres

put his hat on and went off in
great good humor, saying at

WE are sorry to see the good
feeling which has existed be-
tween the editors oil this Sec
lion Of the State interrupted
By the unpleasant difficulty
between Bro. Wilsor, of the
lronton Register, and Bro,
Mackley, of the Jackson Stand
ard. Since the meeting of the
Editorial Union we have felt
a strong personal attachment
for each one of its members,
that could not otherwise have
grown in years, and it has ap-
peared 10 us that we could
discover in the tone OF the pa
pers towards each other a vein
Of kindness, consideration, and
respect that did not before ex~
ist. We felt that the standing
of the Press was elevated
thereby, and it was with deep
regret we read Bro. Wilson's
article rejecting upon the per,
sonal character Of Bro. Mack
ley. We know that our friend
Wilson felt that Bro. Mackley
was pushing him harder than
was courteous, but we thought
the editor of the Register had
been long enough in the busi-
ness to know how to take a
'joke." lie should remember
his remarks upon this subject
before the Union, and then
'let us have peace"

How is RIVE have heard some
thing i'll relation to an occurrence,
happening thousand and one miles
from lama County. The story runs
something in this wise: X was d
poor man, and he had a family. X
was taken sick, and he had for his Ply
stefan DR.. 1-of the city of T.. The
sickness OF u was unto death, and
after his decease, DR.. Y, fearing that
the widow would not be able to liqui-
date his claim for medical services,
filed his bill with the county author-
ties and was paid for his services.
\ short time after this, widow Y,
being entirely ignorant that the claim
OF DR.. V had been paid, goes to the
DIR. and proposes to let him have COW
and calf, the only pieces of property
she had, in liquidation of his claim.
The DR.. assents thereto, aad taxes the
coie and eat, thus securing double pay,
when he at first hardly expected any
Epay. 4s RfS
f. The alleged duplicity Of DR.. Y,
has, at last, come to light, and it is
said that measures are about to be Ia
I.keE to compel the DR.. to disgorge his
ill-gotten pay
We only tel! the tale as twas told
to us. We hope there is no truth in
it.

Wnrs-C Can't we organize lycepm
at Toledo this winter? Does any one
know any good reason why? An at
tempt was made last fall and a Water
loo encountered. We propose that a
q new effort be made to this end. y.
Towns around us, no larger, and not
much more enterprislng than Toledo,
have Lyceum and Lecture Associations
and lectures wherein great intellectual
and social profit is derived. Toledo
has neither. while she ought to have
all. Are the people, the really goa
head people OF Toledo, content to suf
fer this to continue? Are they content
to lie supincly and at ease, and expo
rience such deterioration as inactivity
always entails? This is matter OF i'm
portance and we send out these inter-
rogatories earnestly and seriously.
