Our County society has heretofore

that position was acquired and sus-

the Society has become large iustitu-

From this Statement it will be seen
that the heavy Republican majorities
exist IN two iocalities-in the East
and West. Outside of these seven
States, the majority of that party in
the late contest was only p, ,000 This
view Of the field might excite some
alarm in the ranks of the victorious
party except for the fact that Governor

TT is reported that Horace Greeley
has been offered the Office of Postmas-
ef General in Grants Cabinet, and
will probably accept. General Badeau,
Secretary to General Grant, had an
interview with Mr.. Greeley at the Tri-
bune office on Monday. We do not
know what General Grant may think,
but we believe he could not select a
chief fer the Post Office Department
who would discharge the duties of the
position with more painstaking fidelity
and ability, or whose appointment
would give greater satisfaction to the
Republicans of the country. The
presence of Horace Greeley in Grant s
Cabinet would be an additional guar
aRty of unpurehssable honesty and
rigid economy in the new administra-
tion.-,Sdndtsky Register

THE number of suits for divorce
commenced In the courts of Chicago
during the year 1868 amounted to 40,
in 2S4 Of which wives we're the plain
tifs, and 176 husbands, the increase
over 1867 being altogether 122. Con-
sidering that in many of these cases
the parties probably came from other
places for the express purpose of get
ting divorced from their matrimonial
bond, it may be doubted whether the
city deserves the reputation it has
gained for the fckleness and immoral
ity of its married people.
