Senator WILSON Of Massachusetts,, ono Of
the scLndcst statesmen of the country, has Just
published an elaborate rerutaton of an article at
lacking the late Secretary STANTON, which the
Hon. j. s. BLACK published some time ago. Mr.
BLACK had charged Mr.. STANTON with having been
at the start symTathizcr with the rebellion. This
imputgtiCn Mr.. WILSON conclusiye'y sets aside
by evidence that cannot be broken. We cor.
graduate him upon the success Of lis cilort-no
now undertaking for him, by the way, Tor since
lie has been in public life Mr. WILSON has been
conspicuous as tho champion of right and jus
ticc. If he were not a citizen Of Massachusetts,,
a state which is thought TO liz too far toward the
east, lie would be a most prominent candidate
for Il q next Presidency.

1t Is reported that the Prussiuns have been
decsivelv repulsed at Toul. This is very unfor
tunate for them. The possession Of Toul is Of
great importance TO the continuance of their ac-
tive campaign. II is situated upon the southern
line Of railroad connecting Germany with Paris.
1t commands the line, and, unlike Metz, the coun.
try which surrounds il is Of such nature that it
is exceedingly difficult to construct new line
that will be beyond the reach Of fire from the
fortresses. The desire Of the Prussians to pos
sess the place is justified by the fact that hitherto
they have been compelled to stop all trains be-
fcrc coming under fire. and then to haul the sup
plies and materials around by common roads,
putting them into new trains on the west of the
place. To obviate this inconvenience, they made
on Monday desperate assault upon the fort, and
were driven back with heavy loss. They will
still be obliged to continue hauling around it by
horse power.

Judge BLATCHFoRD sat on Tuesday, Wed
nesday, and Thursday Of this week in the United
States District Court for cases in which process.
es had been returned The Court will not open
for trials until the irst Tuesday of next month.
by far the most important case TO the whole
commercial community of this country,
WHICH is now on the calendar of Judge BLArcu-
roRD's Court is that Of the steamer Florida. She
was seized on the Goth ulhmo, on an order Of the
United States Commissioner, applied for by the
District Attorney ON the representation Of the
Spanish Minister. This representation was
founded on an affidavit signed by some person
who is ashamed to have his name known, which
stated that the Florida intended to make war
against Spain. This at least is presumed to be
the purport Of the mysterious affidavit, which the
owner has not been allowed 20 sec for Il is un-
likely, in view Of the oft.repeated statements of
Gen. GaAxr, that o United States Commissioner
would assume the responsibility Of OBTAINING any
vessel on any less serious charge.
We understand that Gen. DAnR, tie owner Of
the Florida has appealed to the Attorney Gen.
eral, to the Secretary ofstatc, and to the Presi.
dent himself, requesting til at, as the hbellant OF
his vessel, the Spanish Minister, is utterly ire
sponsible for damages and losses attendant upon
detention, the case may be accorded speedy trial.
We regret to learn that Judge BLArcHFoRD re-
turned to Newport without assigning date for
the trial of the Florida. II is his prcrogativc to
place this trial, so important to all commercial
men, at the head of the calendar and by so doing
he would have earned the thanks Of the com.
munty. But Judge DLArcuroRp did not see I'll
80 to determine This is in the interest of Spain
and not of American merchants, aud ii is to be
regretted accordingly.

A telegram from Washington suys that
Gen. GRANT is going to appoint Senator Will
LiAMs Of Oregon Solicitor General, IN Office
created by the present Congress of which Mr..
WILLIAMS is member. The Constitute, ar

Representative shall, during the time for which
he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office
under the authority of the United States which
shall have been created during such time" We
presume the President is ignorant of this proyi-
sion; bu,, since TuE SrS calls his attention to

A correspondent Of the Charleston Courier
relates conversation rs it occurred at a po-

Carolina, between r. B. Carpenter, the Re

Smythe, Radical candidate for State Senator

increase of taxes, when Powell Smythe in

The Judge" "Certainly. if you will al

six children in Clarendon, and went to Co

bribery and married another woman there ~
The crowd -''Yes, that's 50; he the

The Judge-"The children were youl

symthe-''Yes! but she was not my wife

The Judge-''You were in the Legislature
two years? Now I'll tell you law that you

AN AERIAL ADVENTURE.

\ very singular occurrence took place on
Friday last near Bridgeport, which put, a
dangerous aspect on a boyish sport that ha,
hitherto been considered quite pastime. 4
lad named Willie Goodman, aged ten wears.
residing on Columbia street, like every other
noy IN the kite flying period of his existence
became ambitious to make monster kite
'hat should lily higher than any other That
ever was made Accordingly he made
one win wings such as may be seen in any
TOY shop window. 1t was built after the
style OF a japanese kite, and was fully six
feet in length. The stout framework was
covered with paper in very artistic manner.
and a strong hcmpcn cord was attached 10
the crOsSbedms.
All things prepared, two companions
'boosted' the artificial bird to 4 proper
angle and ii licW into the air like thing of
life. 1t arose moderately at first, the wind
taking it to the westward, but having attain
ed about POO feet it came into an opposing
current which drove it to the south with
great velocity. The mammoth toy rose still
higher and higher. the little aeronaut LETTING
out the string, which was nearly Jerking him
off his feet. As his Kite went upward the
boys spirits Went with it, and he continued
paying out the line until at length an end
was reached, but still the rayenous kite de-
manded more. Being arrested in its flight il
began to Jerk and pull so sayaoelv that the
lad was compelled to tic the cord about his
wrist to prevent its slipping from his hands.
The ambitions bov had reached tbn baf,rht
Of success in aoronnuties, and he gozcI N

rapidly as to lift the aerial navigator clear
from the ground.
Nor did he come down again Immediately,
but Kept rising higher and higher, at the
same time drifting IN Il southerly direction,
until an altitude OF seventy-tive feet or more
was reached. by clinging to the cord the
lad was enabled to maintain an upright posi-
ton, but he was unable to unite it, nor WAS
such u course desirable, for while the cor
was leading him to apparent destruction, it

THREE MEN KILLED BY GRIZZLY BEAR.
Thrne men, whose names are unknown, but
who had boon keeping Il dair~ on the san
Benito ranch. came to their death in a most
horrible manner. On Thursday one of their
cows strayed away and was lost. On the
next morning, before breakfast, two Of them
started out to take u look for the missing
animal. After travelling up the ravine some
distance, they discovered the COW living
among the bush. Thinking she was asleep
they went up to start her home; but it ap-
pears the COW had been killed by grizzly,
who was at the time lying 1T her side. As
the men approached the bear lcapcd upon
the foremost one, throwing him to the ground
tore out his entrailS, and then scizing the
second caught his head in his mouth and bit
it entirely off, mangling it learfully The
bear then resumed his position by the body
Of the dead COW. The man who was first
attached did not die Immediately, but had
strength enough left to drag himself Il short
distance from the spot.
In the meantime the man left at the camp
having prepared breakfast, went out to call
up the companions. Finding their trail, he
followed it until he saw the cow lying in the
bushes, and thinking he would drive hel
home, he approached the spot, when the
bear springing upon him instantly killing
him, hanging hlm III the most horrible
manner. The surviving victim, who was
lying in the bush at a short distance from the
scene, witnessed his approach and death, bu
was 50 terribly wounded that he was unable
to give any warning. The bodies were
found Il short time afterward, and conveyed
to the camp, where the survivor died during
the ensuing night after relating the affair
as we have stated above. The bear is thu
same one which has been in that vicinity fo
the last ten years, it being known from it

TIE County Fair.

TIE coraty Fair.
We have no room for long CON-
ments on the Fair, of last week. Suf-
fec it to say that on the. first day, it
r.iued, and very few entries were
made; on the second day, 1t rainel,
and very few entries wee made, no
Grafton delivered, no exhibition OF
stock, and 20 awards; on the third
day, it ,ained, and very few entries
were made, very little stock exhibit
ed, some trotting performed, articles
and stock examined, and awards
made, for such as were on tue
grounds.
The slim attendance at the fair the
first and second days, and the very
meagre exhibition of agricultural
products were due, not to the apathy
nor illlberality OF the people of Ia
ma county, but to the rain of those
days. We learn from reliable sou1c-
es that preparations were made all
over the county TOR bringing in stock
and agricultural and other industrial
products, extensively. We are glad
to know this, for it Is evidence that
tho people Of Tama county are not
ignorant of tho advantages Of an Ag-
ricultural Society, But the elements
proved unpropiticus, and the exhlbi-
ton and attendance we're small.
