TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Nearly year since, we made propositions So regular and occasional correspondence, whicl met with ready response, adding much to thu value of our paper, and laying us under persona obligation to the gentlemen rendering us sucl assistance. We are thereby encouraged to renew our propositions, hoping that the good example already set will be generally followed. and that the local news of all parts of the County will be fully reported in our paper.
 . Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Ltchfeld County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic e1ird copies of the EN- QUIRER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us, or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending communications, of the number of copies desired, and to whom they are to be sent.
 2. Local items from reliable sources, in any part of the county, will be received with pleasure, but we are particularly de- correspondents. To each of these, or to we will send copy of our paper regularly
 
 above.
 --. '- REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub- lication is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having the contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signature, single let ter being sufficient. In case of two communications relating to the same event, the fullest will usually be published Hence communications never come amiss. even from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional | information. l A simple statement of facts is all that is neces- sary. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

 The invited guests, to the number ot one hundred and seventy five, to the tenth anniversary of Mir. and Mrs Sherman Hartwell's wedding, assembled at their house, on Monday evening. all accompa- nied with the Indispensable TIN. To par ticularize the gifts would be to give the inventory of tin-shop. There was much tin. There was more lin. It was most all tin-we mean the gifts. There were songs sung that had no ring of tin about them. There was table loaded with good things that had been all baked in tin: The guests embraced representatives from all the ad- joining towns The President of the S. VI. R.

Grant and [" The Politicians. !"

The power of the United States Execu. tive was never as low as when Gen. Grant assumed the administration in the Spring of 1889. Andrew Johnson, barely esca. ping impeachment, had been driven from that vantage ground which enabledAndrew Jackson to defy the Senate, and to make successful opposition to majorities in both branches, even, of the National Legislature. All will recollect the suspense and uncer- tainty of the few weeks before March 4, l669, and the opposition aroused in the Senate by the Presidents first Cabinet nominations Open rupture was avoided only by the Presidents yielding in the ap. pointment of Mir. Boutwell,, and accepting . partial repeal of the Tenure of Office act. We think that the Presidents ori- ginal plan of appointing Cabinet, as 8 General might appoint staff, without re- ference to the wishes of Congress, was as mistaken as it was unusual. Our Cabinet is not mere legislative committee like a British Ministry; but it should be formed with view to harmony with the majority in Congress elected at the same time. and by the same majority of the people which elects the President. In practice, the Cab- inet has been formed from men who have been prominent in Congress. and leaders of the dominant party.
 From the first, General Grant has de- parted from this usual custom. Whatever msy be the faults of the present Cabinet, it is not, as compared with former ones, an Administration of politicians. No cab. inet of the present century has contained 60 few of that class. The term "politi- cian" as generally used, it must be remem- bered. applies equally to all who have shown distinguished ability ill either House. A Cabinet so formed as to exclude all such, would be manifest blunder-p precisely the blunder Grant came near making at the outset. The evils incurred by such an ar rangement, would greatly exceed the evils avoided. That a larger experience has convinced the President of this fact, is ev- idenced by his later cabinet appointments.
 6Ofar, we believe that She President has done wisely, that he has shown that eapa- city for revising mistaken opinions which distinguishes firmness from obstinacv. There IS, however. species of politician to whom no Administration can afford to yield A President to whom the McClures. the Forneys, and the Camerons, can die. tate. is no longer the servant of the peo- pae. but of party. SecretaryC Coxe's resig. nation raises doubt whether the Presi- dent has not yielded to just such dictation as this. We must remember, however. that ws have heard but one side of that story. Some very able and honest men are 50 crabbed and impracticable as to seri- O1sly impair their efficiency in office. Wheth. CT Gen. .COxe was allowed to retire for some such reason as this. will be conclusiyely shown by subsequent nominations. His successor, Mir. Delano, is the right man in tee night place. We shall not believe that an Administration which has been hitherto more independent of wire-pullers" than any other of our time, has capituiated, to them until we see better evidence than has been hitherto offered.

FEMALE LEcTURERs.-Every one must have been struck with the popularity of female lecturers. Miss Anna Dickinson and Miss Olive Logan each draw large houses, and have more applications than they can fill, though speaking nearly every evening. Nor is the attraction mere curi- osity. Miss Dickinson "draws" best where she is best known. The advocates of the theory of woman's subjection will find it difficult to account for the fact that some of our best of American speakers, as well as writers, belong to the inferior" sex.
