The New York Advertiser in article upon the
conduct of the European war, that the rough
and tough old soldier, Won Steinmetz, who won the
day at Graveotte, removed because he whipped
the French at Forbach instead CT playing second fiddle
to one Of the German princes and says that in none
of the official dispatches emanatiDg from Prussian
headquarters has credit been given to the real author
of these German victories. " 1t is all King William
Won Motke is never heard Of" The reason, accord
ing to the Advertiser, is very plain-the Kings ex-
IRENE age makes it impossible that be should occupy
the throne much longer and it is important that the
Crown Prince should carry off the aurels of this war
capital for the succession. The game is being played
entirely in the interest Of the House of Hohenzollern

Culpable Omission.

The Legislature OF this State, although it discharged
its manifold duties with distinguished and dsintefested
ability failed up to the mark in one important
particular. 1t neglected to embody in the bill making
it punishable with fine and imprisonment for white
man to discharge a colored employe because OF MS
political proclivties an additional clause making 1t
crime punishable with death for to refuse to en-
poy Il Radical to black his boots.
And We conceive that it is perfectly legitimate for
gentleman to take advantage of this singular and in
excusable omission. This would bring rampant col
ored Radicals to terms in short order Their carpet
bag friends socaed, could not afford them employ
ment because they have 70 black their boots, and
absolutely rely for bread upon swndng their colored
dupes out of the money they receive in payment from
gentlemen for this ornamental branch of industry.
Let our friends look it. This is to the freedmen an
argaanentm ad honena, and one which he can easily
comprehend. Appeals to his self-interest through
the indirect mode of attempting to prove to him
that so far he is concerned the only material dif-
ference between the Democratic and Radical parties is
that the former is laborng the system Of
Wholesale stealage pracced by the latter to the detr-
ment of both white and coored-such appeals, we say
fall unheeded upon the coored ear But he readily
understand such language this See here, my col
ored friend how you reasonably expect me to give
YOU employment in the bootblacking line, when you
are foolishly and wlsully doing everything in your
poverty voting for thieves and scoundres whose
only end and aim it to enrich themselves at the
pense of your labor and my capitalize impoversh US
and rob US of the very whereby we are enabled
to employ you as boot-backs? And aside from a
question of policy and of Ter telioa tit for tat" in
the vernacular continued Radical rule will eventually
place it beyond pecunsry ability to engage your
services The best informed of your colored friends

ALBANY, March 81, 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald Il wish to say
few words to the good people of Mt,
Tabor and Dandy, through your paper,
about mineral springs. Now, gentlemen,
what in the world are you about, or think
ing of, that you don't move in regard to
your famous mineral springs? Middle
town is wide awake in building large
hotel to accommodate those wishing to go
and use the water of their spring; and
you, who have the best spring in the
world, seem to rest easy, and let others go
ahead and reap the benefits.
don't see a word in the papers from
Bond & Sweat about the success of their
Mt. Tabor Chalybeate Spring for last sea-
son, but hear they had some great cures
done by their famous water. l should
like to hear through your paper the truth
in the matter.
Now, gentlemen, I understand that the
owners of your spring are not able to go
ahead and build hotel to accommodate
those who would come to use the water
if you had such a one. Why don't you
wake up in the matter, and take hold with
them? You little know what a help it
would be to your place and to the world
in a short time l understand the water
is sure cure for all humors, and also for
the catarrh, which is one of the worst
diseases in oar country at the present
time. | am some ways from you, but I
take the papers, and want to read more
about that famous spring and its cures.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 8

WASHINGTON, IL. u, April u.
hdito1 Rutland Herald The past
week has been made memorable, in the
annals of our country, by the incorpora-
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment, as a
part and parcel of the Federal Constitu-
ton and tho completion of the work of
reconstruction. Your correspondent, hav-
ing some business to transact at the Exc
cutive Mansion, called the upon Wednes-
day, and was permitted to see the Presid-
ent, Just as he was about to atix his
signature to the message, announcing to
the country, the fact of its adoption and
at no time, since the surrender of Lees
army, did he seem to be in as good spir-
its, as on that day. He received US cor
daily and seemed pleased to be able to
grant therequest, which was then made
of him. The inevitable cigar was in his
mouth while the long table at which he
sat, was covered with papers. His Secre-
tary, Gen. Porter, was sitting near him
with coat thrown off reading and correct
ing the message wheI we went in. AL
though the whole thing was a mere cir
cumstance, still, the time and place will
always remain impressed upon my mem
ory. The negro it now seems, must be
taken out OF politics. Having become a
citizen, and possessing vote his import
ance becomes such, that those who have
been his enemies, are now anxious to be
counted among his warmest friends. In
Maryland, the Legislature have adopted,
and inserted clause in their constitution
striking out the word "white," and, al
though some of her principal men, coun-
tenanced resistance, yet all seem ready to
accept the situation, and allow them to
vote The same reports come from all the
other States. AS to their social position
the majority of them prefer to associate
among and with themselves, and, were it
not for few restless spirits, led on by
unscrupulous politicians, there would
be no trouble on that score. Congress has
given bountifully, at the request of the
colored people, for the purpose of estab-
fishing separate schools here in Washing
ton, but during the past year few, urged
on by Brown, the present Mayor and some

THE MEMPHREMAGoG HoUsE.-The
Springfield Republican correspondent thus
speaks of the recent improvements in the
Memphremagog House at Newport:
It is expected that the completion of
the railroad that will connect Newport
with the Grand Trunk will create a large
business that does not now exist, for want
of proper facilities and taking this view,
the owners of the Memphremagog House
are now making large additions to meet a
future w,nt. The old part has been torn
ava, and four-story wing about so feet
wide and 1876 feet long, corresponding
with the ,ne facing the railroad, has been
added. This gives front on the street
of $50 fe,t. This will furnish accommo-
dations for 300 guests without any crowd
ing, while in cases of emergency 400 could
be taken care of The Springfield Gas
Machine Company have furnished one of
their machines and the house will be sup
piled with gas from basement TO attic.
Steam ha, been put in and the house in
winter will be thoroughly heated. An
Aqueduci Company has been formed and
the best If spring water will be brought
from an elevation east of the southern
end of the lake, and the house will be
supplied from it. The house is to be
thoroughly renovated and newly furnish
ed, and when it is ready to receive guests,
on the fist of June, it will be one of the
best hotls in New England. The addi-
tions ami repairs this year will cost from
$50, $4,000, and the whole prop
erty viii be worth not less than $780,
600. II rear of the house and little to
the wea of it, close upon the lake shore,
a new livery barn, costing $4,000, is being
built This is also connected with the
house. The hotel will be kept by Bow
man & Barnes, who gave such good satis-
faction last year in its management.
