Importnnt 10 soldiets.

The Supreme Court Of the United States has
recently decided in case bruught before il,
that soldiers who enlisted for three years under
the Presidents Proclamation, and orders Of the
War Department of May, 1861, are entitled 10
500, even il they had not served two years or
been discl. arged Of wounds. II will be remem-
bered ihatthe proclamation and orders referred
To promised To each soldier who enlisted under
snch calls bounty Of SlO0 ,Ohen discharged. The
first bounty law, passed July %, 1861, imposed
a condition oftwO years service before the sol
der would be eutitled to the SlO0 bounty prom
ised by said act. This was Afterwards amend
ed, granting the bounty To men discharged for
wOundsi but men who had been discharged for
disability, who enlisted prior to the Act Of July
22. 1881 and with direct promise Of 500 when
discharged, have heretofore been denied the
bounty for the reason that they did not fulfill the
conditions of the Act of July 22, 1861. The de-
cision Of the Court Is that, inasmuch as the Acts
Of the President have been legalized by joint
resolution Of Congress, that tue government is
bound46 fulfill the contract made, and pay to
the men their 500 bounty, no matter for what
cause they had been discharged, il their dis.
charge was an honorable one.

SHARP pRACTICE

The Ditch system Of Wood county, from its
magnitude and cost, combined with its relative
and contingent interests, has become of much
Importance to taxpayers and citizens generally.
Indeed all are interested in having the rich lands
Of the county drained in thorough manner at
the least cost pOss BILE.
Its..complications are such as demand skill ard
business comp etency on the part Of the County
Commissioners, in order that exact justice should
be secured between tax-payes and parties con.
tractius to perfoI m work ON the bitches. Asan
illustration Of the importance of possessing such
capacity by the GsaiEaissioners, we give the fol-
lowing particulars Of a sharp operation in rela
tiou to the Center Ditch.
The Center Ditch, which has lately been con
struete!, has two outlets for the water passing
through it,; one through the bayou on Me-.
HAYES farm, and the other through the farm
belonging to Mr.. G. keller, by purchase of the
right for the sum OF $3.50. The contract made
with Mr.. COLEMAN KELLER was for carrying of
half the water brought down by the Center
Ditch. On receiving county orders for the
amount of his contract, Mr.. KELLER informed
the Comm ssiorers that unless they could dem
onsirate in some way that not more than haif the
water of said ditch passed through his farm he
would prevent its passage unless the additional
sum OF $500 were paid him. Such evidence
they could not furnish, and as matter Of neces-
sity they paid him the additional sum $500. On
the receip. Of county orders fur that amount this
shrewd and enterprising contractor presented
another claim of $3.50 for the formation Of weirs
AMI waste water ways for the exit of the surplus
water thrown into the Perrysburg Hydraulic
Canal by the Center Ditch. That amount the
Commissioners al,o allowed him without taking
any 1vailable security for executing the work
aud, up tn the present tune, the first step has not
been taken towards executing ii. Thus 81 zoo
Of the peoples money has been paid for work
that $3.50 would have amply compensated.
The condition of the Perrysbnrg Hydraulic
Canal is reproach to our pdblc enterprise; nui-
sance to the property boilers Oh its line of route
spusitive disgrace to Pcrrysburg. The water
from the Center Ditch has brought down a d, :
post of sand and dirt, which has elevated tile
bottom Of tho canal t) within a5Int on, fo,
Of the p Of the bank at the point of its entrance
the canal and the current # water passes up
n Mr.. BARNEs' farm instead OF running towards
Perrysburg. The condition Of the canal is now
worse than il has been at any former period. II
isreaily to be desired that the Town Council and
property holders on the ine Of the canal should
unite in demanding that the canal be made whal
its charter requires. Otherwise let it he aban-
donsd as nuisance. Further forbearance In
the matter has ceased to be virtue.

When, subsequently, the President met
Mr.. GOULD at Mr. CoRBN's house, he
thanked him for having made this payment
This is the statement which, more or less
bunglnRly, some Of President GRANTS
friends have made o show of denying but as
yet nothing has appeared in relation to the
matter emanating directly from the Presi
dent himself 1t is certainly time that he
should speak out on the subject. Mr..
GouID's assertion IL sustained by the ex-
istcncc Of two checks for thousand dollars
each, paid to the RAwLINs fund, when no
only had TO pay one thousand dollars for his
own subscription. What was the other
thousand-dolar check for II II was not to
pay Gen. GRANTS thousand dollars2 Do
President GRANTS friends mean 10 accuse
Gen. BUTTERTIELD Of having obtained it
uadcr false pretences and put the money in
Liz own pockct7 This is out Of the ques-
ton and the statement of Mcssrs. FISK and
GOULD is accordingly pretty sure to be
believed This affair also revives in very
un pleasant manner the recollection of Presi-
don't GRANTS alleged connection with the
Gold Ring of last summer and fall
There is one way for President GRANT to
clear himself Of the charge of having had
Lie subscription to the RAwLINs fund paid
by one Of the partners in the Gold Ring as a
present TO him. Let him make an affidavit
that he himself and no one else, paid his
thousand dollar subscription, and That Gen.
BuTTERrIErDs conduct in the matter was
neither ius,igated nor approved by him.
Dare he make such an afiidavitH If he dare
not, be must take the consequences.

The English Mission.

The names of several distinguished citi.
British mission. Mr. FRELIHGHuYsEN, Sena
tor MORTON, BEN WADE, Judge ORTIZ, the
Hon q. W. CURTIS, and Judge PIERREPoNT
have all been mentioned in relation to this
subject and two of these gentlemen have
even received an offer of the mission, and
have refused it. 1t is evident that President
GRANT finds considerable difficulty in select
ing man 70 his mind for Mr.. MoTLEY's
successor /; but we have a suggestion to make
to him which we think may put an end to
all his embarrassment.
We nominate 10 President GRANT for
appointment TO this mission the Hon.
JESSE K. GRANT, of Covington, KY,
low Postmaster Of that prosperous city.
Our nominee is a man noted for his private
goodness, his vital piety, and his family con.
nections. lie is emphatically an American,
because he could not possibly have been born
in any other country He il old in years and
ripe in experience, endowed with great natu-
raj shrewdness, and able to drive bargain
and keep all he gets. Lord GRANVILLE could
never oyerrcach him ia settling the Alabama
claims. He would be welcomed in England
as the futher of the President and even fhe
had not half tho capacity and statesmanlike
cultivation which he really possesses, Eng
lsh funkeyism would endow him with the
greatest virtues and the most brilliant genius.
Besides, he would be able to set an example
Of genuine frugalty and democratic slmplic!-
" that would be useful among the pomp and
glitter of British royalty aud aristocracy
The salary-SlI0O0 q year in gold-is also
much betterthan the present official income
! of Mr., GRANT as Postmaster at Covington.
We throw out this idea, and if it relieves
the anxiety Of the Presidents mind respect
ing the British mission, we shall Dc glad. 1t
may perhaps be objected that the President
ough; not to appoint one of his own near
relations TO an important office. That view
of things prevailed in JEFFERsoN's time, and
has generally been adopted by our Presi-
dents but more modern IDEAS came in with
the advent Of the present occupant OF the
White House. Besides, having appointed
his brother.in.law TO the mission 10 Copen-
hagen, why should not the President appoint
his father TO the mission 20 London2 Sc
good thing ought not to be allowed TO leave
the family, if II can be helped.

The Havana cable, although the property
of an American company is so completely under
the control Of the Spanish Government, that any
messages of political character transmitted by
1t to the outside world arc necessarily weighed
BY intelligent people with due consideration.
Some ten days ago the cable Informed us that
Gen. CARO- had surrendered. The only General of
that name is Spanish General, who, when last
heard from, was in command Of the Spanish
forces in Puerto Principe. Emanating from
Spanish sources, the news was strange that
among the moderately well informed il passed as
simply the reiteration of the old story Of the
render Of some Cuban leader. Yesterday we were
furnished with the tlitc conundrum "BEMBErA
has surrendered. The Salvador, which ras laden
with arms and ammunition, has been captured"
by private letters il is known that DKnBETA, so
far from having surrendered, has taken the often
sive at the head Of newly armed troops and that,
while as to the capture Of the Salvador nothing
reliable is known, 1t is certain that two eIpedi-
tons have landed successfully and delivered into
Cuban hands over 5000 muskets and million
and half Of cartridges.
