The New York SIN, while opposed
to Grant, says it is not very opportune
for an assumed friend Of the president
to proclaim to the world that General
Grant, who gained power by saying.
Let Us have peace can retain it by
making war with England" The SIN
thus disrosss Of Buffers plan for CON
tlnuins the Republican party in
power:
General Butler declares that the dis
credited administration of Gen. Grant
can only be saved from final destruction
BY going to war with England, if that
power should decline tn surrender the
North American colonies to the United
States as an equivalent to the Alabama
claims Not that General Butler cares
about the outraged rights Of American
citizens. To these he is Indifferent
Int the dilemma in which Grants follics
and crimes have placed the Republican
party is, in his opinion, so desperate
chat nothing can save it from dissolu-
ton excepting war issue with Great
Britain
The unprincipled nature Of General
Butler is fully demonstrated by this
hooking proposition. War is to be
made with England not as matter of
justice to the Alabama claimants. but as
partisan device to gain votes for bad
president whom the people have resolved
to repudiate. If Gen. Butler we're not
more influential than he ought to be, his
sentiments would deserve little notice.
But with his position in the house, es
pecially since the defeat of General
Scfcnck, and his mischieyous influence
at the other end of the avenue, his pro-
posal will command considerable atten.
ton both in this country and England.
Surely nothing can be better calculated
to prevent peaceful settlement of the
existing difficulties than this clustering
and INSCRIPTIONS project.

is there for tho poor p,ticut,

A woman of Fort Wayne, after two
years of married life, became dissatisfied
with her husband, and quietly removed
to the quarters of Il paramount, residing
in the same city. The deserted hus-
band, although not convinced that such
a proceeding was strictly Wright, con-
cluded not to trouble her, believing
himself well rid Of an unworthy wife.
Mr.. St John. farmer, residing near
Flint lake, about six miles north of Val

of Mr.. st. John about six months.
Sopher was found dead short distance

CORRESPONDENCE.
WANArAH. Ind. Nov. Did. 1870.

WANATAH, luu. N0vs "a, IotO.
ME-. EDITOR: Thinking that a few lines
from this place, telling you how things are
progressing, might be of interest to some
Of your readers, send you bril- sketch
of what has been done, is doing, and what
we hope will be done in the future. On
the 5th Of September, school opened in the
new building called the Enterprise"
and although it was understood that it was
not public school, but pay term, there
have been sixty names enrolled, with an
average attendance of forty eight. During
the term, the citizens and directors have
changed it to graded school and have
connected the public money with it, which
will tend to lower the tuition. The term
thus far has passed off very pleasantly and
we hope probably to tie students, and
will close with public entertainment in
the New Hall, on Friday evening, Decem-
Der I'd, to which the friends of education
are cordially invited. The winter term
will open on Monday, December 18th, and
continue Ii weeks. With new, well ar
ranged and well-finished building, n quiet
town, .nd board at very reasonable rates,
we hope to see the number of pupils en-
large each term. No pains will be spared
by the directors of the school and teachers
to make it q success. During the term,
there has been Presbyterian church or
ganized, under the care Of Rev. Elliott, of
Union Mills. Bro. E., we believe, is an
earnest, faithful man, and we trust that the
vine he has planted may bear much fruit
The Good Templars Lodge has done much
good There has been more improvement
in the way of building, etc, than in any
past year of its existence. These things
taken together with the fact that tho crops
are good and that it is situated in favora-
BILE place, lead us to hope that Wanatah
may yet become quite town.

What Next!

1t is said that some of the men in
New York are infringing upon "woman's
sphere" and earning their living by
making women's dresses. An exchange
pronounces them bushy-headed, mus
tached and bewhiskered Poles, Hunga-
rians and Austrians, who have served a
regular apprenticeship in their own
country, and who manage by their
courteous manners, dexteri y and skill,
to please many ladies in the manipula-
ton of ruches, scallops, bows, bands,
loops and other trimming considered
necessary to the paraphernalia of fash
ionable ladies' toilets In Boston, two
of the first class millinery establishments
employ men rs bonnet trimmers, and
they show great adaptability for their
work.

A telegram from Reno, under date of
9Th inst, thus records bold robbery of
an express car:
The Central Pacific passenger train,
bound east, and due here at one o'clock
III the morning, arrived at Verdi, a
small station west of Reno, on time.
Just as the train was starting from this
station, three masked men boarded the
express car, and five more Immediately
came to their aid from the rear cars.
These five evidently came from the west
on the train. Six stopped on the ex-
press car, which they detached from the
main train, cutting the signal rope, etc;
two jumped on the engine, placing pis-
tolls to the engineers head, and COM
handed him to move on, which he did.
Two brakemcn endeavored to keep the
masked men off the express car, but
pistols placed at their heads compelled
their retreat. The conductor rushed
forward, but pistols stopped him. Find
ing Ratchet, he came forward again,
in time to see the engine and express
car separated from the train and flying
down the track. The robbers then
placed the fireman, the express and
mail messengers in the mail room, and
locked them up. When within six
miles of this city they stopped their
train, broke open the express boxes,
and robbed them of 81, 500 in gold
coin.

A local in St. Louis has been getting

A local in St. Louis has been getting
married, and his brother local of the
Democrat gives him the following ''good
potice:" "Some people get married and
some don't. Some men prefer maids,
and some other men prefer willows
that is matter of taste. Each horn of
the dilemma has it's advantages. One
advantage possessed by widow is that
she has graduated = has her eye-teeth
cut, and knows what's what. A virgin
has everything to learn, and it requires
patience and perseverance to instruct
her. Our golden-h haired friend, George
Center Brown, the sensational writer,
preferred a widow. He picked out the
best one in the city-Mrs. Jennie s.
Jenkins-and on Saturday the twain
were made one. The affections Of the
lovely and gushing widow have for
some time conferred in Center, and she
was his'n, from center to circumference.
Three exquisite children, ready made,
assist materially in cementing the union.
IT'S sweet to be called papa by cherub
lips, on ones wedding day. The eve
ming went off smoothly-skies serene
friends in good spirits, and nobody hurt.
We congratulate our sensational friends
upon securing the monopoly of so hand
some an item Long may he wave"

The ralicala are getting hard LID. No

The radicals are getting hard up. Not
of them advocate the same thing to save
their party from going to pieces. The Trib-
une of Chicago is trying to save it by
believing for the adoption of the DEM
ccratic doctrine Of free trade. Its New York
is believing just as vocifcrOusly
that the only thing that will save It's more
tariffs and higher ones. Grant is trying his
level best to saveit by using baycncts and
employing public patronage. Butler is en-
the rampage, and is clamoring that its only
salvation is in getting up war with Eng
land. Radical congressman in Washington
are making a desperate effort to save it by
to reconstruct Tennessee and o
few of the border states, so as to pcrma-
nently assure radical majority. And all
this time the democratic majorities are COM
ing in larger and larger, and rotten radio
alism is every hour going more and more
to pieces-Timcs

Political, NEWS.

The latest dispatches settle the fact
tina. Nevada is Democratic all through,
on congressman and legislature. In
Florida, too, quite unexpectedly, when
we consider its large negro vote, and
other difficulties thrown in the way of
the Democrats by corrupt administra-
ton, they have succeeded in elccting
their ticket. They have chosen their
Congressman and will have majority in
the state legislature This addition of
two Democrats to our list, and subtrac-
ton from the Republicans, reduces the
republican majority in the house to %.
The Democrats will have in the neig h-
borhood of 10 members to the Repub-
leans 133. The victory in Nevada is
equally gratifying, inasmuch as it
makes the Pacific section of the coun-
try a Democratic unit. We had al
ready carried Oregon and CALIFORNIA,
and Nevada now completes the circle.
