Quincey's phrase; and the city, if less H.
!bidinous, was probably more blood stained
than Sodom or Gomorrah. Yet, in a
short time, by the vigor and decision of
one man, this hideous state of things was
entirely changed; and through Havana
then, as through England, under Alfred,
or through Geneva now, the most gentle
natured woman could walk at midnight
with a female attendant, unsecured and I'M
harmed. One night murder was COM
mitted, and Tacon, the Chief of Police,
heard in the morning that the perpetra or
was still at large. He summoned the pre-
feet of the department in which the crime
was committed. How is this, sir? man
murdered at midnight, and the murderer
not yet arrested?" May it please your
Excellency, it is impossible We do not
even know who it is" Tacon saw the
officer was lying. Hank, you, sir Bring
me this murderer before night, or I'll gar
rote y0u TO- MORO " morning" The officer
knew his man, and the assassin was forth.

Wisconsin Press,

The members of the Wisconsin
Editors and Publishers Associa-
ton will be glad to learn that the
Address before their next Annual
Convention, to be held at Green
Bay, in June, 1871, will be deliv-
cred by talented veteran in edi-
torial service, S. D. Carpenter,
Esq, formerly of the Madison Pa
triot, whose valuable experience as
a printer, publisher and editor, will
enable him to impart much informa-
ton to the younger members of the
Wisconsin Press, with which he
has been SO long and creditably iden-
tilted.
recognition of the fact that, for
intellectual honors and literary
achievements women and men are
equal competitors, the Association
will be favored with two poems-one
from II. B. PHILLEo, ESQ.,, we'll
and favorably known through his
editorial connection with the Wood
County Reporter, and one from Miss
Churchill whose contributions to
the Milwaukee Sentinel have estab-
lished her reputation as lady

NO EUROPEAN CONFERENCE.

1t is stated that the Conference of the
Powers on the Eastern question has been
indefinitely postponed, as France has re-.
fused to take part, and the absence of
one of the signators of the treaty of Paris
would render the meeting useless. What
will happen now it is difficult to foresee.
Russia will, Of course, insist on the abro-
CATION of the treaty provisions as far as
they affect her rights in the Black Sea !;
and the Danubian principalities will
doubtless insist also on their lately declar-
ed Independence. What England and
the powers sympathizing with her are
going to do-about it, doth not yet appear.
1t hardly seems probable that they would
venture On any such action as would lead
to war, at present.

THE POINT GAINED BY THE GER.
MANS AT PARIS

1t is stated that the capture of Fort
Avron, east of Paris, by the Germans,
establishes the besieging force within the
outer works of the French, at enc of the
weakest points along their line of defense.
Foit DE Rosny, Immediately in front of
the captured works and hardly more than
mile distant. stand on an elevation no
higher than that of the position just
taken. Forts Nogcnt and Noisey, on its
right and left, are located on lesser eleva-
tlons, are not more difficult ground, and,
with Fort De Rorny captured, are indie
feasible. The Germans could throw
shells from the guns which reduced Fort
Avron, In the suburbs of Paris, at Belle
vile. From Akron, some guns will be
able to reach points. in the city within
the walls.

BENATOR SUMNER On TIE PRESI.
DENT,

The Bcloit Free Press expresses our
own views on this subject better than we
could do it ourselves, ia the following
THE Republican journals of the coun.
try, with scarcely an exception, have
spoken In terms of unqualified condem-
nation of the extraordinary course which
Senator Sumner is now pursuing toward
the President. Mr.. Sumner has an un-
doubted right to his own views on the
San Domingo business, as has also the
President and everybody else. But when
the distinguished Senatar assumes to take
the disposition of the whole matter into
his own hands, and sets out to extinguish
the President by violent personal abuse,
he will probably discover that he has un-
dertaken bigger job than he can very
well manage. Furthermore, as it appears
from his own recent confession, Mr. Sum-
ner has not opposed. the San Domingo
treaty upon grounds of public policy, but
simply III order to crafty personal ami
mostly against President Grant. Mr.
Sumner undoubtedly deserves we'll of the
country for what he has done in the past;
but the country will hardly permit him,
on that account, to undertake now, to
override questions of great public mo-
ment by considerations altogether per-
sonal to himself"
All we blame the President for in this
st. Domingo question is, that he has
gone back on himself by first protesting,
that she will of the people shall ever
guide him, and then, having had this
will very plainly expressed last year, to
renew his desire with increased urgency.
The State Journal says ''The failure of
the House to pass the Senate San Do.
mingo resolution ON Wednesday is re-
garded, even by its friends, as fatal to
the project so far as the present Congress
Is concerned. No vote san now be taken
on the resolution until next week, and
then it will be impossible to get the Com
mlss'cners' report in time for action.
inls will be great disappointment to
the President, as it will most likely post
pone the consummation of his fayorite
measure for a whole year.
In our humble opinion this measure is
more favored by the friends fthe Presi.
dent, than by the President himself, for
whom We have no better wish, than that
he may control his friends as satisfactory
~ as he conquered his enilnies; he twill
certainly meet with no loss, if be dis
charges his Butler"

AnEOhio Schoolmaster Murdered b,
One of his Pupil.
From the Bucyrus Journal, Dep. 80.


The citizens of Bucyrus, and es
pecially the senior portion OF the
pupils of the public schools, will be
panied to learn that Mr.. MahaIey
recently the teacher of the senior
grammer school, was killed under
very shameful circumstances three
weeks ago.
He had in his school at, ar
unruly boy, whom he chastised FOL
special act of misconduct the fol
lowing day the boy deliberately
committed the same act, and Mr.
Mahafey took him by the arm, and
walked to the door, which he closed
upon the boy.
The boy went home and soon re-
turned with his father, who called
Mr.. Mahaffey out of the room, and
after brief conversation assaulted
him. While Mr.. Mahafey was
struggling with the father, the boy
struck him with knife, stabbing
him in the lungs, and inficting q
severe wound, from which he died
in a few days.
Mr.. Mahafey had just finished
his education, and had sprepared
himself, ct heavy expense, to
teach, preparatory to entering the
ministry. He was faithfully labor
ing to pay off the debt. When he
left here, after paying of his debts.
he honorably reserved enough to
take him where he was going, and
sent the remainder of what he had
earned to reduce his indebtedness.
He was worthy and estimable
man.

CAPITA grows as wages

CAPITA grows as wages rise.
and diminishes as wages fall.
No civilized nation obtains from
other countries one-tenth of its con-
sumption.
THE strength and wealth of a
country should be measured by the
quantity and value gifts productions
which it consumes, and not by
what it sends to other countries.
IT is suicidal to break down OF
weaken the chief source of produc-
ton, for the sake Of purchasing 9
less quantity of cheaper commodi.
ties from abroad.
THE indispensable national policy
is to uphold and cherish that home
industry to which we are compelled
to look for nearly all that meets the
wants of civilized life.
IL is now estimated that the re
duction in the tariff which took ef

There is no other fact connected with

But few years ago, the annual receipts
