recover his old fabby sclf-complacenCy. There
is something positively touching In the bland
unconscious way in which the slow humbug
parades his incompetency. In letter of two
dozen lines he imagines he is explaining to the
English veteran the whole story of his failure
In his soft, quacking way, he says, YOu, who
"are the Moltkc Of England, will have under
"stGod that our disasters arose from the fact
that the Prussians were ready sooner than
eve, and that, 80 to speak, trey surprised us
ain the very act of formation Zen fagrant dflit
ode f0rmdtiOn.D Could anything bc more hu-
initiating than the dali choerfulness with which
he plays with his own disgrace But he goes
on and gives the history of the war in words
too tersely imbecile to bear alterations 1.-The
" offensive having become impossible, l re-
"solved to put myself on the defensive, but,
"hindcred by political considerations, a retreat
"was retarded and soon became impossible.
"Returning to Chal6ns, had wished to lead
"the last army that remained to us to Paris;
"but again political considerations forced us 10
"make that most impTudcnt and little sTa-
"tegical march which ended by the disaster OF
"Sedan." If you ask what motive could Induce
any one to pill0ry himself in this uncailod for
manner the complaisant historian answers Tor
himself. He does it, he assures Sir John, be-
"cause he wishes to retain his csteem." The
end is not much to speak of, but what can we
say Of the means?
In spite of all these things, there arc French
officers who are ready to commit trcasons and
pcriuries to get this gclatinOus incapaclty
back into France to serve as nucleus for
new corruptions and profigacies. There are
English worldngmen who sign addresses to
him, and travelling Americans who sit DESC
lately expcctoratng on the slabs of the court
of the Grand Hotel, wishing him back, so that
Paris would wake up, and the music would
begin, and the girls would dance again at the
Closerie, and the soldiers parade, and the
petits souperS revive in the quarter of our
Lady of LoreLtO. Louis the Desired remains

tranquil, waiting until his old Providence
Sham shall again restore him to his throne.

When the Tammany Ring had succeeded i'll
"fiXing things' so that it could steal $l,OOO,OOO
just as easily as 500, its ambition spurncd
the narrow boundaries of our own State, while
a part of its chiefs and their larger satellites
bought lands and erected Summer palaces IN
the southwestern corner of Connecticut.
Among them was Mr.. Elbrt A. Woodward, a
clerk in our City Hall at $500 Il year, out OF
which he managed to spend $4,000 and lay
up rather more. lie concluded to represent
in 1870 in the Senate Of Connecticut the Nor
walk (XIIth) Senate district-aways Wing by
large majority till it became strongly Re-
publican. Money being no object, Woodward
bought every vote that could be had for cash
or promises, and put himself in by decisive
majority, thus powerfully helping to make
English Governor. The Times [fiartford] ex-
ultcd over this triumph of its principles C) as
follows
"Old Fairfield County has done molly, and is steadily
advancing TO front position Democratic strong
hold in Connecticut The stcadfast and true Democrats
of Fairfield County entitled to the thanks of the
friends of the Union and free government throughout
the State and the country Much OF the success this year
is due TO the powerful name Of the Hon. Ebirt A Wood
ward their whoesOued and popular candidate for
Senator. His success is rcry Sb'iking!"
Thus encouraged, Elbirt made another
strike for a seat in the Senate this year; but,
though he poured out money like water, he
fell short in votes, and he and English went
under together.

their irredeemable "knsats" being as near as
the Japanese can get to our currency, both in
character and in the pronunciation of name.
Now they propose to import our sytem OF in

It, and have closed contract with Gen. Geo.

the visit of the Grand Duke is over. At any
rate tho American Minister at st. Petersburg
has never informed the Government of any
such notice by the Government at Washing
ton. 1t was, on the other hand, understood
here that the statement that Mr.. Catacazy had
been warned that he would only be tolerated

official. There is large falsehOod out some

The Rev. Mr.. Voysey. who will be remembered as
figuring of late in various ecclesiastical squabbes
in England, having been expelled from his curacy,
has hired st. Georges Hall in London and set up
new religion, assisted by an ex-Bshop. Mr.. Noysey
has arranged service to suit himself and his con-
gregation, of which the particulars would not be
particularly interesting to our readers albeit one Of
them is to us; for the Rev. Mr.. VOysey i'll his new
Litany has introduced o supplication as follows
That it may please Thee to help all literary persons
and the Editors of the public press" We cannot
sufficiently express gratitude for this recognition
of our calling Kings have been prayed for, and
Presidents, and all under them in authority, but
one has heretofore thought it necessary to pray for
Editors perhaps because of crude and utterly mis-
taken notion that they too good to need praying
for. We are willing to admit that this compli-
mentary opinion may have some foundation, but not
enough to establish q rule by any means.

The Eastern Railroad Company has had the good
sense to retain the services of Mr. Prescott, its old
Superintendent, although it is obliged in order to
keep him to pay him salary of $4,000 year. But
the corporation has done better than this for
it has given Mr.. Prescott unrestricted liberty to
manage the road according to his own Judgment.
Heretofore, he has had excellent reputation as q
superintendent, but it is understood that he has
been shamefully hampered and harassed by the mig
gardly policy of the Directors. II he is allowed his
own way, it seems to be the general opinion that
there will be no more frightful accidents on that
road.

It may rot be amiss to remind the friends
of Reform that the Committee of Seventy are
obliged to incur heavy expense in printing
and distributing ballots, &C., for the approach
ing election. They do not purpose appealing
directly to the public for assistance; but they
are fighting the peoples battle, and it is
right that the people should pay the cost. All
who wish to contribute to the fund are in
vited to send what they feel able to give
to Mr.. Emil Sauer, or any other member of
the Committee

We wait with good deal curiosity to see whether
the conviction of Hawkins in Utah will provo the
death-blOw to POlygamy it was meant to be; Or In
decd, any blow at all. By an odd legal whim, the
scales of Justice i'll that much-married community
are placed, not in II blind womans hands, but In
those of a wife whose eyes sure to be either
crooked with jealousy or love. As man can be
indicted for adultery only at the suit of his Wife,
the decision in Hawkinss case has introduced
dilemma of exceedingly nice proportions into every
family circle Every first wife sits down to the
brcakfast-table this morning with the proud con-
sciousness that she can oust at will the whole de-
tested lot of her husbands ainites from under her
roof as Sarah did Hagar but with the slight draw
back of the fact that her Abraham goes with
them: for no man will be likely to return
to the sweetness of loves young dream for
tho elderly Lady who has condemned him to fine and
imprisonment for three or twenty years. After all,
there perhaps practicable rccOmpense for the
Mormon first wives but that ofthis possible revenge;
the affection which has stopped over into dozen
unclean ways cannot be legslated back into its first
fresh fountain; it remains to be seen in how many
resentment will induce the wife to give up the
small part she yet retains of her hold her husband
for the sweets of geance. The number, We
peCt, will be small. The woman who has borne day
after day contact with her rivals in her house,
is not likely to pluck up courage to wage public
fare against them. But the law will be terrible
weapon in the hands of young wives in future, whose
territory is threatened with invasion.

A special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE,
whose letter is printed herewith, tells of his
observations in the fre-swept County of Door,
Wisconsin. 1t is sadly touching to hear of

traversed and it is impossible to read of
the trials of the much-enduring settlers with
out pang of pity for those to whom fate has

The Rev. Mr.. Milburn the Blind Preacher, who
some years since left the Methodist for the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, has gone back to his first
connection We do not find in his letter written to
Bishop BisSel of Vermont any given for this
change. Mr.. Milburn simply says that he took
false STEP and the only right course for him is to
trace his way" At the same time, more polite
letter than this of Mr.. Milburn to the Bishop never
was written and it is queerly subscribed "YOur
obedent servant" whereas the purport of it is that
Mr.. Mburn feels it to be his duty to become diSO-
bcdient servant. He thinks the Episcopal to be an
admirable church, full of sweet, noble, and gOdly
women and men, while the Book of Common Prayer
is equally full of unspeakably precious treasures"
The manifold good influences of the z. E. Church
he trusts will abide with him forever" but, for all
this his heart turns with inexpressible longngs"
to Mcthodisin, the Spiritual Mother, who, under
God bred and made him what he is" If it were not
for these tender and afectioDate words of parting.
we might suppose Mr.. Milburn to be weary Of the
continual squabbling which has made the Episcopal
fold anything but pleasant for nervous sheep.

RESUMPTION.

A correspondent proposes the following rs
"a Safe Road to Specie Paymcnts Time re-
"ouircd, about four years :"
Secretary Boutwell, to give ten days notice, and then
commence paying greenbRcks in gold at the rate OF 80
cents on the dollar, and reduce the discOun Of per
cent per month until full, unconditional resumption Is
achieved
In 1896, amount OF currency OF all kinds to each

lI2 Just 81 gold -Four years from nOw-tho volume

millions greater than nOwthPre will be but little more
than s4 currency for each inhbant Tho merit OF the
above system consists not sj much in Orc0 as re0u-
In,g prico OF gold To prevent accumulation Of gold in
Treasury there various methods which III mention
In my ncYt W.
Comments By The Tribune.
There is exactly one obstacle to Resumption,
to wit: A majority Of our people are arerSe to
IL. If they were not, we should have had 1t
long since. But the majority are and ever will
be debtors, and Resumption would make debts
o little harder to pay or to carry than they
now are: hence, thousands who denOunce and
stgmatize our irrcdCemable currency are really
hostile to a return to Specie Payments, and
act accordingly.
AS WIS plan dOeS EOt even Promlse W CoH-
quer this aversion, it MT worth q button. 1t
amounts in essence to this: He who owes
100000 and pays only the interest shall owe
practically) 100000 one year hence, 100000
two years hence, S1O9,COO three years hence,
and $4,000 four years hence and thereafter.
And the prospect Of that docs MT faScinate
chronic debtors, which most men are.
WIS remedy was devised in contempt of
Mrs. Glass's famous recipe for cooking hare:
" First, catch your hare"
We still adhere to our old and simple prop
ostion-"The true way to Resumption is to
resume" In other words, Let the Govern
ment offer to fund the greenbacks in stock
or bond worth a fraction more than gold, and
then offer to pay them at sight in gold: No
one would present any amount of them for
payment, because they would be worth frac-
ton more to fund so we should have resumed
without knowing it.
As to preventing accumulations of gold IN
the Treasury" there is but one true "mcthod"
which is, Pay your debts with it, That IS
Our way of preventing accumulatiOns of any
kind of funds in our treasury; and we have
never known it to fail.-[ Ed. Irib.

THE SToRM-Rain commenced falling
in this county on Sunday evening and con.
tinued, with slight intermissions, until
Wednesday evening, when it ceased, the
sky became partially clear, and no rain Of
any account has fallen since. Wednesday
afternoon the slow falling rain suddenly
changed into fierce storm, and for about
two hours the rain poured down in perfect
torrents, and the wind seemingly blew from
all points of the compass at the same time:
A Young river of muddy water streamed
down the center of Main Street, and the
Gulch running down by the old Brewery
was overAowed, the seething torrent spread
ing out thirty or forty feet, compelling
pedestrians to go around by the bridge on
High Street in order to cross.
The Sacramento has been too high for
ferry boats TO cross, and we understand that
the Yreka stages have not crossed Jackson's
ferry for three or four days.
We are indebted to Dr. Shurtleff for the
following record of rainfall as indicated BY
his rain gague: Total amount Of rainfall in
the late storm, 1854 inches; total for the
season, % Is inches.
