A Word to Country Newspa-
DerS.

The Cleveland Herald makes the fol-
lowing truthful observation concerning
country papers and the duty ofgiving them
wholesome support:
The local paper is an absolute necessi-
ty to the county and community where it
is published. All the city papers can
not supply the place of the home paper.
That should be the first love of every
man and woman, for with the paper is the
locality identified. The paper gives the
county and town where printed much of
their Importance in the world, and gives
in detail the local news, which cannot be
gained by any other source. Every days
issue of the paper is so much local histo-
~, and the rise, growth and development
of the town and county can be measured
and recorded only by the local newspaper
that is constantly gathering its items. Peo-
pie do not properly appreciate their home
newspaper. They measure a paper too
much by the number of columns it con-
tains. The home paper at any price is
the cheapest paper n can take, for in it
is found the information to be obtained
from no other source.
Another thing to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. Every county has one or more
newspapers. Hence, circulation of each
must be limited. There is therefore the
greatest need of activity and interest on
the part of the people to give their own
good paper vigorous, and substantial sup

standpoint. it shows how satan is working
out his most dangerous designs, through a

from the pen of one of our ablest Medi-
cal Professors, 1t deals directly with evils
from which spring physical and moral de-
graduation, social discord and domestic in

Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The State
has the following from Mr..
Moran, acting Minister to England, dated
this morning:
THE German Ambassador here has
officially informed me that the capitula-
ton of the Paris forts and in armistice
for three weeks by sea and land was sign
ed about 8 o'clock last night, at Versailles,
by Count Bismarck and NJ. Rules Favre.
The army of Paris remain prisoners of war
in Paris, but it is not known whether they
are to be disarmed or not. No details
have been received. Count Bernstein
thinks it important that the fact that the
armistice extends on the sea should be
made known as widely as possible"

Editorial Correspondence.

A0ASAACA
WASHINGTON d. c., Jan. 30.-The
only event of Importance to the people of
the first Congressional District, that has
t~ranspired since our arrival in the Federal
City, is the trial of Hon. r. r. Butler,
which took place on Friday last. Details
of the trial, collected from the daily press
of the City, have been forwarded to you.
The result was just what every one with
whom we conversed on the subject, SEEM
ed to expect. The examination of several
witnesses on the part of the Government,
developed nothing of Importance against
Mr.. Butler. The notorious character of
these witnesses and their manner of Civ
Ing their evidence, served to convince eve
~ one that there was nothing in the case.
There we're but few witnesses examined
for the defence, as the Court informed the
Attorney General that there was not the
slightest foundation flor a charge of forge
~, and instructed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty. On the second
charge the Attorney General, after con-
versing with some of the witnesses, in
formed the Court that he was satisfied
there was no grounds for the prosecution,
and he was allowed to enter a nOUie pros
equi in the case. The presiding Judge in
closing the case. severely censured the
government officials for the part they had
taken in pushing forward an unnecessary
prosecution. The cost of the prosecution
was over ten thousand dollars.
At the hotel where We are stopping
we met Hon. Joe Powell, of Tennes-
see, late United States Consul to the
Falkland Islands. He is looking in fine
health and time has made but little i'm
preston on him since we last saw him.
MI. Powell is a gentleman of the old
school, and we were very agreeably en-
tertained with the account he gave of his
sojourn in the Falkland Islands, and the
manner and customs in that isolated spot.
In congress the most important measure
that has passed is the bill allowing twen-
ty per cent additional pension for the next
five years to all those now on the rolls of
the pension office. Several other impor-
tant bills concerning pensions, are under
consideration by Congress, with a fair
prospect of being passed.
We called upon Senator Brownlow,
whom we found at his hotel, seemingly in
better health than he has enjoyed for sew
eral years. He received us with great
courtesy and kindly rendered us his as
sistanco in prosecuting any business we
might have in Washington. The people
of East Tennessee have no truer friend
than Senator Brownlow. Every measure
introduced for the benefit of Tennessee
ans at once %illicits his attention and calls
forth all his energies in its support. We
also called upon Hon. Horace Maynard
and Hon. w. f. Prosser, who received US
with great kindness. Both these gentle
men are an honor to the State they repse-
sent. We shall write you more in erten-
so next week. w.

HON. II. IL. RUTLER.

After a long series of Ubiquitous and
persistant prosecutions by his implacable
enemies, Hon. r. r. Butler, has been most
honoraly acquitted. This is a triumph Of
right and justice, which is a proud grati6-
cation to his many warm and steadfast
friends, as well as a complete vlndication
ofhis assailed character to which he can look
back in future years with pride and pleas.
ure. We know of no public man who has
been more unrcAtlingly hound and bitter
ly and unscrupulously illuminated. Every
accusation hat could tarnish his name, he
has had to endure. But the shafts of de-
traction have missed their mark. All the
devices and aims of hate have been frus-
tratcd, and all the ends of truth been full
ly attained. Judge Butler has ever been
a faithful, honest, and efficient representa-
tive, and reflects honor upon his district.
Judge Wiley, who tried the case. in dis
charging him said, "there was not a shad-
ow of ground for prosecution, and that it
was an outrage" He also made the Gov
ernmant pay the cost. The people of the
nation before whom Judge Butler was ar
raigned. will be abundantly satisfied with
this verdict, and confidence in the Judges
integrity and fair-dealing will be restored
in the minds of those who may have
thought that the grave charges preferred
against him were correct. At the same
time they will utterly detest those whose
malignities have become 50 conspicuous in
this prosecution. The whole affair proves
TO what excuses some will 60 in order to
accomplish the downfall of their fellow
Saen. and blast their reputation.

Frauds.

Frauds.
We understand that large %swindling
operations in County Warrants, in John
son County, have been going on for some
time. Some Warrants were changed from
three to thirty dollars, and a considerable
number were paid two or three times
They were cancelled by drawing a slight
pencil mark across the back, which was
easily erased and again put in circulation.
A committee of investigation, appointed
by the County, report that the County is
loser by these swindles to the amount OF
six thousand dollars.

Wanted-The owners Of S7OO.

On the 9th OF July. 1868, John White
wrote from Memphis, Tenn, to George S.
Thompson, claim agent at Springfield, ILL.,,
requesting the latter to collect the back
pay of himself and brother William, as
soldiers in the Eleventh Illinois Regiment,
at the same time enclosing his discharge
papers. The letter stated that they had
been in the hospital a long time, and clos
ed thus: ''We start for home this evening
in company that will help us along SO /
want you to get our money as soon as pos
sible, and send it to Capt. James K. Mar
tin. Bunton House. Terre Haute, Ind,
and he will fetch it to u.s." The letter
miscarried, so as not to reach the agent
until a month later, when the money was
collected, amounting to about 800. and
sent by the American Express Company.
Neither the Whites nor Martin could be
found, and the Express Company, after
advertising the package for some time.
sent it to their principal officer in this city.
