The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Chronicle has a
paragraph which we cannot find it
in our heart to omit, as Judge
Thurman's friends here at home
may never hear it but for US. We
quote from fridays paper:
Judge Thurman. since his elo-
ouent defense Of Sumner, is in re-
ceipt of great quantities Of letters
and telegrams from the Democratic
cross roads the country over, giving
him particular fits for Laying said
anything in behalf of the id
bloody old Abolitionist." Thur
man lets on that he doesn't care,
but this is not human nature as de-
veloped in a candidate for the
Presidency. He tried TO console
himselfby going about with Sum
ner and drinking good deal of
his old wine, Of which Sumner has
great quantities in his cellar, more
antique than his pictures, and Of
excellent flavor. Thurman told
Sumner after one of these drin-
king bouts that he never knew be-
fore what's devlish good fellow he
was, and tis said that before they
separated an ahectionate embrace
was INDUCED in, ] do not vouch
for this story, and I've no doubt
it is correct
If we have been instrumental in
any degree in stirring up these tel
egraphing Democrats, by our COM
ments upon the entente cordiale
existing between our distinguished
Democratic friend and the great
old Abolition Senator, we will
cheerfully chronicle the first dis
turbance that occurs, as the only
reparation in our power to make.

We have taken little interest in
the San Domingo question, and
still regard it is one whereon hon
est men and good patriots may fair
Iy differ. The primary question is
one of fact; DO the people OF
the Dominican Republic really de.
sire annexation to the United
States ?" If they do, we incline to
receive them into our Union; If
they do not, we strongly object to
annexing them by force. We want
no acquisitions of territory where.
Of the people prefer to keep apart
from us. And we have heartily
supported Senator Morton's propo-
sition, because its adoption seemed
to us calculated to shed light on the
vital question.-New York 1rt-

LONDON IN

LONDON Jan s.
A telegram from Versailles to the
Times, to day, says: The Ameri-
can Consul has been permitted to
leave Paris, and has arrived here.
The Prnssian guns could easily
shell the city. Several houses in
Paris are on fire. There has APP
parently, not been much firing to-
day. The French redoubt at Notre
Dame Declamart has been occupied
by the Prussians, and its fire turned
against the French. There are no
indications of a sortie. The Prus
SLAMS losses are still Insignificant"
Another correspondent at Yer
sailles, on the 7th, telegraphs that
the bombardment of the forts on
the southern side Of Paris is stead
ily continued; that the fire of the
French having slackened, il is sup
posed that several guns in the
forts are dismounted. The wealth
er is favorable for siege operations.
A correspondent at Margency
says that Forts Kosny and Nogent
have suffered severely, and that it
is believed there are no French in
fantry outside Of the Notifications
on the east and northeast.
Paris is active, and offensive
operations are expected immedi-
ately.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 9,-Evening

The Senatorial Fight IN missouri'
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.
AS both Houses of the Legisla-
ture have adjourned until Monday,
large numbers left for home to-
night. The principal Senatorial
candidates and their friends remain,
and will continue their work to-
morrow with unabated energy. 1t
is reported Judge Norton has with
drawn, and that Gen, Craig and
Judge Woodson have agreed that
the one receiving the smallest vote
in caucus shall withdraw in favor
of tho other, but there is not much
reliance to be placed on these ru-
mors.
1t is certain, however, that the
lines are closing, and that the real
fight will be between Blair, Glover
and Phelps, Blair is undonbt-
edly ahead, but Gloyers friends are
confident of success and are work
ing like beavers 1t is also said
the Democrats will not caucus for
Senator, but will go into joint meet
ing with the hope that they may
obtain the support Of few Liber-
ais or regular Republicans who
would not 60 into caucus with
them, and also to escape the risk of
primary caucus. Judge Wagner
is the only prominent Republican
candidate, and his friends are con
fldent Of success, believing that the
combination between the Demo.
Gratis end a few Liberals and Radi-
calls was effected to control the or
ganization of the House, and will
not vote in the Senatorial contest.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT The
attention of farmers IS particularly directed
to the Agricultural department Of the GA
zETTE, which is specially in the Weekly
edition. This contains, to q large extent,
an interchange of views between practical
men, which is proving interesting and
valuable, and has, during the last year,
been universally commended by our sub
seri6ers. The information thus obtained
from practical men, and disseminated
throug gh the colums of the GAZETTE, is Of
more real value than volumes that are
written on agricultural subjects by mere
theorists. The man who does thing is
far more capable of telling how it is done
than the man who gets all his knowledge
from books, and knows nothing about
practical farming. Our agricultural read
ers regard this department Of the GA8EFrR
