THE MODERN COMMENTARIES ON THE
GALLO WAR.


A FULL, TRUE AND PARTICULAR NARRATIVE OF
THE VICTORIES OF TIE FRENCH ARMIES.

may be relied upon possessing much accuracy as
ordinary history. But in justice 10 readers, we
present below q chronicle of the war collated
from The Ne,r- York DOyld, derived from sources
unknown TO earthly journalism, and exhibiting
vivid picture OF the capabilities Of the newspaper
of the period, when freed from the gToveling re-
straints Of fact We have The high authority Of the
Editor Of The Uorld for saying that the Gable dis
patches to that paper at once the fullest and most
truthful ever transmitted 10 periodical in any part
of the globe. How wonderful, then, must be the al
ohemy of the editorial brain that can evolve from
the cOoreSs facts of the day this gorgeous and ri-

For the first five weeks % the campaign The World
fortunately had dispatches except those obtained
from the Associated Press bought from THE TRIBUNE

Eprroa CHrF-Deay Sir: Nothing has
transpi red, since my stjourn in your pleasant
and thriving young city. to cause me 50 much
pain as the defeat Of the school house bonds;
and the more burning Is the shama. when am
made to realize that the clergy Of the place
used their influence to defeat 60 noble work
Why, sir, can bu, express my astonishment
that men Who are striving to educate the heart,
should use their efforts to overthrow q measure
to educate the head" Religion. true rel-
gion, will never oppose education. do not
say that education is religion, but religion Is
education. Wherever the gospel has been
most prosperous. there education has flourish
ed. When it has been presented to the hea.
then, education has paved the way. Remove
education, aDe you destroy. to great extent,
the powers of the gospel. But our brethren
may say, 1--WE do not oppose education.' %
But the Apostle James would reply, "Show
me your faith without your works, aud will
show you nv faith by my works."
That the idea may not prevail with your
readers that aH religionisrs Of White Cloud are
opposed to the progress of education. l wish to
state that. rs minister Of the gospel. was,

have School House that will be both au hon.

Exrr.-Ths 4lst Congress expired on
the 4,h inst. With it went out two msn
who have kept up . stir in Ksnras for the
past few years. E. G. Ross retires from
the Senate. and Sidney Clarke from the
Hosse. With their retirement. it is to
be hoped. the personal character Of Kan
sss politics will subside, and adhesion or
opposition to the personal aud political
fortunes of certain individuals will no
longer be the standard Of loyalty to the
Republican party. We belisvs the new
msmb,rs will work for the interest of the
State, rather than to build up rings and
fsctioas for their own benefit. and will
thus render themselves stronger with the
pople than il their sole aim had been to
fortify themselves at the public expense.
II they do this. the people will sustain
them; If not. they will soon travel the
road that now bears the fresh footprints
OF Ross and Clarke.

Our New Senator.

The Philsdelphia Press. edited by John
W. Forney. thus speaks of the new Sen.
atoi:
Hon. Alexander Caldwell, last week
elected Uaitei States Senstor from Kan.
sss. is native of Columbis, Lancaster
county. in this State. He was ct one
time cashier of the Bank of Columbia.
At the time Of the Mormon troubles,
during Mr.. Buchansn's administration.
Mr.. Caldwell took active charge of tbs
transportation Of army supplies to Utah.
the contract for which was held BY the
late Henry S. Magnsw.. Col STAN bsugh.
james N. Reynolds and others. Of Lsu-
caster county. These gentlemen selscted
Mr.. Caldwell. then Q very yong man. on
account of tho business tact and energy
di.plsyed dnriug bis service in the bank.
This was bis first grand opportunity. and
bis success has amply vindica'ed the ss-
gacity and knowledge Of character dis
played in the selection. Given . posi-
ton where his executive ability aud ad-
ministrative power had free play. he soon
pushed the hazardous enterprise of his
employers bevond even their ssngnine ex
pcctations. 1t il due to these gentlemen
to say that their generosity IN sppreci-
atipg the services of Mr.. Caldwell was
not less than his intelligence and zeal.
and he laid in his short association with
them the foundation of the very substsn
tial fortune which We believe he now en-
joys. Subsequently to this enterprise he
settled ct Lesvenwortb. Kansas, where
he took prominent part in public stfairs.
He hss been president Of two Of the lead
ing rsilrosd companies Of kausss. and
with nearly every great move
ment for the advancement of the interests
Of his adopted State. He is . man Of
much energy and good business qusliE.
cations. and hss been succssful in every
Thing be ever undertook.

Verdict Against n Liquor Seller.

The Cambridge Ohio Times gives the
following account of . case lately tried in
the Gurnsey county common pleas court.
Mrs. Watt being plaintiff and Samuel
Boyd defendant:
"Ths plaintiff is the widow Of Dr.. s.
w. Wsu. at ono time prominent ply.
sician and surgeon. and an ex-represent..
tive Of this county, who died about the
18th Of September. 1869. from the effects
of intoxication. She set forth in her
petition that her husbsn had an ext.n-
sive and lucrative practice which enabled
him to provide . comfortable support for
bis family prior to the defendant That
since about the 1st of April. 1865, her
husband was in the habit of being iutox-
icated. and go continued until the time OF
his death. That the defendant continued
during oil Of this time to sell and deliver
to him intoxicating liquors. in Quantities
from one pint to one quart. causing him
to become habi'ual drunk ard. anil inca.
psble Of attending to any kind Of busi-
ness; and that the plaintiff was therefore
compelled to attend upon him. nurse him.
and provide for his support, aud for the
support Of herself and family: md the
same caused his estate TO be fqnsndsred
end resnlted in his death. and therefore
the plaintiff. the widow Of the deceased.
has been deprived of the means Of support
for herself and minor chill, and that she
has been compelled to resort to daily labor
for the same. and claims tat she has
been damaged to the amonnt Of SIS 600.
for which she asks judgment at the hands
Of the jury.
"After argument by abe counsel on
both sides. the case was given to the iary

after an absence of sbout thirty minutes.

THE ANNUAL SSARL There are some
papers in Kansas. that make It in On in.
variable practice. upon the adjournmen,
Of the Legislature. to bid it farewell with
. growl. to depreciste its lsbors. and to
express gratitude that it hes ceased to ex
let. They seem to regard this as . piecs
Of snsrtness. that will be especially pleas.
ing to tbs people generally. Among the
papers indu'gius themselves 10 this an use
ment. is the Leavenworth Times. which
renders thanks. with particular gusto.
for the adjournment Of the Legislature.
which. iE its view, has not done single
good act except in sdjourning. We
really cannot blame the Times much for
its exhibition Of spleen. for the Legisla,
ture has been singulsrly stubborn 10 re-
fusing to follow it's advice. A United
States Ssnstor wss elected. in the face O!
the most bitter opposition Of the Times.
and the Legislature continued to grind
slong without the aid or approval Of thet
sheet.
But notwithstanding the lelt-bandsd
compliments of the Times and other pa
pers. the Legislature passed . number Of
good laws. and did some very important
work. Even If it had done nothing else.
It did one thing thst the over burdened
taxpayers will not censure it for. 1t re.
doced the State tax almost one half. and
still kept it high enough to preserve the
credit Of the State.
