In Hamilton County, where such large Con-
federate gains were made, it has been dis
closed that naturalization papers were issued
by the hundreds and applicants were sworn in
GROVES. This matter has been referred to the
grand jury by Judge Swayne of the United
States Court. This will account for the Lib
eral gains down there.
They fight duels with double barrel shot
guns in Georgia. That is Greeley State, and
Ku Klux disorders, negro assassinations, and
white murders are among the pastimes of its
people. Read the article upon "Reconcila-
tion," which we print on the outside of this
paper, and Liberal Republicans and Demo
Gratis can then vote for Greeley understanding
ly.
Dutchman and an hishman once met on
a lonely highway. AS they met each smiled,
thinking he knew the other Pat, on seeing
his mistake, remarked: "Faith, an thought
itwas you, an you thought it was me, an it's
naythur of u.s." The Dutehman replied,
YaW, dat is dhru; 1 am annudder man, and
you is not yourself; we both some other pod
ies."
A rather amusing incident happened few
nights since at the Grand Opera House, New
York, during the performance of "Roi Carrot
te." In one portion of the play the King
cries, in despsiling accents, "How shall nd
myself of this accursed money!" when some
one in the gallery called out, "Bet on Gree
leyP The play was not resumed for few
minutes.
The National Board of Trade calls on banks
to discourage loans to parties engaged in cor
ners by exa citing such securities as will confue
their transactions within their means. Tbis is
good thing, aud we hope the matter will be
pressed by business men and bankers, unit,
these villainous combinations for public rob
berry are greatly restricted if they can't be
stopped,
In the seven States that have already held
elections, the Republicans have gained the
small matter of fifteen Congressman, notwith-
standing the fact the Greeley arithmeticians
figure Democratic triumphs out Of the late
elections. A few more such triumphs will be
death to them, and make the Forty-third Con-
gress Republican by more than two-thirds
majority.
The vast coal fields of England are said to
be giving signs of exhaustion. The possibility
of their eventual failure to supply the immense
demand from British manufactures has long
been discussed in the Light of an approaching
calamity. So careful are they in drawing up
on these mines just now, that recently they
sent quite a number of large orders to this
country for coal needed in East Iadia and 9TH
er colonial possessions.
4 man named Oval had boil on his hand
and he also had friend. He met the friend
and clasped hands over bloody chasm, for
the friend hurt the boil, Oval boiled with rage,
and drawing a dagger stabbed his friend Con
nor to death, which all happened at Grand
Lower, Illinois, on the 10th. Oval is nursing
his boil in Jail, and awaiting acquittal on the
grounds of temporary insanity. Don't get
boils, or don't squeeze hands. 1t is bad mat

Prince Frederick Henry Albert who died at
| Berlin ON Tuesday the 18th, was brother of
Emperor William of Germany. He was a
younger son of King Frederick William Ill Of
Prussia, and of the Princess Louise of Meek
lenburg-Strenlitz, being brother of the EN-
peror William and of the late King Frederick
William ". He was born on the l4th of Oc-
tobsr, 1909, and in 1880 was married to a
daughter of the King of Holland, by whom he
leaves son and daughter.
A colored cadet has entered the Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis, without being insulted at
every turn he made, and tortured whenever
good opportunity offered. The poor fellow
seems to have been very modest in his actions,
and never asked for roommate, which is the
usual course pursued on entering by the ca
diets. He took his place at the dinner-table
between white classmates, and everything
passed off quietly and honorably to all concern
ed. It takes time to do away with the old pre-
iudice against color, but it is dying effectualIy
Mr.. A Boyd Henderson, the American ar
rested in Havana and imprisoned by order Of
the Chief of Police on suspicion of being in
league with the Cuban patriots has been re-
leased. He was examined on Friday by the
authorities and then PAINTED to leave Jail.
It is not known yet what were the charges
against Mr.. Henderson, and it is probable that
they were entirely groundless. he is the cor
respondent of the New York Herald and was
sent to Cuba for the purpose of making tour
of the island and writing up history of the
rise, progress and present condition of the pat
riot cause.
The New York Tribune insists upon the In
dana election as Liberal victory. We do not
know that it does this from an uncomfortable
desire to misrepresent or merely for the want
of a grain of sense to distinguish between de-
feat and victory. In 1870 the entire Demo-
cratic State ticket was elected by maiorities
ranging from 2600lto 3l00 In the Legislature
the Democrats had majority of two in the
Senate and six in the House. These figures
we take from the Tribune almanac of 1871.
In the recent election the Republicans secured
the entire State ticket with the exception of
Governor, have majority of four in the Sem
ate and eight in the House, and gained three
Congressman. If that is Liberal Democratic
victory we are willing to be defeated in every
State in the Union.
The tropical island Of Jamaica which has
been so long regarded as a savage wilderness,
beneath the rule of indolent and barbarous
free blacks, is rapidly improving and promises
beneath the able rule of its present Governor,
Sir Peter Grant, to become one of the first
gardens OF the world. Its main curse, vagran-
cy, is rapidly being ersdicated, the Govern
ment having given squatters advantageous
leases of the abandoned estates, with excellent
effect. The island is one vast tropical garden
of 2, ,72O, 600 acres which, with intelligent cul-
tivation, will produce all the tropical fruits,
coffee, mahogany, hemp, grass, the arrowroot
plant, sugar, ETC.. etc. While few years ago
all was chaos and bankruptcy, it now has a
respectable surplus of income over expendi-
tures, the public debt has been reduced and
its more complete development goes success
fully on.
The authorities in New York are determin-
cd to bring the Tsmmany thieves to trial, and
and new indictments have been found against
