A STRAw.-Among the charter

more than the usual amount of politi-
cal significance is the election at Madi-
son, Tuesday of last week, for munich

mated complete tickets throughout, and
party lines were drawn into their sup
port. The result was the election Of
the Republican city ticket, headed by
James L. Hill, for Mayor, by MAORI.
ties ranginglfrom 200 to 295. Last fall
Madison gave 1l8 Democratic major
ity. It is not SO surprising, therefore
that the Republicans shoald fesl SO ju
bilant over their triumph, and that the
Journal should bring out all the game
ROSTERS in the Office to crow at the tor
of the columns when announcing SO
glorious victory.

The Cooper Institute, New York
was immensely thronged ION last Fri.
day evening, by an audience assembled
to hear a lecture from Father Tom
Burke, a Dominican friar from Dublin
and as many as three thousand people
went away, unable to obtain access to
the Hall. Father Burke has created
an immense sensation through the city

A JUVENILE TELEaRApH.-Quite
an interesting feature of juvenile en-
terprise is exhibited in the Cream City
(Milwaukee) Telegraph Company,
organized in October last by several in
tell;gent lads of that city. They have
in operation line of ten blocks, or
four miles, the copper wire costing
about 81 so per mile The apparatus
of the company consists of twenty-fv @
cups, fifteen for the main battery and
ten for local batteries, and ten Morse
instruments. The line was put up for
practice and pleasure, and it proves
very convenient i'll stormy nights, en-
abling the boys to converse with each

THAT SALE OF ARMS.

1t is quite evident from the proceed
ings before the investigation Commit
tee, appointed by Congress to inquire
into the alleged sale of arms by our
Government to France, during the re-
cont struggle between that country and
Germany, that Messrs. Schurz and
Sumner will make nothing out of the
affair. Several important facts were
brought out on Monday before the
committee
1t appears that before the arms IN
question were sold to Franco they had
been offered to Germany by tho parties
that had purchased them of our Gov
eminent. This testimony is quite i'm
pOrtant as showing that it vas no put
up Job, that the arms should be sold
to France alone. Other testimony,
equally as damaging to the accusers of
the Government in this affair." was ellc-
tied TO the effect that not one cent was
paid to any of our Government officials
in connection with the transaction; and
that if the same arms were now on
hand our Government could not sell
them at one-half the figures, Rem ing
ington and other purchasers paid for
them.
This whole matter is looming up in
to the proportions of a vast maro's nest,
and Scburz, Sumner 4 Co., will find
that they have only injured themselves
in pursuing the course they have in
this business. They have made no
poiot against the administration, and
tho more they investigate the more is
our Government exonerated from all
blame

Brigham and His Daughters.

Brigham has GO children, about 40
of whom are female. They are of all
ages, from three years to thirty. He
is the father of good deal OF talent,
and some of his children will be heard
of in the world hereafter. Last night

learned that she was daughter of
Brigham, and one of the five wives of
Ell. B. Clawson. The later being a
man of wealth and standing. and de.
voted Mormon, has married two of
.righam's daughters, in addition to
his other three wives. Isn't that a
curious way to do 1t certainly is to
us Gentiles but to the Mormons it is
all perfectly correct and proper. In
several of the states man is prohibit
ed from marrying his dead wife's sister
but here in Utah it is as much the
style two sisters at once besides having
several other wives. Many of Brig
hams children are handsome and low
able. Those by one of his wives, Mrs.
Decker. are particularly so. He pro

to marry, Brigham being opposed to
the match because the young man who
loved his daughter also loved lager

match and keep his daughter at home,
but his house has so many doors to it
that he could not watch them all at
once, and she got away. IF this teaches

THE POLITICAL CAULDRoN. The
New York World of the 9th inst, says
that while the New York response to
the call for Liberal Convention
was hardly in time to influence the
Connecticut election, yet that election
was not unpromising to the Democracy.
It asserts that there is hope that
that the Cincinnati Convention may
shape the future politics of the
country. The New York call is to be
followed by mass meeting of "Llber-
aP' Republicans at the Cooper Institute
next Friday, at which it is understood
that Senators Schurz and Trumbull
will speak, Senator Summers friends
think that in a few days he will public
" commit himself to the Cincinnati
movement. The World thinks that
one essential which the 'Liberals" need
is boldness. Professor Arthur Lath-
am Perry and Horace Greedy had a
discussion, last evening at 'Liber:T'
club, on free-trade and kind red sub

al experiment. A single experiment In
science establishes the theory: and In the
same way, be must have, in the spiritual
realms, the same kind of evidences he finds
IN the physical. He therefore proposes
prsyer-gauge to test the efficacy of prayer
he asks permission to make an attempt at
quantitatiVe measurement of Gods acces-
sibiiity to prayer. The request is unrea-
sonable, inasmuch as it is supremacy IN
scientific to test spiritual benefit by ma
terial gauge. There are two kingdoms
the kingdom Of science and the kingdom
Of Grace. The laws of the tive kingdoms
are not the same; nor. are they gained in
the same way Scientific theories, Ia the
one, are established by observstive ex-
pertinent, while in the other,
moral and religious truths are sustained BY
an entirely different kind of evidence. Ger.
tain conditions must be complied with; and
surely no scientist would expect an expert
ment to succeed unless the preliminary con-
ditions were fulfilled. The doctrine of
prayer is altogether above and beyond
science; It belongs to the realms of scrip
ture; and to scripture only the christian
looks for the laws of prayer. We pray be-
cause we are commanded to pray; Because
we expect God TO grant what we pray for,
so far as IL may be agreeable to his viii and
our own good. Prayer is, if it is anything
at all, communion with God; and free COM
lnunion with God necessarily excludes the
desire to dictate the answer. The child of
God leaves al. ia the hands Of his Heavenly
Father. He knows best what to give, what
to withhold; AMI oftentimes He gives more
than we ask for. He is more generous than
we dared to believe. He gives us joy; He
gives Us liberty; He gives us victory; He
gives us sense of self conquest, and of
union with Himself in an eternal friendship.

The New Orleans Picqvune reports as
folowa:
It is now beyond doubt that the late cold
spell has done immense damage TO the gu
gar cane. As far down as the Parish of st,
Charles, we are reliably informed, there
was ice on Friday and Saturday night a
quarter of an inch thick. Even In the
Parish of Plaquemines the weather was so
cold that the top Of the cane is certainly
killed. In the upper parishes the damage
must have been very great. What the pre-
else effect OF this may be upon the sugar
crop Is yet question Of doubt. Should the
weather continue cold planters may be able
to grind up large proportion of the cane,
and thus make pretty fair yield; but II a
warm spell should follow the cane will sour,
and sugar cannot be made from 1t thereal-
ter. On the whole, however, It does not
seem probable that anything like IS good a
crop as was expected short time SINGS can
be made. Some parties even estimate the
loss at $4,000 bogsheads. Grinding COM
menced pretty late, owing to the election,
so that there is an unusually large amount
of cane left In the field for this season Of the
year.
This calamity 10 our sugar planters Is
very unfortunate. This interest seems TO
have been under ban ever since the war,
A manful struggle has been made year
after year to reinstSte the great industry TO
its former position, but nnpropitious sea-
sons have kspt down the crop TO small pro-
portions. 1t is very doubtful whether such
a series Of bad crop years as those since
1864 has ever been experienced. Many
planters are wholly disheaTtened already,
and, if the worst reports now coming to
hand be correct, it is not improbable that
many may abandon the culture of this
staple and turn their attention TO some
more certain product.

A rReUBLEsOmE rOsrMAsrEs.

Iney are having lively time In the Gov
iDgton lky.) Postofice. Jesse r. Grant,
father Of the President, Is the postmaster;
but, owing to bis inability through sickness
TO attend TO his duties, Mr.. STAFFORD Ess-
ton was, last January, appointed special
agent, with instructions from the President
TO discharge all the duties of postmaster,
and be held responsible for the management
Of the oftice. Mr.. Easton took possession
during Mr.. Grants illness, and at once Or
dered several needed improvements and al
tersttons. When the venerable postmaster
recovered sufficiently to visit the office, he
soundly berated Mr.. Ea.ton for the expen-
diture he had made, and upon the latter re-
monstrailng against the violent epithets
shoWered upon him, Mr. Grant lifled his
cane and struck him. After that, matters
were quleted down for time, although Mr..
Easton mas repeatedly expressed his deter
minat1on 70 resign rather than be subjected
to Mr.. Grants irascible temper. On Sat-
urday last the quarrel broke out afresh. Mr..
Grant renewed bis attack upon Mr.. EastoD,
demanding his Withdrawal from the office.
In an interview with reporter ofthe Gin
cinnsti Commercial, Mr.. Easton said be did
not think Mr.. Grant would resign, although
the President wished him to do so. In re-
spouse to an inquiry as 10 the probability of
the President removing his father, MI.
EastJn said:
"Really, sir,I do not know. l hardly
think the President will remove his father,
though he may. He Is very peculiar
man, when he once gets his head set, and
ten times as obstinate as bis sire. He
would doubtless prefer that the old gentle
-, 1sHG, 81
ration of his present term, as | would, If
HI could be made TO behave himself. But
his retention is now become public scan
dial, ami no one, am convinced, feels 1t
more than the President. For my own
part, am under heavy bonds to do my
duty, and must remain, however unwil-
lingly. am certainly in a most uncomfor-
table position, and wonld gladly escape from
1t if could"
The following letter was written BY the
President when Mr.. Easton first rendered
his resignation:
"EXECUTIvE MANSION, WASHINGTON
CITY, Sept. 4, 1872.-My dear Mr. Easton:
l have just received your letter inclosing
your resignation as Special Agent In charge
of the Covington Postoffice, with she ress-
ons therefor. beg you to suspend action
IN the matter for the present. Iregret very
much that my father should attempt to in
terfere in your management Of the office. l
shall write him at oDce to desist, and TO
send me bis resignation, as l am satisfied
he will never again be competent to dis
charge the duties Of the Office. Very truly
your friend, u. S. GRANT"
The indianapolis Journal, Grant organ,
says: "But the old man, like his son, is
obstinate, and refuses to resign. Evident
ly his early training was neglected, or he
wouldn't give Ulysses 50 much trouble In
his old age"
