LETTER FROM MICHIGAN BLUFF.
MICHIGAN BLUFF, May 9th, 1872

MICHIGAN BLUFF, May 9Th, 1872.
Mr.. EDIroR. A favorable Winter, with
out the aid of legislative interposition, has
caused the people of this part of the divide
to bless their stars for being located in a
place where the seasons are divested of the
rigors and annoyanccs incident to less favored
localities. Mining has been pushed ahead
vigorously and systematically during the
past Winter and Spring, with good results,
the yield exceeding that of many former
seasons.
We had a school party on the evening of
the 3D., which was attended by the "youth,
beauty and fashion" of the divide. The
generous citizens of the Bluff availed them
selves of the occasion to present Miss Guess
young lady, with a lady's enameled cased
gold watch as a token of their appreciation
and esteem. The presentation of the ex-
qusic gem was made by the Hon. John
Yula in few happy and well timed remarks,
and appropriately responded to by the fair
recipient. The party was success and
every body felt pleased and joyous.
The nominee of the Cincinnati Convention
astonished few Democrats: the Reform
Republicans, of which there are quite a
number here, are satisfied with the result.
1t is hard to account why dissatisfaction should
crop out now; the timber used in the struct-
ure of the platform is sound, embodying
every principle we have been contending
for for some time back AS the time honored
motive Of the Democracy is principles, not
men, there is here an opportunity presented
to Democrats and honest Republicans to
unite and hurl from power and place, Mr..
Grant and his villainous cohorts. The re-
form movement is steadily gaining strength,
and, without some fatal blunder on the part
of our leaders, the Government will soon
again be administered by honest and capa-
BILE statesmen. TERRAB.

BUSINESS LICENSES. Revenue Collectors
request us to say that under the new revenue
code business licenses must be taken out
before any business requiring license can be
done, and that it is made the duty of persons
desiring licenses to call on the proper col
lector and obtain such licenses. If this
duty is neglected the collectors must prose-
cute deinquents, which will make heavy
expenses in costs and penalties. 1t is i'm
possible for collectors to hunt out and visit
persons to collect these licenses. Retail
liquor and peddler's licenses must be paid
every month, and all others every three
months. All persons should give this notice
strict attention and thereby save money.
