MSS ANNA e. DICKINSON.

The Commercial! treats our reference TO the
conduct Of the manager of the "People's Course
toward Miss Anna E. Dickinson cavalieriy, and
evidently shows a characteristic want OF feeling
TOR the position in whch it has placed this t"i-
entea and high spirited young lady 1t says
.,The remarks of the Gd=ette, yesterday, on the
subject of Miss Dickinson and her ponticai posi-
tlon. strike US as ridiculous. In fact, however
the Gazette always was triae daft concerning
that lady and her lectures
That may be the opinion Of the Comnere'af'
and it NAV continue TO entertain 1t. But It cer-
tainly is not concurred in by Miss Dickinson, who
has taken up the glove" thrown down BY the
editor, and in the spirit Of true womanly pluck
replies in a letter elsewhere published III the
presen, issue OF the GAZETTE. some friend, we
presume, having sent her copy OF our paper
We are, however. somewhat at q loss to know
what the Commercial means BY connecting the
GAzErrE with this ladys lectures in the manner
it does.
The GAZETTE certainly never referred with
rudeness to Miss D's lectures although 1t differed
wholly with her political sentiments But at the
same time it utterly impossible for US not to
admire the genius, talent and power with which
she used the gifts SO lavishly bestowed upon her,
as did also the mass OF the people who focked to
hear her.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

The minority Of the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads. consisting of
Messrs. Van Trump, Randall and Carroll
haye submitted their report on the conduct of
Postmaster.General Creswell in the letting of
mail contracts in July last. In this report
they conclusiyely show the futility of all at
tempts to whtewash the ofhcial action of tn e
member of the Cabinet who has gained his
most recent celebrity through certain associa-
tions with party of the name of Chorpen-
nlng.
The report sustains the charges which have
been repeatedly made in the Sun, that the ad.
ministration of the Post Once Department
under Creswell has been characterized by IA
vortism which is entirely without excuse and
it further shows that the Postmaster-General
in making his contracts, has exhibited the
same contempt for the restrictions of the laws
that has been manifested in other departments
of the Government under the existing lawless
Administration Not only have the customs
hitherto observed been disregarded, but the
express terms of statutes have been violated
upon the most 1limsy pretence, in order to give
favored contractors the control of routes at
their own prices. straw bids at low rates have
been accepted and when these fictitious or
irresponsible bidders have failed to fulfil their
contracts, the Postmaster -Genelal, instead of
taking the next lowest reasonable bid ha
thrown out the proposals of all competing bid
drrs, thus involving the employment Of TEN
porary service at large additional cost In

ment of $2OO, 900.
1t is matter Of notoriety In the Southwest
that contracts for carrying the mail have been
extensively used as a reward for political SER
vices, without regard to the interest of the
Government and that large numbers of dis.
reputable politicians, who are all earnestly In
favor of Grants reelection, have thus been
provided for without their performing any
service whatever. Creswell, like some other
heads of departments, has chosen to put his
own construction upon the meaning OF laws,
and has thus practically nulli6ed the solemnly
enacted acts of Congress. The report says
the expenditures in the land service have
been reasonable and exorbitant, and that the
establishment of river service when it was
not required is culpable in the extreme Cres

Democratic Opinion OF Mr.. Colfax.
From the Getty sburg (Pa. } Sta

vice resident Colfax, who in conse-
quence OF impaired health, had an
nounced his determination to retire to
private lie at the close of his present
term, has reconsldered his purpose at
the urgent solicitation of leading Re.
publicans. His health has materially
improved during the last year, and
wishing to be distinctly understood
that he does not seek denomination,
he has given his friends to understand
that he will not feel at liberty to decline
a denomination for the Vice Presidency,
should it be rendered to him by the
Republican National Convention. Mr..
Coltax, whose principles seem to be a
part OF his very life and being, stead
fast, earnest. and unwavering, outspo-
ken, and unfaltering, in season and out
of season, in whose constancy every
Republican in the land feels personal
reliance, is not apt to be favorite with
Democratic editors. Hence the follow
ing comments from the st. Louis Re-
publican the leading Democratic paper
of the West, on the proposed renomina.
ton of Mr.. Colfax, is in the highest de-
gree complimentary to his purity and
integrity:
Putting aside the extreme radicalism
of Mr. Colfax, of which he has as large
stock as any man in the nation, he
NAV be set down as not only an unob-
jectionable, but decidedly strong can
didate. He has presided over the
Senate with considerable ability and
more than the usual amount Of impair
TALLY; he is not known to have had
any connection with rings and specula-
tions, and uniformly courteous man
ner to all with whom he has been
thrown in contact has made him host
Of friends, even in the ranks of his
political opponents. Of his nomination
there seems now to ben question, and it
is equally certain that he will add very
materially to the strength OF the Grant
ticket before the people.
1t is only just to presume that when
the honor was declined in advance the
declination was perfectly sincere, and
intended to be permanent. The Vice
President has occupied a sufficient
number of high positions to satisfy the
reasonable ambition of any man; he
has not, so far as we are aware, accumu-
lated so much as moderate competen-
cy, and his health has been seriously
impaired by overwork. 1t is therefore
natural that he should be ready to with
draw from the excitement and toll of
exalted position, and in more quiet pur-
suits seek substantial happiness, az
ampler fortune, and the necessary re-
pose Of body and mind.

Five Weeks Without Food.

The Dubuque Telegraph of February
ID says: A man named VIM. Null,
who formerly was miner at Tetcs DIES
Morris, has been for a long time past an
inmate of the poorhouse. He is afflicted
with cancer in the head, which has
eaten through his skull, and left the
brain almost exposed to view. The
county physician has paid considerable
attention to his case, but has been un-
able to do the patient much good.
Five weeks ago Null refused to take
any food, stating that he had no desire
for it, and persisted in his refusal for
couple of days. At the end of that
time Mr.. Treanor, the good-hearted
steward, began feeding him with whisky
punches, and has continued to admin
ister the stimulant ever since. For FIVE
weeks not morsel Of food has passed
through Muhls lips, and he is, seem
ingly, almost as well as when he refused
to take it. He lost the use of his speech
about three weeks since, and is now un-
able to utter word"

mill of Whitall, Tatum & Co., in Mill
vile, Cumberland county, New Jersey,
miraculously escaped an awful death a
few days ego. While grinding some
jars one dropped into a gutter. She
leaned over to recover it, and, in doing
so, her long hair caught in the ma.
chinery betting and whipped her off her
feet. Instinctively she caught some
projection, and her heartrending
screams soon attra cted Mr.. George
Woolford, the manager, to the spot. In
an instant he saw her peril, cut off the
driving belt and reversed the machin.
cry. The girls life was saved, but the
injuries sustained are Of dreadful
character. One quarter of her hair was
torn out by the roots and her scalp
raised one-quarter of an inch. But for
her own desperate efforts, and the
promptness of the manager, she would
have been ground to atoms.

CllignOns.

Lady Burdett Coutts in an address to
some graduating "school marms" in
England, said "that nothing could be
more distressing or more frightful, than
the fashion which has transformed
women into denizens of some outlandish
country, rather than of civil and re.
fined society, and hopes they will strive
to check q habit of wearing other peo-
pies hair, or of not brushing their own"
This lady further says, "that this habit
has generated and spread many infec-
tious disorders now so prevalent, and
which have hitherto bafiled explana-

The Politicians i'm a Fry.

What shall the politicians do? They
can no longer set before their wirepullers
and supporters in their States and dis
tricts the hope Of clerkships at Wash.
ington, and places in post-otfices and
custom-houses, or of consulships abroad.
If they want to offer rewards for cleo
tioneering services, they must offer
their own money, and not the peoples.
What can they do? Just on the eve OF
great election the President, who
ought to be the embodiment OF the
party and executive organ OF its will,
has actually thrown away all the means
on which they depended for carrying
the election. Not that they are anxious
about electing him; the people will
take care of that. But how shall the
members of Congress be nominated and
elected? And, indeed, what will be
the value of a seat in Congress with no
patronage? No wonder they begin to
growl perhaps howl would be the
better word for the noise they will soon
be making. Hear them: "The latest
