Boston, Aug. %, 1872.
The Boston journal of to-day publishes
the following letter from Senator Wilson
in responce to the recent charges of drunk
enness, &C., by Rev. G.. w. Denison, of
Washington, against President Grant:
NATIcK, Aug. y, 1872.
Rer. c. w. DenisOn:
SIR have Just read in the Springfield
Republican of this date, your letter on the
drinking habits of General Grant. l am as

to you in a conversation last winter: Pres

not deny this" do deny, in the most
emphatic language. that have ever said
anything of the kind to you, or anything
that resembled it. Your statement is false.
During the last nine years have seen Gen.
Grant hundreds of times. / have seen him
in his camp, in his family, at his own ta-
bic, at the table of Others, at home and
abroad, and have.neyer seen him under the
influence of intoxicating liquors. remem-

ferred to the ISLANDERS concerning the Pres

what have said to others-thatI regretted

ciety. What 1 said of the President l have
said of all public men who use intoXica

have for many years felt that If our public
men would wholly abstain from their us'

The Importance Of Astronomy.

Aside from all other features of useful
ness, it may, be noted that astronomical
observations afford tie best means of de-
filming the boundaries of nations. II re-
quired sixty years to run the boundary be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
after the conclusion Of the Revolution. The
dispute almost led to a war, but was hap
PLY settled by compromise. Had that
line been designated by latitute and longi-
tude instead of the highlands of the St.
CroiX river, it could at once have been fix
ed beyond controversy. a similar error
occurred in the treaty of Guadaloupe-Hidal-
90, made between the United States and
Mexico in 1913, by means Of which the
Mesilla Valley was lost TO Us, and it was
only by the payment of ten millions ofdol-
lars that the mistake was rectified. Such
was the penalty which correct astronOmi-
cal calculation would have obviated. With
regard TO its use at sea, an illustration may
be found III tie dead teelSoning1 of the

sons spirit of defiance to the rebel Democ-
racy of this State seems to pervade the
whole Conservative mind in this Con-
gressional District, and the political caul-
dron is boiling over. The Conservatives,
seeing hencefOrth they are to be used only
as others, tools to put the rebel Democracy
into office, are breaking ranks and kicking
the traces. Judging the future by the past
few years they can expect nothing from
their Democratic allies, who are willing to
have their help in the fight, but refuse to
share with them the spoils of victory. The
political history of this State and especial
~ this part of it, since the rebels were re-
stored to the ballot box, is a practical DEM
onstration of this. In the contest for
Chancellor of this division two years
ago, ID. VI. Key, n rebel officer

The New York Herald, a Greeley organ :,

of hrag of the Greeley organs 1t says;
From the accounts furnished by our
special correspondents in this State and
elsewhere, as well as from other in
dications of the popular feeling, it is evil
dent that the enthusiasm for Greeley and
the opposition movement is dying out and
is succeeded by n sober second thought"
which holds men back from the change

oring to rally the people of the United
States to the cry of Anything to beat

THE OLD WHITE HAT.

When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
The Democrats swore freely,
And day and night, with great delight,
They damned old. Horace Greeley.
Bot now change has o er them come.
The like l never saw.
They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Chappaque.
Charles Summers now patriot,
A : statesman tried and true,n
Bat Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
~ When this Old Hat was new.
The Democrats all cried well done,
And said he d got his due,
And swore they hang old Greeley next,
Whenlhis Old Hat was new.
When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
Dan Voorhees, was the man,
Whose tall, proud form to victory led
The Democratic clan.
But now they have ruled Daniel out;
They say be will not do,
because he stands right where he stood
When this Old Hat was new.
But Daniel will not stand the storm;
He soon will come to taw,"
he vet will sing in sweetest strains
The song of Chappaqua.
,Whenlthis Old Hat was new, my boys,
The very air was rent
With shouts from Democratic throats.
But now they are for equal rights
10 every race and hue,
Then turned their backs on all they said
When this Old Hat was new.
But stu it does seem strange to me,
It's hard to think SO really,
That Hendricks should be showed aside
For Iigger-lovng Greeley.
For Hendricks was Democrat
To his party always true,
And Greeley was its direct foe,
When this Old Hat was new.
But let us take our dish of dirt
And try and push it through,
And turn, our backs upon the past,
When this Old Hat was new.
And when we get old Greeley in,
We'll send him to that shore.
Where, ii arrison and Taylors gone before.
And then with Gratz and Cousin Frank
And all of the Blair crew,
Well soon restore the days OF yore
When this Old Hat was new.

FASHION.

For the benefit Of our many lady
readers we shall endeavor hereafter to
sustain a fashion department in the
NEW NORTHWEST; not that we con-
slider close adherence to fashion as par
ticularly important, but-ye do consider
a general knowledge of prevailing styles
and general information rs to where
best and most stylish and reasonably
economical fabrics can be obtained Of
much consequence TO women of limited
means or sensible, practical ideas. We
call the special attention Of merchants,
BlOdiStos and milliners to the fact that
we shall visit their establishments as
regularly as possible, and shall take
pleasure in calling the attention Of our
readers to the stores of such as advertise
in the NEW NORTHWEST.
The earliest importation Of dress goods
has arrived. The undressed cashmeres
are thick and heavy, and resemble
somewhat the Cheviot cloths worn by
gentlemen. They are i'm their natural
ecru state, free from dyes, and conse-
quently show little variety Of color.
They are Of dark, grayish-brown tints.
The material is intended for mantles
and over-dresses that require soft, yield
ing, yet heavy fabrics. The velvet pet
ticoat that such effort was made 10 in
troduce this season ut our watering
places will be very fashionable this fall
and winter on the promenade. The ef-
fort to Danish polonaises will fail, as
they combine grace and convenience;
the ladies will not willingly relinquish
them, although they will be altered and
modified considerably. The introduc-
ton of skirts ruffled TO the waist be-
hind, and worn with an apron front,
will bring into favor the polonaise, in
which the basque and apron front are
combined. This garment descends to
the knee in front, is sloped sharply up
ward ON the sides, and has merely q
shorter basque behind, dipensing with
the long back breadths now used.

THE "HERALp,s,, "ROMAEo AGAIN.

Another TRADE Of scurrility and per-
sonal abuse appeared in a late issue Of
the Herald, purporting TO come from
san unpurchasable woman" It looks
to us very much as though the Herald
editor, fearing TO attack us boldly and
squarely, had planted himself behind
an imaginary 'woman's" ink-stand,
and that he holds on to her apron
strings for protection while casting mire
and dirt at as, which he dare not under
take 10 throw while acting upon his
own responsibility. But we will give
the woman idea the benefit of a
doubt, and have only to say to her, if
indeed n woman lives who is low and
vile enough 10 thus attack us, that
when a woman takes pains to convey to
the world that she sits upon unap-
proachable heights of mOdesty and vir-
tue, good people beware of her. They
decide at once that she is a person of
doubtful reputation and n stranger TO
the precepts Of respect. So when n
woman publicly boasts that she is ''un-
purchasable," and brazenly vaunts her
ineorruptibility, while vulgarly accus-
ing her sisters Of the blackest crimes in
the catalogue, wise people start
al once to buy that woman if they
S %"n' such a commodity, as they know
'hey can get her cheap
