Grants Usurpations.

We lately conversed with an
Intelligent member Of Congress
from a sister State, just return
ed from Washington, in regard
to the present and future con-
dition Of our country. He takes
a dark and despondent view.
The people generally have no
idea of the carnival of cOrrup-
tion which prevails. If the
session had lasted a few weeks
longer, the Government would
have grasped the control of
both the telegraph and rail
roads, and made them Govern
ment institutions. Those who
are in intimate personal rela
tionS with President Grant, land
are known to reflect the ideas
of the White House, declare
that Grant is a candidate for
reelection for a third term in
1876. They say that the pre-
cedent set by Washington and
all other Presidents is of no
consequence in the present
condition Of affairs; that we
must have a stable government
and more permanent institu-
tions, and this can only be eff
fected by the continued reten-
ton Of Grant in Office. There
are already in support of this
! programme three hundred
thousand bondholders, the
grand army of National Bank
Directors and stockholders, the
hundred thousands Of employ
ers and employees interested in
protected tariffs, the Army and
Navy of the United States, and
the hundred thousands of civi,
office-holders with their subor
dinateS and their relations anC
friends. When to this is added
the control Of the railroads anC
telegraph, what monarch il
Europe will be as potent a:
Grant? He has already showl
a far greater indifference to tn,
people than he did after hi
first election. This is evinceC
by his scandalous appoint
ments Of his brother-in-lav
Casey and his son, Lieuten
ant Fred D. Grant, and by hi
signature to the notorious Con
gressional steal, which put
100000 in his pocket. Itwa
the opinion of the Membe
with whom we conversed tha
State and local rights wer
gone; that only onepower coul
f be opposed to the arbitrar
and despotic Executive, an
, that is Congress, and a contes
) for supremacy between thos
: departments of Governmer
, was not far off. Many of tn
r leading men of the Republica
party in Congress have latel
become alarmed at the cond
ton of affairs, at the more tha

The Lesson Of a Noble Life.
-om the Shreveport Times. ]

1lHtS
A man whose life embodies
a great moral lesson has not
lived in vain, however limited
may have been his sphere of
action, ,and though he may have
occupied no distinguished pub
lie station. Such man is a
real benefactor of his race, and
deserves, more than the illus
trlous personages Of history,
the love, respect and veneration
of mankind. In these degene-
rate days, the idea has gone
forth that wealth and high
station alone command hon.
age, and are alone courted by
the world. The influence of
this idea has had a most per-
nicious effect upon society :;
men imbued with it, lose sight
Of all objects save the accumu-
lation of wealth, or the posses
sion OF office; the youth of the
country imbibing it, learn to
attach greater Importance to
to these these things than to
integrity, justice and honor
The man therefore who, in his
life, practically refutes this
idea, confers a benefit upon
society, and is worthy to be
pointed out to the rising gene
ration as the highest type of a
gentleman, and as a model by
which to shape their conduct
in life. Such a man was the
late Col. FL. j. G. BATTLE, OF
this city. Col. BATTLE was by
no means Il rich man; he held
nor desired to hold, no official
position; he was an earnest
energetic, working man, earn,
ing his bread by his labor; and
yet, in all this State. there was
no man more honored by the
public, more esteemed, respect
ed and beloved by his fellow
citizens of all classes, than he
| The wealth of the RothschilC
and an imperial crown cOult
not have raised him one parti
Gle higher in the estimation anC
respect and confidence Of thos,
who knew him. Let those VIII
hereafter counsel that wealtl
and place are essential TO raiI
the good opinions of the world
contemplate the life of Henr,
Battle, and blush at their ig
noble, false and perniciou
theory.
The life of this noble gentle
man teaches the youth of thi
country thatscorn of falsehooC
love of virtue; scrupulous de
votion to honor; integrity an
kindness Of heart, are the SURE
est and most enduring claim
, upon the love and esteem {
! our fellow men. The fiatter
and hollow friendship that al
bought by wealth, are a
ephemeral as their purchas

won by integrity. and hone
and justice, can be shaken b
no adversely and lives even a

rhe nntch war in sumatra.

More than four hundred years ago q
Portuguese explorer landed on the island
of Sumatra, and some sixty years after
wards, or in 1909, the first Portuguese col.
ony arrived there. With customary Eu-
ropean guile, they lOmented internal dis
turbanCes, and so maintained foothold,
and reduced the Acheenese 10 insignil-
canoe. The Dutch came to the island TO-.
wards the end Of the sixteenth century,
and the English came prospecting soon NJ
ter. Things went on smoothly enough lor
several ages, the Europeans being content
with their profitable factories. In 1871, the
English took Dutch SumAtra, and rcstBrCd
it i've years later, trading of their own
posts for sundry Dutch settlements in In.
dia. Now the AcheenesC, whose name
sounds like prolonged snGcze, are up in
arms and alter the Dutch, whom they
have pCnncd up on the SEQ beach. The
rebellion has already cost the Dutch 500
killed and wounded. The people OF Su.
matra number four and half millions,
of which the Dutch arc but o few thous'
ands. II the Sumatrans arc in earnest,
they may put an end TO Dutch power on
the Island. The two peoples have lived
so quietly side by side that there must be
some grave aud unexpected cause for this
outbreak.

WE were favored last evening with u
call from our old friend EPHRAIM BEE, of
Doddridge-a name well known through
out West Virginia, and one whose fame
is by no means confined to her limits
Indeed, VIC may say that in every part OF
the world where the celestial order OF q
champs Wits has extended its benetlcicnt
sway, the name Of Uncle EPHRAIM. its
founder on this continent, is known and
honorGd. LattCrly a new star has arisen
in DOddridge, which has seemed for the
time to absorb public attention; but Uncle
EpuRADrs fame, rests on an enduring
foundation and it will shine with undi-
minished luSter long after MCMILLAN has
been elected 10 the Senate over Judge
CAMDEN, and both have been forgotten.
Though MIR. BEE was in feeble health
during the past winter, we arc glad to say
that he is now quite robust for n man Of
his age; and though scventy.one, does not
look to be sixty. He is at present en-
gagged in merchandising at his home nj
Oxford, and is in the city replenishing his
RtOck.

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1873.


THERE is and has long becn-just no"
long we couldn't venture to say, but GER
ts!uly four or five years-a dreadful con-
troversy in the Parkersburg papers, and
OF late years in the I0IcaR0 Lttbrteator,
about pipe-laying. Not political pipe
laying, for the controversy about that Is
as old rs the government and not confined
to any locality. But pipe for the trans
portation OF oil. Precisely what it is all
about we have never seen anybody that
knew, for no article on the subject OF less
than seventeen columns has ever been
printed, and life Is too short to attack
anything that formidable. But it ap'
pears that free pipe bIll-thatis bill
to allow anybody to lay down oil.pipe who
choso-was before the Legislature this
winter, and it was defeated by those who
ut present enjoy exclusive privileges IN
that way and who naturally couldn't see
the propriety Of making such valuable
franchises common. We notice that
our friend CnURCp, Secretary OF the
Yves; Virginia Transportation Company,
Is charged by tho Volcano LUbrtta!or with
having secured the defeat Of the free pipe
bill by selling out Parkcrsburg's chances
for the capital, u charge he very indig-
nan,ly denies in the Journal. The con-
troyeEsy has at length reached u stage
that must be pretty near the fighting
point, judging from the compliments
passed. The LuJlieat0r was exceedingly
savage and abusive Of Mr.. CHURCH last
week, and in an article in the Journal
this week ho returns the compliment in
choice terms like these:
I'VE shall not dignity the Volcano
Lubricdt0r with an extended reply TO It's
last false, villainous md lying charges,
except TO remark that when the notOri'
Gus Volcano calumnator, aided by a little
dirty sCayengcr, who vegetables about that
office, living on dried herring, macEereLs
ears and bad whisky, asserts that we sold
out the capital to defeat the pipe bill, he
lies wlliuIiy maliciouslv and atrociously'"
We only wish to remark that we think
the gentleman here referred to would get
along better with this fight if he would
adopt more civilized diet. Dried her
ring, mackerels cars and bad whisky
may do occasionally, but for steady
diet we should think they would be little
trying on the tissues. Alttlc crude Petro.
leum, or something else Of On OlcaginOus
nature, would be an improvement.
