will bring into circulation here q
large sum Of currency, Of which we
are very much in need at pres
ent. 1t will make business of every
kind more lively, and Alpena gem
orally will be much benefited by
the operation. There is not a nan
in the whole city who would will
ingly delay the construction OF this
road two or three years, and in or
der to receive the immediate bene-
fit, we must act promptly. Let the
matter of subscriptions be closed
up at once, and the work commenc-
ed.
Up to yesterday there was nearly
enough promised to make up the
required $4,000, and we hope ere
the week ends necessary steps will
be taken to put all that amount in
shape to secure the commence
ment of work within the next few
weeks.
1t is evident we want the road,
that it will he the making of AL
pena for the future, that the sooner
the work is begun the better our
citizens will all be situated, that
many men arc in need of the en-
ployment it will furnish, and that
all need the money it will put in
among us, so that to de-
lay in the matter is only to injure
ourselves.
Let our people take hold, close
up the agreement, have the work
commenced, and reap the profits.

Col. James Lupton, formerly pay
master ia the United States army
who gave Capt. Hall the book on
the eve of his departure, wished to
obtain it if ever found, as he car
ried it through our civil war, she
relinquished the wish. Mrs. Hall
was visibly affected when she saw
the deeply worn volume. The old
inscriptions made by paymaster
Lupton on the fiy-leaf, Lookout
Mountain" "Stone river" "The
Bloody Field of Chickamauga,"
"On the march to Atlanta" etc,
etc., can still be easily read.

The government is waking up.
We are told the South Atlantic
squadron is or will be ordered to
Cuban waters and strengthened to
protect American shipping. Even
late is better than never. 1t is true
the criminal hardness of the Wash
ington cabinet has already resulted
in the murder of several American
citizens in Cuba, but even that may
be forgiven if it acts vigorously
now.
The cabinet is still talking nom
sense about the friendship of Spain.
The Spaniards know no such thing
as friendship. They are the same
treacherous, bloodthirsty race that
they always have been. The friend
ship between Spain and the United
States has always been one sided.
We have received constant injuries
and constant insults with occa ~ional
apologies. The presence of a Span
ish army in Cuba is an insult and a
menace to the United States.
Again we ask, what is Spain and
what are we that these things can
occur? That our vessels can be
captured ON the high seas and their
passengers murdered in cold blood {!
Must we apologize in such cases
and surrender our prisoners to
Great Britain, as we did in Mason
and Slidelfs case, at the same time
pocket the insult when offered to
ourselves, and aggravated ten
thousand times by the murder OF
the men captured If the United
States hesitate they will loose the
respect of the world, and they
ought TO. Shooting Ryan and 9th,
ers captured on the Virginius was
more than a cause of war-it wa.

Last Saturday Hon. J. X. Lock-

Jefferds, President of the Grand
Rapids, Greenville, and Alpena
Railroad, dated Nov. 10, from which
we copy the following extract:
"Mr. Smally, the engineer, will
he ready TO go to Alpena soon, and
we must do all the work possible
this winter. III we can grade to
Hubbard Lake this winter, we must
do IL by all means. The subscrip-
ton must be made satisfactory soon,
il Alpena means business. Our
parties say we must build the whole
line inside Of two years. In order
to do IL we must get to work. If
we cannot commence work at Al
pena this winter, we shall be oblig-
ed 70 work at Devil River, and that
will put Alpena back two or three
years, which will not be our fault"
1t viii be seen by the extract
that they mean business at once
that will be Of lasting benefit to
this community. They want to
commence Immediately, and all that
is delaying them is that our people
have not got the subscription in
propersh shape. Now let the matter
be attended to at once. Delays are
dangerous. II the company COM

rnau,hert.ed Use Of . Nam. Name

10 seems to Us that good deal of undeserved
censnre has been bestOsed upon Mr.. william
cullen Bryant because of his resenting the I'M
authorized us of his name by the Greeley mon
ument committee. The gentlemen engaged in
raising n fund for a monument to Mr.. Greeley
published an appeal for subscriptions, append
ing thereto the name of Mr.. Bryant as one of
the signers. He, therefore, in his paper, the
Posf. declared that he had never signed the adj
dress, never authorized anybody to sign it for
It until it appeared in print. Regarding the
use of his name in this way as an imperti-
nepce. he asked that il might be omitted
from subsequent publications. The assump-
ton has been made that Mr.. Bryant's &C
tiOn in the matter was dictated by his old
hostility TO Mr. Greeley; but we do not see that
this l. a legitimate conclusion And even if he
Was thus Influenced, the fact has nothing to do
with the merits of the case. Had the paper
been presented to Mr.. Bryant, he might or
might not have signed it; but unless he did in
person. OF authorized it, no other man had any
business TO forge his signature-for that is what
II amounts to-hOwever meritOriOus the object.
The practice of signing other mems names un-
authorized to circulars, petitions, calls for pub
lie meetings, &c, &c, has grown to be a great
evil, and needs just such a check as is afforded
in this plucky deed of Mr.. Bryant's, who, at the
risk of having his motives misconstrued, thus
asserts his right to the use of his own name.
The kindred impertnence of the unauthorized
Use of persons names in the list of officers at
public meetings, or as speakers at the same,
ought also to receive a similar rebuke.

The census OF France for ls52 shows a greater
loss OF life by the Franco-Prussian war than the
reports OF losses and casualties heretofore would
indicate In 1856, the date of the preceding
Census. France had a population of -, 067 Oei.
cne OF the eighty-nine departments has been
coded entire to Germany, with a population OF
i,5s' -. Deducting these, the present territory
ofFTance had population or 81, 4e9, $50. This
shows ali actual loss of Bod, 9j5, and, adding the
loss OF the population of the territory ceded to
Germany, decrease in sly years OF 1 ,96i ,l13
people in the population of France. II is esti-
mated that the natural increase of population
during four years of the six that elapsed between
the two censuses was 10000 per annum, and
10000 more Tor the last two years. This would
eve an aggregate natural increase of 100000

IL has been given out that the Bonapartists
at a conference since the death of Louis NapO-
leon, decided to rally under the lead of the
Prince Imperial instead of Prince Napoleon
- PlOn PlOn." 1t would seem, however, from
the description given of the young Napoleon
IV.by a correspondent OF the New York Tribune
who was at the funeral at Chiselhurst, that his
hold on life is too insecure for his adherents to
build much on his prospects Of reaching the
imperial throne. The writer SAYS: THE
Prince walked with a sad air, with dignity of
manner; but his thinness and slender build sug-
gested the early fate of the King of Rome.
Only very moderate degree of cadetins can

monstTatiOn at the funeral in favor of the Young
Prince Csome mention of which was made by
telegram are thus given by the Tribune cor
respondent:

by quarter 10 i. having occupied an hour and
