JAMES Brooks has made an eloquent
address to his constituents defending
himself in the most earnest manner
against the charges of Poland's com
mittee, and declaring before God and
man his entire Innocence His pro-
traiture of the memorable committee
atwhOse hands he received such marked
ndignity is too good to be passed with
out special notice. Mr.. Brooks saws ::
The committee was thus organized, |
say, Tor there were put upon it such men as

( because of his known hostility to Ames

certain rich BostonianS to free his WAL

MeTick, of Mary land, an ex-rebel Judge of
this district, al the opening of the civil war;
whose court Congress had to extirpate to
be rid of him, and who, therefore, sore and

ASnINGTOS, March !, 1873. !
My DEAR Mr.. COLFAX Allow me to
say that | syIupathilc with you in the re-
cent Congressional Investigations that
have watched them closely, and I am as
satisfied now as | ever have been, of your
integrity, patriotism, and freedom from
the charges imputed, as if | knew of nv
own knowledge of your innocence. Our
official relations have been SO pleasant that
l would like to keep up the personal rela
tions through life.
Afcctionately yours, I. s. GRANT.
We are not aware of anvthing in
General Grants anteceCtcnts that would
make his Judgment on questions Of
evidence Of particular weight; nor. we
suppose, would anybody regard them
as of special value His letter is i'm
poTtant as 8 proclamation to the Rad
ical party, from its chief calling on it
to stand BY its ScOundrels I.eslie's
Illustrated Magazine has a picture of
them sheltered behind "a party wall +"
General Grants letter is even better
illustration. We shall soon zee every
party journal Of the Radical stripe
protesting that it really can see no
harm III the things proved on Colfax.
But the American public will still
think, in spite Of General Grant, that
if there was no harm in what Colfax
did, he need not have told so many
lies to hide it. But the Radical party
l have long since reached the conclusion
/ that this business of deserting their
scoundrelS, when they are tried and
! convicted, will never do. In this city
General Grant was prompt to interfere
with his pardon to rescue Brown, the
convicted repeater" and now he has
come rs promptly 20 the aid of CoIfax.
Our military President is evidently in
toXicated with the notion that he is
! already a monarch, and the fountain
! of honor. lie fancies he can make a
to him a Presidential approval Age

PARIS.

The farmers of Paris are nearly
through planting corn. Many have
had to replant in consequence of the
seed not being good. "A curious phe
nomenon has taken place in germina-
ton, such as alternate rows germina-
ting well, while the intermediate rows
failed entirely. Much drilled corn is
being put in for fod Ter Some have
commenced to cultivate. Working
on the road,washing sheep and draw
ing grain to market il the order of the
day. The wheat is taken to Racine
and sold for Shopper bushel. Never
have farmers had better time to
wash sheep than this year. Farmers
should remember that wool put up
with the tags is understandable.
Buyers should make proper discrim-
ination. The fact that they never
have is the reason why so much foul
wool has gone to market. The Farm.
er's Club is still in good working or
der. An interestingly meeting was held
June I'd, Pres. Ell. A. Newbury in the
chair. The Club was augmented by
the addition of several new members.
The question of asPasturage" was
thoroughly discussed both as to quail
ity and durability Of the different
kinds of grapes, The question clio
tied some original and practical
thoughts. In the opinion of the Club
durability is the thing to be sought.
The next meeting is to be held at the
house of the Pres, July 7th, at y
o'clock, P. M. Question for discuss
ion, "What branch Of farming pays
best" Every member is requested to
be present. The ladies are especially
invited. M. o. MYRICK, Sec.

his proposition being Wisdom demands
that life be developed according to the
teachings of God" showing the advanta-
ges of thus governing life. He claimed
the following The Divine guidance
is the highest honor, evolving the Di-
vine thought in our characters and lives ;
makes available to us the immeasura bic
resources of life. Developed in obedi
ence to the teachings oftGod, it will be a
joyous success to guide the life here, by
Gods will, and secure the illImitable
future. He exhor:ed graduates to be
leaders, reformers, and upbuIlders, to
throw their influence Nfor the brightest
and purest thought.
Hon S. G. Ryan, of Milwaukee, ad-
dressed the law class The Commence.
ment exercises occur to-day. There

Mayor Williams has vetoed the recent
ordinances passed by the Common Coun-
Gil of Waukegan, liking the license of
saloon keepers at 5000, and those of
grocers at $500. He takes the ground
that if liquor-selling is right, and for the
interests of the city, poor men, as we'll
as rich, should have the privilege Of IL
cense, and that the amounts fixed IN the
proposed ord nances discriminate in fa-
vor of those whose pecuniary ability
would enable them to pay for licenses.
But he furthermore takes the ground
that the Common Council has the power
to regulate and prohibit the sliquor traf'
fc, and that if, as is generally conceded,
the traffic is an actual detriment to the
peace and morality of the community, he
suggests whether it is not the duty of
the Council to refuse all licenses, and
thus virtually abolish the traffic. Thi
gives rise to the question of License or
No License.

There is another aspect which, it ap,

Already the arms of this monopoly are
seeking the sole possession OF al lines
North and South; let us likewise seek to
counteraot it by the establishment of

Yet such, from late statistics, is the
recuperative power OF this Southern
country, that despite this Eastern com
meroial supremacy and the lack of cheap
transportation and Communication with
the West, We not only have maintained
the figure which Southern direct trade
had reached in 1860, but that we in 1870
had augmented it, and in 1872 it must be
much greater than in 1870. This is en-
oouraging, when, without any effort on
the part Of the South. the natural re-
sources tempted foreigners to come to US
to buy our produce; but such sort OF
recuperation can be but slow, and would,
in tho rapid development of this age,

THE INDIAN WAR-Tho latest advices
from the seat of the Modoc war states
that the regulars are waiting for the
transportation of howitzcrs. In tho
meantime the forces Of Captain Jack arc
daily increasing.
The Modocs are gradually being rein.
forced by stragglers from the reserva-
tons, and it is believed that some OF the
Pitt River Indians have joined them.
The time of the Oregon volunteers has
almost expired, and they will soon be
mustered out of service. There are $50
soldiers in the field. Taking those re-
quired for guard and escort duty lenves
only seyenty-6vo for fighting, which is
less than the Indians now number; aud
there are only fourteen soldiers at Fort
klamath to guard 800 Indians on the
reservation there. Should the fight
linger for some time there is danger of
their breaking out and joining the Mo.
docs.
