FLANAGAN.

The world always in certain degree
aannises man Of nerve and audacity,
even if he be a Claude Duval, Robin
Hood. or E less chivalric robber. We
cannot say, however, that anybody
especially admires Flanagan. If any
body does not know who Flanagan is
we will state that he is kind Of fourth
class United States Senator from Texas,
and owing to the late election IN Texas
and its results, he remained there until
quite recently TO assist in the usurpation
ofDavis, the esrpet-bagger, who intends to
hold ever as Governor, although defeated
by a majority Of 10000. Flanagan,
however made his appearance in Wash
iugton last Monday, aud made up for
lost time by at once bringing himself into
notice aud notoriety. lie Immediately
drew all bic back pay under the IN
creased rate from the 4th Of March, 1871,
and having done this was not coDtsnt but
vent up to the Senate chamber With tbs
money in his hsNds aud proceeded
at his seat 10 brandish the rsll over bis
head, like a Comanehe Indian with his
first scalp, asd finally counted out the
money, bill by bill. on his desk, yocifer-
anng, meanwhile, that he had drawn his
back pay, and gloried in il. This dis
graceful scene was the occasion Of much
pleasantly in the Senate chamber, as i
vas a vindieation which some Of th'
members greatly needed. They iaeke'
the nerve TO DO as Flanagan did, but il
. vicaEious sense lie stood there 10 til
place Of dozen or two United State
Senators, doing their dirty work grad'
and boarding himself for nothing. Hi
appearance was q great relief to SOM

THE GRAND JURY.

A sensational report from the Grnnd
Jurv is one of the things expected annu-
onv Of late years as matter of course,
and II is we'll known that one or two oil
these reports have lad decided intiu-
ence upon subsequent county elections.
This, Of course, was not intended put
was natural and unavoidable result
The last Grand Jury report APP
neared in full this morning, and was
mite an extinguisher Taken IN
all its bearings and connections 1t
i highly significant, but we do not care
TO 90 into details. Each aud every one
effected by the report can answer Tor
himself. They admit that they nave
failed to reach ciea- examination ana
elucidation of the affairs of the county
and its officers, and ARE now OF the
opinion that no expert could show to the
neonle of this county an exact state OF
;,s affairs from the books shown us IN
lsss time than four to five months
And ret they make recommend
atoms concerning offices they never
visited, and of whose AFFAIRS
tbey could not otherwise have
heeu informed. They complain that
avery prisoner confined in the county
;a;l costs the county the enormous sum
Of sixty-fve cents per day, while the
station.house prisoners are fed at halt
the price. Perhaps there is difference
in the quality of the food and the accom-
modations furnished. 1t is charged that

The honorable County court, as usual
comes in for liberal share of attention
and good advice. If that body could
only swallow and digest all literary food
set before it. it would certainly become

which we venture to say will not be re-
peated by this generation. As to the

A NEw YORK paper has an exhaustive
article showing that there are not rail-
roads enough in the United States, and
thos the West is actually suffering Tor
want Of transportation facilities 20 con-
sey its enormous bulk Of products to
the market. If this is really true, there
must be revival of interest in the rail-
way enterprises. Usually after rail-
road panic in Great Britain or America
the public win not touch new railway
securities, tainted so often as they are
by fraud. But large returns to the
trunk lines East aud West, and the me-
cessity for new outlets for Western pro-
duce will compel the building OF new
roads, though it will doubtless be under
different and better systems than those
which now obtain, or which have OBJ
tanned during the past FIVE years.

A SasaI BiIiIardist.

From the New York World
An American named Jefferson has
lately been astonishing London by play
ing a game Of billiards, 800 up, against
the English player, Duiton, and winning
il. usinq bis nose as cue. To antici-
pate Puueh. il may be as well to remark,
perhaps. that this is the first instance
known Of an American ireyeling on his
nose instead Of his cheek; oct this
merely By the way. Mr.. Jefferson may
be an American or othf rwise, SO far as
we have any positive information on the
subject. but as a man who knocks bill
lard balls about with his nose, be belongs
to the world at large, and scars above clas-
si6ca,ion. And yet we would not lightly
part with Jefferson, seeing that he is the
only man in the world who has o cue
growing from the middle Of his face.
Let Us touch noses with him, and bail
him as a citizen OF our great Republic.
As a people, we have been accused by
effete European mOnarchs and their
bloated retainers Of great many indie
fensible practices connected with the
nose. We apeak through our noses,
they say, and are addicted to intrudinR
the national nose into places where 1t
has no business. Perhaps; bqt on re-
ioinder is that We heye a full blooded

New York Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.
If celibacy be misfortune, then New
York may be considered very unfortu'
nate city There are few places more
unfavorable to matrimony, and, indeed,
our clergymen often remark how rare
wedding fees have become | need not
mention the first cause, expense OF Nv
ing; everybody knows that. But, great
as Il may be, this is not all. The cause
lies in a perverted view of happiness; in
the cultivation of selfshness in both
sexes, and in the progress OF luxury.
Our fashionable young people are edn'
Gated to expect the enjoyment OF high
life. such as is found in the creme de la
creme in which they occasionally meet.
The ideal Of the young man IS to get mar
ried after he has sown his wild oats, and
as soon as he can find rich girl whose
fortune will support both of them in
n suitable manner. His mark is not
only five house, but plenty of first rate
LIQUOR. and the necessary arrangements
for dinner parties, which are often mere
bacchanalian routs. He wants a fast
team for his Central Park turnout and
still faster span of trotters for the Ave
nue. Add to this season at Long
Branch and Saratoga, with lots oil
money for the race course and betting
saloon. q season box at the theater, and,
perhaps a costly friendship of more
than Platonic nature. The question nat
urally arises, how many such opportuni-
ties in a city like this, where half the
rich parents (so-ealled) are bankrupt,
and where, if ayouug uan marr'es Tor
money, .he chances are ten to one that
he will get badly disappointed
