DON'T LIKE Tive have conversed
with very few men of either party since
tie McGregor convention, who do not re-.
gard the nomination of Judge Granger for
Congress as a very strong and judicious
one. But if any evidence of its wisdom
is lacking, itnay be found in the manner
of the reception of the news by the Anti
Monop leaders in this city. They had
confidently anticipated the nomination of
Cooley, and were in great glee over antic-
ipated victory this fall. But when they
heard that Granger, and not Cooley was
to be the standard bearer, and that the
Republicans of the District were inspirit-
ed and enthusiastic, instead Of divided and
respondent over an unfit nomination, they
were astonished and very much cast down.
They did not attempt to conceal their cha
grin, or could mot If they would. Itman-
Tested itself in their glum faces and dcs-
pondsnt tons, Truly, more funereal set
Of fellows than our Anti-Monop friends
never walked our streets unaccompanied
by corpse. They virtually acknowledged
thst Republican harmony meant the de-
feat Of their party, and seemed to regard
It as unecnerous Of the McGregor conven-
ton shat it did not nominate man who
would diazapt and divide the Repuhli-

THE most hearty, unreserved, pungent
and impulsive denunciation of cussedness
we ever saw in the Conservative, occurs
in its columns this week The subject
of it is lazy, worthless, filthy vagrant,
turned out of Jail this week by Sheriff
Farr, with the hope that he might be in
duced to leave town and rid the county of
the suspense of his support. Our cotem-
porary in detailing the circumstances,
fairly rises out of the milk and water,
tender-footed style in which it usually
deals with such subjects, and INDUCES in
some refreshingly vigorous and pungent
thrusts at the worthless vagabond, which
If he had any sensibility or pride left,
ought to stir him to exertion of some
kind. We forgot to mention that the
subject of the Conservatiue's sharp crit.
cism is "nigger."

EDUCATION FOR YOUNG LADIEs.-We
have always felt much pleasure in com.
mending such public and private educa.
tional institutions as have seemed to us
to be worthy of praise. Among these,
one which holds foremost rank is Miss
Horr's School for Young Ladies and
Misses, located at Dubuque, Iowa. We
have no hesitation in asserting that it is
entitled to very high place in public es.
TEEN. The plan of the school is liberal
and comprehensive. Free alike from
the narrowness of fixed ideas, and from
the looseness of crude and hasty innova-
tion," it aims to combine a healthy i'm
pulse of progress with temperate adher-
ence to what has been long tried.
We believe that, in the thoroughness of
its course of study, and in its education
of the heart as well as of the head, it Of
fers special advantages, and we would
cordially recommend this school to all
who have daughters to educate.

The COOLEY LETTERING reproduce
in this issue the substance of an extra, is
sued in the early part of the week, having
reference to the above subject. We do
SO, not that we want to keep up the wal
over Mr.. .Cooley's candidacy after the set
Element of the contest and the defeat Of
his aspirations, but because the circular
issued by the Dubuque delegation imme-
diately after the appearance of the Cooley
letter, contains matter that calls for expla-
nation and defense of our own action in
the premises. To correct the misstate
mcnts of said circular, and to set the trans
action in its true light before the public,
as well for its information and warning
as for our justification, is our sole desire.

is no case of Fever and Ague, lntermit

New CRY MAP.-Mr. w. G. Willetts,
of the firm of Waters s. Willets, who are
the publishers of the new map of our city
arrived yesterday to deliver the same to
subscribers. We have examined the map
with some care, and believe it to be as
near accurate as such a work can be. 1t
is embellished with Photographic views
of the great Grange PROCESSION Of last
year, and the ruins after the great fire,
besides the cards of our principal bust
ness houses arranged around the margin
1t will be found convenient for reference
giving as it does the latest record of the
locality of most of the business houses
and residences in town. It is colored in
good style and vanished. Mr.. Willetts
will not remain in town but few days,
and would like to have all subscribers be
prepared to take the map and pay for it
when he calls.

REAPER SMAsHED.-One day last week
span of horses belonging to 8. T. Span
glcr, attached to brand new reaper in a
field of his farm in Buffalo township ran
away, and in attempting to enter the barn
smashed the reaper into several small
pieces, running it utterly. A man who at
tempted to stop the team by running be-
fore them only escaped death or horrible
mangling by the circumstance that they
wheeled toward the sickle, leaving him on
the other side.

THE FIREMEN's ExcuRsuoN. visit
of Steamer Co. No. 1, Of this city, to Man
chester last Wednesday, was notable af-
fair and productive Of much pleasure to
all concerned. The boys went by the I,
A. M. train, the steamer on fiat car nice.
~ tucked up with cloth covering to keep
out the wet, and upon their arrival at
Manchester were received by the depart-
ment of that city, amid the booming Of
cannon and music from the Monticello
band.
A procession was formed and the visit
ors escorted to the headquarters of the
Manchester firemen, where they disbanded
for an hour, which was spent in viewing
the city. Again forming into line they
marched to the grove for dinner Here
they found the tables groaning under one
of the most bountiful and appetizing re-
pasts that eyer hungry men sat down to.
The ladies of Manchester had fairly eclip-
sed themselves in the variety, richness
and tasteful arrangement of the dinner,
and our boys did ample justice to it.
After dinner came the address of well
come by Col. Van Anda, in his usual hap
py vein, and in excellent taste. twas re-
sponded to in behalf of the visitors by E.
F. Monstoy, Of New York in eloquent
manner, after which came.the toasts and
responses, all brilliant and witty, and re-
ceived with shouts of laughter and APP
plause by the crowd.
Again forming in procession, the CON-
panies marched back to town, the steam
er being fired up on the way for test of
her powers, for the benefit of the Man
chester people. 1t is needless to inform
our public that she performed excellcntly
well and won the plaudits of the specta-
tors. The Manchester boys next followed
with their Babcock engine or extinguish-
er, the Hook & Ladder Company at the
same time exhibiting their feats of climb
ing and quick handling Of apparatus. A
free ball in the evening wound up the
days festivities:
Our Independence firemen are more
than pleased with the visit and reception.
They are enthusiastic over the spontane-
Gus hospitality of the Manchester people,
which would not let them pay for any
thing, and which manifested itself in eve
ry attention which could add to the pleas
ure of their visit. They request us to
give this public expression of their warm
thanks for the generous manner in which
they were entertained, and to assure their
Manchester friends that they impa-
tent for the opportunity to disch! >ge the
obligation in kind. When the Mhlches-
tx iremen visit @r city, as we Under
stand they will durRg the fall, they may
expect a reception which, though itsmay
not Guido their hospitality, will not assu-
redly fall behind it. "a
