WIRE NETTING ron PLAsTERING Wire
netting for plastering, we are informed,

place OF laths 1t takes less labor to

one inch mesh, and made OF strong wire,
is found to answer best For ornamental

it can be bent into any desired form. Sc.

ing. our greatest danger on account Of

application Of this plan is to make round
bags of wire resembling barrels and t.
coat them inside and out with cement
When it hardens they resemble stone
barrels. Filled with sand and sunk in
rows and masses they make excellent
materials for breakwaters. Another cX.
tension Of the idea has been tried with
success in England. 1t consists in max.

with wire netting, and spreading concrete
on both sides 1t is claimed that a house,

Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
WAsHIsGToN, Feb. Is.
GRANTS ADHERENCE TO BUTLER.


The nomination of William A. Sim
mons for Collector ofthc port of Boston,
which was sent to the Senate to day, cre
ated huge sensation among the New
England people 1t is regarded as the
crownng act Of Grants adhesion to the
Ben Butler faction, and as premeditated
snubbing OF Dawes. The President has
grown very savage about the tendera ess
of anti Butler Republicans toward Mr..
Sumner, and particularly to the wiping
out of the vote of ccnsure formerly
passed by the Massachusetts Legislature.
But in this nomination Of the most Ob
noXious Of Buffers parasites the Prcsl-
dent deiianlly throws down the gauntlet
to the Dawes, Washburn, Sumner and
Boston Advertiser faction, and gives
them to understand that lie means war
to the knife. This will probably serve
to render irrcpaIable the rupture between
Grant and Henry Wilson, and will no
doubt have the effect of insuring SUM
ner's re election to the Senate by driving
over to him many who would have been
clad to maintain at least the scmblancc
of friendship with the ADMINISTRATION, il
they could have done SO with shadow
of opportunity to preserve their seli.re
spcct.
WASHINGTON, Feb. is.
WILTSHIRE.

succeeded to-day in seating Wiltshire for

Gunters right of contest 1t is the same
old farce Gunter is entitled to the seat,
and will get it towards the close Of the
next session of the Forty third Congress.
However. :he Radicals were only able to
drum up bare majority of six on u full
vote in this case, decline of power
which tells it's own story.
THE SIMMONS NOMINATION.
The news of the proceedings OF the
Boston merchants, and the comments Of
the Boston press on the Simmons nom.
ination, created great futter among the
Massachusetts people here. There is no
doubt that this nomination, rs indicated
in former dispatch, will be tho last
straw to break the back Of the Admins
tration party in New England. A dis
,inguished member Of the Massachusetts
delegation said to. day that the Republi
can party Of Massachusetts would en-
