There are indications, how ever. that. with the expiration of Grants Administration, it may lose some of its i-Republican bitterness and achieve a real independence. This is the more to be dssired because its influence is certain ly great, and there has been so much per sQnal hatred mixed with its honest oppo- sition to Grants second administration that it has been almost as much. n power for evil as power for good during the years of it's nominal independence.

The attacks of the Democratic press on sergeant-at-Arms Ordway have drawn a latter from Mir. Barnum exonerating that officer from all blame in his case. The next conundrum we would like to see an swered is regarding the number of Con- gressmen who are in the precise predica- ment in which Mir. Barnum found himself when the extract location of his back-pay began to be looked after.

The English House of Commons seems more disposed to do justice to woman than most American legislative bodies. A bill to enfranchise single women came to vote on Wednesday and was rejected on the following vote: Yes. 152; No, 1S7. Mr. Disraeli voted in favor of the bill. one of the opponents of the measure re- marked that the measure emanated from turbulent women in America.

At the Rhode Island election, last week, a Republican legislature was chosen and all the Republican State officers were elected by heavy majorities except Gov ernor and Lieut.. Governor. whose choice was thrown into the legislature by split. The tidal wave seemed either not to have reached this State or to have gone com- pletely over it.

Johnsons never die. A. Johnson de- parted from Washington early in 1869, in anything but the odor of sanctity. Every body supposed him dead; yet. a few weeks ago. he got up in U. s. Senate and fired of that same old speech, just as bright as if he had not been 'sdead duck" for six long years. Then, too, on April Fools Day, up rose the late J.. R. Johnson, late editor of the late New Milford Journal, from ont his very coffin, we judge, and and banged of paper in the interest of Messrs. Wm. H. Barnum and George H. Baldwin, in all respects so like his former Journal, even in it's kind remembrances of the Enquirer. that we wonder at the miracle even while we read in the Ray that it was wrought by purely natural means. to wit. by $50, cash, out of the capacious pocket-book of the the Iron Barnum. The only Johnson of any particular account now left under ground, fguratively speak ing, is Solon B. Johnson Esq, late editor of the Lltchfeld Sentinel, and the anxious public gather at the post-ofice and await the opening of each Cornwall mail for fear something may have happened, too. to him.

The Old Folks,

We often reflect that the bent and feeble
forms of the aged whom we meet in our daily
rounds, once bore hearts AZ bltho and gay, and
we're as full OF childish foibles as those of the
more youthful. They have all passed through
the same dream Of happiness, and the pure ro-
nance that thrilled the heart of the beardless
boy, when loves young dream enraptured
him, by the soft cheek, and lapguishing glance
OF lovely woman-each could tell his tale3 Of
sohool-boy life, and wonld think the scenes OF
that era crowded with more of spiritual
truth than any Of the tales lfe had read in
after life. He could tell of tender lays he had
penned at midnight, by the light OF q 'tallow
dip" and contrast the bright rays Of his youth
with those later in life. and even praise the
| mAidens of his Iyouth as being more fair than
modern maids. When young, they had wills
pers in a willing ear, kisses npon bushing
cheek, and think the kiss and whisper of that
early day fonder than modern lips can now i'm
part. They have = recollection OF passions
slighted and betrayed, of youthful friends early
gone to the spirit land and prospects that only
opened to deceive. The eyes that are bright
and the lips that talk love and all the fair forms
that we behold must, in the natural order O
time, come to this. Ere long, all that we value
| on earth will fade from our sight. and the trea
sures that we now go dearly regard must be sur
/ rendered. We are all growing old

Newsy Advertisement are the Kind
0Al II ell,


shrewd journalist gives the business hint
Who would regard sths news columns Of a
Newspaper which dealt only b the broadese gen.
erAlities, reporting day after day facts that the
public were already well aware Of? OF course,
no one would read such paper. 1t ID the
freshness and striking character of the newa
which draws readers and makes newspaper
sought for and just the same principle applies
to advertisements The business man, to bene-
fit fully from them, must make them contain
something that the people want to know-fresh
and detailed information. Bold and ingenious
display will never alone effect the object.
In = long and observing experience We have
noticed that people pay little attention to gem
srslties. A dry goods dealer may advertise
from now till doomsday that he keeps a full
line of cotton, linen and wooden goods, silks,
yelvets, ribbons, lacee, etc., and observe Hcarce-
ly any increase In his trade, but let him an
nounce that he has opened a case OF cashmeres
which he has marked at rs cents yard below
the previously current prices, aud see how his
store will be thronged.
But 1t is not necessary always to cut prices to
make advertisements tell. Lending Chicago
book house fills Its advertising space with pficu
lists of all the new publications of the day. All
bookworms read them with interest, and no
doubt weigh the prices In their minds till they
are impelled to 60 to the store aud purchase. III
other departments of trade there are few adver-
tisers who do not have something in their stocks
that, graphically described. would draw hosts OF
people to their stores to inspect, il not tu pur-
chase, and inspection commonly leads to pui-
chase.
The aim is to interest the public. 1t no
doubt requires skill and thought and study, but
this positive news feature is essential to the
prontableness OF the advertisement, and can oil
ways be depended on to pay handsomely.

FIGHTING HOODS ARMY

In our issue of yesterday morning,
we gave a telegraphic synopsis OF
some Of the views expressed by Hon.
Andrew johnson in a late interview
with correspondent of the New York
Tribune. Since then we have received
the Tribune, with the full interview rs
reported. We find in it a paragraph
which we have not seen in any of our
Democratic contemporaries in Tennes-
see, and fearing that they will never
publish it, and as it is interesting in
showing the whereabouts Of the
Great Commoner," we give it.
Speaking of his late contest before
the Tennessee Legislature for the
position he now holds, he said:
IL regard my triumph in Tennessee, after
he hardest fight l ever engaged in, with
more satisfaction than 1 could regard my
return to the Presidency; and you know
that | am not weak enough to suppose that
that can ever be possible. My contest in
Tennessee was very interesting one, and
a very significant one. 1t was the fighting
of Hoods army over again, There were
many Of his generals and high officers, with
my pardons in their pockets, trying TO beat
me as they tried during the war. My tri-
umph over such an opposition, with the aid
of the people, was most gratifying. As for
the position itself, do not know-perhaps
] may do more good in the Senate than l
could in the White House"

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Although the full returns have not
been received from New Hampshire,
enough is known to warrant us in say.
ing that Il substantial Republican vic.
tory has been gained. The indica.
tons are, that Cheney, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, has re.
ceived majority of all the votes cast,
and is elected by the people. The
Legislature, though apparently close,
will most probably be Republican in
both branches. 1t is pretty certain
that two, out of the three Congress.
men, are Republican, leaving the del.
egation the same as in last Congress.
Last year the election in that State
resulted in the choice of a Democratic
Legislature. One year of Democratic
rule seems to have satisfied the peo.
pie OF New Hampshire pretty thor
oughly, as the Republican gain of
nearly three thousand votes, as far as
heard from, seems to indicate. The
Democrats have made a desperate
effort to carry this election, and will
be filled with disappointment and
chagrin at their failure.
We are curious to know Just to
what extent Gen. Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, and Gen. Gordon, of Georgia.
contributed to the result. They were
invited, and participated in the can
vass on the Democratic side, and the
country was told they would accom-
plish wonders. And so they have.

he will appear Monday, In case he
reaches the city tomorrow. He was
strongly opposed to the funding
scheme, and II he knows OF any fraud
in that connection he will probably
take pleasure in freeing his mind on
the subject.
Resolutions have been offered in
both Houses providing for n final adj
journment OF the Legislature April
18th, provided the public business be-
fore the bodies are not disposed of in
the meantime. or course, these reso-
lntions ar mere buncombe, and the
people ernerally may comfort Them
selves with the assurance that their
lawmakers will sever their official
relations with each other at the ex-
pirstion of the seventy-five DAYS pro-
vided for by law. In the Senate. the
resolution in question WAS special

House resolution has not yet been act>
ed upon, having only been offered

CHATTANOOGA.

The citizens of Chattanooga have
had several meetings to discuss the
best means of protecting the city
from future freshets, such as that of
1867, and that of last month. The
subject is one of vast interest to the
city, and is being earnestly and ably
discussed. Several plans have been
suggested; one to enlarge the Suck,
below the city, so as to permit the
water of the Tennessee to escape as
fast as it pours down from upper East
Tennessee, is pronounced by Maj.
Mcfarland, L. S. Engineer, impossi-
bic. In his opinion, such an enlarge.
would cost many millions of dollars,
and he is satisfied the Government
would never attempt it. Another plan
Is to raise the streets of the city, the
buildings and the lots fifteen feet
above high water mark. The CITY
Engineer represents that the cost of
this to the city would be over $780,.
600. The most popular plan, and the
one which now seems most practical,
is to surround the lower part of the
city with leyee, forty feet broad at
the base, and two feet higher than
the freshet of 1867. A committee.
of which Capt. II. S. Chamberlain
was Chairman, after a pretty com
plete examination, report that such a
work could be built for 100000. If
such a levee would effectually pro-
tect the city, it would be cheap ut
such figures. The citizens one and
all, seem to feel the necessity for pro-
lection against recurring floods, and
seem to realize that the recent freshet
has been a most serious blow to the
city. The enterprise and courage of
our sister city, we believe, will prove
equal to undertake any work which,
after investigation, is shown necessa-
ry to protect its people from such
disasters in the future.

The Wife OF Gen. Crook has n Plan of
Reconstruction.

A Washington correspondent tells "A
nice little story about Mrs, Gen.
Crook, who has been passing some
weeks 1T the capital. She is very de-
sirous OF having her husband trans
ferred from Arizona, where the cli-
mate Is telling upon his health, so she
says. AT recent entertainment the
President was promenading with Mrs.
Crook, when she venturod upon a plea
for her husband. The President an
swered her by saying that Gen. Crook
was too valuable where he was to be
exchanged to any other post, and ad-
ded: " He serves his country so much
better when his wife is with him that
you will have to return"
Mrs. Crook was a Miss Daly. of
winchester, and was captured by her
husband just after the celebrated bat
tie in which her husband acted so cor
spicuous and brave part. She is very
handsome and sprightly, so she sauci-
~ answered the President by telling
bin that her husband was greater
General than he or Sheridan a for.U
said she, " it only took him two hours
TO reconstruct me, and after ten wears
trial you and Sheridan have failed
with the South" Mrs. Crook has had
nine happy years with her husband,
and is as proud of his military record
as If she had never needed reconstruc-
ton. She thinks that if the same pol
Icy had been adopted for reconstruc-
ton on a larger scale as the conquer
ing hero practiced upon her there
would be no discomfort now. That
same old law of love and kindness that
binds the hearts with hands of steel.

THE FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS

The Forty-third Congress, which
closed its labors at Washington on
the 4th inst, has done much to com
mend itself to the favorable consider,
alton of the American people. The
Republicans had a two-thirds majority
and were consequently strong enough
to effect reforms in the Government
without the aid of Democrats, and
they have done it. They have fear.
lessly exposed those who had fallen
into corrupt practices, and have not
hesitated to apply the knife where it
was needed. 1t is a fact, beyond dis.
pute, that there has been as less cor
rupt use Of money before the recent
Congress than before any of its pre-,
decessors for years. This has not
been because no one had o scheme to
be put through by corrupt means, for
the lobby was never stronger. The
members set themselves against all
corruption at the beginning of the
first session, and they adhered to it
until the last day of the last session.
They were beset with persistent and
powerful appeals for subsidies of
various kinds. But they resisted
them all, and the Republican majority
is entitled to the gratitude of the
country for its frmness in resisting
organized raids on the Treasury.
