begin to count the remaining days of his
Lieutenant Generalship. A host of use
less military offices may survive the
Forty-fouth Congress on account Of Grant
and the Senate, but the Forty-fifth will
seal their doom, for then the people will
have the President and both Houses of
Congress.

Dear Sir-We have yours of the 2Sth

have no entry of each item, as the price
agreed upon was 81 200 for the whole lot.

Now, do not these matters look sus-
picious, to say the least? Do they not
smell of addition, division and silence?"
1t seems Mr.. schaefer proffered his SER
vices to 90 east and buy the gas fixtures,
claiming he could save nice thing for
the county. and that he was going any
how. He afterwards presented and had
allowed bill of fifty dollars, which he
drew from the county, for his valuable
services in the purchase of these arti-
cles for the new Court House. Our
readers may plainly see how very geaer-
o,ts and public spirited Mr.. Schaefer is.
We have said that in his issue of this
week he makes no reference to gas fix
lures, but he does gas, in a very thin
buttermilk style, about the resolutions of
1898, and Jefferson Davis. He evidently
prefers such topics to water works and
gas fixtures. We can account for his
taste in these matters. He and brother
Bascom sail along lovingly together.
True, they talk over JEFF Davis and other
deceased matters, quite agreeably. They
both want to saddle JEFF upon the rejuv-
enated Democracy; but it cannot be done.
This old catin and Tabby cat would no
doubt like to weigh us down with heavy
loads of deceased nature, but it must not
be done. JEFF Davis has had his day,
and new era is inaugurated. Obstruc-
tions are to be removed, and jeff has
long since ceased to be an obstruction;

THE GRAssHoPPERs IN KANSAS.

\ Kansas City dispatch of May Sd has this
in reference to the grasshopper plague in
Eastern Kansas:
The young grasshoppers have done some
slight damage in localities but of not much
consequence. These pests are rapidly disap
pcarlng, the cold and damp weather not al
all agreeing with their delicate constitutions
Very little apprehension is now felt on theil
account, Farmers are planting an unusua
area Of corn, and it is estimated fully "A third
more of this crop will be put in than usual
Fruit is as yet safe, The late frosts not having
materially injured it, nor is it supposed thai
Saturday nights frost mas injured the grow
ing wheat
Per cohtrd, our old friend Reuben Hackett
writes us from Franklin county, 25 or 30
miles south Of Kansas City, under date OF
May 81, a. follows;
We lind the grasshoppers Matching out in
myriads. On the low lands, near the timber
they are taking the early oats and gardens
clean, and what corn is up the little scamps
are on tiptoe, with their heals down under

winds drove them off the high prairies to the

SIDEwALKs.-A statement Of the Chicago
Times has been going the rounds of the pa
pers of this state for several weeks that the
Sgpremc Court ut its last term at Ottawa,
had decided that sidewalks in city and vii
lage corporations must be made and repaired
1t the expense Of the corporation, aud not at
the expense Of individuals owning property
on the side Of the street where the sidewalk
IS built On inquiry at the court house, we
can find no trace Of any such recent decision
Some ten or twelve years ago, under the old
constitution and very different laws from
those now IN force Oh the subject, some such
decision was made in the case of Spencer VS..
The CITY IF Utaua;; but by the new constltu.
ton the doctrine of special assessments for
special benefits" is distlntly recognized and
daily acted upon without question in all the
incorporated towns and cities in the state.

The Chicago City government muddle is as
far from being cleared up as ever. Though
a majority of the people were supposed to
have voted on Friday two weeks ago in favor
of Incorporating under the general law, the
redoubtable Judge Williams issued an in
junction restraining the city council from
canvassing and declaring the vote But the
law said the city council must do so last Mon.
day evening. The question with the city
council was, should they obey the law or the
mandate Of Judge Williams. The city's lie.
gal advisers Judge Dickey, Mrs. Tuley, &c,
were appealed to and they advised the coun.
Gil to obey the law and go ahead and can
vass the vote. They did so on Monday
evening. At the same time the council
was in session mass meeting of the
people in favor of sustaining Judge Williams
was held, being addressed by many of the
leading men Of Chicago, threatening all sorts
of dire consequences ifthe injunction was dis.
obeyed. But the council boldly dashed ahead,
counted and declared the vote, and then for
mally turned the city government over to the
new regime. Meantime the question ponds,
what will Judge Williams do about il? No
doubt all the aldermen of the city, as well as
the city's legal advisers, are in contempt, and
if the authority, not to say vim and courage
of Judge Williams are worth a yroat, he must
either heavily fine every one of them, or pun.
ish them by imprisonment All the world Is
on tip.toe to see what the iracsible Judge, who
of late has become so notable for the multi
tudinous contempt he has fallen into, we'll
do about il.
u Since the above was written we see the
argument on the injunction before Judge
Williams came to e close on Thursday eve
ming, upon which the Judge proceeded to
give his decision. AS the INJUNCTION had
been disregarded and the city government
actually organized under the new charter, he
held that the only course left for HIM now
was TO dissolve the injunction; but as to what,
he would do with the city council for their
contumacy, he expressed a vigorous determi.
nation, as soon as he returned from a trip he
was about totake TO the country, they should
be punished To the extent Of the law, as sure
as there was balm in Gilead for outraged
judicial dignity or a God in Israel TO punish
law breakers generally.

The Lake County Patriot, printed at Wau

"Glen Flora Spring small fountain ia the

solid matter to the gallon-about as much as
