LETTER FROM ROCHESTER, N '.
FAST HORSES AND FINE HOUSES
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 2l, 1875.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. q, 1875.
 4 lovely day: Last night the wind chang ed to the South, and all day the water has dropped from the eyes of the houses. The snow that has recently fallen packs, and the sleghing Is the best ever known Tn these parts. At 3P. M friend calls and talks of fast horses; was somewhat interested Tn his fast talk; soon ride was proposed, and in a very short time found myself seated Tn fine sleigh, wrapped in robes in company with ladies and gentlemen, behind span of spanking grey steppers; off we flew, We turn few corners, amid the bustle and noise of lively city, that enlivened by thousand tinkling bells, soon we find our selves on the Beast avenue: I notice thou ssnds of stores along the curb UT sidewalk; soon cheer and laugh on all sides, zip they come four abreast; in a moment my atten- tion was called in another direction to horse that seemed to be flying. l hardly had time to gather my senses to realize my real self, (for but few days had elapsed since was in Arizona) now fine span of blacks lap us, the ladies say, Don't let them pass,
 they did not pass, but fl We didn't fly from one end of the East avenue to the other at railroad speed, then am stump. We turn at the outcome and let the horses walk leisurely back. What does all this mean, II A. NJ. l am at a horse race My friend explained: In Rochester there are owned at least three hundred horses that claim to have trotted mile inside of 2:4O When the sleighing is good and weather fine, the boys take them out on the avenue to speed them. My friend, being one of the directors of the Jockey Club, is not allowed to drive along the avenue without some one trying to pass him. As we rode along he pointed out some of the fastest horses, in the familiar manner: I''That claybauk is valued at Sl2,000 ;-that mare is valued at Sl6,000,n and so on; the least valuation put on horse that would trot a mile in 2:3O was one thousand dollars. After driving rapidly over the road three times we return ed home with our head full of fast horses and horse talk East avenue is suited for ride, being perfectly level and very broad The frost has stripped the foliage from the trees, thus removing the veil that had con cealed from sight the many costly palaces on either side of the avenue. And as we rode along my friend pointed out the resi- dences of several millionaires.
 Next day, as stepped upon the platform of palace sleeper and started of at forty knot speed, looked back : It was like a vision or dream, and 1 came to the conclu- sion that Rochester was fine place for rich man to live in. It will be remembered that it was in this city that the mare Gold smith Maid made her fast time. But the Maid is being wintered in California, hence she does not appear in Rochester this winter Horses are generally driven single before light sleighs, sometimes skeleton sleigh Is used. BoB.

HIS THE PRESIDENT. T.PREVENTED 4
 SECOND CIVIL WAR?

The New York Herald of January 9th, treating of Louisiana affairs, is mere mode rate than most of the independent papers of the nation. The Democratic journals, with out exception, have assumed the fact of mill aggression, and at once. with a unanimity that indicated pre-existing determination to make political capital, began to denounce the Administration, the President and Gen eral Sheridan. The Herald says:
 The President has either suppressed a bursting civil war, or he has begun a series of usurpations that may lead no one can tell whither. The President has gone so far that he must be utterly condemned as military usurper or completely sustained
 To this the San Francisco Chronicle adds:
 We give our assent to this proposition, and so far as we are concerned we abide the yer dict of that sober second thought that comes after excitement and predicates its judgment upon ascertained facts. A harmless incident, inspired by a desire to prevent bloodshed and civil war, has been seized upon by all the hungry politicians of the nation who desire the downfall of an Administration of which they are not part.
 After all, 1t is but the cry of the jackall. It is but the yelp of the coy otes; it is the elamor of hungry place hunters. The President has suppressed "bursting civil war" and he has been guilty in act or intent of no usurpation. Sheridan will come out of this matter with added laurels and a new and brighter fame. His ride from Winchester down the valley of the Shenandoah is surpassed by this act that has preventing bursting civil war" Time, which at last makes all things even, is already beginning to demonstrate the wisdom of this precautionary step. To-day all is quiet in New Orleans: the honest press now begins to ring out in a voice like that of the olden time; patriots with fearless mein are step- ping to the front. The intelligent, honest sentiment of the nation has declared that that there shall be no second civil war.

IN view of the alarming increase of incen- diaryism in Oakland, Cal, the Tribune reads those who sleep in Oakland and do business in San Francisco, without taking any thought of their homes and home influences, lec- ture in this wise: "Let them look at home, then, once for all, and even on other grounds, while the owner of a house and barn and the head of family is of by the morning train let him take notes as he rides along of the many foul-mouthed and idle boys that are to be seen and heard on every hand, and he may be astonished to learn that he is breeding his own incendiaries. Oakland may not be the only place where parents are uncon- ciously 'brecding their own incendiaries," even felons and murderers.

But let us look at the remedy
which this newspaper recommends.
What will be its consequences?
First, the people of the West will
have to hold their produce mainly
until next spring. Will this injure
the railroads materially? Certainly
not. They will only run fewer trains
and have less expense. 1t must not
be expected that all or nearly all of
the wheat will be held, and what is
shipped will be owned by the same
men who own the railroads, and
they will sell it to the people of the
East and to exporters at famine
prices, and thus will more than make
up for losses consequent upon the
meagre business done by the roads.
The real sufferers will be the poorer
farmers and dealers Of the West,
who cannot afford to hold their
wheat, and the poorer consumers at
the East, who cannot afford to lay in
supplies now, while prices are CON-
paratively low, to last them until
navigation opens in the spring.
True, as the Pioneer-Press says,
the people Of the West should make
this an occasion for demanding of
Congress that. channels of water
communication shall be opened and
improved, so as TO make them less
dependent upon railroads.; but they
should do more, they should utter
such a general, clear and determined
expression of public opinion as to
influence the Supreme Court in Jan.
uary next, to decide the Granger.
suits according to law, instead of be.
ing swayed in its opinions by these
wealthy railroad nabobs to render
decisions in harmony with illega
and inconsistent precedents. We
want the water routes, every one O
them, but we, also, need to have
the laws of the land 50 interpreted
as to leave no room for the inference
that wealthy corporations are more
powerful that the government itself
The Grange advance., 1875-11-17
Political Parties,

1t is we'll enough occasionally to
reflect that there are certain general
truths which we cannot afford to
overlook. Among these are the fol-
lowing: In every country there are
malcontents, naturally inclined to
revolution, and as apt to act from
fancied as from real causes. So, too,
every country has more or less un-
principled men, anxious to stir up
contention, in order that they may
take advantage of the tumult and
aggrandize themselves. Then there
are always hundreds of disappointed
men who have become soured by
mishaps until they regard mankind
as their enemies, and seek only to
avenge themselves by injuring others.
These three dangerous elements of
society are, for obvious reasons,
nearly always to be found in the mi
nority party in a republic, and in
this country we find them in the
democratic or opposition party at
the present time. They are, also,
always apt to be leaders of the or
ganization to which they attach
themselves, because they are natu-
rally irrepressible and having no set
tied convictions and principles of
their own, they are ready to accept
any creed that may be offered, and
urge it with zeal commensurate with
the strength of the passions which
prompt them to act.

Complaints from Texas say that
Mexican marauders are committing out
RACES on the Texan frontier that call
loudly for prevention and punishment.
A hundred thousand head of cattle are
said to be stolen annually by these
scoundrels. We can hardly believe
these stories, for it does not seem credi-
ble that Texan frontiersmen have for
gotten how to take care of the Mexican
greasers.
The Pioneer-Press is at consider
able trouble to show the democratic
party its blunders. 1t might as we'll
save it's ink. That party is past learn
ing anything even in the school of ex-
perience. Can dead man correct his
errors and improve his morals? Or, is
there any repentance in the grave? The
blunder that the democratic party makes
is that it's leaders won't suffer it to stay
buried.
The Springfield (Mass.) Repub]i-
can says of the democratic party:
The greatest service it is now in their
power to render the country is to just get
get out of the way. Whenever they do that
the people will make quick work with the
other political obstruction. The pair Of
them lean against and support each other.
