A JOLLY Boz IS SARToR1s.-I have
seen but very little of Grant although
there is an employee of Col. Presbury' q
among his $50 servants at the West End
Hotel which is said to be the picture Of
the hero of Appomatto1. He is, think
stage driver and strawberry blonde.
Grant keeps very quiet. and will not
talk to his most intimate friends about
the third term. But the most popular
and best natured and most jolly boy at
Long Branch is Algernon Sartoris, the
husband of Nellie Grant and the son-in-
law to the President, and when he is
not driving his pretty wife along the
beach in little pony chase, he wanders
along the drive in an unassuming man
ner in loose sack coat. valued at about
Sc, and makes himself good natured,
plucky way, that defines criticism and
makes him quite liked by all the young
people. He is fine gymnast; a good
boxer in an amateur way, and hard
walker; but then the walking at Long
Branch is so 'bla-a- asted dustv that he
Goes not care to do enough of it for his
health. Young Sartoris is also fond Of
a glass of lager. and ha> taken great
liking to that beverage-in schooners.
His usual way, as I understand, is to
step into Jouss' lager beer saloon, and
with a good-natured nod. cry out: oh,
l say, isn't it doosed 'ot. Just give me
a large glass of beah, won't you, old
fellah. And I say be pretty smart
about it, you--it's so doosed 'ot. Thanks
old fellah, I'll take another, like good
buy 1 can't help thinking that to be
a democratic kind of way for q man
with $50, 900 year, an old family name
and married to Cesar's daughter.

THE LUMBER TRADE.-Gen. J

The LUMBER TRADE.-Gen. J
S. Brisbin, in a carefully prepar
ed article upon the destruction
of forests, published in the New
York World, gives some interest
ing statistics of the amount o
the lumber business annually, II
which he says that no less thar
100000, 900 feet of lumber were
cut in a single year. The ten
mills upon Puget Sound produce
one-eighth of this immense ag-
gregate, and are situated IN the
midst of the finest and largest
lumber forests upon the Contin-
ent. These mills do not now
cut into lumber annually more
than 1.5O0 acres Of timber.
Gen. Brisbin further says
Five thousand acres of Wiscon-
sin timber are stripped annually
to furnish lumber to Kansas and
Nebraska That will aggre-
gate not less than 250, 600, 600 of
lumber from one source OF sup
ply for Kansas and Nebraska; 4
third more than the entire pro-
duct of the Puget Sound Mills,
at the present time. The COM
pletion of the Seattle and Walla
Walla Railroad would open a
market for our lumber which
would be not less than one-third
of the amount now demanded for
Kansas and Nebraska, and not
one-eighth the distance from the
base of supplies. This would
make over S3,0OO,O0O; which, at
SIS a thousand for transportion,
would give the railroad a bust
ness of S415,O00 a year. The
demand for coal to supply fuel
to the same section would also
be large source of revenue
The transportation of these two
commodities alone would not
only yield fair revenue upon
the cost of the road and running
expenses. but would rapidly
make Eastern Washington and
Oregon the most attractive
section of the Union for the i'm
mense emigration now tending
to the Pacific States and Terri
tories, and in addition to the
and agricultural
products. would make this the
best line Of railroad upon the
continent for interchange, assur-
ing ample freights both ways.
1t is very strange that capitalists
have SO long neglected this
splendid opportunity for invest
ment.

waltzes and quadrilles. There never
was better chance for gooe-lookin8,

behavior and strict attention to business
would insure the capture Of an heiresa

have seen with my own eyes girl OF

beauty, brains and money, rejoicing
in the society of a boy of 16-and he
was cross-eyed and freckled. In New

THE COMMITTEE IN LoUIsIANA.-lt is
10 be sincerely hoped that the Committee
of Congress, now in New Orleans to in-
yestigate the political affairs in that State,
will be able 10 arrive at the facts. The Re-
publicans and Democrats in New Orleans
TO the Committee statements which they
promise to support by evidence. The Re-
publicans promise to show that there has
been not only continued intimidation of
Republican voters throughout the State
aud great number OF political assassina-
tions, but that the White League has been
engaged in this work; that the colored
people have been prescribed, driven from
the public schools, and discharged for po-
litical reasons from places where they were
employed. Whether these witnesses will
appear for the purpose in large numbers is
exceedingly doubtful, for the testimony
will be published, and every man who tells
the truth concerning these ruff1ans and
their conduct will be marked as the victim
of fresh persecution. On the other hand
the Democrats claim that they can show
that the election was fair one, that they
carried the State and that the frauds of the
Returning Board alone deprived them OF
their rights.

Trouble Brewing In Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 25.-The Senate
met to-day at 10 A. NJ, with no quorum
present, all the Republican members alb
senting themselves for the purpose of pre-
venting any of their number from being
unseated. The sergeant-at-arms, with as
sistants who were appointed temporarily
by the president, was instructed to arrest
the absentees and bring them before the
bar Of the Senate, and, proceeding in this
duty, one Of the assistants was fired on by
Senator Parlin. of Pensacola, who alleges,
however, that he was first fired on by the
assistant sergeantatarms, Tengle. Three
shots were fired nobody was hurt.
Considerable excitement ensued, and the
matter was reported to the Senate.
\ resolution was offered calling on Gov
ernor Stearns to furnish military to compel
the presence of the absentees, but The reso-
luton was voted down by vote of to 3,
and committee was appointed to investi-
gate the whole matter.

succeed Gilbert, commences tomorrow.

Fire in the Navy Department.
WASHINGTON, d. C. JAN, %. 1875.

WASHINGTON, d. G. JAN, %. 1875.
The Navy Department caught fire in the
upper story about halfpast twelve O'Clock
to-day, and spread rapidly, but was con.
fined to the floor on which it originated.
The rooms were stored generally with re-
cords. The upper floor was completely
flooded with water, and many of the re-
cords have been seriously damaged. Near
ly all the Bureau officers and Chiefs OF
Divisions made preparations for removing
the books and records from their respective
offices in the event of the spreading of the
flames. Some of the employees and officers
of the navy on duty in the building were
in danger of sufocation while attempting
to remove valuable records.
An investigation shows that the building
is as much damaged by water as by flames
1t is thought the fire originated by de-
fective fiue, as the room in which it wa:
first discovered was unoccupied. Nearly
all the papers destroyed can be re-supplied
The Secretary's Office proper, in the wins
of the main building, was not damaged
though every preparation was made fol
removing the furniture and official papers

Two hundred and four railroad pass

Two hundred and four railroad passen-
gers were killed, and nine hundred and
seventy-eight injured in this country last
year, against two hundred aud seventy.
six killed and twelve hundred and eighty
three injured in 1873. This is a decrease
of about one-fourth. Doubtless the number
will continue to diminish as improvements
in rails, machinery, switches and signals
shall be made.

sUNBURY, JANUARY 90, 1875.

THE bill introduced in the State Senate
in favor of granting the press more liberty,
is lust in itself, as it recognizes the press IN
a manner somewhat gratifying. Such
law as is proposed will prevent speculative
or malicious prosecutions, and will not
prevent the easy recovery OF damages
where real libel is published. Noprluci-
ple maintained in the present libel law is
put aside in this, but the privilege OF show
ing the truth Of statements made, and OF
the absence of malice, is clearly given in
this proposed law.
The time has come when the press de-
serves some consideration in this business.
1t not unfrequently happens that parties
engage in libel suits, with no other purpose
than to get money! sort of character
speculation, or levying of blackmail We
are confident in the belief that in this State
there is far less purpose on the part of the
press to willingly libel any person than
there is on the part of persons to catch at
anything that may be said in the papers as
a cause for a suit for libel

A New Orleans correspondent OF news

and the dispatches of General Sheridan,
gives an account of the treatment of that
officer by the gallant people whose chivalry
he has SO ei!sctually suppressed. To hate
General Sheridan, says the correspondent,
appears just ROW to be religion with them
and to defame him the duty of every good
citizen lie has been hung in efigy sew
eral tines and gross caricatures OF him
appear in every shop-windOw. In the

he is insulted and hissed at, notwithstand-

OUR neighbor Of the Democrat probably
thinks that his readers have forgotten VIXEN
he lectured the Democratic officers Of the
County, several years ago, for giving par:
of their advertising TO his friend of the Ga
-etk, claiming that ''to the victors belonged
the spoils.r But since the Republican
Commissioners gave him a taste last year,
in giving him portion of their advertis-
ing, and paying dearly for the whistle, he
has changed his tactics, and is now trying
to secure the patronage from the other Re-
publican officers. To show that you are
consistent, neighbor, you had better recon-
mend to the Democratic officers to share
their patronage. They are strictly party
bound, and you had better advise them to
try your recommendation. They will un-
doubtedly feel at liberty to comply with
your present views. Consistency thou
art jewel" Jacob Now let us see that
YOU practice the doctrine you preach.

The new postal law, since its practical
workings have begun, is not very popular
with the country postmasters, and they are
loudly grumbling. Under the the old law
their salaries were based on the number OF
stamps they canceled-now it is on the
number sold. But it often happens, they
gay, that persons in the country buy large
amounts of stamps in the cities and use
them for their letters. Heretofore such
letters have counted in rating salary DOW
they form no part of the rating. and will
thus work a considerable reduction. Be-
sides this, the postages on newspapers have
heretofore been paid at the Office of delive-
nv and the commissions thereon had con-
siderable part of the salaries of country
offices. Under the new law, however, these
postages are paid in the large cities where
such periodicals are published, and this
win make most important reduction in
small Office salaries.
