President Grants seventh annual
message was delivered to Congress on
Tuesday, and is the longest, as well as
one of the ablest messages he has
written. La the conclusion, he sum-
marizes the matters most urgently re-
quiring attention at this time to be-
/. the duty to afford every child good
common school education; 3, no tennets
to be taught in public schools, and ed
ucation to be compulsory; 8, declare
the Church and State forever separate;
4, drive out licensed immortality, such
as polygammy and the importation of
women for lllegitimate purposes; and,
S, enact such laws as will insure a
speedy return to sound currency, such
as will command the respect of the
world. We will publish the message
in full next week.

A Shooting ARRAY at Mifain.

Correspondence of Platteville Witness.
Ed. WITNEss:-Last Sunday a most
disgraceful affair happened at Miffiin,
Iowa County, which came very near
ending in the death Of one or more of
the citizens Of the place. The parties
were Heny E. Moore and three Of the
Smith brothers, all residents of Milf
fin. The Smith boys had grudge
against Mr.. Moore, and Sunday morn
ing, as several men were together
Henry Smith called one of them
a ide and told him to watch him
(Smith) that day; for, said he, | am
going to do something, at the same
tire pointing in the direction of
Moore's house. Smith was on horse
back, and rode off in the direction of
where Moore and some other men were
standing, holding horse. Moore was
watering his horses. As Smith rode
up, holding a revolver in his hand,
Moore said to him: "Harry, [ am
told you are going to shoot me; if you
are, now is your time" Smith said it
was damned lie; at the same time
presenting revolver and freing
at Moore, the ball entering forward
of the elbow and came out back of the
elbow, fracturing the bone. Smith
put the whip to his horse and has not
been seen since. One of the other
brothers called ont to Smith to come
back and kill Moore, or he would kill
him himself. He Buck Snrith) drew
revolver, whereupon Moore, with one
arm dangling, knocked him down, and
Buck begged OF Moore not to strike
him again.
Constable Cushman, clothed with a
warrant, started in pursuit OF Henry
Smith, but at noon to-day, he had not
been found. DR.. Cory was sent for
and dressed the wounds of Moore.
Mr.. Moore will not swear out a war
rant for Buck Smith, and I fear the
storm of Sunday has riled the water OF

Congressman Lamar, of Mississippi,
was chosen chairman of the Democratic
caucus to nominate Speaker and 9TH
er officers of the House of Representa-
-tives. last Saturday, and on taking the
chair made a speech, in which, among
other things, he said:
The grandest aspiration of the Dem
ocratic party is, and its browning glory
will be, to restore the constitution to
its primitive strength and authority,
and to make it the protector ofevery Sec
ton and of every State in the Union,
and of every human being, of every
race, color and condition, in the land.
Viewed abstractly, restoring "the
constitution to its primitive strength"
sounds very fine, but when We call to
remembrance the fact that according
to Mr.. Lamar and his party, short
time ago, the "prin.itive strength of
the constitution" amounted to nothing
against the will ola sovereign State which
wished to secede from the Union, we
may possibly get at what he really
means. Not any ''prtmittUe strength"
(according to the Southern idea } for
US, if you please.
AS to making the constitution 'the
protector of every human being, of
every race, color and condition, in the
land, that is good oIe, and COM
mends MIR. Lamar to the country as a
man of remarkable cheek, the Republi-
can party having but very recently &C
complished that object in spite of the
most obstinate opposition of the party
to which MIR. Lamar belongs.
Democratic papers have been saying
for some time that they were tired of
hearing about the Republican party
having maintained the constitution and
estab lished the equal rights of citizens;
that these things had been done SO long
since, they wanted something new:
but here on the first opportunity that
offers, comes forward their chosen lead
err and says that the great work Of the
Democratic party is to do just what the
Republican party has already done.
