FOR SHERIFF,
ISAAC GRUBB.
FOR CORONER,
DAVID C. ROSE.
ANOTHER CABINET CHANGE.

The resignation of Postmaster General
Jewell, and that too as the telegraphit
dispatches state, at the request of the Pres
ident, even in the midst OF the wholesale
changes resently made in the Presidents
Cabinet, is an event that cannot fail to ex.
cite public interest to an extent that Ii
has not been awagened to for sometime in
Government control. 1t comes without a
ripple of foreshadowing, that the President
and the Postmaster General ever were
personal enemies. The fitness Of Mr..
Jewell for the position, was judged by
by Grant who had him recalled
from Russia, whittier he had gone
as Minister for this Government
to accept the position which he has now
resigned from, after it had been refused by
Hon. Eugene Hale, Of Maine. He has
always been regarded as strong admins
tra,ion Republican, and under his manage,
ment this department has been skilliully
controlled. Improvements have been made
and the whole postal service SO great y
perfected as to command admiration.
The telegTaphic dispatches are brief, and
assign no cause tor this sudden change, bu,
we are forced to the conclusion
that it is to serve some ulterior
object of the President 1t had been the
intention of Mr.. Jewell to resign his posi-
ton some months ago, but he concluded to
withhold it and retire from Office with the
President. But on Monday afternoon
after transacting some business with the
President, that officer turned to the Post
Master General and informed him tha,
his resignation would de accepted, which
was Immediately rendered by Mr.. Jewell
No reason is assigned for it, and in Wash
ipgton it creates considerable speculation
To-day the President will appoint, J. n
Tyner, the present Second Assistant Post.
master General to the position. He is q
resident of Peru, Indiana. He was elected
to Congress in 1869 at special election ir
place of Daniel H. Pratt. He served thret
full terms in Congress and on leaving the
House became Second Assistant Postmaster
General, in which position he had con,
siderable opportunity to become ftmiliari-
zed with the duties OF the department.

A Bad style OF HOrsemonsh1p in New
York,
From the St. Louis Times.

Some of the New York fashions fud
quite amusing, especially the equestrianship
of the ladies and gentlemen. Being from
the rural districts of the West, my tastes are
not cultivated. l often go out to Central
Park just to have good laugh at the eques-
trians as they go bouncing by in all their
beauty and pride on hard trotting horses.
1t is considered extremely countrified and
old fashioned to sit with ease and grace In
she saddle. Highland jump is the style,
ard the higher you jump the more exquisite
1t is thought.
The New York equestrian, however deli
cately the horse may trip along, never fails
to show daylight between his or her figure
and the saddle with every motion of the
horse.
1t is my candid opinion that these New
Yorkers know better, but can't 10 better.

The sentiment which comes to us all the
way from Georgia, is one of loyalty and
patriotism. As soon as the news had
reaahed there of the slaughter of General
Custer and his men by the Sioux Indians,
three Of the best companies in that State
rendered their services to the Secretary of
War. Among those who rendered their
services, is General Young, of Georgia
who was distinguished officer in the
Confederate army, classmate with Custer
at West Point, and often confronted him
in battle, but is now anxious to avenge his
cruel death.

fendent ,uin equity. The plaintiff states
that in the year of eighteen hundred and
sixty-five she was married to the defendant
-, in the county of Lincoln, and State
of Kentucky, and they lived together in
lawful wedlock for several years, until
dark clouds of discord began to lower
over the sky of welded felicity, and the
minacious lightning of disunion began to
dart its lurid flames across clouds of astra-
mental blacknes6 obscuring every star Of
hope and happiness, whose resplendent
glory illumined the dawn of the first brief
years OF her welded life when she first gave
her hand and undivided heart to the defen-
dant, who, in the sultry month of July,
1867, when, after having been warmly and
snugly wintered within the fond embraces
of her loving arms and closely nestled to a
heart that beat alone for the defendant, he
showed his base, black ingratitude by
aba ndoning her bed and board without any
cause whatever, except the Unsuitable thirst
for novelty, which is the great predominant
character Of defendants nature. The de-
fendant has abandoned and basely deserted
the plaintiff for more than year without
any provisions for food and raiment and
left her upon the cold charities of an un-
feeling world, and the plaintiff being en-
tirely dependent upon her daily labor for
support, she desires and prays the odous

WE notice that move has been
made in our Legislature to make the
Anamosa States Prison a rc1ormatory
institution. That is. to have the Young
and those likely to be benefited by
reformatory measures. sent To the An
amosa prison. and the old and hard
ened offenders confined al Fl. Madi-
son. We like this idea of grading our
penitentiaries. Heretofore. under the
old plan. we have never been able TO
see why we should have more than
one penitentiary, but we sec very
weighty reasons why. if il can be eff
feeted. the convicts to our penitenti-
airy should be separated. so as to keep
apart the incorrigible, hardened GRIM
inals and those showing signs of be-
ing susceptible Of improvement and
reform. so that the influence of the
worst criminals may not be thrown
around and exerted npon those who
may be reformed. We accord hearth
lv with this idea. aud hope our Lcgis-
lature will put il in a shape to make
ii practicable.

was for Il long time "a mystery; but il
has recently been revealed that il en-

saturated in the juice Of tobacco
stems, the straw paper makes a .'fill-

the genuine leaf. La fact, il is some
times impossible TO detect the delicate
film of paper interrupted with leaves
in the finished cigar, or neatly folding

arc told, IL serves admirably, the pa

To such refinement of art has this

Of machines rolled over the sheet Of

There has been another revival Of
the foolish story OF q difference be-
tween President Grant and Secretary
KristoW, and q .'rumor' is for some
purpose, being noised abroad that
when tho whisky trials in St. Louis
arc fnishcd--to-wit, iii a week OF ten
days--thc President designs displac-
ing not only Secretary Bristow, but
all the officers, including District At
tnrney Dyer, who have had any hand
in tho prosecutions. There cannot
be, there Is not, a particle of truth in
any gossip of this kind. Had the
President not favored the 'sraids" it
would have been simple matter to
him TO have prevented them. The
time for removals, fiat all, was when
the subject of frauds was fresh, and
before tho public mind had become
informed as to their extent and mag
nitude. 1t is greatly to the credit Of
President Grant that, although the
charges, rs first made, involved some
of his particular personal friends, he
required their resignation, and di-
rected that the most vigorous meas.
ures be taken for the full investigation
of the facts, lot them strike whom
they might.
