We denOunce the hnprovidencs which, in eleven

useless expense without accommodating any foT
their redemption.
We denounce the financial mbecility and immortality
OF that party which, during eleven years Of peace has
made no advance toward resumption, preparation
for resumption, but instead has obstructed resump

surplus income, and, while annually protesting 10 in

enacted fresh hncrances thereto As such hindrance
denouuce the resumption clause Of the act Of 1875
and demand its repeal.
We demand a judicous system Of preparation by
wise finance, which shall enable tee Nation

On Tuesday evening, shortly after re-
firing for the night, the matron of the
home went down TO the front door and
found little girl stranger calling loudly
for help, snugly wrapped and laid upon
a bundle that proved to be clothing for
the little one. A note was also found,
written in lady's hand, plain and neat.
The little one is nice, healthy-loOking
girl, apparently about eight weeks old.
The letter read as follows:

William Crownsheet, while eating his
lunch during saturday noon hour az the
Valley shops, unfolded "a tempting piece
of cheese and saw the following lines
which attracted his attention, on the
newspaper wrapper:
Every man who wishes to cherish the
loving hearts of his household, will lay
of the cares OF business with his work
ing clothes, and carry cheerfulness and
smiles into his home"
''Now that's right sensible piece"
observed William critically. ''I'll be
blamed If don't try that thing and see
if it won't help the old wonian's jaw aud
the young ones yOwl."
AS he came near home in the evening
he put on smile that made his smutty
face look like a potato the wheelbarrow
had run over, and going Into the house
slapped down his pliciSy, jerked OF his
dicky and danced a hOrnpipe on the

Grants Committee.

1t is now said that Grant never intend
ed that the gentlemen he named to go to
New Orleans to witness the counting OF
the votes of Louisiana should confer
with the Democrats. His desire was not
to have an honest count; but committee
present to urge upon Kellogg and Parker
and the Returning Board the policy they
have pursued. 1t is further said that or
ders have been issued to put the Brook
lyn Navy Yard and the ships in a condi-
tion for active duty. This is menace to
the American people and American Con
gress; and shows that the liberties of the
people are to be tampered with, that a
Radical President may be chosen by a
half-dozen negroes. notwithstanding a
majority of the Electoral votes are fairly
opposed to it, backed up by popular
majority of 100000. We cannot believe
that the people will allow their voice to
he thus suppressed; nor do we believe
the intelligent members of the Republi
can party will stake the peace of the
country upon such a crisis. 1t is terrible
