HON. CHAS. G. WILLIAMS.
On General Grant and General Kruger.

On General Grant and General Kruger.
From a recent speech delivered by
Hon. Chas. G. Williams, we take the
following extracts;
Mr.. Williams of Wisconsin: Mr..
Speaker, the line of remark which [ had
laid out for myself to pursue upon this
question went clear OF all partisan
feelings or personal illusions. Least
of all did I expect to notice formally
anything which might have been said
on the other side of the Chamber. But,
sir, it seems that gentlemen there re-
gard no constitutional argument quite
complete which is not freely interlard-
ed with charges of conspiracy, foul or
dark, against the leaders of the repub-
lican party; and when anathemas in
this direction are exhausted, there
stands the ever9QnE e1slent returning
board of Louisiana, upon whose devot-
ed head imprecations may be piled
with impunity. think, sir, that this
mode of argument reached it's climax
in this Chamber when the gentleman
from New York Mr., Willis. on Satur-
day last, INDUCED in q vein of remark
which now pause to notice, and my
motive for so doing will presently
appear. Iquote a few detached sent
ences from his speech as specimen
bricks Of the whole structure. He
said
I'VE have universal suffrage, No
man is denied the elective franchise.
No man is exempt from the RESPONSE
bility which it's exercise imposes
He proceeds:
"But gentlemen, when unprincipled
party leaders recovered from the shock
of their defeat they conjured up as a
fiend in their hearts.

TELEGRAPH TO BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 12-The entire
system of telegraph line and Offices OF
the Baltimore &Ohio Railroad Com

matt, was to-day transferred from the
Western Union to the Atlantic & Paci-
tic Telegraph, giving to the latter the
benefit Of 140 new offices, and addition
81 route for it's Western business, with
the use of over 5000 miles Of wire
heretofore included in the Southern
division of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. These lines and
offices will, from to-day, constitute the
Baltimore & Ohio Division of the
Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Company.
The local business of the Marietta &
Cincinnati Division Will not be includ-
ed in the new arrangement until May /,
when the contract with the Western
Union Company on that division
expires in accordance with the requir-
ed three months notice given last week.

They had chief magistrate already
practiced in assaults upon the rights of
his countrymen, who had already caus-
ed every honest cheek to blush with
shame and every honest heart to throb
with madness by the use Of the bayonet
and cannon in suppressing the voice of
the peaple. O, how American
manhood is debased, how American
soldership is sullied by the example of
a Rugerl Unhappy republic when the
defenders of its people become their
oppressors"
He said, speaking Of the President:
."He evidently had learned a lesson
from Caesar Borgia, who, after con-
quering Romagna, appointed Ramiro
d'Orco as governor and gave him
hmitless authority. He oppressed the
people by his baseness and cruelty
when Caesar BoTgia, who had instigated
all, intent only upon his schemes, with
a view of escaping the reproaches
which were justly his due, caused
Ramiro to be massacred in the market
place, before the eyes Of all the people"
<
an Kruger he found another Ramiro."
I bear the gentleman from New
York no feeling of unkindness and
disrespect. But, Mr.. Speaker, may I
inquire in all seriousness, is this the
language of statesman or the raying
of a maniac? Laughter General

On Friday evening February 10Th.
the second of an intended series of three
lectures was given in the Lake Shore
Church, Somers, by Prof. Maryatt of
the Kenosha High School, who took
for his subject" Hydrogen Gas illustrat-
ing the same by profuse practical and
instructive experiments.
The close attention and marked
interest Of the audience if taken as a
criterion establish beyond a doubt that
the Prof. is fully equal to his subject,
and as an experimentalist in chemistry
is q success.
The lecture was supplemented by
songs, recitions, declarations, select
readings Sc. from scholars and teacher
of Dist. No. II, Somers.
On account Of the amount of work
before the school and the shortness OF
the time it is thought best not to
attempt third. The school and
teacher extend to Supt. Flett, Prof
Maryatt and the friends who have
given them their liberal patronage
their sincere thanks for their aiding
them in their work.
The proceeds Of the two lectures will
be used in procuring reference books
in History and Geography for use in
said school. G. M. SMITH.

One who is anxious to discover the
causes and remedies for the prevailing lack
Of honesty traces the matter to the credit
system as we'll as the financial calamities
now upon us. A thousand honest men
are put at the mercy of a single dishonest
man to pay his debts. If the one pockets
his MONEY and refuses to pay, he deprives
a thousand who are anxious to do so. The
best way to get capital is to work for it.
Work for wages till you have money OF
your own. TO use another's capital, il
you lose it you must replace it. When a
man finds he owes more than he can pay
he begins to inquire how ne can get rid OF
his debts. If all he has will not pay all he
owes, then less than all, he thinks. will
pay part. and he hides a portion or all
from creditors. Learn to make money a
year before you spend it, then yo't will buy
less and buy cheaper. Other things being
equal, dishonesty prevails in proportion to
the facilities for escaping obligations. The
wise man has said that the borrower is
servant to the LENDER" and he ought to be
till he returns what he has borrowed.
When one has had the benefit of another's
labor, property, person, skill and all are
bound tor the equivalent. The ancient
Roman and Jewish codes held that man )
lite and labor should he bound for his debts.
This may appear, and sometimes is, severe,
but strict justice says, what doth the
Lord thy God require of thee but to do
JUSTLY" "Owe no man anything" if you
can help it; but if you do. place what you
have at the disposal Of your creditor till
all is paid.

Resist the Begi ming.

The Arabs have fable Of miller VIII,
was one day startled by Il c;lmel's nose
thrust in the window of the room where
he was sleeping.
1T is very cold outside" said the camel;

The nose was let in. and then the neck,
and finally the whole body. Presently the
miller began to be extremely inconveni-
enccd by the ungainly companion he had
obtained. in room certainly not large
enough for both.
IF you are inconvenienced you may

The moral of this fable concerns us all.
When temptation occurs. we must not
yield to it. We must Lot allow so much
as its nose" to come in. Everything like
sin is to be turned away from. He who
yields even in the smallest degree will
soon be entirely overcome; and the last

"Ada,,i's Ale"

Does it not seem incredible that men will
vitiate taste and stupefy brain by the use
of alcoholic beverages when Nature freely
supplies the drink OF drinks-pure water:
Not even the nl,iest OF any of the Cali
tornia wines will prove as useful Wine is
no more he;llthful than alcohol diluted in
water. Suppose Il wine contains seven per
cent. Of alcohol-=aid that surely would
be light enough-it is no more healthful
than water with seven per cent. of alcohol
in it. The wine is practically just that,
with a little coloring matter added. Often.
very often, there is an addition of poison
Gus, adulteratmg stuff. There is no doub;
that wine is better than lager beer. how
ever. This is wretched swill. putting Il
man out and making his brain stupid. The
best drink when you are sick or well,
when you are hot or cold, indeed, under all
possible circumstances. is water.
