If Mr.. Tiden would take up and dispose
of each member of the Field family seri-
atm as he disposed Of Cyrus W Field, the

(From the New York Sum-
Mr.. w. NJ. Evarts is fond of making
epigrams His latest is, that in the re-
belllOn the South lost all but honor and has
lost 10 congressional action all it saved from
the rebellion. What did W. NJ. Evarts lose
when he went into the fraudulent cabinet?
(F rom the Cincinnati Commercial (Rep)
If Grant is needed for third term, he
will be needed for life, and we should reach
clear understanding without delay. The
iormallty OF elections every four years
might perhaps be dispensed with after a
time.
From the Fayetteville sentinel)

still greater savings may be expected.
The Democratic party points TO this saw
ing $1,000, 600 by the last legislature as ar
argument why the party should be kent in
power in the state. Ii ia argument stron- |

From the Milwaukee Sentinel Rep1
Gen. Grant is reported to have advised
