ur. .Joseph's Resignation.
For the Republican.

Mr.. EDITOR In common with most
of the members of the Water Witch
Fire Company, and our citizens gene
rally, feel sorry that MIR. James Il.
Joseph, the efficient and gentlemanly
driver of the Water Witch team, has
felt himself 50 much "aggrieved by
outside interference as to cause him
to sever his connection as driver with
that company. Mr.. Joseph obtained
his position as driver of the Water
Witch team through the recommends
ton of many of our best citizens; aud
worthily has he filled that position up
to the present time. He has proved
hims-If in every respect sober, cour-
teous and amiable man, and one fully
skilled in his profession as driver and
tho,ough knowledge of horses and their
capacities. He found the Water Witch
team in a nervous, excitable condition,
difficult to manage and weighing less
than one thousand pounds each. In a
rem arkablv short time, by his humane
and skillful mal agement of them, he
brought them to their present condition,
weighing over eleven hundred pounds
apiece, and so tractable and gentle that
even boy can drive them. Mr.. J.
has been accustomed 20 handling and
driving horses from early boyhood, and
his system of managing them must re
commend itself to all lovers of that noble
animal. Besides his qualifications as a
horseman, Mr.. J. has much to recon
mend him to our people. sober, faithful
to III, nnti4s, honest and Hpr ght. He
vas among he first to volunteer i'll de-
( Ice OF the Union, and conuected HIM
self with The Third Delaware Regiment
and faithfully served through the war.
IL. is brother of D. d. joseph, ke-p,r
of the Cape May lighthouse, who went
into the war private, and came out at
its close COlOn-t. Mr.. Joseph will
have the best wishes OF our citizens in
any enterprise or business he may +n
gage in, and he leaves his present 10
sition as driver of the Water Witch En-
gin-. with the sincere regrets of the
company. lie will be employed by the

The Sprague.Conkling Affair.

4
of the New York "Times," Aug. 18th,
says that Mrs. Sprague is still in that
city at the Narragansett Hotel. The
=" Times :" correspondent went to her
and requested that she would permit a
statement to be made with view OF
relieving the accounts CT the affair from
their appearance of one-sidedness. She
replied that she would wait to see what
the New York papers contained, and
would then say whether she desired to
make a statement.
The newspapers came at noon, and a
second application was made to obtain
denial or correction of any Of the pub.
lished statements. Mrs. Sprague de-
Fclined, however, to say anything what
ever. There were rumors about that
Mr.. Sprague had been in town during
the day, and that he had instituted
proceedings for separation.
The rumors appear to I've entirely
untounded. Certainly no service of pa
pers has been made upon Mrs. Sprague,
as was reported. Mr.. sprague could
not be found at the places he usually
visits when in town. and he has prob.
bly, remained all day at Canonchet.
1t is regarded as somewhat significant
here, that the "Press," a paper known
as Mr.. Sprague's organ, and mostly
owned by the Sprague estate, has pub
Iished accounts OF the affair at the Pier
corroborating the story that Senator
Conklipg was driven away from Mr..
Sprague's house, one line OF a heading
declaring that there was no German
Professor concerned in the matter. To.
day the same paper publishes the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph.
"The half of the Sprague-C -Conkiine
matter has probably not been told; il
was lucky that the German music
teacher could be put forward as con
venient pretext. II it was all abou'
this verbose German, why did thu
sprague family 60 into a neighborinf
hotel? As it is family matter, anc
as we wish well to all the interested
parties, it is to be hoped that the scan
dal will be permitted to rest and tina
the domestic peace ofex-Senator spragu'
will be no further disturbed. Th'
load which he has to carry is enough
for any ordinary mortal. 1t reall!
does not appear what business Mr.
Conkling had at the Sprague mansion
and the ex-senator cannot be blamet
for wishing to be lord and master of hi

Of surprises. Such property as ne
thought valuable has, thus far, proved
valuslsss, while that which he had
mentally charged of to profit and loss,
having ne expectation Of getting . pen

Only few months ago, Cornelius j.
Vanderbilt, to whom Mr.. Greeley lent
thousands Of dollars without any Sc
curity beyond his word, paid every

would have amazed the lender, had he
been alive, more than anybody else In
the community. Now another windfall
IL is understood, has come, or ID
about 10 come, to the heirs of the late
editor Of the Tribune.
Some years before his death he had
been induced, very injudiciously, II
was then believed, TO buy tract Of
wild land in West Virginia, for which
he paid 10000 or l2,oe0, or more, and
which he subsequently decided to b
Literally q permanent investment. II
ia now sjd that the land has so improt'
ed of late that Mr.. Greeley's Daughters
have Just been offered 100000 for 1t
and they may get much more. Mean

Mr.. Greeley left to his children, ant
which he considered almost the only

Justly, for he had for years derived
steady income from them-are withou

years.
One Of the "Tribune" cKiefs favor

be conscious of his present tinancia

more astonished when . political bum
