FUED. GRANTS resignation as Lieutenant
In the army TO accept position as civil en-
gneer on a railroad is no doubt an indica-
ton that his chances for promotion are great
er among railroad men than in the army.
A DISPATCH from Growers Gap, West
Virginia, says the town is in panic ovcrthe

saying the county should do 50. Trains do
not stop at til" place.
THERE is mourning among the Dcmocra-
cy in Chicago on account Of the returns be
ing counted out for violations Of law. The
Republicans are surely but steadily succeed
ing to the offices of trust in various States.
Thus do all things work together for good.
HEREAFTER it will not be necessary TO
abuse a man when a candidate for Congress.
Just elect him and his brother Senators will
abuse him more frequently, for less cause
and in more clastc and elegant dictiOn lhan
ordinarily commanded by his constituency.
Ir l. rumorcd that Bob Ingcrsoll is the
latest convert TO spiritualism. If true, his
punishment, though terrible, is just. lie
will now have an opportunity TO converse
with many a kindred spirit. Noltaire, Paine
and other infdels will no doubt gladly re-
ceivc Robert into their confidence and en-
tighten him as to the mysteries Of the here
after.
PRESIDENT GARFIELD is in receipt Of
letter from a Socialist of Chicago in which
the latter denounces the President as being
as great Gespot as the Car of Russia. Nj
hilist, Socialists and other "agitators" who
seek for glory by the death of rulers, will
find the United States a poor country in
which TO carry out their plans. Hemp is to
be found in abundance and is admirably
adapted for the putting a stop to "tcrrorists."
ANOTHER Ute war is feared. prom-
nent citizen of Denver just returned from
the Uncomphagre Agency, says: The indica-
tions point TO an Ute outbreak at ali early
day. The settlers have their cabins loop
holed and sleep Oh arms, in anticipation Of
an outbreak. There are about seventeen
families in Uncomphagre valley and only
100 soldiers at cantonmemt, while the Utes
can muster 700 warriors. The settlers have
petItioncI the governor forproterion in case
of need.
MIR. O'BmEN, the fellow "who would
swear to anything for five dollar BILL" has
received his sentence and is now languishing
behind the prison bars. During the excite
ment of the Presidential contest, when the
Morey letter was so prominently before the
country, Ol}rien swore that he personally
knew III. J.. Morey, to whom the letter was
addressed. Subsequent happenings proved
him to have perjured himself, and he is now
reaping his reward. The Democracy must
have been scarce Of material when they were
required TO use such men to further their |
plans.
A PUBLISHED statement shows that from |
COCO to 1000 people are homeless from the
floods on the Missouri and many entirely |
helpless, and will need aid for three months
TO clothc and feed themselves and get grain
TO plant. Gov. George III. Hand, of Yank-
ton, and others will receive contributions.
One hundred and thirty people were rescued
from Maysville, where they have been sur
rounded by ice and water for two weeks.
There are twenty families in river bend -
miles below here who cannot be reached on
account Of the heavy ice surrounding them,
and have not been heard from since the food
for them ami heroic efforts are being made
10 reach them. Fifty people are imprisoned
at Mechlin.
