An Iowa woman has been found who
claims that in his salad days Gen. GRANT
was very "attcntiye" to her. "Ulick,"
said she, "would say to me, Let's gather
flowers and see which will have the most
kinds when We get through We always
called him 'Ulick,' and while he was
courting me and wanted to marry me my
father used to plague me, saying, he is
the greenest looking boy ever saw " and
smiling to herself she added, land he was
green looking fellow. When the flowers
were gathered We would arrange them
nicely and exchange boquets.''
The villa which Queen V1cToRIA has Sc
cured for her stay in Mentone is ioftily
situated at the extremity Of the East bay,
at no great distance from the Gorge of st.
Louis, the present boundary of France
and Italy. 1t is not sufficiently large to
accommodate the whole of the queen S
retinue, and two smaller villas close by
have also been secured. Surrounded By
olive oSchards and protected from the
northern blasts by the lofty range Of
mountains at the rear, the royal residence
enjoys chat perfect privacy her majesty so
thoroughly appreciates atail times. The
views from the terrace and flower gardens
are transccndently beautiful. On clear

ecutive override the popular will. The peo-
pie have so exercised this power all these
years, instead Of entrusting it to any Cover
nor and Council.
But two years ago, in the change from an
nual to biennial sessions of the Legislature,
the term of State officers was extended year
but no such extension in case Of County Off
GERS. 1t therefore followed that on the first
day of January last, one County commits
siOner for each County, sixteen in all, several
Clerks of Courts, Sheriffs, and County Attor-
neys went out of Office. There could be no
election by the people until September.
Hence here were vacancies to be filled, either
by the Courts or the Governor and Council,
or other provisions of law were to be fol-
lowed. This was an emergency such as had
never arisen in the State, and will probably
never arise again. Looking the situation in
the face, in the light of the past history of
our legislation, any fair minded man, of any
party, would say, let the known will of the
people of each County be regarded by the
Governor and Council, and these vacancies
filled accordingly. The Council so desired.
In the sixteen counties the outgoing Off
GERS were Republican in ten, and of opposite
politics in six. The State officers had had
their terms extended It was fair, in har-
mony with the popular will of each county,
with the full spirit of this Constitutional
Amendment prolonging the official tenure,
and certainly all correct ideas of Civil Service
Reform, that the outgoing officers have their
terms extended by appointment until the
people could pass upon the question of who
they wanted for those places at the coming
election. The Council has been severely
criticized as partisan by the Governor in his
public arraignment, and in all his political
organs, and one of the Conventions putting
him in nomination in one of its resolutions
gravely charged that by the action Of the
Council democrats had no rights to office
which Republicans were bound to respect"
And yet, when the Governor made nominal
lions for these sixteen counties, instead of
regarding the peoples will, he nominated
his own political friends, except in a single
instance, to fill all these vacancies. The
Council at once confirmed all his nomina-
tons of his own men in Fusion counties, but
rejected those in Republican counties. By
an immediate nomination of the same men
over again, or of others of his party friends,
for those places, he showed determined
partisanship that must end in forcing Off
GERS upon the people of ten counties, against
their will or holding vacancies in all these
offices for year, to the serious inconvenience
Of the people. When that alternative was
presented to the Council, without moments
hesitation they subordinated every other
consideration to that of public necessity and
confirmed all these partisan nominations,
except in the eight following cases, where
no detriment could come to the public good:
They rejected his nominations for clerks of
conrtc IN Cumberland Oxford and AndroS.

What we might, and should do

Mr.. Editor:-There has been a great
deal done to promote the elevation, educa-
ton, and moral culture of our people, by
the general government, the state and
many religious bodies. But, as compared
with several States of the South. 1 often
ask myself, what have we in North Ala
bama, done for ourselves ? Many of us
complain, and perhaps justly: too, because
the government has not done more for us
But let me say to my people, that we have
a brain, and let US exercise and put it In

that 1t be gotten up entirely clear of sec ia
rianism: That no eligible lady or gentle
man desiring to become teacher or pupil
of the school, shall be debarred on account
of color or religious belief. That we ask
our friends in the county to participate in
this by contributing, and becoming officers
as well as those in town,-both men and
women. that we call on the white friends
of education. Northern and Southern, to
aid in the undertaking. An underta king
of th is kind should be clear of political or
all color of any scheme for individual bon

should not become an officer or teacher by
