An unprofltabIe Controversy.

ouite A controversy has been developed
nv the account of Hon. Chauncy p. Dcpew
Of conversation between himself and
General Grant, that took place some years
aso, This account appeared in brief
form soon after the death of General
Grant, and has been brought out more at
length by letter from Col. Fred Grant to
Mr.. Depew and his reply thereto.
There appears to be disposition mani
fest on the part of sundry democrats and
democratic papers to discredit the YER
sion Of Mr.. Depew and to defend the
course of President Johnson, but thus
far without apparent success. Among
the prominent gentlemen whose views
have been made public is Gen. Butler
who WAS at the time of the controversy
between johnson and Congress a member
Of the House and one Of the leaders In the
movement to impeach the President. He
was In position to know the facts in
the case as fully perhaps as any other
man. and his published version seems to
sustsin the conversation of General Grant
q reported by Mr.. Depew.
We do not sec the benefit that will come
from . discussion of this matter at this
time and think the correspondence that
rave 1t prominence, uncalled for and
indiscreet.

Nuptiai Vows.

Those of our readers who look at the

but few personal and family
friends present, and the happy pair i'm
mediatcly took the $50 A. NJ. train for a
brief bridal tour.
Mr.. McNcclie has been connected with
the REPORTER for some s years, has for
sevcralSears past occupied very accept
ably, the position of Local Editor and
Foreman, and we therefore feel special
interest in his welfare and take this OPP
portunity to extend our congratulations
wishing him and his bride prosperity
long life and all the joys incident to their
new relations in life.
The high contracting parties in this
case have the good fortune to be favoritcs
in our village of which their many warm
friends have given evidence of this by
contributing elegant and useful gifts to
bcautify their home. They certainly start
out on the matrimonial sea with favoring
breezcs and under bright skies. Bon

Questionable Economy.

Congressman Holman, known as the
great director, who has achieved ma
tional fame as such, has recently cxper-
fenced 10 slight degree the result of his
own policy. Recently a friend of Con-
gresham Holman occupying a diplomatic
post abroad complained that he couldn't
and that no gentleman could, live on the
salary attaching to the position. Mr..
Holman went to the secretary of state
about 1t, forcibly urging the facts in the
case. After he had finished Mr.. Bayard
informed him that the pay of the place
held BY his friend was formerly $4,000 a
years good living salary, but that when
the diplomatic appropriation bill was last
up for passage in the House he (Holman)
had succeeded In cutting the $4,000 down
TO the sum on which his friend says 1t Is
impossible to make both ends connect.

lnspect,on at Moose River.

We are glad that the suggestions made
public in the REPORTER last week have
been acted upon as will be seen by the
following from the State Capitol:
DR.. Young Of the State Board Of Health,
who visited the inspection station at Moose
River last week, says the large number of
French Canadians passing through the
place are inspected and vaccinated unless
this has recently been done, and that many
escape by passing in the night. A night
watch Is employed to stop them and call
the Inspector. DR.. Thornton is building
q speedily as possible fumigating sta
ton, where as completely rs possible the
clothing Of migrants Is to be disinfected.
Lumber operators are taking pretty
strict measures to prevent the appearance
of small pox In their camps. They will
neither employ men who have not been
vaccinated nor allow such in the camps.
