BY the passage of the new license
Law in this state the cities of Grand
Rs pids and Centralia will receive
$500 from each license grated to
saloons for retail purposes and 5000
for wholesaIing; $40 from each drug
gist permit issued for medicinal pur-
poses; $50 from each brewery in the
sa i territory. The saloon licenses
may be raised to $3.50 or $500 by a
plurality vote of the people at a
special election to be held in the
month of September next, to take
effect the following May and remain
in force for three years thereafter,
without change. This new law takes
the power of fixing the license fees
away from common councils and town
or village boards. The councils and
boards still retain the power of limit
ing the Number of saloons at the
prices fixed by the people at said
special election or at the minimum
fixed by the state, which is not less
than 5000 in cities and villages of
500 inhabitants Or over and in towns
Of less than 500 inhabitants 500,
which may be raised in towns by vote
of the people to $3.50 or $500. This
law will give quite general satisfaction
The people still retain their inherent
right to prohibit, if they so elect.

GEN. GRANT.

There is not much probability that
the life of General Grant can long be
prolonged. Judging from all that is
said in the newspapers We think his
condition is much worse than the
people at large suppose. There has
been universal sympathy expressed
for the chieftain who is engaged in his
last battle, in which he must. like the
rest of US, suffer certain defeat. In
this final struggle he is the same
determined man that he was in his
military life, aud while fighting his
enemy with all the silent energy of his
soul, is unawed by his constant nearer
approach. At such a time all the
mistakes that Gen. Grant has made
are forgotten. and nation extends its
sympathy. This. comes no freer from
the North than from the South.
Some of the most eloquent End tender
expressions of regard and sympathy
that we have seen anywhere have
been in the Southern press. Gen.
Grant deserves we'll of both sections.
His services to the country were ines
timable in his military capacity, and
his treatment of his fallen foes was
generous to a fault, and their press
appreciate it. Congress did graceful
thing in passing the retirement bill,
and so far as the American people are
concerned they have done their full
duty by the soldier who led our armed
hosts to victory. With his death
there will pass away the most conspic-
uous link between the exciting times of
war and the existing times of peace
The leader of the opposing armies has
already gone to his rest, though in
the inscrutible providence Of God the
man who, more than any other, made
a house of mourning of nearly every
home in the land, still lives to see
drawer men and better men fall about
him. But it will not be long before
the earth will be relieved of bis pres
ence, and very soon the last living
actor in the stirring scenes of '61 will
have passed away, and history, wild
erness of soldiers graves, and grand
Republic will be left to tell the story.
This rapid flight of time, noted by
the gray hairs and tottering step and
final death Of the hero of the nation,
is full of solemnity and full of warn
ing to us all. The children of 81 are
the young men and women of to-day,
and it is to be hoped that as they step
into the places of those who bore the
heat and the burden of the day for
them, and as they behold the ranks of
the veterans thinning. they will always
remember what it has cost to preserve
this Republic, and seek to strengthen
it by wise and patriotic action and
mutual concession among themselves.

Attempt to Rob a Paw Car

ATLANTA, Ga, July IA desperate
attempt to rob the Richmond and Dan
vile pay car was made in this city
this morning. Paymaster Groser ex-
pected to be moved early about 3 a, m.
he awoke and found himself travelling at
least forty miles an hour. The rapid
speed aroused his suspicious. He arose,
opened the car and put the brake on.
The train was moving up n steep grade
and soon came to a stand still. Groser
climbed on the supply car and approached
the engine; when half there he observed
a man climbing off the engine.
Where are you taking me?'' de-
manded Groser. 80 the Belt June
tion," was the answer. For what p
Groser asked. You'll find out soon
enough. You are the man we want, p
was the reply, and at the same instant the
man began firing at Groser. With hui
lets whistling about his head, the paymas-
ter made for his car and placed his cook
to watch the door. Groser then spTang
out and ran for help. He returned in half
an hour with a posse, but found the men
gone. The safe contained SO, 900 and was
not molested. Three men were seen neal
the place where the train stopped. One
has since been arrested.

RICHMOND, Va. July 1.-THE dele
gates to the state Republican convention.
which meets tomorrow, are arriving 10y
every train. From present indications
the fight for governor will be between
John S. Wise. and Attorney General
Blair. The friends of zach one are san
guine they have the majority. Wise's
friends claim hat he will be nominated on
the first ballot, while some of Blairs ad-
herents think Harry C. Bowen. who ex-
pects possibly to come in as a dark horse,
will get enough votes to defeat a nominal
ton on the first ballot and that then their
candidate will make a good showing
against Wise and possibly secure a nonii-
nation. Senator Malone is claimed as
Wise strongest support and he is consid-
cred indeed, the power behind the throne.

Directing to His Color.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The colored
man named Groen, who was the cause of
the controversy between ex. Secretary
Lincoln and Gen. Hazen a year ago, has
turned up again. At that time Hazen
declined to enlist Green in the signal
corps on the ground hat regiments of
cavalry and infantry had been set apart
for colored soldiers, but not signal corps
Secretary Lincoln, however, ordered his
enlistment in that corps, provided he
could pass the requisite examination.
Gree passed the examination and was
sent to Fort Myer to undergo a regular
course Of instruction. He performed all
the duties acceptably, and. with the other
members of his class, became eligible for
station duty. The signal observer at Pen
sacnla asked for an assistant, and was told
one would be sent He procured for him
board and rooms in his own boarding
place and made other arrangements to re-
ceiYe him. Green was the man selected
as the assistant and was sent to Pensacola.
On his arrival the signal service officer re-
fused to receive him because of his color.
The officer has now been summoned to
Washington for an explanation. The
colored man remains in charge at Pensa-
cola. 1t is stated at the chief signal
Office that Green was assigned at Pensa-
cola without any regard to his color, and
the officer who selected him did not know
at the time of the selection that Green
was n colored man.

year old daughter Of a well known citizen
named Vinson, Saturday, and forcibly
accomplished his purpose. Yesterday

desperate attack. Sheriff Holman and a
guard after giving warning, fired a volley,
instantly killing James Kelley and wound.

dead and wounded were carried away
and the leaders, after a short consultation
decided to postpone further hostilities.

Washington Notes

WASHINGTON, July l4.-Some adverse
criticisms of the government agricultural
reports has called forth a long statement
from Prof. Dodge, statistician OF the ag-
ricultural bureau, with reference to wheat
reports this spring. He says dissatisfac-
tion is confined to the Specializing Of
dyspeptic extremists. According TO
Prof. Dodge the departments system in-
cludes more than 1000 boards of observ-
ers in as many counties, farmers of expe-
rienee and Judgment, representative men
of public spirit and promoters of intelli-
gent agriculture in their neighborhoods,
and not stipendiaries clamoring for Il pit
lance Of official pap.
Leave of absence for four months, ON
surgeon certificate Of disability, with per.
mission to leave the United States, has
been granted to Lieut.. Greeley.
The deficit in the postofice department
for the quarter ended March 81, is 81 &C.,
900. During the corresponding time last
year the deficit was 1885, 900. Thug the
deficit for the March quarter of the pres
ent year is $3.50, 900 in excess of the deficit
during the corresponding quarter of "a.
The financial officers of the department
had estimated that the deficiency at the
end Of the present fiscal year would be be-
tween $4,000, 900 and S., 900, 900, but
they are nov of the opinion hat the de
felt will aggregate about SC, ZOO. 600. The
re duction in the revenue and increase of
expenditures is attributed 10 business de-
preston, which is quickly felt in the post
office department
There is high authority for the state
ment that the president has not issued an
order to the heads of departments to the
effect that dismissals and appointments to
bill places not vacant must stop.
