Post once.

fierce democratic war has been raging
for some time over the Charlotte, Eaton Co.
post office.
| II. +. Pennington, the democratic candi-
date for congress-, who was elected to stay al
home, entered one Barrett for the position
and urged as an argument in behalf of his
favorite, that he lost leg in the service OF
his country.
Ex-Mayor Robinson, supported by the affi-
davit of the surgeon who amputated the
limb, says that the claim is false, and that
Barretts injury was caused by fall several
years after his return from the service. A
very bitter, and from republican standpoint,
very pretty democratic quarrel is the out
come. President Cleveland had appointed
Barrett, but may withhold his commission,
on account of the misrepresentation made.
Col. Geo. p. Sanford democratic politi-
clan and wire puller of considerable note has
secured the postmastership at Lansing, and
the curses of his opponents are not only
loud, but deep.
Even in our own county there is much dis
sension and kicking in the ranks of the faith
full, although but two appointments have yet
been made, and there will be still more before
the democratic plums are all gathered.
By the way, where is the prominent Van
Buren, county member of the greenback halt
of the fusion party, who has had or is likely
TO receive share of that same delectable
| fruit?
Post Office bids fair to be the great stumb-
ling block in the way of the onward prog
ress of the democratic party, the rock they
viii split on, as il were.

aAnr YOU republican, I Thought you

"ARR YOU republican? I thought you
were greenbacker. The above remark, in
substance, was made 10 gentleman of our
village, one day last week, as he was draping
his place of business, in memory of the old
soldier, Gen. Grant. Strange, that any man
could be SO influenced by blind partisanship,
as to imagine that the American people We're
mourning The death of Grant, the republican.
No, the emblems of sorrow that were display
ed had no political significance whatever.
Il is Grant, the great American. the states
man, Grant, the hero and patriot, whose loss
the nation mourns, regardless of all partisan
ship. It seems incredible that any man
could be SO joined TO his political idols as
as not to share in the almost universal sor-
row over the death of Americas first citizen
and greatest soldier.

those who are willing 10 aid themselves by fair
payment for drainage based upon thebenehts re-
ceiyed The principle OF general taxation for local
drainage do not believe can be sustained under
our constitution, except IN like the present,
where the state has received the fund expressly APP
-propriated by the government through It's grant to
the state of these swamp lands FOR this purpose.
The state holds them, and the fund arising there
from, as trustee for the purpose OF executing the
trust and applying the to its ultimate object.
The needed legislation seemed TO be to tx the
fund and provide for the payment. The bin Of Mr.
Case amended the statute relative 20 the fund, and
provso Of the writer attached TO the general appro-
priation bill as nnally modified by the senate pro-
vided for, the payment. The law therefore, as 1t
now stands, provides for the payment to each
ty the money now due to it, and arising from the
swamp land fund, to be paid in equal sums from
and including the year 1856 and for I've successive
years thereafter which viii give to our county If this
legislation is held probably three thousand dollars
per year for the six years named, to be used for
drainage purposes.
/ will not detain your readers by showing the IN
genuty of a majority of the senate in their attempt
10 defeat the execution of the law which they had
already voted to amend, which had been signed by
the governor and had, in fact, become law. The
attempt, although baffied and thwarted, ingen-
ious and shrewd.
Our state has peculiar advantages in commerce
and navigation being almost surrounded with water
communication; but upon the other hand we have
within state ave million acres Of low and swamp
lands, which, until reclaimed and utilized, is dead
weight upon our hands. These lands, no doubt, are
almost all susceptible of drainage, and can be made
the best and most fertile lands in the state There
fore, II to the writer that any legislation
that in legitimate way tends TO reclaim these
waste places, contributes to the general advance
ment ard improvement OF our country, and tends
ultimately to diminish taxation.
1t was these and other considerations of kin
dred nature that induced your representative TO give
the subject under consideration some and at
tention and to his efforts and influence, though
feeble they may have been, to procure the passage
of the laws herein before referred to.

On Saturday, July 18th, Mr.. Webster,
General Grants publisher, went to Mount
MacGregor with the last proofs of the gen.
erals book. The general made one or two
corrections in the maps of the battles of
Shiloh and Champion Hills, and pronounced
the work complete, remarking to Mr.. Webster
that it seemed as though his life had been
prolonged expressly that he might finish
this work and thus provide for his wife. All
the net proceeds of the book so to Mrs.
Grant, the contract with the publishers
being in her name.

rAE NATION MouRNs

The old hero is dead. Americas greatest
citizen has passed from time into eternity
The greatest soldier of modern times, Grant,
the invincible, whom no mortal hand could
overthrow, nor mortal foe could conGcer,
has laid off his earthly armor and surrendered
to Death, the universal conquerer. While
the event was not unexpected, the grief OF
the nation is none the less poignant, the loss
is lust as great. The name of U. s. Grant
is zone Of the few immortal names that were
no. born TO die" but will live in history, and
in the grateful hearts of the citizens of the
country lie saved from destruction, growing
brighter and brighter as the years roll away.
The war of the rebellion and subsequent
events connected Herewith, developed trio
of llustrious men, Lincoln, Garfield and
Grant, the three pre-eminent Americans OF
the nineteenth century. Sacred as is the
memory Of the two martyred presidents,
enshrined as they are in the hearts of the
people, the name of Grant is held and will
be cherished with an equal degree of rever-
who received such universal honor from the
entire civilized world as did General Grant,
and no man ever more richly earned the
esteem in which he was held. As soldier
he stood absolutely without q peer, as a
statesman he occupied the foremost rank,
and as a true American citizen he was unex-
ceIed.
His eminent skill and ability and wonder
full success as commander, together with
his utter lack Of all military "fuss and feath-
ers made him the idol of the army, and
won the hearts of the people of the North,
while his magnanirnity and generosity toward
the conquered soldiery OF the confedeacy
endoarea him TO the people Of the South.
Aside from the unmerited political SANDER
and vi!.acation 70 which, to our shame be it
said. al public men who are nominated TO
high position in our country are subjected,
no American citizen ever stood before his
countrymen with a cleaner or brighter record
than Ulysses S. Grant.
IN the unfortunate business connections
and transactions of his later years, he has
had the full sympathy of the entire country,
and no stain or shadow of stain of any dis
honor rests upon his reputation by reason
thereof; but through misfortune and adver-
sity, as in his days of prosperity, he has
always been the same, quiet. unobtrusiye,
upright, honorable man.
During the past nine months he has been
gradually dying, but with the same grim
heroism that has characterized his whole
life, he calmly watched the steady, insidious
approach of the King of Terrors, retaining
throughout, the full vigor of his mental fac
ulties, although his body was racked with
pain and physical manhood had given way
to weakness, debility and prostration.
While he was not without his faults, his
virtues so overshadowed them, that they APP
peared trivial even in his lifetime, and now
that he is gone the way of all the earth, they
will soon be forgotten, and only his qualities
of noble manhood be cherished and remem-
bered. or him il might well be said, as of
George Washington, " First in war. frs. in
peace, and first in the hearts of his country

THE BRILLlANCT OF MINNEAPOLIS SOCIETY
DTNMED BY LENTEN GLOOM.
The effects of Lent were plainly perceptible
in social matters in Minneapolis last week.
The number of parties, balls and dances was
largely reduced and the scale of these was
subdued to conform to the sad season Pri-
waite gatherings and euchre parties win not
yield to the pressure of even Lent, but public
balls are becoming few and far between.
Their number is naturally on the decrease, as
winter draws away, and by the time Lent
nears its end the seas on will have practically
ended. The week just ended shows nothing
of marked importance, save the legislative
receptions detailed account of which appears
elsewhere.
