II j. only a few months ago that the
newspapers Of the country teemed with
bloodth rsty editorials and excited tel
sgrams regarding the election "a West
Virginia. Charge. Of fraud were made
b both sides. The most violent talk
Vas induiged in concerning alleged
outrage and Threats Of civil war and
fi00dshed we're fully banded about. A
1ecount IS now nearly completed, and
70 far there has not been \ single vii
tnl or material error t0uad on either
side. Only two counties remain 10 BE-
counted. and Mr. Grief majority has
not been materially varied. This Isl not
only gratifying 10 honest men of all
parties. but contains lesson which 10
ma not BE- out of place 70 allude 10
here 81 Grand Rapids, and that IS the
satisfaction which Is derived from a
careful recount by the proper legal
authorizes IN eases OF doubtful and
disputed elections. 1t is probable that
the opponents of Gen. COT viii not DC
az ali pleased 70 learn that he was
really elected, but whether the result
pleases them or not they now know De
yond question that such IS the case.
Had no recount been made, a large
portion Of the people of West Virginia
would have gone down % their graves
firmly believing that they had been de-
frauded OF their rights and that Gen.
Cot was a political thief. What re-
count has done ~ this case 10 VIII do IN
al cases, namely, establish the rigat.
More than that no one can ask for, and
Jess than that no ore ought 90 be com
PEELED 70 put up with. The law ought
10 provide for a recount when there Is
any occasion for one. and the rules
ought 70 be so definitely prescribed that
no one can have Discretionary power TO
prevent 10. These are matters that the
Republicans Of Grand Rapids should
bear In mind and or the first opportu-
nifty they should BRING their influence
% bear on the Legislature TO secure a
Just law.

Joseph Jefferson has been engaged
for number of years upon his autobio-
graphy, which will soon begin to appear

sympathetic to the people of this country
than that of any actor we bave had.

Dor, was SCI ,211.44 Not very expensive
when compared with the ext ense incurred
by some other states. Number of con-
victs, 853. The cost of caring for the
insane, ScheDls for deaf and blind, indus
trial school for boys, state p' i,o,,, and state

Something Of a remarkable nature
occurred last week on the farm of Peter
McGeocb, in the town of AztaIan. former
lv owned by the Harvey brothers. of this
place. Henry Able, who has charge of
the farm, tells us that water has been
standing in hollow in the rear of the
house, and the water has disappeared and
large hole has appeared in the earth.
The hole is sone twenty feet long, ten or
twelve feet wide, and six feet deep. He
also states that it looks as though more of
the earth will settle in the same manner.
He does not know the cause of the settling.
and the land has been plowed and cult
waited for the past twenty years. But the
only theory we are able to give is that
history records the site upon which the
village of Aztalan now stands as one of
the most ancient and populous Indian or
Aztec villages i'll the Northwest, and that
they might have had cave built to hide
provisions or such Ike in hundreds of
years ago. Owing to so many ancient
relics haviog been found around there,
we think that if this matter would be
locked into by re!ic-seekers they would be
rewarded for their time end labor. We
hope to give more particulars about this
in the near future.-Lake Nils Leader.
