Mrs. General Grant, according te Washington gossip, is writing her memelrs, and because her time is so wholly employed she was compelled to withdraw from social life until the manuscript is in the hands of the printer. Her intellectual bumps were cultivated by J. Fenten Leng, of St. Louis County, Missouri, at the district school on Gravois, In that county. Unless her memoirs, written by her self, are licked into shape by another mind than the reputed authsr, as was her husbands, they will ret bear the literary impress necessary to fascinate the reader.

Robert Watkins was arrested at Pine Bluff, Ark, on the 22d ut, charged with presenting a pistol at the heads of judges of election, at Plum merville, and stealing the ballot-bex. It is believed that this is the begin ming of unravsling the mystery of the assassination of John M. Clayton. It is generally believed that the men concerned in the ballot-box theft were connected with the murder of Clayton. Watkins was placed in the penitsn- tiary at Little Rock fer safe keeping He denies the charge, although he frequently boasted of the part he took in tho ballet-box robbery.

The Police Bureau of Parls has made a discovery whereby the photo graph of fugitive criminal can be transmitted over the electric wire sim ultaneeusly with the warrant. The strip of paper which usually receives tbe telegraphic signs or letters is cut wider and receives the telegraphic portrait, making it about the size of a silver dollar. It appears enly in out line, but with all requisite clearness and accuracy to materially aid in the capture of criminals.

The fact that Germany has sent four additional iron clads tS Samoa, does not look like Bismarck was pacifcally inclined; or is It that this array of war vessels is intended te influence the tripartite conference appointed to meet Tn Berlin ia reference to the Navigator Islands, in faver of Ger many? If the United States further shows the white feather, in this mat ter, she might as well submit, without the formslity of resistance, to Bis marck's dictation. Heretofore the United States was liberal in her talk of last man and last ditch, but her martial spirit in our racket with Ger many has not been such as to lead to the belief that we will not swallow whatever affrcnt the German Empire may choose to offer us.
 But It may be otherwise under the incoming admlnlStratlen, With James G. Blaine at the head of State, whe is not likely to allow the United States to be slapped upon both cheeks with out show of resistance. Pluck, tenn psred with discretion, is the great en- zine of moral power, and was never more successfully shown than in the case, in Turkish pert, whete Lieutenant Ingram commanding ar American frigate, wedged his vesse between tive Austrian war ships anc demanded, within ten minutes, tht release of Martin Kostza, naturalizet citizen of the Unltsd States, whom Austria claimed as owing military service to that government.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

We have been favored by c. R. Drake, president of the Council, with copies of number of bills now pend ing before the Territorial legislature, among which IS one regulating license on wines. distilled or malt liquors. It enacts that vendors of the same whs sell in quantities of enc quart and up- wards shall pay tax of thirty dollars per quarter, and those who shall sell or dispose of the same Tn less quaHti- ties than one quart shall pay Incense of enc hundred and fifty dollars per quarter, or six hundred dollars per annum.
 The most apparent fault Tn the bill, in eur spinien, and which should ut terly condemn it, is the discrepancy between the license imposed upon dealers Tn quantities of enc quart and upwards and that exacted of retailers. Obviously, the operation of the law would be to close a majority of the saloons and transfer the traffic to ''quart houses" which would in no sense be an improvement. If license law has been determined upon, then make the license on retailers and wholesalers more uniform, or else raise the minimum quantity eff hquor which wholesalers are allowed te sell, say, to one gallon.
 The liquor traffic has, for several years past, in many of the Ea stern States, been a fruitful subject of lsgis- latisn-either in the form of high license, local option, or prohibition. Each method has its advocates, and all are eppssed by considerable element of the population. However, the man ufacturers and dealers, Tn some States, show by their united support of high license, notably in Pennsylvania, that they recognize the growing sentiment in favor of restriction of some sort.
 Statutory laws on this subject have proven ineffective in majority of cases, because they lacked the support of the people, and this fact sheuld be seriously considered by cur legislature before they enact any stringent meas ure. So widely has this defect in legls- lativs enactments become recognized, that the question is new nearly always submitted to the vote of the people, in the form of constitutional amend msnt. By this means the exact sen timent in regard to the liquor ques- ton IS obtained, and if found to be in favor of prohibiting its sale, then there IS more likelihood of the law being enforced. In four States the question of thus amending the organ ie State law is soon to be submitted to popular vote, namely, in PeHnsylva mia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Nebraska.
 The wide diversity of opinion that exists on this subject, after many years of experimenting with various methods, goes to show that its selu- ten IS beset with the greatest difficult ties, and, therefore, our legislature should act with the utmost caution in the consideration of any bill dealing with the license question.
