 Some time ago I saw statement in the Sentinel from one of its most trustworthy and reliable informants (so it stated) that there, were siety.foe Liberal Repub- licans in the town of Torrington Now I would like to ask that we'll informed gen tleman why he did not produce them on Monday? We, with others, waited at the polls all day for view of those sixty-fiye Liberals, but cur search was yain-all that showed themselves were fifteen and we judge from the Republican majority lone Hundred and sir on first selectman) that even that fifteen retired without voting. Now if the Sentinel correspondent will recount his Republican allies and report a falling off of fifty from his former esti- mate, he will set himself right with the fact, otherwise his character as trust worthy informant will not stand high here after in the town of Torrington.

We Understand that the Apaehes have recently stolen from the Papa gos about one hundred horses and mules, having taken about seventy at one time from the Cababe country. These thefts have greatly incensed the Paps. and they are thirsting for revenge. General Howard is now working with all his might to or ganize the Apaches on the reserva- tions so as to prevent them from aid ing in this diabolical work, and also Ito get them to assist in punishing those off the reservations who commit these crimes. We therefore hope that all will be patient, hoping and trust ing that we have seen the worst, and that the day of our deliverence is at hand.

General Howard arrived at Apache

 a few days ago and is busy trying to

 regulate and systemize the reservation

 system. He is aware that the great difficulty in making the reservation lsystem 8 success, is to prevent Indians from going on raids and using the reservation as shield of safety after they have been on 8 stealing expedi- tions. We are informed that he is

 using every endeavor to correct this evil, and God grant he may be suc- lcessful. We also learn from a private letter that he will not in the least in- terfere with military operations, and is very desirous that all evil doers may be promptly and severely pun ished. If the Indians on reservations san in fact be made our faithful allies, sd that when Indians go forth to mur- df and rob they will promptly re- pbrt it, and when these bad ones come lack with their hands red with blood

 they will arrest and give them up for punishment, and, if necessary, go with Us and help find and punish bad h. dlans off the reservations; when they are willingto do these things, then our Apache war is near an end. With tHeir assistance every hostile Indian qan be hunted down within six months But, unfortunately at Grant, the senti- ment of the Indians has been so strong against giving information about hos tiie Indians, that Eskiminzin ad- hitted he had lost most of his in huence for doing it upon one occasion. That, General Howard will cause them to change their course of action IS the sincere wish of all.

Sometimes lightning produces complete
and instantaneous paralysis. The sup
preston of movement in the victim in
these circumstances is so rapid that those
who have witnessed it might have thought
they suffered from some illusion. Who
would not think he was dreaming if he
sa an unfortunate creature full of life
and activity, petrified and motionless as
a rock in less time than it required to
witness the phenomenon Jerome Car
den relates that eight reapers, who were
eating their dinner under an oak tree,
were all struck by the same flash of light
ming, the explosion of which was heard
far away. When some people passing
by approached to see what had happened
they found the reapers, to all appear
ance, continuing their repast one still
held his glass in his hand, another was
in the act of putting piece of bread into
is'mouth, a third had his hand in the
dish. Death had come upon them sud-
denly while in these positions when the
thunder-bolt fell Azrael had seized up
on them with so much violence that he
had impressed upon the entire surface of
their bodies the mournful tint of his
black wings. One might have taken
them for statutes sculptured out of black
marble. The catastrophe was so rapid
that the faces of the victims had not had
time to take any expression of pain
life was suppressed so instantaneously
that the muscles remained unmoved.
The eyes and the mouths were open as
in life; and had not the color of the
skin been so much changed the illusion
would have been complete. 1t has been
remarked also that the features of per-
sons struck by lightning, instead of be-
ing contracted, usually assume calm,
happy expression and the conclusion
has been drawn they enter without
shock or pain into the Infinite Being.
1t has even been assumed that death by
lightning is the prelude of glory and
happiness

ResoIUed, That we heartily endorse
the platform adopted by the National
Republican Convention at its late session
in Philadelphia, and we believe that the
principles there announced and to b.

interests have been advanced during any
four years of its history.


ResoIced, That with enthusiasm we
endorse the nominees of the Philadel-
phis Convention viz Ulysses S. Grant
and Henry Wilson,


We believe in their honesty, firmness
and success.


We rely upon the qualities that gave
Us Vicksburh, that drove Lee into Rich
mond, and that drove Lee out of Rich
mond, and that shone in magnanity at
Appomattox Court House. We believe,
too, in the consistent friend of the freed

Henry Wilson, whose head and heart
have remained undisturbed by long con-
tinuance in Office.

ABOUT WHIsKERs-The Hillsboro,
On. CO. Recorder, gives us this full bit of
information concerning whiskers


Did you know that in 1746 pair of
whiskers or such thing as moustache
was abominated in this section :? We
know prominent gentleman of this
town who says he never saw man with
a beard till 1850; that his father, as well
as the other old gentlemen of this town,
never wore a whisker, but shaved every
morning and taught their children that
whiskers were an abomination and a
SIM" He says that at Chapel Hill in
1916 young gentleman from Raleigh
(and now prominent citizen of that
city) made weak attempt to cultivate
moustache, and it raised such com
motion in college that the Faculty took
hold of it and sent the Rev. DIR. Deems
now of New York, and then one of the
Board, to the young man to reason with
him, and get him to shave his upper lip.
The doctor appealed to the young man,
for the sake of his sainted father "to
cut it off," and if not for his sake, for
Gods sake, :" to cut it off," And the
hairs disappeared. Only sports and cir
Gus riders and such wore whiskers in
those days. Our informant now wears
a heavy beard, and is not a little proud
of his moustache. How times do change.


HAPPINESS ESSENTIAL To BEAUTY
DO not think you can make a girl lovely
if you do not make her happy. There
is not one restraint you put ON a good
girls nature-there is not one shock Won
give to her instincts of affection or effort
which viii not be indelibly written on
her features with hardness which is all
the more painful because it takes away
the brightness from the eyes of innocence,
and the charm from the brow of virtue.
The perfect loveliness of woman's coun-
tenance can only consist in the memory
of happy and useful years-full of sweet
records and from the joining of this with
that yet more majestic ehildishness,
which is full of change and promise,
opening always-modest at once, and
bright with hope of better things to be
won, and to be bestowed. There is no
old age where is still that promise-it is
eternal youth.

Pending any Official statement from the Eng
lish government of its attitude with regard to
the Geneva Court of Arbitration, it will be well
to consider the exact position maintained by the
United States in the prosecution of her claims for
damages. Upon the ground that Great Britain
failed to perform its duties rs neutral in respect
to the rebel cruisers, during the late rebellion,
the United States demands that the Geneva Tri-
bunal shall award her damages. These damages
are direct and indirect. The direct damages grow
out of the actual direct losses in vessels and car


insurgent vessels, and the heavy national expen-
ditures caused by the pursuit in addition to
which the government puts in q claim for inter-
est, from an average day to be determined to the
day when the award is payable by the terms of
the treaty, namely: year after the date of the
award, the United States suggesting the LIST day
of July, 1862, as the most equitable day. The de-
tails of the direct losses to vessels and cargoes

these cities. Plymouth Church and its crowd, recall somehow gathering at Brigham's tabernacle in Salt Lake. Either place Is noted in a religious way. Beecher Is a tine-looking culti- vated genius of 8 man; Brigham, a rough and ruling intellect, and ad- mired of the ladies. The tabernacle is characteristic of the Mormon idea; Plymouth Church is plain outside, but striking in it's tasteful simplicity within. But I could no more think of comparing the broadly humane teachings of Beecher and his inviting place of worship, to Brigham Young and his place, than I could think of placing the all saving Redeemer alongside of the walled-in Heather Chinee. Beecher is perfectly at home with himself and audience; half the time walks about with hands behind his back, and conversing rather than declaiming; voice clear as bell, and only occasionally loud climax of ut terance accompanied with suitable gesture. His interpretation of the text has a flavor decidedly fresh, and his illustrations quaint and appro- priate. No person of memory or thought can hear him without remem- bering something he said the rest of the week. There are few ministers of which this can be said and hence the churches are inclined to go begging, and the people prefer the broad way to death. Like in politics, the people are ahead of the leaders.

 Of the other amusements here abouts, there is little to be said. Ed win and Junius Brutus Booth are try ing hard to represent Shakespeare so that 1t may seem more interesting to one than when quietly reading 1t alone. It IS possible they may, with the aids of their model of theater succeed with an admiring few, or per- haps the more curious of the crowd. It Is evident, however, through the wear and tear of our wretched every day American life, that the masses want to be merely amused and ren- dered self-forgetful, no matter how. And New York managers study the public wants to the last degree. It Is really dear old pandemonium of & city, this, and The Herald is its prophet. I was shown on the books of the concern, that the edition of last Sunday was one hundred and fourteen thousand That settles the question of largest daily circulation in the Union. It talks for Grant now. Next week it may be against him.

It is barely probable that the city of Washington and its office-holding society live as happily, honestly, and worship God as much as the rest of the world.

 There is little if anything now in the way of facts, toreport to Arizona, so far as l can discover. have seen Governor Mccormick at work in the House of Representatives, and at his own house on Fourteenth street, No. 1,015. l don't see but what he gets round and looks about as we'll as the best of the Congressmen, and am sat- isfied he is better acquainted with the by-paths and direct roads to effective work here, than all the other Terri torial Representative combined. They have formed a sort of Syndicate, of which he Is Chairman, and of course it must be some advantage over the old every one- for himself arrange ment. The irreconcilable calamity to the Governors eyes, has made him look some older, but he is more feshy than when I saw him last. His right eye pains him considerably yet, but he seems to be in quite good spirits :; is at least as active as any man could be. Is out and all over town and through the different Departments as rapidly as if he had been born and bred to it. The curious prominence of Arizona of late, has advertised the Governor to the heads of the Govern ment, and they have all needed conf dence in him. The best indication of this fact is, that all those chaps from Colyer down who have bucked against his influence here, have broken their own heads. Of course, Territorial Congressmen can't vote the United States Treasury into the pockets of their constituents, and give every raw hide corral Post Office, but there is much good they can do, if properly qualified for 1t; to be an effective Delegate here, Is more costly, trouble some and laborious than to be regu- lar M. c. The wild and changing character of the frontier would sug- gest this fact to most any one who will give 1t a thought.

 I met Dr. Lord and wife at Gov ernor McCormick's, and altogether my visit here has not been as lonesome as was feared. There are other Ari- zonans in town and expected soon, but I will not see them-intending to leave this evening for Ohio. There is a terrific snow storm on hand now, and it will be more agreeable to travel about in the cars. One thing good on the weather in Washington-the Gov ernment tells you all about 1t before hand. This weather record or " Prob ability" Bureau is great success. I have not called on the President, as l think he has been damaged by his friends already somewhat. But we'll see what we'll see. I heard Sumner and Schurz grind out their grist, and all is quiet again on the Potomac, so far as that sort of wind goes. The Japs are frozen up or showed in again-not at Salt Lake, but here.

There were many of the incidents Of
yesterday which should be recorded and
preserved. We regret our inability to do
that justice to the convention which It so
eminently deserves. It's dignity and the
high tone Of discussion which prevailed
were worthy of especial remark. The able
speeches of Messrs. Livingston and Hogan,
OF the minority, fully deserved the repeated
applause which they received. The plain,
practical, powerful reply Of Chancellor
Key carried the convention with an un-
animity which was as unexpected as it was
overwhelming.

Ehe Democratic Convention yesterday
was a magnificent success. Early in the
day before yesterday the delegates began to
pour in, and they came and still continued
to come on each succeeding train until the
hour Of convening the Convention arrived.
1t is impossible for us, sfter the late hour
of adjournment last night, to say anything
more Of the personeI of the Convention
than: We have never seen one more re-
spectacle in appearance and more decorous
in conduct. We have never seen but one more
numerously attended. There were present,
age and experience hand in hand with youth
and energy. The one seeming to lean on
the other, and both satisfied that each would
be improved by the association. There
were some clouds in the morning. There
were fears Of discord in a mere matter of
policy, but all questions were happily re-
ferred to committee of the highest order
of talent, selected on the spur of the mo-
ment. Free discussion was permitted in
the committee room and after the report Of
the committee, the free-est discussion
was permitted in general convention. Not
only that, but a separate vote was called
and taken on each resolution by the COM
mittee. The result was an overwhelming
approval Of each proposition in detail. We
may add that the acquiescence in the result
by the minority was as graceful as the tri-
umph of the majority was decided. The
resolutions speak more potently for them
selves than we can speak for them. What
ever difference of opinion there may have
been as to the language in which the senti-
ment of the Convention was expressed,
there can be no doubt that the Convention
was opposed to an independent Democrat
ic ticket, and in favor of the Democracy
giving their cordial support to the Cincin-
natl ticket.
