Our selegraphic dispatches are still on
the fence, We hear Of 8 victory here painted
in glowing colors, and we see it is from
Paris. We look again and highly colored
telegram meets our gaze which shows that
the Prussans are victorious, that they have
gained 8 position and driven the imperial
armies for miles before them. We cannot
believe both sides. Like an animal OF the
Union's calibre, We are between two bun
dies of hay and don't know which to believe.
Even our sympatbies are mixed, We would,
as true Americans like the best side to win,

law but the vox populi, the people is king,

Napoleon opposing the invading hosts or
is it the people of France? If it be .
bloody game of chess between two despots,
we don't put our money down, and we doh I
care u damn which side wins. But if it is
democracy versus sovereignty, we are there
all the time. Can our German friends tell

divine right of God Almighty or are they
in sympathy with = democracy formed from
the petty kingdoms of the Fatherlsnd Can
the French tell us Are they fighting for
the dynasty of a Napoleon, q despot to rule
over them and take their sons to the plow
and their daughters to the mill or are they
lighting for glorious republic, unsssined
by the blood and crimes Of the period of
the committee of safety? William is king
by divine right. Napoleon is emperor by
popular choice. One is the monster which
we as republicans abhor, the other, like

PATRoNIzE ADVERTISING HousEs.
One who knows what he is talking
about, discoursos in this wise: When
We see business firm giving publicity
to their particular branch Of trade We
argue at once that such house il
alive to tho requirements Of the times.
1t implies not only dcep sagacity, but
likewise that sort Of liberality which
is sure to attract the attention of the
trade. Many establishments forego
the benefits Of advertising from a
spirit Of mere pcnuriousness. They
reason this way: "Should we incur
an outlay of fifty or hundred, or
five hundred dollars, possibly we may
mover get it back again--then 1t would
be thrown away" These are timid
or stiDgy men always, and property
belong to past generation. The true
man of business, appreciating the fair
advantage of being represented in
newspaper columns, looks upon adver.
tising as "bread cast upon the watcr''


and should he find no fruit Of his
expenditure, he rests at ouse, being
fully satisfied that it "will return
after many days"

GENERAL GRANT AFTER THE INDIAN TREATY
SwNDLERs.-A letter from Washington in the
HERALD of yesterday gave us the gratifying
intelligence that President Grant had stamped
out four Indian treaty swindlers. Although
twelve are said still to exist we cannot refuse
to admit that this is good comm encement
and somewhat full Of promise. General Grant
will receive the thanks of every true American
for what he. has done in this matter nor will
he lack encouragement to 60 on We now
begin to see what it is to have an honest, a
capable and vigorous man in the Presidential
chair. These Indian treaties have always
been fruitful sources Of trouble; and as in
many cases they have been made by, so they
have been sustained in, the interests of a set
of political cormorants. Some good fruit, it
must now be admitted, has resulted from the
appointment Of the Quaker commissioners.

the Executive Mansion, and with such beau

person as the wives and daughters Of
our Cabinet members, Senators and Repre-

legations, we do not see why our republican
court should not do little business in the
way Of setting fasions to our own people, and
thus saving immense duty on Partisan irnpor-
tations and doing our duty by our home manu-
factures. Probably the only reason why we
have not heretofore succeeded in this matter Is
that Washington is not New York

THE ANTI CONFEDERATION SENTIMENT in the
British Provinces has been heretofore pretty
well confined to discussion and generalities.
Now we see the New Brunswick government
is at deadlock, owing to an attempt to dis
miss Mr.. Botsford, the clerk Of the Legislative
Council, for annexation sentiments. The
Council have declined to let him be dis
missed, and claim that the New Brunswick
provincial government has no right of juris-
dicton over their officers. The Newfoundland
Assembly has agreed to resolution to the
effect that they see nothing but what inspires
apprehension in the proposed confederation
with Canada.
