dead A preacher named Bucholz, who
lived at IIasmark, in Hungary, had to GO
to the village of Eperies, about twenty-five
miles distant. and he took with him his
dog. He staid there several days, and
had to return home without his dog,
which, in the meantime, had litter Of
puppies. Bucholz had not been long at
home before, to his great surprise, his
dog appeared with puppy in her mouth,
which she carefully laid on the mat where
she commonly slept herself, and then she
rushed out of the house along the way
leading to Eperies; after some hours she
appeared again with second puppy in her
mouth, and in twenty-four hours she Went

Nothing could have been more diverting
than the manner in which the bride Of Sir
Charles Dixie arrayed herself for the great
event of her life; and as it ushers in
new style of marriage ceremony 1t Is 1T
ting that our lady readers should know the
details. 1t is told by lady, thus: Miss
Shell, the bride, called early one morning
on an intimate family friend of mine and
asked her to go shopping with her, to
which my friend consented. When their
shopping business was concluded, Miss
Shell asked her if she could spare little
further time to accompany her to church,
as she was going 10 be married that morn
ing. She said she would not keep her
long. as the service would be short, aud
she would not have to answer any ques-
tions. The bride, may tell you, was
dressed in waterproof cloak, and wore a
brown straw bat, and these articles OF
attire she kept on during the whole of the
ceremony. Immediately the service was
concluded she rushed into the vestry to
sign her name in the register, without
even waiting for her husband. AS soon
as this was done she seated herself in the
brorgham, bid my friend adieu, and told
her that she should be happy to see her
that day fortnight when they returned


from their marriage trip, as on that occa-
sion they intended to give some of their
friends Champagne luncheon. The citi-
zen and citizeness then drove from the
church to several Of the shops, and then to
his house in Sloane street, where the lady

The persons put in nomination for Aldermen
are, with few exceptions, Of the most undesir-
able class for civic rulers. The character of the
Board OF Aldermen Las sunk so low that respect
able citizens cannot be induced, except at q
great sacrifice, to become members. Last fall,
the people of the city, with commendable zeal,
forcibly elected number OF crcditable citizens;
these are in great danger of being overwhelmed
by different class who have been named as
candidates this year. Our advice to all voters is
to select in their respective wards the men who
are best deserving and best fitted for tic place,
and vote for no others.

Unless the citizens Of Chicago exercise the
closest personal scrutiny in voting for candi-
dates for. the Common Council, they will find
themselves cursed with more dangerous era Of
municipal misrule than ever before. The e1pe-
rieuce Of this city has been Of kind that is said
to teach the child to avoid the fire but it has
not been sufficient to induce such interest and
cooperation in the primary meetings as to
overcome the usual riff-raf who claim the
monopoly Of nominating the Aldermanic candi~
dates on both sides. There are twenty Alder
men to be elected from the twenty different
wards Of the city. There are more than fifty
candidates already in the field Ont Of this
large number there are few who
are suited by character, position, and trust
worthiness to represent the interests Of the
people in the Common Council. The rest are
positively disgraceful. If the Oldest inhabitant
and best citizen Of Chicago should scan the list
of candidates, he would be forced to acknowl-
edge that he could not pick out twenty whom he
could indorge.


The TRIBUNE does not propose to enter upon
a discussion Of the relative personal objections
to the men who have been nominated. It would
be difficult matter for q public journal, in SO
large city as Chicago, to do this fairly and i'm
partially. This is at once the province and the
duty Of the good citizens Of the various wards
inwhich they live. II they have failed to exercise
their privilege ut the primary meetings, there
is time enough to applya remedy at the polls.

engaging German organ and an English organ

be enforced For instance: The Staats-Zeitung
assures its German readers that the Greeley men
of the City Government are responsible for the
ATTEMPTED enforcement of the law for closing the
dates, if elected, will make no effort to put the
law into execution. On the other hand, the
Post assures its American readers that the
Grant men are entitled to the credit of enforcing
the Sunday Law, and will continue the effort to
render it q thing of beauty and o joy forever.

other Of these declarations OF principle, they are

There are general instructions, however, which
shou1d'be observed. First, there should be an
individual interest in the election Of Alderman in
each ward, entirely distinct and separate from
tie vote On the National issue or State election
It will scarcely be denied that the question Of
Universal Amnesty, or Of Ku-Klu1 laws, has no
more to do with the duties Of Councilman than
ithas with the choice Of q faithful bookkeeper or
tn governess Of achild. When thepeople have
separated their choice OF city guardians from
National issues, the next step is nm organization
Of the respectable residents Of each ward in
favor OF the best candidate. Il, az the case &C.
tually is to-day in several wards Of Chicago,
there is not q single candidate who should re-
ceive the support Of decent men, then there
should be q union OF the people upon an inde-
pandent candidate, chosen with especial refer
ence to his honesty and his ability to serve the
best interests OF the community. No citizen
should cast his vote for any candidate for the
City Council without having first satisfied him
self personally that the man he votes for will
use his power for the benefit Of property hold





of tho people. Those who will, not devote the
time and trouble to this prccaution will have no
right to complain If they are swindled in the
next tax-levy. -.


The danger that is apprehended from the
selection Of City Councilmen at the coming
election is in no way exaggerated. In one
ward, where there are three or four candidates
running, the least Objectionable of all OF them is
q professional gambler, who probably desires to
be elected chiefly to watch the interests Of the
blacklegs. Another candidate is among the list
Of Aldermen convicted Of the crime OF bribery,
and sent to jail therefor. In four wards Of the
city, the candidates placed in the field at the Re-
publican primary meetings are popular1y known
to be official thieves. In all the wards, except
seven, infinitely better men than any who are
mentioned could have been, and may yet be,
found who will serve as Aldermen, it the people
will take tie trouble to elect them.

q Ihe recent arbitrary arrests Of peaceful


citizens Of New York by the man Davenport.


who holds the Office of United States Commits


sioner, and is the Federal Chief Supervisor Of


Elections, is another instance OF this determine


tlon to control the elections. Acting under in


st1uctlons from his superiorB, he has carried out
tho Enforcement law, itself at variance with the
spirit OF republican institutions, and Of doubtful
consututlonallty, in such manner that any
citizen ls liable to arrest not only at the polls,


bat also In his own home, contrary
to the letter and spirit Of the 1aw,
winch does not warrant domicilary visits.
10 the Outrage and indignity of these arrests,
this Commissioner has added the refusa1 to Grant
speedy hearing, and the illegal declaration that
tile prisoners shall not be released on bail. For
such an outrageous and tyrannical abuse Of tho
rights OF personal liberty, this Commissioner
throws hlmself back upon the authority of the
PRESIDENT, and openly boasts that the latter sus-
talns him, and that, whatever disposition the
courts may make of his writs and decisions, he
can pro1ong these outrages until after the cleo
ton, and thus have clear field for manipulate
ing the registry, and the election, also. In case
the election is successful, he will look, and not
IN vain, to the Presidentfor immunity from pun
ishment for his offences. That this project to
d1stranchise voters in New York, and prevent a
free election, did not originate with Davenport,
and that he is only the tool, is now mads clear
by afidaVits which fasten it's authorship upon
the Secretary Of State of New York, who di-
Vu1ged his scheme to certain doubling Thomases
in the Republican party, and assured them that
he and Davenport would 'sd1 everything right
in New York" In pursuance Of this plan, Day.
enport agreed to ascertain the politics Of each
man who registered, to arrest and detain until
after election day every Greeley man who could
command any considerable number Of votes, and
to so tamper with the vote OF the people at
large as to divert it from Greeley to Grant. To
shield him from punishment would be the work
Of the Administration, as the profits OF his work
enure to their benefit !.


It would not be difficult to produce numerous
other proofs Of the determination Of the Admin
istration to continue itself in power by interfer-
ing with the election and preventing the oppo~
nonts OF Grant from voting. The two cases to
which we have alluded, however, show its AMI
mus with sufficient clearnoss. II there we're no
other issue in this canvass, this alone ought to
be sufficient to arouse the American people to
sense Of the danger which is threatening them,
and which will undermine Republican institu-
tions if it is not arerted. If the Administration
is allowed this time to trample upon personal
and State rights, it will be easier to do it the
next time. It is the first and most dangerous
step towards absolntism when the right Of the
people to express their will at the polls is pre-

Eighteenth Ward can get place in the Custom
House by supporting Mr. Farweu. The num-
Der of Inspectors Of Customs resident in the
Eighteenth Ward is truly wonderful, and the
growth OF the foreign commerce requiring Gus
tom House agents exceeds computation. There
do not seem to be any Inspectorships to be di-
vided among the German wards the Eigh-

Despite all this questionable but
long familiar system Of electioneering
at the public expense, Mr;; LeMoyne is making
active progress in the district. That he will
carry the Eighteenth Ward BY q handsome
majority is not questioned, and if the other
four wards do their duty, he will leave the city
with large majority.

POSITION OF OUR GOVERNMENT - THE INDIRECT

NEW YORK, April 20.

effect that the claim for indirect damages would
be pressed, and received from the President, and
from his colleagues, their unqualified assent to
what he hadsaid IN their own and the Presidents
behalf


1t is said that the Government insists upon
maintaining its original position for the sole pur-
pose Of securing the arbitration of the principle
involved. A decision disallowing the claims
would really be of more advantage to this Gov
ernment for future emergencies than any award
of damages. For the purpose of having this
principle arbitrated and settled for all time to
come, 80 that it might be precedent in future
complications there is no doubt but that this
Government would consent to waive any pay
ment of money damages that might be awarded
in case Of possible decision adverse to England
