Kditoriul Parjrap.
At the present season one of the best
exercises for the memory is to remeni
ler the poor.
As a suggestion would it not be well
to introduce a full stop now and then
among the youug men of the period?
That Livingstone should be a rolling
stone is natural, for motion is a sequence
of life, but for correspondents to persist
in putting him under a tombstone to-day,
merely for the pleasure of digging him
up to-morrow, is becoming monotonous.
Lately two . young men who stole a
horse had the audacity to plead in de
fense, that the aftair was only a "lark."
Unfortunately for them, however, the
judge held that it was 'a horse and the
supposed "lark" was developed into two
jail birds.
A i.re a iv applicants, for pay at the
office of the new comptroller in New
York are coolly informed by" subordinate
officials that they will be much more apt
to receive their claims if they will only
find some friend, with influence, to go and fratricidal struggles while pesti
to the comptroller and represent their lence and famine have visited other less
eases. All of which savors strongly of favored countries we can t look back
Tammany ,and tends to convince one j
that even reformers are human.
Xew Orleans is excited over frauds in
the niiiiiicioal government. An increase
of $0,000,000 in the city debt lias roused
the people of that place into a series of
resolutions and speeches which are
highly commendable for the exalted tone
of virtuous indignation, which runs
through every line and every sentence.
The only fear is lest this new found ener
gy may expend itself in idle vaporing.
Still, with the example of New York lie-
fore them, they may persevere until some
satisfactory result is reached.
A correspondent telegraphing from
Washington in regard to the recent ill
ne.?s of Jesse It. Grant, the father of the
President, says :
"It is mobable that Mr. Grant, Sr
may. in consequence of the advice of his
Dhvsiciaus, relinquish the Postmaster-
rlup at Covington
, as his physicians de-
)ltic shock was pro-
application to busi-
cliii-e that the apop
iluced ly too clos
ness."
The grim faca-tionsness of that "too
close application to business," will best
be appreciated by the inhabitants of Cov
ington, or the keepers of the bridge, who
have daily greeted the innocent old man
as he passed across the river, not to, hut
from the office, and the clerks who have
managed the postal affairs,
As fuller details are received, the cow-
nrdace anil fiendishness of the Spanish
volunteers who assassinated the Cuban
students, tiecome more and more appar
ent The first rumor in regard to the
obscenity of the young men aud their al
leged desecration of the grave of Caste
lion, the Key West Martyr, appears to
have been almost without foundation
The truth seems to have licen that the
government was cowed by the H-rtinaci-
ty with which the volunteers clamored
for revenge, and yielded to their de-
mantis through fear of a general mass-
. ere. Taken altogether, the aflair presents
the spectacle of one of the most revolting
tragedies that
modern times have wit-
uc'scd.
Poor Connelly is still languishing in
I.udlow Street Jail. His condition is
described as pitiable " in the' extreme.
The severity of his treatment is such as
to excite the commiseration of even those
who were instrumental in bringing him
to justice. All that "he was allowed for
dinner upon Christmas day was roast
turkey with oyster sauce,; broiled ven
ison, capons a la Fmnraise, fried orto
lans, all the vegetables in season and
alx.ut twenty varieties of pastry while
for drink he was restricted to Widow
Cliquot Champaign and French brandy.
Such refinement of cruelty towards one
whose only crime was the. theft of a few
hundreds of thousands of dollars from
tin- plethoric pocket-books of the people,
cannot but rouse feelings of the deepest
indignation toward his persecutors. .
Ceo. Alfred Townsend has recently at-
tacked Elihu B. 'Washburne, notwith
standing the fact that when Mr. Wash
burne was in Washington he was Mr,
Tow nsend's special friend, and lost no
opportunity of doing him kindnesses and
honor. But this is only a peculiar char
acteristic of G. A. T. Several years
! ince, he was engaged iu a lecturing tour
throughout the western states and, upon
his return to the east, showed his appre
ciation of the hospitality of those among
whom he had been, by writing an arti
cle for the Galaxy, in which he attempt
ed to hold lip to ridicule the attentions
lie had received. As he was quite young
at the time, his entertainers were proba
bly quite as much bored as he could pos-
sihly have been. In this instance, how
evvr, retribution came with the opening
of the next lecture season. He found it
su difficult to make a single engagement,
th.it he finally left the field allot-which
was highly satisfactory to those among
whom he had hern the previous -ear.
The Milestones mt Time.
And now, when the light pall of win
t ir is fulling on all around, there come
tiie last ceremonies that belong to the dy
ing year, and the first that attach to the
new. The Christmas festivities have
mostly ended, and the people, refreshed
by the innocent gayeties and healthful
relaxations of the season, are girding
themselves for the new contest that
awaits them in the twelvemonth about
to commence. There is an air of bustle
and energy now observable in every one,
while the greeting that falls on the ear.
is changed from the wish for merry en
joy nent to one for a happy future.
In the order and time, when come
these two anniversaries Christmas and
New Year is a sentiment which may
well become a lesson. Just before the
last llickeriug flame dies out in the old
year's lamp just when Remorse and
Regret bring up with harrowing distinct
ness the falls and defeats, the mistakes
and failures of the past then dawns the
day, whese memory brings back that
mom when, nearly nineteen centuries
iigone, was born a Saviour to all the
world. And after a week, filled with
mingled rejoicings and reflections, comes
the ripening day of a new year a day
when is passed another milestone in the
journey of life a day when is turned n
new leaf in Ihe record of time. Pre-
ccded by a period, the first day of
which brings recollections that serye as
both warning and guide, the New Year
follows as if to afford a fitting opportu
nity when reflection may blossom into
action and good resolutions be followed
by practical realization.
But the New Year's day is not entire
ly a time of enjoyment. One cannot bury
the past beyond recollection, nor drown
in the Well of Oblivion the memories of
friends and comrades who have fallen by
the wayside some in the pride and prime
of early life some in the fullness of a
ripe old age. Nor would it be well if
such obliterations were possible. . The
teachings of the j asr, and the lessons of
those lives which have melted into the !
Oceaifjf Eternity, are precious legacies,
that serve as beacons by which to slum
the dangers of the future, and as soften
ed bands by which are joined the world
of .realities with the world of shadows.
And the inscription that each one places
over the grave of these memories, with
every recurring year is full of a meaning
which is unintelligable to all but those
whose hand guides the gravers tool.
As a Nation, the year now passed has
1 tee n a prosperous one. At peace with
ail tue world, our growth has been a
regular and healthy advancement. With
the steady reduction of our national debt
has come a strong faith in the resources I
of the country and a firm belief in its I

it. The people have seen solved a difli-

the miseries of a foreign war. Slowly
but surely the complicated problem of
construction is finding its own solu
tion and evolving order from a political j
chaos. And although 1871 has brought
more than usual suffering, and loss of
lifeand proiiertv, from fireand storm, it
has shown a fnller richness In the quali-
ties of generosity mid charity among all
classes. Aud thus while neighboning
lands have been rent and torn by war
with grateful hearts, and turn to the fa
ture with strengthened hopes, confident
in the care and guidance of One whose
sheletr protection has so signally been
vouchsafed us.
Nor have we been less favored as a
community than as a people. Within
the twelvemonth we have seen the in-
eeption and partial completion of an en-
terprise that will bring additional pros-
jierity to all out commercial interests.
Within the same time general good health
and financial prosjierity have prevailed
Business of many kinds has seemed to
receive an additional impetus and a new
energy lias sprung into being among all
professions and trades. With but one
exception the losses by fire have' been
slight and even then the resulthas proven
a benefit to the place, as such. No great
public calamity has In-fallen our town or
our citizens and the New Year finds all,
ready to enter upon the duties of the
future with strength and hope and faith,

treasures of completed toil and a per
fected pilgrimage alike have passed
away. But while we remember this,
there comes aconsolation.from the mem
ories brought forth by the present sea-
son,of Him who conquered Death and to
whose presence have
'one those Whom
we loved so well
And thus, with steps that seem but
slow to youth though all too swift for
those who are Hearing the Dark River,
the old year is giving way and the New
Year is coming on. As with our last
issue we sent out our first greeting for
"A Merry Christmas" so now, with sin
cerity and friendship, we tender our
lnost COrjial wishes that the coming an-
niversary will commence what will in
deed lie for all "A Happy New Year."
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
At Home
on io.
Cleveland has been made happy, for
the Grand Duke Alexis has visited that
city and received all the surrounding
beauties, including tne iron works at
iSewbnrg. tin Tuesday evening, in ac
cordance with previous arrangements,
the Grand Duke and suite arrived. So
much has been written of the Grand Duke
since his arrival in this country, that few
indeed of our readers do not know who
and what he is. It need only be said in
this connection that he is the third living
son of the Czar, Alexander 11, or Knssia;
that he was liorn January 14, 1850 and,
is therefore nearly twenty-two years of
age; and that he ranks as a r irst Ijcii-
tenant in the Imperial Navy. He does
not visit the United States out of idle
curiosity, or to make a show of himself,
to be feted and entertained at public ex
pense. He evidently submits to what-
ever of this is done, simply because he
cannot help himself. He pays his bills
wherever lie goes, just like anybody else,
and accebts no private hospitality. He
comes as the representative of one of the
most powerful nations in the world, to
examine the customs, the enterprise anu
the industries that have made our nation
the wonder of all mankind, to gather
ideas which may be beneficial to himself
and his country. The Imperial party!
consists ot the following: His imperial
Highness, the Grand Duke Alexis; His
Excelleucv.Vice-Admiral Possiet of the
Russian Navy; His Excellency, W. T.
Maclun, Councillor ot state: vvaideinar
Bodisca, Consul General to the United
States; Count Olsoufieft", Count Sterling-
ofl' and Dr. Coudrin, with six servants.
Mr. Thompson accompanies the party as
master of transportation. Ex-Minister
i t ; . n- i .en., i...
I Catueazy, Lieutienant Tudeer, of the Im -
perial Navy, and Mr. Skirkoff, Secretary
of Legation, are no longer with the party.
The party left Butlalo at twelve o'clock
on Tuesday and made the trip to Cleve
land in six hours, stopping only at Sil
ver Creek, Erie, Ashtabula and Paines-
ville, for water, and at Willoughby to
take on the reception committee from
Cleveland. The train consisted of the
drawing-room coaches "Adirondack"
and "Northern Crown," the sleeping
coaches "Adelphi" and "Manistee," the
commissary or hotel car "Gem, and one
baggage car. It is probably the most
sumntnous train of coaches that ever en
tered this city. The drawing-room
coaches are the acme of luxury on wheels,
being resplendent in rich carvings, with
gilt and silver mountings, and furnished
with solas, lounges and chairs, uphol
stered iu the most rich and costly man
ner, carpets, mirrors, and everything for
comfort, convenience and ornament, that
ingenuity could suggest or money pro
cure. The sleeping coaches are scarcely
less luxurious. The commissary car is a
first-H.'luss restaurant on wheels, and pro
vided with every facility for dining in a
style tnat would tempt the veriest epi
cure. On each side are cozy recesses,
fitted up with chairs and tables, and in
one end is a kitchen, with a cooking
range of the most approved pattern. A
large store of game, delicacies and sub
stantials of all kind is kepton hand. Ar
rived at Cleveland, the royal party was
met at the depot by the Grays and va
rious reception committees, aud by them
escorted to the Kennard, where the Duke
and all hands remained quietly all night.
Wednesday was passed in sight seeing,
and the evening closed witli a reception
at the residence of Amasa Stone, jr. On
Thursday the party left for Detroit. The
bill of the guests at the Kennard House
wa five hundred ami sixty dollars,
which is certainly a reasonable one. It
was cheerfully naid by the treasurer of
the party. Ot this one hundred and filty
dollars were paid for "wines and cigars."
It has transpired that Mr. Ashley's
discomfiture lu the mission undertaken
by him to control the election of United
States Senator, and his newspaper tie
nials, were the result ofhis failure to se
cure trie co-operation of the members
elect to the Legislature on whom he
thought he could depend. The Demo
crats were willing to help as far as they
could, either by electing General Cox,
Fred Ilassanreck or Ashley himself. It
is reported t hat, a caucus held in the office
ot Stanley Matthews, iu Cincinnati, an
effort was made to concentrate enough
strengi'h, by the aid of Ashley, with the
Democratic vote, to elect Mr. ilassanreck,
it a majority ol the Republicans from
Ilamiltoiv county would vole for Mmt
gentleman. The effort proved a failure.
At least it was found that none of the
gentlemen named by Mr. Ashley could
be relied on to aid in breaking up the
Republican caucus or the Senatorial nom-
ination. Neither promises nor threats 1
availed anything, and the little game was
abandoned for want of nlavers. It is
stated on reliable authority that leading
ueinocrats have made a proposition to
Republicans to take a case to the Su
preme Court iuvolviug the right of the
inmates of the Soldiers' Home at Dayton
to vote, and if the right is affirmed the
Senatorial seat from that district shall be
awarded to Sayler, Republican, without
contest, on wondition that, if the deci-
sion of the court is adverse, Kemp, Dem
ocrat, who hoius the certihcate ot elec
tion, shall retain the seat without Repub
lican interference. It is claimed that an
amicable suit could be got bofore the
Court and a decisiou had the first week
in January. The nroposition indicates
another new departure by . the Demo- 1
crats iu Ohio since the lasttime they were I
m a majority in the Senate. They re-
fused to pay any attention to a decision
of t he Sunreme Court, and insisted that
s,.i, derisions bad no force or authority
in either House of the legislature, be- j

The Skxate Resume for the week end-
inn Wednesday, December 27. Ou Thurs
day, the 12th, Mr. Sumner offered a joint
resolution amending the Constitution so
as to confine the President to one term
Jack of space prevents a full report of
the revolution, which sets forth the many
reasons which make such an amendment
desirable. "Article , Section 1. No
person who has once held the office of
President of the United States shall be
thereafter eligible to that office. "Sec.
2. This amendment shall not take effect
nutil after the 4th of March, 187a." Mr.
Sumner, in introducing the amendment,
spoke at some length on the Civil Service
movement, winch he considers the hrst
great stage in reform. After a length-
ed discussion, in which Messrs. Thnrman
aud Sherman took part, the amendment
was rejected by a majority ot one. At
(i::tO p. sr. a motion prevailed to adjourn,
and the Senate was dismissed until Jan
uary 8, leaving the subject unfinished.

the 21st, the House, Mr. Moore in the

days. Speeches were made by Mr. Har
ris ot Va., in tavoror the repeal oi the
law prohibiting the payment of the
claims of disloyal citizens for army sup
plies; by Mr. Sheldon, in advocacy ot a
bill for leveeing the Mississippi Kiver;
by Mr. Ritchie, on general politics, and

It will be remembered that, in accord- I
ance with the recommendations of the I
President's message, a bill was nitre I
duced Into Congress prohibiting the I
ownership, by American citizens, of I
slave property in other countries. " At-
tempts have since been made to secure
the amendment of this bill by a clause
inflicting severe penalties upon parties
so offending. It is now stated in circles
friendly to the Cuban cause, that the
Spanish Minister has practically succeed
ed in securing the preparation ot a Dill
ot the most sweeping character which,
will soon be introduced in the House by
the Foreign Affairs Committee. This
measure forever disqualifies from holding
the rights ot American citizenship, citi
zens ot the United States holding slave
pronerty in other countries, whether
they reside in foreign countries or' at
home. This bill will compefl many
American citizens and naturalized. Cu
bans to sell for a mere song their planta
tions in the Spanish West Indies, as they
must do so or lose their rights ot citizen
ship, which in Cuba means violence at
once at the hands of the brutal volun
teers, who would gladly rob the property
of Cubans who have been naturalized as
American citizens, and murder the own
ers were they to be deprived of Ameri
can protection,
The investigations ot tiie sub-commit
tee of Banking aud Currency concerning
the return to specie payments, are not so
tar encouraging lor the result aimed at.
The Secretary of the Treasury,, and the
Comptroller of the Currency, and those
who know most about the matter are
clearly of the opinion that resumption at
present would do more harm than good,
They think the best plan is to allow the
mouey market and demands of trade to
regulate the matter.
There is an impression especially in
the South that the retirement of Acker -
man from the Cabinet will have the ettect
to change the policy of the President to-
I ward the Ku Klux, and that hereafter
the law of Congress for the punishment
of members tof this organization will not
be enforced. There is no just ground
for this idea. The new Attorney Gener
at Williams will be even more careful in
the executing of laws than Mr. Acker
man was, and the President has no in-
tent ion of abandoning his policy with
regard to this.
Catacazy is now in Washington closing

War, while maintaining that the mili

be 1 u 11 y provided tor, declared that there
was no reason to fear aggression on the

The case of the steamer ITornet is con
sidered settled. The Spanish man-of-war
Zaragossa remained two days oft' Port-au-Prince
without communicating with
the shore. The commander then sent a
dispatch to the government asking if the
Spanish Consul could enjoy the same
guarantees as heretofore, and if such was
the case the Consul would land again.
The government replied in the allirma
tive, and the Consul landed and re-occupied
his post. It Is reported that the
commander of the Zaragossa asked the
government to remove some important
pieces of machinery from the Hornet,
thus rendering her tuiflt for soa, but the
government refused, and the Zarigossa
sailed for Santiago de Cuba, where she
has since arrived. It is stated that Span
ish vessels will remain at Port-au-Prinee
until the Hornet question is settled by
the Washington and Madrid govern
ments. President Sagct has arrived at

throughout Spain are coalescing with the

proclamation in which he sa"s the offer
of pardon to the insurgents cannot last
forever. He now proclaims that every
insurgent captured after the 15tli of

that he refrained uixui apprehentions of
encountering the return fire of the Uni

After the customary formal congratn-
tions. His Majesty proceeded to deal with
home questions and his readiness to
grant extreme concessions. He was
sorry to say that he had not brought in
ternal harmony to the State, as desired.
Ihe crown, while it contemplates the ex
istence of separate kingdoms, with con
stitutional satisfaction, claims that its
acts are in the interest of the whole em
pire, as well as of the individual states.
Great stress is laid on the enforcement of,
and oliedienee to the faws. The govern
ment will aecede to the wishes of Galicia,
iu so far as they are compatible with the
nterettsot the empire. Measures are
promised which will render the Reichs-
ath a completely representative body.
Hills to reform election abuses, to de-
velope the Landwehr system and to im
prove the pecuniary condition ot the
government officials and poorer clergy
will be submitted. The prompt settle
ment of the educational question is rec
ommended. Regret is expressed at the
fact that a portion of the empire remains
unrepresented in the Jteichsrath, where
done an understanding is liossible. I he
Deputies are exhorted to supply the

The recent dispatch from Bismarck to
liaron Von Armm excites the rrencn
Press to renewed bitterness ajrainst Ger
many. The tone of the journals gener
ally is well expressed by the following
extract from one of them, which says
"the silence of the vanquished is the
only fit reply to the insults of the victors
A river of blood has divided us. We
learn to suffer and to wait."
The German ambassador, waited on M
Thiers and informed him thatf the Ger
man Government would hold the Frencl
Government responsible for the outrages
inflicted by the French peasantry on the
German soldiers m the occupied districts,
M. Thiers, in reply, assured him that the
French Government was doing all in its
power to maintain its fulfillment of the
obligations imposed upon it by the Ger
man Government, but that it could not
justly be held responsible for the acts of
a tew ignorant "persons, and, in conclu
sion, the Government would do all in its
power to protect the German soldiers of
occupation.
The Committee of the Assembly has
rejected the proposition for a return to
Paris. The members of the Right Cen
tre in the National Assembly havina:
made overtures to the Legitimists for
coalition, the latter say that they will
usually coalesce, but will reserve their
independence. They disapprove of the
Orleanist Princes as leaders. Members
of the Monarchial par' have resolved to
introduce into the Assembly, a bill call
ing for sweeping financial reform. This
is looked upon as an attempt to oust the
Thiers Government, as the present Min
ister of Finance is looked upon with con
tidenee by the merchants and small trad
ers. In the event of a revolution, the
Monarchists hope to elect the ('omit de
Chamljord bv a roup a etat.
The proposed income tax was under
consideration. M mister ot Finance
Ponyer Quertier spoke in opposition to
the measure, which be denounced as ar
bitrary and inquisitorial. The speaker
cited Lord isrougliam aim l'residen
Grant in support of this remark. In
the course of some allusions to England
the Minister asserted that she was only
a tree trader where there was no compe
tition. Woloski's proposal for the impo
sition of a general income tax was finally
yotetl upon anu rejecteu oy a large ma
jority.
Advices from Paris state that affairs
that city are in a most deplorable condi
tion. Tourists, who had proposed to
Winter there, have left the city in conse
quence ol the tightness ol money. Sev
eral of the journals to-day contrast the
Christmas ot tins year with those pn
under the empire, and take unfavorable
comments on the Thiers Government. It
is believed by many people that the Gov
ernment will be unabla to raise any
further Indemnity.

A serious rupture Is considered im
pending between the English Govern
ment and the Government of I'ruguay
in consequence of the refusal by the lat
ter to compensate and indemnify British
merchants ami traders at Montevideo
and other cities for losses sustained by
the existing war Iu that country.
Communications of an ofllcial chara
cter have passed between the two gov
ernments on the subject, the result be
ing thi! reiterated refusal of the I'ru
giiayun Government, through its offi
cials at Montevideo, to recognize the
claims iu question or acknowledge any
liability in the matter. Many British
merchants have been totally ruined by
the war, while the business of others has
been damaged almost irreparably.
The mail steamer from the Caio of
Good Hope has arrived, and brings
accounts of the manner in which the an
nouncement of the annexation of Afri
can territory to the British dominions
was received by the inhabitants. The
intelligence that the treaty had been
finally concluded produced much ex
citement. Mr. Brand, President of the
Free States, had issued a formal protest,
against the transfer of the diamond fields
of Great Britain.
Discoveries of gold in considerable
quantities has been made in the Trans

received assurances of assistance from a host of
the most popular writers and poets of the coun
