2fy Dear t'ritnd—I received, on
ihi! Gilt iust., youru of (be 27th tilt.,
relative lo lliu post oflioe at Alta
Viaia, and tl»a»k you lor your
prompt attention to that matter ot
bustiH'ttp, aa I sincerely do lor the
hundred* ot acta ot civility and kind
ness which I have roceitred at your
luinds ever since I was introduced to
you, on the lair urounds at Fairfield,
in the Fall, and but a few week* be
fore you look your scat in tho Sen
ate and became my colic,igue, when
when you honored me by the pre
sentation ot your crodenliulfl as Seu
ator elect. From the moment ot our
first acquaintance none other than
tho kiudest relations have subsisted
between us, and I have so inany evi
dences and proots, potUtve, ot your
regard tor me as lo justify me in ad
dressing you aa my "triend," whilst I
know that you entertain equally
strong assurances of like tceling on
my part toward yourself.
Your predictions as to the defeat
of Mr. Greeley and the re-election of
Gen. Grant have iudeed, been fully
realized, and if ever I have felt a re
morse ot conscience for tailing to do
my duty and to obey the dictates ot
iny heart and my head, too, it was
when I cast that vote for Horace
Greeley and in opposition to Gen.
Gmnt. But, dear old colleague, I
had worked in the traces so long
and had been so often and so signally
honored by tho Democratic party as
lo have found it wholly impractablo
to resist the iraportuuiiies of the
many near and dear personal and po
litical Iricnds who orally and by let
ter implored me not lo desert the
party tiea, ns'I on almost every suit
able occasion s itd 1 would do, after
the action ot the Baltimore Conven
tion.
I rqjoiucd when tho news reached
here in the nomination ot Mr. Gree
ley, at Cincinnati, because I believed
that he would more certainly and
thoroughly divide the Republican
pa ly than would the nomination of
any other Republican, not excepting
Justice Davis ot tho Supreme Court,
and, therefore, that the nomination
of any respectable old-line Demaorat
of tried principles, at Baltimore,
wonld result iu the complete triumph
6t the party to which 1 had all tfty

must confess I was partirilly pre-
for the result from the moment
saw how our State and Cutmtv
Democratic Y) Conventions were com
posed and managed, ar.d how ouch
sterling, long tried, faithful and wise
Democrats as cx-Governor Stephen
Hempstead, Hon. Alexander An
demon, IIou. T. S Wilson, Hon. T.
M. Monroe, John I)«'«ry, Prof. J. J.
E. Norman Gen. W. W. Sffiiih,Gen.
Warner Lewis, and rtiany others ot
lis ruled out of our County Cortveu
lion, and denied a hearing even here,
and at Des Moines, because we were
lor adheering strjfeily to Democratic
tneasureB afid meh, and because, tor
sodl?i, we were opposed to the en
dorsement of Horace Greeley, or any
other so call'd Liberal Republican.
^Iiose liberality was the consequence
ot his failure to get office for himself
or his friends at the hands of General
Grant, as lliough thd President had
an officH or a fat contrail lor «very
man who had voted for him ©r
fought under him at the South. I
had had a great deal ot patronage lo
dispense in my time, as delega1-.
Surveyor General and Senator, and
knew very well how utterly tmpotti
ble It was to give pap to every man
who had voted lor ine, and there
fore I know how to make allowance
tor President Grant, and tor you and
others who have official positions
and patronage to dispense.
But I and my associates who were
adheering strictly to ihe long estab
lished usages ot our party, an lor
the out and out nominations ot long
and well tried Democrats ot the Jet
terson, Jackson, Polk, Pierce and
Buchanan Schools, were not only ig
nored, by the men who now rule us
with Ifon rods, some ot whom came
here but 6 lew years since from York
Slate, Canada, with tho reputa
tion of Know Nothing, and Freesoil
ism clinging 16 their skirts, but we
were almoht kicked out ot pur coun
ty and State coyention and dcuied
the liberty of ihe presses which our
money patronage and energies had
built up, and into the possession and
control ot which they worked them
selves by stealth and against the ex
pressed wishes, in on* instance, of
the patrons and builders up ot ihe
paper, iu a large meeting of the
Democrats in the oflioe itself.
It such tyranny and anti Demo
cratic usages were ptacliced in this
city And county alone ihey might
perhaps be ti'diiie with in silence, !ut
when the evil affecis the party
throughout the .State and tlie Uuiou,
I, at least for one, van stand it no
longer, and will march out, and into
the ranks ot our oppontnts, who are
true to themselves at least it not to
tbe whole couutry, which has spoken
iu thunder tones, not lo be inisundvr
stood, it there be truth in the
proverb, "t?ojr populi rox Dt%" But
he Message ot the President since
his triumphant re-election by ihe
greatest majority ever given, I be
lieve, to r.tiy predecessor of his,
thoict that he is tor retrenchment anil
reform, for execut.ng tho Civil Ser
vice act, for tho Washburn propoM
tion to piacw the telegraph under ihe
control ot the Post Master General,
which is quite a.* reasonable as that
the mails should be under the direc
tion ot the general government, in
stead as they wero originally under
the management and direction of
soulless corporations or individuals.
General Grant and hia party are more
democratic than Mr. Greeley would
have been had ho been elovaled to
IAC Chief Magistracy of the nation,as
h$ doubtless would have called
around him such men as Sumner,
Trumbull, and others of ihe drafted
ed radical Republican party—like
Dr. Guilbert, sen.—to the almost
total discomfiture of the Democratic
wing ot tho coalilioii—who were
largely in ihe majority, though
thousands remained at home in dis
gust. I am, with great respect, per
sonally and politically.
Your old colleague and triend,

In the shanty which, in California's
early days, did duty as office tor the
banking, postal and express business
of Wells. Fargo & Co., in Marys
ville, there sat, one Saturday even
ing, a misanthropic and dejected
looking individual, whoso long and
unkempt hair and beard, cowhide
boots and rough dress bespoke the
miner. For over ail hour he aal
there the picture of despair, with not
a word or a look, tor any one pres
ent. Miners came, left their "dust,"
took their coin in return and ex
change greetings with all present
save the one morose man whose
apathy nothing, it seemed, ceuld dis
turb. Finally there entered a young
miner with si beaming tace, who,
after completing his business at the
counter, turned to the agent iu
charge and remarked that on the
previous Saturday he had somo deal
ings with the bank, and thought lhat
some mistake had betn made in his
aocount.
"Guess not," kaid the agent. "Our
cash was all right, and I reckon we
keep our books pretty atraight."
But upou the request ot the miner
that the acouiit should be examined,
the account was looked at, and it was
found that, through a clerical error,
the miner had been paid just #50 too
much.
''Thai's just what I make it," said
the lacter, "and here's your money."
With this he threw down the gold,
and received the thanks of the agettt.
While this eonvernation WaS in
progress, tho misanlhropte Miner had

The most remarkable specimen of

since Thursday ot last week. He
has been exhibiting himself in vari

puzzled not only the people but tbe
ithy*iciari8 and surgeons—they aro
unable lo undeisland his anatomy.—
He can move his heail to zny part
ot the body nl pleasure, and ev«-n

He has two sets ot ribs, one orwhich
he can move from its position to the
front ot the body covering the ahdo

Foil TIM BOTS.—Henjy Ward
Beeeher has written this "I never
saw anybody do anythiug that I did
not watch him and see how he did it,
lor there is no telling but thai some
lime I might have to do it myself. I
was going across the prairie my
horse began to limp. Luckily I oame
across a blacksmith's sli3p, but the.
smith was not at home. I asked the
woman of th« house if she would HI
low me to start the fire and make the
shoe. She said I might it 1 knew
bow. So I started a tire and healed
the shoe red hot and turned it lo fit
my horse's toot, and pan-d the hoot,
and turned the points of the nails out
cunningly, as I had seen the black
smith do, so that driving into the
hoot they should not go into the
quick, and shod the horse. At the
next place I went to, I went imme
diately to a smith, and told him to
put tho shoe on properly. Ho locked
at the noise's foot and paid tue the
gleatest compliment I ever rcreived
in my lite. He told mo it I put on
lhat shoo I had better tollow black
smithing all my life. Now, I never
should have kno*n how to do this it
1 had not looked on and sean others
do it."
A correspondent of the London

ly partially destroyed by fire, gives
an account ot acme relics which the
palace contained, and which had been

Among these were a bar of gridiron

Tho Empress Mario Lo.uise had
never been popular in-Paris, as Jose
pliine was to the last, nor had she the
tine instincts which so especially dis
tinguished the first consort of Napo
leon, who was, indeed,, his better an
gel. For example one day Napol
eon, having been proved by her fa
then the Emperor of Austria, de
clared to Marie uisc lhat he was
"an old gouache" (blockhead). Her
majesty asked ono ot her ladies in
waiting—as she said the emperor had
called her father by that naiue—the
moaning ot the word panache, and the
lady, not knowing what to say in
reference to the empress's own fath
er, answered lhat it meant "a vener
able old man." Marie Louise believ

her, she, wishing to bo very cotnpli*

Tho following communication ex
plains itself
Hon. Alomo Abernethy—Dear Sir:
I have your tavor ol the *«ilst, mak
in* inquries in regard to eons'.rtic
tion ot portions ot the School Law.
I am ot the opinion thai Section
II. Chapter 143. Laws ot 1866, is ap
plicable to independent districts or
ganized pursuant to Chapter 73, Gen
eral Laws of 1872, and that tho dis
trict must be organized prior to the
first day of August ot the year in
which the organization is attempted,
and that when such organization is
thus completed, all taxes levied by
the Board ol Directors ot the district
townships, are void. This, ot course,
includws school house,as well as other
taxes.
I can conceive no reason why the
Legislature should intend lhat one
rule should apply to one independ
ent district, and a different rule to
another district but can see why the
contrary should have boen intended,
and why unilormity and simplicity
in the operation of the laws should
hav* been desired. School houses
aud grounds are not assets, in the
sense ot iho term as used in Sectioi.
6, Chapter 73, General Lawa ot 1872.
The school house and grounds pass
lo the independent district in which
they were severally situated, and I
do not think the Bjard of Township
directors have tho power lo divide
the same, or to require the several
independent districts to pay therefor.
I think tho Board in all distiiote
containing less than five hundred in
habitants, should consist ol four men
btrt, viz. three directors and a Presi
dent, the President and one/lirec.or
to baeleo'ed annually.
Truly yours,
M. E. CL'TTS, Att'y Qea.
