Since the close of the war the War
Department at Washington has been soil
ing arms in large quantities to whomso
ever would buy them. After the opening of
hostilities between Prussia and France
tbe sales were continued. French agents
bortght largely. Mr. Sumner has insti
tuted proceedings of inquiry in the Sen
ate to ascertain whether the Administra
tion had knowledge a to who be
came the possessor of arms sold at a cer
tain time. Mr. Sumner's movements at
this time looks more like an oneknght on
the Administration of President Grant,
with the olj. ct of weakening its influ

that future development may remove

The Political Situation. v

paper on which then vi no discount. Uttu
reviewed the .polhfear sitaatiaej in iu
issue of tbe l&b inst Read the article
carefully y k states the poaitioos) of the
different parties tersely and correctly :
Tbe Republican National Convention
for tbe nomination of candidate for Pres
ident and Vice Presided, is) to assemble
in Philadelphia in June. Tbe free-trade
Republicans, nnder the lead of Carl
Scbttrx, will hold a convention in Cincin
nati. Whether tbe DenMcratie party
will join in tbia convention ia aa yet un
settled. Bat etill another convention ia
to be held eomewLere, that ia to include
the Labor Reformers, Woman Suffragists,
Prohibitory Liquor Law men, etc. ' As a
contribution to tbia latter organization
Mrs. Victoria C. Woodbnll, chief tbe
Free Lovers, pnblisbea a neat and grace
ful tnaniferto, withdrawing her candida
cy, as being an obstacle to harmony, and
agreeing to support the ticket of what
abe call tbe Equal Right Convention
Thai things are gradually beginning to
take definite shapes, and the issue be
tween the parties are gradually looming
up. The itch to proclaim reform of sotrie
kind seems to be universal among all
shades of the opposition. Carl Schurz's
idea of reform is to let anybody who has
been fivo years iu the country be elected
President of the Uuited States. Wen
dell Philips', idea of reform is woman
suffrage, and absolute extirpation of the
liquor traffic. Tbe Labor Reformer's
idea of reform ia to have high wages and
little to do. Mrs. Woodhull's idea of
reform 11 that marriages should be mere
temporary arrangements. Tbe rebel
idea of reform is that the southern States
uuld revert t tl condition anterior
,. ...
lu lsuu. lue jeuiocrauc lues oi rciurut
i that tbe Republican ahonld be turned
out of office and the Democrats put in.
Senator Trumbull's idea of reform ia
that the administration should have no
control over tbe civil service. Senator
I Sumner's idea of reform is that the ad
ministration should band over its powei
to tbe Senate Committees. Mr. Bry
ant' idea of reform is that foreign manu
factures should uniformly be encouraged
in prefertuce to domestic industry.
It is scarcely possible that out of all
this incongruous jumble of of ideas, any
one platform can be rigge d up that will
be satisfactory to the several factions.
, j j i . l.
unless, indeed, in taking a survey
in
company, they see any such effort to be
hopeless, and therefore agree to disagree,
and to go into the canvass merely with
a ticket and no platform. There were
possibly a great many protectionists who
were as discontented as the free traders
but the blatant efforts of tbe latter have
driven all tbe true fiiends of home in
dustry back into the ranks again. And
this id significant of what will ensue
with the sensible men who represent
other practical movements.
1 here could be no better or truer re
foim organization tbau the Republican
party has been since it obtained power
It has abolished slaver v. It has crushed
J
forever the oft mentioned rebellion of tbe
State sovereignty party. It baa given
the suffrage to the whole African-American
race. It baa secured them full civil
rights before the law. It enacted tbe
free homestead law. It has put down
southern terrorism. It bas reduced tbe
national debt. It has reduced the rate
of interest on the debt. It has reduced
national expenditures generally. It ha
largely and continuously reduced na
tional taxation. It has voluntarily adop
ted the civil service reform. It bas
sought to settle amicably our troubles
with England without the arbitrament of
wsr. It bas given to colored citizens po
sitions of high influence and responsibil
ity. It bas reformed the evil of the
Iudian service and maintained peaee on
alt tbe frontiers. By the firm mainte
nance of a protective policy it has done
more to build up home manufacture and
give employment to labor than had been
accomplished in twenty years prior to It
advent In power.
These are achievements that seem to
be forgotten., or conveniently ignored hy
those who are in haste to break down
what ia established and successful, and
set np something new and nntried. If
the"Tabor Reformers shall truly represent
tbe interests of the workingmen and wo
men of the nation, how can they assent to
free trade, which degrade labor to tbe j
lowest possible level, by setting np as the
grand desideratum mere cheapness of pro
duction, without reference to the question
whether labor can subsist on the wages
paid ? If the temperance movement
shall be represented in the convention of
reformers by earnest and sincere men,
can they join hands with tbe Democratic
party, which comprehends four fifths of
the liquor dealers oi the Republic, and op
pose the Republicans, who fsvoi" 'he rele
gation of the question to the iuberent
right of local self goverment ? If the
advocates of the elevation of women be
represented truly in tbi gathering, how
can they oppose the only party that ever
gave women employment as clerks in the
Departments, at geod salaries t And
above all, if the advocates of universal
peace are sincere, how can they oppose
an administration that haa put a atop to
Indian wars and made tbe only great
step forward to avoid international con
flicte ever yet made f These are things
worth pondering over.

It bas been reported that Vice Presi

Indianapolis Journal, disposes of that
report. lie says :
" No such effort is being made any
where by my wish or authority. Pub
licly and privately, in speeches and in
letters, I have invariably declared my
self in favor of President Grant's renom
ination, as well to those not friendly to it
as to those who were, and have so writ
tan to every friend in Indiana wbo asked
my opinion." I beg, for the
sake of harmony politically, and to save
me from tbe suspicion of bad faith to
wards one with whom my relations are
and always have been so cordial, that my
name may not be mentioned by any one
in onr State convention in opposition to
Geo- Grant, whom I believe to be the
first choice of a very large majority of
the Republican of the United State."

We admire and relish the great thoughts

tell us differently.
We could scarcely expect mind busied

Is it any wonder that so many unhap
py marriage were contracted with the
celebrated men of the world. Little food
could they find in the prosy common
place routine of domestic life for inven
tions or the imagining poetical brain.
Marriage with this class of men were
usually made on the same principle a
the rale of their work. Poor Goldsmith
was sorely distressed with the repeated
cries from hi laudlady for the rent due
her. Although he bad no one else to pro
vide for, he found the care of himself
more than his literary nature could en
dure. Xantippe is almost a proverbial
as "Mother Goose." In onr school day
we became acquainted with her scolding
propensities, but could not decide whether
she belonged to Napoleon or Washington.
Dr. Richard Hooker married a second
Xantippe. Ue resigned himself to hi
fate, lamenting that "saints usually have
a double share of the miseries of this life."
Dyden bitterly opposed matrimony. On
one occasion hi wife wished to be a book,
o tbat she might have more of his com
pany. He replied, " Be an almanac, so
that I may change ' you once a year."
Addison with a countess married discord.
She treated him as an inferior, although
she could not compare with him in intel
lect Luther wrote affectionately of the
handsome nun be took for a helpmeet, yet
be was frequently vexed with her trivial
conversation wben um tbongbts were
deep into work tbat would live long
after tbe great reformer' body had re
turned to dust. At one timo he locked
himself up to pursue bis sacred writings,
when the door was assailed by Kitty,
who threatened to send for.the locksmith
if he didn't open to her. "I was afraid,"
said she, on entering, ' that something
troubles ' you ;" to which he replied,
"The only thing that troubles me now is
yourself." Yet he write of her as being
pious and gentle, and at hi death left
her sole heiress of bis estate. Sterne
treated his wife with such severity that
she fled from him with her daughter and
took refuge in a convent
Napoleon loved the retreat of Malma-
isin, where from the tumult of war be
enjoyed rest with tbe peerless Josephine
Tbe pious Hooker would have preferred
death to a separation with such a com
panion. But the heart strings were bro
ken for tbe sway of that demon that
brought aorrow and desolation ever after
to the brave Napoleon.
The greatest philosophers , led single
lives. Bacon says wife and children are
a hinderance to great enterprises ; and so
they are when affection and intellects
are wedded to tbe world. Of course there
are bright exceptions, where lifetime
unions have been ipeut in peaee and hap
piuess, but we read more of tlie reverse.
One of the most beautiful picturee we
have in history is tbe conduct of tbe wife
of Lord Russell, who remained at his side
through his trial. How devotedly he
loved her we need not comment After
he bad taken a final farewell of his
steadfast companion, all he could aay
was, " The bitterness of death ia now

that a farmer named James Seymour,

the stack had been eaten around by the

Seymour' weight upon the edge of it,
combined with the high wind, toppled it
over, burying him beneath a frozen mass
of over a too in weight. Those present

A terrible accident occurred at Allison !
Mill, at Elkhorn creek, twelve miles:
north of Sterling, 111., ou the 1-th inst. j
A large quantity of grain was scored in ''
the npper portion of the mill. The force '
of the high wind caused the timber on
which the grain rested to give way, and
tbe entire mass was precipitated to the
floor below. Five persons were sitting
by the stove, which was broken, setting
the mill on fire. These escaped, but Dr
Win. K. Palmer was fastened, with his
head and nrck exposed. In tbat posi
tion be was roasted alive.
The Brookville R'pul.Vuon says :
On Friday morning hist, Henry Dun
mire, of Huath township, while employed
at hauling timber from the Craft job, met
with an accident resulting in LU death. He
was coming down the hill near Fraaier's
Steam Mill, when by some means, not
known definitely, as no person was near
or within sight of him, ho was caught
between I lie stick lie waa hauling and a
stump, crushing his head and producing
injuries that cansed his death almost in
stantly He leaves a wifo and a family
to lam-nt hb sudden and terrible death.
The Omaha Tribune of January 2Sth
says : "A California, iourneviue east.
foud himself caught on a snow bound
trajn ; t,e last storm, and. not havine-
a sufficient sum of money to meet hb
eating honse expenses, he hired out as a
shoveller on the railroad. Having work
ed half a day, he made up his mind that,
if be could shovel snow out in the cold,
he could also walk over the obstructed
part of the mad. So he started from
Lookout, and walked 90 miles to Chey
enne, whence he took a tram for this
city, arriving here yesterday afternoon
He left immediately for his destination in
