FRIDAY, JUNE £3,1871.

TJIEKE is a Col. Geo. II. Butler, who, at the present time, is Consul General in Egypt. Following the precedent set by the illustrious occupant of the White House, he has been receiving presents for official favors and if the presents do not come freely and voluntarily, he contrives to force the gift. This tariff of presents varies, of course, according to the importance of the office. For an appointment as second or third interpreter to the consulate at Cairo he exacted $500, while for a place as consular agent at Osioot he required a present of $1,500 in gold.

It is impossible to doubt that Butler has enriched himself by such exactions. In the better daArs of the American Republic such villainy would not have been tolerated for a moment but at present a remedy is not to be expected. How tan a President who has himself introduced a method substantially the same in the distribution of the highest oflices under his Administration find fault with a scamp like Butler for levying this sort of blackmail in a remote country like Egypt And how can he punish Butler for doing there what Grant himself has done here.

Will the American people make a note of this? See the effect of an evil exam pie. The President of the United States takes presents, and why not Government officials in all parts of the country? No man can deny but Grant bestows his favors specially to them who give the largest presents. It is the chief characteristic of his administration, and the most biting disgrace to the Republic tiiat it has had.to endure, owing to its chief executive officers, since its formation.

EMIGRATION to the fertile regions of Northern and Northwestern Minnesota is this year larger than ever before. The Red River valley is said to be literally covered with emigrant wagons, with their usual accompaniments of children, furniture, agricultural implements, household utensils, and stock of all kinds, while the roads from Sauk Cen-tre and St. Peter show daily accessions to the vast caravan that is steadily wending its way in the direction of the "Star of Empire," according to Bishop Berkeley. It is estimated that during this season more than two hundred wagons per day pass Northwest over that portion of the main road that leads from Alexandria to Pom me de Terre, and on this stretch the camp-fires, built by passing emigrants, are never permitted to go out, being revived and replenished by a fresh cortege almost as soon as their predecessors have resumed their march. The Scandinavian element is greatly predominating in this unbroken stream of emigrants, probably because the climate in that part is but little different from that of their native country, while many other similarities exist that make them take more kindly to their new Western homesteads. In connection with this, it may be proper to state, that during the first week of the present month the total arrivals of emigrants (of all nationalit ies) at Castle Garden, New York, were 11,043, and the total number arrived from January 1 to June, 1871, 77,191.

in the name of common sense,

is the reason why Frenchmen, who in other matters do not lack for logic, should become invariably and inconceivably absurd whenever discussing their own politics? Thus we find the Situation, a Bonapartist newspaper in London, loudly declaring, "though the column of the Place Vendomeno longer exists, yet that it shall be restored," and then adding, •with the everlasting and inevitable French menace "Let not Germany rejoice too much at what has happened Pray, what, everybody will ask, had Germany to do with the destruction? But it will have something, it appears, to do with the restoration. "For that we shall need, says this Frenchiest of editors, "the bronze of an enemy, and even iu the pangs of death wo cling to the hope of retaking it from those who who have taken it from us Bah

California All liight.

It will be seen by reference to our telegraphic column that the Democratic party, of California, in their State Convention assembled, have adopted the forward movement. In every State where there has been a convention held by the Democrats since the organization of this movement, it has been adopted. Everywhere it is meeting the approval of the party, and the masses will adopt it as soon as it is more fully understood. Every day lessens the number who are so foolish as to oppose this most right and proper movement. The Terre Haute

Jaurnal, like a raven on the outstretched limb of a dead tree, still croaks despair. However, it will be all right when the proper time comes.

Mit. S. R. HAMiZZTtrfSumvati, is iu the city seeing his many friends. He reports the Democracy in Old Sullivan all right on the forward movement, and says what the Journal of this city affirms in relation to this matter is not true, so far as Sullivan county is concerned. No man can speak more advisedly than Mr. H., and we have not the least doubt but he states the fact. Among all the Democratic papers of this Congressional District, the Terre Haute Journal now stands alone in its hostility to this impor

tant

movement, and if our judgment is not much at fault, it will soon he alone among individual Democrats.

THE New York Sun puts the case as follows: "The Berlin correspondent of the London News writes that it is rumored that Count Mol tke has expressed his resolution to Emperor William to decline the present of a million of thalers, whicli it is intended by the Federal Council and the majority of the Reichstag to bestow upon him. He has Declared himself quite satisfied with the honors that have fallen to his share, while his habits are so inexpensive that he has no use for more money than he already possesses find he cannot see that his nephew, who has been made heir, has any claim to receive money from the nation. It will be seen that the views of Count Moltke are very different from those of the distinguished soldier whom the venerable Postmaster of Covington has pronounced the greatest General in the world. President Grant has never been known to decline presents from the public nor from private individuals who may be struggling for official position but, on the contrary, he seems to -believe that such evidences, of appreciation should be encouraged by so distributing the public patronage as to foster a spirit of liberality on the part of office-seekers. And while the great Prussian General protests against his nephew and heir being provided for at a public expense, our famous American General insists on quartering all his relations and all his wife's relations upon the United States Treasury utterly regardless of their fitness for the lucrative offices into which they are thrust. This striking contrast in the opinions of two Generals, who within the past few years in their different fields of action have attracted the attention of the world, can hardly fail to create comments at home and abroad which will cause Americans to feel very proud of their President."

A REMARKABLE triumph of surgical skill is chronicled in the Louisville papers. A lew weeks ago a little boy, six years of age, while playing on the stairway of the Gait House, fell a distance of seventy feet, alighting upon a stone fioor, from which he was raised apparently a lifeless, shapeless mass. Iu the course of his fall he struck a projecting corner of the staircase, breaking an inch board across the grain, and further down he struck and broke an oak baluster an inch in diameter. Numerous fractures and a terrible scalp wound were produced by this frightful fall. The right arm was crushed into pieces above and below the elbow, both legs were broken at and near the ankle joints, and innumerable contusions were received all over the body. Notwithstanding these dreadful injuries, under skillful surgical care the child not only recovered, but now has a perfect use of all his limbs.

Tins business of divorces for desertion increases in a way by no means pleasant, for such divorces are always suggestive of collusion. Connecticut used to be considered a steady sort of State, yet it had in 1870 not less than 408 divorces granted, or 1 for every 119 marriages. Now, it is suspicious that 215 of these separations were upon the ground of "desertion." It is easy to see that this desertion is a scheme upon which parties wishing to break the matrimonial tie can always agree. If the divorce a mensa ct thoro did not bear so hardly upon women, we should say that it would be better to go back to the old practice, and to grant only that kind of divorce for desertion. The divorce a vinculo, we are pretty sure, has been made a little too cheap by hasty legislation.

THETheirsGovernment has mercifully decided not to shoot the vast crowd of women arrested for incendiarism, or at*tempts at that crime, during the late collapse of the Paris Commune. Twentyfive hundred of these wretched creatures are to be sent to the French penal settlement of New-Caledonia, in the South Pacific. The population of the island is already somewhat mixed—Malays, Papuans and Jews constituting its chief elements. The addition of so great a number of French women will, probably, produce a marked and permanent effect on its inhabitants.

THE antiquarian editor of the Cincinnati Commercial has just discovered that the last Indiana Legislature passed a Fee and Salary Bill that it received the votes of Democrats and Republicans in both branches of the Legislature, that it is "embarrassed by conflicting requirements," and made to accommodate "all sorts of opinions," and that if properly amended it would be a very good law— all of which has a breezy freshness for Indiana readers.—Indianapolis Journal.

Yes, it has a great deal of "freshness" to "Indiana readers" who depend upon the Journal for a knowledge of Indiana affairs. That sheet never found out that there was such a thing in existence as the "Fee and Salary Bill" till after the Legislature had adjourned, and when it found out, it informed Iudiana readers of it in much the same fashion that Mr. Tossman, by yelling "fire," informed the people of Dingley Dell" that Mr. Pickwick had fallen into the water. It was a "Democratic bill," "the work of Democratic noodles," a "mischievous bill," although it originated with a Republican, was engineered in committee and Senate by a Republican, was passed by a larger proportion of Republican than Democratic Senators, and exhibited its "mischief" mainly in equalizing the county salaries with duties. When a State paper knows so little of its own business, and tells that little so falsely, it is time for "antiquarian editors," or anybody else, to give "Indiana readers" some notions of their own concerns.— CincinnatiCommercial. ,,

How It Was Done.

It appears that the endorsement of President Grant by the recent Pennsylvania Republican Convention was obtained by a trick.

The Committee on Resolutions decided by a vote of two to one not to report a word in favor of the President and the platform was introduced without any mention of his name. After it had been adopted, and when the Convention was on the eve of adjournment, the Grant resolution was offered by Judge Shannon, and accepted without opposition, as an open repudiation of the President, it was l'eared, would have a disastrous effect.

It is a curious question whether the endorsement of President Grant, procured by such means, will do him as much good as his endorsement by the Convention tinder any circumstances will do the Republican

party

Nobody but Mr. Boutwell ever seemed to suppose that capitalists would buy up a loan at 4 and 4i per cent, when they could come into the same market and buy up the same kind of securities bearing 1, 2 and 3 cents higher interest.

IT is possible that Gen. Cluseret, late Communist Minister of War, may survive to read his own obituaries in the English and American newspapers. It is now rumored that thi.s soldier of fortune is alive and will be arrested. The original report of his execution was but a line from Paris to the London papers, to the effect that he had been executed by the Versailles authorities.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

Tlie ollowing* conversation recently took place between parties living in tliis city, and being reported to ns, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. V,. to Mrs. Tl.—T saw you wifli now dross on (ho other day as you wore pa in in id a or it Mrs. 11.—Fifly-fivc cents a yard.

Mrs. li.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R,—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. 33.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not I always buy ichcre I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there i§ no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as tiiey advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut tliem out and bring them with you that niay see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stufling you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. J2.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tolo that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented?

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I pot a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut oil" a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that hod sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with .it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in 1 happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor'"bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he olfered to return me half nnj movvg. I suppose I ouplit to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New Yoric City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit tlie above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.

FOSTER BROTHERS.

As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first

started. Perhaps they do different now. Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half .an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have

your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try thi.s firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores 20 or SO per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.
