ffbe nt. 3. ?. PRICKS TT. Bditor. THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1876 The republicans of New Hampshire will hold their state convention on the 6th of January. The expenditures of the United States government since 1879. for internal Improvements, amount to •104.706.103. About •86.000.000 of this amount was on account of Pacific railroads. ___ ( Senator Boot, of Missouri, introduced a bill in the senate providing for the payment of custom dues in greenbacks. It wsa referred to the committee on finance. The political cauldron is beginning to boil and seethe, and in a few months the country will have upon its hands one of the most hotly contested political contest ever engaged In by the various parties in this country. It is the opinion of well Informed persons that the bouse of representa- * tlves will pass a I*lll substituting greenbacks for national bank notes. What fate a bill of that character would meet in the senate Is a matter of conjecture. Thf. law passed by the legislature of Minnesota in 1873, assessing a special tax of $lO per annum on each liquor dealer in the state, for the creation of a fund to erect and maintain an Inebriate asylum has been pronounced constitutional by the supreme court of that state. Under the provisions of this law, the liquor dealers of that state are compelled to support the drunkards they make. The erection of the building is not to be commenced until the fund has reached the sum of •25.000. . The following are the various committees in the senate with the name of the chairman of each: Privileges and elections, Morton; Foreign relations, Cameron, of Penn.; finance, Sherman ; Appropriations, Morrill, of Maine; Commerce.

The B. A O. railroad company have erected shops here of a very permanent character, which are equal in every respect to the shops us other roads, and which Indicate this to be the permanent end Os the division. New buildiugs are springing up ou every hand, and a peraon would almost imagine that he was on the site of a town that bad been destroyed by fire and was re-building, from the number of new building being erected. While we believe that Garrett is destined to make a town of * considerable importance in afew years, we think the location is a miserable one. We have seen something of the world, but for mud ot ih»\»tickiest character, to GSyjNjtL Bro. Maloney wij/l certainly agree with us that the miasmatic Influences of those swamps which encircle the town are not very attractive. The crop reports from all the principal grain-growing countries of Europe are anything but favorable, and if these reports can be relied on. we certainly think that there must be considerable of a foreign demand for grain from this country, and a consequent advance in prices. In regard to the crop prospects of Europe, the Chicago Post and Mail mys: Ttw Mtvfe* from the leading agricultural district* ot Europe are by no means favorable tor the prosperity ollbefarmluijrlasses. In addition to the deficient yield and tnfeno* quality at last season's crop*, the cooUnued rams which hare prevailed throughout Great Britain. France. Belgteta.

mnnumnua. The president’s annual menage to congren will be found on the outside of this isaue of The Enterprise, and will well repay a eareful perusnl on the part of our readers. It is, pnfc»P% the ablest document that has emanated from Gen. Grant, since his elevation to the chief magistracy of the nation, and taken ail in all will give almost universal satisfaction on a majority of the topics treated therein. After giving a general review of the growth and prosperity of the country since the formation of the government, he takes an advanced position on the educational question, and recommends a constitutional amendment requiring each state of the Union to provide adequate means for the education, in all the . rudimentary branches, of all their children, irrespective of sex, color or religion. He also calls the attention of congress to the subject of taxing church property, and suggests that i only the last resting place of man i should be exempt from taxation. In respect to our foreign relations, . be shows that there is uo probability of a foreign war, and that the United States government has but little to ' complain of on the part of other nations, except, perhaps, the Inefficiency ‘ of the Mexlk|D government to prevent : armed bodies oTbgr citizens from mak- ' ing raids upon the'Texaa border. In regard to the Cuban wh!le deploring the distracted‘’Condition of ) things in that island, and the destruction of property, the president does not think that there exists in the island, , an organization rising to the dignity , of a nation deserving of recognition, as such, on the part of the United , States. The settlement of all claims of the * government of the United State* , against foreign nations, and vie* versa, has been effected in a manner satisfac- [ tory to this government, and, as we > said before, uniess the Mexican troubles should lead to an Outbreak, or our relations with Spain become more ■ complicated, there can be but little i apprehensions of a war between the 1 United States and any foreign power - during the centennial year of 1876. . The president is as silent as the grave . in regard to the causes which occa- ; sioned the recent activity in the naval ■ department of the government, and that subject is as much a matter of con- ; jecture as before the message was made public. President Grant, In refertng to the finance question, seems to have forgotten his recommendations to congress on this subject in a previous message some years since, and is completely blinded by the delusive arguments of the bullionists and ** money changers,” and receoro mends such legislation as will tend to carry out the provisions of the resumption act of 1875, a recommendation which, if acted on, will bring financial ruin to the Industries of the country and distress and starvation to many of bor citizens. The message, in the main, is an able document, and, with the bare exception, l perhaps, of this one recommendaE‘*- - i in regard to specie resumption, heartily endorse its suggestions recommendations, but bis position on this question alone, if nothing else, will array the masses of the people against the chief magistrate, and will, aa it should, effectually prevent, by tbe remotest possibility, bis re-nomi-nation for a third term, should be desire such action on tbe part of the republicans. IKDICTUBHT OT OU. BABCOCX. Gen. Orville E. Babcock, colonel of engineers in the United States army, and private secretary to president Grant, has been indicted by thegrand jury of St, Louis, for conspiring with other parties named in the bill, to defraud the government out of the revenue tax upon large qnantities of distilled liquors manufactured in that city. Beyond making a simple statement of the facts in the case, we should not consider it our province as a journalist to go, were it not that the enemies of the president are raising a great hue and cry over this action of the grand jury, evidently to injure that personage by striking at his private secretary. The discovery of these frauds upon the government, and the punishment of those engaged in them, are as much due to the action of president Grant as to that of secretary Bristow, and in view of the fact that the president instructed the grand jury to “let no guilty person escape," It is idle to attempt to imply a knowledge | of these frauds upon his part, when he has taken no measure Wo shield the guilty, or to prevent a full and free examination into the alleged frauds on the part of the persons named in the indictment Whether General Babcock is gnilty or innocent of the charges alleged i against him are matters that will be fully made apparent when his trial < takes place, and until that rime arrives It Is out of place to discuss the question in the public prints of the country; but as the subject is seized upon by sensational and partisan journals to make capital against the chief magistrate, we venture to caution our readers against accepting in full faith the statements of these journalists. Gen. Babcock protests that be is innocent, and the president who is fully advised, no doubt, ss to the general’s explanation of the evidence against him, profanes to believe in his entire innocence of any implication in the matter. When the first intimation was made of that individuals connection with the frauds in question, he demanded an investigation, and throughout, his bearing has been that of an innocent party. It is supposed that the evidence against him consists of the telegrams sent him by some of the convicted parties, which be claims he can explain in such a manner at to establish his entire innocence of criminal conduct or intent It is pitniblti that those telegrams were seat by Joyce and A very for the express purpose of being used to secure the influence of Geo. Babcock. I V • link: i I

' and through him, that of tbe president Ito secure their acquittal should their fraifls ever be discovered, and that Babcock, never dreaming of guilt on the part of the authors of the telegrams hadßot his suspicions aroused as to their real import It would have been natural fol those convicted parties to suppose that tbe president would shield them from punishment rather than have suspicion rest upon one enjoying the position of his private secretary. The bitter hatred of the president evinced by Gen. Henderson in bis speech on tbe Avery trial, shows the possibility of a conspiracy to blacken, not only the name of Gen. Babcock, but that of the president likewise, and when everything is fully understood, his conduct is not surprising. He was a member of the United States senate from Missouri at the time of the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson, aud voted; for that gentleman’s acquittal, and ever since that period has been very hostile to the president, and it is surmised that be took this occasion to wreak his revenge. “Let no guilty one escape” is a met to which should be lived up to in every thing connected with this matter, and if Gen. Babcock is found to be Innocent of the charges preferred against him, this action of Gen. Henderson will bear investigation. No man should be permitted to attempt to blacken tbe reputation of auother with impunity, and if Babcock Is innocent there are guilty parties who should be punished for tbelr attempt to blacken his uame for ail future time. If he is found guilty, he should be punished as Joyce has been, but until that time, it does not become his enemies and the enemies of tbe president, to endeavor to bias public opinlou against him. EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. CONDUCTED BY FROr. W. L MATTHEWS, COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT, AND PROF. r. MCALPINB, PRINCIPAL SYRACUSE •CMOOIA. ECONOMY IN SCHOOLS. It is a conceived opinion in this day and age of the world that we fail to do enough work. This opinion does not extend to our schools alone, but to all the various trades and professions in the land. The trouble is that a vast amount of our work is not effectual, People do enough work, but in many cases it is to no purpose. Our people must have large farms, commodious mansions, over-grown horses, and in fact, everything of huge dimensions. An elephant is a small animal when compared with the general idea of doing business. A small farm, if properly managed, is much more productive than a large one conducted in a different manner. A small and convenient house, well furnished, is less expensive and more comfortable than a large one half finished and inconveniently arranged. A common sized horse is more easily curried, it costs less to feed him, and will often do more work than a large one. It is not necessary to say anything about the elephant, as showman have informed us that the more they have of such animals the sooner their concerns become bankrupt We cau scarcely take up a daily newspaper and glance over its columns, but we find notices of the failure of business men of all occupations. We read of failure on land, and disaster at sea, and then do not seem to understand the situation. We also complain of hard times, and sometimes wonder why it is so. We wonder why time is lost, business is lost, work unskillfully done, and are surprised at bankruptcy and financial ruin. After thinking awhile, we arrive at the erroneous conclusion that 1 we do not work enough. We tbiuk that ten hours a day is not enough time in which to do all this mischief. If we would only stop and think, we would certainly come to tbe conclusion that it would be better to do less work and do it better. We should work less hours and then economize our tirneso as to produce better results. Then when we shall have learned to economize our time and money, we shall understand the situation better.. There is a grow lug error In our schools that our teachers do not labor enough —that the children do not get along fast enough. Persons who find fault with our teachers in regard to such matters, should pause and think before they arrive at a conclusion. Such persons should not condemn until derstand the entire situation. Some persons think that it Is economy in school to have long sessions and run over numerous lessons without stopping to think as to the probable results of such a course. We think that it Is economy to teach less hours and thereby do our work better, as a person who thus intelligently labors, has more mental as well as physical activity, and is certainly able to accomplish better results. The successful teacher does not mind what people say when they complain that their children are not permitted to run through a book promiscuously. It is not school economy to permit scholars to rush through books, and thus consume time to no certain advantage. The teacher should have the courage to say how much and how well the pupils should recite. Teachers and parents should remember that the majority of our failures in life is owing to our defective education. Our first lessons in school prepare our way for success or failure in life. It is economy then in our schools to do a little well, rather than run over so much imperfectly. That which is true of the termer, the tradesman, or the profession. is true of tbe school, for it educates them all. Teachers' institute will meet at Syracuse next Saturday. Our hurt institute was well attended, then being 80 persons present in the afternoon. Institutes will also be held at Milford and Benton next Saturday. ——————» ♦ The grand jury at St Louis has found an indictment against Gen. Babcock, for complicity in the whisky i

Weaver A Grim having agreed to disagree. The,supper given by the Milford band was a success. Receipts over S3O. As Christmas is coining soon, look out for nice things for the little folks. Groves A Bro. have received a big stock. Some of our boys have “swared off." Good idea. Buthopeit won’t belikeold Rip Van Winkle, “as this was the first time what we meeted,” you know. Some one asked us the other night if there was any law against “chucking” dice on Sunday. We referred him to our deputy prosecuting attorney. Two of the western boys made a small donation to the state of Indiana, one day last week, in consequence of getting too much “ tarantula juice.” Almost a “ set-to ” between two of the opposite sexes, on Main street the other day, over a barrel of lard. The woman came out ahead. Hurrah for woman’s rights. That troupe of colored brethren failed to “draw to their hand,” and “passed out" with only a “four flush." Guess talent is not appreciated very highly at this place. We are compiling a statistical report of the amount of grain and stock shipped from this point in the last three months, which we think will surprise a few of the “one hoss” towns in Kosciusko county. If you don’t think Simon Miller can “jerk the filling” out of a turkey quicker than any other granger in this section, just pay a visit to his park on slaughter days, and you will be convinced that we are right for once. Our city is once more operating under a license, Mr. Elisha Miller having secured a permit from our honorable board of commissioners to retail the ardent. Don’t know as things can be any worse than they have been. Hope not at least ■ 4 “Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise," so once said one of the old boys in the long ago, and we think “ that’s what’s the matter with Manner” in this neck of woods. But look for an explosion before long, that will discount nitro-glycerine. Keno. From Goshen. Fred Douglass will lecture here ou the 21st inst. The new’ high school building is about completed, and will be dedicated during the holidays. Last week, Joseph Zollinger brought 16 hogs to town that weighed 6,180 pounds, and netted $417.15. J. N. Everett is a new addition to our bar. He resides at Elkhart, and bis genial and gentlemanly appearance recommends him. “ Dombey & Son,” the janitors of our court house, charge $5 a night t<> light up the court room for citizens’ gatherings; and pay the amount over to the county commissioners? you ask. No, they stick it in their own pockets. A few days ago a gentleman stepped into one of our stores, and told the clerk that he wanted to buy a dairy. The latter began to explain that he knew of none for sale, but that there are plenty of farms well calculated for raising stock, —here a by-stander interrupted the counter-hopper by saying that his customer did not mean dairy, but diarrhoea. “Oh, ahl" said the clerk, “ges a bottle of Perry Davis’ pain killer will make that all right, shall I—”. A third person finally set things all right by suggesting that the inquirer is after a diary. Talking of diaries reminds me of one in the possession of a friend. He found it near * Syracuse during the war, and its inscription proved it to have been the property of a soldier, who was then at borne on a furlough, on account of an honorable wound received in battle. Military restraints having been removed, the jovial fellow got into a spree, and lost his diary. Duringalife of two years in ciygp, our soldier friend found only two incidents worthy of being recorded in his book. The first was his experience for a few days prior to the battle of Sbilob, when h« wrote tb us: “It rained all day yesterday, and it rained all day to-day, and it rained all day next day, and it is so muddy, that a fellow can’t walk for falling down." Then there was a blank interval of more than eighteen months, when the next entry was made in these words: “ Last night I hugged a girl.” Happy fellow! Talk about advertising in a newspaper. One of those fifth wheels in a wagon, a traveling doctor, who infests our city periodically, advertises himself effectually and economically, in his own body, by wearing bis hair about a yard and a half long, be the same more or less. In color it is a shade darker, or a shade lighter—l don't know which—than a bundle of tow, and it bangs in admirable entanglements around his shoulders. Everybody notices this walking and breathing oddity, and everybody inquires after his name and business. I would say to monied men—“Tbe best speculation the market bolds forth. To any enlightened lover of pelf. To buy L»r. at the price he ta worth. And sell him at that he puts on himself.” Speaking of tbe medical profession, we must not overlook Dr. Montgomery, whom Billy Beane pronounces one of the most noted physicians of Elkhart. The Dr. is of African precedents, and as black as Othello is reported tb have been. He is a small man. with a crook in bis back, a rheumatic twist in his hands, and a pair of lips that would do honor to tbe walrus of tbe Arctic seas. He is making an effort to reunite the barber and tbe surgeon, as they were one of yore, but has unfortunately gotten himself into trouble —perhaps through the envy and jealousy of his professional brethren of Elkhart At any rate, he has been imprisoned and re-impris-oned two or three times, and is now languishly, wearily, walking our streets, a broken-down genius, on bonds of S2OO.

Persons in possession of incidents connected with the early history of the county, are requested to forward them to this office. The long looked for and talked of bell for the new church has arrived, and will be placed in position to-day, and to-night its reverberating peals will be heard throughout the length and , breadth of the prairie. The attendance of teachers at the ■ township institute Saturday, indicates 1 a healthy condition of educational as- , fairs, nearly every teacher in the township and some from abroad, being present The idea of some old fogies, that 1 institutes are a useless expense. Is er- ; roneons. Elder Abbott is conducting a protracted meeting at the Christian church. ! The elder hews to the line, no matter where the chips may fall, and if they 1 should fall into the well of the hearts i of some of the flock, and splash the water out at their eyes, it’s all tbe same to I him. 1 A number of the boys made their 5 regular semi-annual pilgrimage to WarL saw last week to tell the grand jury, what they know about “forty rod,” ice t houses, &c. If some ingenious philan- . thropist would invent some other plan 3 of bringing offenders to justice, and 3 have that relic of the inquisition abol- . ished, taxes would be lessened, and future generations would rise op and bless him. 1 * Jay Cooke. .

Keno speaks of there being more hogs than Christians in Milford on a 1 certain Saturday. Wonder if it is not an everyday occurrence. A wedding, a suicide, or an elopement would be in order to drive away the present dull monotony and create a t little excitement, enough to last until ) Christmas at any rate. Departed from this place, on last > Saturday, by the 2. P. M. Express, U. 1 Banbr&ke and L. H.

Cyrus Mark, of Chicago, formerly a 5 merchant of this place, and father of > our estimable young merchant, Cyrus Mark, Jr., is here visiting his son and I attending to some business matters. , We hope that he may find it conven- ' ient to stay with us for some time. * A low-lived ex-convict of the peni- ; tentiary, named Hatfield, having served three years in that institution, ‘ found his way into the house of D. ’ W.

He came to this place and took the train for Goshen, oh Friday ! evening last Since then his where- ' abouts is unknown. The authorities J were put on his track on Saturday, but with what success Is yet unknown. The report was put In circulation on ■ Thursday last that Moody and Sankey * and an other kindred spirit had arrived by the way of the B. A O. railroad, but upon strict inquiry, it was ascertained to be the trio of Syracuse “innocents,” Wm. Bowld, Adam Ketring and Mar- ■ tin Hillabold. Our people were somewhat disappointed, but nevertheless we were well entertained during the afternoon until tbe 7 o’clock train on the C. W.
