FRIDAY. MACH 7. 1873.
Hi ij iImmm
Aniitritiiit
We see io an exchange that Mis
souri Democrats are exhibiting some
commendable indications of pro
refsiveness. In the legislature a
hill was introduced requiring; any
dram-sliop-keeper, who wished to
procure a lieenw, to present to the
proper authorities a petition, signed
by a majority ot the tax-payers liv
ing within a square mile of the pro
posed location of the dram-shop.
An effort to table this bill was not
only refused, but another bill was
presented, requiring the proposed
liquor seller to furnish a petition,
signed by a majority of the tax
payers of the entire township or
municipal corporation. The House
passed this amendment, and the
bill was continued for further con
sideration. The exchange from
which we gather these facts, says
"this action is the more commend
able when we consider that it is
likely to result in a loss to the party
of a large number of German
Democrats." This warfare of Mis
souri Democrats against one of the
most ancient and influential agen
cies in the upholding of Democracy,
will very likely disturb the thoughts
ot their "breetbering" of this State.
Tightening Vp.
The Indiana Legislature has been
reconstructing its divorce laws. It
has reduced the number of legal
causes for divorce to seven : habit
ual drunkenness for three years;
abandonment for three years ; fail
ure to provide for support of wife
for two years; cruel and inhuman
treatment; conviction for heinous
crime. It stipulates that the party
suing must prove a continuous resi
dence of two years in the State, and
newspaper notice alone will not be
sufficient. Unjointing will not be
as frequent now, among the " Hoos
iers," as formerly.
The Senate Credit Mobilier Com.
mittee reported on the 27th nit.,
with a resolution, "That James W.
Patterson be and is hereby expelled
from his seat as a member of the
Senate." The testimony in the re
port does not affect Logan nor
(inkling in any sense. 7'he com
mittee consisted of Morrill, of
Maine, Chairman, Scott a-1
Wright, Rep., and Stockton and
Stevenson, Dem. The report was
unanimous. Its reading fell like a
bomb-shell in the Senate, the reso
lution causing the faces of Senators
to lengthen perceptably, they being
entirely unprepared for it.
. .
On the 27th ult., a resolution
offered in the House of Representa
tives by Sargent, viz : "That the
House absolutely condemns the
eoudnct of Ames and Brooks,'' was
passed. The vote in the case of
Ames stood yeas, 181; nays, 36, In
the case of Brooks, ayes, 178; nays,
32.
Congress, in answer to petition,
has donated to the Army of the
Cumberland eighty-eight pieces of
condemned bronze cannon for an
equestrian statue to General Thom
as. It is said five bright, beautiful
little girl pages brighten the legis
lative halls of Kansas. Those
"pages" read well
The Modae War.
Advices from the seat of the Mo
de war to the 27th ult, say that
Hooker and Jim Curley, with .Tack,
Shack and Nasty Jim, -had come
into Fail-child's on a friendly visit,
by permission of Capt Jack. They
also wanted to consult with the
chief of the Lakes for the re
turn of sixty horses they had taken
from the Modocs since the first
tight. After the conference, he
agreed to return them, saying he
only intended to take care of diem
for the Modocs. Gen. Canby made
them a speech, telling them he
wanted peace, but was ready for
war, and wanted to do them jus
lice. The Commissioners declined to
hold a council on the spot designat
ed by Jack. Roseborough and
Steele probably arrived there yes
terday, and it was thought a coun
cil would be held on Saturday. Al
though peace is anticipated, it is by
no means certain.
It is thought by some that the
Commissioners will make a demand
tor the murderers of the settlers and
the removal of the Indians to a
reservation. The Indians think the
Commissioners will allow them to
return to Lost river, as they were
before the war.
Castellar, of Spain, has addressed
a memorandum to foreign powers,
urging an immediate recognition ot
the Republic. He argues that Eu
ropean powers having recognized
the resolution of 1868, cannot re
fuse similar action with regard to
the Republic, which is its logical
consequence.
Dispatches from Paris assert that
a reconciliation has been effected
between Due de Montpensier and
ex-Queen Isabella. Prince Alfonse
is to marry the daughter of the
Due, who will assume the regency
of Spain.
It is stated that every Modoc
would gladly go on the reservation,
if given a free pardon for the mur
der of the settlers. We suppose
they would, and stay there, too
until the troops were all withdrawn.
It is said an American is going
to blow the cataracts out of the
Nile, and make it navagable for
ducks clear, to Ijiji. O, we are a
"blowing" people.
The Grand Army of the Repub
lic now numbers 1,200,000 mem
bers in the United States. There
are five Posts in this State aggre
gating 1,200 men.
An exchange says, "A citizen of
Palmyra, Maine, owns a coat which
has been in constant use for fifty-
seven years." It must be of "many
colors,'' by this time.
One hundred Apaches recently
surrendered themselves as prison
ers of war at Camp Grant 7'he
rigid proceedings of Gen. Crook
gave this "bent" to their minds.
People in Iowa keep themselves
warm by burning corn instead of
making it up into whisky and be
coming "corned." They use 50,
000 bushels per day that way.
A Wisconsin woman has killed 8
wolves this winter, and chopped
her cord of wood a day. Mrs.
Fair, on "wolves," would do better
a-corrf-ing.
"Little Khoda" bad 201 divor
ces last year. She ought to be
ashamed of herself.
Vbtrlted Times.
; It would seem from a fetter in a
i recent number of the San Francisco
I Chronicle, from Honolulu, that the
friends of King Lunalils were much
i in doubt, rfilativn tn tka Oi.it, m r
the Legislature. So fearful did they
become, lest some trick would be
resorted to defeat the Prince, that
on the day set apart for voting for
King, crowds of anxious and ex
cited people, armed with revolvers,
clubs and stones, gathered in and
about the Legislative Hall, determ
ined to repel with violence any
undue opposition to defeat their
candidate. The entrance of Luna
lils in the hall was greeted with an
outburst of thundering cheers that
made things tremble. In voting,
the members of the Legislature
were required to write their names
on the back of their ballots, and
after they were all presented, each
ballot was read off with the name
signed to it The result was, no
Representative, Noble, or Cabinet
Minister dared, if he wanted to, to
vote for anybody but Luualils. He
was elected unanimously, and the
people were satisfied. Accompan
ied by the Chancellor and crowds
of cheering people, he then wended
his way bareheaded and on foot, to
the Palace. At first the guard re
fused to let him in the gates, and the
crowd were on the point of smash
ing them in, when better council
prevailed aud he was admitted.

coming rather monotonous.
