TnE postmaster general has issued
an order cutting down the service on
the star mail routes to once a week af
ter the first of March. Thi3 is done, as
lie says, that there may be no deficien
cy created to maintain the service for
the prestnt Qscal year, as the law re
quires that he shall not exceed the ap
propriation. Apropos of this we quote
from the Lincoln Journal:
The order of the Postmaster General
cutting down the service on the "star"
mail routes to once a week, aud abol
ishing all new routes opened wiLlim
the past year, will perhaps end the ef
forts t cripple our mail system by the
Confederate brigadiers. The star
routes are those in districts not sup
plied with railroads, in far"? com
munities of the South and West, and
the change is made necessary by the
persistent refusal of Congress to make
the appropriations necessary to con
tinVtfte service. The wants of JJ
people will now find a voice, and that

the democratic obstructionists, and-se-4ie

T1IE NEW YORK CONVEMIOX.
Unanimous For Grnnt.
Utica, February 24. The largest
number of people ever gathered at
state convention in this city are here
now. All the hotels are full to over
flowing and guests are quartered in
other houses. An air of quietness pre
vails among delegates who aro for
Grant. They say but little and show
that they feel their strength. The
Blaine delegates exhibit more feeling
and evince a determination to insist
udoii full recognition of their right to
be heard in the convention. . They
claim to be entirely ignorant of the
Drozatame which the majority intend
to carrv out. Good authority, howev
er. says it will be as follows: Chas. E
Smith, of Albany, will bo temporary
chairman and perhaps permanent
chairman; also Edward S. Pierrepont
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions. Stromr resolutions in favor of
the nomination of a Grant delegation
to Chicago to be named by the delega
tion from congressional districts, and
no resolutions instructing the delega
tion to Chicago to vote as a unit, that
not being deemed necessary.

THE MOUNTED RIFLES.
Oar Old Regiment.
SECOND ANNUAL DINNER OF THE VET
ERAN ASSOCIATION.
The second annual dinner of the
Veteran Association of tiie First New
York Mounted Rifles was given ia the
Stnrtevant House, Feb. 12th. Before
entering upon a discussion of the good
things which the Leland's had excel
lently prepared to tickle their palates,
the veterans held a meeting to elect
officers for the ensuing year, and the
following-named gentlemen were chos
en : President Col. B. F. Onderdonk ;
Vice-President Major E. A. Hamil
ton; Secretary and Treasurer Serg't
W. II. Armstrong; ExecutiveCounmit
tee Gen. Charles C. Dodge, Col. Wal
ter S. Poor, Sergt. W. II. Armstrong,
O. D. Krausa, and Il.II.IIeaseV. Thirty-live
of the veterans sat down to the
table, and washed down their rations
with generous libations of wine. At
9 o'clock the menu was exhausted, and
the old boys then indulged in memor
ies of the past, and liyed over again
for a few brief hours their lives on
the battlefield. American Hags draped
the walls, the centre-pieces on the ta
ble represented two forts on opposite
sides of a river, aud on the mantel
piece stood an oil painting of a mem
ber cf the regiment, mouuted and rea
dy for action. All the surroundings
prompted remembrances of the war,
and the rerainisscences bro't up would
fill a volume. Major Idgar A. Hamil
ton, acted as toast-master, and the
toasts were so ai ranged that the re
sponses gave a complete history of the
regiment from the time it left this Ci
ty to the close of the war. To the
first,' "Our Regiment" Gea. Dodge re
sponded in a brief and earnest addi ess
"Our Commanders" brought to his feet
Lieut. Kranse. "The Union" was an
swered by Walter S. Poor. "The Wa
ter Battery," where the regiment wa3
first stationed, was humorously de
scribed by Sergt. Walton, of Troop A.
and "The March to Norfolk" was viv
idly pictured by Sergt. Armstrong, who
defended Geus. Wool and Mausfield
against the attacks of Gen. Egbert L.
Viele, who, in a recent article, charac
terized them as "t wo cack 1 i ng ol d hens."
To the toast "Suffolk," Major Hamil
ton responded, relating the history of
the regiment daring the occupancy of
that village. Corp. Edward S. Cream
er read an original poem on "The Ab
sent To-night," and Col.-Onderdoak,
who presided, gave the history of "The
Regiment on tho Peninsula." Brief
speeches were also made by William
II. Armstrong, of Philadelphia, a mem
ber of Troop B; Lieut. Kennedy, and
several others, and it was midnight
before the re-uaioa closed. N. Y.
Times.
The way towns and people some
times lose a dead-sure thing is thus
told by a correspondent of the Lincoln
Journal: '
The Nebraska City papers are st ill
mourning tho loss of the U. P. R. 11.,
which they say "they fead right under
their thumb," several years ago. Per
haps they had and perhaps they hadn't.
At one time the beautiful city might
have been the initial point of the LT.
P., and that time was when Judge
Kinney wa3 the democratic candidate
for delegate in Congress. The Juries
interests were all at Nebraska City,
and at that time lie had considerable
influence with the Iowa delegation in
Congress, and laight have secured the
road for Nebraska City. It was a not
able fact that the Republican counties
of the Territory gave democratic ma
jorities that year, and that the fount y
of DouglrtS gave bam DaiJey, a Repub
lican, a largo majority. Mr. Dailev. it
was kaowu, was pledged in writincr to
secure the U. P. for Omaha; henco his
majority in Douglas Couuty. But the
men who really laid Nebraska City in
her grave, so far as the U. 1. is con
cerned, are J no. B. Bennett, Tolbert
shton, Frank White, Win. Fulton,
ind four others whose names wo can
not call. They did it by defeating the
preposition of the B. & M. to change
their initial point from Plattsmouth
to Nebraska City. This party of eight
men were working up a railroad grant
for a road from Nebraska City to Fort
Kearney, and thought the change of
location of the B. & M. would inter
fere with their plans. About the same
time Senator Tipton had another (the
B., Ft. K. fc P. R. R.) contemplated
road from Brownville west, and the
bill provided for a rather magnificent
land grant. The domain of tho Gov
ernment was being flittered away ea
wild-cat railroad, corporations, and
Congress wisely put a stop to it, and
the scheme of the Nebraska City and
Brownville nabobs went up the Hume,
so to speak. Had they bent their entr
ies to securing tho B. & M., which
was a railroad iu fact, instead of try-
D!to gobble up a large portion f tho
aads of Government for railroads oa
paper, tne result mignt have been dif
ferent. This is the true status ef the
case as it stood years ago.
COIUIESPOXDETCE.
South Rend Notes.
Not seeing anything from our town
n your last issue, I will give you a
few items. Eusinsss has been brisk cf
late; lots ef corn coming in, both ear
and shelled. We had two law-suits
here last week; one man sent from
here to the connty cooler; all on ac
count of the high price of old iron.
Will Wells was in town this week
oa leal biz; we learu he will soon
come here to stay. I see some corre
spondent of the; Chronicle, has been
inline it on rather thick. We are aware
there i3 a great deal of money paid out
here for grain ; but when South Bend
puts it at $10,000 well, that is rather
hefty.
"T," in the Sentinel, has a Dr. Stea
meat located here; also Marsh Bros,
in tbe hardware business. No such
firms here. The Hay Bros. run a hard
ware store, and Dr. Stewart attends
the sick. (It was Mc's Cholera mixture
that did it; it wa3 strong as well as
salt.) Our town is to have a public
well and sidewalks, streets graded up,
etc. We had a masquerade ball on tha
20th ; there were about 33 masks , and
everything passed off smoothly; no
disturbance of any kind. A. E. Buck,
oar old 11. R. agent, and his lady are
visiting their old frieads here.
I saw ia tho Enterprise a local call
ing attention to the amount of shelled
corn taken in by a grain firm in your
town in one day 26 loads. Our grain
men here think it dull if they do not
get from 30 to 40 loads a diy ; but then
rhittsroouth. is only a tide staticu, and
can't expect to compete with stations
on main lines.
J. & II. J. Streight Lave ordered an
engiue for their elevator, to take the
idaco of their horse-no wer. I under
stand they are going to move a part
of Sarpy Centre hero soon, Mr. Dill
having sold the parties a lot to set
their buildings on. Mr. Alonzo Loop
and his young bride have returned
from their bridal tour, and are going
to settle in the Bend. There have been
several carloads of migrants' goods
unloaded here lately, all for families
who contemplate settling on lands ad
jacent to this place: there is still room
for more. John Cree has returned from
Jersey to settle in tho Bend; eaye te
would not take a deed of that State
and stay there. The Campbellites are
to have preaching in Dill's hall for a
few nights. We have a milk man now,
and milk is brought to our doors for
33 cents per quart; cheap enough.
In my next I will give you the
amount of grain handled here for Jan
uary and February ; also the amount
of freight received. Will now close.
Yours, Mc.
Weening Water Notes.
W. W. is moving along in much the
same old style; business just now is
rather dull. To-morrow, Wednesday
evening, we are to have a grand con
cert; it will be rendered by the W. W.
Orchestra, T. L. Potter presiding. To
judge from the programme, we antici
pate a good attendance. The subjects
and pieces are well chosen, aud worthy
of patronage from all.
Messrs. Chase & Co. are building.
This time it is a large furniture store,
in addition -to the hardware, etc. I
suppose they will make things lively
in the furniture business.
Mr. S. Ripley would do mere busi
ness at his meat market than at the
billiard hall.
Will endeavor to send you a better
prepared letter next week.
An Odd E. T.
From Lonisrillj
Winter is jolly, if we don't have any
snow or cold weather, and our young
folks have been well supplied with
amusements. The zenith of this win
ter's fun was reached last Wednesday
evening, in the exhibition given iu
Glover's hall, which was a success in
every particular, and all the more in
teresting, because, first, it was produc
ed by homo talent, and, second, be
cause nearly every one taking a part,
did so for the first time. Credit is due
to Mr. Curtiss as manager of the whale
affair. Prof. Albe's String Band was
the orchestra, and only the foot-lights
were lackiug to make it a first-class
theatre.
Considerable corn is coming in now,
at 17 cents; wheat ranges from 90s to
95c; market active. Business, in gen
eral, seems to be picking up. This
warm weather sets farmers to talking
of sowing wheat.
in our last we promised you some
statistics. We have procured the most
of them, but not all that we desired
We give you what wo have. This

Now to show you what a thorough
faro this place is I have also ascertain
ed the amount, in weight, of merchan
dise received at this place for Weep
ing Water, during 187i), and it foots up
to nine hundred and eighteen thousand
seven hundred and sixty-five pounds.
Theso figures are official and correct.
And now a few words in regard to
the notorious Pankouin road, and I de
sire to say that the contention for the
road, in opposition to Mr. Pankonin is
not for the purpose f spiting or in
any way injuring him, but for the
purpose of securing as good a road
from that direction as can reasonably
be obtained: or rather as far as the
read relates to Mr. Pankonin, retain
ing what has already been obtained.
True, tho public, (of whom in this
case, at least, tho county Commission
ers are the representatives or Agents)
are aot justified in appropriating pri
vate property for the public use with
out good reason, and not then wit
out paying tho person or persons the
value of property taken ; and now it is
not for me to sav whether Mr. Pan
kouin received all tba money he was
entitled to as damages or not The
amount wa3 fixed by three disinter
ested men, and were he not satisfied
in their judgment, lie should have ap
pealed to the County for justice;
(which by the way ha often do?s, in
some Iriyal dispute with neighbors,
and nearly as often get3 beat) but in
stead of doing that he took the money
appraised as damages, and now wants
to cheat the public out if what they
bought.
I suggest that Mr. P. and his hired
and policy friends, allow the public to
possess their own in peace, until they,
P. & Co,, can offer, at least something
near an equivalent.
A marked contrast with the course !
Mr. Pankonin has pursued is the case
of Mr. A. Shoeman, who while that
same detested Ramsey was one of the
Commissioners, allowed a road to be
located lengthwise through an eigh
ty, leaving him a strip of land on one
side of the road 100 rods long, and 38
wide, and accepted $50 as his compen
sation, without even having apprais
ers appointed, and this on first class
farming land: which Mr. Pankonin's
is not.
T. S. in last week's Herald says:
"The road runs thirty-five rods east in
to Mr. Pankonin's farm;" now that is
the only part of hi3 article that points
to the truth; he came within a rod of
tha truth in that one case, it runs thirty-four
rods into his farm, just enough
to get beyond a deep hollow, on which
nothing but brush has ever grown since
white men knew it, and which no one
ever thought of utilizing.
Again he says "Mr. Ramsay belong
ed to the Commissioners," if so Mr.
Ramsey ought not to be blamed, he
only served his masters. Ue cilso in
forms us that Mr. Ramsey, (according
to his brother) was a boy, and no one
denies that such was once the case,
but that was before he belonged to the
Commissioners; and it is evident that
Mr. Ramsey is not responsible for his
sex if he was a boy; and if he was
what has that to do with the Pankon
in road anyhow. Perhaps T. S. never
was a boy or a girl either; if not per
haps he is Darwin's missing link, and
if so please give due credit for the
great discovery.
It seems to me that T. S. betrays the
weakness of his position when he re
sorts to a personal attack on a gentle
man, who was once a member of the
board of County Commissioners, and
during whose term of office about
all that ever has been done in the way
of improving roads and bridges in the
vicinity in question., was done.

Our Union says: "We wish we knew
the name of tho Chicago Judge. It
ought to bs emblazoned in golden let
tors, lie is the man who gave the 'lash
with the snapper, as the Chicago Ad
vance phrases ii, to the liquor sellers
convicted of selling to miners. He ar
raigns them in tersest terms; shows
them that 'having license they, in
their 'legal selling' may produce pov
erty and destitution, starvation and
degradation. Xo matter for agony and
disgrace, Ue cause is legalized. The
license' empowers them to attract, al
lure and ensnare by very means. Rut
there is a single 'mete and bound'
which may not be passed, which the
'license doss not cover. Roys chil
dren may see all the attractions; they
may behold their seniors quaff and be
satisfied; they may learn how, but the
'license' permits not the liquor to pass
the lips of the minor everything but
this absolute, overt act. This one priv
ilege is denied. But having so much,
the saloon-keeper thought he might
have all, and he passed this one point;
but our judge says this one thing tho
man has not paid for. The fathor, the
mother, the community must have the
few years of childhood befofe the li
quor-seller cau begiu his work. There
fore, to tha three saloon keepers found
guilty of selling liquor to minors, he
says: 'For this offence the Court sen
tences you to ten days' imprisonment
in the county jail, and that you pay a
fine of seventy-five dollars and costs.
and that you stand committed until
the fine and costs of this prosecution
aro paid.'"
Would that the "Chicago Judge"
were ubiquitous t
But we quote still further from Our
Union: "As a result of the Chicago
Citizens' League for the enforcement
of the law forbidding the sale of li
quor to minors, the nuai'oer sent to
jail is reduced by six hundred, instead
of increasing at the rate of two hun
dred a vear, as arrests of minors had
done before this work began. The de
crease in arrests of minors is three
hundred a year during the two years
of the League's work."
Drafn-W8rk, Alcohl, aad Tobacco.
James Parton concludes a recent ve
ry suireestive article upon the habits
and death of Bayard Taylor, whoa he
had, as a personal friend, warned
against the danger of wine and beer
drinking and smoking, as fellows:
Mental labor is not hostile to health
and life; bat I am more than ever con
vinced that a ruaa who lives by his
brain is of all men bound to avoid sti
mutating his brain. Ia this climate
to stimulate the brain by alcohol and
tobacco is only a slow kiad of suicide
Evea the most moderate use of the
niilde3t wine is not without danger,
because the peculiar exhaustion caus
ed by severe mental labor is a constant
aud urgent temptation to increaso the
quantity and strength of the potation.
1 would say to every yon man in tha
United States, if I could reach him, if
you mean to attain one of the prizes of
your profession ana Jive a cusertul
life to tho age of eighty, throw away
your dirtv old pipe, put your cigars ia
the stove, never buy any more, become
an absolute teetotaler. taKe your din

Americans can learn two wholesome
