Great as the German empire has proved in material power, her greatness M intellectual culture aud in all knowl­ edge, is still more commanding. Un­ doubtedly her pressent millitary as­ cendancy is largely due to her schools. But her greatest glory consists lit the citizens produced by her liberal edu­ cational policy. Her numeorus learned men and their world-wide investiga­ tions, and her men of genius and literary renown, have* secured a more perma­ nent tame to Germany than the success other arms. Military glory may be obscured by defeat, but the triumphs of geuius and Cultivated mind, in scieuce and in literature, survive dy­ nasties and empires. Any sect or any party in this country, Which places itselrin oposition to the public countenance and support of com­ mon education, or of advanced educa­ tion and learning, opposes the best interest and the manifest destiny of the nation.

The Colonel, it will bo remembered, carries in his head a half ounce of lead shot there some time siuce by a political opponent who thought thereby to sileuta the criticism of the Leavenworth Times. On the night CoL Anthony tvas shot, Mi. W. II. liond, af Leaveiiworth, drdnk a toast to Anthony's death. Somehow Bond secured the nomination on the local Republican ticket for an insig­ nificant oiliee, and Col. Anthony, while supporting the ticket, opposed the can­ didate who had so heartly approved the attempt to ttssassinate him (Antho­ ny). . Therefore, the County Commit­ tee proceeded to read Anthony wit of the party,and have denounced him and his paper as unworthy the support of the party. According to the ideas of the small politicians of the Committee, the proper thing for Anthony to have done would have been to enthusiastic­ ally support the candidate who had enthusiastically endorsed the attempt on his (Anthony) life. The latter will, however, survive the excommunication ats lie did the bullet of his assailant, and may, through h!» paper, yet teach the County Commit tee that it has no authority to to speak fo>r tlio party. t&TA certain Whitehalier Is in the habit of using the eomiuou expression, MBy the way** to a considerable extent, gfome time ago, during a religious awakening, be experienced a change of heart, and began attendance at pro­ tracted meetings. Finally, one even­ ing, he gained courage enoagh to rise and ofler a prayer. He did well until the dosing up, when he abruptly sat down without the usual "Amen." As he dropped into bis seat the omission occurred to him, when he arose quickly, and with the index finger of his right hand extended toward the presiding pastor, ejaculated: "Oh. by the way-- atnen," and immediately resumed his sent.--Whitehall Times. spciynyivr n LETTER SPRINGFIELD, Nov 8th 1875 PLAtx DEALER :--Now the Noves^K ejections are over, and the demdtMna party is beaten everywhere. EveryjMfebf ground gained last year is lo8t a8aiu> an<^ however diverseSftinions may be as to the defeat, there Is only one centiiUMK among soberminded, un- biassedwpen, no matter what party they iHjpi^lo, in regard to its future ^a<:e: dead and buried, and all ef­ forts to'lestore it to life again, howev- ®r ^*EY n»ay 1MS, are fruitless. Those AM are not convinced of this fact yeMare mistaken in the seal cause of its tlifeSt. They claim that the money and school questions brought its discouraging result, and d platform on these ques- t yet lead the party to vio- xt years election. How vain are is clearly shown by the n New York. There the*de- dopted a "hard money" plat- e school ion didn't come into consideration. The ticket was composid of the best and ablest men. Headed by Gov. Tilden they had adopted a reform policy which was rati­ fied by levery honert man in the coun­ try. B&it still they came near sharing the fat# of the Ohio democracy, which stood 4n the opposite side in the money puesti^n. Whether resumption or iu^ |iation|)e their watchword, is all the fame i#th(> end. This leads one to search for some other fault for its de- tlie money q,uestion. and it >und. The fact is that those ins who helped the demoerats victory last year, had be- ,(disgusted with the increasing on in their party and wanted It a lesson. They went over her side, not out of conviction, •i»iy for easting a vote of mis- tgaiust republican corruption. *n!t was that the republicans d reform, and the deserters re- (ttined to ihqflrown flag. They may not yp approve every action taken by rcpuftpoii leaders, but rather than to give"flew strength to a party they have successfully combatted for the last fifteen years, they remain where they are. Whey choose the smallest of two i these late victories can't Miblican party either. It itaajjvejv amcrnsSed out of existence^ftnrt out o the best mater*al from both stdes a party will arise, which is the coming party for the next deoennium. I hope you will excuse me for molesting you Avith my political jargon. There is so much written and said about the po­ litical situation now, that a person cjui't help hut form his own opinion about it, and having nothing particu­ lar to write you this time I got to"gass- iug" so much about politics without intention. Local matters are very dull. Noth- !ng going on anrwhori*. Not even a burglar or rowdy in town to enliven things a little and furnish material for items. Everything is quiet, except our matrimonial market, which is quite lively. From 12 to 15 marriage li­ censes are issued weekly. This lively condition of things most be attributed to the strange fact that our young la­ dies have turned the tables and are do­ ing the "^capturing" instead of the men. If this was leap year such proceedings would explain themselves. But being as it Is, no other excuse can be quoted for their strange actions, than their be­ ing in the majority. They are making a lively raid on bachelors, whether old or young. Under these circumstances even your humble correspondent couldn't escape their persecution. If he had been assailed by one at a time, heaven knows what might have been the result. Btgt being besieged by three at the same time he managed to get out of the affair nicely,by referring them to the large number of unpro­ vided for young men of McHenry, and promising to inform the boys of Mc­ Henry that want to be tvcapturedn to come down here. In eonsequence of this many a sleepless, night is spent, (by the remarkable trio) patiently watching and waiting Iter the boys. Will suoh patience aud! constancy be unrewarded? F.
