BBATTON'S CASE.-Although the excitement arising from the kidnapping of Dr. Rufus Bratton has subsided, the case is not yet ended. The British Lion, noted for his tardiness, has not yet growled out the stern demand on the United States Government for the re? lease of Dr. Bratton and the reparation of the injury done him, which it wat confidently expected would have been made before this, and for the punish? ment of Hester for his flagrant violation of the extradition laws. Dr. Bratton, although still under bond, lias returned to Canada, and is safe from another ar? rest, as by the provisions of the extradi? tion treaty, no citizen of the United States can be arrested in Canada for a political offence. We are informed that a motion is now pending in the Uuited States Court to vacate tho bond which Dr. Bratton gave after being kidnapped. We leam fur? ther, that the British Government will take no steps in the matter, unless the Federal Court refuses to vacate thu bond. Dr. Bratton having returned to Cana? da, whence ho was forcibly abducted, it is considered by the British Government that the vacation of the bond is au amend sufficient for the indignity of? fered. This may be so, as British honor is never drawn to a very fine point. But wo fail tu see how this vacation of an illegal bond, wrung from the victim under such outrageous circumstances, repairs in the least tho great wrong done to Dr. Bratton. Nor can we see how it repairs the insult to the British Govern ment. The vacation of tho bond, we presume, will end the case forever, unless the in-coming Greeley administration should take it into their heads to punish Mr. Hester for his share in tho nefarious plot.-Rock HUI Lantern. A * 'MAGNIFICENT ECHO."-Up in the Lehigh valley there is a hotel keeper who has a mountain about a quarter of a mile from his bouse, and it occurred to him that it would bo a good idea if he could fix things so that a magnificent, echo could bo heard from the mountain by persons who stood ut his hotel and halloed. So he engaged a boy to secrete himself behind a clump of trees, with orders to repeat the words of any ono talking on the roof of the hotel. After practicing to make sure, the landlord an? nounced one day his discovery of tho echo, and took up a lot of people to en? joy it. They called for half an hour, but no echo responded. At lust, when the landlord had become crimson with rage, and was about to givo in, the echo came, but not iu tho shape expected. It said: "Bin down to tho spring for mother. Fire away now. I'm all right." Tho guests smiled, and mine host suddenly disappeared. It is dangerous now to mention the word "echo" ut that hotel. Wo have received another version of tho recent Pope County (Arkansas) mur? ders. It appears that Dodaou and Hickox began the shooting in which the latter lost his life, and that tho Justice Brawn, who was subsequently killed, was one of the party of the Sheriff and Clerk, and of course shared in tho odium which their illegalities and crimes had exoited in tho country. There is a high? ly unwholesome condition of publio feel? ing growing up in the State, whioh will be greatly aggravated if the Governor listens to the bad advice of Dodson and his satellites, and declares martial law in the denounoed Counties. Nothing but the overthrow of the carpot-bag tyranny seated at Little Rock aud sustained at Washington can bring peace to tbo State. \Neio York Tribune. "What makes you so grum, Tom?"

How THE ADMINISTRATION ENGINEERS I THE "STRAIGHT" ENTERPRISE.-It bas been evident, since a very early day in the campaign, that the administration party, in its fear of defeat, was prepared to resort to any munns of securing a re? newed lease of power. Of course, it has endeavored, iu tbe prosecution of its most deeply-laid sobemos, to preserve tbe utmost seoresy, and thus fur it has been tolerably successful; so much so, that while it has been rumored and more than suspected that the whole machinery of the so-culled "Louisville movement" was being operated by tbo Administra? tion for its own purposes, aud that the petty local managess were tbe merest of puppets io its bauds, the direct evidence of tbeso facts was wanting. That evi? dence, or a large portion of it, we are now in a position to supply. We have reoeutly been placed iu possession, from a perfectly reliable source, of some facts in relation to the secret workings of this "movement," wbioh accord so well with the external indications us to leave room for no doubt whatever as to their genu? ineness. The following are the facts referred to: Witbiu a few days after the Baltimoro Convention, and when it had become apparent that some few Democrats were dissatisfied with the nomination, it oc? curred to a leading member of Grant's I kitohen Cabinet that some capital might I be made out of fostering and encourag? ing snob opposition to Mr. Greeley as ? might ba found among Democrats. The idea, when communicated to his fellows, found favor in their sight, aud it was resolved to act npon it at once. In pur-! suance of the resolution, instructions were issued to several leading papers in the Administration service to encourage the feeling of disaffection among the Democrats to tho best of their ability. It became apparent, however, after a short time, that this feeling of disaffec? tion was dyiug out. A meeting of tho kitchen Cabinet was called, this time not more than 50? miles from Indianapolis, and at this meeting it was insisttd that all which was needed to make the move? ment a partial success wore a candidate and au orgau. It was resolved to have recourse once more to the almighty dol? lar, and after considerable discussion, the following programme was agreed upon: Charles O'Couor, of New York, was to receive a professional retainer of ?50,000 for allowing the uso of his name as a candidate at Louisville, aud the Chicago Times, which had already coquetted somewhat with the movement, was to be guaranteed au iudemnity against the loss to its circulation which was sure to accrue from the open advocacy of a third nomination. Subsequent to this meeting, and dur? ing Chandler's recent visit, a meeting was held in this city, at which measures were adopted in the interest of Grant for pushing the movement in the Western States. It was resolved to appropriate a sum of money for use in each State, and the amount allotted to Michigan was $10,000-05,000 to be paid to the local engineers, and the other $5,000 to ba expended in procuring delegates aud paying expenses. How far these arrangements have been carried ont, wo leave tbo public to judge. It is quite certain that Charles O'Conor is beiug approached on tho subject of a nomination at Louisville, and tho Chi? cago Times bas all tho premonitory symptoms of an entire readiness to bo tho organ of the movement should tho other part of tho agreement bo carried out aud Mr. O'Conor accept the nomina? tion. Confirmation of the agreement] concerning Michigan is found in this State. Tho letters recently published in the Free Press, showing that mou have been approached with oilers of a trip to Louisville, with all expenses paid, if they would go as delegates, self-appointed, arc very siguiticaut, especially as the offers emanate from ouo who, however willing to devote a little timo to tba gra tiiicatiou of private revenge, is well known as one who would not spend his own money in pulling Grant's chestnuts from the lire.-Detroit Free Press. A HUMILIATING SPECTACLE.-Thc Bos? ton Post stigmatizes tno spectacle ex? hibited by the Grant Cabinet as humili? ating aud without a parallel in our republican history. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, takes his carriage and horses on a Government vessel to Ports? mouth, whence he mukes electioneering excursions into Maine, speakiug from the stump and actively employing ull thc arts of the consummate demagogue. He is using tho people's money to obstruct their free choice in the election.

A Novell IN ONB CHAPTER.-A roman? tic marriage took place at the Garoo House, Wyandotte City, on Saturday last. The circumstances ur? these: A Miss Moshier, living in Freeport, Ste? venson Connty, III., became engaged to a young man named Morrison, of the aame place. Business being dull there in 1865, the time our story commenoeB, he concluded to try bis fortunes in Cali? fornia. He departed, promising to write regularly, and either come or send for her as soon as fortune smiled upon him. Two weary years rolled by, and she re? ceived no letters from him, and nothing was heard by his or her friends of his whereabouts. A report about this time was circulated by a young man named Shipman, postmaster of Freeport, that Morrison was married. Although hardly oredited by Miss Moshier, still his long silence, together with the report of his marriage, made her corns to tho conclu? sion that she was forgotten. Shipman now beoame very assiduous in his atten? tions to ber, and after a short courtship asked her to beoome his wife. She, stung with the treatment of her first love, consented, and they wore married, and oonoluded to make their homo oui West, removing from Freeport to Kan eas City. Here everything went ot smoothly for a ttme, but in an unguarded moment her hupband told her he had in tercepted Morrison's letters to her, anc that he bad written repeatedly, but ai soon as they came into his hands thej were destroyed. Instead of forgiveness as be expected, she upbraided him fo: his perfidy, and, in chort, led bim BUCI a life that ho deserted her. Altera timi she commenced aotion for a divorce which was granted on the ground o abandonment. She still remained ii Kansas City, doing the best ehe could ti obtain a livelihood. Morrison, afte waiting two years and hoaring nothinj from the obj cot of his affections, gre* restlms, hut still worked on until new came of her marriage. On bearing thi he immediately paoked up, with tho in tention of returning home to ascertai: the truth of tho report. On his wa, home ha determined to stop at Kansn City, and upon his arrival there almoE the first person he met was his long-lot lovo. Mutual explanations took place and she being free again, n speedy mai riage took place beforo Jusiico Newmai of Wyandotte, last Saturday, and thu; after seven years, two loving hearts bi came one.

He was a mau of limber tongo and could sell Yaukeo notions and prent the gospel very handy. It was his wi to load up a wagon aud peddle i through the country, leaving his sto in tho charge of his wife during his a senco. Finding himself, late in t week, upon a curtain time, too far frc home to get bnck, and having sold o his load, which at that time consisted dried apples, which, by tho way, won little wer my, ho gave notice that would preach tho next day, which v Sunday, to tho people. Many gathered in to bear him. I text was: "And by their fruit yo sb know them." Ile haudled this subji in his usual gallant manner, and dosi up his hermon with a glittering pa graph, ho repeated tho text: "Yes, i friends, aud by their fruits3-0 shall ku them." Just at that poiut up jumped a rel grocer iu tim place, vrtio had dealt w tho exhorter the night before, and .sn loud enough to be beard if the chili bad been twice as large: "Yes, friend, ami hy the won/is in their fir apples, too." They tell a hurd story of a newly m ried brakeman on ono of tho West? roads. While with bis bride in Ciui uati, a few nights since, he dreamed t his train was in imminent danger.

Ia Tu H HI; A GOD?-HOW eloquently does Cbataubriand reply to thia inquiry : There ia a God I Tbe herb of tho val? ley, the cedars of the mountains bless1 Him; the insect sports in His beams; the elephant salutes Him with the rising orb of day; the bird sings Him in the foliage; the thunder proclaims Him the beavens; the ocean declares His im? mensity; man alone has said, "There is no God!" Unite ia thought at the same iustant the moBt beautiful objects in nature; suppose that you see at once | all the hours of the day and all the sea? sons of tbe year; a morning of spring and a morniug of autumn; a night be? spangled with stars and a night covered with clouds; meadows enameled with ilo wers and forests hoary with snow; fields gilded by tints of autumn; then alone you will have a just conception of the universe. While you are gazing upon the sun which is plunging under the vuult of the West, another observer admires Him emerging from the gilded gates of the East. By what inconceiva? ble magio does tbat aged star, which is sinking fatigued and burning in the shado of evening, re-appear at the same instaut, frosh and humid with the rosy dews of morning? At evory instaut of the day the glorious orb is at once ris? ing, resplendent at noonday, and Betting iu the West; or rather our senses deoeive us, and there ia, properly speaking, no East, West or South in the world. Everything reduces itself to a single point, from whence the king of day sends forth at once a triple light in one substance. The bright splendor is per? haps that which nature can present that | is most beautiful; for while it gives us an idea of the perpetual magnificence and resistless power of God, it exhorts at the same time a shining image of the glorious Triuity I London is Bpoken of as tbe largest city iu the world; as covering 122 square miles of ground; as being ten miles in length and over six* in breadth, and as containing nearly 4,000,000 of inhabi? tants. Still we have no adequate con? ception of its vastness. We muat resort to comparison to comprehend it. The 4,000,000 of inhabitants of London, then, exceed the combiued population of New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. LOU?B, Chicago, Baltimore, Cincin? nati, Boston, New Orleans, San Fran? cisco and Buffalo. To feed this multi? tude requires, among other items, 5,400, 000 barrels of flour and 3,400,000 ani? mals-bullocks, sheep, oalvea and hogs I -for the London markets, irrespective I of immense quantities of game and fish. It is almost a nation in itself, this won? derful, gigantic, overgrown giant of a city. The Lexington Press says: "There was in this city on Saturday, a more re? markable natural curiosity than most of those whioh Mr. Barnum boasts of with so much pride. It was a young negro, who attained his twelfth year in July! last, and who is now six and a half feet in height and well sized in proportion. His growth is extraordinary but not Bud? den. At three months he weighed fifty pounds, and his increase in size and weight has been steady ever since. Should he continue to grow np to the period of his majority, he will be, beyond doubt, tho largest mau in the world, and worth his weight in gold to such a maa as Barnum. Indeed, the golden egg is laid. The fat woman is nowhere beside a giant only twelve years old." If any further proof is demanded that Grant's administtation is a swindle on the people, and a first class fraud on the world, look nt tho matter that passes through the mails under thu frank of Senators and Congressmen of tho Grant persuasion.
