The case of the w hile men. who have always been both voters and jurymen, is not so full reported. A late speech ol'Geu. lirisbin tells this story : While in command in Kentucky a eiiurtniiu'lial was assembled til this place, and fifty-six white Kentucky' soldiers arraigned before it for trial. Their counsel entered a plea in their behalf, which was presented to Col. Cllinmings, the president of the court, and which, on exami intioii, was fbund to contain six names and forty marks. Thus forty-six native white Kentuek ians could not writo their names, a gift which, according to logbcrry, conies from nature. Another case is mentioned where, in what is called lilackwood precinct, there were fifty-six voters, of whom "si.x could read and write, and fifty could not. At the pulls it was lbuiid that fifty men had voted the Demo cratic ticket, and six the Republican ; and, on consulting 4he poll-books, it was further ascertained that the luiincs of the six men who had voetd the Re publican ticket were the six who could read and write."

Before the dinner hour Lotcz returned, and was pointed out to the stranger, who made special note of his man. When dinner was called, Lope, and his as sassin occupied opposite seals at the ta ble. After some minutes, during which time the stranger called for and drank a glass of wine, ho deliberately rose, draw a concealed knife, and sprang at Lopez, and stabbed him nine times. The stranger then took his hut, and, as he started to leave, said : i'This is the way nil traitors should be paid." No one interfered, or prevented the assas sin from leaving.

Hit Eeivllrnri Andrew Jultrty), I'nui- (hht I'llilrtl Strifes: Sin I am in receipt of your order ofthis date, directing me to appoint General G. II. Thomas to the com mand of the Fifth Military District, General Sheridan to the Department of .Missouri, General I Iancock to the Department of tho Cumberland, nrd also, your note of this date enclosing the instructions to carry into effect the enclosed order saying "I would he pleased to hear any sugge.-.tion you may deem necessary resptvting the as signments to w hich the order refers." I am pleased lo avail myself of (his in vitation lo urge, earnestly urge, in the name of a patriotic people who have sacrificed hundi'eds of thousands of millions of treasure, to preserve the integrity and 'union of this country, that the order be not insisted upon. It is unmistakably tin; expressed wish of the country that General Sheridan should not be removed from his pres ent command. This is a Republic w here the will of (he people is the law of the land. 1 beg lliat their voice may be heard. General Sheridan has pcrlonucd his civil duties faithfully and intelligently. His removal will only be regarded as an clliu't to defeat the law of Congress. Il will he inter preted by the unreconstructed ( lenient in the Smith, those who did all they could to break up this government bv arms and now wish to be the onlv element consulted as to the method of re-loring order, as a triumph.

He has repeated ly entered his protest against being as-sie-ned lo cither of (he live Military Districts, especially to being assigned lo relieve Gen. Sheridan. ( icn. Han cock ought, not to be removed from where he is. His Department is a complicated one, which will taken new commander some time to become ac quainted with. There are military rcaeons, pecu niary reasons, and above all patriotic reasons, w hy this order should not be insisted on. 1 beg to refer to a letter marked "private," which I wrote lo the President when first consulted on I he subject of change in the War De purl meat.

J General 1 have received your communication of the 17th iiist.,and thank you for the promptness with which you have submitted your views respecting the assignments directed in my order of that dale. When 1 slated in my ollicial note of the 17th, that I would lie pleased to hear any sugges tions you might deem necessary upon the siibji'c!, it was not mv intention to ask from you a formal report, but rather invite a verbal statement of any reasons affecting the public interests which, in your opinion, would rentier the order inexpedient. Inasmuch, however, as it is a writeu communi cation, it is proper that I should make some reply. You earnestly urge that tho order be not insisted on, remark ing that it is unmistakably the expres sed wish of the country, that General Sheridan should not be removal from his present command. While I am cognizant of the efforts that have been made to relieve General Sheridan in command of the Fifth Military Dis trict,! am not aware that the question has ever iteeu submitted to the people themselves for determination. It would certainly lie unjust to (he army to assume that in theopinion of the na tion he alone is cipable of commanding the States of Jjotiisiana and Texas, ami that were he for any cause removed, no other General in the military service of the United Stales would lie com petent to fill his place. General Thomas, whom I have designated as his successor, is well known to the country, having won high nnd honor ably distinction in the field. He has since in the execution of the respon sible duties of a Department Comman der exhibited great ability, sound dis cretion nnd sterling patriotism. He has not iiiiled under tho mast trying circumstances to preserve pence and order, to encourage tho restoration of civil authority, nnd to promote as far as possible a spirit of reconciliation. Tho administration of the Depart ment of the Cumberland will certainly compare most favorably with thnt of General Sheridan iu his Military Dis trict. There affairs appear to be hi a AS GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE 1M., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1867. disturbed condition, nnd a bitter spirit of antagonism seems to have resulted front General Sheridan's management, lie has rendered himself cxocelingly obnoxious by the manner n which he has exercised even the powers confer red by Congress, and still'niorc so by a resort to authority not granted by law, nor necessary to his faithful and efficient execution. His .rule has in fact IteenVncof absohitijiyranny, with out reference to the principles of our Government or nature ot our free in stitutions. The state of nli'iirs that has resulted from the course h ; has pursu ed has seriously interfere' with a har monious and satisfactory and speedy execution of the acts of Congress, nnd is alone sufficient to justify a change. I lis removal, therefore, cannot l)e re garded ns an effort ft) deftat the laws of Congress, for tho object,' is to facili tate their execution through an officer who has never failed to nltey tho law, and to exact without his jurisdiction n like obedience from others. It cannot 1)0 interpreted by the unreconstructed element of tho South, tlwso who did all they could to break up this govern ment by arms, and who wish to be the only clement consulted as to the meth od of restoring tinier, ns a triumph, for as intelligent men they must know that tho mere change of military com manders cannot alter the law, ami that General Thomas will bens much bound by its requirements as General Sheri dan'. It cannot embolden them to re newed opposition to iho will of the loyal masses, believing that they have Iho Executive with them, for they are perfectly fhinilliar with the antecedents of the President, and know that he has not obstructed the faithful execution of any act of Congress. o one, as you are aware, has a higher appreciation than myself of the services of General Thomas, and no one would be less in clined to assign him to a command not entirely to his wishes. Kmtwing him as I do I cannot think he will hesitate fir a moment to obey my order, having iu view a complete and speedy restoration of the Union, in the preser vation of which he has rendered such important and valuable service. Gen. Hancock, known lo the whole country as a gallant, able and patriotic soldier, will, I have no doubt, sustain Ins high reputation in any position to which he may be assigned. If, as you observe, ike department, which Im will leave is a complicated one, I fivl confident thai under the guidance and instructions of (icn. Sherman, ( icn. Sheridan will soon become familiar with its necessi ties, anil will avail himself of the op portunity afforded by tho Indian troubles for the display of the energy, enterprise and daring which gave him so eviablt: a reputation during the re cent civil struggle. In assuming that it is the expressed wish of the people that (Jen. Sheridan should not be removed from his pres ent command, you remark that this is a republic, based, however, upon a written constitution. That constitu tion is the combined and expressed will of the people, and their voice is law when reflected in the manner which that instrument prescribes. While one of its provisions makes the President Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, number requires he shall take care that the law bo faith fully executed. Believii g that a change in command in the Fifth Military District is absolutely necessary for a faithful execution of the law, I have issued the order, which is iho fcubjeet of this correspondence. I n thus exer cising a power that inheres iu the Ex ecutive under tho Constitution, as Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, I am discharging a duty requir ed of me by tho will of tho nation, as formal I v declared iu the supreme law of tho fund. Bv his oath the Execu tive in soleniiilv bound to the best of his ability, to preserve, protect ami defend the Constitution, and although in times of great excitement it be lost to public view, it is the duty without regard to consequences to himself, to hold sacred and enforce any and all of its provisions. Any other course would lead to the destruction of the Ilepult lie, for the Constitution once abolished, there would be no Congress for the exercise of legislative powers, no ex ecutive to see that the laws nre faith fully executed, no judiciary to afford to the citizens protection for life, limb and property. Usurpation would in evitably follow, and a despotism lie fixed on the people in violation of their combined and expressed will. In conclusion, I fail to perceive any military, pecuniary and patriotic rea sons why this order should not bo car ried into effect. You will remember that in tho first instance I did not con sider Gen. Sheridan the most suitable man for the command of tho Fifth Military District. Time litis strength ened my convictions njMin this point, and has led to tho conclusion that pa triotic considerations demand that he should be supereediil by an officer who, while lie. will faithfully execute the law, will at the same time give more general satisfaction to the whole people, white and black, Noith and South.

Lincoln, latst Wind ' III UrHlu." Why should the wind coming from the east over an ocean water, depress the human body, whilo that which comes from the west across a continent enlivens the spirits and gives courage and vigor? lie this as it may, it swms as if some piuple never felt any wind that was not east. They nre nf ways "out of sorts." The weather is always just w hat they don't want. I met one of these men awhile ago, a farmer, who raised all manner of crops. It was a wet day, and 1 said : "Mr. Xayling, this rain will be fine for your grass crop." "Yes, perhaps; but it is bud for the corn, and will keep it back. I don't believe we shall have a crop." A few days after this, when the sun was shining hot, I said : "Fine sun for your corn, sir." "Yes, pretty fair, but it's awful f ir tho rye. I'ye wants cold weather." Again, on n cold morning, I met my neighbor, anil said ; "This must be capital for your rye, Mr. Xayling." "Yes, but it is tho very worst weath er for the corn nnd grass. They want heat to bring them Ibrward." So the man lives in a perpetual east wind. Nothing suits him, and it would be impossible tor Providence to give him weather about which he would not grumble. I know one man who feels that our country is on the very brink of ruin, the Government u curse, and everything to be destroyed. ' And ho has felt and talked thus lor at least thirty years, and yet his property has been increasing iu value all this time, amid this gathering ruin. The fact is, the man lives in an unchanging east wind. And there is Mr. Slow, who lives in tho hollow under the long hill, he has been mourning for many years over the degeneracy of tho times, and always telling what wonderful lawyers and doctors, and ministers there were w hen ho was young ! Ho can sleep under any preaching he now hears, and the lawyers seem to be voting upstarts, or too old to practice. He longs for the good old tiniisi. Ah! Mr. Slow, docs your weather-vane ever point any where dtit to the cast? Rev. John 'DM, D. D. WrlltiiH Tor llio l'rri.

A counter movement has been commenced by the gamblers. On Saturday night the latter held a meeting, at which John C. lleenan was elected temporary chair man. One of the speakers used the following argument; "Tho business of pimbling is a legitimate one. A player pays his money and takes his choice, ns he does in the gold rooms; nnd so does the most respectable mer chant of the citv who buys Erie nt 09, expecting to sell nt 100. And they nre both gamblers. One watches tho turn of a card; the other waits for a rise in stock. He who gains in the latter case is no less a gambler than tho man who deals faro tor a livelihood." This is hard on Wall street. Faxxie Ferx.
