so as lo keep him stirred up like. lie

The papers give us plenty of funny
.lories as to jhc lack of intelligence in
the black jurors and voters ol'lhe
South. 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."

Ijopez was stopping at a hotel in

from her presence. Early one day a
Mexican arrived, and familiarized him
self with a hostler in a livery stable
adjoining the hotel. General' Miguel
Lopez was inquired for, but not ltcing
in, the stranger was told that the Gen

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

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

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. It, will
embolden to renewed opposition o the
will of the loyal masses, believing that
tley KlV(, (. FiXccnlive with them.
The services ol'Geu. Thomas in
Ir'tlling fi r the I'nion entitle him to
some i ousi, Icral ion. 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. It bears upon the subject
of this removal, and I had hoped
would have prevented it. I have the
honor In be, with great respect, your
oliciiienf servant.

Kxi.i t "i ivt: Mansion',
Washington Aug. ID, 'G7. 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

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. I am, General,

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,

ThE Gambler's Argument. It
is well known that a society has been
formed in New York for the "Sup
pression of Gambling." 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. Fannie Fern
thinks it ought to lie considered a dis
grace to be sick, confidentially adding:
"lam fifty-five, nnd I feel half the
time ns if I was born in Maine, where
the timber nnd the human nice last;
but I don't eat pastry, nor candy nor
ice cream. 1 don't drink tea bah ! I
walk, not ride. I own stout boofs
pretly ones too. I have a water
proof clonk, and no diamonds, 1 like
a nice bit of beefsteak and a glass of
ale, and any body else who wants it
may eat pap. I go to bed at 10 and
get up at (i. I dash out in the rain,
because it (eels good on my face. 1
don't care for my clothes, but I will
bo well ; and idler 1 nm buried, 1
warn you, don't let any fresh air or
sunlight down on my eollin, if you
don't want me to get up."
Historical. We sec by nn ex
change that the first grist mill built iu
thisctttalc was thai now called Robert's,
one inilo northeast of Gonnautown.
It was erected in 1683, by Richard
Townsend, a Friend, who brought the
chief materials from England. Some
years allerwatds, iu his printed address
to Friends, ho slates that. his was the
only mill for grain in ull the parts,
anil was of great use to (he inhabi
tants. They brought their grists on
men's backs save one man, who had a
fame bull who performed the labor.
Five Cents a dav spent for segars,
tobacco or lager, mate eighteen dollars
and twenty-five cents a year enough
to pay for a share, in I ho Mercantile
Library, and lbr the Atlantic Monthly
and Harper's Magazine in the bar
gain. How many smokers, chewors
and lager drinkers think of this?
Not one in a thousand. Not one in a
thousand spends less than three times
live cents daily, arid not one in a
thousand owns a share iu a library, or
is a subscriber (o a good magazine.
No wonder (he school master is so
frequently abroad.
(ii-riTixa Married. A loafer,
who had been noisy, was up before
the Mayor's coul. llis honor told him
to pay over five dollars fi tr his fine.
"C-c-e-oan't do it," muttered 'he;
a-in't got the p-p-tewter."
"Are you a married man ?" inquir
ed the Mayor.
"N-n-n-not exactly so f-f-far gone
yet, sir."
"Well, I will have to send you to
the work-house."
"T-t-t-tain't nuthin to g-g-go
there," said Aliek; "b-b-but when you
t-t-talked about m-m-ninrringc, old
fellow, you f-f-frhhtencd me."
Falsehood is on all accounts inex
cusable, and can never proceed but
front some bad principle, or a total
contempt of virtue and honor. The
difficulties it runs one into are not to
bo numbered. One lie requires ten
others to support it, and the failure of
probability in one ol them rums all.
In iiiet it is a very dillioult thing to
tell a straight lie.
The serious charge brought by the
Democratic press against Judge Y ll
liams that he is not a native of the
Slate, suggests the case of the eloquent
S. S. Prentiss, ol Mississippi. Iu Ins
warm contest for Congress in that
State, his opponent stated that the
people of Mississippi were under ob
ligations to yotu tor him because he
was a native of Mississippi, while
Prentiss was not. In reply to this,
Prentiss said the fiiet stated by his op
ponent placet I them umler greater ob
ligations to him than to his opponent,
for, said he, "after arriving at maturity
I voluntarily came to this State, while
my opjKment came under circumstances
over which he had no control."
"Why don't you wheel that barrow
of coals, Ned?" said a learned miner
to one of his sons. "It is not a very
Ijard job; there is an inclined plana to
relieve you." "Ah," replied Ned, who
hail more relish for wit than work,
"the jtlano may be inclined, but hang
me it ! am."
Frantic. A young man recently
wrote to his sweetheart, saying. "There
is not a globule of blood in my heart
which tloes not bear your photograph."
He had it very bad, hadn t he?
