THE REMOVAL or STANTON
The removal of Stanton from the po
sition of Secretary of War {fives joy to
every man in flic* country. Why It
was that President Johnson so lon# per
mitted this bad anti traitorous-* man to
remain at the Ueud of the War Depart
ment, was a mystery to everybody. To
use the language of that sterling sheet,
the BellefoiUe Watchman, Stanton i* *
the very incarnation of the tierce ami
destructive revolution which has swept
the country. Ho. was always- in acU
vanceof Lincoln in ail radical measures;
from the very outbreak of the . war, he
went to the extreme limit of radicalism,
and labored to revolutionize the whole
government, North as well South.
While tens of thousands of Democrats
throughout the country still deluded
themselves with the idea that the war
was for the Union—immediately after
M’CJellan was defeated in front ofKidi
mond—Stanton plotted and accomplish
ed his ruin, because lie was not a proper
tool for the accomplishment of his ne
farious designs. One after another
every loader of our armies, whether
successful or not, who would not do his
will without protest, was disgraced and
removed. His whole course of action,
from the very first, clearly shows that
he was the only power at Washington
which had a fixed purpose and policy
in carrying on the war, and for the ac
complishment of that purpose every
thing else was made to hend. It be
came necessary, in his opinion, to sac
rifice the tens of thousands of .-mldicrs
confined in Confederate prisons, and tin*
sacrifice was made. Ills cold-blooded
and brutal policy in this regard, filled
everyNortherncommunity with mourn
ing for the brave true men, who went,
with confidence in their government, to
fight, as they supposed, for its preserva
tion. Edwin M. Stanton, mure than
all others, is responsible for the victims
. who perished in Southern prUon« for
the want of the food and clothing which
the South had not the power to supply
them with.
While the war lusted he opposed nil
measures which looked toward a peace
ful settlement of our dillienlties, and
since the South' is crushed, he has op
posed in every way, the restoration of
the Union and assisted to force upon
ton Southern Slates the blackest despo
tism in the world. He is deep in the
conspiracy of Sumner, Wade, Stevens
and others of their class for the utter
ruin of the South and tire Democracy of
the North, and has unscrupulously
wielded the power which his official po
sition save him to carry it on. Only
himself and the traitors with whom lie
plotted know wind plans have been
disconcerted by ins removal, but he lias
long since shown to the world that lie
will stop at nothing whieli may ho
necessary for ids success.
Since tiie difficulty between Congress
and the President occurred, lie has used
tiie power which his position gave him
for the basest purposes. He has be
trayed the most important cabinet mat
ters to the enemies of the. President,
and lias enabled them to anticipate
every movement of the government,
through a t corrupt and fanatical Con
gress. Ho lias conspired with Ashley,
liultor and other enemies of Johnson
for the latter’s ruin, and yet refused to
resign at ids request, and our only
wonder is that the President did not
long ago rid himself of this “old man
of the sea.”
Satrap Sheridan lias been removed
and transferred to the Department ol
Missouri. General Hancock goes from
that department to the Cumberland de
partment which Gen. G. 11. Thomas
vacates and the latter takes command
in place of Sheridan.
Prksihi;.vt Johnson,-in his late vet
message, declared that the Constitution
. is the supreme law of the land, North
* and South. If that he true answers
' Thaddeus Stevens, “ then all we have
done here is rank usurpation.” This
is the real point of the controversy.
Secretary of War Grant has sei
over thirty quartermasters away froi
Washington, where Stanton had kq
them hanging round—for political pu:
poses, no doubt.
A public man of 1867 who holds to
the principles avowed by Lincoln in
IdiO is denounced as a copperhead or
rebel sympathiser by the radicals.
THE JUDICIAL CONTEST.
When it was first proposed to make
the judiciary elective, the proposition
caused a very general popular shudder.
The idea that the most important safe
guard and depositary of public justice,
which includes public law and all that
it secures, was to he committed to the
passions of political parties, instead of
to the calm judgment of jurists, unbiass
ed an uninfluenced by the wild excite
ments of politics, alarmed the fears of
society. But the advocates of the mea
sure persuaded the people that the
judges, though elected by them, would
be true to their official obligations, and
the measure was carried. The elective
judiciary has worked very well thus far;
hut the Republican State Convention,
in their platform adopted at AVilliams
port, and the Central Executive Com
mittee of that party, in an address re
cently issued, make the following start
ling declaration: “Warned by past
)n iforfmes, we ask (hat the Supreme Court
of the State be placed in harmony with the
political opinions of the majority of the
people, to the end that the Court may never
again, by unjust decisions, seek to set aside
bars ribdto (henation.”
On this express enunciation of their
understanding of the duly of the Judi
ciary of the Commonwealth, they nomi
nate air. Helivy W. Williams as their
eamlidalc for the Supremo Court of
Pennsylvania, and as he has accepted
this nomination on that condition, we
conclude, of course that he freely assents
to the doctrine, that the Judiciary of
the State is to be only a mouth-piece of
the party that elects the judges, and
that the laws are to he interpreted and
administered only in conformity with
the whishes of ft mob, and not in con
formity with the will of the people, as
declared in the acts of their legislative
ln other words, the
will of a political organization, which
is temporarily in the majority, is to be
accepted by the Courts of the State as
the criterion of judicial decision, and
the plain, meaning of a statute pervert
ed, in order to correspond with the po
litical views of the party to whose voles
the judges owe their election, their po
sitions. ai d their salaries. This- is the
principle, boldly avowed in their plat
form, upon which the Republicans ask
the people of Pennsylvania to vote for
their candidate for the Supremo Court.
If Mr. Williams should be elected on
such a clearly-pronounced purpo.se to
subordinate the Judiciary of the State
to ihedictation of a political party, then,
indeed, will the independence and in
tegrity of the Courts of the Common
wealth he utterly destroyed, and the
property, lives, and reputations of the
people be completely deprived of all
legal protection. Will the people vote
to place themselves in so deplorable a'|
condition. I
TIIK’HI* lilt ATT TKI.Ui
We laid prepared a detailed account
of the proceedings connected with the
finding of the Jury in the Surratt trial,
for our last week’s paper, but the crowd
ed state of our columns prevented its
publication. On the Kith Inst., the
Jury came into court and said they
were unable to agree—they stood four
for conviction and eight for acquittal.
They wort', then discharged by the
court, and the prisoner was remanded
to prison for trial on the charge of con
spiracy. Previous to the adjournment
of the court, Judge-Fisher read an order
striking the mum 1 of Joseph 11. Bradley
from the roll of attorneys, in retaliating
for the personal altercation which oc
curred between him and the Judge,
during the progress of the trial. An
exciting scene ensued, Mr. Bradley fol-
lowing Judge Fisher to the street car,
and proenling a challenge in person.
A mooting of the Bar was subsequently
held, to remonstrate against the action
of Judge Fisher, and a committee was
appointed to investigate the facts. Mr.
Bradley was subsequently arrested,
under a law of the District against duel
ling, and wa* placed under bail for his
appearance at' court.
h-j’ That miserable humbug, satrap
Pope, the vain fool who, during tiie war,
issued a bombastic, address to tiie troops
who unfortunately for Ihcm were under
ills command from liis “ headquarters
in tiie saddle,” and who turned ids back
to tiie enemy on their first appearance,
leaving Ids men behind him to be cut
to pieces—tins creature lias written a
letter to Secretary of War, Grant, in
which he attempts to eclipse satraps
.Sheridan and Sickles in brutality. He
recommends that all Southern men who
refuse to accept die Kadical-uegro pro
gramme lie banished from die country,
and their property confiscated? He
says some of them mVf talk against Con
gress, and lie suggests that they be
“ punished” forsueh"disloyalty.” This
is the frce-speech and free-press about
which we have heard so much. Good
Ciod ! Is a man to he denied die rigid to
vole, lo exercise political rights, to hold
property—almost the right to live—and
yet lie debarred the poor privilege of
dis hissing the legality and justness of
die acts under which ho is oppressed?
Oil, John Pope, your headquarters are
ton high in the saddle fora republican
government. Go to Turkey or Hayti.

INTERESTING READING.
The readers of prominent Radical
journals must be highly edified with tho
matter they contain. Wc picked up a
New York Tribune a few days since. It
contairad nineteen columns of reading
xtcon of .them being devoted
tone'icesand pnfsof the “com ingmaß.”
Mass Meeting of ITeedinen,”
“Monster Colored Pic Nie,” “Letter
from an intelligent freednnm on the
next Presidential campaign,” “ Reports
from officers of the Freedmans Bureau,”
“ Marriageofapromiuont colored man,”
“ Schools for tho Freedmen,” “ Tho col
ored men must have the ballot,” “Well
done, colored men of Tennessee,”
These are the headings of the articles
that graced sixteen columns of tho 7ri~
butte. Other Jacobin papers—the Press,
Inquirer, JVorth American, tfcc—all fol
low the lead of the Tribune , and fill their
columns dally with the disgusting
details of negro carousals. A stranger
in our country, to read these papers,
would be led to believe* that ours was
a negro government, and that white
men were no where, or at best at a ter
rible discount.
We have glanced over some of the
proceedings—the speeches and resolu
tions—read and delivered at these ne
gro picnics ami conventions., That they
wore made to order by white men is as
certain as certain can be. In their pub
lished speeches and resolves these im
pudent negroes are made to abuse every
body without stint who fails to come up
to the full Stevens and Sumner standard.
The Presidontand his eabinetarc spoken
of as “ traitors,” and “ copperheads” is
the designation for all Democrats.
Now, we believe every man of sense
will agree with us when we say that
the white scoundrels who arc urging
the negroes into this position arc com
mitting a fatal error, for which the ne
groes will lie the sufferers. The very
fact that the blacks are arraying them
selves* solid with the disunionists and
thieves of the country, will create a
strong feeling against them. The men
who made this country and shaped its
destiny, will not permit impudent ne
groes to speak of them as “traitors”
and “ copperheads,” nor will they re
cogn Ue their insoluntdeinand for “ equa
lity.” Let these negroes—these tools
of white miscreants—beware ! Should,
another war be the result of the present
agitation, the white cowards who are
now urging the negroes on to deeds of
violence and impudence, will not be
found at their sides. No, no ; they will
then retire from the strife, and the ne
groes will have their own battle to tight.
If the negroes are wise they will attend
to their wor.c and let polities alone. It
is not to their interest that another in
testine war should be hatched, for a
war of races will he death to the negro.
VIIOI.MIOMSTN,
Tim word “Abolitionist” is derived
from the transitive verb which
Webster defines as follows: “Abolish—
1. To make void ; toannul; to abrogate;
applied chiefly and appropriately to es
tablished rites, customs,
and institutions. 2. To destroy.” N*.,w
let us see what our Abolitionists have
abulinhed, destroyed, annulled and made
void:
They have abolished liberty
They have abolished the Union,
They have abolished the Constilu-
They have abolished trial by jury
They have abolished the laws and the
courts.
They have abolished ten Stoics.
They have abolished a Republican
form of government.
They have abolished tiie peace and
fraternity of die country.
They have abolished nil respect for a
written Constitution.
They have abolished the sacredness
of die church.
They have abolished the freedom of
speech.
They have abolished die freedom of
the press.
They have abolished the freedom ol
opinion.
They have abolished all that the late
war was waged for.
They have abolished all that our fore
fathers fought for.
They have abolished gold and silver.
They have abolished equal rights to
all.
They have abolished equal taxation.
They have abolished economy and
honesty in the administration of the
government.
They have abolished low prices, cheap
living, good times and the general pros
perity.
They have abolished tiie cotton crop,
and the millions of gold resulting from
our exports.
They have abolished a million of
lives.
They have abolished from three to
six' thousand millions of treasure.
They have abolished our southern

that of “ Abolitionists?”
At a Democratic meeting in Wavorly,
()li io,a fe w day s ago, Judge Hcm pstead,
heretofore a prominent Radical gave Iris
adherence to the Democratic party and
was made president of the meeting.—
Judge Thurman, the Democratic candi
date for Governor, made a telling speech
upon the occasion. The prospect seems
very good in that very dark State for
tire white man’s party.
It is said that, since Stanton’s remo
val, a great change lias come over the
subordinates in the War Ollice. Arro
gance is laid aside, and civil answers
can lie had to civil questions—a thing
that could not be had when the tyrant
Stanton ruled.
An old lady in Knox county, Temv
osseo, on reading Governor Brownlow’s
bulletin stating his health to be in a fa
vorable condition, burst out with
11 Well folks, I tell you what it is, if
Brownlow don’t die soon, he’ll go to
hell alive.”
HOLT, ASIII.EV, ASD COJiOTEIt.
’ There is one despicable c reature whom
the President should lose no tinio ih dis
missing from all direct conn action with
the Executive administration of
ernment, and that creature is Holt. 'We
knew no person in all our experience
who lias more completely realized our
idea of a political prostitute and malig-
nant knave. As Chief of the. Bureau of
Military Justice, he has signalized his
official career by a'degreo of cruelty and
malice which might qualify him for a
high place in hell, but should qutle un-,
fit him for any employment in thoiser
vice of a Christian government. There
can be no doubt that ho kept from the
President until it was too late to bo of
auy avail, the paper in which the Mili
tary Commission that tried Mrs. Surratt
recommended her to the mercy of the
Executive, and he, accordingly, is most
responsible for the murder of that poor,
persecuted, and, as wo believe, innocent
woman. Not content with having com
mitted that atrocious wrong, he labored
hard to consign young John Surratt to
the same dishonored grave in which he
had already buried, his mother, and
nothing but the force of irresistible evi
dence, and the incorruptible integrity'
of an honest jury saved that unhappy
youth from the cunning diabolism of
Judge Holt.
But while pursuing victims of less
importance, Holt was conspiring with
congenial spirits like Ashley, Butler
and Conover, to make up a case on
which to impeach and depose President
Johnson, and the proof' of his guilt in
liis nefarious business is furnished by
the statement of Conover and corrobo
rated by autographic letters of Holt and
Ashley accompanying that statement.
A more revolting revelation of private
and official rascality never, M r e dare say,
was made public, and the whole civil
ized world will-doubtless be amazed to
learn, that a Representative ‘ln the
American Congress and the Chief of an
important Bureau of our Government,
were * confederating with a convicted
perjurer to procure, by subornation,
evdience on which to impeach and con
vict the Chief Magistrate of this nation
of high crimes and misdemeanors, and
eject him from his office. It is really
hard to believe that anything-in human
shape could possibly engage in so vile a
plot; but the proof against Holt and
Ashley is too positive to be discredited.
Their accomplice, Conover, who has
“ poached” upon them, is certainly not
worthy of credence, standing alone; but
when his confession is confirmed by the
correspondence with himself of Holt
and Ashley, whose letters he produces,
and whose manuscripts are identified,
there can be no room for doubt.
What, then, should be done with Holt
and Ashley? ‘ Removal from the offices
they have disgraced, should, of course,
be resolved on. But that would not be
enough. Nor would trial, conviction
and punishment for subordination of
perjury, meet the measure of their guilt.
We would like to see them both hanged'
on the gibbet from which they would
have suspended young Surratt, and as
that is not legally- possible, we would
advise them to blow but their own
brains, as the bast practicable atone
ment they can make to the outraged
laws and honor of their country. So
says the Sunday Mercury,
UNMASKING,
“ It will secure three thousand votes in
Connecticut and fifteen thousand in Penn
sylvania." So said Sumner in Con
gress when his bill giving votes to ne
groes was up for consideration. “ If,”
says Sumner, “ Congress could confer
suffrage upon the blacks in the rebel
States, it certainly could do the same
with regard to the other States. ” The
if here gives all the trouble; Congress
has no constitutional right to do any
sucli thing; we told onr readers long
ago, that the pretext of giving the ne
groes in the South the right of' suffrage
to punish the rebels, was a mere subter
fuge, and before long that act would he
construed to give authority for similar
legislation in regard to us. The radi
cal papers here pooh-pood any such
thing—but here it comes ; and with it
the bold reason—that ,by doing so, the
radicals will gain fifteen thousand votes
in Pennsylvania.
Now wo hope the Democratic party,
throughout, the State, will note this
thing and be prepared to meet it. Con
gress lias no more right to say who
shall and who shall not vote in Penn
sylvania than the Cham of Tartary.
Gen. Grant is no longer available as
the Eadical candidate for the Presiden
cy, and the N. Y. Tribune and a dozen
other black and tan organs have opened
their little paper broadsides full upon
him.
Satrap Sheridan has ordered an elec
tion .to be held on the 27th and 28th of
September, and designated ninety-eight
as the number of delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention. What a power
for one man to wield—and such a man!
n r
Judge Sharswood has been compli
mented by every Radical organ of
standing in the State, as being a man of
great ability, thorough patriotism,
strict integrity, and in every way quali
fied for the position for which he has
been nominated.
* ■
Tuaddeus Stevens declared in the
Rump House that 1 * thefragments of the
old shattered Constitution stuck in the
kidneys of some Senators and troubled
them at nights.” *
There is an inquiry among the sub
scribers to the Lincoln Monument Fund
in New York as to where the money has
gone.
Satrap Sheridan has ordered that
one-half of the Louisiana electioh Com
missioners shall be niggers;
The Reason Why NEGitq Suffrage
is to be Passed.— Mack, tho Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Cbm;
mercial, writes: . i ,
“ Sumner says he has positive assurance
dr voters enough to pass his universal suf
frage bill next winter. .He says it must
be passed before the Presidential election,
to seenre the negro vote of Pennsylvania,
New York and Connecticut, otherwise
these States will go Democratic.”
So, the reason why negro suffrage is to
be forced upon the country, is to prevent
these States from going Democratic and
to retain the radical party in power. This
is a frank confession, and shows the mo
tive of tlie radical leaders. It is not the
negro, but themselves, they are trying to
take care of. Well that is just what we
have been thinking for Some time. It is
to keep power that they may rob and tax
the labor of the country,

. New York, Aug., 8,1887.
I thank -you for your miniy announce
ment in this morning's Hcrakl U\tnc
m licle beaded “ The New Crisis.”
views in that article are so wholesome
tliat I cauuot leave the city this morn
ing. being transiently here, without ex
pressing' my gratitude. 'I assure you,
Sir, that the present attempt of party
leaders to secure political power by malt
ing the Southern States negro States Is
most alarming, and the people of the
North must not allow its success, if they
value their own freedom and prosperity.
If the people stop to think, they will
spurn such an attempt with indignation ;
nothing but false Issues can possibly al
low such a ruinous project to succeed. To
cheat the people, the advocates of this
nefarious scheme will be kept before
them the Idea of martyrdom and all that
sort of thing; but the true issue should
be ever present to our minds, and martyrs
rewarded at‘the less expense than the
overthrow of our institutions. Now, sir,
I h&vo done my humble part in the late
war for the Union. Two of my sous have
fallen under the Union flag, and my part
has been in contributions, and not in the
reception of a penny’s profit,during the
strife. But never have I wished any
thing but a restored Union. For this,
and This alone, I have sacrificed,-and not
for theeievation of the negro nor the dis
franchisement of the people of the South
ern States. If the people of tho South
have not been ‘ restored to the Union by
our arms, then tho war was a failure—a
monstrous fraud. The idea that the
South must be Africanized before its
States are allowed to return is an admis
sion that the war has been a wicked fail
ure, and lias been waged for the destruc
tion of tho republic. It is not a debata
ble question. We did not send our sons
to dio for the erection of negro States in
the South. I appeal to the great masses
in the North, wuo generously poured ,out
their blood aud treasure in the conflict,
if tliis was their object. Mr. Editor, you
have hit a tender chord in your remarks
this morning, and will, I know, awaken
tho Bleeping sense of the people. I have
purchased a plantation In Alabama and
contemplate removal there, and am en
couraging others in the North to filiow
me; but if that State is to bo a negro
State, farewell to my purchase. The rea
sons are obvious. Fanatics may not See
them, but men of common sense can.
I thank you, again, from my heart.

A Child if ItU Two Heads mid Four Arms.
On Tuesday of this week we witnessed
with our own eyes, and not another’s,
one of the-most remarkable objects that
ever breathed the breath of Heaven —the
body of a child with two perfect heads
and four complete, and well formed arms.
The lower limbs are natural, and also the
extreme lower, part of the body. Just
above the hips the body begins to increase
in. size, the back bone branching opt to
right and left and diverging sufficiently
to give room for two shoulder blades be
tween them, in their proper position, the
distinct two forms beginning their sepa
rate existence just below the arm pits.
In front, the body below the naval ap
pears natural. Above that point it grad
ually branches out into two separate or
ganizatwns, the breast bones being joined.'
The organs are all double. • The
shoulders and necks are all perfect, and
the heads are well formed. The features
iare regular and well developed, one head
appearing to be that of a male, while the
features of the other resemble those of a
female. The genitals of the male are per*
feet; Altogether, this is a wonderful
specimen of genus of man. Like the Sia
mese twins the two faces are naturally
inclined towards each other, the back of
the body being broader than the front
part. The inside arms are in such a po
sition as to naturally twine around the
little necks, each of its ‘fellow-, giving a
pleasing effect. The weight of tbe body,
after being somewhat reduced by the pro
cess of embalming, was eight pounds.
■ The child was borne in this’ village, on
Sunday, the 14th inst, Drs. S. A. Mac
donald and Alex. McLean, being in at
tendance. One side lived a-few minutes
after being ushered into this strange
world, and then died, While the other did
not breathe.
One Hundred Mon Hurled Alive.
The columns of the German paperaare
filled with the particulars of the greatest
disaster that ever desolated auy mining
district. On the Istof July ult. the wood
en framework of a thousand five hundred
feet deep pit of a coal mine, in the neigh
borhood of Lugua, in Saxony, gave way,
blocking up with an impenetrable mass
of timber and rock the pit at a depth of
about three bundred ells from the top.—
At the moment of the disaster one hun
dred and two men, nearly all of them the
supporters of large families, were work
ing at the bottom of the mine. Their
provisions were only calculated for one
day. On the 6th of July, the date of our
latest news by mail, the place where the
fallen masses had stopped the pit was of
such a solid structure that the water was
standing on it many feet high. From all
sides the moat available help was offered,
but the conviction that nothing could bo
done soon enough to save theunfortunate
miners, weakened, as it seems, any ener
getic efforts. They were doomed to die of
starvation and want of fresh air. On the
4th of July all attempts to reach the bot
tom of the mine by any quick process
were abandoned, and a alow butsureplan
was devised, by which, at least, the corpse
of the perished could be extracted, Iron
tubes of about two feet in diameter were
to be sunk through the obstruction down
to the bottom of the pit. Among the
dead are forty-four married men, one of
whom had a wife and nine living chil
dren. The scenes at the entrance of the
pit are described as lamentable without
parallel. One hundred and thirty-seven
children filled the air with their woeful
cries, whilst the superintendent of the
mine, to whose negligence. the disaster
was ascribed by the people, could only be
saved from being mobbed by his sudden
imprisonment.

A correspondent of the Rochester
Union and Advertiser,: writing from So
das Point, N. Y., August 7, tells the fol
lowing :,
“ Considerable excitement prevails here
at the discovery of a veritable sea-serpent
just outside the piers at the harbor en
trance. Some men employed on the
public works saw the monster some days
ago and reported .it, but it was thought
they were mistaken. Others saw it af
terward; and yesterday four or five men
in a boat came full upon it, riding the
crest of the wave, Its head elevated; they
say, several feet above the water, and its
huge form entirely visible near the sur
face. They described it as about thirty
feet long and as largo around as a man’s
body, resembling, as it lay'on the water,
the ‘.Liberty pole/ which is of those di
mensions. As they rowed after the crea
ture iht head deseuded into the water,
and it glided near the surface for some
time, affording them a good view till,
alarmed at their, approach, it plunged
down, disappearing m the depths, Efr
forts will be made to capture it alive fi#
exhibition, but there aeeiris not. much
chance of its being secured by a hook,
and a net could hardly go deep enough.
There can be no doubt now, however, of
the existence of such prodigious serpents
in the Jake.”
The Baltimore Sim thus disposes of the
Tennessee “ election,” so-called:
' “ Four fifths of the white voters of Ten

black men have taken their places. .

To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Wash

War Department, Washington City,
Aug. 12, 1807.—Sir, your note of tliij) date
has been received, informing me that by
virtue of the power and authority vested
in you as President, liy the Constitution
and laws of the United States, I am sus
pended from office as Secretary of War,
ami will cease to exercise any and all
functions pertaining to the same, and al
so directing mo at once to transfer to Gen
eral U. S. Grant, who has this day been
authorized and empowered to net as Sec
retary of War, ad interim, all records,
books, papers and other public property
now in my custody and charge.
Under a sense of public duty I am com
pelled to deny your right, under tho Con
stitution and laws of the United States,
without the advice and couseut of the
Senate and without legal cause to suspend
mo from office ns Secretary of War or the
exercise of any or all functioiispertaining
to tlie same, without such advice or con
sent to compel me to transfer to any per
son the records, books, papers aud other
public property in my custody as Secreta
ry of War.
But inasmuch iis the General comman
ding the armies of the United States, has
been appointed Secretary of War, ad in
terim, and has notified mo tliatbe has ac
cepted the appointment, I have no alter
native but to submit under protest to su
perior force.
Very respectfully, yours,
E. M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
To the President.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C., Aug. 12, 1867.—Sir: —The lion. Ed
win M. Stanton having been this day
suspended as Secretary of War, you are
hereby authorized and empowered to act
us Secretary of War, ad interim , and will
at once enter upon the discbaige of the
duties of that office. The Secretary of
War has been instructed to transler to
you all records, books, papers aud other
public property now in his custody and
charge.
Very respectfully, yours,
Andrew Johnson.
Gen. U. S. Grant, Washington, D. C.
The reply.of Mr. Stanton was received
about one o’clock, and General Grantcall
ed meantime and, conferred with Mr.
Johnson, and then with Mr. Stanton,
and took formal possession of the War
.Department. Mr. Stanton remained in
the building during the day, quietly trans
acting business. There was no excite
ment apparent in the Department, for
very few.therein knew what had trans
pired.
Upon the streets, however, when tbe
matter became known, the interest evinc
ed by all parties about this important
event rose to excitement. It is not. true
that the President has telegraphed Gen
eral Steadman to come here to take the
position'of Secretary of War, nor has ho
selected a successor to Mr. Stanton \ but
it is quite likely he may tender the posi
tion to a distinguished Now England ex-
Governor.
A HAN ATTACKED BY A lAON.
A'Performance Not in the Bills.
Last night, during the performance of
Merssrs, Thayer & Noyes’ great circus
aud collection of wild animals, a fright
ful accident occurred.
At the termination of the circus a den
containing four lions was dragged into
the ring. Mr. Chaa. White was then in
troduced and fearlessly entered the cage
and commenced performing with these
brutes.
The performance consists of the lions
jumping through hoops and over barri
ers, and concluded with Mr. White feed
ing the animals with raw meat out of his
hands.
The performance wenflemoothly along
for several minutes, when it was observed
that one of the lions, a vicious looking
fellow, seemed lotli to do his part, and
White commenced punishing him with
his whip.
This so enraged the beast that be sprang
upon Mr. White, felling him to the floor
of the cage, and setting his jaws into bis
body, as though he intended to eat the
fellow up. It was very soon noticed that
a part of the programme was being enac
ted not advertised in the bills. The can
vass was filled to ils utmost, many ladies
being present.
Then commenced a scene which baffles
description. The roaring of the lions,
and the screaming women was more than
the stoutest heartcould stand. Men who
braved the clanger of the battlefield and
saw death in its every form turned pale
and trembled. In a few seconils.it was
noticed that Nero, a noble Hon, rushed
forward to the rescue of his keeper, and
in the meantime Messrs. Thayer & Noyes
with a few of their attaches, rushed to
the cage armed with bars of , iron, axes
and everything that was conveniently
near and commenced beating the brute
from off his kdeper. In this they soon
succeeded, aud Mr. White was taken
bleeding from the lion’s den, and carried
to the National Hotel, where he now lies
in a very critical situation. Dr. White
beck was called in to dress Mr. White’s
wounds. His right shoulder is most
horribly mangled by the sharp teeth and
ponderous jaws of the excited and furious
beast.— Rochester Union.
A Laßge crowd of negroes, the other

They said they had beeu'so informed by
an officer of the Government, who had
charged them each twenty-five cents for
The crowd was with dif

trains during the day were similarly way
laied. Northern Radical scamps who
thus impose upon the ignorant darkies
should be arrested and severely punished.
