PASSAGE OF THE
mix.”
Mr. Schenk's so-called Public Credit
Bill passed the United States House of
Representatives on Friday last—yeas
97, all Republicans but two; nays 18,
thirty-three of whom were Democrats,
and fifteen were Republicans. The fol
lowing are the provisions of the oil!:
J}e it enacted, &c. That in enter to re
move any doubt as to the purpose of the
government to discharge all just obliga
tions to tbe public creditors, and to set
tle conflicting questions and interpreta
tions ofthe laws, by virtue of which such
ob 1 ations have bean contracted,lt is here
by provided and declared that the lallli
ot the United Slates is a--deninly pledged
to the payment in coin, or its equivalent,
of al! the interest-bearing obligations of
tbe United States, except in ease where
tbe law authorizing tbe issue of any such
obligations has expressly provided that
tbe same may be paid in lawful money,
or other currency than gold or silver;
but none of said interest bearing obliga
tions not already due shall be redeemed or
paid before maturity, unless at such time
United States notes shall lie convertible
into coin al the option ol the bolder, or,
unless at such time bonds of the United
States bearing a lower rate than tbe bonds
to be redeemed can be sold at par in coin ;
and the United States shall also solemn
ly pledge its faith to make a provision al
the earliest practical period for the re
demption of United States notes in com.
Pending its passage a number of
speeches were made for, and against tiie
bill. The Democratic members did not
hesitate to speak in decided opposition
to it. They considered it an attempt to
prop up rich creditors of tii'q, govern
ment, at tbe expense of the taxpayer.
••To pay off the public creditors in coin,
■ will,” they said, “ sooner or later bank
rupt the Treasury and ruin the country.
If green-hacks and National Bank notes
are good enougli for the people, they
should be good enough for the public
creditor.”
Beyond questien, it is wrong to have
two kinds of currency for our people—
gold for the public creditor, and depreci
ated paper for the masses. And yet this
Schenk bill recognizes this very prin
cjple. A number of the Radical mem
bers, we are pleased to notice, spoke
very decidedly against the bill, and fif
teen of them voted against it. Butler
regarded it “ a stab at the tax-payer, and
he was sure the hill did not strengthen
the public credit,” Ac. Two Democrats
voted for the bill. They arc “ public
creditors,” and hence their singulai
course. By the way- we notice that our
member, Mr Haldeman, dodged the
vote; he refused to vote one way or the
other. Had Mr. Dlosbrenner still been
in the seat now occupied by Mr. HaUle
man, a stentorian “ no" would have
been the response when the vote was
taken on theSchenck bill.
X. B.—The ,-chenck hill as it passed
the House, was called up in the Senate
on Monday.
Mr. Carpenter ; Republican) and Mr.
Bay°rd, iDem.i spoke in opposition to
the bill.
Mr. Carpenter . pin-ed it because he
wu* unwilling to rt.MiiJl that there were

VIRGINIA ARRAIGN IN’ All*
MY OFFlCr.il
From the proceedings ol ihe Vniteh
States Senate on Wednesday of lasl
week we extract the following :
Mr. Sumner pre eni**d i ; ’- p»*t itions <>•
the Republican Stau-(‘onn«-ii oi Virgin! .
repi esenling Unit ibe com mand nm • •ttitr*-1
In Virginia lines not pus pioper are. Him
to Ihcapplicunoii ol colored men for office
and asking that they have their due shun
ol lheStateoffie.es. Kelerred to LheJudi
clary Committee.
Now the question is, who is this offi
cer who fails to 44 pas proper attention
to the application of colored men foj
office?" -Let him be dragged from hi.-
hiding place, and the same punishment
inflicted upon him that was ordered for
the heroic Hancock—b nbluncnt to Da
kotnh. The 4 ‘ colored men" of Virginia
must have office, without regard to their
qualifications, and the officer who fails
to see in the ignarant uneducated negro
the “coming man,” is either very stu
pid or very disloyal, or possibly both.—
Grant and Congress will attend to him !
Seriously, is it not more than
human nature can bear to see the Uni
ted StatesSenute Occupy its time in giv T
ing eurtotheimportunities of impudent
negroes who clamor for office? How
white men would be laughed at andrid
iculed if they should dare to arraign an
officer of thearmy because he refused to
foi«t them into office?. And yet the
United >tatesSenate gives serious atten
tion to these Viiglnla niggers, and with
a mock dignity refers their petition to
the Judiciary Committee. We suppose
the business of the committee will be to
ascertain how far the offending officer
has violated the u reconstruction laws,”
and to name the punishment he ha
made himself liable to. What next?
‘•JIT CABINET.”
Grant has changed tin programme
again—“ my Cabinet” has again been
remodelled. It is now composed of the
following planksof timber;
.Secretory of State— Hamilton Fish, of
New York.
Secretary of the Treasury—Ex-Oav-
Itontwell, of Masrasbosetts.
Attorney General —E. It. Hoa l -, of Mas
sachusetts.
Secretary of IfVo—Gen. Rawlins.
J’ott Matter Otneral— J. A. J. Cries
well, of Maryland.
Secretary 6j the Interior —J. B. Cox, o
Ohio.
When prepayment of correspondence
by “tamp was made obligatory, a letter
parsed through an office in the interior
of this State, on which was written,
“paid, if the darned tiling sticks.” To
day “ my Cabinet” is all right “ if the
darned thing sticks.” The Radicals
will be convinced before long that they
committednn egregious error when they
placed a wooden man in the executive
chair:
The motto of Simon Suggs was, “first
myself, second my friends, and third
and lastly my kintry." History repeats
itself at the White Hotu*.
nnmiv manhaciil'Hetts,
Massachusetts has swjured two mem
bers in the Grunt Cabinet—Boutwell as
Secretary •of the Treasury, and Hoar as
Attorney General. Truly Massachusetts
has received *• the lion’s share.” That
State one of the least deserving in the
Union, actually rules tho country at this
time. With a decided Radical delega
tion in Congress, backed by the carpet
bag “Southern members,” so-called,
nearly every man of whom belongs to
Massachusetts, the power of this Yankee
State is overshadowing. She gobbles
up more appropriations and receives
mote political patronage than half the
other States of the Union combined. It
*vas “ cute” in Massachusetts to send her
scallawags down South to be returned
to Washington as members of Congress.
It gives Massachusetts just so many
more votes in the Senate and House ol
Representatives. This was a Yankee
trick, and was i.n a par with the tricks
she practiced during the war, when she
filled her quotas of men with foreigners
and negroes from other States. Massa
chusetts had literally ho men in the war.
The Lincoln administration permitted
her “ earnest men” to plunder the Trea
sury at pleasure, and with this stolen
money they bought up men at so much
a head, and ihnsfilled upher regiments.
Notwithstanding Masachusetts men
clapped their hands witlvjoy when the
war broke out, they had no heart for the
fighting part of the business, but resort
ed lo emigrant ships and negroes of oth
er States, and put them in to the credit
of Masssachusetts. And yet this State,
always cowardly, treaeherousandgrasp
ing, demands and obtains two members
in the Grant administration. How the
other larger and more important States
that have received no Cabinet appoint
ment are to be reconciled to this unfair
ness and partiality, we neither know
nor care. Certain it is, however, Massa-
c husetti, aided by Southern negroes,
now governs this country. God help us !
So pager was the U. S. Senate to con
firm Grant's Cabinet that they did not
take time to inquire whether they were
eligible or not to the positions which
they were appointed. After their hasty
confinna’ion the newspapers showed
th «t Stewart was ineligible because, lit
V vas an importer. Grant recommended
the suspension of the law for his benefit
hut the coolness with which Grant
parsed by “ representative men” of the
party, also cooled the ardor of the Sen
ate for their new President, and they
postponed the matter for future consid
eration. In the interval Grant with
drew his recommendation and Stewal
resigned.
The Kansas Legislature has ratified
ic suffrage. Amendment of Congress.—
Only a year ago the people of Kansas
took a vote on the negro suffrage ques
tion. a*«d voted if down. And now the
Legislature of the State, compos'd of
politicians and party slaves, deliber
ately. yet with most indecent haste, re
verses and tramples upon the honest
judgment of the people, and gives what
will be claimed as the legal assentof the
State to a system of suffrage that is odi
on- and hateiul to the people. Such ia
the tyranny of the Radical leaders.
Gen. Guant assumes notonly to rec
ommend to Congress, but to the States
also, what they shall do. He recom
mends to the Legislatures of the differ
ent Males the adoption of A NEGRO
VOTING AMENDMENT to the Con
st.tution of the United States. We had
better abolish the office of Governor, lor
we no longer have any use for such an
othcoMnce Grunt has assumed the su
premo Dictatorship.
T^*k Chicago Convention, in its plat
orm, affirmed the right of the loyal
-tale?' to regulate the elective franchis
or themselves, and President Grant en
torsed this platform ; yet he now g »e>
n for taking away from the people ol
.hp Suites this very right which he s..
recently endorsed. Can audacity and
treachery go lurther?
LONGSTiIKKI GETS AM OFFICE!
The ex-rebel, General Longstreet, who
Uee’s right hand officer at the battle
o r Gettysburg, has been appointed Sur
veyor of Customs at New Orients by
President Grant. For tun.ing his polft
ical coat and recognizing (he negro «-
his “brother,” this distinguished rebel
general has receivedjiis reward.
AGrkat Man* Hath Fat.lkn.—The
FTon/james Guthrie, late United Sta’es
Senator from Kentucky, died athisresi
dencein Saturday la«t, aged
70. He was a great and good man. and
versally beloved. Our distinguished
staiesmen are fast disappearing from
eirth, and pigmies are taking their
places.
Who lied, last fall, when It was as
serted by the Democrats and denied by
the Republicans, that if Grant were
elected. Negro suffrage would he forced
upon the people without their consent?
Grant’s Inaugnral proves that the Dem
ocrats told the truth. Now, where is
the honest Republican who can longer
act with that dishonest and deceitful
party ?
There has been a riot near Hampton,
Va.. in which the ncgio “squatters” re
sisted the Radical sheriff and a guard of
United States soldiers. The “ colored
troops fought nobly” until the arrival
of an entire company of soldiers, when
they inglorionsly made use of their In
dia rubber heels, and their shanty was
torn down by the troops. Model citi
zens, these dark=!
Grant's Inaugural recommends (he
repeal of the Constitution of Pennsyl
vania which provides that only whi'e
men shall exercise the right of suffrage.
And this repeal is not to he made by the
people, but by the present miserable,
rotten Legislature, elected without ref
erence to any such question.
“Onward to Washington” is the
rallying cry of the Radicals, and heavy
reinforcements to the “ Uread and Rut
tor Brigade" are arriving at the Capital
Oity by every train, ,It is probable that
the number of volunteers to fill offices
will exceed the number of radical vob
unteers to put down the rebellion.
On (ho 21th ultimo, the House at
Washinglon passed the joint resolution
authorizing the Secretary of War to take
possession of the National Ccmeteriesat
Antietam and Gettysburg. Both will
now be turned into political machines.
EI-AIII.KITES IS THE WHITE HOUSE, I
The -V. V. Times an non nees a classifica-
tion of the assistants nnd Secretaries of
President Grant at tho White House as
follows:
General Dent will have control of nil
arrangements lor visiting the President,
interviews, presentations, and the gener
al ehargeof the reception room—transact-
ing tiie business of all callers not nlwo
lately necessary to be sent to tile; Presb
dent.
General Radeitu will attend, as hereto
fore. to tho opening of the correspon
denco.
' General Babcock w*ill have charge of all
iipplUiuiioiiß forand matters pertaining to
ujipoimnieniH to office. All such applica
tions wilt be promptly referred to the sev
eral departments.
General Purler will have charge of tho
matter of milking out appointments.
General Dent seems to be a sort of
American Lord Chamberlain, who, in
addition to superintendence of tho room
in which receptions take place, will
have charge of applications for presen
tation. and possibly prescribe the court
costume. He, too, will transact the bu
siness of callers where there is no ne
cessity (W the intervention of the Presi
dent. He is to be, in effect; the Assist
ant President.
Badenu will break the seals or dissolve
the mucilage or tear the envelopes of
“ the correspondence,” and then by an
orderly, we suppose, transmit the same
to General Babcock, who, receiving a
proper salute, will direct it, by another
orderly, to be borne promptly to the
proper department.
There seems to be an omission in this
schedule of duties of any provision for
preparing nominations for the Senate.
Probably another and fifth general will
eventually he assigned to that duty; but
ns commissions or appointments, and
nominations are made in blank in tho
different departments, it is possible that
for tiie present, General Porter may lie
able to get along with nominations and
appointments.
Mr. E. B. Washburn, appoint !
Secretary of State by President Grant.
March 5, 1860, has order d the United
states Marshal nt New York to “re
gard as cancelled” a pardon passed un
der the great seal of the United States,
by order of Pn sident Johnson, twenty-
uir hours before General Grant was in-
augurated in the Presidential office. ’ It
is not necessary or even possible, in be
coming terms to comment upom-u ih an
act? That it has no legal validity is
‘obvious enough. But that it should be
attempted to be done I Is this a gov
ernment of laws, or is it the “personal
government” of Mr. U. S. Grant and
Mr. E. B. Washburn? Mr. Commis
sioner Rollins telegraphs to the District
Attorney here that “ the President is in
earnest about this” !
Other people besides “ the President”
will be likely to “be in earnest” if ig
norance and arrogance like this are to
he enthrone d in the capital of the repub
lie.— TTorW.
Rev. Henry M. Wilson, a colored
preacher, (not Senator Henry Wilson of

Civilization Society. The Society should
undertake the job of civilizing the Rev.
Henry.
Collector Cake, of Philadelphia
was removed by President Johnson,
and Mr. James N. Marks appointed in
his place. Mr. Cake and his friends
hoped that President Grant would in
terfere, but such was not the case, and
Cake is effectually “ done brown.”
A dispatch announces that the 44 ap

Speech.
Baltimore. Md.. March 11.—Er-Pre
sident Johnson arrived in this city aa its
guest on a special train at about 11 o’clock,
A. M. The committee of invitation on
the part of the Common Council accom
panied him from Washington and the
other members of the Council met him nt
Annapolis Junction. On iirnvini; at
Camden Station, he was met by Govern
or Bowie, and other State officials, and
Mayor Banks and a number of city offi
cers. The procession had already formed
on Eutuxv st «et, and the line of march
was soon taken up. A squadron of cav
alry headed t lie proeess’on, followed by
the fifth regiment of the Maryland Na
tional Guards with full ranks' Follow
ing the regiment was an open carriage
containing ex-President Johnson, Gov
ernor Bowie, and Mayor Banks. Next

and Hook and Ladder Company, in
.strong force, followed by the Police
Force. All along the iine of march
through Eutaw, Monument, Eager, Ais
quilti, Baltimore and Guy streets, to the
exchange, dense crowds tilled the side
walks, and the windows and balconies of
the buildings were crowded with ladies.
The welcome was cordial. The day has
been bright and bracing. Mr. Johnson
held a reception at the Exchange, and
thousands c died on him.
Dinner was served at 8} o’clock. Mr.
Johnson took his seat with Mayor Banks
on ids right, and Governor Bowie on ids

the Rev. I)r. McCTaw, dinner was parta
ken 01, the hand in the meantime dis
i-ouiMug imiMc. Tiie cloth having been
i-nioved, the first toast was read a* fol
lows :
“Our guot: Thu patriot .statesman,
Andrew Johnson. As President of the
.1 in ited States the hnl wa» kof equal righ's,
the champion of the only true and per
iiiiiiient Union of these States, and tlie
defender and martyr of ' he Constitution.
History will vlndleite his fame, and re
cord an impeachment of his impeachers,
and a \ LMihct of '• guilty,” as to them.—
Baltiaior* , landing at the irate of the
Capitol, in front ol the urand procession
advancing to meet ami welcome un illus
trious citizen, In the name of that lung
line of admiring thousands whoawailhi*
coming, bids him welt ome to a place in
tiie hearts of u cieat people for whose
protection and happiness he hared his
hreast to the shafts of calumny and for
their sake hazarded all that is dear to the
man and the citizen. In his retirement
from the scat of the national government
in the full vigor of his manly faculties,
stimulated by (henpplause of all good cii
izens, we look with great assurance to Ins
future efforts ami influence for the liber
ation of the captive Slates of the Union,
•iud the rescue of their now true and
faithful citizens from political slavery.—
May his life and destiny ever he radiant
in the list of the long-lived American pa
triots, witli the blessings of the lovers of
the Constitution and the Union, w-rich
have been the glory of American citi
zens.”
The toast was received with much ap
plause, when Mr. Johnson responded as
follows:
Gentlemen—ln rising after the res
olution has been read and sentiments
therein expressed, it is not tor the pur
pose of making un address, but simply to
return my thunks for the compliment.—
I have no speech to make relative to pub

pressed, and in rising now it is only to

during the last four years, hi the arduous
struggle grdng on for constitutional liber
ty, in its darkest hour, the con fide i ice and
encouragement of Mu* State of Maryland
has been an encouragement peculiarly
su-uuhilng in Us character, for when the
crisis arrived, Maryland seemed to lie al

the Union. I repeat my only purpose in
rising i» to return thunks, but 1 will say,
in retiring from the mod exa led po-’i
lion in the gilt of u free people, and resu

Parson Brownlow, the notorious editor
of tbc Knoxville Whig ami Infamous
Governor of Tennessee, took Ida seat in
the Senate of the United Btntes, on Fri
day lost, while in a state of great physi
cal prostration. His crimes and dissipa
tions have worn the old mail out, and lie
presents to day but the wreck of whut he
waa when he used h» preach the divinity
of slavery. By a course of political ac
tion the most perfidious ever practiced
by the basest traitor, the “Parson” has
managed to occupy the gubernatorial
chair of his State, and has just attained
to whatever little honor may yet bo left
in thcSeiintnrship; but the avengerseema
to be on hie track, and a dire retribution
to await him. The following is the ac
count of the scene in i heSenate Chamber
during the administradon ol the oath of
“office to the ducrepld old man :
The Parson sat In a soft cushioned chair
at Hie left of the chamber, and immedi
ately under one wing of the ladies’ gallery.
Being unable to rise and walk over lo the
President’s desk. Mr Colfax said the
Senator could go through the ceremony
where he sat. This announcement drew
all exes In V e direction of the Pa son,
who certainly presented the most •extra
ordinary picture of physical debility that
was ex*er before witnessed in any legisla
tive assembly. Tlnnl Stevens might have
been considered, when brought into the
Senate Chamber, on men’s shoulders to
take ids place among the managers in the
memorable days of the Impeachment tri
al, the best illustration up to that time
presented of the triumph of intellectual
will over a shattered and prostrate bodi
ly organism, but Brownlow’s appearance
showed even greater indications of physi
cal wreck and ruin, and yet the latter
lacks nothing of the same unconquera
ble mental fire and energy that marked
to ids latest moments the character ol
the “Gieat Commoner.” Brownloxv lay
back in his chair, his head bent down,
his face shrivelled, ghastly and of un
earthly hue, his hands clasped in bony
vice-like grasp and his whole appearance

GRANTS CABINET.
We are enabled, at great expense, to
Iny l>efore our readers, something definite
as lo whom the honor of occupying a po
sition In the cabinet of President Grant
shall be awarded. Small papers, such as
Hie New York /{era d, Tribune, Times
and Scanlon Republican, have pub'ished
al) sorts ol rum* ra, but we believe Hie
following to be entirely authentic, and
hence reliable:
FIRST DISPATCH.
Washington, Feb. 30, 1869.—1 t has
been discovered that George H. Stuart, or
some other man Irom Philadelphia or
Pennsylvania is to have a seat In the cabi
net, and that Grant has written lo some
body about it. This is relit hie, from the
fact that Sen lor Conness told the agmit
of the *•* Associated Press” that Cameron
should ha\ e suited privately to Minuter
that he hud heard Chandler tell Wade
that McClure (well-known in Pennsyl
vania) hud an Interview with Grant, and
that Grant tdlcl McClure a Pennsylvani
an should be selected, ami that McCluie
did not think Stuart was sufficiently
Radical thief enough to have such a post
lion ; ami that Grant said he didn’t k now
what possible objection McCluie could
have to such men.
SECOND DISPATCH-
Feb. 30,-5 o’clock A. M.—McClure
ha-* just come from.Oranl’s head-quarters
wiUa the tiews that he don’t Know now
whether it is to he Stuart or somebody
else—“ u boy or a gal.”
THIRD DISPATCH,
Feb. 30,-9 o’clock A. M.—tMcClnra,
nut being certain which —probably for
getting what lie knew uh ml Hie matter
called again at Grant's headquarters at 8
o’clock, and hud-a prolonged interview
with Hie chambermaid. From her he
learned that Grant look a nap this morn
ing, ami, dreaming himself t«> lie Presi
dent. he blurted out ids views as to hi
cabinet,one «»f whom I e addressed as S-c
tvlury A. Dintcilm. This news look Mr
McClure by sin prise. Heie was a.name
laniiltar to all, \et never thought of he

the man.

Washington Is lull of the wildest excite

Last week I sent you the Cabinet. This

Secretary of State. —Hamilton Fish, of
Now York.
.Seer (nnj of the Treasury, —George 8.
Both well. of Massachusetts.
Secretary of War.— John A. Rawlins,
of Illinois. ""
Secretary of the Navy.— A. E. Borie, of
Pennsylvania-
Secretary of the Interior. —J. D. Cox, of
•Ohio.
Po-ii Mabtcr General.—

Attorney General.— E. R. Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts-
It seems that Washburn declined the
State department ostensibly on account
of ill-health, but really because bo felt
the thing was entirely too ridiculous.—
He has since been nominated as Minister
to France. Ashe cannot speak a word
of French, and can scarcely write his own
language correctly, many persons think
this is rather,a stupendous undertaking
even for a Washburn. A. T. Stewart
found that he was disqualified from serv
ing os betal of the Treasury department,
by an old law on the statute book, which
neither Grant nor auy of Ids brilliant ad
vlsers-know anything about. This law
forbids the Secretary of the Treasury to
engngeliig in any commercial pursuit,
and as. Mr. Stewart is one of the largest
importers in the United States, of ooqrso
he could not hold the office. He proposed
to place Ids business in the hand-* of trus
tees, and to devote the proceeds of thenext
lour yeUra to some charitable put pose, but
a number of legal gentlemen were con
suite.l, who decided that the dodge ,
would’ntwork, and Stewartconsequently
resigned. General Schofield also declined
,1m U a. olilce, preforing activescrvico.-
Such Is the Cabinet for this week, what
it will be next week, no one cun tell. It
has been well said that no man is now
safe; nr.v om* may be culled Into th- ner
vine of his country at any moment. There
are thousands who are anxious to be so
called. A desperate scramble Is going on
for olllco, amongst the truly " loil.” The
city swarms with office-seekers from ail
sections of the country, pushing forward
their claims for positions, ranging from
village postmaster to the most important
foreign mission. Congressmen are be
sieged by a myriad of these people for
letters of recommendation. The Demo
cratic members have (in easy timeand en
joy tlie persecutions to which their repub
lican friends are being subjected. The
heads of departments have mo r e ap
plications on file than would Gil all the
public offices and ClerkshYps for the next
century. The Postmaster General, in
particular, has a happy lime "f it. The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue is out
in a piteous appeal to the “ loil” to stay
away. Ho says “ there la such an over
whelming avalanche of applicants as sub
stantially to block all the business of the
Department;” It seems as If every man
who voted for Grant either wants an of
fice himself, or wants to help a friend to
some of the '‘pickings.” There are a
hundred “outs” to one “in,” and .the
“outs’** are the hungriest fellowsyou ever
laid your eyes on.
Many strange facts have recentty leaked
out in reference to abuses of the franking
privilege. The mail hags are utterly
choked with, franked documents. Con
gressmen never fail to frank any article
presented to them, and hundreds of Com-
Snittee and department clerks are author
ized to imitate and use their franks. And
then most Congressmen have a score or
more of lady friends, for whose appear
ance in the galleries they watch, with
ceaseless vigilance, whom thev greet with
corlenus bows and bland smiles, and to
whose cards they always respond in
promptness and in person. ’These ladies
are often about the. Capitol and in the re
tiring rooms of the Senate and House.—
They have hosts of correspondents in'
every section of tlie Country, and are
never without (ranked envelopes. It is
also a notorious fact lha* both Senators
and members receive through the mail,
not only for themselves, hut for other*
not connected with them in any legiti
mate way, letters, booksand even articles
of clothing. It iaeveu said tbatsome mem
bets of Congress have sent their clothes
home through the mails to be washed.—
And for all this the dear people have to
pay. *
Poor Grant! His troubles arennjy com
menclng. The Radical office seekers are
howling around him like n puck of
wolves, and every new accession to the
hungry crowd adds new zest to the appe
tites of those now on baud. He envel
opes himself in a thick oloud of smoke
and tries to look indifferent, but it wont
work. Smoke is nothing to them ; they
are even ready “ to stand fire, and steal-”
If they can only g.-t their bands into the
Treasury, they will be supremely happy
—and great God what hands they've got!
In the midst of it all poor Grant tries to
blunder through his presidential duties,
and makes some new ridiculous mistak o
every day in the week. A number of the
leading Republican papers have already
been criticising him severely, and others
ore shaping their course to foliew.

Cure for Sheep Chasing Dogs.—W.
F., in the Field , says: “A large deer
hound of my father’s {a prize winner it
Birmingham), with not bung well look
ed after, got into, the habit nt chasing •
sheep, and killed them, too, whenever
he hud an opportunity. He was sharply
corrected and kept chained up, but when
again taken out he was as had as ever.—
My father happily remembered how lie
had cured a large retriever of the same
sin, thirty-five years before, and we have,
I am pleased to say, made a perfect cure
of the deerhound. After one of his cha
ses lie was taken up to the sheep farm,
securely tied between two old Scotch
rams, and then let loose in the yard.—
sooner were they let loose, than all
three, being good jumpers, cleared the
wall, and the dog was drugged about the
park till all-three were dead tired. The
poor.fellow w-ts taken home, and I can
assure you sheep-chasing is the very last
tiling of all others that he ever tlnuks
of.”
