About twontyyearsago Hiram Hill

such we propose to speak of him. Ho

Equipped in this armor, the diver puts
on a pair ofjeud-soled bboos, weigh

through which ho receives air to the

commences its work of supplying him
with a constant stream ot zresb uir.
If utany timo, the air creates too great
a pressure upon him, the pressure is
relieved by a sell-acliug valve at tho
side of the head. If tho pump does
not furnish sufficient ui r, the diver in
dicates the fuel by signs, and the sup
ply is increased. Mr. Hill has inform

the buoyancy of the uir furnished Lim

In the United States Senate, May
Oth, 1802, in reply to Mr. Hhorman, oi
Ohio, speaking of the battle of i'itts
burg binding, Itev. James Harlan,
Seiiulor from Iowi., said:
"From ull that 1 can learn on tho
subject, I do not think that General
drant is ht to command u great army
in the hold.
Tho lowa troops have been in baL
tie repeatedly under the command of
Uenoral Grunt. I hoy have no confi
dence in his capacity and fitness for
tho lugli position lie now holds. They
regard him as the author of tho use
less slaughter of many hundreds of
tlioir bravo comrades hi arms. It is
not necessary, oris li rigln,, tuwmpel
them to serve under him. The speech
of the Senator from Ohio, might, if
unnoticed, induce tho in uuthority
to continue him in tho field.
1 understand he has been virtually
suspended, thai ho now really has uo
command, that each uivis oii and ar
my corps of the Western Department
is unuer command ol unother Gener
al, and the whole under tho command
of General llalleek. that General
Grant is second in command of tho
whole, which is, of cour.se, merely
nominal, in my opinion, he ought
not to have .muliipiiod thousands of
men placed in his bands uftcr the re
cord which he nas made. " And the
only practicul tendency on thut purt
of the speech of the Senator from Ohio,
would bu to iuduco tho President
to assign him an active command.
This 1 cannot consent to have dono in
tho presence of my countrymen,
maimed and slaughtered, as I believe,
through bis carelessness or incompe
tency. I sny this not on account of
any public or private grievance of a
personal nature. If my
convictions ure correct, it would bo a
crime for me to remain silent, and
suffer influences to originalo in the
Senate chamber which may result in
icstoring a General loan active com
mand whom I, and the people 1 iu
part represent, deem unworthy of
such a trust.
And bo shall not with tay consent
be continued to command. There is
nothing in bis antecedents to justify
a further, trial ot his military skill.
At Jiulmont he committed an egreg
ious and unpardonable military blun
der, which resulted in almost annihi
lating an Iowa regiment.
At Fort Donaldson, tho right wing
of our army, which was under his im
mediate command, was defeated and
driven back several miles Iroia the
enemy's Vorks. Tho battlo was res
tored by General Smith, the enemy's
works wero stormed, and thus a vic
tory was finally won. And so on the
battlefield of Shilofc, Lis army was
completely surprised, as I believo,
from all the facts I can procuro, on
Sunday, and nothing but tho bravery
of men fighting by regiments nnd
brigades saved the army from ulter
destruction. Tho battlo was after
ward restored by General Hucll and
other Generals, who camo on the field
during tho evening and night, and
our forces ultimately succeeded in
routing the enemy. Row, sir, with
such a recoid, thoso who continue
General Grant in an active command,
will, in my opinion, carry on their
skirts the blood of thousands of their
slaughtered countrymen. With my
convictions, 1 can neither do it my
self, nor silently permit others to do
it. (Seo Congressional (ilobo ; 2d Ses

is declared powerful enough to nn
mako ono President, and which may
bo Used to create another.
Tho minister of a church out West
refused to preach one Sunday until his
salary was paid. "No pay no preach"
was his position. Whereopnn one of
the most wealthy of Ins Bock desired
to know if he could change a half dollar.
The preuehor bus iince cbunged his
circuit.
An ingenious cobbler, who Is known
as a man of lew words, and who is
very provident of them, hit upon tho
following plan to save expense in
puintingull the letters of "Shoe Shop :"
SHO
P
".t'o Potlry or. Iti Ows."
Gonorul Grunt, iu bis speech of ac
ceptance, said : Yob have truly said
that I shall have no policy of my own
to interfere against the will of the peo
ple." Such language may mil the
tastes of some, but from the lips of a
candidate for tho Presidency of the
United States theycoino with exceed
ing bad grace. Suppose he had mude
a declaration of tins kind w hen ho
took command of the army; who,
among the officers or privalcs would
have defended bim? Vet, now, his
friends wish to palm bim off on the
people, not knowing whether bo favors
u military despotism, or a democratic
form of government. That President
is riot worth a penny who has not o
line ot policy ui ua t .. .. ..uul out,
and who, in ti mes such as those
throngh which we aro passing, bus
not the courage to declare what that
policy should be. The fact that Gen
eral Grant quulifieshis announcement
by saying thut be has no policy of his
own to interfere against the will of the
people, does not. relieve him from the
charge of unmanly weakness. The
President of a great people, it be be
at all qualified for the position, can
not possibly escape tho necessity of
clearly defining bis position in rela
tion to such national issues as may
from timo totime present themselves.
When, therefore. General Grant de
clares that he "shall have no policy
of bis own," he simply announces that
being unlit tor the position, he has re
solved to surrender himself into the
keeping of his Radical supporters to
be used by them for such purposes as
thoy miiy deem proper. This early
announcement ot his intentions to be
u mere pliant tool in the hands of the
revolutionists who havo assumed
charge and control of 4iim, will more
than convince the people that a man
of more determined mould, and of
broader statesmanlike views, is need
cd for the Exoculive Department of
the Government.

clerical positions in the various depart
ments ul Vushinj.'tou will bo sum
marily discharged During tho im
peachment triul, when it was deemed
morally certain thut the President
would be convicted, these pensioners
upon tho administration indulged in
the f mlest abuse of the President and
of bis friends, hoping thereby to win
fuvor iu the eyesol Mr. WaJo s new
administration. It is stated that of
the three thousand clerks in the Treas
ury lepurtiuenl not more than live
hundred aro conservative men. The
remaining twcniy-fne hundred ne
red mouthed Radicals, who should be
mado to ''walk tho plank" and air
their politic in a more titling and
congenial atmosphere. The President
ought by this time to have le.irncd
thut every ono of these defenders of
impeachment is a spy in tho service
of tho munugers, and that they have
left nothing undone, and will scruple
at nothing that will aid bis enemies
in frustrating tho policy of the admin
istration. It is to be Imped that he
will make short work with the whole
batch ofthein and supply their places
with better men. Had Don Wade
