clothes line at Muggins Hotel.
An investigation into the matter
showed that I had struck through in
to a gas factory in China, which had
exploed at both ends of the bore,
killing half a million of Chinese.
The casualities on our side were
confined to one native and a small
dog.
I haven't given up yet.
The folks here are very encourag

as he has a cent loft, and I never
knew Muggins to turn a man out of
his hotel to pay his bill.
A kind-hearted chap offered me
another piece of land, the size of a
stove plate, within a mile and a half
of a seven hundred barrel well, for
the reasonable figure of half a million,
and two-thirds of the oil.
I had concluded that boring for
oil is not so profitable as bleeding the

offered. - .
I shall be prepared. to guarantee

A NEEDED REFORM.
Journalism in -the 'Milted States
has degenerated, on the part' of too
'many editors, into nothing but abuse,
and misrepresentation. Instead of
discussing principles, and striving to
excell each other in devotion to cone.
try and the welfare of its people, as
well as instructing in patriotic and
a . m i ssikkaivieZwi:r4gys k eihriMa e t i 444-,
ponent by billingsgate; the facility
with which they can", apply slang
terms of reproach ; the case with
which they can. commit a forgery in
garbling or twisting a record. All
this teads to lower in the estimation of
people a business that should occupy
the first rank in the professions.—
Even now, as the masses have been
educated, one partx,,looks with sus
picion upon the sayings and 'doings
of the organs of the opposition.; and
before long, if a Change is not effect
ed, they will mistrust their own or
gans, and look upon them, too, as
mere agents to do dirty work. In
stead of men adopting Tournalb3m as
their choice, it is only, taking up by
force of circumstances ; by those who
have failed in the professions ; 'or by
those who wish to foist themselves
into public places in spite of the pop
ular will by the influence which at—
taches to the position ; which influ
ence, however, instead of decreasing
yearly by a wont, of dignity and fair
ness, could bo greatly increased, if
editors generally understood their
true vocation. The papers of a coun
try influence the character of its peo
ple, and nowhere more so than in
America. This fact is patent to
every observant mind. The same
venom and disposition to misrepre
sent that has been a characteristic of
too many papers of late years has in
fused itself into the people, so that
in many sections, instead of a sensi
ble, and manly difference of opinion
on political questions, we find hatred
and abuse, frequently blows, and
sometimes murder. All this should
not be. We should be charitable and
kind to each, other. Instead of de
siring to depriire each other of their
opinions we should understand the
true principles of our Institutions,
and, under the laws, defend freedom
of speech and of thought, instead of
impairing that Heaven born right.
Lot editors discuss principles,
sensibly and reasonably. Let them
pride themselves on giving the views
and principles of their opponents
honestly and fairly, and, if possible,
show their fallacy by dignified and
and gentlemeniy argument.
Let them abstain from slang names;
either of individuals or of parties.
Let them conduct their papers so
that the whole people will loook upon
them as receptacles of Truth, instead
of _Lies, as is too prevalent an im-
pression
Let them act as though many of
them had less than an hundred years
to live, and that they may be re
metnbered for the good they have
done, instead of for the facility they
possessed in blackguardism and false
hood.
Let them remember, that if the
good that men do lives after them
while the evil is interred with their
bones, that the reverse is also very
often the case, and act accordingly.
In a word, let journalism in Amer
ea be elevated to its propel• position,
so that it may really be a benefit to
the people instead of a curse.
Err It is unnecessary to follow up
the falsehoods of the Republican pa
pers against their ' opponents, still
when they misrepresent the record
in important particulars, thereby de
ceiving the people, it does no harm
to give the truth. One of their
choicest morsels of late has been, that
the Chicago Democratic Convention
of 1864, resolved that "the war was a
failure." Said Convention resolved
nothing of the kind. Its resolution
was, ."that after four years of failure
to restore the Union, by the experi
ment of -war,".. it :was time to try
other means in addition, dm The
facts were then as represented, and
if Republican papers desired to make
any capital out of the resolve it
would have been just as easy to give
it as it really is, instead of putting
another meaning to it by a garbled
trfinSPOSitiqn of the worts.'
The following letter' from Mr.
Buchanan disposes of another of these
lying titbits :
To the Editor of the N. Y. Evening
Post .
SIR :—ln the New York Tribune of
yesterday I read, with no little sur
prise, an extract from the Evening
Post (which 1 do not see) stating in
substance that the Cincinnati Demo
cratic Convention of June, 1856, (not
May) had come to a "dead lock," on
the evening before Mr. Buchanan's
nomination, and had adjourned until
the next morning, "with a fair pros
pect it would meet only to adjourn
sine die ;" but that in the meantime
arrangements were made to secure
his nomination as soon as it
should reassemble, in consequence of
pledges given by his friends. The
nature of these pledges, according to
the article in the Post, was openly
avowed by Judge Black on the floor
of the Convention, immediately after
the nomination. According to it :
"A silence ensued for a few moments,
as if the Convention was anticipating
something prepared, when Judge
Black of Pennsylvania (afterward At
torney General under Buchanan,)
rose in his place and made a set
speech, in which he proceeded to de.
flounce "Abolitionism" and "Black
Republicanism" very freely, and to
argue that the States possessed, un
der the Constitution, the right of se
(Mr. Buchanan) would do nethiliglo
interfere with tbo exercise of it.—
This pledge was ample and was ac
cepted by the Southern loaders."
You will doubtless be astonished to
learn that Judge Black, afterward
' Mr. Buchanan's Attorney "General,
by whom this pledge is alleged to
have been made, and through whom
the evident purpose now is to fasten
it upon Mr. Buchanan, was not a Del
egate to the Cincinnati Convention nor
was he within 400 miles of Cincinnati
during its session. Instead of this, he
was at the very time performing his
high official duties as a Judge of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
It may be added that from the
date of General Jackson's message of!
January, 1833, against South Caro
lina nullification and secession, until '
that.of his owe message of December, '
1860, and indeed ever since, no pub-
We man has more steadfastly and uni
formly opposed these dangerous and
suicidal heresies than Mr. Buchanan.
.Had any person, in or out of the
, Convention dared to make a pledge
in his behalf, on this or any other
subject, such an act would have been
condemned a few days thereafter by
the terms of his letter accepting the
nomination. In this, after express
ing his thanks for the honor conferr
ed, be says that, "Deeply sensible of
the vast and varied responsibility at
tached to the station, especially at
the present crisis in our affairs Ihave
carefully refrained from seeking the
nomination either by word or deed ;"
and this statement is emphatically true.
A few words in regard to the al
leged "dead lock" in the Cincinnati
Convention at the time of its adjourn
ment on the evening of the sth of
June after fourteen ballots had been
taken for a candidate. It appears
from its proceedings, as officially pub
lished, that on each of these ballot
ings, Mr. Bucbnnan received a plu
rality, and on the sixth attained a
majority of all the votes of the Con
vention, but not the required two
thirds. On the fourteenth and last
ballot of that evening, the vote stood
1521 for Buchanan ; 75 for Pierce ;
63 for Douglas, and 5i for Cass. This
being the state of the case, when the
Convention assembled the next morn.
ing the New Hampshire delegation
withdrew the name of General Pierce,
and the Illinois delegation withdrew
that of Judge Douglas, in obedience
to instructions from home by tele
graph on the day before the ballot.
ings had commenced. After this the
nomination of Mr. Buchanan seemed
to be a matter of course. He bad
never heard of a "dead lock" in the
Convention or anything like it, until
he read the article in the Post.
It may be proper to state that Col.
Samuel W. Black. of Pittsburg, was a
delegate to the Cincinnati Conven
tion from Pennsylvania, and being
well known as a ready and eloquent
speaker, "shouts wore, raised" for a
speech from him, immediately after
the nomination was announced. To
these he briefly rsponded in an able
and enthusiastic manner. From the
identity of their surnames, had this
response, reported with the proceed
ings contained the infamous pledge
attributed to .7 - ndge Black
i , or any
thing like it, we might n charity
have inferred that the author of the
article had merely mistaken' the
name of ono for the other. But there
is nothing in what Col. Black said
which affords the least color for any
such mistake.
Col. Black afterward sealed his hos
tility to Secession with his blood. At
an early stage of the war, he fell mor
tally wounded on the field of battle
while gallantly leading on his regi
ment against the rebels.
I doubt not you will cheerfully do me
justice by publishing this letter • and
I would thank you for a copy of the
paper containing it. Yours, very re
spectfully. JAMES BUCIIANAN.

THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GEN
ERALS HALLECK AND SHERMAN,
If will be remembered that when
General Sherman's agreement with
John Son for the surrender of the
Confederate armies, (authorized by
Mr. Lincoln,) became known in the
North, a tremendous furor was gbt
up against him by the Repdblicans,
just as they did against McClellan.-:
He was derided and denounced as a
traitor and almost everything else
that was bad. HiS great services
and those of his army were overlook
ed and forgotten. Halleck and Stan
ton were the men who led on this on
slaught. After a short time they got
a flea in the . ear, began . to hold off,
and would now like to forget their
malice and indiscreetness. Not so
Sherman and his men. Hence, the
following- correspondence between
Halleck and Sherman, which we find
in the Now York News; Will be fully
understood.
General Balled to General Sherman :
As you will be in Richmond in a
few days, allow me to offer you the
hospitalities of my house here, where.
I shall bo gratified to receive you and
contribute to make your sojourn here
agreeable.
General Sherman to General Hailed :
Your proffered hospitality is re.
spectfully cleaned. I had hoped to
pass through Richmond without the
painful necessity of meeting you.—
Your recent advisory despatch to the
War Department is a sufficient expla
nation.
General Hailed to General Sherman :
I regret your declining my invita
tion, and the unfriendly spirit mani
fested in your note. If you knew
the feeling in which you are held at
the War Department in reference to
your agreement with Johnston you
would appreciate the motive of my
despatch to which you refer. Per
mit me to assure you of my kind
feeling toward you personally, and
my .high admiration for your ser

well, to appreciate the motives of your
despatch. Both you and Kr. Stanton
sent me warning to beware of assas
sins. I did not then know that the
authors of the warning were them
selves the assassins I had to fear.
TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS,
The trial of the conspirators charg

going on at Washington, before the
Military Court of which Major Gen

the public since Saturday week, and
full reports now appear in the papers
daily. The prisoners on trial are

nature that no abstract we could give
would be satisfactory.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE A T E.
OROES.—On Thursday of last week, a
delegation of Colored men called up
on President Johnson, and presented
a copy of resolutions passed by them
in relation to the assassination of Mr.
Lincoln.
President Johnson in response, re
marked that it . was scarcely necessa
ry for him to repeat what his course
had been in relation to the colored
man, as everybody within the reach
of information had already been
made acquainted with it. It was
known that though he was born and
raised in a slave State and had raised
slaves, yet be never sold ono and they
have all gone free.
There was a difference in the re
sponsibility which persons who re
side in the Southren slave States
have to take on the subject of
emancipation from those who reside
ont of them. It was very easy for
men who live beyond their borders
to get up a sympathy, and talk about
the condition of colored persons when
they knew nothing about it. Their
great sympathy was not reduced to
practice. When tlae tyrant's rod is
bent and the yoke broken, the pas
sing from one extreme to the other,
from bondage to freedom, is difficult,
and in this transition state some
think they have nothing to do but fall
back upon the Government for sup
sort, in order that they may be tak
en care of in idleness and debauchery.
There was one idea which those whom
he addressed ought to inculcate, name
ly, that freedom simply means liber
ty to work and to employ the pro-
duct of a man's own toil, and how
much he may put into his stomach
and on his back. le meant this in
its most extensive sena°.

it did; and that the white veterans

The Third Series of Seven-Thirties
The great success of the 7,30 Loan must al
ways be looked upon as one of the most power
ful evidences of the strength of the United States
Government, and of its strong hold upon the
confidence and affections of the people. On Sat
urday, May 13th, the subscriptions were over
thirty million dollars, and for the week ending
on that day, over ninety-eight million dollars,
and in the three months that the Loan has been
in charge of Mr. JAY COOKE, over five hundred
million dollars. These large receipts will enable
the Treasury to pay of our armies as they aro
disbanded, and to rapidly discharge the various
obligations that have been incurred during the
war. History will show that, a great war-debt
to individuate has never before boon so promptly
paid ; and we think all w ill agree that Secretary
McCulloch deserves great credit for the ability
he his manifelted , not only in securing the
means, but for the financial skill he has die.
played in so directing these vast receipts and
disbursements as not for a moment to disturb
the equilibrium of commerce, embarrass individ
uals, or in any way tighten the money market.
ft is doubtless, true that the Secretary of the
Treasury might have negotiated the remainder
ofhis Loans at six per cent. interest instead of
7.0, but so much valuable time would necessai
ily have been lost in popularizing a new loan
that the great objeot of the Government, viz.,
an immediate supply of money sufficient to pay
all the debts incident to the war, would have
been defeated; and besides, the diforence of in
terest would not have been equal to three days'
expenses. TheiMlicy may have looked "penny
wise," but the beet financial authorities, as well
as common sense, pronuneed it "pound foolish."
As it is—and will be, no soldier will go home
without his greenbacks, and the floating debt in
the shape of vouchers, requisitions, &0., will be
wiped out as rapidly as-the proper officers can
'audit and adjust the accounts. '
•
The. Second Series of the 7.30 Loan was ex•
hanged on Saturday, May 13th. On Monday,
the'Seorelary of the Treasdry authorised JAY
Coosa., the general Subscription Agent for 11. S.
Securities, to receive sehecriptions for $230,000,
000 of a Third Series, which le all that is au
thorized by Congress, and is without doubt the
list loan at this high rate of interest that will
be offered by the Government.
There is no tihazge in the terms or conditions
of this third Series, except. that the Government
reserves the right of paying interest at six per
Cent. in go Id instead of seven and three-tenths
in curreney—a right which would pro-suppose a
return to specie payments, and make six per
cent. in gold even better than the higher rate in
currency—a consummation most devoutly to be
wished.
The privilege of converting the notes into 5.20
six per cent gold bonds at the end of three
years, or receiving payment at maturity, at the
border's option, is retained.
The first day of the Third Series opened with
