THE venerated friend of John Sher
man, and otic of the trusted mothers
of the fraudulent administration, is in
trouble. Kliza Pinkston, whom John
had carried into the presence of the
Returning Hoard on a sofa, to give
evidence in favor of the Presidential
steal, is now in jail for the murder of
her second husband, having made way
with the first about the time Sher
man's first intimacy commenced with
her.
Gov. IIOYT'S "sixty million" boom
for Grant seems to have the run of the
papor-< now. The beauty and suhlimi.
ty of the boom is so striking, and adds
so much to the dignity of the Pennsyl
vania Kxecutive, that we cannot fore
go the pleasure of laying it before our
readers. Here it is as published in
the Philadelphia I'rrt*:
IlAßßisnrao, Nov. 11.
Tho people of Pennsylvania note with
pleasure the completion of the circuit round
the globe by General Grant. <n his second
round by their acclaims, they will arrest
him hereon a "lap,"' until, in "ISXi, he shall
inaugurate, as the t'hief Magitrte of the
nation, the full purpose of a frw people :
and in IH&S sixty million of u* will bid
him "God speed" to the fulfillment of a
per feet career. HKNRT M. IIOTT,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
Titr. announcement that the Gov
ernor and Kxecutive(kmncil of Maine,
charged with the duty of canvassing
the votes cast at the late election, in
tended performing that duty conscien
tiously nnd fairly to ascertain the true
result, has stirred up the Radicals, who
take counsel of.l leir fears and their
own precedents of villainy, to suppose,
or at least charge, that these officers
contemplated a great fraud. Evi
dence that extensive frauds had In-cn
committed in the election, was liefore
the Council, which, If well founded,
they would IM? derelict in duty if they
jeruiilted then, to go unex|iosed. The I
Radicals fearing too close a scrutiny
appoints-.] n committee to demand of
Gov. Gareelon possession of the re
turns, alleging their right to make
corrections. To this demand the (lov
ernor replies a* follows :
"That tho committee of the Kxecutive
Council had not yet reported upon the
returns, and that ho did not now pro
pose to plaeo them in tbo hands of
a mob. "I am surprised," said he,
"that gentlemen occupying tho position
of those you name should engage in
•ueh a proceeding. I ran but consider the
whole exhibition here this afternoon a
most disgraceful affair. In regard to tho
counting out of which wo have heard so
mueh, I cannot conceive how you should
have arrived at such a conclusion, unless
It wa* your own guilty conscience* that
prompted the idea."
Failing to bull-doze the Governor
the Radical committee then applied
to the Court for a mandamus to com-
JM-1 his compliance.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON,

I WAMIIINOTON, I> November 21
| Tho ceremonies of unveiling tho statue
of the groat nnd heroic soldier, General

I ing of tho 10th of November was ushered
! in by tho boom of artillery, and l>y eleven
o'clock Pennsylvania Avenue, from tho
i
i j Capitol to tho Treasury, wa* thronged
with * porta tors, gay with flags and stream
ers and garlands, while staff otlieers and
> civic and military organizations moved to
i thoir respective rendezvous.
At 12:150 tho grand procession moved up
■ j Pennsylvania Avenue in five division*,
• | headed by (ioneral T T. Crittenden, (irand
> Marshal, and his staff. Kaeli division wa
, headed by a marshal nnd bis staff. In tho

The fifth and ia't division was made up of

Light Infantry Mlues, Norfolk City G iard,
the Governor's Guard* of Annapolis, \I,I .
Alexandria Light Infantry, Cadets, Thorn
n Mounted Battalion, Butler Guard-, and
the Fire Department of Washington
These division* w,-re reviewed by the
| President.from a -land on the Av, nue, in
; front of the Kxecutive Mansion.
Beaching the circle at the intersection of
Fourteenth street, Massachusetts, and Ver.
moot avenue* and M *tr>-et, the divisions
were a**ignod their several jili">n aroutei
I the voiles! monument. 50,(XX) people had
j assembled to wilne-s the ceretnonb • at the
j unveiling of the statue. The circle around
the monument was most beautifully and
artistically decorated with flag* and stream
ers and garland*. A prayer, a salute of
artillery, arid the ''Star Spangled Manner
by a choir of 100 voices, with artillery ae
companimer.t, and, at a signal, the starry
folds of the fiag of our country fell at the
touch of General I>on Carlo* Buell, and
the splendid equestrian statue of the pure
patriot and unflinching soldier, r , to
| view aini'i the cheer* of an admiring mul
titude. The oration of General Stanley-
Matthews, which followed, was a splendid
tribute to the memory of the warrior
whoso form live* in bronze, but wlio*e
great name and d-"d* live in of
the American Jieople.
This statue is pronounced to lie the
, finest equestrian statue in Washington,
j It is work of the sculptor J. (J A
! Ward, ami was purchased by the Society
; of the Army of the Cumberland at a cost
of S(O,<XX). The pedestal on which it
stand* wa erected by the Govermnefft at
a cost of $25,000.
In the evening a meeting wa* held by
the Society in a mammoth tent erected on
; the White House lot ju*t south of the
President's Mansion, Ten thousand peo
{ pie assembled under this canvass. There
j was an address of welcome bv Judge Me.
Arthur ; an oration by General Anson G.
McCook ; a recitation of the poem, "The
Bock of Chickamauga," by Miss Annie
Story; ipeeche* and anecdote* by General
Sherman, General Garfield, Mr. Hayes,
j and others, all inter*j>er*e<l with choice
j music.
j. The morning of the 20th dawned cold
! and blustery, with flakes of snow In the
air. The mammoth tent had been flatten
ed out by the galq, and the Society met at
Willard's Hall, where among its proceed
ings, it was determined to hold the next
re-union at Toledo, Ohio. At 11 o'clock
a. M. the Society went by steamer to Ml.
Vernon, the tomb of Washington, and re.
turned to the city In the afternoon.
The grand ball which wa* to have taken
place in the lent, was, by reason of the
collapse, transferred to the rotunda and
lobbies of tho Capitol. Thereat 10 c. m
under the hlazo of electric light* and to
the music of half a dozen bands scattered
about the grand rotunda, the old halls and
corridors, the vast crowd, crushing and
squeeaing, moved slowly about. But lit
tle dancing wa* done, a* the crowd wa* to
great to admit of such diversion. It wa*
therefore not a ball, but a math, In which
prince and cobbler, colonel and corporal,
President and lacquey, ail joined in the
djamhoree," Many distinguished pcrtons
•
were present inclmliiig Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes, Speaker Randall, General- Sher
man anil Garfield.
Two interesting incident* worthy of
special note, occurred during the ceremo
nies. One was the pre-i-nce of three Vir
ginia and two Maryland volunteer cornpa
nies who, ignoring pant differences, came to
tender their tribute to thedeccaaed soldier.
These veterans of many a hard fought
i battle, showed by their admirable drill
and precision that they had not forgotten
I the discipline of war, and by their presence
j that brave soldiers can do lienor to a gal
lant opponent. Another was the remarks
of a Mr. Watkins, on the boat which ear
ned the Society to Mount Vernon, that,
though he had fought again-t General
Thomas, and (aire in his body a Federal
bullet, yet lie wished to raise hi* voice in
honor of the memory of that great soldier,
laud naked that lie might h< permitted t<>
join the Army of the Cumberland. His
speech war greeted with a routing cheer,
and also anseloqueiit response from Gen
eral Garlield, for videiillv touched a
! warm -pot in the hearts of those present.
Fklix.
Great Issue* Relied.
From thfl WMliingtuu l'
Although Virginia soldier* have come
to the National Capital ami joined in a
pageant to do honor to the memory of
a Virginian, who, a* a Genera! in the
I'nion armv. struck the hardest blows
on the cause of the Confederacy, we
-diall still l>e told that the Southern
people are "irreooncih-d, implacable
and full of all the animosities of the
rebellion." Although the leading states
men of the South have earnestly advo
cated and cheerfully voted for every
measure of justice and generosity that
has been presented ill the interest of
the soldiers of the I'nion, the bloody
shirt still flap* in every Northern gale.
Mthotigh the ex -Confederal*** ill Con
gre-s voted nearly thirty millions of
dollars, a* arrears of pensions for the
men who conquered the rebellion,
there is not a Republican journal in the
I'nion that doe* not charge them with
, undying hatred of the old flag, and the
men who fought under it. Although
the regular pension bill and the appro
priations for the support of Soldiers'
Honn-s have retrieved the enthusiastic
support of every eX Confederate in the
"senate and House, we still hear the
hideous howl that the "red-handed
rebels are nursing the war spirit of
Isfil." Although nearly all the millions
that have been voted for Southern w.ir
claims were appropriated when the Re
publican* had entire |>o*e**ion of the
National Legislature, we are still told
that it t* the purpose of the Hemocratic
party to bankrupt the Government tn
payment of such claim*. Although the
'Southern State* have incorporated the
war amendment* u-to their fundamen
tal law, and the South ha* accepted
them a* of the same binding force and
••fleet a* the original sections of our
National charter, the cry i rai-<-d in
Congress and throughout the North
that those amendment* are repudiated
by the entire .Southern people.. Al
though secession died amid the throe*
of civil war fifteen years ago, and the
institution in which it bad its root wa*
destroyed by emancipation. Republi
can statesmen and politician* still go
- tip and down the land shaking it*
tuouldy bone* and predicting that it is
ibout to live again. Was there ever a
party whose "great i-eiM ' jsere thus
belied bv the fact* of history and the
j truth* of to-day ?
Why N*t
ft Tn !h !Urrt* nr( Tot?) t.
Some of the advocate* of a third term
in the rxrc** of their fantastic man
worship already intimate that thev are
prepared to give Grant a fourth term.
In this they are entirely logical and
consistant, whatever may he said of
| their judgment and patriotism. If the
tradition* of the Republic and the great
j example of Washington are to be brok
en why not a fourth or fif'h term?
Why not a plehincit declaring Grant
i President or Pictator for life? It is the
j first "tep that costs. The third term i*
I hut the beginning of the end at which
is written the Empire. Some of the
i rn'tst desperate ol the advocate* of this
| initer innovation long for the down
tail of tli Republic and for the over
| throw of the free institution* which
, they hate. None of those who are now
j throwing up their hat* for a third term
j or who give it their otiose assent will
j hesitate to take Gie final plunge. They
may shiver for a while on the brink out
of a lingering regard for the glorious
memories ol the best day* of the repub
lie, but they will he dragged onward
and downward in spite of any weak
compunction*. The manager* of thi*
Grant movement are more < tinning than
j the noisy crowd of third termer*. The
first purpose of these conspirator* who
are now playing with the man-worship
of the in> b i* to trample under foot one
of the most sacred observance* of the
Republic which has never been violated
or even touched to thi* hour. When
thi* i* accomplished the re*t will lie
easy.

' arKF Rati Boar*—The following in ref
erence to the Lewisburg, Centre and
Spruce Creek railroad appeared in the
Philad* Iphia Rrenrd of Tuesday* "The
Pennsylvania Kailrnad Comjwny will **H.n
add anetber line i>t rail* and tie# to its
long list of branches in the foreclosure of
the mortgage of the Lewisburg, Centre A
spruce Creek Railroad Company whose
bonds it hold# in the sum of $2,000,000. In
1577 the people of penn Valley, oneof the
richest valley* of the State, with the assist
ance of the Pennsylvania Kailroad, ojened
the now insolvent road from l*ewisburg, on
the Northern Central railroad, as far a#
Spring Mills, in Penn* Valley, a distance
of forty-two miles, with the intention
in the future, should business warrant the
scheme, of extending the line to Tyrone,
, <>n the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad, the entire length of the.road
,to be eighty-four mile#. Beyond the com
pleted portion there are about seventeen
tnile* of the road graded,but, a* yet, with
out *uf>cr*trurlure. The original objsvt of
the new line was to open up extensive ore
bank* located in that section of the coun
try, but the business of the road thus far
ha* been limited to the tran*porlalion of
agricultural product* down from Penn'a
Valley and carrying back coal and store
good*. The Pennsylvania Railroad really
built the line by advancing the S2,OUOJJUO
to the company and taking their first mort
gage bond* for the money *o advanced,
and the former corporation has held an
operating lease of it ever since. But the
venture thus far ha# proven unprofitable,
so much so that th* unpaid interest on
the bonds has accumulated to nearly lb
face value of the bond* themselves.
oAt last the Pennsylvania Railroad Co
mpany ha* determined to foreclose the mort-
K*fC\ wipe out the capital Mock, which re
present# only about 14190,000, and assume
the absolute ownership and management
of the branch. It will be sold at tho
Philadelphia Exchange by James A. Free
man A Co., auctioneer*, on the 13th of
next and there is no possibility of
any otia stepping in to outbid the bond
holders, to do which they must, at l**t, 1
relieve the mortgage of the load It now
carries. 1 '
