TEE EtTSPENSIoN OF f3Eb"REVMY
In our last we published the correspond
ence between President Johnson and Mr,..
Stanton', Secretary of War, the former re
questing and the latter refusing to resign his
office.' On Monday last the President a s
the responsibility of suspending Sec,'
retery Stanton, ordering .him to cease the per
formance of the functions of his office, and
to turn over the papers and property appertaillin-4
g thereto, to General Grant. In notify
ing Secretary Stanton of the President's order
tlieGemeral wrote as follows, which.wheth
er he approves of the 'Congressional policy of
reconstruction or not, is certainly, strong
testimony of the fidelity of. Mr. Stanton to
his official duties: - '
UILLIWES Amara or ins Damn Scares.
WLsirlsoros.„ D. C., August 12, 1661 i
Hon. B. M. Stanton. See-T.lw:: of War , :
Enclosed herewith I have to transmit to yoi:
copy of a letter j received from the Presiikept of'
tufted Stat or .-nottfying me of my asegnment as Acting
Sem - etary of War, and directing me to assume those
dutifs at once.
In notifying you of my acceptance, I can
not let the opportunity pass without ex.
Pressing to you my appreciation of the
• zeal, patriotism, firmness, and ability
with which you have discharged the duties
of Secretary of War.
With respect, your obedient servant, .
E. S. Gaon', General.
The fall correspondence in relation to the
--,tsitaaSpenition of Mr. Stanton we have not space
to publish. We will merely state in this eon
•,,.nection that the Secretary . very properly de
' nies the right to suspend him, and only yields.
in giving up his office, to the superior force of
the President.
Mr. Stenton's sole offence in this whole im
broglio, issimply, that he has endeavored to
execute the laws of Congress: in the matter
of reconstruction ; that he is a Republican,
antl that he interferes with Mr. Johnson's pet
policy of bringing in the unreconstructed
States as additions to the Copper-Rebel pow
er of the land.
It would have been satisfactory to the loyal
portion of the people if General Grant who
endorses Secretary Stanton's official course,
had deemed it a higher duty on his part, to
have refused to - have anything to do with the
arbitrary and illegal suspension of Mr. Stan
ton, and to have openly sustained the Secre
tary, but having done what we presume, he
deemed his duty it remains fps the Senate to
determine whether the suspension was legal.
If - fidelity to duty is a crime, Andrew John
son will be sustained in this tyrannical act by
the Senate, but we much mistake the compo
sition of that body, if it adopts Mr. Johnson's
views of the alleged misconduct of Secretary
Stanton. The tiew York Times which has
heretofore, been disposed to defend Mr. John,
son's Administration, says :
"Mr. Stanton!! removed. not for mal-administration,
or re-roption, or any -wrone-doirnz of any -sort, but
solely and simply ae a pani.,hment of sturdy thion•
ism, and his cnywidinc antagonism to the pro-rebel
policy of the President. -
It is quite likely that when the case comes
before 'the Senate, which must be within
twenty days of its convocation, it will adopt
that view, and reinstate 31r. Stanton.
Whatever may be the result, Andrew John
son by this act, which it is likely will be soon
followed by. the removal of General Sheridan
and all the loyal military district commanders
in the South, has thrown down the gauntlet
of defiance to the Congress of
. the United
States, to the representatives of the senti
ments of the people' who fought the Slave
. holders' Rebellion to a successful result. This
man has retarded reconstruction; he has
been the cause of several, terrible massacres
of Union men in the South; through hirn.loy
al people are in various sections proscribed
and trodden under foot ; he has compelled
Congress to convene in extra sessions to guard
the laws and country against his traitorous
machinations, and we believe that he would
not hesitate to plunge the nation into interne
cine strife to compass his selfish, bad pur
poses.
_ _
This stubborn, bold and wicked man has
been permitted by a too lenient, we fear
weak-kneed Congress, to go unpunished.
The repr es entatives of the people have been
far behind their censtituents on this question
of impeachment. Months since the people of
the country fully appreciated the character of
Andrew Johnson, anil recnr.„niz. , :d his revoln
tottery tendenches in the interest of red-hand
traitors. They then asked that he be-im
peached. The matter was referred to a com
mittee. That committee has abundant
eci
deuce in its possession. A long suffering and
patiest people now demand that upon the re
assembling of Congress in November, the •
House of Representatives shall prefer Arti
cles of Impeachment againt the Yresident,
and that the Senate proceed to try, convict
and depose him. Should Congress through
timidity, official patronage, .or any other un
worthy motive, hesitate or refuse to discharge
this high and sacred duty at its coming sea_
eon, the people in , their just indignation
should send the unfaithful members into pc);
'Weal obscurity.
REctyrtr h man named Dunham, or Cono
ver, whO.is ,row in the Penitentiary for per
jury, and appears to have spent his whole
time for years. in treachery, sent to the
President an application for pardon, support
ed by a pretended revelation of Radical wick
edness. He accuses Ashley, Butler, and
other Republican Congressmen of hiring him
to get Witnesees to swear falsely to.the Presi
dent's intimacy with Wilkes Booth. It would
seem surprising that Assistant Attorney-
General Binckley, who sent the revelation of
• Dunham to the President, should attach the
slightest importance 'to the assertions of the
most elaborate perjurer of the day, but we in
cline to the opinion that the whole affair was
. apiece of trickery on the part of Johnson,
intended as a blow at the friends of impeach
ment.
A Washington correspondent of the Phila
delphia Press communicates the following to
that paper in reterence to this matter :
The publication of Sanford Conover's story
about the Hon. James M.. Ashley, Judge Holt,
and other prominent opponents of the Adminis
tration, by the Atsociated Press, on Saturday het,
was anticipated in these despatches the day pre
vious, in the statement that President Johnson
had agreed to pardon e German fellow-prisoner
of Conover's provided Gest be would furnish the
material of IN hick the eo-called et artling develop
nients could be manufactured. In proof of
assertion that such au agreement was made, I
quote the following unguarded admission from
the remarks appended to the document itself by
the Assistant Attorney-General; "The papers
having come from the hands of a person-whose
application for pardon waS e _andergoing 13E641 ex
amination heref were, for very obvious reasons,
associated with it in considering the matter -
Struck by their exteaordivary chavmter, yet re
membering in how tinexpectedand casual a man
ner they had been received at the Executive of
rice, 1 immediately determined that, until I should
have made this report, their quality and signifi
cance, whatever these may be, should remain nn
changed by investigation, or by any extraneous
connection or aasociatios whatever, not only of
record, but as far as practicable; is my own mind."
The name of the prisoner referred to is Rabbe,
clisilipated fellow, who a few dace, after his re-'
lease, while under the influence of liquor, made a
Jell statement of the complicity.of the Adminis
tration in the then expected developmenteregard
ing the so-called impeachment conspiracy.. I am
authorized to deny, in tote, that any such letter
as the one attributed . to Mr. Ashley was ever
written to Judge Riddle, and also to state that, af
ter urgent eohoPation from. Mrs. Dunham, Con
- oven ' s wife, President Johnson agreed to pardon
her husband if she could obtain the recommenda
tion of Judge. Holt on his petition, which she did,
and Johnson, having inve•gled that officer into
seeming friendship for the Napoleon of perjurers
through pathetic appeals from a suffering woman,
refused to grant the petition. So fares the pub
lic belief in the statements contained in the docu
ments is concerned, no refutation of them is ne
cessary, but the debasement of the administration
in resorting to such disreputable trickery deserves
to be exposed. 'Attorney-General Stanbery is at
present absent from the city, bat on his return he
will, undoubtedly, embrace the. first opportunity
wMch offers to reprove hie assistant for - having
allowed his office to be made the medium - for the
ventilation of such absurd falsehoods. .

The author's long and varied experience in the

profusely i ) lnstratet with over two hundreden
gravings from original photographs and sketches
from the pencils of Bieretadt, Nest. Hennessy:,

GOOD STORIES. —Messrs. Ticknor and Fields,
Boston, 'have issued an initial number of GOOD
STORIES, under which title they propose to publish,
in cheap and attractive form, a valuable collec
tion of short Stories, Taloa, and Sketches. The
need of such a collection has long been felt ; for
while numerous collections of poetry have been
made, no general repertory of good atones exists.
It is not intended to, limit this collection to Eng
lish literature. It Will embrace, by competent
translations, the best and, most characteristic
short stories of all languages.
While having in view the ides of making this
collection valuable as a repertory or choice notion.,
the publishers have in mind the great need of the
traveling public for a class of reading that shall
answer for amusement in the rail-par or on the
steamboat. A large volume or a long story often
becomes wearisome to the traveler on account of
the disadvantages to which he is subjected, while
the type of many volumes renders the reading of
them impossible to not a few travelers.
' In. Goon Smarm all of these difficulties are'
• overcome. Each number is a small quarto, ap
propriately illustrated, and easy to the hand ; the
stories are choice+, and demand not too continuous
attention ;the type is large and can be 'easily reed,
and the price, Fifty Cerits per number, will place
&ion amens within the reach of all. -

delay yesterday morning. at.-iio'clock, at his resi
dence, Mauch: Chunk - street. It seems that .31r.
Thtmas had been suffering for - some'dsys pre-
VbllB to his death from rheumatism, and it is the
immsesion that the disease finally reached his
heart and. killed him. He was 46 years of age at
the time of his death, and leaves a wife and seven
children in a helpless condition. All of the chil
dren except one are small. 'We wouldurge work
ingmen in view of the uncertainty of life,.and the
proyriety and thoughtftilnees-of leaving their
families some provision, to have, their lives in
sured. Fifty - cents or a dollar a week, spent too
often uselessly if not injuriously, - would if invest
ed in a policy of life insurance, leave a. snug sum
to &family at one's death. - Workingmen, think of
,this, for the sake of your little ones. z ,

Schalk of this Borough. He, went to that City to
attend the second annual Sehutzenfest of the
-Washington Sebutzen Verein, which commenced
on Monday, sth inst. He entered the City a'
stranger, .bat before he left they found out who
he was, and that he ,vras the best 'marker:lan pre-
We will dot down. briefly, Mr. S's experience in
Washington: •
On the morning of the first day all the shooting
societies with their visitors, had a parade through
the streets of.the City, occupying from 9 to 1
o'clock. In the afternoon they went to the shalt;
lug park, dined, and had trials of skill with rifles
until '6 o'clock. The distance between the marks
maia and target Wee two hundred Yards ; he stand
ing, bat having a slight rest for his piece. Mr.
Schalk that afternoon struck the "bull's eye" for,-
ty-five timer; and often very near the centre; He.
won a
: gold medaL •
The 'shooting continued on Tuesday and Wed
iaesday. On Wenesday Mr. Schalk struck the
"bull's eye" one hundred times, again many times
near the centre,' winning .anothar gold medal.
Thursday -concluded the target-practice.
On - Friday ; after the "papers" of all the mates-.
tants during the Week had been carefully Martin
ed, it was found that. Mr. Schalk had made the
: greatest number' of centre shots and that his
average was the best. The President of the Wash

prise to 2dr. Schalk for having made three centre
shots. This consisted of a -handsome set of par
lor walnut furniture, - valued at $275. . Mr. Schalk

RDITOE B Minus! JOURNAL :—Snowing your great in
terest in the cause of Temperance and your nnswerv.‘
mg advocacy of its grand principles, I feel that it will
not be uninteresting to you to makeryou acqualutal -
-with an occurrence (favorable to the cause, and no
doubt cheering to the- members of the Order In genet.,
al), that transpired in this Borough on Saturday eve-.
nine last, the 10th mat. Before proceeding further I
would state that a short time ago a number of the em
ployees of the Palo Alto Iron Company, headed by their
Superintendent. Mr. Thos. F. Wright, conceived the
idea of forming themselVes Into a League, for the sup
pression Of the monster vice Intemperance so preva- -
lent about 'rolling -mills and iron works In general.:
They had an obligation 'drawn up and 'laced In their
office at the works, and not only the wor en were in
vited vto sign it, bat others of their neighbors and as
were requested to join with and assist •
them. - The result was in a short time the list swelled
op 'wane forty names. This was certainly very en
couraging; but arer deliberation with a few Sons of
Tem ce and the originator' of . the scheme, it was
fo that something else must be done to insure suc
cess- and what better could be done than to form it Into
a beneficial Mirka or the Sons of Temperance The
consequence was that application was madsf -to the
Grand- Divierkm• of the State of Pennsylvania for. a
Ctutrter to' open a Division here ; it was Immediately
granted,' and on the evening above mentioned: Sharp
Mountain . Division,. No: GT, Sons of Temperance of
Palo Alto, was opened in due form and solemnity by
G. W. A., Jacob G. Wentz, of -Reliance Division,. No.
In, of Port Carbon, assisted by delegations from Potts.
Minersvllle and Port Carbon. There were be
tween thirty and forty name" on the application nearly_
all of whom were Initiated; The exercises passed off.
very pleasantly, and we trust It will be remembered.
and their obligations kept inviolateas long as life shall
last The officers elect for the present quarter are as

eve ymns ago, to the course 'of professlocal date: I
discovered the Philadelphia la Reiscileg Railroad
Onnilany , in addition to having neared some shorter
local roads In this limit*, had leased the kfahanoy and
Broad ,Mountain Bead leading into and havereang a'
large pertkm of the Valiancy coal .field. • Moneta
saw in this ach• the too malted evidence of the =policy
on the part of the Philadelphia and Reading Company,
to absorb allot:our numerous' loc*i reads. and
eto mo
nopolies all tonportailon from the cliAve
gion. -.At once, s
aotwithstanding certain professional
relations; I announced to the prominent , officeire and
' directing minds of this corporation, .eay, unqualified
hostility. to' such a policy. , The ' unctoption of the
hisinnoy sad Broad Mountain road, was followed by .a
. system of tactics on the part of the - Reading Company.
•to knock down the suit of the .road, 7 -at
first, over $OO per share,. till it ..fell 'to about:6lo per
share.. Durkee this process the President of the Read
ing. disclosed" his purp:se. to knock. it down to about
$3O per eitare: , and then buy it np ayd let the Reading'

Reading - stocks advanced millions:, One • manager of
the Heading—the aforesaid Third street broker—made
half a Million, and the brohers-in-law aforesaid con
gratulated themselves that their imitate fortunes - had
been snatched from the rapacious maw of the Reading. •
- The Reading having thus secured the control'of the
Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River' Road, at once dis
missed the -contractco§, stopped supplier., and 'abar.-
'denied the route utterly:. In theta circumstances an
other railroad company, after the time limited for the
completion of this road to the' Lehigh River bad ex
pired, took posseesion of its road; bed and Proposed to'
finish it.. The Reading Company' applied for and se
cured an injunction from the Supreme. Court on the
ground that although the time for completing the road
bad expired, no one but the : Commonwealth could take
advantage of the fact. I will not dispute this is not good
law, but in this thee It worked great harm to the com
munity.. While this new company held poesession a
large meeting of the business men of this Region was
held at the Pennsylvania Hall, to aid in the completion
of this road to the Lehigh. At this meeting the late la:
mented Bard - Patterson, Req., presided. An addrets
was - prepared,. drafted I may say, by the humble hid!.
ideal whore:l'w addresses you, in which was foretold
the very evils that now are nron this community. •

many who. have it now wonder where it will come
from a month hence, and before - .all are the: privations

• says better: carry a small tonnage and make large pro
fits, than carry double that tonnage et half that profit.
Doubtless, this contracted, eelfish policy; that ignores .
the obligatiens •and duties of the corporation to the.
public, is part of the reason for its course of action.—
lint it is not the only one. There is the purpose to get
the power to buy : and sell coal. -Then our ruin will be
complete. To accomplish this final. act in our ruin the
Reading must have more legislation. It must secure
theLegisiativerepresentatives fromSchttylkill County,
'and to attain this object it has fairly entered the field
to control the politica of the County, by its contractors
and mercenaries. • -

Thus, a company to make a abort road frowileading

railroad companies, and now has a length of ; track
equal to three times thelength Of the main reed of the

the Heading Company. as Woreltdat, 42 patrols the

to eve a per cent: of tonnage to the Schuylkill Canal,.
from let April to 15th December of each year, or pay
25 cents for each ton the Navigition.Company fails .to
get .of that proportion.. These twenty roads em
brace every outlet to market from the'. Schuylkill coal
region. • And' thus are our people bound in iron bonds
to the servitude of this monster corporation. For be

with that of the Reading, the fact would appear to be .

But, this corporation takes half the coil from 'a

will pay for It. If one of us would thus appropriate
our neighbor's property, - ' no such , excuse Would avail to
save as fromeonvittion and sentence for larceny. But
how'does the Company pay? Letme illustrate from a
am that occurred., In 1665 the Company said to *coal
operator, put in your bid for Co al-for our engine s. -He
did bid at $5 per ton. The Company's cars then came.
-and took away the coal.'.. The operator sent in bill at
$5 per ton as per bid.-The Company Sends check at
$e 50, with
. a memage.from a chief officer that if you
don't take half priceit will be worse for you.: Opera
tor understands, thee' if he don't take half, mice, the
company' will discover he done need any cars for , a

-contact price.:-Thinks he hail learned- a lesson and
puts to no morobids. Next day begets a hill supply
of cars: sends off a train to Richmond. - He gets a re.
turn of only half a train. . - He enui as to the other
half, and duds the Company hae -t ak en the other half.
Again they seed check for half price. Operator lcses
the other half for fear he wiil get no more are. • He to
mon. Bate Mt. Corporation, let me tell you when the
day of reckoning comes, and come it will and Soon too, -
these gross wrongs willturn to rend you. •
Probably the worst wrongs •of which this Company,
has been guilty have been perpetrated neon . particular
property owners and upon entire communities by. its
conduct in relation to the Auburn and Allentown
and the Schuylkill Haven and Leant River roads.
At, a cost of $300,060. this_ Company bought up the
control of the Auburn and Allentown, and Coy agreeing
to pay eight per cent. 'atinually , on about $200,000, It
boo up the • Schuylkill- Haven and Lehigh River
At - the time of these purchases ' •tesPectkele,
the roadbeds of the severalroads load progressed far.
toward completion: - The property of individuals all
along froth lines had been taken under the eminent '
doniaideof the CoMmonwealtb, conferred on these
companies respectively- ' These properties were there-
fore necessarily taken only In the language of the Con
stitution, aforpublic use." ' , • -
-No sooner bad the Reading Company bought up
the control of these reale, as before stated, than it at
once dismissed the contractors. and stopped all work
on the Several roads.. - These roads would have given
us a connection with the Lehigh. Valley cheap, trans
portation. and a trade open for twelve months In
stead of eight. -- .. The Reviling Company obteired this
• coutrol at the cost of at least half a million of dollars,
for the deliberatigurpoo of preventing thsie roads
from ever hely built-a purpose that was a monstrous
fraud on every . property owner whose land - had been
taken and settled for fund whose lot or farm had been
thee disfigured) as also upon the entire' community.-
It was a fraud upon such pronerty owners, because in
the settlement of damages the value. to him of the
finished road bad been first deducted. In the appraise
meta of mien damages the viewers or Jurors are always
sworn to deduct the advantages of the road. This
'means the finished raid; otherwise there ran he no ad
vantages. . ' - • • . .
Whenever, therefore, the Company settled for snch
damages, the contract legally interpreted, was an
. agreement with each property owners to. give 'him a
then shed road.
ese Bsides too; when the State conferred
right on th e corporations tie take private proper
ty, it was on the bees or contract on their part to make
and complete a road "for public wee' On no other
hypothesis! could even the State confer' such right. ' It
follciwe, therefore, that - when these.cerporatlona took
such lands, they contracted with the State to Make a
road "for public use," and would, therefor., necessarily
'goon to complete It. The Reeding Company I charge,
' (and declare myself ready to estrblish it in the courts,
• and declare' .I - shall meet them there on - these very
points,) bought up these roads with the sole enrpose of
preventing any road from being finished. - ,Tens it wre
that charged with a great duty, undertaken for - a full
consideration, it perpetrates a' wicked fraud on each
property owner, and upon the entire community. It
won't do for the Reading to expect' to escape punish

ments and not eeeeever that It is their deliberate per
e to - substantially opwn the - !andel pemerty o e
klirtylklll County witholit paying for it-aMply by ta.
king it. They , have become dexterous in this art, as
Illustrated before In regard to their *method of getting
coal for their own uses. Having found it easy of
ac
complishment on a small sada, they now propoae it; on .
a grand one.
Our landed property by careful estimate. I allege Is
' worth $100,000,000. In these dots of ffilibusfering, the
Reading has snuffed up the contagion and sees before
-it a grand prize. It htie seen examples in the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western 'and in the Delaware
and Hudson Canal and „Coal Company-Companies
that by the possession and- exercise of the power to
buy and sell Coal have abessrbed all the profits of cep.
fain lands more effectnelly ' thae if they owned them, -
while the land own er (nominally) gets 10 cents per
ton rent, and the ' 'coal operator loose miner for these
companies in fact) - makes ten cents per ton profit.-
'
Thew companies get all the Coal they produce at lees
rates than if they owned the lands and incurred the ex.
pates and risk of mining through agenta ier contract.
The operation Is this, ,, -The 'operator, lays I want my
coal carried e very well; we will carry it,' but aa we are
not limitedour charges
„for transportation , we ask
$5 per ton. That's an impossible price says the ope
rator, for all I can get for the ' coal will not pay that
c li
sum and the cost of mining. - We know that very well
replies the mpanye but then wit will bay your coaL
Very well ea a the %orator, what will you glve, it the
pit's month? $l. 10 -per ton replies the convent , . It'
can't be produced for that. The company thus sees
how much by exercising economy and good judgment
it costs the operator to produce the coal -provided
*aye the wages he pays are itt the starvation, point
for the miner and laborer. - . - .- • • '
. • • Having.figured this up, that's the. price of the
coal. The operator takes it. Why t- •He nes vo can
im.ctreroms be must either take it or let the coal ree
main in the ground. • Think you if the Company mewl
tbo land anti contracted out the mining of the coal they
would get it as cheap ? - Our experience here tells us
at once.that they would not. By therefore. holding the
exclusive control of the .transportation; and the power
to'buy and sell coal, does sot the Company for all par
roses of profit, as• effectually own the land as if they
held deeds ill fee simple -for them?' -Depend upon it, '
my friencleethe Beating' Company propose to imitate
the example of the other Comperiles I have named who
. pewees. We piewes. - They have noticed how. the Dela
ware, Lackawanna' and Western cleared in 1884 over
$7,000,000. You don't find this fact in their reports to
the legislature, for they keep two accounts-one the
railroad, which is made to lose, and that - they report to -
the Legislature, and pay taxes accordingly-the other
the - 'coal department?' which makes all the money; and
by it also they contrive to mad: paying to our State the
prover taxes. • • •
With them exaMples before: hem. I assume the Read
ing Company wants our slett,ooo,ooo, and if any coal
operator would boldly say no, to it, they would stop his
cars to-morrow. This stopping of the car business will
be the- subject' of another indictment. at the peoper
time. _ What do '.we say to this modest movement 1 -
Will we submit to it ? . Will we have our coal rents cut
down to 10 yenta per. ton? The operator to 10 cents
profit ? • (That's more than be makes just now). Our
miners and laborers cut down lo starvation rates
