WRY STANTON WAS REMOVED
The text of President Johnson's commu
nication to the Senate relative to the removal
of Secretary Stanton, is published, and con
firms the dispatches sent from Washington
'last week. He refer; in detail to matter' , of
personal difference, and says "there was such
a total want of harmony between us as to
render it highly improper that Mr. Stanton
should remain in the Cabinet." The Presi
dent refers to Stanton's testimony on recon
struction matters before the Judiciary Com
mittee, and charges him with misrepresenta
tion ; and further says that at the beginning
the Secretary endorsed' his policy, but that
afterwards he did nothing but embarrass the
prosecutioiA of Presidential reconstruction.
He refers to the New Orleans riot, and by itn
plication charges their responsibility upon
Stanton, who knew, he says,, that a riot was
iikely.to occur; and he further asserts that
the Secretary withheld from him all the dis
patches in relation thereto for ten or twelve
days. The following clause in the 3lessage
• will be read with general interest :
"When the duties of the Presidential offire
devolved upon , him the great duty of the
time was to re-establish a government of law
and order in (lie insurrectionary States. The
first business transacted in the Cabinet after
I became President was this unfinished busi
nnss of my predecessor. A plan or scheme of
reconstruction was produced which had been
proposed for Mr: Lincoln by Mr. Stanton,
, his Secretary of War. It was approved, and
) t
at the earliest moment practicable MIS .ap
lied in t le fain of a proclamation-to the
state of 'orth Carolina, and afterward be
came th basis of action in turn for the other
• States." ;
Thu President states that the. great differ
ence of opinion with Stanton was on the
District of Columbia suffrage and the He
constructiOn bills of March, '67, the vetoes of
which were opposed by the latter, although
all the other Cabinet members supported the
President. He reviews the relations be
tween the Executive and the heads of the
departments, and quotes• front the old records
of Congress and the debates in the National
Constitutional Convention to prove the ille
gality of the efforts to check the respot-ibili:
tv of the Pri;cident by depriving him of 'the,
right of selecting his agents, and eoneltulci
by sayingithat as far asthe public interest;
are conce*ncd, there is no cause to regret the
removal cif Mr. Stanton, for Gen. Grant has,
by his measures of economy, saved millions
.of dollani to the government. He presses
with enemy: the-point that the Secretary was
the lending Cabinet officer in the'expresgion
of opposition to the tenure-of-offlee bill, and
says it ''was surprising to him that Stanton
should be the first one to seek to avail him
._ sell of its provisions. Ile alludes to Stanton's
expressions of a willingness to resign, hut
_ says when he intimated, and finally asked
him to resign, hi. declined. It will be recol
- leeted that the President, for considerations
of a high character, requested Stanton to re
sign his office, and that the latter in - ft.ply,
quoting the phrase of the President,, said
- that considerations of a high character alone
had induced him to continue at the head of
the department, and constrained him not to
resign the office of Secretary of War before
the next meeting , of Congress. This, the
President says, was not merely a declination
of compliance with the request for his resig
nation, but was a defiance. Whatever pn,
priety there might be in the expressions of
opinions of others, one thing was certain, it
was official misconduct, to say the least of it;
to parade them before his superior offiter,
and showed a want of proper 'dignity and re•
speet for the President.
GRANT WILL NOT RUN AS A PARTY
CANDIDATE
The following letter is published in the N.
Y. Tribune of Saturday. It was written by
Gen. Dent, a brother-in-law of Grant's, a
member of his staff, and his especially inti
mate companion, to a gentleman in New
York city. The Tribune looks. upon the let
ter- as a reliable exposition of Gen. Grant's
position, and infers from it that he will not
accept the Radical nomination for the Presi
dency :
DEAR S.: * • * To be quite frank with
you, Gen. Grant does not wish to be either
the Republican or the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. He Would prefer to be
elected by the people, without any. reference
to the present party organizations. If it is
possible, let there be a new Drgamization, rep
resenting the people and not the politichms.
The General-is now in a position which suits
him verywell, and he will not give it up un
lesi he thinks he can. be of more service to
his country. He will not take the Presidency
if he cannot enter upon his office unpledgeil
and-unembarrassed by party affiliations and
platforms. He does not want to decide upon
questions of public policy until they come up
for settlement, and hence his reluctance to be
questioned as to platforms, or confined to cer
tain lines of action. He has definite views of
his own, which are tolerably well expressed
in an article Written by a young friend of his
for the January number of the Galaxy. Of
course, he must not be held responsible for
all the iiewat herein expressed, but it gives
about what lie thinks of the Present political
situation.
While demanding perfect- freedom of ac
tion for himself, Gen. Grant dues not wish to
art independent of the people. - His care
would be, if elected, to study their interests
and wishes, and do for them - about what they
wanted to do for themselves. - Let party
questions enter into the CaIWASS for Con
gressmen, - and whatever the Will of the
people-is, the General will try rtn , l loyally
obey it.
On one point the General iS quite clear, If
elected, he will make no appointments on se
, count of political services. lie believes that
a reform of the civil service, such as that em
bodied in Mr. Jenckes' bill of last session; is
of vital moment, awl all he will ask of any
candidate for position is honesty and capap T
ity.
You may use this note among friends, and
if they think Gen. Grantcan be elected with
out reference to either of the existiii - g, parties,
let them go ahead ; bat I again repeat, Gen.
Grant does not care Am. the Presidency if it
is to be the gift of mfarty. • Yours, &e.,
THE PACIFIC EtA:ILROAD.
The perseverance of the Union Paeitic
Railroad Conipany, in the face of many ob
stacles, has carried the line to a point nearly
five hundred and twenty miles West of Oma
ha, beyond Cheyenne, to the Western base
of the Rocky Mountains. The Central Paci
fic Railroad or California had reached, on
October 7, a point within eleven miles of - the
summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, one
hundred and five miles from Sacramento, at
an' elevation of 7,042 feet above the sea.
These two thoroughfares, destined to meet
• each' other at some undecided point in the
midst of the far 'Western wastes, have al
ready reduced the time consumed in the
overland journey to California one week..
The mails from China and Japan . now ar
rive in fifteen days from San Francisco. Be
fore, it took from twenty-one to twenty-four
' days to•bring them by sea,and often a long
er period to bring them on the overland
stages. Both the new roads more than pay
their present operating expenses. On the
• Ist of July, the receipts of_the Union Pacific
Road,; then in operation to Julesburg, 377
. miles, amounted to $1,015,105.29, and its ex
penses to $658,880.54 ; leaving the net earn
ings $356,314.75. The net earnings of the
Central Pacific Road during 1805,1806, and
1867 to September, *ere *51,550,690.29, and
during 186 Z alone, to that date, $606,852.40.
The remaining eastern branches of the Pa
cific Railway exhibit more or less satisfacto
ry returns.
Tai New York Times says the monopoly
of publicly thanking God for party triumphs,
which has SQ long been enjoyed by chaplains

of the Radical Republicans" in that State
was "laid over nuder the rules,"
A STOUIt,.*ITR , A M9IIJIAL
There was max a' little 'boy who lived'in a
large white hotise on the hank of a swift
river. He was a round, Chubby little fellow,
but he had neither father nor mother, and
grew up like boys who have no fathers nor
mothers some times do. • Infaet he was quite
headstrong at times, and often did things
that alarmed his friends very much.
There was alto another boy inn town by a
vast Lake. He was a strapping big boy, 'with
fists like elephant's feet, and as too many
big boys are, (and some little ones, too) gen
erally very conceited.
The name of the short, stout boy crag
Andy ; that of the great burly boy was Dig:
patch ; their other names I don't recollect.
Now it happened that Andy had a fine
apple orchard, of which he was very prima.
And when Dispatch came along that way
one day n ith a great .crowd of other bad
boys, and tried to climb over the gate into
the orchard, Andy set his dogs On them,
and stood at the gate and wouldn't let them
go in. This made the had boys so mad they
turned red in the face, and allied Andy all
sorts of wicked names, and said ,they would
go in any how. But Andy stood firm, and
they were afraid Of the dogs and the club he
held in his hand.
The anger of the bad boys grew worse and
worse, and they were bent on having the ap
ples at any cost. They drew aside to talk
the matter over. At last says one, "I'll tell
von how we can do it ; you boys (naming
about two-thirds the crowd) go to that part
of the fence and worry the dogs; and we .
(naming Dispatch and other) will sneak
back of the orchard, creep up on our bellys
and suddenly spring on Andy and throw him
out in the road." At this, all the bad boys
sung out "agreed," and Dispatch's voice was.
heard.the loude - st of all.
13y, chance, though, Addy overheard this
talk, Ind while the bad boys Jere going off.
on their object, he quietly slipped to the
fields near by, and collected a lot of boys,
who were his friends, arid they all went with
him to the gate. When the bad hays got
their plans all ready they looked towards
the gate and were touch surprised to see that
Andy's forces were stronger than theirs. So
they gave it up as a bad j0b...110.1 ran away
to hide thenweires behind the trees and
And when they did this Andy's friends
saw them, and taunted ther' with their want
of pluck, calling them: to COM(' on if they
dared. The wicked boys f; , lt so badly over be
ing beaten at their 41%%11 game that after re
turning home they began quarrelling among
themselves. A call was made for the boy,
who bad spoken before, but he had hurried
away and s gone to bed. Then they all com
menced abusing him soundly for getting
themp so mean a scrape, and not one was
willlg say that he had ever agreed to
help in carrying jt out.. Strange to say, too,
Dispatch was again the noisiest of the crowd.
He poked - fun at the boy who had hid under
- the bed, said he never did like him, and
hinted that he ought to ' , have a severe pound
ing for his conduct. When the other boys
heard this, they all joined in calling - their
leader hard names, and the last I learned of
them there was not, one who was willing to
admit that he had?ever' tried to drive little
Andy away from the orchartfgate.
3fY dear children, youurmust take care how
you get in company with bad boys, for they
will be sure to lead you into evil places, and
leave yon to get out the best way you can.
THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE
' The politics of the country are in a state of
evident transition. All that can as yet he
affirmed with confidence respecting the new
phase is, that the negro question will be
eclipsed by questions 'of finance. The num
ber of financial propositions broached on the
first day of the session attests the deep inter
est the country is beginning to take in that
class of topics.
Questions of finance irresistibly . force
themselves into prominence after great wars.
For the ten years after the overthrow of Na
poleon, they predominated in the politics of
England and convulsed the country as it had
not been convulsed in the colossal struggle of
the preceding twenty years. After our war of
the Revolution, it was financial questions that
shattered and overthrew the Confederation,
and led to the formation of the present Con
stitution. Those same financial question',
were inherited by the new Overnment, and
the policy of Hamilton by which they were
met and solved, was debated with altogether,
more beat than any other questions of tho:
period. After the 'close of our second war
with Great Britain, the same class of ques
tions loomed into prominence,and continued
to agitate the country with little cessation for
the ensuing thirty years until the slavery
question and the Mexican war supplanted
them by engrosiing the public interest. The
tariff and currency questions rocked the
country from side to side ; and the three
statesmen of that period, whose names were
in all mouths, expended their best energies in
financial controversies. Our own history aind
that of England proves that such topics arc
capable of stirring public feeling to its pro
foundest - depths. In fact, most of the great
events of modern times have turned on them.
The French Revolution grew out of the finan
cial difficulties, which led to the convoking of
the States-General. The greatest of all the
English revolutions, that which beheaded
Charles the First, and introduced the protec
torship of Cromwell, had its source in finan
cial difficulties between Charles• and Parlia
ment. We are in the dawn of un era when
financial divemisigns will agitate the country
more Ileeply than 'in the time of Jlamilton,
More deeply than in the days of Andrew
Jackson, when they came near lighting the
torch of civil discord. Most public questions,
have only a distant interest for the great body
of the people; ; these. come home to every
man's business and fireside.
That they have not sooner risen into ab
sorbing prominence is due to the pre-occupa
tion of the country with the draggling se
quences of the war. Wars commonly end
by a definite treaty of pence, in which the
future relations of the parties are settled, and
all questions connected with the conflict
closed. Haul our civil war come to a like
clean result, we should long ago have been
in the midst of exciting financial discussions;
they would have been two years ago what
they are presently, to become, the pivot of
politics. These questions are too pressing to
be longer deferred, and although the future
relations of the parties to the late war are
not yet settled, they will sink, before the win- 1
ter is half spent, Into subordination to the
topics which must for some yesrs be supreme
in our politics.—A F. World.
REDUCING THE ARMY.
One of the most pleasing signs of tee times,
well calcidated to relieve the ominous pres
sure in business circles, is the proposal of the
Secretary of War ad interim to reduce. the
army appropriations. The estimates for mil
itary service for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1808, were at first based on a calcula
tion of about $1,000,000, but an aggn.gate
deduction of nearly $16,000,000 is now con
sidered practicable, "caused by suspending
enlistments until the army is brought to its
authorized minimum strength, at which it is
now proposed to keep it." This is indeed
cheering intelligence not only to tux payers,
but to all who desire the restoration of friend
ly relations between different parts of - the
federal Union. It is obvious that the pres
ence of any considerable military force, ex
cept among the Indian!, is wholly superflu
ous. Scarcely in a single instance since the
close of the war has there been a disturbance
In the Southern States which the local au
thorities were not able but ready to suppress.
Thet army should be reduced to a peace
standari, anti then Congress would give the
mat* peace. • .

is, that the General's policy was dictated by

groes have deposited in Savings Banks, dur

Then it isn't necessary to tax the whites fif
teen millions more to support the freedmen's

A 60011 deal of needless discussion is
wasted by the Radical managers in an eU'ort
to account for the rapid decline nt their-par
ty scheme of impeachment. The explanation
of its disease is simple enough. 'lt is stricken
with the rat. p(lntli. That is more thud to
Radicalism than the egmito to yellow fever

CHICAGO has been fixed on as the place
and the 20th of May next as the time, at
which will be held the Republican Nation
al Convention for the nomination of a Presi
dential ticket. It is asserted that the party
leaders intend admitting the South ton rat ,-
resentation in the Convention.
WE agree with the- Buffalo Courier that
the nest nominee of. the Democracy tor Pres
ident should he the man who can the most
certainly carry the Northern States and who
will stand squarely upon the platform of Na
tional Unity, Constitutional Liberty and the
nights of Individuals and State.

sure about her presents—because he has no
tir ife."
Mns.. 'Ascots once procured the arrest
and incarceration as a State prisoner of a

she were the wife of the Government now,
one were equally vindictive, the nether gar
ment of every Republican editor in the land
would flutter from the cascmates of Fort La
fayette or the windows of the Old Capitol
prison, .
TIM friends of Chief Justice Chase are ac
tively engaged in urging the claims of that
gentleman to the Radical nomination for the
next Presidency. It is asserted that he can
corrnnandthe entire New England vote in
the convention, and that by putting Fenton,
or some other New Yorker, on the ticket, the
New York • delegation will support -him.
Grant stock is considered much lower than it
was a month ago.
Tim New York Church Union comes out
strongly in favor of Fred. Douglass as the
Republican candidate for President. It says,
"the white man cannot be trusted in tliis
emergency." It thinks Douglass would not
only be sure to receive the entire negro vote
of the Southern States, but the whole of thg
New -England States, except Connecticut,
and a sufficient number. of the .extreme
Northwestern States to insure his election.
IT Is rather amusing to see that the two
gravest charges against the President in the
impeachment indictment were.for acts com
mitted by the fiercest Radicals, or at their re
quest, namely: the transfer of Southern rail
road propertY—done by ,Mr. Stanton—and
the pardon of late rebels, granted upon the
solicitation of Gen. Grant and Radical mem
bers of Congress. • •
THE Union League of Philadelphia were
not unanimous in the nomination of Grant.
In fact the members were nearly evenly di
tided, and the feeling between them was and
still is most bitter. It is said the division
thus begun is likely to lead to an open split
in the party in Philadelphia. The split will
be an ugly one, and white men can afford to
laugh at it.
WHEREVER there is ignorance," says the N.
Y. Tribune, "there is peril to the cause of
good government and to the institutions of
the country." Most true ; and yet the Tri
bune demands * that suffrage shall be forced
by military power upon the blacks of the
South, and that there shall be no civil gov
ernment in the dismantleil States unless it is
controlled by them. s It follows that the Tri
bune is an enemy to the cause of good gov
ernment and to Republican institutions.
THE impeachment evidence, which the
Government printers are now Putting into
book form at the expense of the taxpayers,
will number about three hundred and fifty
pages. The expense of printing, witness
fees, ecc.,will amount perhaps to over two hun
dred thousand dollars. This is paying rath
er dear for the whistle. The next Congress
should assess this whole amount
_upon the
property of the projectors of that scheme to
usurp por,c r for themselves and party.
• GEN. (7rncir might do more at this mo
ment to re-assure the country and prevent
probable disaster, than any man • living. As
he seems to possess the confidence of the
Republican leaders, he could say to them in
a few words and without damage to himself,
stop your reckless and destructive attempts
to break up the country and confine legisla
tion to its appropriate functions, and if it did
damage his prospects for the Presidency, it
is his duty to declare it anyhow. The inter
ests of the whole people are everything, Gen.
Grant is as nothing. Will he interpose?
Tut•: fitly-seven impeachers are being made
very sick of their late scheming• against the
character of the • President and the peace of
the country. Democrats are quiet, but the
Republican members allow the plotters very
little peace, as they are constantly taunting
them with their failure, and predicting for
them political repudiation at home.

A COLORED girl living about three miles
from Macon, Miss., having been threatened
by her parents in case the. child with which
she was eneieute should be white, which, at
its birth, it proved to he, strangled it -in
the woods, where it was partly devoured by
hogs,-•
A troop woman in New York was lately
ejected from the store of her employer be
cause she refused to accept 2ii cents for mak

her price r 32 cents. There is a hot. place
awaiting that man.
L'i a lawsuit at Troy,N. Y., where the Val
ue of six ducks in controversy was to de
pend on their age, the point was decided by
bringing the ducks into :the court of Justice
Neon, and made to squawk. The noise they
made decided them to be over one year old,
and consequently the value of mature fowls.
Justice Neary so decided the case. It is the
first suit on record where ducks were called
to testif:v.
A (moo looking girl called at Mrs. CaYan
augh's in Chicago, Sunday morning, and ob
tained leave to rest herself. In twenty min
utes a boy was added to the population of
the city, and while Mrs. Cavanaugh, in great
surprise, went about the house looking up
things for the 'young gentleman's comfort,
the girl left the house and boy, and has not
been found yet. • .
A sr ft.s..tsonte from a Northern clime ar
riving in New Orleans a few days agp,..says
the Picayune, would fancy he bad dreamed
away the winteri and suddenly awakened in
the spring time of the year. The air is as
balmy as ever kissed the flowers of May, and
it is difficult to realize that Christmas is so
near at hand. The warm, damp weather is
unseasonable and disagreeable, however, and
the thick clothing which ivas donned during
a recent cold snap is now anything but com
fortable. Many of the trees still retain their
green foliage and the roses and lilies are, all
in bloom. , .
NEGRO Otrrnaifk.—Tire are Informed that
a most diabolical outrage „was perpetrated
upon the person of a young girl residing in
Union township; Adams county, on the 20th
ult., the particulars of which are as follows:
"At the time mentioned a young girl by the
name of Oren, about sixteen years old, was
assaulted by a negro,wlin pinioned her arms,
placed a gag in her mouth, and then fbreibly
violated her person. It appears this outrage
was committed in *the house in Which the
girl lived, during the absence of the other
members of the family. The black fiend fled,
but was subsequently captured and taken
before ajustiee of the peace, who placed the
rascal In custody of a constable to betaken.
to the county prison, On their way to Qet-.
tysburg the e prisoner managed to make his
escape, and is still at large. The victim was
very much Injured, and has been in a suffer
ing condition,ever York Gazelle.
RELIGIONIN TIIE:VNITED STATES.—The
religious condition of the United States was
the subject ore report recently made by an
American clergyman of the Evangelical Al-,
liance General Conference, in session at Am
sterdam. From this it appears that in this
country Catholics are the largest denomina
tion, having 4,000,000 members and 3,800
churches. The lllethedists • come next with
2,000,000 membership and 10,460 churches.
The Baptista are third, 1,690,000 members
and 17,220 churches. Next- come the 'Pres

then the Gennan Reformed th 1;160 churches,
and 110,000 members, and the Dutch Re

ONE - TOO MANY IN TILE BED.—A gentle
man in Dayton, O.; became so much enam
ored of his hired cirl that he concluded to
elope with her. This he effected with ease,'
for, "Barkis being willing," there was noth
ing to interfere. On Sunday night they
took lodgings at a .boarding house, as man
and wife, and., being weary, were lighted to
bed. They bad not long - been under the
cover, when the true wife, who, having fol
lowed, .got wind of their whereabouts,
made her appearance. She demanded to

and insisted upon getting bed with her
husband. This he and his paramour de
murred to, but the wife insisted, and. suiting
the action to the will, actually got in bed
and remained there until about two o'clock
Monday morning. The husband, finding
all resistance hcipeless, proposed to go home
with his spouse. The offer was accepted,
and all three of them made their way home.
• A GIRL was wronged by a Man in ra
Porte, Ind. When its full extent became
known, she procured a large bowie-knife,
anti sought htm out. She found him in an
outhouse, and sprang upon him. He fled to
the house, and she followed. As she ran she
picked up some boulders. He fastened him

entered. He crouched into a corner, and she

you will only stop." She stormed, and they
were married that night. The excitement
brought together-a large crowd.
LKW arrrs are often unprofitable things.
A Vermont paper tells of a trial al law be
tween two men in that State, about a sheep.
worth five dollars, the ownership of which
was disputed. The ease was heard twice.
and the plaintiff recovered-sll6.s6.damagetr
and costs of the defendant ; whilst the plain
tiff, although successful, wasstill out of pock
et some two hundred and fifty -dollars for
lawyers' fees. Each of the disPutants,

imal.
A pREADFI'L railroad accident, (so-called)
occurred on the Vermont (Wand Railroad
on the 11th inst. A car, containing seventy
rive men, employed in repairing a bridge re 7
cently burned, was backed off the abutment,
through
. the carelessness• of the engineer.
About a score of unfortunate men met in ,
slant death, and almost all of the remainder
received serious injuries.-
EARS ago 'Ned Buntline' was :t notorious
person, but for some time he has disappeared
from public gaze. Tie was last -heard of as
having attained the rank of "Deputy Grand
Worthy Patriarch of the Westehesterian
Sons of Temperance."
Tin'. grumblers. are . everywhere and they
seize upon everything which goes wrong, to
find fault about. If a mosquito flits across
their pillow, the announcement is made next
morning that not a wink of sleep had they
during themight. A slight pain is magnified
into cholera, and a•grumfiling toothache in
to excrutiating 'torture. If the sun shines it
is too hot, and if rain falls it is too wet. If
they lose a dollar, ruin stares them in the
face, and anticipated sickness is kept con-
Itatitly on the slate.' Erie is cursed with its
(till proportion of the genus, anti they are
bot all outside of the Dernocnitic party.
