If in a lew days there is no improvement in his health he will be continued in command of tho Department ot the Cumberland and Gen. llaneock will be assigned to coin maud tho Fifth district, and Sheridan to tho Missouri Department. Tho President has no iutcntion of making n wholesale removal of district comman ders as suggested in somo quarters. So far as Schoibld and others aro concern ed, there is positively no such purpose, nor is it at all likely Pope will bo dis turbed. As to Pickles, there is strong proba bility ot his being relieved. Your cor. respondent (who has for some days known the character of the correspond ence between the President aud General Graut relative to the suspension of If truitou aud removal of Sheridan, tut is enjoined nevertheless to woke no men tion of the matter, because Mr. Johnson regarded it us Dot intended for publica tion") is uow permitted to sty that the' Generals letters are uiurkcd pnvato. aud thercforo ouly doos the President withhold the matter from tho press. In the first instance it was not ezpocted that the subject would assuuio a form of official correspondence. Just before the suspension of Mr. Stanton, Mr. Johnson had a communication on the eubjoot from Gen. Grant, giving reasons why he thought contemplated action bad letter be abandoned. To this note a reply was made by Mr. Johnson. Whan the order for Sheridan's removal was sent to Grant, notifying him of the Presidents intention, he was informed that if he had any suggestions to make Mr. Johnson would be glad to hear them. The purpose of this note was to know whether probably some other successor for Sheridan might be named. Gen. Grant replied in an argu ment atraiust Sheridan's removal. To this the President answered somewhat at length. The character of the corres pondence on both sides was energetic aud firm, but courteous withal. Among tho many amusing things in politics, nothing so mnch excites the risibilities of ordinary readers as the howling of tho Pharisees on account of the manner in which tbo Democratic press is handling their " nutmeg " can didate for the Supreme Bench.

For weeks after his nomination these papers teemed with abuse and slanders. And now when they find that " there are blows to receive as well as blows to give," wheu they aro made senyble of the vulnera bility of thei r own candidate, they roll their Pharisaical eyes and hold np their hands in holy horror at the course of tho Democratic journals towards Jndgo Wil liams of Couueciieut. The present campaigu has taught the Pharisees oue solemn lesson which they will do well to take heed of in future, that " curses ' like little chickens, always come home " to roost."

Some of the wiser anion them wero dissatisfied with the man, but as ho was vouched for by re spcctable parties who hid . knowu bini before tho war, he was allowed to occu py a pulpit in one of the churches from time to time. While engaged in expound ing tho word, ho was observed to often cast admiring glauces at the young ladies of the congregation. Beforo long ho was walking homo with them from church, and tthorwise making himself agreeable, To ono of these young ladies ho gradually bcoamo accustomed to pay devoted attention. The young lady was pleased with Such unmista kable marks of admiration from a minister of tho Gospol and suffered herself to bo prevailed on so far as to givo her consent that a marriage should tako place between them. The time set was tho Tuesday beforo tbo 4th of July, and the two wore about to depart for Pennsylvania, where tho knot could be tied without the formality of a licsnse. but n male volativo of tho girl got home that day from a trip to the river in timo to prevent tho intended elopement, aud happiness was deferred lor a time. Ou the Thursday after the " Fourth " the preacher and tho girl succcodcd iu gettipg away to Independence, Pennsylvania, wnero they were made man and wifo. In that place they re mained during the night, tho groom, from excessive drunkenness, riclined at fall length upon the floor of the room. Tho next day the couple returned to West Liberty. Until the Tuesday succeeding all went " merry as a marriage bell." Little did the new wifo think of the fato that was to befall her. On that day Hovey was riding through tho country with a party ot gentlemen, and, coming to a road leading to Wollsburg, suddenly put spurs to his horso and disappeared iu a cloud of dust.

We ob serve by his handbills that he iutends making a raid upon us during this and next week, to learn how many fools are still alive in this county whom he! can plunder for the third or fourth time. This man Jackson is the left bower to tho oelcbratee urigcopian individual who eloped from this vie'roky a short time ago. Theso publio plunderes, we are aware, cannot be indicted for highway robbery ; but when they make a raid through a neighborhood, they acconis plish just what a highwayman does : tako your money without an equivalent. If they weie good physicians they need not sdopt tho circus plan of practicing their profession, becauso they could get employment at their homes. These humbugs are anoually us expensive to our people as tho horse thicvc3 ; and as long as wise people patrouizo them, they will invest aud plunder tho community. . Two Good Stories.

It is not '' those who are willing," us tho printer made nie say last week, vbut " those who are unwilling to submit to God " that oppose tho doctrine of clec tion. And here perhaps it may- be proper to notice an absurd notion that somo havo or at least pretend to have as if the church wero a company of self, righteous Pharisees, thankiug God that they wero good enough to bo choscu to salvation ; aud they say, " no doubt elec tion is all pleasant enough for those who aro elect, but it ii rather hard on us poor fellows who are left out." But thi3 is nothing to tho purpose : it does not bear upon the doctrine of election nt all, as the least reflection will how. For the doctrine is not that some are chosen to salvation Lecaute tliey are letter than the rest, but although they are just as bad. The elect (i. e. those whose caU ling has made their riecti on sure-2 Pet. 1, 10,) do iodeod thank God that they are so highly favored as to bo chosen to salvation, and drawn by God's frco grace from the broad road in which they loved to walk to that narrow way which leads to life ; as they manifestly ought to do 2 Jhoss. 2, 12 Bat they as cribc all thoir salvation to God, and con fess that they might justly have boon left to eat the fruit of their own doings it was infinite mercy that took their feot out of the horrible pit and the miry clay and placed them upon a rock. And those whose election is not. yet made sure to them, nor their reprobation either, (of course there is no uncertain ty in tho mind of God about this matter more than others,) all these aro assur ed of salvation if they will come and le saved ; they are invited to coiuo, and nothing but their owa unwillingness keeps them aw;. The church, which tbej uespise and revile, is all the lime praging for their salvation, and seeking by every means in her power to persuade them to come and take of the water of life freely.

Many of the leading sporting men of New York have been laboring under a wrong impression regarding tho matter of Dexter not trotting at Uocliea- tcr. The facts, as gathered by a sport- at reporter tt Rochester, aro as fol lows : Two days beforo tho fuir, Mr. Fawcett sent a letter to tho Driving Association informing them to the entries, and also ending his entrance mouey iu with the letter. The letter arrived too late, and consequently, the horses was ruled out, the Rochester iolks, who are naturally smart vide, bones of the martyrs-being under the impiessiou that Mr. Fawcett wished to take all tho money away Iroui tho city. Mr. Fawcett remonstrated with the association, but it was of no use, as they were determined not to give him the chanco to win. They also kept his money the entraneo fee for 24 hours. Dudd Double, the driver of Dexter, ex postulated, and even said Dexter should not trot, but the idea was laughed at by the Driving Park Club, they thinking that Fawcett would not be foolish enough to lot 2,500 slip. A delegation, inclu. ding the president ot the association, was sent to Congiess Hall to see Mr. Faw. cett. Mr. Fawcett stated on being question. ed that he had kept his word ; brought his horses to pleare tho publio aud him self j that his horses bad been ruled out and that be had not been treated like a scutloman. Mr. Spence, who is a mil-. lionairo, of Rochester, exiled him a 'liar,' which word had no sooner escaped his lips than Mr. Fawcett struok hfm. Both fought for a time, and a general fracas seemed imminent, but speuce's frieuds held hiia back. Mr. Fawcett repeated that his horse should not trot at Roches ter if he should receive $2,000 for it. Mr. Spouce then requested his friends to let him go, as he was not afiaid of any horse swiudler and jockey ot New York Mr. Fawoelt, on hearing this, sent a blow on Rpeuce s mouth, aud knocked two teeth down his throat, with a large cluster ring he had ou his finger. Faw. cett was then assisted through tho win dow of Congress Hall, with the police alter him, but he succeeded in reaching his room, and remained there until the Chief of Police arrested him. Wheu he reached the statiou house he was dis charged. Ho then left for Buffalo, but on his arrival ho was again arrested aud held to bail for a large amount. The matter was finally settled by the pay. nieut ot a large sum to Spenoe, and Mr, Fawcett, thinking that some injury wold happen to Dexter, made up bis mind to jsell him to Mr. Bonner for &50,- 000.

" Casu Advances'" Courting a r'u'U widow. Pmi.ADKi.rHiA, Aug. 3, 18G7. Dear Adcocate : Ono who uttempt3 to wield a pen as a correspondent of a newspnper iu the country from such a stand point as the City of Brotherly Love has a task before him which is by no means an easy one. True, thero is plenty to write about but whether it would ioUrest those lor whom it is in. tended, is a question of doubt. Tho main subject of speculation hero is polities. Tho Democrats will shortly wake their nominations, and every ef fort is bciug made to place good men on the ticket along with Judge Shars wood, who, bis friends assert, and some of his enemies do not question, will carry this city. Tkey (his enemies) are eonse" quently depending on the rural districts to defeat him. Your correspondent, however, indulges in the opinion that the ides of October will tell a different talo from those districts. The recent revelations ot Sanford Conover ?is Dunham, have been car rying conviction to the hearts of the most hardened, but conscientious Radi cals. It has effectually killed tho im peachment business, and has broken up that rascally crew, headed by Stanton, Holt, Butler, Ashley, &o. God speed the day when they will meet with the just reward of their villainy : Folks who can afford luxury have all gone to the seaside to stay during tho hot term, and as a consequence tho ho tels at Capo May, Atlantlo City, etc., are overcrowded. How they can find comiort at sucn places is an enigma which has puzzled abler writers, than your correspondent. If any of your readers should go there, they should bo prepared to change their " uuiform ' from three to four times a day, and spend from $3 to $10 a day. Board. iog, gin-cocktails, and for other useless unnccessaries. The main topic of local pride and in tercet in this city is the recent games of base-ball between the Athletics of this city and the Monisania and Eekford Clubs of New York. The Athletics were victorious in both instances. Th score standing with tho first named club 16 to 14, and with the latter 23 to 18 The placing was the best ever done it this or any other country. The rstnrn games are to be played during the com ing month. More anon. Sundown. The Conover Bevelations. The Conover-Ashley affair is too se. rious a matter for the Radicals to shuffle off with a sneer, and so they are pre paring to swear it of by bold perjury. The creature they used uutil they were exposed and then sought impunity by punishing, they found was dismissed too toou, and endeavored to obtain posses sion of him again, for other purposes, by procuring his pardon. But this ingen ious arrangement having miscarried aud their fingers being caught in tho vice prepared for other digits, a nc depart ure was resolved upon; this was to use the Conover machinery for relief iu their perplexing dilemma, aud convert their intended victims into assumed as sailants. Hence that immaculato Bu reau of Military J ustice is to cry " per secution," aud its pure head is to bo the injured innocence! Judge Holt-whose ermine has been draggling in the dirt of party iutriguo until it is as black as tho face of " Africa's ebony son," spot, ted all over with tho false oaths of creat ures who swore by it is to bo present, ed as the unsophisticated patriot, likely to be devoured by his own hounds. If Rogers signed a petition in favor of Con over's pardon, is ho thereby criminated any more than Holt by doing the same thing? What Prycr or Dick Taylor did to procure the release of Jeff Davis, no one knows or caros ; bat that they offered money to men to swear against Holt never will be believed, for they had none to offer; and tho additional as persion that tho parties to whom it was offered refused, it coudems the whole story as false nod preposterous. That the Bureau of Military Justice can pro. cure any desirable testimony from J udgo Holt's wituesscs is not doubted ; espe cially wheu manipulated by New York Radical experts ; but the degree of con. fideuco placed in such testimony, man ufactured to niset an emorgenoy, will not materially sway publio judgment.

The .note can easily bo de. tccted, as tho engraving is very roughly executed, and the entire note presents a pale appearar.ee. etui we advise our readers to closely inspect all bills of that denomination on this bank before taking them, To Tax Payan. The tat-paycrs of this Rtato hould remember that under Radical rule fif'tv millions of dollars are being paid yearly to keep up tho vast force of officials in the South, . whose busing it ik (0 manage tho negro vote for Radical can. didatcs for office. This is rather a costly speculation. The Radicals clamor for protection to American industry, Why not protect it against such outrages tn those committed by the Radical Con gress r It the southern hlatcs were allowed to tako their old places in the Union, and tho negroes compelled to earn their own living, a large amount of tho burdens of tuxation would be re moved from the people, and thus the return of their industry net a larger sum at the end of tho year. This kind ot protection white men must insist upon if they would raise tho business of the couutry from its present depress, ed condition. Instead of the .South producing ti half or ono .fourth crop of cotion, a iuu yueiu coum be secured by putting the field hands to work and shutting up tho doors ofthe Freed.. men s Bureau, ibis action would be a large saving to tho government, and prevent the Treasury from being robbed by the men who are running tho mu. chine for the benefit of tho Radical party. When Radicals talk of protec tion to American industry let tbo an swer be, reduce the expenses of the gov ernment, admit the southern atatcs, set the negroes to work, aud then tho peo ple will have protection from scheming politicians aud high taxes at tho panic time. Age. i ' ra The Old Follow Who Didn'f yTant HiB Bister to Become mis. Moloney. An old milk peddler, near Detroit, appeared before the justice with a story of wrong calculated to bring tears from a carrot. He had a sister, a darling maid of thirty odd, who has lived with him and his wife for years, and had been their solace and comfort. But in an evil hour she became acquainted with one Tom Maloncy, with whom she had several evenings enjoyed the promptings of love's young dream. This ho con cluded he would havo to tolerate, as he couldn't very well stop it. In a short time, however, things matured, and to his thinking got rather hot. Tho blushing damsel of thirty, it was rumored, was about to accept Tom's company on atrip to St. Louis was to become Mrs. Maloney in a quiet way, and to appropriate the funds tho old gentleman had been able to lay aside as profits in the milk business, in order to celebrate their honeymoon properly. This story become so impressed upon his mind that he did not feel secure about his place did not know the day or hour when Tom Maloncy would help himself to his sister and his money. So ho tried to stop it by bringing it to the notieo of thb justice. Maloney was ar rested, but afterward the yarn appeared such a cruel hoax on the old man that he was honorably discharged.
