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.

months Rgo an individual calling biiu
sell II. H. Hovey, and claiming to be
a llaptist minister, dropped down in
the quiet town of West Liberty, Ohio
county, and went to work 2iving off
the inhabitants. 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,

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. The

&.Th following article, wc olip
from the Clearfield Rcpuhlican, and
think tBe Editor, is sonsd in his opinion
concerning the Celebrated Physician.
Quack Humbugs. " We notice
that Dr. Jackson, one of the " celebrat.
ed physicians " whose sands of life have
no ouict " run out, bas discovered, not
a cure for the ills of life, but that the
people of Clearfield county have still a
few stamps left which he wishes to pos
sess for his own private use. 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.

CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY NO. 13.
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

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. Would you be one of the

Way Ha Did Not Trot at Hochaster and 'Way
lis was soia.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

the negroes to work, aud then tho peo

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.
