That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew Johnson is, in its effects upon the loyal people of the South, un just, oppressive, and intolerable; and accordingly, how ever ardently we desire to see our State once more re stored to its proper position in the Union, we would de plore restoration on any other conditions than those pre scribed by the Fortieth Congress, to which we give our cordial and entire sanction, believing the principles enu merated by the Republican party through that Congress to be just and wise. 10. That.tbe adverse discrimination toward the 'grim& turallsbours of the Southern States, as manifested by the eaoresons tax on cotton, is unjust and oppressive, and should be abrogated at the earliest possible moment. IL That we sincerely exult in the fact that as a nation we are now absolutely a nation of freemen, and that, from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the sun no longer shines upon the brow of a sieve.

The Frew on the other hand says that the measures contemplated have no political character, the most important of them being for the completion of parochial roads. The Epoque of this evening says :—" We have reason to believe that the dispute between Prussia and Denmark in reference to North Schleswig is now in a fair way of being settled." It seems now certain that Mr. Johnson is about to commit an act of great folly, by removing Gene ral Sheridan from the command of the Louisiana district to some other, where he will have less power and less responsibility. General Sheridan has been guilty of some indiscretions, and there were expressions in his correspondence with the government at the time he removed Governor Welles which savoured of insubordination, but on the whole his administration is admitted to have been very successful, and it has commanded the hearty approval of the public ; and, more than this, he has come to be considered one of the most valuable and reliable agents in the work of reconstruction. To remove him, there fore, is simply to fly in the face of the Northern people, and that he should even think of doing such a thing is ono more proof of Mr. Johnson's fatuity. It will be taken as a fresh indication of his sympathy with the secessionists, of his desire to thwart Congress, and encourage the mal contents in their attempts to retard the pro cess of reconstruction on the plan laid down by Congress, and consequently will revive all the old animosity to him. Moreover, there is a very unpleasant appearance of trickery about the performance. During the late session of Congress rumours that the President intended to remove Sheridan got into circulation, but they were stoutly denied by Mr. Johnson's organs, and notably by the Washington Intelligencer, which is supposed to be his organ par excellence. The con sequence was that although the house was disposed to take from him the power of removal in the Amendatory Act, the Senate, having more confi dence in him, and feeling desirous of conciliating him, refused to concur, and the power was left in his hands, and Congress adjourned till November 21. No sooner had the members reached their homes than the rumours began to revive, and every day assumed more shape and positiveness, until this morning comes the news that the mat ter is no longer in doubt. Mr. Johnson is, how ever, sure that he cannot now be reached before the end of November, and by that time the re construction business will be over. What renders his proceeding all the more senseless is that he can really gain nothing for his policy by inter fering with Sheridan, because the power of over ruling, or revising all orders of the commanding generals, or of directing them in the discharge of their duties, is left to General Grant exclusively ; so that turning Sheridan out has no value except as an expression of spite. Mr. Johnson will probably grow more reckless in the use of the little power which is left him, as the months wear on, inasmuch as after November it will scarcely be in the power of Congress to harm him. It will not be worth while to im peach him, except as an example, and few members will be willing to undertake the bother of it for the sake of example merely. There is no doubt that the dread of impeachment has had a good deal to do to keep him on hisgood behaviour, but hie fears were perhaps removed by the miserable break down of the impeachers at the close of the last session. Anybody who continued to be afraid of I them after the exposure they made of themselves on the last day must have less courage than Mr. Johnson has shown himself to be possessed of. wEPEN and BACK in seven days from , .e . allowing hours In Sweden.—Thls is an eppor ism' be etubnieed by the renowned twin screw tl %10*, Captain THOS.

That a wise care for the public safety sometimes renders it necessary that those who have sought resolutely to overthow the government should not hastily be restored to the privileges of which they have deprived themselves by thin crime of treason—certainly not until they have shown evidenoe of sincere repentance, and a disposition so energetically to support as they have in times past sought to destroy the Union ; and that we consider willingness on tha part of these men to elevate to power the men who preserved unswerving adherence to the government during the war as the best test of sincerity in professions for the future. FRENCH EXCURSION TO DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, AtGum 12. LIE CREDIT FONCIER of ENGLAND The French excursionists arrived at Korsor at six this morning, and were most euthusiastically re ceived. The Burgomaster of Korsor delivered an address of welcome to them in French. "In Den mark," he said, " you will not find large numbers, but you will find warm hearts. Denmark and France have always been allies, linked by their common interests, which have been those of free dom and humanity. Long live the memory of the first heroes in the world. Long live victorious, proud, and beautiful France." M. Morin replied with three cheers for Denmark and the Danish King. Thousands of persons met the excursionists at the railway station on their arrival in this city. Great enthusiasm was displayed and salvoes of artillery were fired.

I do not know how it will strike you, but I confess that although I am % ery familiar with the " platforms" produced every year by the white men of the various Northern States, I do not re member to have ever seen one in which there was less evidence of ignorance, or recklessness!, or even of bad taste. The reforms recommended are simply those of which the necessity in South Carolina has been recognized for years. The poor law which is called for is the necessary consequence of the aboli tion of slavery, and as a matter of fact would, if in operation at this moment, relieve more whites thin bfacks, although it LT very questionable whether a convention of the old governing class would ever have recommended anything of the kind. The only section which is calculated to throw any suspicion on the political orthodoxy of the new party is the fourth. This was not carried without a hard struggle, and it led to the resigna tion of one white delegate, a man of some infuence and position, who thought it smelt of confiscation. It owes its dangerous look, I think, however, rather to the wild talk in which some agitators at the North have indulged, than to anything that is. known or suspected as to the real sentiments of itsauthms. To construe it fairly, the peculiar condition of the South, and above all of South Carolina, has to be taken Into consideration. The bulk of the land, especially in the coast districts, is held in enormous tracts, and often heavily encumbered, by single owns* who make a point of not selling to negroes, although the negroes are rapidly becoming able to buy. The story told on. this point by the savings banks is something wonderful. Yet nothing is more certain than that the political and social condition of a community depends more on the manner in which the land is distributed than on any other feature of its economy, and that the present accumulation of land in the hands of single owners at the South is almost entirely due to slavery, and ought not to survive it. How to put ma end to it, and give the labourers, in • country which is not one twentieth populated, and in which land is a drug, even a small share of the soil, and with it independence, and a free holder's and not a proletaire's interest in politics, without at the same time lessening the security of property, by weakening the popular sense of its inviolability, is a very puzzling question, and yet it is a question which has to be met. The ordinary answer of the economists, that its solution must be left to the working of the ordinary laws of trade, is not a sufficient answer, because the working of the laws of trade is in the South, as in Jamaica, disturbed by deep-rooted caste feeling, which neither misfortune nor suffering alone seems sufficient to overcome. And yet that there are circumstances in which legislative provision 04)V A L ALHAMBRA PALACE. %I:tat:wing Director, Mr. Y. Strange.)

There has been a republican convention held in South Carolina, largely attended both by blacks and whites—the blacks, strange to say, supplying most men of ability. But it must be remembered that the Vitt of the whites—the men of most cul ture, and who were formerly in the habit of managing the State politics—do not take part in these movements. They stand apart, and are willing to lead the blacks, on very fraternal terms, if the blacks are willing to be led ; but there are only few of them who are disposed to meet them on equal terms on political platforms. The second class of whites in a State like South Caro lina are unquestionably unable to produce men who in readiness, fluency, and thorough c =prehen sion of what their phnitical wants are, are a match for the best class of ., flegroes, or perhaps I should rather say, mulattoes ; for the leaders of the coloured population • have generally some white blood, and are drawn from the class which was en gaged in some kind of skilled labour in the great towns. lIITUL—The LETTUCE oontainn an actil the u the Uterine, which penman all the soothli Miss without Its dangers .— Mr. G.

The doctrine was recognised in Prussia by Stern, and in Ireland by the Encum bered Estates Act ; and there is a state of things at the South such as neither Prussia nor England has ever been called on to deal with. Ido not believe, however, that the thought of confiscation pure and simple, either as a measure of punishment or ven geance, or public utility, has been thought of in South Carolina. A few fanatics have talked of it in Virginia, but they have made no impression. The most, I think, ever likely to be attempted, if anything is ever attempted, is to force some of the great proprietors, on proper proof of their pecuniary incapacity to work or reclaim their estates, to bring them into the market at a valuation. I confess 1 think it extremely unlikely that even this will be seriously entertained by any legislature we are likely to see in South Carolina, but if it were proposed, I believe a great many good political as well as moral philosophers would say that it was a measure of the highest statesmanship.

I subjoin the " platform" they drew up as a specimen of the ideas of such a body, and of their mode of expressing them : 1. That in order to make the labour of all our loyal fellow-citizens more effectual for carrying out the pro visions of Congress for the restoration of law and order in our State, as well as for the peace and prosperity of our entire country, we, the people of South Carolina, do form ourselves into a political organisation, to be known as the Union Republican Party of South Caroline. 2. That as republican institutions cannot be preserved, unless intelligence be generally diffused among all classes, we will favour a uniform system of free schools and col- leges, which shall be open to all. DESTRUCTION OP • COTTON SHIP AT SEA. Newu has arrived at Falmouth of the total lose of the ship Queen of the Deep by Are. She left Calcutta in April , with a full cargo of cotton and jute for Liverpool. On Sunday, June 16, in 34 50 S., and 28 K, smoke was found to be issuing from the after-hold, and in such quantities as to show that a large body of the cargo was on Are. The situation was most appalling, as at the time it was blowing a heavy gale from the west. It was found impossible to get at anything in the cabin, or to do anything but batten down the hatches and pump water into the hold through holes in the deck. Towards Monday morning, when the weather had fortu nately somewhat abated, the boats were gut out, and the captain and crew left the vessel, and that barely in time, as within about twenty minutes after they had taken refuge in the boats the main and wizen mast, fell, and the ship became a mass of flames from stem to stern. The crew were three days and two nights exposed in the boats, when they were picked up by the Union Company's steam ship Natal, en route from Algoa Bay to NataL At the latter port they embarked on board the Diamond Com pany's steamship Natation for passage to Cape Town, and arrived at Algoa Bay on July 1. The Queen of the Deep was a fine cotton clipper of 1,257 tons burthen.

BERLIN, Arcusi 12, Ilvernito. It is believed in court circles that there is now an increased probability of an interview between the King of Prussia and the Emperor Napoleon on the latter's return from Salzburg. Negotiations at least are now going on with the view of bringing about an interview between the two sovereigns. The sera-official North Guinan Gazette of this evening, referring to the same subject, says : "Our Paris correspondent, who is very cautious in giving credit to important pieces of news, writes of an intended interview between King William and the Emperor Napoleon at Coblenz. This circumstance gives a greater probability to the rumours of a meeting between the two monarchs. This friendly act of courtesy would be thoroughly consistent with the present political situation, which is daily assuming a more peaceful character." The King is expected at Camel on the 16th inst. At Frankfort-on-the-Maine his Majesty's stay will be limited to a few hours. At Camel he will meet the King of Sweden, and he will reach Babelsberg some time next week. Everything is already pre pared for his arrival there. The second number of the new Federal Gazette was published to-day. It contains a decree convoking the Federal Council, and also a notification of the Chancellor of the Confederation relating to the appointments of the plenipotentiaries of the Federal Council. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia passed through here last evening from Paris, on his way back to St. Petersburg. A decree has been issued intro ducing from the Ist Sept. next into the States which have been annexed to Prussia the same regulations which are in force in the old Prussian provinces for 'the extradition of criminal refugees. A decree has also been published re-authorising Prussian students to visit the universities of Berne and Zurich. STETTIN, AUGUAT 10. The wife of Admiral Farragut was received to day at the railway station of this town by the com mandant, Lieutenant-General Boehm, who accompa nied her on board the United States steamer Frolic, which is about to leave for Cronstadt. The officers of the Stettin garrison have given a banquet to the officers of the Frolic, in return for the hospi tality accorded to them on board that vessel. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. FLORENCE, Auccar 12, EVENING. In to-day's sitting of the Senate, during the dis cussion on the Bill for the Conversion of the Church Property, Signor Rattazzi again made a speech in which he expressed confidence in the success of the financial operation. He stated that it would be necessary to put an end to the forced currency in 1868, and in commenting upon the general state of the finances he declared that further economy would be effected in the budget for 1868. He, moreover, promised to lay before parliament a number of bills for the reorganization of the public adminis tration, and tending to open fresh sources of national wealth. In reply to Signor Farina Signor Rattazzi again repelled, in the most ener getic manner, any idea of reducing the interest on Italian Rente. This declaration was received with cheers, and the Senate then passed the Church Property Conversion Bill by 84 against 29 votes. HOLBORN AMTHITHRATRI.—The admirable ven tilation of this new circus is of infinite advantage to the proprietors during these warm summer nights, and the popularity of the performances remains undiminished. A new acrobat has been engaged, who goes through some ex cellent gymnastic feats on an upright wooden frame, called a " Rhomboid." The performance belongs to school gym nastics, and is calculated so exhibit the fully developed powers of the arms, but it is a mistake to advertise the performer as " Videl," when he is well known to the public as De Rhonda.

At the con clusion of the game they will run a mile race. STRANGI CHAROZ AOAINIST A SHIP'S CAPTAIN. John Orwin, captain of the barque Copse, of Sunderland, has been forwarded from Lisbon tc this country, on a charge of attempting to murder Henry Cortimer, one of his crew, who acted as cook and steward. The first inti mation received by the owner of the vessel was a telegram from Captain Orwin, dated Lisbon, August 3rd, announcing that the crew had mutinied, am' the ship had been com pelled to put into port. Next day the captain forwarded additional details, stating that the vessel had been taken into Lisbon by the crew and officers, who had taken the ship from him. The reason the captain assigned for the ex traordinary conduct was that the man whoacted as cook and steward had been stabbed as belay on his bed, and that the crew blamed the captain, who was the only person sleep ing in the cabin at the time. The boatswain, it appears, had instructed the crew to place the captain in irons for safe custody, and these orders were obeyed. The captain was in irons for ati hours, until the vessel arrived in Lis bon. These were all the detail. given by the captain ; but he added that the wounded man was recovering, and it was his intention to bring the affair before the Consul, and prosecute it to the uttermost. The inquiry by the Consul Las elicited some further information ; for a telegram re ceived by the owner from the Consul states that the cap tain has been sent to England for trial on the charge of attempted murder, and the crew to give evidence against him. The Consul requests another captain and crew to be sent out to take charge of the ship, which in the mean- time is detained at Lisbon.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, MONDAY EVENING. This day was appointed for the race conjointly for the Comodore's Cup of 100 guineas, given by the Earl of Wilton, commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and e cup of the same value given by the inhabitants of Cowes, for any yachts belonging to a royal yacht club not less than 30 tons. The course is from Cowes Castle round the light vessel on the Shambles, near Portland, and back round the east end of the Isle of Wight to Cowes Castle, passing out side all the buoys and =Au on shoals extending from the island shore, and leaving the Shambles light vessel on the poet hand. The following were the vessels entered for these prises : _ Yachts. - Tons. Owners. CAMINtI Condor 123 Mr. W. Ewing. Vindex 45 Mr. A. Duman. Vanguard dl Captain Hughes. Wm 196 Earl of Strafford.

As arranged es Saturday, the Commodore's Oup and Town Cup were to be raced for together ; the first yacht to have choice of as* cups, either the commodore's or town ; the second rebel to take the one left from the first choice. - - - • _ _ . . The time named foe starting was three o'clock in the afternoon, it being calculated that the race would occupy perhaps upwards of twelve hours. Precisely at 2h minutes after three, the starting gun was fired, but there were then only five out of the above long list at the station. They were the Lufra, Pantomime, Egeria. Volante, and Hirondelle. The vessels started as soon as they had swung to the port of the flood, with a nice breeze from the north-east. The Egeria was the first to get away, and nearly all, under immense balloon jibs and square sails, went bowling away before the wind. When off Egypt the Volante had taken the lead, with the Lufra yawl close astern, the Hirondelle being third, and Egeria and Panto- mime. The Pantomine, under the able pilotage of Cap tain Graham, kept a long way over to the north shore. The yachts would have to work against a flood tide the whole of the way to the Shambles, but with the ad vantage of having a clear run before the wind. On the return, however, the scene would be completely changed, for then it would be a beat dead against the wind, in addition to the whole of the ebb tide. It is not expected that the race can be finished until mid-day to-morrow. Swimetiso. —Yesterday morning the Alliance Club SWIM their long race in the Serpentine for the cap taincy and a silver cup, the distance beteg 600 yards. T. J. Miller was first by ten yards, Matthews second, • long way ahead of H. Bedford, who was looked upon as a cer tainty to win. Eight others started. Just before thence the members presented Mr. H.

THE GROUSE SHOOTING. --SALTRRAGATE MONDAY, Mere.—Since daylight this morning the free districts of the North Yorkshire moors about here have been alive with sportsmen, but few have had much luck, and none the average amount of success. The reports of the failure of the grouse crop this season have not been over stated. Odd birds, barren birds, and flights of three or four, rarely six, are the rule. The birds are very wild, and the young ones moderately grown and puny. The season and the disease have cut clown 'applies. The news from the moors further north is scanty, but none speaks of much success. Stune moors have not been shot at all, anti it is said a very large area will not be shot after the expiration of the present week, so as to give the bird' fair play. The reports of the partridges in the corn lands are not favourable. THE Hoe HARVEST,—The hop market during the past week has been in • very excited state. The favourable weather has slightly checked business • prices, however, continue fi rm. Accounts from the pla ntations confirm the wont anticipations of blight, which steadily progresses in the diseased districts, but the present bright weather will doubtless have • good effect upon the plant where it is only slightly affected, and enable the growers to realise • partial crop ; but the recent increase of tem perature will only serve to finish up more gaickly the weakly and severely blighted gardens. Reports from Bavaria, Bohemia, and the Poperinghe district of Bel gium continue moat promising, and with genial weather a large crop Is expected. Alost, and the French district, are stated to be improving under the influence of the pre sent change of temperature. Reports from the State of New York to the Ist inst. are veryunfavourable. There appears to be no doubt now that lice and honeydew are increasing seriously throughout the sections, Wisconsin alone excepted, and the growers consider the present state of the plant very critical. The import of foreign hops into London last week amounted to 775 bales from Antwerp, 91 Dunkirk, 212 Ostend, 190 Rotterdam. 414 Calais, ZJ Heiberg, 12 Boulogne, 22 Hamburg, and 19.1 bales from Konipberg. With but few exceptions the Worcester planters speak most despondingly of the grow ing crop. The frosty nights in the early part of the week having checked the burr, it makes no progreas ; and this materially lessens the chances of the yield on the good grounds. The Herefordshire accounts 1110 even were*. A fire broke out last night in a range of ware booms is Bartholomew-oleo, and mash damage ens done. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EMIRS. Sin,—The tone of the discussion on the vote for the Science and Art Department strengthens the hope that something may be done by government on behalf of technical education. Nothing can be more unsatisfactory than the slight progress that has been made in the extension of the system of State aid to science Glares. To the superfi cial observer the statement that in 1866 6,844 pupils were under instruction in 151 science classes, against 4,715 students in 93 classes in 1865, is satisfactory ; but an analysis of this statement will show that little real pro gress has been made. In 43 of the 93 classes in existence in 1865 there is a decrease of 656 pupils in 1866; the num bers being in 1866 2,441, and in 1866 1,185 ; aid as Kr. Bruce has, on two occasions, referred to the science classes in the West Riding, it may be noticed that the most im portant towns in the Riding are included in this statement, Halifax returning 15 mils in 1866, against 43 in 1865 ; Huddersfield, 26, spinet 33 ; and Leeds, 33, against 45. In eight chases the returns are stationary, and in 42 • alight increase of 684, Manchester, with its 437 pupils in 1865, only contributing 19 to this laminae. These results, un satisfactory 1111 they are, do not entirely show how very little is at present being done for the promotion of technical instruction among the muses, for included therein are professional men and the children of professional men, who take advantage of the systematic and sound instruc tion given in the science classes. For example, two-thirds of the pupils in the science class in Leeds were in a social position that did not entitle the teacher, and rightly so, to receive State aid, and the experience of the Science COM• mithee at Leeds is by no means singular; nevertheless these pupils are included in the total number of students returned under science instruction. This will be further seen in the results of the science examination held this year. In higher mathematics out of 33 successful candi dates only nine strictly belong to the manual labour class, 14 being schoolmasters and teacher, and the remainder students and others. Taking, however, 33 as the total re sult, only seven were examined in England, six in Ply mouth, and one in London. Of 64 sucemsful candidates in systematic botany only 22 wen examined in England, and of these ten were sail-taught, five were teachers, leaving only a woodcarver, a wood-cutter, and a photo- grapher, each in the third class, as the result of science. class instruction in botany in England for one year. The table of results in other subjects more or less confirms these examples. These poor results are not the fault of the system, though something may be attributed to the tentative nature of the grant. The department, instead of recognising the itn portnnoe of continuous State aid to technical instruction, announce that " the amount is liable to be increased, and, eventually, withdrawn," and " payments from the State must be expected to diminish." This, by experience, I know to be a great hindranee to the onward progress of the scheme. State aid calling rats existence and stimulating private exertions, may be the proper mode of administering public grants ; but aid liable at any moment to be withdrawn is incapable of producing such exertions. Mr. Goldney, too, gave good advice when he recommended the department "to circulate a greater knowledge of the ad eantsges offered among the general public." The Society of Arts finds it necessary to broadcast information el its examinations ; other bodies do the same. But the department im most niggardly with respect to its proceedings—it is "price six pence," " price one shilling," in almost all it circulates. Some thing also may be put down to the frivolous manipulation of details of the examinations, doubtless inherent to all red-tape departments. The universities, with equally im portant local examinations, have not one-hundredth of the regulations attempted to be enforced by the department, for all committees an not aware that a large number of official communications left unansweredanswer themselves. Forms 110, 91, 168, and so on, jumble themselves into admirable confusion in non-official minds. Bat all these difficulties do not require much consideration prior to their removal. We must look to another source for the primal cause of the non-success of science classes. Just now reports on VvebBl.-.1 instruction are being issued, and wise men are wondering what immediate steps should be taken for its promotion, and in the midst of the anxiety caused by the revelations of the Paris Exhibition the real cause may not receive the consideration it deserves. Without gauging the exact amount of educational destitution, can science chimes extend and flourish when out of 664,005 day scholars in attendance in state-aided schools in 1866 only 97,364 passed above standard 111. of the revisal code, where 264,221 being over ten years of. age ought to have done so, the difference marking nearly two-thirds passing out of school to work with less of elementary know ledge than standard IV. denotes. These form the source of supply for our science classes. Not to the apathy and indifference of mechanics and artisan. to the benefits of science instruction must failure be attributed, but in their inability to pursue scientific investigations ; for, owing to the imperfect nature and limited extent of primary education, the pupils of our evening classes hare to devote their attention to the ac luuition of mere elementary knowledge. No new science scheme is needed, for the present scheme rendered permanent, more liberally encouraged by parliament, sod released from wearisome regulations, will suffice. Yet no increased good will arise until national efforts are more earnestly made to reduce the mass of ignorance that is threatening to di minish our manufacturing superiority by crippling our hands in our efforts to promote technical education.—l am, de., HENRY H. SALES, Hon. Sec. to the West Biding Educational Board. 5, Victoria-chambers, Leeds. Eters ABOUT CRIM E. —Some interesting facts and figures about crime in England and Wales have just been published in the thick blue-book of judicial statistics for Compared with the previous year the serious offences show a gratifying decrease ; while, probably on account of more frequent application of summary . juris diction, the minor o ff ences disposed of by uniguitratesi show an increase. We learn that we have 2:3,728 police men, who cost us 1,827,1051. —being 478 constables and 78,6471. more than the year before. The criminal classes " at large" are set down at 113,5416, but of these 33,W1 are of the tramp and vagrant fraternity. Those not at large are 16,708 in local prisons, 7,018 In convict establish manta, and 3,635 in reformatories. In England and It there are 20,249 houses of bad character. During the year 50,540 indictable offences, in respect of which 27,190 persons were apprehended and committed. The murders numbered 131, being four less than the total of 1865. The attempts to murder were 45, and there were 079 cues of shooting, stabbing, km; t 59 cases of manslaughter, 8 of attempts to procure miscarriage, 211 of concealment of birth, 155 of unnatural offences, 257 of rape, 322 assaults with intent, &c., 272 of assaults and bodily harm, 207 of common auault, and 104 of assaults on " peace officers." There were 481,770 persona proceeded against summarily, and of these more than one-fourth were dis charged.
