THE CHARCOAL TRUMPETER.

By the way, speaking of the last
trumpet, makes me remember the re-
ply of a veteran old charcoal man, of
Philadelphia, well known to the citi-
zens thereof for the sonorousness of
his horn, and the excellence of his
commodity. Honest JIMMY CHARCOAL!
he is removed from among the quick,
and numbered with those who have
Jumped from the shoal of time into
kingdom come. He was a cheer
full. good-hearted citizen; and though
he certainly did not move in the first
circles, yet he spread light and heat
wherever he went-rot by his person,
however; for if ever there was q
man who look ed like a plenipotentia-
nv fresh from the court Of Tophet.
Jimmy was that individual. Well.

Gus horn, and unremittlng were the
blasts which he produc cd through the
same upon the general ear. At last,
some evil-disposed citizen. having no
taste for music. went TO his honor the
Mayoi. and lodged grievous com
plants against the distinguished horn
Isl, q use a musical term.l setting
forth that he disturbed the public bo-
som with his soul-stirring instrument.
i After such an accusation. he was
brought before the great municip !!
iuncflonary. and received stern and
awful reprimand. Jimmy stood the
irebuke as if Satan had not only allow
ed him his own color, but also his
courage. His reply was cogent and
conclusive: look here, your hon

WHIG NOMINATION,
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
DANIEL WEBSTER,
OF Massachusetts.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
OF NMassachu

AT the May Session of the General
Assembly, 1886, held at Newport, the
following resolutions were passed:
"Resolved, That Messrs. B. Hazard,
Dorr, GarW, Hneord Of Kent, and
Blake, he Committee to consider and
report upon the memorials of divers cit
liens Of the State, relating 10 the subject
of Free Discussion and the Liberty of
the Press; and that said committee be
directed to hear such testimony ms may
be submitted to them by, or in behalf Of
the petitioners"
"Resolved, That all documents con-
cerning the subject of the Abolition Of
Slavery, transmitted to the Governor Of
this State, and all other papers on the
same subject now on the files Of the
House, be referred TO said Committee. :"
IL was subsequently r"ied by the Com
mittee that a meeting of the same be
held at Newport on Wednesday evening.
June 22d, at I o'clock, in the Chamber
'of the House of Representatives; and
that public notice be given to the Aleroor-

most Of the remarks he had intended to SUBJ
NIT. He would therefore say no more upon
the pending question, than that he did not
understand nom any quarter that any frauds
were charged al having been committed
since the passage of the present election law.
No amendment Of that law, then, in this re-
spect, appeared to be necessary. As to in
quiries having reference to frauds, alleged to
have been committed previously to that time,
he concnrred entirely with the gentleman
from Glocester, that admitting for the sake
of the argument that. upon the investigation
prayed for, such frauds should be fully proved,
no possible action of the Assembly could with
propriety follow. The remedy, if any were
requisite, had already been applied in the
new law. Whenever that failed Of its effect,
it would be time enough to prescribe again.
Before he resumed his seat he felt it to be
his duty to give his testimony in relation to
one trait in the character of his friend from
Johnston, which had not been touched upon
during the debate. Much had been said by
those who had preceded him, and deservedy
said too, of the talents of that gentleman, of
his usefulness, his influence, and the high
rank he has attained. Upon these points he
should attempt to add nothing. II was un-
necessary. What he wished to speak Of was
his integrity; and concerning this he felt that
circumstances gave him peculiar right to
speak. No man in that house had probably
known the gentleman alluded to, so long as
he had. Their acquaintance commenced in
early youth, for they were boys together. 1t
had continued to manhood. OF late years it
had often fallen to his lot to be intimately as
sociated with him in political movements
During the whole period of their acquaint-
ance, extending from the days Of boyhood to
the present hour, he had never discovered in
his friend from Johnston, any thing, either in
business or in politics, at all inconsistent with
the sternest dictates of honor and honesty
A strict regard to these qualities never for
sock him, not even in the most ungusrded
moments of confidential intercourse. In his
deliberate Judgment and speaking with ref
erence as well to politics as morals, there
was not in that house more honest man than
James +. Simmons.
The question on the motion of mr.. Ran
dolph to postpone the memorial indefinitely,
was then taken, and carried in the affirmative.

THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN.

The latest news from the seat Of the
Florida war is through the Mobile pa
pers of the Cd instant. The brig Peri
had arrived there the preceding day
from Tampa Bay, whence she sailed on
the 28th of April.
In the Pori came passengers one hun.
dred volunteers Of the Alabama regi-
ment. They received their discharge
at Tampa Bay. The remainder of the
regiment were to be discharged so soon
as transports could be obtained to convey
them to Mobile. The Georgia and
South Carolina volunteers had all gone
home. The Louisiana regiment was al
Tampa, awaiting the arrival ofthe steam
boat Merchant to carry them home. -
Generals Scott, Clinch and Eustis, with
the United States regulars, had dispers-
ed in small parties, and were selecting
healthy situations to spend the summer,
and afford protection to the inhabitants.
About two weeks previously the fork in
the forks Of the Withlacoochie was be-
sieged by large body ofthe enemy for
several days, and was finally relieved
and reinforced by General Clinch-
since which time the Indians had moi
been discovered in any force, yet they
continually annoyed The tanks Of the ar.

shooting from their concealment the

they could find detached from the main
