TIT FOR TAT. Morgan's friends
in Kentucky, complain that he IS not
properly treated, in being set to work in
the Ohio penitentiary. They say it is a
great outrage. The Louisville Journal
comforts them by reminding them that
Colonel Woodruff, of Kentucky. and his
companions, who were for long time
prisoners in Richmond, were forced to
stem tobacco, aud were kept very hard
at work at that. In those days it ap-
pears, John Morgon's friends used to
laugh at Col. Woodruff having got to be
a tobacco stemmer.

physical disability, thirteen BY furnishing
substitutes, and twenty three for other
causes. it will be seen that of the eigh-
tv-three drafted the administration did
not get AMMAN.
