Mr.. Webster and his Bills.

Our readers are aware that the late
Hon. Daniel Webster was not so care
full in his pecuniary matters as some men,
and this fault was at times taken advan-
tage of. At one time poor man saw
ed a pile of wood for him, by Mr.. Webs
ter. The laborer took sick during the
winter, and neighbor advised him to
call upon Mr.. Webster for the payment
of his bill.
"But he has paid me, said the man.
"No matter, replied his dishonest
adviser, "call again with it. He don't
know, and don't mind what he pays
1t is very common thing for him to
pay such small bills over twice"
The man got well, and carried his ac-
count second time. Mr. Webster look
ed at the man, remembered him but
paid the bill without demurring.
The fellow got "short" some three or
four months afterwards, and bethought
him of the generosity and loose hammer
of Mr. Webster in his money matters /;
and third time he called and present
ed the bill for saving the wood. Mr..
Webster took the account which he i'm
mediately recognized, and scanning the
woodsawer moment, he said:
elbow do you keep your books, sir 2"
II keep no books" said the man
abashed.
II think you do, sir" cotinued Mr..
Webster, with marked emphasis "and
you excel those who are satisfied with
the double entry system. You keep
your books upon triple-entry plan, |
observe
Tearing up the account, Mr.. Webster
added
= eco, sir, and be honest hereafter. I
have no objections to paying these little
bills twice, but | cannot pay them three
times. You may retire.
The man left the room, feeling as
though he was sufocating for want of
air. He had learned lesson that last
ed through life.

NUMBER oE NEGROES UNDER ARMS.
There are probably more colored men
now under arms than most persons sup
pose. The Anglo-African says that
two weeks ago Adjutant Gen. Thomas
had II, 900, Gen Banks 5000, Kansas
regiments 1000, Gen. Hunter about
5000, Gen Foster 8, 900, Gen. Rosecrans
about 5000, navy 5000, Gen. Curtis
1000, Massachusetts regiment 200, Dis
trict of Columbia 500, total of 80 900.
We know that the estimate in some of
these cases is too small, and the actual
number is probably nearer 10000
Gen Ullman in Louisiana has not done
so much as he would have done, had it
not been for the arrangement made with
General Banks and the planters for
paid negro labor. But Gen. Banks
said recently that a country would soon
be opened where negro enlistments
might be made to any extent. He prob
ably meant Mississippi, which bids fair
to be soon in our possession.

Feeding Negroes and Driving Soldier,
into the Poor House. .

, The woolly headed Lincoln Administration
at Washington, says the Newark Advocate, Ia
notoriously engaged in divertipg the public
money to feeding and clothing the tens of
thousands of negroes they have cOaxed and
stolen away from their masters. Whilst this
branch Of the "public service 10 attended to
with untiring vigilance, large part Of our
soldiers are kept for many months without the
pay on which their families rely for daily
bread. Instances are occurring where this
hearsless neglect ls driving discharged soldiers
into the common poor house! The following
confsssion OF 9 Massachusetts Senator, was
made in Congress- on the 9th instant: ~ +,
"Mr., Wllson reported back House Joint
Resolution, for the payment Of soldiers and
sailors, with 90 amendment authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury. to lssus $50, 900,
600, in demand notes, in addition TO the
amount authorised by the act of 1862. u
Mr.. Fessenden moved to refer the resolu.
tIon 70 the committee on Finance. L ~
"Mr. Wilson had no objection, but thought
it was high time our soldiers were paid. Many
OF them had been waiting for months, and
aome of them had gone into the poor house
and their families were paupers because they
had not been paid as promptly as they should
have been. Many have deserted through
solIcitude for their families. He thought tht
Government ought to furnish means 10 pay
these men Immediately. The bill was referred

The Position of Mr.. Milton Sayler-Hi'
r. ll04.al Assailants. o.

Hon. Milton Ssyler, one Of the members OF
the Ohio House of Representatives from Ham
ilton county, has been attacked by tvs of bis
colleagues from this county, Mr.. Keck and Mr..
BRAKEMAN. for being unfailhful and treaeherous,
as they al'eged, to the Union party. How
unfaithtul and treacherous Mr. Sayler was
nominated by mixed convention, called under
the name of "Unioo," which had adopted as
its platform vigorous prosecution of the war
upon the doctrine Of Mr. Sayler's dispatch to
Mr.. Dayton, our Minister in France, and upon
the Crittenden Resolutions of July, 1861, which
pledged the Government not to interfere with
slavery in the States, OF NEEDLE in any Nay With
their local institutions The "Union'' party
was formed on that basis. 1t could have been
formed upon no other, for no Democrat or
Conservative would have united with It il Il.
had laid down an Abolition platform Of emsn-
cipation. In the course OF year the Admin
Iteration abandoned the Union patty platform,
and declared for war to abolish slavery in
the States! Then Mr.. Ssyler pronounced
against the war upon that theory, and against
the Administration. Every member Of the
Union party who wac honest in his support of
It's declared platform did the same. Those
only were unfaithful and treacherous who ad-
hered to the Administration In its warfare
upon the Union party's creed as announced in
1881! 4le1 .,. .,r
Mr.. Sayler was known by the convention,
when Il nominated him, to be o Democrat in
principle, opposed to abolition or emancipation
In any of their political phases, and he was
elected by the people with that understanding.
He pursued last winter q bold, fearless and pat
rio,ie course in opposing Wsde's reelection to
the Senate and he has been sustained by his
constituents at home by majority of fifteen
hundred Groesbeck, Eggleston, Keck & Co.,
who voted for Wade, were condemned and re.
pudisted by the people. II an election was held
In Hamilton county to morrow, Mr. Sayler would
be reelected. .Groesbeck, Egglestoh l. Co.
could not be. Nobody here disputes this. The
members from this county who vote for Wade
will be guilty Of bad faith toward their constit.
uente, who have condemned him. They will
be treacherous and iunfaithful to the first prin.
clples of representative government, which
is that the majority should govern.
As to Mr.. Sayler, he is q gentleman Of fine
talents, eouHd In bis political faith, aud we do
not hesitate to predict for him promising fu,
tuTe He will be sustained when his present
opponents In the Legislature have been't forgot.
