A Yankee Trick.

A week or two ago four creditors started
from, Boston IN the same train Ofcars for the
purpose OF attaching the property OF a GER
tain debtor in Pennington, in the State Of
Maine. He owed each, and separately, and
they each were suspicious of the other; but
dared net say 4 word about IT, So they
role, ae1uainiances all, talking upon every
thing except that which they had most at
heart When they arrived at the depot at
Pennington, which was three miles from
where the debtor did business. they found
nothing to put EN- over the the rosd b. I

not worth more than fifty dollars, but he

Yes, said he. The fourth man quickly
paid over the money, took the reins, backed
the cab up to bank-slippcd it from the
harness and tipped it up so that the door
could not be OPENED, and jumped uoon the
horses back and rode off lick a ty-switch, y
while the insiders were looking out Of the
window, feeling ike singcd cas-. He rode

Qualifications for Secretary OF
the Treasury.

That was an excellent joke Of Horace
Greeley, who suggested an old New York
politician, James W. Nye, now United
States Senator from Nevada, as Secretary
Of the Treasury, because he borrowed the
most readily, and troubled himself less
about payment than any man he knew
That is Mr.. Greeley's idea Of our necessi-
ties at this time.

FRANK BLAIR ON STANTON. - Secretary
Seward says Stanton is divinity" -
Major General Frank Blair, who served
in the army and was one of the great
captains under Grant in his Mississippi
campaign, and under Sherman in his
marchdown 20 the sea, seems to differ
slightly with our illustrioGs Secretary of
State. Seward is noted for his prOneness
to fatter q man he desires to capture, and
he knows from experience that Stanton
can be madea serviceable tool, being VAIN
ObsequiOuS and unScrupulous. The Gun
ming Secretary Of State has not given up
his Presidential aspirations, ana he may
think it q fine stroke of policy to secure
the support Of Stanton, knowing that il
could be won by tlattery. In his Rolla
speech Gen. Frank Blair is thus reported
by 4 VAdical Republican:
"He made bitter war upon Stanton accus-
ed him oC hA'ug 40 osiSiSNl traitor and said
that Alexander II. Stephens. the vice president
Of the Southern CnnfederAcy, WAS n loyal man,
q more loyal man than Stanton, Drake, Fitch
er, or anv other radical; and that, when Stan.
ton bad Stephens locked up. the good, loyal.
and true man was inside, aud the rascal and
traitor upon the outside"
The mountain Democrat., 1865-12-09

IT is amusing 20 see, says the New Ha-
ven Register, with what avidity the radl-
cal republican presses SEIZE on every
word from President johnson that they

. NEGko SOLDIERS The late order dis
missing Oegro soldiers includes about
7e,0O0, aNd leaves but about 10000 be-
hiad. to be smothered in southern forts.
The New York Express says officers
report that the employment Of these
troops has proved "a most prohtless,
wasteful and expensive experiment, and
a perfect failure; they have proved inel-
ficient in camp and in battle, and are
much more insubordnate than white
troops" This is now the testimony of
those who commanded them, and who
have nothing further TO expect by prais'
ing them. The discharged white soldiers
speak of them contemptuously and indIg-
nantly deny the reports of their valorous
deeds.
