Being about to sever connection which may
never again be renewed, the undersigned mem
bers of Co. 4, lst W. T. Infantry, desire, res
pectfully to present to lst Lieut.. j. w. Clawson,
lst w. T. Tnflrtry, their sincere regards assur-
ing him that they will ever remember him with
a kind and grateful remembrance; as one who
has done his whole duty to the Government and
the service, without ever in the slightest degree,
overstepping the warrant of his commission to
annoy or provoke those who were his interiors
in rank, and who has been at once an
OFFICER, A SOLDIER, AND'A GENTLEMAN.
We regret that our poverty prevents us from
Offering a more solid testimonial; nevertheless,
we trust it will be a source of satisfaction to
the Lieutenant, in after life, to know that he
was beloved and respected, not only by bis Com
pany, but also by all others with whom he came
in contact. ll" T
Hoping that the Lieutenant will soon receive
the promotion to which, by his character and
Accomplishments he is enneutly entitled, we
beg to subscribe ourselves, with much respect,
Lieut. Clawson's true and sincere friends
(Signed by every man in the company.)
Lieut.. ] w. CLAwsoN, 1st W. T. Infantry

fully, to join Co. A in the above testimonial.

FATHER ABRAHAM BEsEIGED His Ex-
cellency, VIM. Pickering, recently left Olym-
pia, on his winding way to the Presidential
mansion The Standard says the Governor
was induced to make the visitin consequence
Of firm conviction on his part that "his
head would soon fall" We suspect that
Pickering came to the conclusion that "a
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, ="
and that he has thought better of risking
the Gubernatorial chair for doubtful Con-
gressional honors. He perhaps became
better acquainted with the Vaccinations Of
the Old Henry clique, and saw that unless
be posted off Immediately for Washington,
Henry would cause his head to fall and thus
he would be left without office, with no re-
liable assurance in the world that he would
be elected next Delegate to Congress. But
what are Pickering's or Old Henry's troub-
les when compared with those of the Presi-
dent? They are nothing in comparison.
Father Abraham is besieged by thousands
Of Pickerings and Henrys from all quarters
Of the eountry-each particular ofice-seek-
er pressing his individual claims for place
and spoils It must be terrific on the guv-
ment's' already debAitated constitution to
be importuned daily by such a ravenous host
of expectants. If the 'guvment lives to be
reinaugurated, it will look more eadayerous.
and if possible, uglier than its worst enemy
ever pictured it.

"litde testimonial" When it is stated that Co.

their sentiments briefly on paper. It was no
very grand affair. No professional Jenkins

es were rehearsed; no flowing blows" were
drained 1t was simply piece of paper with
something written thereon, and a number Of
sprawling signatures appended. The money

monial Nevertheless, the intrinsic value of
that small piece of paper was infinitely greater
than very many of the snobocratic presentations

The Rerm des deur Mondes Of Paris, one OF
the highest authorities in the literary world,
publishes in its last number an article by Mr..
George Walker on the finances Of the United
States. The name of the paper which admits
this article, to its columns is by itself alone
sufficient to secure for it the attention of the
economists and capitalists of Europe. The
London Times labors hard to break the force OF
the powerful array Of figures in Mr.. Walkers
articles, but The London Daily Noes easily
refutes all its arguments.
