POPULAR GIFTS TO POPULAR MEN.-We have
received several more five cent pieces paper
currency towards the subscription for that
elegant copy of "Colburn's Primary Arith-
metic" to be presented to Provost Marshal
General Fry. Public spirit Is evidently
awakened on this patriotic subject, and we
have no doubt that before the draft comes of
we shall have received quite handsome sum,
probably two dollars and eighty-seven and q
half cents. This mode of making suitable pre-
sents TO distinguished men accords with the
popular idea Of the day. Some time ago few
gentlemen of this city, W. II. Aspinwsll, Sam
Barlow, August Belmont and some other
stockholders in oil companies, presented Gen.
Mcclellan with fine house. The friends Of
General Sherman are about to give him house
in Cincinnati. The admirers Of General Grant
have donated him splendid mansion in Phila-
delphia; and Admiral Farragut is to have a
magnificent house in this city. We are glad
that the metropolis has been chosen rs the
location Of this gift; for New York is just the
place for the Old Salamander. This subscrip-
ton, then, for "Colburn's Primary Arithmetic"
for provost Marshal General Fry-a substantial
because most useful presents quite
in keeping with the spirit of the age, and we
have an idea of taking advantage Of the public
generosity at the present time, by receiving
subscriptions for tombstone to General But

Since the recent peace conference Fernando
Wood has come out squarely for the Union and
the vigorous prosecution of the war, much to
the establishment Of his peace-at-any-price
friends. This simply shows that Fernando is
more accessible to reason than the majority Of
his clique. Now, is it not quite time for cx-
GovernoE Seymour, Peter Cagger, and Cassidy,
the Albany butcher boy, to follow Fernando
Woods example! They have well nigh ruined
the democratic party, and they ought to be
glad Of the chance to put it once more on q ma
tional footing. Let them desert the rotten plat
form by which they accomplished the defeat of
Mcclellan, and bring their party into line with
those who keep step to the music of the Union.

THE DEPARTMENT OF THE EAsT.-It appears
by one of our telegraphio dispatches from
Washington that the radicals there have been
making great efforts to induce the President to
remove General Dix from the command Of the
Department of the East, and TO put General
Butler in his place. But we see from the tone
Of the despatch that nothing of the sort is
likely to take place. II must be patent to the
President, as well as to everybody else, that
even if General Butler is to have a command,
New York city 10 not the place for him. Gene
raj Dix has managed this department with great
ability, and to the perfect satisfaction of the
whole community. In every case where his
authority was necessary it has been exercised
with flrmness, determination, dignity, and, with
al, with due circumspection. Any step tending
to his removal from this department. after such
faithful services, would be very unpopular with
the people. There il no officer SO much out Of
favor with our people at present as General
Butler, and we feel sure that the Secretary Of
War, with the memory of recent failures fresh
in his mind, will not readily consent to General
Buffers displacing the present efficient COM
mander Of the Department Of the East
