Save your Old Shoes.

10 the Editors Of Commercial: Gentlemen-Early
this morning noticing girl, the daughter of labor
ing man, in the street. without shoes, was led to
inquire into the condition of the family and found
that with their wages they could not procure shoes
for the children, and that from present appearances
would not probably be able to do so this winter
The high price of shoes makes it very bad for
these classes, and still more so for many who may
not have regular employment.
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of families
in the city who have shoes which are not entirely
worn out; while they would not wear thcm thcy
would be a great thing to others.

it be known, or send them to the rooms of the Poor
Association where the agents for the poor could fur

them.

General Logan and Mexico.

IUeSpatch 10 the CINCINNATI Gazette.
CHICAGO, November 22.-I have it from
General Logan himself that he has no official
notice of his appointment as Minister to
Mexico, and as consequence he has neither
accepted nor declined such appointment
When the place is offered to him by the Presi-
dent, the President and the people will be in
formed of his determination. In the mean
time no person is authorized to say what he
will do, or what he will not do. OF course all
the ridiculous stories about his insisting, as a
condition of his appointment, that he shall
have an army of 10000 men to accompany
him to the City of Mexico, are pure fctions.

Governor Humphreys telegraphed to the
President lately, that the colored troops at

dies. Their officers were unable to control
them. He says the Legislature has been
memorialized for the removal of the troops,
and that the Legislature is willing to extend
the right to freedmen to testify in the courts
if the troops are withdrawn.
The President replied that the troops would
be Withdrawn when peace and order could be
maintained without them. Measures should
be adopted giving protection to all freedmen
in their possession Of property. and which will
entitle the people of the State to assume their
constitutional rights. There is no disposition
on the part of the Government, the President
says, arbiJrarilyto dictate but simply to advise
a policy that is beneficial.
