Is DIR GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN, OR Nor p
Gen. Grant, by order A, dated Washington, July
l, 1866, has directed that all persons who have
been or may hereafter be charged with offenses or
crimes against officers, agents, citizens or inhabi-
tants of the United States, irrespective of color,
shall be arrested by military authorities, in cases
where the civil authorities have failed to arrest
and bring to trial the offending parties, and such
offenders to be held in military confinement until
such time as proper Judicial tribunal may be
willing and ready to try them.
As an humble citizen of the United States, I
wish for information on these points:
!. Is this order with or without the authority of
the President Of the United States2
2. IF by his authority, whence does he derive his
power? Is it constitutional power or usurping
power?
3. Does martial law still prevail anywhere in the
United States, and if So in what States portions
of States?
A. If Gen. Grant has issued this order without
authority from the President, from what source
does he derive his authority?
5. Is our government a military despotism or is
the Constitution the supreme law of the land?
s. Have the white people Of this country sac
ridced their liberty in order to free nOminally q
few millions of negro slaves?
7, Where false charge has been preferred
against party, and no action has been taken by
the civil authority in consequence, shall the ac-
Cused party lie in a military prison until the civil
authority shall take him out to try him on such
false charge?
s. Now that the war is at an end, in fact and az
proclaimed by the President is the civil or mill
tary authority supreme?
8. In fine, have we democratic republic or
military despotism? And is it a mark of treason
that one should believe that the civil authority
ought IN this, the best government in the world
be higher than the military?
Messrs. Editors, please 10 enlighten a man who
confesses here that he knows nothing of Mi these
subjects. TgNnR Ay7rs

THE PULsE-The action of the pulse will no
doubt be of much interest to our readers, 1t
probably is not known to many that the pulse of
female exceeds in frequency that of q male from
ten to fourteen beats per minute.
Many circumstances Influence its action, such
as muscular eXeTtion, mental excitement, the state
of the digestive organs, and the position of the
body, whether lying, sitting or standing. huscu-
lar action and mental excitement, as also the pro
cess of digestion, naturally increase it, it being
much quicker during the progress of digestion
than when digestion is not taking place.
In healthy males, from Is to 30 years of age, the
average Of the pulse, per minute, in standing
position, is from 76 to ST. sitting, from 10 to II
and lying down. from &C to 67-making differ
ence Of from to 10 beats between standing and
sitting, from to between sitting and lying, and
from ID to IL between standing and lying. In
healthy females Of the same age, it will be found
to be SO to 81, standing; 81 to 81, sitting; and 80
to 81 lying. This variation in the different posi-
tons is produced by the muscular action induced
by the change Of position.
At the different periods OF the day the pulse
Varies-as for instance, in a healthy person. it is
most frequent in the morning, and gradually de-
Creases towards evening. After excitement,
the diminution is greater and more regular in the
evening than in the morning. Food has the same
effect it at these periods, for in many instances,
the same food that will increaseis amount and du-
rationin the morning, will in the evening have no
effect whatever. During the hours Of sleep there
is great dimnuton.
The following table will show its variations at
different periods of life, being greater in childhood
than in old age, and gradually diminishing as we
grow older.

Letter from our Special Correspondent

Letter from o8r SnaCial CNrrespnnGeut1
BAaDAD, Mexico, JulyG, 1866
Oar Castle KohIssen,n Or Lag bones Cot. |
tage, !" had not hair of its head disturbed during
the late terrific revolution; and here am again,
enjoying the perpetual flaming Of the breeze aud
roar of the breakers If all the changes in Mexico
could be effected as smoothly and quietly as was
the recent change in Bagdad and Matamoros, it
would be we'll for the said country.
There arc no military Liberals in Bagdad at
present. not one and the town is virtually with
out government. A few citizens believe, do
patrol duty at flight, aud that is all. So if you
want to see quiet and free and easy place, come
to Bacdad
The captain of brig which was at anchor out
side the bar when the Imperialists left here had
been ashore several days enjoying himself at the
hotel. He concluded one day he had bettersee how
things were getting along on shipboard, and went
Quito his vessel. He found that his crew had been
enj Dying themselves likewise, in their own way.
They had broken into his cabin and taken all his
money and valuables, and drank all his liquors,
smashed the barometer and the pinnacle, fought
amongst themselves, and played the mischief
generally; and were mutinous to the captain
when he came aboard.
| The captain at once returned to shore to get
police assistance. The police were all gone-milt-
tary dtto-eonsu, Observation-Disclosures officers
nowhere-and he found himself helpless He then
lost his temper and gave the town good cursing ;
saying he had sailed all over the world; had been
in the interior Of China, aud in Japan, and the East
Indies, and Africa and South America, aud the Pa
cifc Islands, but that in all his saiIings, this was
the first id place he ever struck that had no
government. Finally the mutiueers were arrested
by the citizen police aud brought ashore, and held
in darance until a compromise was effected, and
they returned to duty.
The Fourth Of July barely got out this far. The
Americans in Bagdld threw out all the flags they
had, of whatever kind, whilst the little United
States garrison at ClarSsyile, on the hmeri-
can side, hoisted the American and Mexican
! flags together. This, with free whisky
drinking during the day and dance at
aght, was all that marked the glorious fourth "
al this jumpng-oT corner Of northern Mexico
and tile southwestern United States.
= On the day after the 4th, the whisky not having
entirely evaPorated, a mercantile gent and q
schooner captain went over to Uncle Sans side t
fight duel with reyoyors; leaving Bagdad frozeT
with suspense. How it was fixed | don't know
but no blood was split, though one Of the princi
g pals came back slowed, and the other shot il
the neck am tod it was q supremely ricl
affair.

GIN. ORDER No. 1.-THE Baton Rouge
Advocate, at The conclusion Of an article COM
nenting on General Sheridan's order, says:
Whatever may he our feelings in this matter Il
is our duty to obey and general orders Mo- "A
must meet with no opposition Rear no more
monuments 10 the loved and Lost, but there is no
order issued that in your hearts their memory may
not be forever green. Dissolve your charitable
organizations and let no more the names of the
famous brigades and regiments Of Louisiana offend
the sight of those in authority but forget if yoa
can their solid lines OF gray and their heroic
fame General orders cannot reach your hearts
though they may the graves of your kindred and
You notiorget although you must obey.
