Gustav VS.. Grant.

General GUSTAV, it will be remem-
bered, was the noisiest of the Presi-
Dental party as it swung round the
circle" He was one Of the most &C
tive and prominent workers of the
late Cleveland bogus Convention. At
nearly the close of the third and final
session Of that body of JOHNSON sol
diers and sailors, General GUSTAV
made speech, as follows:l1 sn~ -
FELLOW SOLDIERS Some people think
that a regular army officer should not m ed
die with politics; butt think they would
be we'll pleased with such meddling if it
were in their behalf daughter and APP
plause.l bshall do as please. -yH Sd
General GUSTAV made himself very
enthusiastic in that body of partisans.
More than once he jumped up from his
seat on the platform, and calling for
cheers, swung his hat, and started
them Justify with a hip, hip, hip,
hurrah., 81
In contrast with this, we give an
extract from Gen. GRANT, reply to an
invitation to be present at the Sol
diers' and Sailors Convention at
Pittsburg, now in session. The reply
was written under his dictation, by
his Aid -de-camp, Col ADAM BADEAU,
and the material portion is as follows:
He instructs me to say that it is contrary
to his habits and to his convictions of duty
to attend political meetings of any charac-
ter whatever, and that he has seen with re-
greet the action of any officer of the army
taking conspicuous part in the political
dissenttons of the day. H19aiHo3 .,E
If GUSTAV has any respect for his
superior in command, he should feel
a little unpleasant. in his present re-
lationsu9b .e.a ~ -tlzuah
In order thatthe soldiers may know
the character Of this champion of the
President, we copy one of his official
orders, issued by him at his headquar-
tiers, at Alexandra, Louisiana, June
oath, 1865. It reads as follows:
&c Every violation of this order win re-
ceive prompt and severe punishment. Ow-
ing to the delays of courts martial and
their ifnpracticabilfty when the command
is unsettled. it is hereby ordered that any
enlisted man of this command violating
the above order, or committing depreda-
tions upon the persons or property of citi- |
zens, will have his head shaved, and in adj
dition, tUiH receiue Twenty-Five ldSheS on his |
back, aoeu laid on. This punishment will, |
in all cases, be administered under the su-
pervision of the Provost Marshal, who is /
charged with the execution of this order, |
so far as it lies in his power" lqre
Think of veterans who had fought |
on almost every bloody battlefield of
the South, being tied up and dashed
like slaves for petty offences against
discipline! Yet that was the
punishment prescribed by General
GUSTAV for soldiers who had fought
CALAMITY against the enemies of their
country and their flag. Nor was the
order nullity. We remember that the

What They Think OF .Niblack at
Washington.

We copy the following from the
Washington Qnd.) Gazette:
w. E. Niblack, i'm recent speech at Ev-
ansville, denied that he ever said in a
speech at this place, that he 'had never
voted one man or dollar to carry on the
war" We state emphatically that he did
use the language, and it can be proven by
prominent men of his own party, and we
can see the necessity for lying about it.
What do our Democratic friends think of
a man who will deny his own words? Do
you think he is worthy of your confidence
and regards? Are you willing to cast your
vote and be represented by LIAR9 We
hope not.

Continued Abuse of Niblack by his
Friends,

There appears to be a deliberate
and persistent system of abuse of our
Representative in Congress by his own
party friends. When it is remembered
that he is responsible for the worthless
Bounty Bill, and the originator of the
provision to increase the pay of mem
bers of Congress, the following ex-
tracts from the papers which support
the President are rather hard on Mr..
NIBLACK:
2 THE EXTRA PAY PYRAMID. The Radical
Congress, of which Eggleston, Hays, Clark,
Schenck, Shellabarger & Co. are members,
voted two years extra pay, as follows:
For each white soldier ...................S so
For each negro soldier.................... 100
For each member of Congress. 1000
- Cincinnati Enquirer. Fiji.
THE ELECTION FUND VOTED BY Con-
GREss.-A good deal of surprise has been
expressed that Congress did not postpone
the vote increasing the pay of its members
until the next session. The reason begins
to be apparent The extra $1,000 was need
ed to secure their reelection. Each men,
Der has that sum extra, to be devoted to
this specific purpose.-N. y. Times
