The soi-disant aristocracy Of New York have
not been able to capture General Grant. He was
carried off to Grace Church on Sunday last, and
performed his devotions like good Christian
But after service the fashionableS conspired ia
give him a musical treat, and sexton Brown was
depued to invite the General to hear the organ
play. "No," replied Grant don't know
one tune from another, and would rather hear q
bass drum than an organ any day." Grant is a
soldier all the way, through. Martial music and
the music of the Union are all that he cares to
understand.
The Copperheads are trying to raise false is
sue on the Union men, by charging that they
desire to force negro suffrage on the Southern
States. The Press we'll says that the only fore
ing of suffrage is the effort of the so-caled Dem
ocrats toforce traitors into Congress to vote down
loyal men, and to force the Government to per-
init the traitors at home to resume their recent
control to the exclusion of patriotic citizens.
The Richmond Eraniner-edited by the noto-
rious Pollard-was suppressed by the order of Gen
Grant, last week, because of its constant efforts
to excite enmity against the United States Gen
Grant at the same time declared his purpose to
pursue the same course toward any other paper
that might encourage sedition against the
Government. The President, upon the request
of Pollard, gave him permission to resume publ
cation upon condition that the paper should sup
port his administration.

The object of this suit is to procure an as
sgnment of an income for the maintenance
and support CT the complainant and her chill
dren, and for an INDUCTION preventing any dis
position by the defendant of his property.
The bill states that ON or about the 5th day
of September, 1854, the complainant and de
PENDANT intermarried with each other that
they lived together until the first of August
1865, when without any just cause the defen-
dant deserted the complainant and is suppoS-
ed to be living in the State of New York, un-
lawfully with another woman; that the COM
plainant is in destitute situation, with five
children of herself and defendant to support
without any means to do so. That the said de-
PENDANT is possessed of property in Baltimore
county and elsewhere, and that in all proba-
bility he will dispose of the same as soon as
he shall be informed of this proceeding and
leave the complainant and her children en-
tirely destitute of support.
And that the defendant is not now a resi-
dent of this State, it is thereupon this oath day
of February, 1866, adjudged and ordered, that
the complainant by causing copy of this or
der to be inserted in some newspaper publish
ed in Baltimore county, once in each of four
successive weeks before the 3lSt day of March,
give notice to the absent defendant of the OBJ
ject and substance of this bill and warn him
to appear in this court in person or by solicit
tor on or before
the I'd day Of July, 1865,
to answer the premises and show cause if any
he has, why decree ought not to pass as
prayed.

Union Men, Be on your Guard I

Just as our paper was going to press last week,
q notice was handed into the Office, calling q
mass meeting of the Citizens of the County, to
endorse the call of President Johnson. Append
ed to the call was notice stating that papers for
signatures to the call could be obtained at the
Journal Office. This note, and the well-known
political proclvities of those who are most prom
inent in obtaining signatures to the CALL Is suf-
Gent to show the real object of the proposed
meeting. 1t is simply movement of the disloy-
al element Of the County to organize party,
and was conceived by men who have been, and
still are, disloyal to the cou ntry, and by them
only. With the plausible pretext Of endorsing
the Presidents address to the Virginia Legisla-
tnre, and his Veto of the Freedmen's Bill, it is
supposed that many sound Uuion men, whose
views accord with those of the President, will
be drawn into the meeting. Loyal men Of Bal
timore county, be on your guard Do not be
deceived by the insiduous wiIes Of the very men
who for four years, denounced the government
of their countrywide have been assisting and
sympathizing with Southern traitors-and who.
in 1851, were in arms, attempting, a. far as lay
in their power, TO prevent the soldiers Of the
loyal States from reaching the Capital, to defend
it from the enemy who were almost laundering
at its gates. When you are told that the first
movement looking to this Mass Meeting !" was
made by George h. Carman, and that the papers
to obtain signatures are in the hands Of bis po-
liticai friends, touch II not Be assured that
nothing good, In politics can emanate from such
a source.

As will be seen by the above card, the interest
lately held by E. F. Church, Esq, in this paper,
has passed into my hands. To many of the read.
ers of the Union am no stranger. They will
remember me as having been identified with the
old Baltimore County american from the day it,
publication was commenced until left it, in
1862, to enter the army of our country. In as
sxming the position of editor of this journal,
have but few promises to make. The Union is
already known as firm supporter of the Union
cause and as in the past, it will be in the fu-
ture 1t will support the powers that be - in
all efforts to re-establish the Union upon proper
basis, but will oppose the placing of traitors in
Offices of trust or power. 1t will adopt as its
cardinal principle the maxim laid down by Pres
ident Johnson in his address to the Committee
fthe Virginia Legislature q that all the respon-
sible positions and places ought to be confined
distinctly and clearly to men who are loyal"
In relation to the business affairs of the Union,
would only say that all the accounts of Church
& Longneckers, extending back to the first Of
January last have been transferred to the new
firm, so that the partnership now formed between
the MesSrs. Longueckers and myself, may be con-
sidered as extending back to that time. lfn3 ~.
The lateness of the hour at which this ar

TERRIBLE RAvAGEs OF TRICHINA. -The Europe-
an papers present terrible pictures of the mortali-
ty attending the new disease, called trichna, -
in several parts of the continent The disease, al
is well known, is engendered by eating pork, in
which, though unseen, millions of animalcula
abound, that cannot be destroyed except by
long and hard boiling. These pass into the hui
man system, and the person is eaten up alive by
them, without being able to help himself.
German physician, Of Frankfort, who has given
the subject much consideration, wrote on the 9th
ult that in little place near Madeburg, one
hundred children had been endered orphans by
the disease, and upwards Of three hundred pa
tients were then awaiting death, which they
knew to be inevitable, from the same cause
The disease is reported to have appeared in some
Of the western cities of the United States.

The Presidents Views.

President Johnson, in an interview with Gov.
Cox, of Ohio on Saturday last, said that his po-
licicy had simply arrived at the earliest possible
restoration Of peace on the basis of loyalty. AS
no Congressional plan had been adopted, when
be entered upon the duties of his Office he was
obliged to adopt one of his own, which was, in
one sense, that of Mr.. Lincoln. Congress had
no just ground ofcomplaint that he had done so,
as they had not seen fit to declare their views
Military Governments could not be tolerated,
and not to restore the late rebellious States to
their proper position would be an admission of
the failure of the Administration and ofthe party
which had carried through the war, and hence
the necessity Of adopting policy which would
restore civil government fully, just as soon as the
rebellion should be thoroughly ended. He was
not opposed to the Freedmen's Bureau in toto,
for he had used it, and was still using it it
might continue for period of more than year
yet, and he would say to the people of the South
that it depends upon themselves whether the bu-
reau shall be discontinued at an earlier day, as
he would put an end to it as soon as they by
proper action for the protection of the freedmen
makeit unnecessary. His idea and policy was
to stimulate loyalty to the General Government
throughout the late rebellious States, and when
ever they show peaceful and law-abiding con-
dition martial law shall be removed. The con-
ditions required by the President having been
complied with, he regards his plan as a success,
and not as failure, and consequently had reor-
ganiZed the several departments of the Govern
ment therin, and all the Executive departments
recognized them as States in the Union. But
one thing remained in which the late rebelous
States did not exercise the full rights of States
representation in Congress. He would admit all
such Representatives as are in fact loyal men,
and none others. He did not ask to be the Judge
of the qualifications, or election, or loyalty, Of
members of Congress, as Congress was its own
judge, and he had no intention of interfering
with their constitutional right. If disoyal men
aud Rebels everywhere should give in their ad-
heson to his policy of restoration, he thought it
was precisely what loyal men would rejoice in,
as by thus committing themselves now it would
diminish the opposition Of the disloyal in the fu-
ture.

We publish in another column, a call for q
meeting the Union men Of the county, to be held
at the CoURT House., in Towsontown, on Monday
night next. proposes an endorsement Of Pres
ident Johnson's act in yetoing the Freedmen 8
Bureau Bill, and the policy lately enunciated by
himself, that none but loyal men should partici-
pate in the administration of the Government
Prominent speakers will be present.
As this is truly Union meeting, proposed and
called by Union men only, we earnestly urge ev-
cry truly loyal man in the vicinity who possibly
can come, to do so.

RENTS IN NEW YoRK.-Not only house rents
but store rents are going up in New York
The Journal of Commerce relates the following
case in point
GA dry goods firm have rented store for
the current year at $4,000. The owner called
on them a few weeks since to ask their inten-
tions for another year. They expressed wish
to remain if the terms were made agreeable
He offered to treat them fairly, and suggested
that $4,000 per annum for three years lease
would be reasonable advance. They indig-
nantly refused to treat and he left. After few
hours search for another place, they concluded
to pocket their indignation and accede to the
terms. Calling on the owner for this purpose,
they learned that they were too late, the prem
ises having been leased for three years at $780,
900 per annum. A further search left them
hopeless of securing anything more eligible,
and they have purchased the lease of the new
parties for bonus Of $4,000" SOB

The Political Position.

A special Washington despatch to the New
York Times, which we are probably right in at
tributing to Mr.. Raymond, says:
The general discussion on the future of the
great Union party, in view of recent events, has
been exceedingly vigorous here for the past few
days, and has thus far produced most encourage
ing and harmonious results. Comparing the
feeling of last Tuesday night with that of to-day
we cannot but feel elated over the aspect. This
has resulted in a great measure, from the admi
rable temper exhibited by Congress; and from
the wise counsels of many leading public men
outside of Congress- who are or have been here,
such as Governor Fenton, of New York, Gov
Cox Of Ohio, Ex-Governor Andrew, of Massa.
chuSetts, Generals Stedman, McCook and others
The speech of Senator Sherman to-day, going
forth 10 the country in connection with the Off
cial report of the interview between the Presi-
dent and Governor Cox, will have an excellent
effect in defining the true relations of the Union
party toward the President. In addition to this
there is an increasing feeling in Congress in IA
vor Of the admission of Tennessee and an effort
TO that end will undoubtedly be made this week
Many Union members who strongly disapproy I
OF the tone and temper Of .iIe Presidents speech
have expressed their willingness to-day to vote
for si5c' admission of Tennessee, because they
uOuCcny DCltCfC' iudt oldtc dOOVG I'LL OUTFITS,
is in proper condition to be represented, and
because they wish to present to the people of the
country practical and positive evidence of the
good faith Of the Union party in Congress in the
great work of restoration. 1t is not known
whether the matter will come up on a report
from the Committee on Reconstruction or by an
independent resolution; but it cannot long be de-
layed, and when it does come upit will probably
be in such shape as TO secure the favor of III
majority Of the Union members, and the opposi-
ton of the Democrats and few of the extreme
radicals. With practical evidence of its patriot
ism thus exhibited, the Union party will neither
be disrupted nor find the President outside of its
noble and well-tried organization. AS an evil
dence of the improved feeling here, | may say
that Colonel Forney's reception this evening is
attended by many of the warmest supporters OF
the President and much oil is being poured up
on the troubled political waters.
