J. General Hillyer, late of General
Grants staff. has been paraded before
the people of Illinois and Indiana by
the Democracy as the bosom friend of
General Grant, and he has been max
ing speeches, telling the peopleiwhat
General Grants political opinions
were. 80 - - I
We find the following in the Indi-
annapolis Journal of yesterday:
na "HEADoUARrERs ARMIES OF THE
UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON,
D. c., September9 8, 1886.
II see from the papers that you
have been making a speech, in which
you pledged me to political party.
| am, further, in receipt of letter
from General Gresham, of Indiana,
In which he says that his opponent
for Congress had published an extract
from a letter received from you, in
which you pledged me to the support
of President johnson, and as opposed
to the election of any candidate who
does not support his policy. You,
nor no man living, is authorized to
speak for me in political matters, and
/ ask you to desist in future. I want
every man to vote according to his
own judgment, without influence from
me. Yours. &C.,

1t has been frequently announced
that General Hillyer was coming to
this State to make speeches in the in
terests of the Copper-J Johnson party,

The Removal Of Stanton.

The news, says the N. Y. Day-Book, comes
from Washington that Edwin N. Stanton,
yilest Of mankind, will now certainly leave
the Cabinet We have heard this rumor
SO often, that we begin to distrust it entire.
ly, and shall wait for its realization before
we give it our confidence. In connection
with this report comes another rumor
which we exceedingly regret to hear. 1t
is said that President johnson intends to
break the fall of Stanton by giving him
the mission to Madrid, in other words, to
let him escape from the country unwhipt
of Justice. IF Stanton should have the
good luck to get away from these shores,
it is not at all likely that he will eyer re-
turn. He will hide his cowardly carcass
in some obscure European town, where he
can live in quiet ON the plumber he has
bagged, and where the avenging hand of
justice cannot reach him.
We beg President Johnson, however, not
to befriend the criminal, but turn him loose
on the society he has outraged. The
American people do not intend ever to for
give Stanton, Seward or Joe Holt. In some
way these wretches must be brought to
Justice in this life, unless in the meantime
death steps in and summons them to a
higher than earthly tribunal.

nouncement:

are to be carried at all hazards for the adj

quent converse with him, that such fatal
errors must not be allowed to occur in any
State where they can be prevented, and
there is the best possible authority for as.
sorting that he holds the same views. His
new position is cutting loose from those

A European friend Of mine related the
fclIowiDs story: I married a widow, Who

GRANTS NEWSPAPER ORDER.-
Writes the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger:
Whenthis order was issued telegraph
ed you that it was not by authority OF
the President, and, furthss, IL thai Il Il a Ii
not receivehis support. Inproufofthis,
it has been dead letter ever since. for
not a solitarynewspaper. North or south,
was suppressed, or even 'warned,n un-
der if, and now it Is repealed altogeth-
er. The Lieutenant General, during the
existence of The order, received from the
commanding generals of departments.
and others, any quantity oi'papers, chief
" from Dixie, containing what were re-
garded as disloyal utteraIces, but, as
have said, in no case was action taken.
simply for the reason that the order
was not approved in a higaer quarter.

The Niger Convention.

The Convention Of s1oydlistT in
Philadelphia, got up by jack Famil-
ton, Fred Douglas, Parson Bf6Wnlow,
7. j. Durant, and other men, with
black skins and blacker hearts, does
not seem to be as harmonious as the
similarity of views of it's o:'iginators,
had led us to believe. Every body ey-
pected that the first thing they would
do would be to enunciate the principle
that the '1oyal black man. throughout
the length and breadth Of the Republic
is as much entitled to the right Of suf-
frage as the white man, the red man,
OF the man of any other imaginable
color. Had not that most approved
black man, j. Madison Wells, an
nounced it rs an axiom that there can
be no safety to ssUnion men" until such
a eonsummation, and is not Mr.. Wells
opinion on the subject conclusive
among his sable associates? And yet
the first bone of contention thrown into
the harmonious camp of Philadelphia
"loyalists" was a proposition to declare
in favor of universal negro suffrage. AT
last accounts the proposition hung fire,
and the chances were in favor of its re-
.ection or an indefinite postponement
of action on the subject. The reason
is plain. Universal negro suffrage,
among the Radicals, means only me-
gro suffrage at the South. They dc
not believe in negro suffrage at the
North, and all efforts to get it adopted
as a general rule have signally failed
But they find it necessary, in order to
strengthen their hands in their work Of
degrading the South, to put upon the
Southern people the indignity of en-
franchising their former slaves. They
fnA too, such infamous wretches as
Wells, Brownlow aud Jack Hamilton,
ready tools in their hands for the ac-
complishment of their purposes.
We do not believe that the .1oyal-
lists" will accomplish anything by their
Convention. They are too contempti-
bic TO be noticed by any respectable
body of politicians, either at the North
or South, and their own Implicitly has
been too plainly shown by their ac-
tons to have any effect on the result of
the approaching elections.

MAY FoRREsr.--During the war, and
while the Federals occupied Memphis,
and wereoverruning Tennessee, some of
Gen. Forests men found a little girl in
the woods, who was TOO young to tell
her name, or theresidence efher parents.
they tenderly cared for her and nursed
her with mothers devotion until a
suitable opportunity was presented
when they carried her to Memphis, and
confded her TO the kind inmates OF
Agnes Convent. The little creature
was found in the forest by Forests
men in the month of May, and the
and Lady Superior has named her Nav

CANNIBALIsM IN THE PAoIFIC.-A
letterfrom Plymouth, England, publish
ed in the London Star, says:
Advices received by the Norseman
state that boats crew belonging to
the French war steamer Fulton have
been killed, cooked and eaten. by the
natives of New Caledonia. The officers
and crew of the Fulton, in retaliation,
have taken summary vengeance upon
the sayages, killing every one they
could catch in that neighborhood, and
setting fire to their villages. Over one
hundred and fifty had been shot and
bayonetted, besides those burnt.
