The London Reader says that Carlo
Patti, the viOlinist, a brother of the fair
Adelina, whom Cleveland readers will
remember to have visited here with
Gottschalk, is soon to make his appearance
in Paris.
Senator Wade has denied that Robert
Fleming, who published a card in refer
ence to the alleged attempted assassina-
ton, was the man whom he intended, and
confirms Jennings account of his visit.
The kicked-Out individual came after
Fleming had departed.
Queen Victoria is reported as shocked
at discovering that the Prince and Prin-

in a little blue satin sanctum called their

William Cullen Bryant, who is now
over seventy years old, retains the usual
vigor of his intellect, and still walks with
a springing elastic step. At a distance he
strongly resembles Prof. Stowe, although
he is much smaller and far more active.
His beard is long and gray, his forehead
is wide and lowering, his eye is expressive
and vigilant, Though he has been a hard
worker in The various fields in which he
has been employed, he yet bears all
his weight of years "lightly as a flower
Mr.. Bryant has risen slowly. Though
his youth was precocious it was some time
before his talents produced anything that
rewarded him largely in a pecuniary sense
He has known what it is to tread the
thorny path.

rhe GuIIIotLne at work.

Whatever other pledges he breaks OF
fulfls, President johnson is evidently bent
on keeping his promise, made some days
since to the Conservative Union mer, that
he would give offices only to those who
would support his policy. The most re-
cent Indication of this determination is
the removal of certain Federal officers in
Kentucky. Johns Nixon, Collector, and
William S. Rankin, Assessor, of Internal
Revenue in the Sixth (Covington) District
of Kentucky, have been removed by the
President. The Senate has confirmed
Captain James Hudnal, of Pendleton
county, as Collector in place of Mr.. Nix
on, and Edgar Kenon, lately of Frank
fort, as Assessor, in plEce of Mr.. Rankin.
Mr.. Kenon is the brother-in-law Of Gene
raj G. Clay Smith, representative in Con
gress from the Sixth Kentucky District.
The President has also removed Postmaster
Cummings, of Covingtcn, and appointed
in his stead Jesse r. Grant, father Of the
L~ieutenant-G General. It is stated that this
change is the result of enquiries, semi-oti-
cial in their nature, as to the opinions of
the officers removed, who were found to be
radical in their views. This may there
fore be regarded as IN index of the Presi-
dents course in the future, and all office
holders who can't swallow his policy had
better stand from under. Whether the
Senate will confirm allthese appointments
remains to be seen.

New Name.

1t is proposed to change the name of
the United States to AMERICA. Mr.. An
derson, representative in Congress from
Missouri, sometime since offered a joint
resolution proposing IN amendmentto the
Constitution, in effect that the title above
all others is constantly conceded to this
country throughout the world, and which
is its proper title, as the ruling power of
the hemisphere, to-wit AMERICA, shall
hereafter supercede the term of "the
United States of America" There are
several other governments known under
the name of the limited States" and it is
contended that the term is not sufficiently
comprehensive and significant to indicate
the real unity and destiny of the Ameri-
can people. England includes all the
possessions of that little island, which,
however, is the seat of empire; SO Austria,
Russia, Prussia, France, each represents
the aggregate of States.

The eitisens Of New York, Boston and
ther principal cities-or probably two
7 three hundred or 6 thousand in each
ave memorialiEed Congress to appro-
o rate n hundred and ninety-two thou
and dollars to be divided among the
Ulcers and crew of the Kearsarge. Many
eople viii very naturally ask what this
arge expenditure is for. 1t can hardly
e intended as pay proper for the officers
nd crew of that vessel. Purseas are not
n the habit of getting so far behind hand
their payments. We presume this sum
asked as prize money, the equivalent
of what could have been realized from
he disposal Of Alabama Fer our part,
we can net see the propriety-necessity
here is.none-of complying with this re-
quest. Commodore Winslow and his
officers and men are entitled to the thanks
of the people for their bravery, and will
ever be held in grateful remembrance for
the signal service they rendered in sup
pressing the rebellion. But they did
nothing more than their duty, and ought
not with propriety ask farther pecuniary
recompense than that afforded by their
salaries. In this connection, candor COM
pels US 20 ssy that the whole system of
giving prize money to the navy seems to
be wong. Men in the navy are paid by
the Government for the services they
render, and are furnished quarters and
rations at the expense of the government
why, then, should they be entitled to re-
ceive large perquisites in the shape of
money realized from captured ships and
stores7 With just as much reason-if
anything, more-oficers and men serving
in the army are entitled to the proceeds of
property captured from an enemy on
land. BY all odds the army had the
worst time Of it. lis hardships are as
great, if not greater, and its risks in battle
more fearful than those Of the navy, while
its pay is mot larger. As the government
claims the right to appropriate to its own
use all the property captured by the army,
there is no reason why the same rule
should not apply under similar circum-
stances to the navy.

4 Claim Arain.t Photographer.

Considerable excitement is now being
created among photographers by a sweep
ing claim now presented against every
Photographic establishment in the United
States. About two years ago a Mr.. Cut
ting, of Boston, obtained a patent for the
use of promides in collodion, a process
used by every photographer, and which is
claimed to have been public property in
Europe for years. A subscription was
raised by the various Photographic estab-
lishments Of the Union, under the aus
pices of Messrs. Bogardus and Fredericks,
Of New York, to contest the patent, but
after an unsYailing contest Mr.. Freder-
icks has published a circular, stating that
he has satisfied himself that the patent of
Mr.. Cutting is valid, and that photo
graphers had better do as he had done
pay something for the use of the process.
1t seems that MI. Cutting has assigned his
right to some enterprising speculator,
who notifies photographers that he will
charge nothing for the past but will ex-
pect them to pay for first class establish
ment $50 per year, and second class s25
per year, for the remainder of the term of
the patent.

Trial of a Quartermaster.

Z John G. Ford, late Captain l63d com
pany Veteran Reserve Corps, and acting
Quartermaste- at Mobile, has been tried by
Court Martial in that city, and is sentenced
to pay a fine of slO,O 900 and be imprisoned
IN the p~enitentiary at Nashville, Tenn,
one year, for Incorporating public
property for repair of steamboats, and re-
ceiving brides for doing so. The Mobile
Advertiser says of the case: On the arri-
val of Colonel Wickersham, Chief Quar-
termaster, at this post, On the 9Th of No
vember last, his attention was called 10
certain irregular practices on the part of
officers at this post in their relations with
steamboats,. By diligent investigation,
he discovered some fraudulent transac-
tons, and brought them to the attention
of the Government. Through his labors in
this direction, nearly $4,000 of labor and
material, which was practically lost to the
Government through the agency of Capt.
Ferd, was recovered.

The Toronto Globe wants to know why
no United States paper has as yet pub
lishediMr. Derby's report to the Secretary
ofthe Treasury on the reciprocity treaty,
and intimates that it is because of an I'M
fair desire to keep the truth from their
readers. The answer to the Globes ques-
ton is obvious. The length of the report
which would occupy some ten or twelve
columns Of the LEADER, is entirely dis.
proportoned to its importance, at least in
the eyes of the people of the United States.
In Canada the question of reciprocity is
a central and vital one. A reciprocity
treaty of some sort would seem essential
to the commerce of Canada. In the
United States, on the contrary, the ques-
ton is of trivial Importance, when com
pared with the great issues of ~reconstruc-
tionT the Monroe doctrine, and our
claims upon England. And this is the
reason that while the Canadian per
publish Mr.. Derby's report and bristle
with editorials on the subject of reciproei-
ty, our American journals pay but little
attention to it. The treaty is repealed,
and will never again be enacted. Nor are
we, on this side, particularly -anxious for
another one.

The President aud the Party.

Washington correspondence N. Y. Tribune.J
AS to the effect of the firm stand taken
by the President in his interview with the
Virginia delegation, l may refer you to
the g~ood-humored, or rather, the conde-
scending illusions to it which were in
dulged in yesterday in the conversation &C
cempanying Mr.. Henderson's speech in the
| Senate. That the President should have
thrown out a direct threat against the
{" radicals was treated rather as Il good
joke, or, perhaps, even as a poor one. AT
all events, it seemed more calculated to
disturb the gravity of the Senate than to
strike awe and terror into the hearts of
representatives of the people whe think
they have to obey the commands OF their
consciences in preference to those OF any
mani in power. If "the Presidents friends
were true friends, they would have told
him, not that by indulging in such I'M
reasonable freaks of temper ne has re-
gained his influence over the majority of
Congress, but that he has put himself in
imminent danger of losing its respect.
I,Another thing of significance is the
semi official announcement Of the Presi-
dents intention, not indeed to bestow his
patronage upon Democrats, but to discrim-
mate in the distribution of offices against
those Union men who do not "support
the Presidents policy" This
ment was made in the form of a CONVEX
sation with a distinguished representa-
tive"-meanihg, us the Washington pa
pers tell us, Mr.. Raymond. 1t is, then, the
avowed policy of the Administration to
rule the Republican party by the appear
ances of public plumber, and to array the
postmasters and revenue officers against
the popular conscience. Public opinion
here has been prepared for this for some
time, and SO nobody was taken bysurprise.
Some rather singular cases had become
known, in which the President had over
ridden the recommendation of Senators
and Representatives, and indeed of entire
delegations, in removing from office men
who mad opinions of their own, and APP
pointing others who could be counted up
on under all circumstances to support
the Presidents policy" The most note
worthy circumstance connected with these
cases was, that the Senators and Reprez
sentatives whose recommendations had
thus been set aside, were rather less in
clined to "%retiect the opinions of the EX-
e%cutive' the day after, than the day be-
fore.
1t appears the powers at the White
House have fallen into a fatal estate. They
undoubtedly labor under the impression
that they have to deal with tn old Wing,
the old Democratic party, and, follow
their old practices, they think it a cap
persuasion fails. They evidently do not

One of these brassy brigadiers sat with
his hat on for full one hour before the ex-
ercises began. As no one else, not even
a very Western Representative, thus
marked himself, the hated brigadier at
tractcd a good deal more attention in the
House than, 1 venture to say, he ever did
in the field. And he seemed to enjoy the
sensation he created, thinking, no doubt,
that the galleries regarded him as the only
surviving brigadier, out of the five thous-
and created in the last four years, and
nearly five thousand more brevetted from
suffers and detectives. Some of the re-
porters were so anxious to learn who the
hated b~rigadier was that they sent him a
note; but the laundering boy took it to
the wrong desk, and gave it to a major
general, who looked Mortified at being
addressed as a brigadier, and then put his
hand up to see if his hat Vas on.
