THE GAINESVILLE Courier relates this

THE GAINESVILLE Courier relates this
anecdote of Sherman;
In conversation with a number of
officers at his headquarters in the fall
of 1864, the Presidential election was
touched upon, when some of the num-
Der addressed General Sherman with :
General who will you vote for?"
81 shall vote for neither"
''Not vote! That is very strange!"
"I'll tell you why" said the Gen
eral, "Inever voted but once, and then
[ disfranchised myself"
Such looks of wonder and credulity
as this produced may be imagined,
but the General, paying no attention
thereto, proceeded:
II never voted for President but
once in my life, and that was for Bu-
chanan, and | am since satisfied that
any person who was d-dfoo enough
to do that, has not sense enough to
exercise the elective franchise. / dis
franchised myself and consequently
shall not vote. y
aA- A letter from Warren county
says: General Hobson is gaining daily
in this county. We expect to elect
Union men for all the county offices.
From all quarters comes the cheer
ing report that General Hobson, is
every day gaining ground, and that
the people are opening their eyes to
the vast importance of sustaining the
Union by their votes at this election.

What 1t will be Composed or

We have referred to the protest of
the New York Times against the ad-
mission of such men as Wood and
Valfandigham to the Philadelphia ex-
rebel Convention. The World, of
Tuesday, shows that it is impossible
to exclude them, or Dick Taylor, or
any one else, not radical Union man,
who is " duly elected to represent any
body" and adds that mo test will ex-
clude them which will not empty the
Convention" Very true The
strength of the Copperheads and ex-
rebels in that Convention is increas-
ing daily. The notorious Judge Wood
ward, of Pennsylvania, has just been
appointed a delegate, with number
of others of the same class. While
nearly every Northern State now has
appointed Copperhead delegates, Indi-
ana is the only one which has dele
cation of men who once voted with
the Union party, and they represent
nobody, because it took all the mate
rial in the State to make up the list

A meeting of the Ohio Democratic
Club in Washington City, was called
to meet the other evening at room
No. POP Metropolitan Hall, 8 in aid of
the Democracy of Ohio in the present
campaign" What was said and done
at POP on the occasion has not tran
spired. The significance of 202 to the
outside world is that it was the head
quarters of G. L. Vallandigham, now
in Washington City. 1t is in vain
that the party attempts to shake off
the Old Man of the Sea. The Demo
cracy may snub him in the appoint
ment of delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention, and the Ohio Statesman
apologize for his presence at the State
Convention. 1t is all the same to
him. He assumes to be party mag
nate, and, rushing off to the political
center, seizes the wires and puts him
self in connection with the entire or
ganization. Indefatigable as De San
ty, he announces all right at the
very moment the Democratic cable is
parting, and shareholders are in dis
tress. If it breaks, he will be on
hand when another is laid in Phila
delphia, to open communications and
shape the messages to be sent over ii
to the people. He is just now en-
deavoring to put himself in confden-
tial relations with the President.
How far he will succeed remains tC
be seen.-C Cincinnati Commercial.

MORE TESTIMONY FROM A BRAVE i.
SOUTHERN UNIONIST.
The following important correspond
ence between Hon. VIM. D. Kelley
and General CAN'T, of Arkansas, adds
another chapter to the volume that
convicts Andrew johnson, not simply
of inconsistency, but of gross betrayal
of the most sacred trust ever confded .
to man. General CAN'T is now In +
Washington, and if his eloquent ap-
peals to the people during the rebel
lion had not elevated him among the
most eloquent champions of the Re-
public, his present attitude would Sc
cure him universal gratitude. Reluc-
tant to present his testimony, it will
be seen that the writer presents
an irresistible argument. Judge Kel-
ley and General CAN'T concur in the
fact that when they left Andrew ohm
son it was in the firm belief that he
heartily sympathized with them as to
the necessity of vindicating the same
common principles. His frankness
was as marked to them as it was to
others; his opposition to traitors and
Copperheads as freely and as bitterly
expressed. Hence, when their expe-
rience is submitted to the process of
comparison and examination, their
conclusions cannot fail to weigh pow
erfully upon all conscientious and
patriotic men:
WASHINGTON, July IL, 1866.
General E. W. CAN'T:
DEAR SIR: Since April, 1865, /
have not heard from you, except oc-
casionally through the public papers.
Our views of national policy and per-
sonal duty were then in perfect accord,
and when we parted we were cheered
by the elaborate assurances of the
President that his views and purposes
were entirely coincident with ours. L
am anxious to compare notes with you,
now that you have had fifteen months
experience in Arkansas and Louisiana,
but fear that l cannot adapt my hours
to yours. Will you, therefore, permit
me to request you to give me your
views in writing? 1t is important
i that the true men of the two sections
should understand each other, and
this must be my excuse for proposing
such draft upon your time.
Yours, very truly
WILLIAM D. KELLEY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 19, 1866


Hon. W. d. Kelley: .f
DEAR SIR: will respond to your
kind letter of the 18th, which is be-
fore me, as concisely and succinctly
as possible, and yet fear that [ shall
weary you. -
The war being ended, but one thing
remains to be done, and that Is, for
the defeated party to : accept the sttU-
atiOn"
The war originated from an irrecon-
cilable conflict of opinions upon the
questions of secession and slavery.
The surrendering of its opinions (or
the points at issue) by the losing
party; the incorporation of the prin-
ciples settled by the winning party, in
whole or in part, into the life of the
Government; and the laying down of
precedents in the treatment of those
engaged in rebellion which may be
used to prevent and punish treason in
the future, follow naturally and logic
ally the result of the armed conflict.
Then what is the situation so
much talked of ? 5nso
The unconditional surrender of the
armies, as required by General Grant,
came first, and then the taking of the
oath of allegiance by the citizens.
The repudiating of the Confederate
debt by the States and the adoption
of the Constitutional Amendment
abolishing slavery were required by
President johnson as conditions pre-
cedent to restoration.
Thus far had the President defined
the situation when Congress met.
After a careful survey of>what the
Executive had required, Congress
thought it advisable to impose other
conditions.
The first was the Civil Rights Bill,
and
The second, the Constitutional
Amendment.
These requirements of the Presi-
dent and Congress, as understand it,
constitute the situation" ;"
Which itself being accordingly de-
fined, means,
Accepting the termination of hos
tilities by an unconditional surrender
of the armies;
Repudiating the Confederate debt;
Adopting the Constitutional Amend
ment abolishing slavery, and incor-
porating its provisions in their organic
law; es
Granting to the negro all protectlon
to life, limb and property that any
other man has, coupled with al po-
litical privileges except that Of Vot-
ing; ~
Agreeing to send representatives to
Congress based upon the number of
citizens who are not dlstranchlsed by
States of the Union;.
And for a precedent to govern in
the future, consenting to exclusion
from Office of certain persons engaged
in the rebellion.
The situation, TINS defined, has
been in part accepted. How reluct-
antly. in consequence of the action of
vindictive and ambitious politicians
South, the facts most abundantly
attest.

Bg- Gen. Harrow, Union candidate
for Congress, delivered most effect
i've speech in this place on Monday.
Although the notice given of his
coming was very short, large crowd
congregated to hear him-a larger
crowd, we can truthfully say, than
was in attendance at the Democratic
Convention on last Saturday, which
had been advertised for several weeks.
The General spoke in clear and dis
tinct manner, and left no room for
doubt as to what his political senti-
ments are He spoke of the Civil
Rights bill recently passed by Con-
gress, in connection with the Fugitive
Slave Law, and showed how incon-
sistent were the Democratic poll
ticians in indorsing the latter and de-
nouncing the former-one being in
the interest of Slavery and the other
in the interest of Freedom. In
answer to the charge of s. abolition
ism," so freely made by Snowman
Cofroth, Judge Laird, and others,
against the Union party, he briefly
stated that as the peculiar institution
had been wiped out by virtue of the
war, the responsibility of its abolition
rested solely with the instigators and
perpetrators of the rebellion. He
sustained the Constitutional amend
ment now before the people as one
of the issues of the day, with logical
reasoning and sound argument, re-af-
frming what has been published in
the Clarion at different times concern
ing it.
The Generals speech was attentively
listened to, and will secure to him the
earnest support of every Union man
who heard it.
We shall be pleased to have the
General call this way again, when
longer notice can be given.-Princeton

When the ship Miltou Of New BEDFORD,
commanded by Captain HaIsey, Of Bridge-
hampton, was cruising IN the gulf for
whales, they discovered large one which,
in spoutiug produced a whistling sound
from one OF the air holes, similar to that
made by a steam whistle. Chase was given,
and two harpoons aud a bomb lance
through his liver ended his career. When
the order was given TO cut or his head. the
man who engaged in this duty placed his
feet in the spout holes, and in doing 80 one
of them was cut. Upon examination, 1t
WAS found chat the monster had a harpoon
blade In his head running transversely
through the spout hole, so Ss t. produce
the whistling sound which had drawn at
tcution to him upon his discovery. The
name of Central America was on the blade.
1t was aseertained that this vessels last
voyage took place some fourteen years pre-
vious to the capture, 40 that the blade had,
In all probability, been imbedded in the
animals head during this period at least.
To confirm this opinion the shan was found
IN he eaten of by rust nothing but the
blade being left Tic whale afforded his
captora one hundred and eighty barrels OF
oil.

A New and Grand Epoch in Medicinel

DR.. MAGGIEL is the founder Of new
Medical System; The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all-healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stercotyped nostrums
of the day. Extraordinary cures by
MaggiePs Pills and Salve have opened
the eyes of the public to the inefficency
of the $50 called) remedies of others, and
upon which people have so long biindly
depended. MaggiePs Pills are not of she
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two Of Maggiel's Pills suffices to place the

and no reaction in the form of constipa-

system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very

For the Citizen.
Mr.. EDITOR In reading over the
advertisements in your paper, notice
one by the Directors of Butler Borough.
Offering for sale the "Square of ground,
fronting on North St, having thereon ,erec-
ted atwo>story brick building now used
for school purposes" and inviting sealed
proposals until the first of December
next; possession to be given on the first
day of April next.
From this, it will be seen that said Dir
rectors have determined to sell. said
school>house and lot, and as far as the
citizens of .he Borough are informed,
this sale is to be private one, II adc upon
'sealed proposals" Are there private
parties who desire TO purchase this prop>
erty below its real value Or do our
worthy Direcsors believe that they can
procure more for said property by accepts
ing sealed proposals than selling the same
at public outcry? No doubt our Board of
directors are fully competent and well
qualified to discharge all their duties,
and we do not desire to be understood as
even intimating that they intend to do
otherwise; but we may be permitted to
say, that we are of the opinion, that the
property which they propose to sell, should
be disposed of at Public outcry, and sold
to the best and highest bidder, whether
the same be upon sealed proposal or at
public bid.
Another important inquiry arises here
based upoa the proposed sale, and is as
follows: Do the Directors intend that
we shall be without schools during the
summer of 1867 +? If not, where are the
schools to be kept? 1t is also, of some
importance to the citizens of the Borough
to know whether the directors intend
putting up large and substantial build
ing the coming summer for school pur>
poses, and where the same is to be built
1t will be admitted by all that good and
comm odious building for our public schools
is very much needed; but when We take
into consideration the fact thqt labor of
all kinds and especially mechanical labor
is extremely high, and that materials of
all kinds necessary for building purposes
are proportionably high with that of labor,
it be comes question of considerable i'm
portanco to the tax payers of the Bor-
ough who will have TO foot the bill; whe-
ther it is expedient at present to under
take so large contract. All are interested
in this matter, and whatever is done,
should be done understandingly, satisfac-
torily and as unanimously as possible, SO
that when action is taken, all may be
prepared to aot together, that everything
may move along smoothly. Will the di-
rectors enlighten the tax payers of the
Borough on these matters?
