rhe Law.

The neutrality law, under the terms Of
which the President issued his proclams-
ton against the Fenians, and which the
pro-Fenian element in Congress desire TO
repeal, was passed in Congress in 1878.
In substance, it provides that if any eiti-
zen of the United States, shall, within
the border of the same, accept and exer-
else a commission to serve a foreign prince
with whom the United States are at peace,
shall be fined not moro than ten thousand
dollars, and imprisoned not exceeding
three years. Punishment is also provided
in case he shall induce others TO 60 be-
yond the limits of the United States, as a
soldiers or marines in such service The
section particularly applicable to the Fe-
mans provides "that if any person shall,
within the territory or jurisdiction OF
the United States begin, set on foot, OF
provide or prepare the les for any
a military expedition to be carried from
/" thence against the territory or domin-
"ions of any foreign prince or State OF
"colony, district or people with whom the
" United States are peace, every person
81 so offending shall be deemed guilty of q
"misdemeanor, and shall be fined not
LESS than three thousand dollars, and
imprisoned not less three years"

managing OF Con. Scoli.

Kind enough at heart, and thoughtful
of his troops when in service, he permit
ted no undue familiarity on the part Of
his soldiers, and required proper observ-
auce on all occasions of his rank and po-
sition. The regulars knew this well
enough, snd we're not likely 10 offend in
this regard. His peculisrities were very
little known, however, 10 the volunteers.
As he came out Of the building in which
his headquarters were at this time, an or
DERBY stepped up with, as it appeared af-
terward, a letter from one of the bureaus
Of the War Department, which he had
been directed to deliver to Gen. Scott at
once-of course to his adjutant general or
chief Of staff. The willing but not well
learned volunteer Interpreted his order lit
orally, however, and carelessly giving the
salute, began "Oh, General, here's a pa
per l want you to look at before you"
The naughty veteran of fourscore
seemed dumbfounded for just n or two
seconds, and then, Strengthening 10 his
full height, and raising his cane, with q
sudden sweep of the ARM think he had
a cane-he exclaimed in q weighty voice F.:
CLEAR our, sir-clear out The aston
ished Orderly sprang away, and the Gen
eral passed to his carriage and was driven
of. The letter was taken charge of by
the Orderly on duty at the Office, and the
other slowly walked on. The carriage
was driven no more than twenty or
thirty rods before it turned about, and the
driver called to the unfortunate Orderly.
He, Of course, met it with hat in hand and
fear in every quivering muscle. He was
beckoned 10 the door, and the General
asked his anne and regiments he told
two or three Of US Immediately sfterward.
He gave both, and the General answered
"Well, sir, report to your Colonel that
you were guilty Of gross disrespect 10

eral Scott was guilty Of gross disrespect
to you as a man. General Scott begs
your pardon. Go to your duty, sir

The Virginian continued on his Journey

with his friendly old host. Accordingly he
rode up to the gate, and seeing one Of the

him SLOW is the old gentleman, our

Upon the Virginian's suggesting 70 the

"No, stranger, it war not the whisky.

Another Candidate for Secretary of
STATE.

General Charles F. Wilder, of Athens,
has been prominently named as a can
didate for the Office of Secretary Of State
before the Union Convention 10 assemble
at Columbus on the 24th. The Ohio
State Journal, Athens Messenger, and
other Union papers of Ohio, endorse him
warmly. He was formerly Lieutenant
Colonel Of the 10th Ohio, and with that
rank commanded a brigade in General
Sheridan's army at the battle of Cedar
Creek, October 10Th, 1864. He held a
position Oh the left, in Crooks Army Of
West Virginia, which received the shock
of Gorlon's sudden and furious attack
from the left and rear in the early morn
ing. For gallant conduct in that action
he was recommended for the brevet rank
OF Brigadier General, which honor was
conferred on him in February, 1865,
while serving in the Army of the james.
Subsequently he was appointed Colonel
fthe Is6th Ohio, and served honOFably
with it in the Southwest till the close of
the war.
In politics General Wilder is astraight
out Unionist. He was formerly editor Of
the Athens Messenger, and is a lawyer OF
fine reputation in that locality.
