Two thieves from Kenosha passed through this

long enough to appropriate to themselves -four

their harness, and than went on to Chicago. The

We clip the above item from the Waukegan
Patriot of last week, for the purpose of pro
testing against that loose way of stating
things. One would naturally suppose from
this paragraph, that we kept thieves as a
general rule here. We don't do that sort of
thing, we can assure the Patriot man. How
does he know they were ''two thieves from
Kenosha 2" We sometimes have a visit from
thieves, but they seldom stay long, before they
make their way home again, which is apt to
be in Waukegan or at least in that direction

Napoleon. A bull fight is reported 10 have

showed an ardor aud fury which disconnected
the assalants. The chest of one of them was
pierced by the horn of the enrsged brute,
and he was taken to the hospital. Another
man, was seriously. hurt, aud third was
hurled into the air to a height of five or six
yards, caught on the bulls horns and agein
dung up. He was rescued by those present,
and fortunately escaped with only slight
bruises About ten thousand persons wit
uessed the fight; so that the function" was,
in all its bloody accessories and in its popu-

with grand cid Roman amptitbeatre, and
the people have that languldly passionate
blood which takes pleasure in such exhibitions.
But Lyons and Paris will copy The example
of Aries unless the Emperor shall arrest the
pernicious importation into France of Gus

Honorable Henry Wilson, Chief Military
Comntitee, United States Senate:
Ny DEAR SIR: 1t is probable, in view of
existing circumstances, that Congress will
convene in July. 1t il proper, therefore, |
should inform you thai ike appropriation Of
$500, 900 to execute th,. Reconstruction acts
is altogether inadequate am intorrlcdtha
my estimates for ApriAnd May are less than
those of other District Commanders. Indeed,
the whole SUM was mare than absorbed by
the estimates for May. For the Carolinas at
least $500, 600 will be required.~
have applied to the Navy and Treasury
Departments for certain facilities, which, in
view of the small appropriation, ! presumed
would be granted, but my requests hnve not
been favorably considered l understand that
The Secretary of the Navy assigned as his
reason that no cid must be expected from
that Department in the execution of there
construction acts Of Congress. The Secreta-
ry of tie Treasury expressed his desire to do
alI he could, bnt did not feel at liberty to
make any disbursements for objects not pre-
eisely within the jurisdiction Cd his Depart
ment. 1t is usual, believe, when the ap-
preparation for an object authorized by Con-
gress is insufficient, to make the necessary
expenditures and trust TO deficiency bill ;"
but in the execution CT these acts this course
will be impracticable, inasmuch as the priu-
cipa disbursements are. for the services of
persons who depend upon their pay for sup
port. l have the honor to suggest for your
consideration, and Of your colleagues as well,
that the interests Of Tbe public service re-
quire, without delay, a fur:Lec appropriation
to execute the acts of Congress for the gov
ernment of the rebel States.
Very-respectfully,

a PLEASANT PRoSpECT FOR THE RADICALS
"A correspondent of the AnN Sam'y Stand
ard, writing from Virginia with an evident
understanding of the party machinery among
tue negroes, gives tie Republican party far
warning of what is in reserve for ihem. The
negro vote, he says, will decide the Presider-
tial election. The negroes understand this
perfectly and are laying their plans in accor.
dance with it. ",Therc are several negroes, "
says the writer, fitted for the position Of
Vice President, and that race claim that the
second Office in the nation shall oe hlsed BY
a negro" The correspondent fully indorses
.heir claim and wishes it distinctly under
stood that it must be conceded CIR the negro
vote will be cast against the Republican par
ty. The party, he says, dare not refuse 1t. as
its defeat, without the negro vote and the
vote of Northern men who will back their
claim, is certain. What will Senator Wade
do in this contingency? He has, pledged
himself 10 keep aIead'' of the people on all
questions of RadiGaism, and here is one which
demands his immediate attention. There
are negroes who, we are satisGad, would pre-
side over the Senate with quite as much dig
nity, intelligence and grace as Senator Wade
himself does-but will he thinl: soP Per-
haps be can get the negroes to postpone
this question until that Of the "redistrlbu-

Free Farms.

Our readers are aware that the last Con-
grcss passed, a homestead law, appropriating
Government lands in the Southern States,
that might be "enterei" by actual settlers.
In North Alabama the Government owns a
large quantity OF laad in the coal and mineral
regions, and we learn from the Huntsville
44drocate, that the Land Office in that city is
doing large business. In tho months of
April and May, 545 farms were entered.
What is a matter Of surprise to us is, that
out of tits large number Of entries only eight
have been made by freedmen. There are
still some Of the richest bottom lands Of the
Black Warrior and Coosa Rivers remaining
unsettled, and subject to, entry. There is no
doubt but that the homestead law was passed
for the peculia. benefit Of the freedmen, and
it is extraordinary that, while claiming other
rights and'privileges conferred upon them by
the legislation of Congress, they do not avail
themselves of this truly valuable boon, which
would secure to them permanent and comfor-
table homes, with lands sufficient to secure
them an Independent support, AID cempe-
tency for themselves and families. Would it
not be we'll for some of them to take this
matter into consideration, and investigate the
facilities for avsiHng themselves of the priv
leges accorded 10 them.-Phoenix. o.

sheridan's Letter to General Grant.

The Washington National Intslligencer Of
the 25th, refers to this letter as telegraphed
to the New York Herald, and says:
"If it were not incredible that military
officer who had won distinction in thefeld
could have written a dispatch so full of dis
respect to hissuperior officer, and at the game
| time have been guilty Of permitting its pub
lication, in advance of ita reception by the
officer to whom it is addressed, we should
unhesitatngly pronounce. tia forgery. For
the credit of General Sheridan we hope that
it may prove to be forgery from beginning
to end !; for, if it is genuine, he has surely
forgotten or wantonly disregarded the first
duty Of soldier-obedience and respect to
superior officer"
It is now known that the letter in question
was authentic, and the further remarks Of the
National Intelligence probably point out the
course that the Presiden! wall, and indeed
ought to-, take:
Any soldier however high or humble, who
refuses to- execute the order of a superior,
however respectfully, subjects himself to
court martial for disobeoience. In this in
stance, General Sheridan has manifested un.
questionable disrespect to superior officer.
LIST. BE has been disrespectful to the War
7Qepartment, through which the order was
transmitted.
3D.. BE is disrespectful 10 General Grant.
Sd. BE is disrespectful and insubordinete
to the President of the United States-the
Commander-in-Chief of the, military and ma
val forces of the United States,
1t matters not what rlay have been TIE
Presidents opinions of the measure in ques-
ton before it became laW, any more than
it does to Lieutenant under General Sheri-
dams command what may have been the Cen
erals opinions Of any order before it was is
sued. 1t is not the place nor the privilege OF
General Sheridan to set himself up as the
Judge Of his superior officer, and to counter
mand his orders because he differs in opinion
a5out them. This is the very essence Of in
subordination, and unless it is cured now
there will no longer be any like subordina-
lion in the army of the United States. ANY
private soldier may, with the same right,
say differ in opinion with my superior
officer, and will not obey him, but go before
the country with. letter addressed to par
tisau passions, and bid defiance to army dis
cipline.
Even the mest furious Of the Congression.
a! Radical cabal dare nut Sustain this insub.
ordination, for by that act they will at once
and for all time utterly destroy all discipline
in the army, aad convert it into simple
armed mob, in which every private soldier
will be entitled to obey OF. disobey an. order
given him, as his own opinions or caprices

from houghtlessness-to speak lightly OF Ia

of consideration:
Never use laay's namc in an improper
