The St. Paul Pioneer Of the 18th inst,
contains the following item:
About two o'clock yesterday afternoon an
OK team was crossing the bridge when one
Of them stepped on the edge of the pllnks
where the workmen are repairing it, and
fell through. In falling the body Of the an
imal passed through. but the horns being
very broad caught in the timbers. and the
whole weight Of the body hung suspended
on the reck for full twenty minutes. He
was finally relieved and fell distance Of
about twenty feet to the ground and strange
to relate, without serious injury.

Wendell Phillips Views on General
Grants Acceptance Of the War Office,

When men offer poor excuses for an act,
be sure they have no good reasons to give.-
The Journals betray a lurking dstrust of the
prOpriety of Gen. Grants act III assuming the
War Department by the haste they make to
invent poor excuses for it.
They tell us the general was obliged, as a
military subordinate, to obey the Presidents
order. If the act was, without any doubt,
good one, why seek to excuse it on the ground
of cOmpulsion When Chase accepted the
Chief Justiceship nobody went about to find
excuses for him. Ah, gentlemen, the act of
Gen. Grant you cannot think good one, else
you would not seek to rob him of his merit
and make somebody else responsible for it.
But we cannot do such discredit to the
leading journals of the Republican party as
to suppose they believe their own statements.
Gen. Grant is the Presidents military sub
ordinate-not a civil one. The President has
a right to order him to report for duty at
Westinghouse give advice on the Indian
war-tO sit on military commission. All
such orders Grant is obliged to obey.
But the President has no right to order
Grant to paint the White House, to take
charge of its garden, prepare a report for the
amendment OF the tariff, or do any other civil
duty.
No". tue war department. Is CIVIL ONCE.
These same journals allege that JohHson can.
not remove Stanton, because that is forbidden
by the civil Office tenure act, thus clearly con.
Tossing that the Secretaryship of War is n
civil office; as, of dOurse, it is. Mr.. john
son might, therefore. .as rightfully order Grant
to hoe potatoes behind the White House as
to assume the War Department. The jour
mails know this. So docs General Grant.
Indeed, the President in his communion
tion to Grant does not order him, but "au-
thorizes and empowers" him to act as Secre-
tary. And although Grants letter to Stans
ton speaks coufusedly Of the Presidents ''di-

Interesting Reading.

The readers of prominent Radical Journals
must be highly edited with the matter they
contain. We picked up New York Tribune
few days since. 1t contained nineteen col
umns of reading matter, sixteen of them
being devoted to notices, puffs of the s'coming
man. "Great Mass Meeting of Freedmen"
Monster Colored Pic Me-" Letter from an
intelligent freedman on the next Presidential
campaign" Reports from officers of the
Freedmans Bureau" Marriage of a promi>
uent colored man" SCHOOLS for the Freed
men" The colored men must have the bal
lot, }" "Well done. cOlored men of Tennessee"
&c. These are the headings of the articles
that graced sixteen columns of the Tribune.
Other Jacobin papers-the Press, Inquirer,
North american, &c-all follow the lead
of the Tribune, and fill their columns daily
with the disgusting details of negro carousals
A stranger in our country, to read these pa
Pers, would be led to believe that ours was
negro government and that white men were
no where, or at best ut terrible discount.
We have glanced over some of the proceed
ings-the speeches aud resolutious-read and
delivered at these negro picnics and conven-
tiOns. That they were made to order by
white men is as certain as can be. In the pub
lished speeches and resolves these impudent
stint who fails to come up to the full Stevens
and Sumner standard. The President and his
cabinet are spoken of as "trai.ors," " and ''cop.
perheads" the designation isfor all Democrats
Now, we believe every man of sense will
agree with us when we say that the white
scoundrels who are urging the negroes into
this position are committing fatal error, for
which the negroes will be the sufferers. The
very fact that the blacks are arraying them
selves solid with the disunionists and thieves
of the country, will create aNstrong feeling
against them. The men who made this coun-
try and shaped its destiny, will not permit
impudent negroes to speak of them as "trai-
tors" and "cOpperheads," nor will they rec
ognize their insolent demand for equality"
Let these negroes-these tools of white mis-
creants--beware Should another war be
the result of the present agitation, the white
towards who are now urging on to deeds of
violence and impudence, will not be found at
their sides. No, no; they will then retire
from the strife, and the negroes will have
their own battle to fight. If the negroes are
wise they will attend to their work and let
politics alone. 1t is not to their interest that
another intestine war should be Matched, for

EXECUTIVE MANSION.

" AsHlNGTON, H. u, Aug. ID, 1867.
Ge"erdi-I have received your communi.
cation of the 18th inst. and thank you for
the promptness with which you have submit.
ted your views respecting the assignments di-
rected in my order of that date. When
stated, in my unofficial note of the 18th, that
l would be pleased to hear any suggestions
you might deem necessary upon the subject
it was not my intention to ask from you for
NAL report; but rather to invite verbal states
mcnt of any reasons affecting the public in-
tereSts which, in your opinion, would render
the order inexpedient. Inasmuch. however.
as you have embodied your suggestions in
written communication, it is proper that
should make some reply.
You earnestly urge that the order be not
insisted on, remarking that cit is unmistaka-
bly, the expressed wish of the country that
General Sheridan should not be removed
from his present command" While | am
cOgnizant of the efforts that have been made
to retain General Sheridan in command of
the Fifth Military District, am not aware
that the question has ever been submitted to
the people themselves for determination. 1t
certainly would be unjust to the army to as.
sumo that, in the opinion of the nation he
alone is capable of commanding the States of
Louisiana and Texas, and that, were he for
any cause removed. no other General in the
military service of the United States would
be competent to fill his place. General
Thomas, whom have designated rs his sue
ccssor, is well known to the country. Hav-
ing won high and honorable distinction in the
field, he has since, in the execution of the
responsible duties of department command
er, exhibited great ability, sound discretion
and sterling patriotism. He has not failed,
under the most trying circumstances, to en-
force the laws, to preserve peace aud order,
to encourage the restoration of civil authors
ty and to promote, as far as possible, spirit
OF reconciliation. His administration of the
Department of the Cumberland will certainly
compare most favOrably with that of General
Sheridan in the Fifth Military District
There affairs appear to be in disturbed con.
dition, and bitter spirit of antagonism seems
to have resulted from General Sheridan's
management. He has rendered himself ex,
ceedingly obnoxious by the manner in which
he has exercised even the powers conferred
by Congress, and still more so by resort to
authority not granted by law nor necessary to
its faithful and efficient execution. His rule
has, in fact, been one of absolute tyranny,
without reference to the principles of our
government or the nature of our free institu-
tions. The state of affairs which has result.
ed from the course he has pursued has Sc
riously interfered with harmonious, salts,
factory and speedy execution of the acts of
Congress, and is alone sufficient to Justify a
change. His removal, therefore, cannot i'be
regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of
Congress; for the object is to facilitate their
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1867-09-03

used. If the following verses have no poetic
merit, as indeed they have not-and it is

THE REMOVAL OF SHERIDAN.
Correspondence Between the President
and Gen. Grant.

The following correspondence between the
President and Gen. Grant, in relation to the
removal of Gen. Sheridan, is published in the

HIS E,rccIkeRcy. Aa6reU johnson, President
cfthe United States:
Sir am in receipt Of your order ofthis
date, directing the assignment Of Gen. G.. H.
Thomas to the command of the Filth Military
District, General Sheridan to the Department
of the Missouri, and General Hancock to the
Department of the Cumberland also, your
note of this date (enclusing these instructions),
saying. "BetOre yOu issue instructions to carry
into effect the enclosed order l would be
pleased to hear any suggestions you may deem
necessary respecting the assignments to which
the order refers"
l am pleased to avail myself of this invita-.
ton to urge, earnestly urge-urge in the
name of patriotic people who have sacrificed
hundreds of thousands of loyal lives and
thousands of million of treasure to preserve
the integrity aud union of this country-thar
this order be not insisted on. 1t is unmis-
takably the expressed wish of the country
from his present command. This is Re.
public where the will of the people is the law
of the land. beg that their voice may be
heard.
General Sheridan has performed his civil
duties faithfully and intellgeutly. His re-
mOval will only be regarded us an effort to
defeat the laws of Congress. 1t will be in
terPreted by the unreconstructed element in
the South-those who did all they could to
break up this Government by arms, and now
wish to be the only element consulted as to
the method Of restoring order-as a triumph
1t will emholden them to renewed opposition
to the will Of the loyal masses, believing that
they have the Executive with them
The service Of General Thomas in battling
for the Union entitle him to some considera.
ton. lie has repeatedly entered his protest
against being assigned to either of the five
Military Districts. and especially to being as
signed to relieve General Sheridan.
General Hancock ought not to be removed
from where he is. His department is COM
p!icated one, which will take a new comman-
der some time to become acquainted with.
There are military reasons. pecuniary rea-
sons, and, above all, patriotic Sreasvns why
this order should not be insisted on.
| beg to refer to letter, marked private,
which | wrote to the President when first
consulted on the bject of the change in the
War Department. 1t bears upon the subject
of this removal, und L had hoped would have
prevented it.

Seeing the Sun at Midnight.

In July, 1865, Hon. J. Fl. Campbell, Uni.
ted States Minister to Norway, with a party
of American gentlemen, went far enough
north to see the sun at midnight 1t was in
GO degrees north latitude, and they ascended
cliff l 900 feet high above the Artic sea-
The scene is thus described: ut was late,
bnt still sunlight. The Artic ocean stretch
ed away in silent vastDess at our feet; the
sound of its waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout; away in the north the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon like the slow
beat of the pendulum in the tall clock in our
grand fathers parlOr corner. We all stood
silent looking at our watches. When both
hands came together at IL. midnight, the
full round orb hung triumphantly above the
wave-a bridge of gold running due north
spanned the waters between us and him
There he shOne in silent majesty which knew
no setting. We involuntary took off hats
no word was said. Combine, if you can. the
most brilliant sunset and sunrise you ever saw.
and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous
cOIoring which now lit up the ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half an hour the sun had
swung up pcreeptibly on its beat. the colors
changed to those of morning. a fresh breeze
riPPled over the fOrid, one sougster after an
other .piPed up in the grove behind us-we
had slid into another day.
