A CORRESPONDENT Of the Springfield
tMass.) Republican writes from Tennessee
as follows
Unless those high in authority under him
have lied and sealed it with an oath. Gov.
Br,wnlcw has encouraged and counselsd
assault, riot, mob,law and murder. More
than year ago heard one Of those ''pru
dent add experienced men," now placed in
charge Of that state guard" swear that he
had standing pardon from the Governor,
and he would shoot whom he pleased aud
At subseqnsnt period. also within my own
observation, the same man proi5srsd to suit
the action to The word, and have no doubt
would have done 90 promptly, had not his
demands, made in violation Of ell Law, been
Al once complied With. These facts do not
stand alone In their class."
This Is Republican testimony and il
tends 70 prove the utterly infamous charsc.
ter Of the state Of things which radicalism
has brought upon the coaatry.

Dogs. and Vvuas shey Cose.


The March repsst Of the Csmnissioner Of
Agriculture dwells upon the ravsges CON.
mitted by dogs among the sheep Of the Uni
ted States. In 1866, Eve hundred thous-
and sheep were killed BY dogs, and their
value was $4,000 The Commissioner
says: "Ths cost Of keeping dogs, most Of
them utterly worthless, when calculated for
the whole country, assumes startliag pro-
portions. The estimate made in the report
Of 1868, Of ten dollars per snnum, or less
than one cent per meal, cannot DC consid-
cred extravagant, in view Of the price paid
for boarding dogs, the cost Of keeping large
numbers Of them in cities, and their exclu>
sive consumption Of meat" As to their
numbers, il is believed by many that they
will average one 10 each family, or seven
millions in the United States. In cities and
towns that aver &c would not be reached,
while many pack If hounds and assem-
blage OF ours Of low degree, might be found
IN the ownership Of single families. Posi-
bly, seven millions may be too large, Ohio,
with half a million families, IL supposed by
many to have half a million dogs, although
little more than one third Of that number
are found on the assessors books. IL may
be assumed, in view Of al the data obtained,
as n low estimate, that there are five mills
hons Of dogs in the United States, and that
their subsistence involves an expenditure Of
fifty millions Of dollars.

One Of the Probable Results OF the Pa
ciiic RAILWAY.

The San Francisco Bulletin counts with
apparent good reasonon the tranfer Of the
Australian and New Zealand steam lines
from Panama to that city. when the Pa
ciic Railway shall be completed The
subject Is already attracting attention in
Australia, where Mr. Crosbie Ward, the
original promoter of the Panama line. Is
This gentleman writes to the Australian
press ,hat the distance from Wellington
to San Francisco is 5,S64 nautical miles,
or 100 miles less than to Panama. The
San Francisco route viii have the ad-
vantage Of Tahiti as a coaling station, ex-
actly or the course between Australia aad
San Francisco.
IF the railway was completed and the
route changed as proposed, the mails
could fe carried from Wellington to San
Francisco in twentyfv days and from
New ! Iorll to London III twelve days
forty two days in all, instead of from six
t. to seventy days, as at present. Hr,
Ward concludes bis argument on behalf
Of the California route as follows:
'Such arguments as the foregoing are
unan@ werable, and taken IN connection
with the fact that California Will, after
the completion OF the Pacific Railroad,
furnish more traffic for the AustiaiiaH
steamers rhaD Panama, must have great
weight with the Australasians. who, viii
naturally be anxious, when they come tc
know al! he facts, to shorten by ten to
twenty days the voyage to Europe, and
to escape several thousand miles Of traffic.
The diversion of large share OF Austria
lasan travel and traffic to the California
route May safely be regarded ;as one q
the certainties Of the near future.

MORE RETRENcHMENT by GEN GRANT

BY Washington dispatches it appears
that Gen. Grant intends to fight it out on
the line Of retrenchment. The other
day he, at one decisive stroke, relieved
the country of burden of eight or ten
millions annually, by reduction III the
service Of $4,000 of the rank and file
But in this last master stroke he has fair
ly surpassed himself. He stated, on
Tuesday. in an interview with the House
military committee, that he had recently
dispensed with no fewer than $4,000 ci-
villains employed I've suppose as clerks,
laborerS, &c. J in the various military de-
partments-a policy which will no doubt
result in saving at least an additional ten
millions to the treasury.
