pernlcious habit OF an excessive indulgence in
alcoholic drinks was witnessed this morning,

man was inhls shirt-sleeves, and lying on his
back, with the sun shining full in his face
His mutterings were for more drink, inter-
imaginary barkeeper, who had refused to let
him have any more without the money. This
old man, we learn, was once wealthy farmer
In this locality, but by his thirst for liquor he
has squandered all his possessions, and
brought distress upon his interesting family
Surrounding i'm to-day were crowd OF idle
youths, who were making him the butt of their
low jests and ridicule.

OoL. fAHNrR's ExPLANATIoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune gives the following details of Col. Par
ker's adventures that have no. hitherto an
peared: .HE -r.. f...
He was to have been married on Tuesdav
morning. On the Saturday evening previous
he called at Gen. Grants residence and bor-
rowed military scarf He was down town
awhile afterward, and then went off alone TO
take walk. In the course of il he met an
Indian of the Six Nations, of which c0Dfeder-
alton Col. Parker is chief. The Indian took
him to a room, gave him glass of wine, and
sat down to converse upon the important busi-
ness which he wished to see him about. In n
short time Col. Parker began to feel drowsy,
aud concluded he would 3ie down on the bed
HWWpLment. He did so, and fell into deep sleep.
t,t ten ne awoke, it seemed very late at night,
put whether it was the same night or another
he could not tell. The Indian was sittino hv
the Deqslde gravely and patiently, Col. Par
ker asked few questions natural to the cir
cumstances of the case, and the Indian said:
"You have been very sick Here is some med
icine the doctor left for you" The patient
took the medicine, fellasleep again, slept COM
fortably until Wednesday morning. and then
woke up, a matter Of twenty-four hours too
late tor the wedding. The Indian was gone.-
Col. Parker,s friends think the Six Nations are
opposed to his marrying white lady, and
that they sent an envoy to take care that the
wedding should not take place, or to even de-
priye him of his life. "A bride chosen for him
from among his subjects, the Six Nations,
stands ready to marry him, and the tribes pre-
fer that he should take her, and remain more
closely allied to his people than he would be
II ne took wife from another race. Col. Par
kerls statement have given without addition
or embellishments Gen. Grant has taken en-
tire charge of the matter now, both because
the interrupted wedding had been appointed
10 come off under his auspices. and because
Col. Parker belongs on his staff. He will in
stitute strict investigation of the affair 10 the
end that Col Parker may establish his blame
lessness if he can, or suffer dismissal and dis
grace If he fails. Until his Judgment is pass
Ell, public opinion should sleep.

WHY THE BoUNTIEs' ARE NOT PAID. The
Congressional Committee appointed to inves-
tigate the delay in the payment of the addi-
tionalbounty, has reported. 1t is found that
up to December first, 1867, 412 900 claims were
filed, of which 27a,OOO remain unsett led; that
the delay in great measure arises from the
insufficient force employed, and also from the
fact that the Paymaster Generals Office has
no control of the final muster out rolls of the
army, and is obliged to receive all its informa-
tion regarding each case from the second audi
tors office; that in this Office, however, all has
been done that could be expected to further
the work. Many cases of delay occur through
the frequent loss of checks in transmitting
them through the mail, the Assistant Treasur-
: er in New York refusing to pay duplicate
checks, even wneu nosmou omcrany Unsss -slse
originals are lost. The committee recommend
the passing ofa bill for a suitable increase in
the force employed in settling these claims
and also authorizing the payment on dupli-
cate checks, when the originals are known to
be lost. ~. ..-..arrs- 4 s.a s...

SHARP REToRT BY GEN. BUTLER.-Friday,
during the debate in the House of Rrepresen-
tatives on granting lands to Southern rail-
roads, Mr.. Chanler tauntingly called General
Butler "the hero Of New Orleans The Gen.
eral replied that he simply desired to say to the
gentleman from New York, and to all others,
that he did not claim to be the hero of New Or
leans; that honor belonged to Farragut. He
did claim, however, to be the hero of New York,
for in 1864 he did have a fair election there,
something that the people of New York have
never had either before or since. The retort
provoked general roar of laughter.

The prospects of the Treasury really begin
to look fattering when it is possible to get a
bill through the Senate providing that no
member of either House shall be furnished
with either stationery or newspapers at the
public expense. As the law now stands every
member is entitled to as much stationery as
he chooses to ask for. The reform measure
was defeated in the House. Let it be remem-
bered, however, that the proposition was orig
mated by Republicans and not by the Demo
Gratis who have so much to say and so little to
do about retienchment.

The tone of the Senate debate on the rights
of naturalized citizens abroad, on Thursday,
was decidedly warlike, both political parties
agreeing with Senator Johnsons idea that a
continued denial by the British government
of the right of expatriation, and persistence in
holding naturalized citizens of the United
States to answer for words spoken or acts
done in this country, would be just ground
for war. Abiding to the recent Fenian trials
in England and the denial of mixed jury on
those occasions, Mr.. johnson said that war
could be avoided only by negotiation.
