little or nothing to report of its do

1t Is generally believed that the
Senate will not agree to repeal the
cotton tax, but will reduce it to one

Senator Sherman, from the Fl.

friends of both parties interested were
notified of the material facts, and accor-
dinghy none of them went to the church.
Search was kept up all, day bv expert
enced officers, but no tidings of the
missing man could be obtained. Early
in the evening of that day, he appeared
at one of the leading hotels, and was
given room, whence he sent word of
his whereabouts TO headquarters. A
hundred stories as to the cause of his
disappearance havo been set afoat,
nearly all of which reflected upon his
character as an officer and gentle
man. He is at present sick and under
medical care The facts will doubtless
be established in few days. At pres
ent it may suffice to say that his ex
planation fully relieves him from the
terrible stigma of dishonor with which
he has been charged. It's, in a word,
that he is the victim Of certain Indians
of the tribe to which he belongs, who
are bitterly hostile to his marriage with
any woman of his choice. He says
they waylaid him on Saturday evening
as he was returning from Gen. Grants,
and entieed him to their room. There
they drugged him heavily, kept him in
that condition for sixty hours, and then
abandoned him, with the expectation
that he would die from the effects of the
doses administered. This story,
strange as it may appear, is credited at
Headquarters.

unanimously. They were briefly as
follows:
First-"Bully for Hancock"
Second-"Bnlly for Johnson"
Third-"That copies be furnished to

@ The President has at last got a
Military Commander that suits him.
1t is Gen. Hancock, the successor of
Gen. Sheridan in command of the Fifth
Military District. So well pleased is
johnson with the course of Gen. Han
cock, that he sent to Congress, on the
10th, message commencing his course
and asking Congress to make public
recognition of one who, the President
says, has earnestly inaugurated the
reign of civil law, and given to the citi-
zens of that district the privilege of the
writ of hoJeas corpus, the possession of
the local civil courts, and the freedom
of the press. The document created
but little sensation, and was rather un-
tremendously laid aside. 1t was sim
ply political document, and received
even more attention than it deserved
The truth is, the message is simply a
stab at Gen. Sheridan-an attempt to
injure his fair fame with the American
people-but it will fail of accomplish
ing anything in that way. Andy John
sons commentators would destroy
any man, and his attacks would
endear every man upon whom they
were made, more dearly to the truly
loyal people of the country.

g Figuratively speaking. First
Ward Democracy has been walking
on its ear" for the past week or two;
and although the dog days are long
past, it shows unmistakable symptoms
ofrabies. Weare not greatly surpris-
ed thereat. The developments which
are being made in the contested cleo
ton case are not cheering to the Dem
ocratic soul, and have to some extent
acidulated upon the Democratic stom-
ach. Even our usually placid friend
of the Times allows his sympathies to
get the better of his judgement, and
talks wildly of "fraud, ""perjury," etc.
And, speaking of certain tickets which
were printed at the order of counsel to
exhibit to some of the voters in order
to ascertain whether they could tell
what ticket they voted, that paper says
that "persons who resort to such means
to deceive a voter are meaner and more
unprincipled than one who stuffs bal
lot-box.'' Thus placing the fraud and
the effort to expose it upon the same
level Which shows an elevated stand
ard of Democratic morals. As to the
means necessary to be employed in
such an investigation, we presume the

~- Gen. Hancock's course as COM
mander in New Orleans is having the
effect to bring his name prominently
forward, in democratic circles, as a
probable candidate for President
Whoever thinks that a rebel is entitled
to all the rights and privileges equal
with the Union man-thinks that trea-
son is no crime for which man should
be punished, and that patriotism is no
virtue for which man should be re-
warded-is sure to be commended by
the so-called democracy, and as Gen.
Hancock appears to be that sort of a
man, and withal a military man, he
may be selected to make the race against
Gen. GIan We would as soon it
should be him as any one else, for it
makes no difference who it Is, he is sure

The Greenback Question.

On the proposition to redeem the

Culloch, Secretary of the Treasury.
takes decided ground against it. He
condemns it Indignantly. 1t is not

that it should have ample revenues
economically administered, but it must
fulfil its contracts in letter and spirit.
In his report to Congress he furnishes
the following strong argument in sup
port of his position. To the mind of
an honest man it is unanswerable. He
says:
'Was there single subscriber to
the fye-twenty bonds or to the seven
and three tenths notes, which by their
terms were convertible into bonds, who
did not believe, and was not given to
understand by agents of the govern
ment, that both the principal and in
terest of these were payable in coin?
Does any one suppose that the people
of the United States, self-sacrifcing as
they were in support of the govern
ment, would have sold their stock, their
lands, the products of their farms. of
their factories and their shops, and in
vested their proceeds in fve-twenty
bonds and seven-thirty notes converti-
BILE into such bonds, if they had under
stood that these bonds were to be re-
deemed, after five years from their re-
spectivc dates, in a currency of the
value of which they could form no re-
liable estimate? Would the Secretary
of the Treasury, or would Congress,
when the fate of the nation was tremb-
ling in the balance, and when a failure
to raise money for the support of the
federal army would have been a success
to the rebellion and ruin TO the Union
cause, have dared to attempt the ex-
pertinent of raising money on bonds
redeemable at the pleasure of the gov
ernment after five years in currency
convertible, but the value of which
might depend not upon the solvency of
government, but upon the amount in
circulation ?"

Chas, Dickens.

The latest sensation in the literary
circles of the Eastern cities is DICK
EMS and his readings. Since the
great novelist's visit to this country
several years sgo, when he caricatur-
ed American peculiarities, and Ame-
rican brag with such fidelity to truth,
as TO put us all out OF humor with
him, he has not returned to America,
till the present. He is now in this
country, delivering those readings
from his own works. which have be-
come so popular in England. They
are even more popular here, as not
withstanding our old grievances
against the writer, our people crowd
to hear him, and greet his readings
with universal applause. They seem
determined to secure more gracious
recognition from the great writer,
than our peculiarities of thirty years
ago produced. DICKENS visit has
furnished an unlimited stock in trade
for that large class of modern news
paper letter writer's, who affect litera
ture-a class that is considered a
necessity in the make up of news
paper of the present day. They dis
cuss the appearance of the man,
every item of his dress from his
boots to his necktie, his reading, and
the effect produced on his hearers
All this. together with liberal allow
ances to everything Dickens ever
wrote, are furnished to the public dd
,aauseona Are We not in danger of
exposing ourselves to a second carl
cature, as biting as that of the "N.
7. Sewer!" Dickens will give his
readings in the principal Western
cities after the completion of his en-
gagements in the East. But, how
ever extended his engagements may
be, only a small fraction of those,
who have known and admired the
great noevlist in his works, will have
the opportunity to see him, and hear
his wonderful reading of those char
acters in his writings, which are
familiar to every household in this
country. For DICKENS novels have
been almost universally read amongst
our much reading people. They are
thoroughly enjoyed, and their char
acters, so faithful to actual life, have
been appreciated by readers with
hearty zest. The mass OF us, who
may not be permitted to see and hear
the author, can derive pleasure and
profit 10 reading his works, which arc
within the command of all.

This subject, which has been the
cause of much complaint on the part
of applicants, has been receiving tine

Find, that up to December /, 1867.
4l2.000 claims were filed, of which
273,000 remain unsettled; that the
delay. in great part, 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 it's infor-
nation regarding each case from the
second Auditors office; that in this
office, however, all has been done

ports that the crowded state of the

ST Those who fear that 1t may
not be safe to trust Gen. GRANT, be-
cause they do not know how he
stands on the issues of the day, IL
any such there be, outside the ranks
OF the Democracy, need only read
his private letter to Johnson. just be-
fore the removal of Secretary Stan
ton, to know that he stands as fair on
the side of the loyal men of the coun-
try. as he did while opposing rebels
on the battle field.
There was great curiosity at the
time of STATIONS removal to know
the contents of this letter, but it has
never been made public till sent in
to Congress with other documents
few days ago. Gen. GRANT gives
the President plain spoken advice in
regard to his determination to re
move STANTON and Gen. SHERIDAN,
in disregard to the Tenure of Office
Bill, and against the wishes of the
loyal people of the country. Among
the other documents sent in to Con-
gress with this letter. was report
from Gen. Sheridan, of the lawless
condition of Texas, with General
Grants Endorsement On it, recon-
mending martial law as the only
means of keeping the State quiet.
and compelling its people to respect
the Government. In these papers
one can have no doubt how Gen.
Grant stands. He firmly and decid-
edly upholds the cause of the Union
people against the wilfulness of
johnson, and gives his views with
out equiyocation.
We hope it may comfort Democra-
cy to have this vexed point settled.
about which their hearts have been
greatly troubled. We are satisfied to
know, as we always have known, that
in the hands of Gen. Grant the in
terests of the country and the Union
party will be safe, and that in him
we have q man who will not sacri-
fee the people for the sake of self
aggrandisement.
