The Lynchburg Republican speaking of what
is claimed by its supporters as the radical
movement for paying off the government bonds
with greenbacks, movement apparently
spreading and increasing in strength in all the
West and Northwest, says THE people of
the South are not specially interested either
one way or the other in the issue OF this agta
t ion. We can lose OF gain very little either
way, and can afford to watch the game as dis
passionate neutrals. 1t concerns us mainly as
On element in the political struggle which is
filling the country with noise and tumut. If
ism, we shall rejoice in it's success, whatever
the sacrifices it may impose upon us. We
have very few greenbacks and fewer bonds
but we have our lives and lands, which can
never be safe while the Radical party is in
control of the government"

CoLoRED PAUPERs.-A telegraphic dispatch

ANOTHER REMOVAL. Washington COR
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says the
President to-day ordered that Gen Sckes be
relieved of the command of the second military
district, and that Gen. Candy be appointed to
succeed him. 1t is not known whether Gen.
Sickles is to be mustered out of the volunteer
service as major general, but it is believed that
Gen. Grant will Tissue an ord>r to that effect,
thus placing Gen. SIckles as 4 colonel which
is his rank in the regular army.
1t is stated in the New York Weekly and
the National Intelgencer, tina, JUG ge Magra,h,
of g. c.. the IT, s. District Judge OF that
State in lS60.-a violent secessionist and the
man who adjourned the Federal Court 10
Charleston forever, on the ground that "the
election OF sectional President by sectional
majority was a sufficient cause for the freemen
Of South Carolina to assert their inalienable
rights of self government, and for the State to
resume her unquestionable sovereignty, and
snap the bands which bound her to hated
Union" is now the chief clerk of Gen Sickles,
his confidential adviser, and the warm defend
er his course !!
Wendell Phillips declares, in a recent NUN
Der Of the Anti-Slavery Standard, that Grant
is the staff which holds up The traitor Presi-
dent. Without him johnson could neither
stand nor walk" Then the President has not
very strong staff to lean 90 for from any
thing that Gen. Grant says or does, WE do not
see that he favors the policy or the principles
of The President or is at all, his political ally
lie simply performs the duties allotted to hiu,
and nothing else and it is now quite Certain
that he disapproved of the suspension Of Stan
ton and the removal of Sheridan

state Normal school.

The State Board of Education met at
Bristol on the Sth inst, to consider
proposal of the citizens of that place for
establishing Normal School. Uuder a
law Of last session ore school has been
already located at Johnson in the third
Congressional District, another at Ran
dolph, in the second and this district,
No. !, is entitled to another, and Bristol
being within the limits OF District No.
/ have taken in hand this subject, and
made generous and liberal proposals.
They offer their buildings for five years
an appropriation for improvements of
Sl,500,and a guaranty of $1,000 perannum
for three years, as payment of the prin-
cipal who will take charge of the school.
Bristol Is beautiful village at the base
OF the Green Mountains, healthful, pic
turesque, some five miles from the Rut-
land & Burlington Railroad, and pcs.
sesses advantages equalled by few If any
in the State, The people are awake to
the subject and will probably obtain the
establishment OF the school in their en-
terprising town.
Bristol is however, central neither
geographically or politically. 1t is north
of the centre of the State and of this
district, and it would seem that this
new and important institution for fitting
teachers for our common schools should
be located at a point more convenient
and central The Board adjourned their
meeting. 1t is to be held again in this
county within few weeks, when all hav.
ing an interest in the subject will have
an opportunity to be heard. Offers can
be made by any town within the district,
and l. equal advantages are presented it
is thought a Normal School can be
brought within this county, as it will
better accommodate a greater number
than more northern location.
North Bennington has made offers
equally advantageous, but it is also re-
moved from a business centre.
Does not this occasion present to our
citizens subject Of deep interest-the
establishment of State Normal Insti-
tuition within this county-ought we to
remain inactive and allow the great ad-
vantage to be given to Others, when OF
right it belongs to us?

There is no response yet from Gen.
Sickles to the Attorney. Generals inquiry
whether he intended in Order No. 10 to
include judgments Of Federal Courts.
The President denies that General
Grant has advised against the removal
OF Sheridan, and also the statement that
he had an interview with Judge Chase
on the same subject.
The Surratt jury sent sealed note
to Judge Fisher Friday evening, stating
that although majority of them were for
conviction, they were unable to agree, and
asked to be discharged. The Judge replied
that the trial had lasted eight weeks, and
the jury ought to take another day and
endeavor to make up verdict.
-POstmaster-G General Randall started
for New York Friday night, intending to
sail for Europe on Saturday. Within
the past few days MIR. Randall intended

count of the crisis in the Cabinet, but be

ner will act in his place,
The Cabinet was in session on Fri.
day for 2 > hours, and decided that the
President had the power under the
lst section OF the Tenure of Office
Act, to remove Stanton and also,
under the ID section, to suspend
him, by notifying him OF that fact,
and submitting the reasons therefor to
the Senate at its next session.
"A careful investigation has been
made Of the facts and circumstances at
tending the presentation to the President
of the recommendation of the Military
Commission that the sentence Of Mrs.
Surratt be committed to imprisonment,
and there hardly seems to be any doubt
but what the document was laid before
Mr.. Johnson and examined by him.
Sworn testimony as to what he said re-
garding it can be furnished and the
officer who made up the record Of the
Court says it was attached to the last
sheet, on which was the sentence OF DR..
Mudd and following the page with this
sentence, and the one of recommendation
to mercy, comes the Presidents approval Of
the sentence passed ~ each cOnspratOrs case.
AS the record appears on file in the
Department, the approval could not
have been made without the recomme nd
alton Of mercy being seen.

philosophers tell US that the moon
must be drawing slowly near the earth,
and the two bodies, In the far distant fu-
ture, will come together. The solid
crust of the earth will be broken up by
the shock, an immense quantity OF heat
will be generated by the destruction Of
the moons motion, and the two bodies
will fuse together into one molten globe.
As the new and enlarged earth is cooled
upon its surface, second series of geo.
logical deposits will be constituted, &C
companied, perhaps, by strange and in
conceivable forms of animal and vege-
table life. At the same time, the earth
is winding It's way inward toward the

siderable pebble, into the fast glowing
mas. The same fate awaits all the
planets. and our solar system must one
