PERTINENT INQUIRIES Copying
Thurlow Weed S revelation in regard
to the paying of one Of Mrs. Lincoln ;
dinner bills out of the the publ:
treasury, the New York World asks:
Again; did no one call the atten-
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln to the doings i
his wife about this dinner bill? IL
must have known Of the expcndit-
urc incurred on her behalf. How
did he suppose it WAS met, and Ky
whom
Prominent Republican, journals
insist that Mrs. Lincoln is not needy,
because her husband Saved nearly
all his pay as President, and it in
urcs to her benefit. If this be so.
by what means did Mr.. Lincoln think
his household expenses were being
paid? He must have observed the
worry costly articles Of dress obtained
by his wife from time to time, to say
nothing Of dinner entertainments,
and from what source did he conioc-
ture they could be procured? He
could not believe that dinners
aud dresses were furnished to the
Presidents family without any con-
sideration whatever? To put all
upon a gardeners bill seems to rs
to involve the whole administration
in the unsccmly business.

"A Tough story.

A western paper tells the follow
ing rather tough story. If true, it
is the most remarka BILE on record
An accident of a remarkable ma
ture occurred in the woods of a
neighboring county last week by
which man was thrown eighty feet
in the air. He was standing on a
balance tree lying across large
log, to see another tree come dc wn,
when the tree in it's falling course
struck the other end Of the tree ON
which he was standing, and the tre-
menduous weight oft coming on the
spring lever, threw him like a shot
into the air.
The remarkable part of the story
remains to be told. When at his
highest elevation the man caught
hold Of the top of tree about tif-
teen feet from the trunk, and re-
mained suspended by the arms un-
til the person who had felled the
tree travelled distance of five miles
and returned with help and a ladder
before he could be released from his
perilous position. He was found in
the same position as when left, evil
IDENTIFY in the best of spirits, for he
was whistling Yankee Doodle, -
and making a strong fight with his
feet against delegation of wasps
that were endeavoring to build a
nest in the seat Of his pants. He
said, upon reaching the ground, that
he had had ''hcalty time" with
the "varmints, and attributed his
powers of endurance, wholly to the
hotly-contested canvass he had with
the ''critters" by their persistent
''fre in the rear" and the tremen-
dous excitement incident thereto.
If that man ever gets into Office
he will be provided for, for the rest
of his natural life. He will know
how to HANG ON TO 1T.

THE YOUNG MAN WF2se
WHISTLES.
Some Remarks on the EXG,ii-
site Torture Gfthe Contin-
OnS stylc--The Good Boy
Across the Way Who is
Always PICKERING.

A Mississippi editor after cor
rccting certain errors fallen into by
classic authors on whistling, gives
vent to his own personal grievances,
thus:
Now, there is a young man across
the way who is no doubt a good boy,
and who, we trust, (has no stout
brother, for we feel cminently pa
citic this morning. who is uncon-
sciously the source of exquisite tor
ture to these headquarters. I'VE
don wish to be misunderstood. -
We love whistling--we dotc on it,.
But like every other luxury of sound,
a supcrfluity always includes a sati-
ETY.. Who has not heard Of the lit
tie English drummer-boy that whis-
tied himself clean away all but his
coat tail, and that continued to
wag "God Save the Quccn,' until
his bercaveo comrades, unable to
endure longer the sad reminder,
buried it with all the ''honors of
war;" Here was evidently an ex-
cessive development of a faculty
that does very well in moderation.
We really entertain fears for the
ultimate fate of our young friend.
He (we see him now ''preparing to
pucker') } began on poor Lilly Dale
the other morning, after early break
fast, and whistled with short inter
mission, till .....
Might drew her sable curtain down,
And pinned it with star

Time and endurance have used on.
soul somewhat to the quantity of
his music, but can we ever become
rcconciled to his way? For instance
he will commence on "Junnita' or
''Lonc Rock by the Sea- and of
course with us, who have to hear
him, it is either to hear the tune
through, or finish the local item we
are grinding out. No compromise
-ah, God help US. 1t is either
Chat music alone, or this paragraph
alonc-two such creations, like two
bodies, cannot occupy the same
space at Che same time. Well, our
young friend gets as far along as
"-thundcrs on the shore''
and then forgetting where he was,
goes back to the first to commence
again. Dear reader, it's the same
thirg for HOURS! And he DON t
have the right key all the time,
either. Is it the fats that the
intermediate notes are called in mu-
sic? Well, this young man nearly
ALWAYS whistles on the b flats.
Now, connect these acoustic mis-
cries with the fact that there is a
mournfulness to his whistling,
whether his selections be grave OF
gay; that he never gets further than
the second line in any air; that he
always looks this way when he
commences a new tune, and you
can easily imagine the positive mar
tyrdom that young man daily sub
iects us to.
We are getting desperate. He
is not a vagrant--hc works hard
he is good boy doubtless, but
There he is again:

What They Mean.


The results Of the recent elections
have some very palpable meanings.
They mean that ten states, the
fairest portion of the republic, shall
not be handed over to tie domino,
tion of brutal, ignorant, and degra
ded Africans.
They mean that military despot-
ism, wherever it has planted its iron
heel, must give way to the rule OF
civil liberty; that martial satrapy
must yield to governments Of the
people. ... a..
They mean that the project of the
reconstruction of the south in the
interest Of a political party, to the
detriment of the material interests
not only Of that section, but Of the
whole country, must be abandoned.
They mean that the rcconstruc-
ton of the south, upon fair, and
just, and constitutional principles,
must be sdccpy, to the end that the
public disquict, which is 50 injurious
to the business Of the country, may
be composed; and to the further end
that the industry and development
of that section may be revived,
which is 50 essential to the prosper
ity of the whole land.
They mean that the cxtravag giant
appropria tions by congress, which
arc swelling the public debt indef-
nitcly, must cease.
They mean that the congress itself
is a rump, and its usurpations intol-
cradle.
They mean that the military es.
tablishmcnt, costing hundreds of
millions Of dollars yearly. and use
full only fer purposes of oppression,
must be cut down, and waists sums
thereby saved to the public treasury.
They mean that the frightful cor
ruption, and fraud, and theft, and
perjury which have seized upon eve
ry avenue of the public service, anc
which arc impairing the revenue by
hundreds of millions Of dollars an.
nually, must cease also.
They mean that taxation must be
fairly adjusted and distributed; that,
in laying the public burdens, there
shall be no favored classes,
They mean that honest admins,
tration must be restored, economy
rc-cstablishcd, and taxation Tighten
ed.
They mean that the industry Of
the country at large must not be
taxed to furnish bounties to corpo-
rate wealth in Il section.
They mean, in short, that dishon-
est demagogueism must give place
to honest craftsmanship in the con-
duct of public airs.--Chicago
Times.
Yes, it means all this, and more;
it means that the negro suffra &C
scheme of the New York World, the
Chicago Times, and all other papers
whether Democrat Or Republican has
been. and is to be repudiated by the
people, whenever and wherever hon
estly and fairly submitted. (Eds.

The Tenure OF OMCe Bill.

The following containg the views
of the President upon this bill; is
the means he takes to test it's con
stitutiouality; and is authorized as
the expression Of his views, and as
the course be designs pursuing in
relation to the enactment.
Whoever shall take the place will
receive the appointment outright as
Secretary of war vice Il. NJ. Stan
ton removed, for it is the purpose of
Mr.. johnson to make an absolute
removal of Stanton under the law as
existed prior to the passage of the
tenure of offce bill, which is to be
held unconstitutional. In this opin-
ion Mr.. Stanton concurred when the
bill was first passed, and himself
prepared part of the veto message,
denying the power Of congress to
pass such an act. The removal of
Stanton having been accomplished
in the manner indicated the Presi-
dent will simply send his message to
the Senate nominating A or B to be
Secretary of War. By this it is ex-
pected, in case the nomination is re-
jected, possibly Mr.. Stanton may be
reinstated; but being out Of office,
he will be compelled to seek a legal
remedy by mandamus or any other
mode, if there is any pointed out by
law. This will bring the question
as to the constitutionality of the
tenure of Office act before the supreme
court of the United States for adiu-
dication, and by it's decision the
right of Stanton to holl the office
will be decided,
