The principle for which so many laid down

their names have grown feeble on the tongue

will struggle back from the hollow bos ON

From Washington.
WAsulyoIoy. Aug. :

The contemplated removal OF General
Sheridan has met with opposition from
an unexpected source. Ex-Cov. Par.
sons, of Alabama, is here advising the
President against the displacement Of
either Gen. Sheridan or Gen. Pope. He
thinks that it will do no good now, for
he looks upon the time as passed when
Gen. Sheridan's removal would have been
of any service to the Administration.
There is no doubt Of the fact that the
President to-day formally requested Mr..
Stanton to resign his position as Secrc-
tary of War. The friends of the Prcsi.
dent assert he has taken this course in
order to secure a unity Of political views
in his Cabinet.
Gen. Rousseau who has lately been in,
New Orleans, has been summoned 10
Washington, and IL is by no means i'm
probable, after all, that he will be selected
as the successor of Gen. Sheridan. Gen
Rousseau is the only general officer who
is not in active service.

To which Stanton replied as follows:
"SIR; Your note of this date has been
received, stating that public considera.
tons of high character constrain you
to say that my resignation as secretary Of
war will be accepted.
In reply, have the honor to say that

whom we would sooner give our vote to

led upon to record two more fatal acci-
dents that occurred on the Chicago and
Great Eastern R. r., on Monday evening
last. At Walton Station, Mr.. MooRK,
the conductor of the freight train, went
forward to the Engine to light his lamp
and the engineer says he went back 70
the ..caboose''-he was missed st the
next station. and the news was tele-
graphed back--an engine was started
out in search 70. him, when he was
found on the track near Walton, with his
head completely mashed in-both arms
and legs severed from his body. 1t IS
supposed that he must have fallen be-
tween the cars, whilst in motion, and the
entire train ran over him--killing him
instantly. Mr.. MOORE, resides In this
city on High street-had wife, but no
family, and was regarded, by all who
knew him as a good and reliable man.
His body was conveyed to his desolate
home. and was buried at Maple Grove
Cemetry on yesterday
Mr.. EDWARD GIBSON, also residing in
this city. on the same street and nearly
opposite Mr. MooRE's, met with fatal
accident on the same evening at the
Bellefontaine Crossing. He was coupling
cars, aud projecting bar of iron, on
one of the cars struck him and Knocked
him down on the track-the wheels run
ming over his leg and knee, crushing it
horribly, He fingered until the next
morning, in great agony, when death re-
lieved him of his sufferings. His wife
was sent for Immediately, who arrived
at eleven o'clock, on the night of the
accident, and in time to witness his
death struggle and soothe his last mo-
ments. with that sympathy that only a
fond wife can give. God help her and
her two little children, in this sad and
sudden bereavement. The body of Mr..
G. was taken to Cleveland, Ohio, his
former place Of residence, for interment.
We are informed that both Mr.. Moore
and Mr. Gibson, had their lives insured
to the amount Of $4,000 each.

EprToR PALLADIUM A rumor has
been put in circulation by designing par
ties, that had withdrawn my name as
candidate for County Auditor. This is
emphatieaily false, and does me great in
justice. No action of the committee of
the Army of tie Republic at its meeting
on Saturday last, required any soldier
candidate to withdraw, as reported by
designing parties. Mr.. Johnson (my
competitor) comedies am the strong
party throughout the county; that he
must overcome, if he succeeds in receiv-
ing the nomination, and when he learned
that the committee had expressed pre-
ference for whom they did. his reply was,
that that the committee had expressed
their preference for the Deak man, as
against him.
To my friends, would say, be not
deceived by false rumors and false state
ments, by your united support, I will
succeed. T. w. o. BRAFFErr.

We next knew him teacher in common school.
His physical constitution at that time, being delicate,
he was compelled intermngle his of teach

course intent upon gaining education. During his
evenings he added to his stock of Information good
knowledge of the German language Between the

In all these positions he has shown himself consc-

ED. PALLADIUM. There exists per-
haps, some misunderstanding with the
people in reference to convention of
the soldiers OF the Grand Army Of the
Republic, held in Richmond On last Sat
urday. As "a delegate to that convention.
believe it to be but simple justice to
the soldiers aud the people at large of
the County, to give synopsis Of the
proceedings Of that convention. 1t has
been said that the Grand Army had
went so far as to make a nomination,
and dictate to the people of the County
who they should vote for. This is a
gross Misrepresentation, and great in
justice to the citizen soldiers of the
County. We simply met for the pur-
pose of determining who among the
soldier candidates for the different offices
were The strongest among the people,
that the vote of the Grand Army might
be concentrated upon one candidate for
each office, when soldiers were contest
ants. and it was not expected or meant
that this selection should be obligatory
upon anybody, except members of the
Grand Army-and this vote ,cai 6e solid
for its choice.
The names of the different candidates
(soldiers) submitted their names and
claims to this convention, and expressed
their entire willingness to abide by its
decision. The candidates whose chances
we believed to be hopeless, were re-
quested by letter in shape Of resolution
to withdraw their names from the con-
test, and as comrades, we believed them
to be in duty bound to do 50, IS they al
lowed their claims to be represented
with the understanding that they would
comply with any decision it might make

appeal to you in behalf of comrade,
Major SIM, for the Treasurership of

the position by an overwhelming majority
at the last election, but, for an unforeseen
contingency was declared ineligible. He
is the same crippled soldier-the same

before. and We feel with all true men a
double obligation to support him in the
coming canvass. Every consideration
that was urged ard acted upon at the
time OF his triumphant nomination and
election, is stronger now, and in making
this appeal in behalf of feilov-soIdier.
we cannot bu. consider that any LOYAL
voter who sus tanned him before, ia IN
der a weighty moral as well as political
obligation to renew that support.
