last Monday week hired a horse from Mr.
Morgan BrannOn, Of this place, to go into the
country short distance. 1t appears that,
instead of returning the horse, he sold him
TO another negro for $40. The gentleman
with whom the purchaser of the horse lived,
suspecting something wrong, rode into town
on the animal to inquire into the case. and
found out that the horse, worth about 800,
had been hired from Mr.. Braunou. Mr.. Il.
therefore recovered his property, and on last
Monday the daring thief, who had come back
to town, was arrested by 1t. Mesmer, Chief

y special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
has the following piece of information with
regard to the relations subsisting between
Gen. Grant, aud the dccapitatcd Secretary of
WaT, Stanton -
The correspondent Of the Cincinnati Con,>
mereiuE telegraphs from this city tonight an
account of little uupleasantness that has
arisen between General Grant and Mr. Stan
ton, on account of the pkrszeoloCy of the
latter's letter, yielding to superior force"
and slight disagreement between them as to
the facts connected with the change in the
War Department.
From General Grants testimony before
the impeachment committee. it appears that
prior to the correspondence between them.
General Grant and Mr. Stanton had con-
Tersation upon the proposed suspension of the
latter. 1t is alleged that General Grant COM
plains of Mr.. Stanton's language in this note
as being at variance in tone from what was
agreed upon in their consultation.

Conservative Convention, to meet in Wheel
ing. on the 9Th of January, 1868, We last

We hope it is the las: time that she conserva.
