!: secretarx Stanton.

The position of Mr.. Stanton appears to
verify what The New York Tribune said of
him, namely that he could not be kicked
out of the Cabinet. The well authentica-
ted personal indignities the Secretary of
War has submitted to in his office; the
plain language he listened to from the
Governor of a New England State, the
epitome of his character furnished him to
his teeth by one of his associates in Mr..
Lincoln's Cabinet, and the manner in which
he was spurned by brave general officer
of the army, confirm what his party CO.
laborer said of his adhesive power to office,
without the remarkable demonstration in
his late correspondence with the President.
Would a man of the least honorable
instinct cling to the position Mr..
Stanton occupies in the official fam
lily of the President, when plainly
requested to resign? What would
be thought of military staff officer who
would hesitate to relieve his commander of
his presence when told it was not desired !?
Mr.. Stanton's passiveness under all these
circumstances evinces philosophy and
torbearance beyond the power of any boot
to disturb-a resignation of everything
but office. The character of an caves
dropper and spy may be more tolerable
to craven spirit than the personal respon-
sibity for insults and outrages would in
yolve when stripped of official protection;
but man of courage would despise the
meanneSs that seeks impunity under the
seal of the nation, clings to a seat unbid-
den, and forces his presence where it is un-
welcome.-BOston Post.

The Suicidal Course of the North
West.

Without the active support of the "great
loyal Northwest" /" the legislation
of New England, in regard to the South
would never find its way into the United
States statutes. Yet sectional legislation
is iDjuIing the vital interests of the
Northwest only less than the South
Insupportable taxation and general pow
erty-the results of New England
rule - have forced our people to
economize, and become self-supporting.
The South once was the market tor the
produce of the Northwest. But now, in
place of buying, the South is sellingl
Once a customer of the, North west, it is
now rival; and when RECONSTRUCTED"
financially, it will prove most formida-
Bile one. Southern wheat is as much su
perior to all other growths as Southern
cotton! 1t will always lead the market.
A friend just in from Alabama tells us
that he bought wheat at ninety cents per
bushel, and corn is offered at one dollar and
fifty cents per barrel. At this rate the
South can raise its own bacon much cheaper
than Cincinnati can sell. Goodbye, Pork
opolis! They say you are dull city at
present. Never mind; you will be duller !!
Like the fool in Esop, you have tried to
kill the goose that layed the golden egg.
Like him, you will find your hands empty,
when It's too late to retrace your folly.

and Northrup having to ascend ladder
into loft to get at the desderado, carried
d 8 pistol cooked. Unfortunately it went
off prematurely, and shot Northrup in
the leg, permanently disabling him. Nor
thrup was always very fond of horses, and
generally rode splendid animals. In Gen
eral Dedge's famous expedition, many
years ago, on the Plains and out into a
country that was then an unknown land,
and looked, upon as a sort of terra incoqnit0,
Nor5hrup was an officer in the expedition.
Dodge's object was to negotiate with the
Indians and conciliate with them. But as
he advanced into the country the Indians
all fled at his approach. The army would
see them in the distance, on the tops of hills,
watching their progress; but Mr.. Redskin
would disappear as the "pale faces came
up. All hopes at negotiations seemed fruit
less; You could not get a palaver with them,
nothing would induce them to come into
our camp. Finally Northup told General
Dodge he would bring an Indian in. He
rode magnificent blooded mare of great
speed and endurance. The next morning
before day. Northrup started out in ad-
vance OF the column, and made long de-
tour. AT the usual hour the column march
ed. AS they advanced they saw an Indian
on his fleet little pony, with his lance,
watching their progress from the top of a
distant hill. Suddenly Mr.. Redskin darted
the hill, his little pony at full speed, rum
ming across the front of the column, and
presently Northrup appeared after Mr.. In
dian with sharp stick, and riding as hard
as he could GO. He had got in the rear of
the Indian, and was going to catch him by
running him down. The chase was very
exciting, for we could see the whole of it.
Finally the blooded mare of Northrup
brought Mr.. Indians pony to stand. OF
course Redskin was frightened out of his
and expected Immediate death and scalp
ing. Lieutenant Northrup brought his
prize safely into camp, where Gen. Dodge,
instead of killing, roasting and eating him,
as he expected, gave him plenty to eat and
drink. made him presents, and then. after
[explaining what he wanted with the Indi-
ans, let him go. After that incident there
was no difficulty in having interviews with
the Indians, and Gen. Dodge accomplished
his negotiations.

NIiseries of right Lacing.

The Northeastern Christian Aduocdte says:
While we are growing very sensible indeed
in the matter of dress, in the way of boots,
balmoral skirts, warm stockings, and high
necks, we are degenerating in some other
matters quite as important. The corset is
not necessary part of woman's wardrobe !;
and, alas when woman does begin to
wear corsets, she will wear them too small,
and with tug at the laces till the breath
becomes short, and she feels it necessary to
refrain from anything like comfortable
meal. We say nothing against well
shaped corset, worn loosely, but there lies
the difficulty. A loose corset Injuries the
appearance, instead of improving it. and
people wear corsets that they may have
small waists. All we can say is, don't
squeeze whatever you do. You may have
small waists, but you are exposing your
self to dozen misfortunes as bad as a
large waist. First you will surely have
dyspepsia,and grow yellow and cross, and
red; secondly, your nose; thirdly you will
be unable to walk mile at once; tourthly-
dinner will be a misery; filthy, your
shoulder blade will increase in size and al
titude; sixthly, your eyes will grow weak
seventhly you will break down at thirty
or thereabout, and be sickly old woman
from time forth. If these troubles do not
frighten women from tight corsets, perhaps
the Information that gentlemen do not adj
mire what dressmakers call "pretty fig
ure," so much as a natural one, may hav,
some influence. -

A BUREAU MAN TARREp AND Val

A BUREAU MAN TARRED AND VAR
NIsnED BT NEGR0ES.-We were informed
yesterday of rich scene that occurred a
few days since at Vienna, village in the
southeastern portion Of this county. The
facts are about these A sub-agent for the
Bureau named Pointer, from Marshall
county, desiring to replenish the Golfers Of
the Bureau, or his own, appeared in
Vienna, and attempted to collect the sum
Of dollar and half from each negro, on
the pretence that this amount was due
from them for drawing up contracts. The
negroes could not see it in this light,
and refused to pay the subsidy; where
upon Pointer, having imbibed freely Of
corn juice, abused the negroes at a round
rate, cursing and threatening them.
After bearing this till patience ceased to
be virtue, a crowd Of them seized the
luckless agent, and besmeared his face
with tar, and afterwards applied coat OF
varnish, and with this dress turned him
loose. But Pointers troubles did not end
here. In his disastrous flight he entered
the store of merchant, where there were
some ladies, using boisterous and indecent
language. He laid himself down before
the fire, muttering and cursipg the while,
when the merchant attempted to put him
out Of the house. At this Pointer showed
fight, and was struck severe blow on the
head with Ratchet, which sobered him
and gave him disgust for the Vienna
country. He left precipitately, and came
into Huntsville yesterday morning with a
disfigured and bloody face.-HuntSUtle IN

Affairs in Alabama.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, December 21.-The
Columbus Enquirer says that the trial OF
the negro revolutionist George Shorter, at
Union Springs, Ala, resulted in his SEN
tence to six months imprisonment. The
! facts heretofore published about his organi-
zation of negro government in Bullock
county were produced, and the report that
he claims to have been sent to do this WORK
by the Radicals in the northwestern States
was confirmed. But for discovery, this
organization would have extended among
the ignorant blacks, and produced much
mischief. TWAS reported in Union Springs
early yesterday morning that Shorter had
escaped from Jail.
A negro near Greenville, Ala, who
shot woman few days ago because she
would not marry him, was arrested by
some other negroes after severe fight, in
which he was badly wounded.

Stanton Before tho Supreme Court OF
the District OF C0lumbia-The South
ern Radicals Complain of the Ac-
tiOn OF the Repu biicam Executive
Committee i'm Fixing so Early a
Date for the Meeting OF the National
Convention.
Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, December 21.-General
Steedman, collector of internal revenue
for the District of Louisiana, left here this
evening en- route to New Orleans.
A suit was called up to-day in the Su-
preme Court of the District Of Columbia,
in which Stanton is charged with falsely
and arbitrarily imprisoning Mr.. Smithson,
a banker in this city, on the charge Of
sending information to the Confederates.
Smithson was tried by military commits
sion, convicted, and sentenced to impri-
sonment in the Albany penitentiary, and
afterwards pardoned on the ground that
there was no semblance of ground for the
charge against him. The case was to-day
postponed.
There are hundreds of cases like this, or
worse, now brought against the "Haman
Of America"
The southern Radicals send here their
complaints against the action Of the Re-
publican Executive Committee in fixing so
early date as 18th of May for the meet
ing of the Convention. They say it is not
possible that the southern States can be
admitted to representation in Congress by
the date of the meeting of the Conven-
ton, and the South is therefore virtually
debarred from participation in the nomi-
nation of candidate for the presidency
by reason of rule Of the committee that
only such States as are represented in
Congress shall be entitled to send dele
gates to the National Convention. They
allege that this rule was adopted to secure
the nomination of General Grant; and
they, the "southern men," being in favor
of Chase, threaten special convention on
the I'D of February. WALLACE.

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ENG
LAND.-Four men suspected Of being con-
nected with the recent Fenian outrages
in London have been arrested. The alarm
still continues.
Magistrates are still swearing in special
policemen the guard around the prison is
strengthened; and warehouses carefully
watched by night. Troops were suddenly
ordered by special train to Portsmouth on
Friday.
A great fire was raging on Friday night
at Newcastle on-Tyne, of which no par
ticulars had been received in London at Q
o'clock in the evening. Newcastle, it will
be remembered, was the scene of the ter
rible explosion Of nitro glycerine day or
two ago, this dangerous fluid having been
secreted there, it was alleged, by the Fe-
mans, and the explosion taking place at
the moment of its seizure by the authorl-
ties.
In view Of the recent outrages committed
by the Fenians in England the Cabinet has
determined to ask Parliament to suspend
the privilege of the writ of ha1eaS corpus
in that country.

WATERBURY, December ia fire broke

four story building on Bank street, entire

The building was occupied by White s
Wells, manufacturers of paper boxes, and
}. Giles & Sons, job printers and publish

The flames spread with great rapidity, cut
ting off those at work on the second and
third floors, and some of the girls effected
their escape by jumping from the windows.
The dwelling house Of Samuel Pritchard,
sdjoining, also took fire, and was entirely
consumed. The furniture was saved. The
fire probably originated from a defect in
the chimney, and was first discovered in
the office OF the box shop, on the first

low the example Of the House, and pass

portionment Of the taxes, the public debt

Mr.. FESSENDEN moved to go into ex-

Several senators objected, when

have but moment amid multiplied

you need not fear that Congress will take
any backward steps in reconstruction. We
have staked our political existence on the
principle that the States lately in rebel
lion shall be re0rganized on the enduring
corner-stones of loyalty and justice, and
shall be led back to their old places in our
council halls by those who dared amid the
tornado of treason that swept over the
South to stand faithfully for liberty and
the Union. While I do not believe in
confiscation, or anything looking like re-
venge, and hope to see suffrage as univer-
sal as safety to the cause Of loyalty will
permit, and the restored States guarantee
ing education to all, would not modify
the terms Of reconstruction in any essen
tial feature one hairs breadth. IF the
former rulers of the South, whose baffled
ambition plunged peaceful country into
the carnage Of civil war, refuse to exer-
else the right of voting, which Congress
proffered to the great bulk of them, on
their own heads, not ours, will be the re-

The Sentence Of Mayor Horton at


Mobile.
MOBILE, Ala, December 2l.-Mayor
Horton was sentenced by Judge Busteed
to-day. The Judge said
"Mr. Horton,-By o jury of your peers,
acquaintance, and townsmen, selected by
yourself from the entire panel, you have
been tried upon an Indictment by the
grand jury, and found guilty Of the offence
laid to your charge. 1t now becomes my
duty to pronounce the sentence of the law
upon your conviction. The indictment
contains two counts-one for the occur
renee of the 9Th Of August, and the other
for the 18th of August, 1867. Each of
these transactions embraces the offence OF
forcibly sending citizen of the State into
exile. The Government might have addi-
tional counts, embracing other charges,
against you for violation of the civil rights
bill, but the indictment is found on these
two offences. On this conviction you might
be sent to the State prison for two years
and fined $4,000, in the discretion of the
court. Its discretion in this behalf must
be exercised in view of its responsibilities
to God and man, I am Of the opinion
that the ends of public justice and the
rights of citizens have been indicated in
YOUR conviction, and that Imprisonment
would not add to its moral effect. The
sentence of the court is that you pay a
fine of $3.50"
A short time after the adjournment oil
the court Horton paid the fine, and was
discharged from custody.
Mayor Horton was appointed Prov
sional Mayor of Mobile by General
Swayne, and his offence was ordering
