An Old Army Wagon A Bit of
Sentiment.

The Paris correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from the
Great Exposition, stirs a soldiers
heart as follows:
"But as / walked through the an
mex of the American department
admiring the magnificent samples
of agriculture and other implements,
l stumbled suddenly upon a plain
wagon, all rusty and bruised, but
yet solid and capable, and l natur-
ally said to myself, "Why how
could they have been so careless as
to leave this old wagon in the Exhi-
bition among these handsome and
shiny things ?" But as / looked at
it closer, saw to my surprise the
following inscription This wagon,
after making the campaigns of the
Potomac, was transferred to Nash
vile, Tennessee, and made the cam
paigns to Chattanooga, Atlanta and
through with Sherman to the sea !"
Brave old invalid! thank the man
that sent you here! l thank him
for this moment of deep and genu-
inc patriotic emotion. For ten min
utes l could not take my eyes from
that silent but speaking remnant Of
the great struggle. Its magnificent
neighbors, McCormick's reaper,
Grants locomotive, Stephenson's
street car, were all forgotten and no
longer dazzled the eyes.
The owner of it sent it here to
show its superiority of construc-
tion; to me it told quite another
tale. l could not enter into his
motives at all. To him it was a
mere machine, showing the excel
lence of his workmanship; to me
it was poem. In its battered sides
and rusty irons, l could read the
advances and retreats, the long
marches, the difficult passes, the
swamps the corduroy roads, the
swift running rivers, the entangle-
ment of the battlefield, the carnage
of the battle! To me it told of the
suffering Of our brave boys, strug-
Cling for the dear old flag; it told
Of their toilsome marches, Of their
fatigues, their endurance, their bra
very, and finally of their glorious
success Tough old wagon! How
strangely you look in this far dis
tant land, surrounded by all the
of all the earth, and
passed by with indifference by the
crowd as something left by accident
in the place you occupy!

Assault With Intent to murder

On the evening of the Fourth,
about sundown, q man named Silas
Spencer, living in this vicinity, with
out a word Of alteration or no.e
of warning, threw the half of a
brick across South street at the cor
ner ofSugar'r,e, distance ofabout
fifty feet, striking Lieut.. P, A, Ar
thur, Of this place, in the forehead,
as he was standing conversing with
other persons, laying him out sense
less, and it was thought forsome
time, lifeless also. He revived in a
few minutes, however, and was cur
ried to his home near by, where he
has remained in a precarious condi-
ton to the present, though strong
hopes are now entertained of his
final recovery. His skull is fractur-
ed above the eye, and nothing saved
hiw from instant death but the par
tial protection given by his cap.
The wretched murderer, in inten-
ton, fed, but was pursued and ar
rested, having a heavy rock in each
hand, and was lodged in Jail, where
he will remain to await the sitting
of the Grand Jury, next week.
Spencer belonged to Lieutenant
Arthur's company in the llth o. v.
l., and it is said that he had an old
grudge against the Lieutenant, and
that when intoxicated, he has some
times, heretofore, threatened ven
geance against him.
Later; Since the foregoing was
put in type, Spencer has had a hear
ing before Esq Quinby, and has
been admitted to bail Wilmington
Republican.

BAD ARITHMETIC.

The Democratic Editors are con
tinually grumbling about the ex-
pense Of carrying on the govern
ment under the administration OF
the present dominant party. With
what regard for truth their state
ments are made, may be seen from
the following:
The Register of this place, in its
issue of the 4th, says that "The cost
of running this Government under
Radical dis-union rule, is about
eight hundred millions Of dollars
per year, and that in a time Of pro.
found peace"
That statement is all .fuStidn or
shoddy, which everyou choose; but
determined not to be out done by
any of his Butternut brethren, Mr.,
Gould says, and perhaps he don't
know any better, that
"Thirty dollars per week to ev-
man, woman and child, are now ex-
pended by the best government upon
earth !"
First he says $SO0,OOO,OOO year
are paid to run this government un-
der dis-union rule; then he says
$50 a week are expended. Whoev-
er will take the trouble to use his
pencil, will find that if the expense
is S800,000,000 a year, as the Reg
lister says it is, the cost to each in
dividual would be less than 1928 a
year; and that if the expense were
$50 per week, as Mr.. Gould says it
is, estimating the population at what
it is at this time, 100000, and the
cost of running this government
under dis-union rule as Gould says,
would, instead of SS00,000,000, be
S54,600,0OO,C0O!

General Grants Position.

There is no question, about which
there has been so much doubt during
the past six months, as the views of
General GRANT upon the present
political issues. He has beenreported
both for the President and as support
ing Congress, and his conduct and
words have been cited to prove each
averment. The matter is again moot
ed in the newspapers. A Washington
correspondent of the New York Times
sends the following to his paper, I'M
der date of January g.:
SIN conversation with General Grant,
to-day, relative to his reported approval
of the Presidents veto of the District Suf-
frage Bill, l learn the following facts: He
was present at the Cabinet meeting by re-
quest, without previous knowledge of the
subject that would come up for delibera-
tion. In the discussion of the bill General
Grant took no part; and after all were
through, and he had risen from his seat to
depart, the President asked him if there
would be any improperly in asking his
views on the subject. General Grant re-
piled, very briefly, that the objection which
had been urged by one member of the Cab
met, that it was unconstitutional because
Il Clisfranchised rebels without trial, was,
In his estimation, the best part of the bill,
and exhibited the most wisdom. With
reference to comforting the right of suf-
frage upon the colored people OF this Dis
tTict, he remarked that he always thought
it inconsistent, on the part of Congress, to
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-01-14

enforce this right here" while they refused
to grant it to the same class in their own
States. Either members Of Congress
should extend this privilege at home, or
wait until the people here ask for it. This
was the extent of his expression upon the
subject. Upon the arguments and princi-
pies involved in the message he uttered no
opinion whatever"
3 We deem it prOperYinqthis sconnec-
ton, to say that within the past few
days at Indianapolis, in conversation
with distinguished gentleman from
Washington City, we were assured of
General GRANTS full Sympathy with
Congress on the question of recon-
struetion. This, gentleman is we'll
informed IN the political circles of the
Capital, and says that he knows
whereof he speaks, when he states
that there. is, no question about the
Generals Endorsement of the action of
Congress in reference to the rebel
States, and hisoppositien to the policy
of Mr.. JOHNSON. So well is this un-
derstood at Washington, that he is
strongly urged by prominentRepubli-
cans, as the next candidatetof. the party
for the Presidency. 10 90
