The Washington correspondent of

The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger, reliable author
ity in such matters, says the President
has not intimated to any one his pur-
pose or inclination to remove General
Sheridan. Any statements heretofore
about the purposes of the Administra-
tion relative to the action OF command
ing generals are utterly unfounded.
The President has desired that those
officers should be permitted to go unmo-
Tested, if possible, in performances of
their duties, and If they be interfered
with, such interference win be under
the advice Of the Attorney General.

at Ia so dull here now that you will
pardon me a single paragraph not on
political matters. Rev. DR.. Mcleod,
editor Of "Good Words" London, is
writing story called "The Startling"
and it is rich in pathos, wit and charac-
ter-drawing. Chapters are nearly equal
to Scott's best and the story is upon
church matters too. Littell's Living
Age has just begun to reprint the story.
BY the way, the Age copies pretty much
everything that is good from abroad. 1

The PARAGUAYAN WAR.-The reasons
assigned by the allied governments,
now at war with Paraguay, for declin-
ing the offer OF mediation by the United
States, among other things allege that
the Province of Paraguay, after its in
dependence had been conceded, proceed
ed to make itself very formidable mil
itary power, and commenced a war upon
the neighboripg countries in utter disre-
gard of the preliminary notice required
by the treaty. The allies cannot close
the war, therefore until they have Sc
cured certain redress and guarantees for
the future, and they therefore declined
the profered mediation.

PARDON OF JEFFERSON DAvIs.-It is
now said that Jefferson Davis is not
averse to petitioning President Johnson
for pardon. The statement published
before, to the effect that the ex-rebel
President was too proud to acknowledge
the error, of his ways, and too lofty to
stoop to the humiliation of a petition,
would therefore seem to be erroneous.
Mr.. Davis lately told prominent
Louisianian that he would gladly sue
for pardon if he could only think his eff.
fort would prove success. President
johnson, it is believed, would willingly
grant full pardon to the fallen chief
on the presentation of proper petition.
A petition is in circulation signed by
several Southern men of the Sharkey-
Monroe stamp, praying Executive
Clemency in behalf of Mr.. Davis. No
radical names are attached to the paper,
all the leading Senators and Represent
atives having refused TO have anything
to do with the movement. President
Johnson, it is said cares nothing for this
omission, expressing the opinion that he
alone has the power to decide the mat
ter, and that he intends to do just as
his own convictions of justice and pro-
priety dictate. Paul Bagley, the en-
thusiastic pardon manager, who has
travelled all over the country for the
purpose of agitating the question of Mr..
Davis pardon, has charge of tie petition
referred to- and has forwarded it to
Canada, with the hope of obtaining a
special petition from the chief party in
terested.

The OLD STORY CONSEQUENT UPON I'M
BGBING Too Much Poor WHIsKRY.-On
the 23d inst, VIM. Hannah, residing at
Scotch Hill, near Fairhaven, went over
to Whitehall for a days relaxation.
Deep potations of mountain dew, which
might not have affected him among the
pure air Of his adopted mountains in
Vermont, entirely overcame him amid
the exhalations of Northern New York
lowlands, and he entirely forgot the pro-
prieties OF tbs situation, and stood on
the sidewalk saluting passers by in ex,
tremely decorous and improper language,
not having discriminating perception
Of what is intended by freedom Of speech.
He was taken in charge by the constabu-
larry and brought before Justice Smith,
who, with promptness that would de-
light Justice Connolly of the Tombs,
fined him $40 and costs, and in default
OF payment, committed him for ten days.
We presume ten days at Salem will
make him wiser if not a sadder man,
and fill him with distrust of poteen.
