WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The alteration men.
tioneddn last nights dispatches, in which General
and Colonel Boynton, son OF the chaplain, in
steae Of between General Howard and DR.. Boyn-
ton. Chaplain Boynton and General Howard
have rot exchanged word with each other since
the late council met At the close of one of the
sessions in the church, General Howard was re-
peatipy The charges against DR.. Boynton to a
crowd which had gathered around him, when
Cologel Boynton came to the rescue, and informed
the Crowd that General Howard himself had ad-
United that the very charges he was relating we're
frivol2us, At this point General Howard ex-
citedls and repeatedly denounced Col BoSnton as
a liar To this Colonel Boynton replied that, as
Howard had only one arm, be could repeat the
state mt at his pleasure, as no one but coward
coull be forced to attack him but that there was
no olber member of the church who would so de-
mean himself as tn call any one liar in the church

In this connection it ought TO be stated that
Towards sole purpose in seeking depose Boyn-
ION was to introduce social equality, even to

a certain newspaper man defended Howard
against the charge Of being an amalgamatonist,
and Howard wrote to him privately not to commit
him against 1t.

Why Grant DisIlAes the Hebrews

A correspondent of the Chicago Tine.
says:
The question is often asked, "Wh hat hat
| General Grant against the Jews = OF
! "Why did he issue that notorious procla-
nation driving all Jews and other vaga-
! bonds, outside his eucampment 2 AND
not having seen any satisfactory published
answer, l will give you what suppose to
I be the real cause Of his dislike TO the
Jews. During the witer of 1859 and
1860, while Grant was living at Galena,
he took it into his head to commence busi-
ness on his own hook and thinking there
was speculation Ill buying dressed hogs
and shipping them to Chicago, lie came
down 10 the town Of Bellevue, lying some
twelve miles southwest, on the west bank
Of the Mississippi, for the purpose Of buy
ing of the fairness as they came in town
with their pork, and having it hauled to
Galena, and there shipped Oh the railroad
to Chicago, OF in any other way was dis
posed Of SO as 10 make proft-which
was very honorable, and, if managed un-
derstandingly, could have been made a
profitable business There lived at that
time in Bellevue a man by the name Of
Rosenthsl, who was a Jew, and who was
IN the pork trade, and, of course. would
be glad to keep the trade in his own
hands 80 he determined, if possible, not
to give Grant much of chance, and the
first two or three loads Of pork were bid
up far beyond its real value, and finally
sold to Grant. BY this time Rosenthal
discovered that Grant knew no difference
between the price of light and heavy hogs,
when, In reality, there is q difference of at
least one dollar per hundred-heav5 hogs
being worth one dollar the most-ihe
hogs already purchased by Grant being
light, and he having paid the full price for
heavy hogs. So Rosenthal goes to his
warehouse selects out all his light hogs,
enough to load two or three wagons gets
some farmers who had wood racks on their
! wagons to load on the hogs, drive out of
| town by another street, and come IN on the
main road to the corner where they were
buying. Rosenthal meets them there by
another street, and commenced bidding
against Grant, and, after bidding the pork
up TO the full value of heavy pork, it was
soldsto Grant. But the joke, or ''sell, -
being too good to keep. it was not half an
hour before everybody nearly was splitting
with laughter to see how the Jew had
sold the Galena pork buyer; which SO
disgusted Grant that he went home that
| night, and was never seen in Bellevue
| after. And that transaction so embittered
him against the old tribes of Israel that /
doubt whether he could now be reconciled.
And this is undoubtedly the whole cause
of the expulsion of Jews from the camp.

A grRANGE scene occurred on the farm
of 'Mr. John Mclean, Bruce township,
n. Y. Three men were at work in field
when they observed two eagles on the
wing, apparently fighting. They alighted
on the ground near by. Joseph Graham
made for The scene of action, and boldly
threw himself apon the feathered combat~
ans, seizine hold of one in each hand
They then quit fighting and turned on their
captor. One seized him by The toe of his
boot, the other took firm hold Of his pants
and smock, as he was IN stopping pos
ture. CIR ham, 'h;nking this more than
good fun, cried Justify for help. Angus
Mclean speedily came to the rescue
While removing The talons of one # them
from Graham's clothes, the other turned
upon Mclean and buried his claw in his
arm. However, both eagles were secured
and are now in one cage, restored to peace
and harmony. The female measures six
feet seven inches from tip to tip. The
mae, which IS larger, spreads at least
seven feet.

Mr. Mungen stated in Congress, "A
few days ago. that a proposition was
made by the Confederate government dur
ing the war, TO pay three times the price
in cotton, gold and tobacco for medicines
for our soldiers at Andersonvile and other
Southern prisons that those medicines
should be put under charge of Federal
surgeons, and be by them taken in person
to the different Southern prisons and used
and distributed for the use of Union pris-
oners alone. No response WAS made to
this by the Fedel al government. fI5 said
he could prove this if the HauSo would
