PARTISAN

Partisan detraction and malignity
may be expected to 60 to unusual
lengths during the pending Presidential
canvass, but a more fragrant instance
than one recorded in a recent issue Of
the Charleston Is. C.) Ne,rs has seldom
been brought to the notice of Journal
lists. That paper states that during the
Crystal Palace Exhibition in New York
in 1868, General Grant, then a young
officer Of the United States Army, 'dis-
tinguished himself by riding a horse
into a hat store, and performed other
feats, which at last brought him to a
court MARTIAL" assembled at Fortress
Monroe, by which he was found guilty
of "conduct u%nbecoming an officer and
a gentleman" The Neps continues:
Informed Of the finding, and anticipating
its approval, the Captain, for such he was,
went at once to Washington, called upon the
Secretary Of War, and made n frank state
ment of the case. He acknowledged his
fault, but said that II punished by the Court
in the manner he expected, he would be for.
ever disgraced. In consideration Of his po-
sition as an officer, and the circumstances
connected with his family. he begged per-
mission to resign. The Secretary Of War
informed him that such a thing as a resigna-
ton after charges had been preferred was
unheard Of in the annals Of military law,
and contrary to the rules and practice of the
service. But the officer begged on, and
6no1lv kha Canvatarv ytaldad ,ha ras;rnat;oo
was allowed, and the soldier became u civil
ian and u merchant. That officer was Gen.
Ulysses s. Grant, and the Secretary Of War,
Jefferson Davis. These are the facts as they
were related to US by an officer Of the United
States army.
The person designated ''au officer Of
the United States army might have
saved himself from the infamy Of de.
flaming a brother officer and telling a
gross untruth, had he consulted the
valuable work recently published by
Gen. Cullom, detailing the personal
history Of the graduates Of West Point,
which may be considered authentic. He
would have found recorded there, on
the authority Of official documents, that
from 1852 to 1854, within which period
the Crystal Palace was i%naugurated,
Lieut.. Grant was stationed at various
posts in Oregon and California, and
therefore, could not possibly have been
in New York, or have been tried at
Fortress Monroe for improprieties COM
mitted in that city. In view Of testimony
Of this kind, the efforts Of the Charles
ton NsU, to %iujure the reputation Of a
man who enjoys the confidence Of n
Of the great political parties of the
country are contemplate and disgrace
full.

THE Siamese Twins, it is stated, are
going over to Paris with the intention
Of submitting to a surgical operation
for the severance Of the ligament that
unites them. The twins have lived to
the age of SO, and have raised large
families of children. In the course Of
nature one of this singular pair may die
and bis decease would Immediately
prove fatal to the survivor. To prevent
this catastrophe the operation is sug-
gested. Many years ago, it is reported,
the subject of the effect of IN operation
was discussed in Paris, and the opinions
Of the surgeons were by no means on
elusive as to the feasibility of severing
the ligament, which is situated near the
vital organs, and has now developed
into q hardened structure. So many
questions as to the responsibility of the
operator, in case the result should be
fatal, may be started, that it will be diff
icult TO find q surgeon who would run
the risk of a criminal prosecution.

IsRAELiTEs are constantly subjected
to the charge that they do not consider
themselves permanent citizens of the
country where they reside, but that
they are awaiting the coming Of q tenn
poral Messiah, who will establish the
nation in Palestine. This charge was
denied by Rabbi L~ilientbal a. the recen,
laying Of the corner-stoue of a house of
worship for Israelites at Cincinnati.
DR.. Lilienthal said : America is our
Palestine; here is our Zion and Jeru-
salem ; Washington and the siguers of
the glorious Declaration Of I~udepend-
ence, Of universal human right, liberty
and happiness, are our Messiah ; and
the time when their doctrines will be
recognized and carried into effect all
over the world is the time so hopefully
foretold by our great prophets. When
men will live together united in broth
erly love, peace, justice and mutual be-
nevoleaee, then the Messiah has come
indeed, and the Spirit Of the Lord will
have been revealed to all his creatures"

A TERRIBLE PUNIsHNENT.-We are in
formed by a reliable physician Of this
city that q terrible punishment was
meted out to m offender by IN outraged
husband. The facts US given to us are
as follows A married man, q shoe
maker by trade, residing on or nea

day Of last week, intending to be absent
about ten days On the following
Wednesday evening be entered his resi-
dence quite Unexpectedly and found one
Of his neighbors asleep on his bed with
his boots and coat of. This singular
conduct was explained by the neighbor,
who solemnly declared that be had come
there with no criminal intent. The next
morning an old negro woman informed
the jealous husband that the same man
had been at his house almost constantly
during bis absence ; his suspicion was
again aroused by this information, and
he determined to set a trap for his
neighbor, and to punish him in the
most terrible manner if be found that
he was correct in his suspicious. Ac-
cord ngly, he informed his wife that he
was compelled to 60 forthwith to Ham
nibal, and took his departure immedi-
ately ; he managed, however, to return
to the house unobserved, and hid HIM
self in his bed-chamber. Late That
evening his neighbor entered the room,
and the shoemaker was soon convinced
that the old negro woman was correct
in her information. Whilst the criminal
couple were in fagrdnte dslietu, the bus
band rushed forth from his hiding place
and attacked the man with a shoe
makers knife ; despite his most vigor-
Gus efforts, the shoemaker succeeded in
ea,trating the offender. The wounded
man hurried out Of the house, and Is at

THR woRLp IN A CITY.
Siiy-Ws.s . 5sascrSsic Ns%.I.se'


New York is an epitome OF the world.
Not only does it accommodate inhabi-
tants from every quarter of the globe,
but 1t can show the peculiar habits,
manner and customs Of almost every
community known to mankind. The
Schuetzenfest shows conclusively, what
has often been stated, that we have a
larger German population than any but
Two OF the cities which claim to make a
part OF Germany. These people not
only preserve. their national sports,
pastimes, and customs generally, but
are inducing as to adopt the same with
great rapidity. As for the French,
Italian, and Spanish people, we have a
large number Of them among Us. The
Italians have their quarter, so have the
Spaniards, and, If you want to be trans
ported to Madrid or Havana, for an hour
or two, you have only to drop in at any
OF the numerous Spanish hotels or
boarding houses on the west side of the
city to be grati6ed. There are Turkish
families residing here. Across the river
is q band Of gipsies, and nea the dry
dock at least 200 Of these nomads have
become house dwellers." The only
representatives Of the aboriginal Indian
we have here are not the genuine article,
but half-breeds, who sell bead work for
a living, and do not get much Of a liv-
ing at that. Greeks and Tartars reside
here, although not in great numbers.
The Swedes and the Welsh form con-
siderable and important communities,
and have their own clubs, libraries,
reading rooms and churches. The
Chinese are more numerous In the me-
tropolis than many people suppose, and
have quite Q town in Cherry street,
where they worship their Joss with the
same regularity and devotion that would
be observed were they inside the Great
Wall. They are mostly married to 10.
dies of Milesian extraction, and their
Irish. Chinese offspring are already nu-
merous. Some Of these days Mr..
0'Flarerty Tching Foo will be claiming
a nomination for Alderman, or knock.
ing for admission Credentials In pocket)
at the door Of Congress, and who shall
say him nay2 =.
As to the Irish, It is difficult to tell
how many we have among us. Dublin
has a population Of 3l8,o 900, and, we
guess, New York will rank first after it
for Irish population.
Tho Parsees, or Persian FIRE worship
ers, are largely represented in London;
and we understand that several of these
singular folks are here, engaged 10 mer-
camille pursuits. Iu fact, New York Is
Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, Pekin,
Cork, Edinburgh, Madrid, Holland, Con.
s%,antinople, Africa, Stockholm, and all
other important parts Of creation COM
bined, and II Is not for lack of advan-
tages if the pure New Yorker does not
grow up the cleyerest and best Informed
man Of the world that ever trod the
mundane sphere.-Nev York Erprs'',

TRADE AND MoSEY.-The supply Of
money is very good, and the demand
continues. Business is generally very
active, and money does not, therefore,
circulate with any great degree of free
dom. The rise in gold at the East nat
urally prompts a desire to remit by
telegraphic transfers. The rates have
not materially changed, however. We
quote: Money, l@lf per cent. per
month at bank, and lo@l2 per cent.
per annum on terms coin drafts, a@l
per cent; currency drafts 40@4l;
transfers, l@l}; sterling, 4si@4sd
gold bars, so@s9o; silver bars, 3@3
premium. The supply Of grain bills
does not materially increase as yet,
owing to the backwardness Of grain
supply.-S. r. Aia, 2lst.

BRICK PoXERoY.-This is the name by
which the editor and owner Of the La
Crosse Democrat likes to be called. His
scurrility and blackguardism are a dis.
grace to all journalism. The Marion
(Alabama) Commonwealth speaking Of
him says:
He became popular In the South, as we
personally know, by his trenchant attacks
upon political follies and heresies-he Is
now running his reputation by turning his
batteries against dead men and defenseless
women.
No man ever lived, perhaps, who had fewer
political friends in the South than Mr.. Lin
coin. But, Notwithstanding this, there was
no man whose violent death was more gen.
orally lamented among our people. And We
have heard numbers OF Brick Pomeroy's Ala
bama subscribers-all Of them, indeed, with
whom we have couversed-pronounce the
treatment extended by his paper to the men,
DRY Of Mr.. Lincoln "a shame and a disgrace
to civilization" The Southern people are
not hyenas. They never tear open the graves
Of either friend or foe to prey upon that
which should be held sacred BY all right
p%rincipled survivors-the faults OF the dead.
But as much as Bricks Southern subscri-
bers resent his continued attacks upon Mr..
Lincoln, they resent those he makes upon
Mrs. Lincoln infinitely more.
The Boisser (La.) Banner says:
The brutality Of "Brick" Pomeroy's attacks
upon Mrs. Lincoln are sanctioned by no
gentleman. His warfare upon the dead
president Lincoln) is inhuman. Whilst the
brothers Of Mrs. Lincoln (who is herself q
native Southern LADY, were in the armies Of
the Confederacy, defending Southern soil,
"Brick" Pomeroy was in the Northern arm
following in the wake, as he himself says, Of
thieves. and for some imprudence he was
sent out of the lines Of Gen. Steele. II
"Brick" Pomeroy will recount the battles he
fought for Southern rights and show US the
wounds he received in the cause Of the Con-
federate struggle, we will acknowledge his
claims to speak in behalf OF the "lost cause"
Otherwise we will allow no such jackdaw to
wear the peacock plumage.

most brutal crime was recently commit.
ted through the effects of superstitious
fear. An old woman was reported to
be a witch, and to hold communication
direct with Satan. Everybody dreaded
her, and all accidents or misfortunes
were laid at her door. Two men, fear
ing her influence, determined to rid the
country of such a plague, and therefore
fell upon her at night with their knives

VALLASDIaHAN, through the Dayton
Ledger, administers a sharp rebuke to
those Democratic newspapers which are
opening the canvass by assaults upon
the capacity and military services Of
General Grant. He speaks Of this as
"the weakest and most foolish thing
that the Democratic press or Democratic
orators can do" The strength of the
Democracy, he thinks, lies in the fac,
that the country wants a statesman
rather than q soldier, for President.

Two strange creatures were recently
discovered on the rocks by the CON-
mander Of the British frigate Shear
water, during its passage through the
Straits of Magellan. These wild men
were at irst taken for P~atagouiaus, but
on nearing them, however, they turned
out to be two Englishmen, who had
formed part of the crew Of the Chauti-
cleer. Being sent on shore, the bad
weather prevented them from regaining
their vessel, and they were cast on the
Pstagoniau coast. They had existed
for six weeks on mussels picked from
the rocks, and when discovered were
covered with snow. Hourly expecting
death, they had jointly sworn that the
survivor should not eat the other.
