The solitary excuse set up by the Rebel
murderers has been that they were led by the
Sheriff of the county, who was fully warranted
by the terms of the Governors proclamation
in dispensing the Republican procession. Here.

this they will continue to invent and spread

Bounty Claims.

The Paymaster Generals office has
received in all 533,2l1 claims for addi-
tional bounty under the act of July %,
1866. The military history of each SOL
der so claiming was traced to ascertain
whether he was entitled, and 3S2,352
claims have been settled. OF the bal
ancc, 81, 410 are ready for payment as
soon as receipts and vouchers are re-
ceived. Those claims have been settled
at the rate of 5000 per month. So if
claimants promptly send in their re-
ceipts they will be settled by November.
The division of referred claims has
also received 37,462 claims for arrears
of pay, &C.. &C., due to officers and SOL
diers for services in the war, 35,S59 have
been settled. The settlement of the
foregoing claims caused disbursement
of nearly S30OO0,000 by the Govern
ment.

The Rugged Issue---HOneSt Men

The Washington Digest publishes a
long list of names, among which are
Grant, Stevens, Sumner, Wade, Schenck,
Sherman, Sprague, and other similar
leading lights of "Republicanism,"
whose aggregate wealth is S73f,66O,O0O!
OF course, in this list he includes the
notorious "Beast Butler" whose for
tune was acquired, the Digest says. by
"Spoons and Plate" The wealth of
these patriots before the invasion OF
the South was S1,O27,000. The Digest
then goes on to say:
"They commenced the Radical war
with million of dollars. They have
run the Government into debt of two
thousand six hundred million ofdollars,
and have pocketed for themselves over

Guile, upon the Grecian Bend and Panier

her:
"Look at them, with their little hats,
scarcely large enough to cover the small
amount of brains they possess; their
extremely short coats, that indicate a
tailor rapacious for cabbage; their tight
little pants, that certainly require the

History Repeats Itself.

Attention is invited to the following,
which occurs in Macauley's History of
England, volume iv, page 267, says:
The Parliament elected in 1861, dur
ing that fit of joy and fondness which
followed the return Of the royal family,
represented not the deliberate sense, but
the momentary caprice of the nation.
Many of the members were men who,
a few months earlier or a few months
later, would have had no chance Of OBJ
tanning seats; men of broken fortunes
and of dissolute habits; men whose
only claim to public confidence was the
ferocious hatred they bore the Puritans
and rebels. The people, so soon as they
had become sober, SAW WITH DIsMAY tC
what an assembly they had, during theil
intoxication, confided the care of theil
property, their liberty and their religion

Got i'm the Wrong Box.

The Mound City (Illinois) journal
tells good one on Goodhall, Of the
Cairo Times, who went there the other
day to the Radical Convention. While
searching for the convention, he, by
mistake, ran into the grand jury room,
the grand jury being in session. After
getting in, he walked along to conve-
nient seat, and sat down. The Sheriff
approached him, and told him he had
no business there, and must leave; but
Goodall thought differently. He said
he had as good right to go into Re.
publican convention as any body, and
he proposed to stay there; he guessed
he knew what he was about. But aftel
some parleying the Sheriff succeeded il
convincing him that that was no Repub
lican Convention, and Goodhall took up
his hat, looking rather cheap, ant
sloDed.

General Thomas.

We find the following paragraph in
the Nashville correspondence of the
Louisville Courier: .... ....
Suit has been entered in the Federal
Court of this city against Gen. George
III. Thomas and others, for fraudulently
coming in possession of forty.tive thou
sand acres of land, in Middle Tennes-
see, belonging to Archibald Swope. 1t
is alleged in the bill which has been
filed that military intimidation on the
part of General Thomas was brought
to bear in forcing Swope to give up his
land. 1t is expected the case will be
taken up in few days.

General Grants UnpOpuIarity.

The New York Round Table was one
of many Northern journals that thought
when Grant was nominated his election
was certain, but is sorely puzzled now
at the utter absence of popular enthusi-
asm in his favor. This it has the frank
ness to acknowledge, and attempts to
account for it in this wise: .....
"The remarkable unpopularity of
General Grant meanwhile appears to in
crease from day to day. Whether it is
that the people instintctively realize the
improperly in republic of placing q
military man as chief ruler over terrific
nv alphabetically free, but which his
sword has just subdued, or that the
Commander-in-C Chiefs personal charac-
teristics beget constantly augmenting
dislike, it is certainly true that for no
military man ever presented as q candi-
date for the Presidency in this country
has there been so little genuine enthusi-
asm. The weakness of some parts OF
the Democratic platform, and the ride.
ulous indiscretions of some Democratic
speech-makers, are. perhaps, more than
counterbalanccd in noXious efficacy by
General Grants utter want of magnet.
ism, and the mistrust OF dislike with
which he is regarded by the people,"
Again in the same article it says:
"From present indications, we are led
to believe that the three great States Of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, will
throw themselves into the scales fol-

do so, not all the hosts of New England

A POetical CuSS.

The Rev. NJ. p. Gaddis has-by re-
quest of the President-resigned the as

Ohio. In his letter to the President the
pious Gaddis says:
"There is divinity that gives shape
to President johnson and Secretary Nc
Culloch's end; that divinity is "Say-
mour and Blair" and the destruction OF
the Union. The divinity which shapes
my end is "Grant and ColtaX," and the
salvation Of the Union" ...f
That's poetic, but not true. The end

There is a gentleman in Nelson coun-

long made it his regular duty and prac-
tice to go into the tobacco fields every
morning, and worm the plants with his

skillful in finding the worms, rarely
suffering one to escape him. Such a
dog is a treasure to his owner, and sets
