door Of the church this morning, alfred in

WAS Immediately recognized by several per-
sons, and it becoming more generally
known, he was surrounded with admiring
strangers desiring only to grasp his hand.
The General received them kindly, but
evidently thought the demonstration ont of
place, and soon made good his retreat into
the church, He listened with profound at
tention to the sermon, and was one of those
who walked up the aisle and reverently
knelt at the chancel, in obedience to the Di-
vine command, 6 Do this in remembrance

pressed around him before he could get out

unable to learn) burst into tears as she
wrung the hand of the old hero.

THr MANAGERS continue their outrageous

49, 4 I. "a
The MANAGERS continue their outrageous
examination into the private affairs Of gem
tlemen with sort Of bloodhound malignity
and persistence. A more INSCRIPTIONS and
completely packed ,inquisition never exist
ed. It is entirely one-sided. No one can
suppose that any exposure would be made
bysthem Of testimony that might show cor
ruption and bribery on the side Of the i'm
peachers. Bnt they are, not after that.
When it WAS proposed, "a few dayssince, ito
associate some conscientious Conservatives
or Democrats with the Managers for the
purpose Of aiding this investigation the
proposition was extensively rejected. Yet
it is very probable that the only Testimony;
that could be had showing attempts at. cor
ruption and subornation was On the Radical
side.s No party ever dared to prosecute
such ON er pdrte inyestigation--one scan
dalous and disgraceful to the nation.

At the battle of Gaines's Mill, 9th June,

OK Friday night, Mr.. Beecher an
nounced to the congregation of Ply.
mouth Church that his house would be
closed after the next Sunday till the lst
Of October. He also added that when
the vacation was ended he would have
completed twenty-one years Of pastoral
labor with that people. He took the
occasion to review somewhat his minis
try. He thought it unusual that twenty.
one year, should have been marked
with SO much confidence, affection and
Christian love. Differences had often
occurred. He had often rebuked his
people and they had rebuked him, but
the essential harmony had not been
disturbed. Men very much mistook the
aim of his ministry and Of his church
when they regarded 1t as a Reformatory
Church, placing any fundamentally
above the Gospel. Men complained Of
him that he preached sometimes one
way and sometimes another, and that j,
was difficult to tell what he was driving
At. He said he had intended just such
results. Sometimes he preached on one
side of q subject and sometimes on an
other, but he never mixed things
Whatever side or subject he took up he
completed it, and then left it. He
trusted to his long ministry and to the
education bis people had in religious
matters to equslize things, and he
thought, judging by the fruits, that his
| people did as we'll as any people. He
cautioned his church against Boosting
and unduly praising Plymouth Church
its ministry and its arrangements. II
was in bad taste. They must remember
that while they were not behind most
congregations they were on the whols
only an average lot.

IT takes but . few hours to accom-.
plish a revolution in Panama. The last
one was peculiarly managed, and the
Star and Herald gives the accompanying
version of the whole affair "The un'
initiated in the politics Of Panama were
rather astonished on waking up Sunday
morning, July 9Th, to find that a revo'
luton had occurred about five o'clock,
tho Government being overturned, the
President imprisoned, and q Provisional
Government installed, and all done in
the quietest manner possible. The rev
o~lution simply consisted in tho Acting
President, Diaz, handing ovcr the Gov.
eminent to the commander Of the forces,
General Ponce, and making himself a
voluntary prisoner until a Provisional
Government could be established, Of
which General Ponce has been estab'
lished as head"

ENDORSED THE TICKET.

Among other notable things produced
by the nomination Of Seymour and
Blair, we only wait for q graceful recog-
milton Of the merit of the candidates
from Robert E. Lee, to have a complete
Endorsement by the fighting men of the
rebellion. We have already heard from
the navy. At o meeting held after the
New York Convention, Admiral
Semmes, Of the Alabama, whipped in
forty-fve minutes by Commodore Wins
low, of the Kearsarge, came forward to
make a speech, in which, after a deli
cate allusion to his own services in the
cause of treason, he said that he had
always been q Democrat he had fought
il. the ,rar az a Democrat ; that he had
once despaired of q republican govern
ment in this country, but now there was
light in the East which bid them hope.
He had draun his sword against the old
Rag because he pds a Democrat, and il
had ceased to wave over a free and con-
stitutional country" y y He
concluded with the remark that 4" he
here renewed his adhesion to that flag,
provided it could wave over a Govern
ment presided over by such constitu-
tional Democrats as Horatio Seymour
and Frank P. Blair"
It is certainly very frank for the
"Admiral" to declare that he had fought
in the war as a Democrat, to-wit, with
Winslow, Of the Kearssrge, as aforesaid.
We suppose it may be added, to
make the record clear, that he stole
chronometers and spy-glasses a, Dem
ocrat. He enticed unarmed vessels by
falsely flying a friendly flag as a Demo-
crat, and, after plundering them. he
burned them, oil as a Democrat. That
he had drawn his sword against the flag
because he was o Democrat is not sur
prising. 1t was the same sword, VIC
take it, which, when be was in danger
Of being taken prisoner, after his ship
was sunk, instead of keeping, that be
might surrender it like ian officer and
a gentleman" he rather cast it into tho
sea like a sneak and a coward. The old
flag, we now understand, is to BIO the
object Of the "Admiral's' support, pro.
vided alvays, nevertheless, that it "waves
over Seymour and Blair" II it should
happen, on the contrary, that it waves
over Grant and ColfsI, tho "Admiral''
says he will not support it. If the old
flag has reasoning faculties, we should
suppose that it will be pleased with the
escape. Any decent flag which has
been scoffed at by q traitor, which has
been hauled down to give way to a COM
posite thing like the "stars and bars"
would DO greatly Disguised at the
thought of having any homage from a
man who had been guilty Of such an
insult. 1t would prefer to wavO over
those who always defended it, and
whose loyalty is beyond dispute.

phreuolo.teal character Of Con. Grant

nrouoIO8le0l CnuIAoeeA
The following sketch Of Gen. Grant
is copied from the illustrated Annals Of
P~hrenology, issued by Samuel r. Wells,
editor of the chronological Journal. II
/ was written and originally published in
1866: Lieutenant General Ulysses S.
Grant is of moderate stature, say FIVE
feet eight, compactly built, and SYM
metrical. There are no loose tlnbers
in his "make up" nor any adipose.
All is of good material, tough, wiry,
enduring, and we'll put together. Gen
eral Grants chief merits consist in his
high integrity and sense Of justice !
prudence ; steadfastness ; perseverance;
will, governed BY his intellect; resoiu-
ton !; fortitude and sense of honor. He
would do nothing for applause, nothing
10 secure the praise Of men or escape
their criticism. He takes counsel OF his
seniors, but decides according to his
own highest Judgment. He is conscien-
tious and upright in motive, n acts
accordingly. If approved, he is not
elated II disapproved, be is not there
by disconnected, but falls back on that
Power which is above and beyond tho
reach of blame or praise. But, to be o
specific, General Grant has large per-
ceptive faculties; is a quick observer;
eminently systematic and ~methodical,
and has an excellent mathematical in
tellect. He a solve difficult problems
and trace facts TO their principles. Con-
stru~ctiyeness is also large, and he has
good mechanical abilities, and may BIO
said to possess powers Of Invention,
with great natural aptitude for using
tools as we'll rs planning. He O not
only instruct others chow to do It, but
he can do it himself. His temperament
is rather sanguine than Emphatic, COM
bined with the bilious and the nervous;
and he 10 emphatic, doing with a will
what he does at all. His Causality,
Comparison, Mirthfulness, Individuality,
Locality, Human Nature, and Agree
ableness are all prominent. Indeed,
there are no deficiencies among the
faculties, and like clock. work each does
its work in perfect harmony with all the
rest. He judges the character Of men,
reads the motives Of all with whom he
comes in contact, and estimates the
spirit of each and every one. He is not
n builder Of air.castles, but reduces
everything to practice, and his first
question is, "What is its use,' "Whnt
can be done with it 2" and he discovers
and decides at once what to do. There
is nothing bombastic or pretentious
about him. He stands on his merits,
assuming nothing but doing everything.
We deem it quite safe to predict that
the longer Gen. Grant lires-should no
accident befall him-the higher he will
stand in the estimation Of his country
men. He is one among many who have
won unfading l~aurels, but few, if any,
wear them so modestly or 80 becoming
ly. He is the embodiment of those
words, sensible and expressive, which
it would be we'll for all to heed, when
told 10 mind sour own business"
