WASHINGTON. ID. 4 May ~, 1865.
To Gcnerat Joseph II. Homley President
Of the National Union Republican Conucn
GOa:
In formally accepting ihe nomination of
the National Union Republican Convention
Of the DIST inst, it seems proper that some
statement Of views beyond the mere accept
lance of the nomination should be express.
ed The proceedings ofthe convention were
mark ed with wisdom moderation, and patriot,
ISM and, believe, expressed the feelings of
the great mass of those who sustained the
country through its recent trials. | endorse
their resolutions, and, if elected to the office
of President of the United States, it will be
my cndeavor to administer all the laws in
good faith, with economy and with the view
Of giving peace, quiet, and protection every.
where. In times like the present it is i'm
possible, or at least improper. to lay down
policy to be adhered to, right or wrong
Through an administration Of four years new
political issues not loreseen, are constantly
arising, the views Of the public on old ones
are constantly changing, and n purely ad,
minstrative officer should always be left
free to execute the will Of the people | al
ways have respected that WILL aud always
shall. Peace and universal prosperity, its
sequence, with economy Of administration
will ligkten the burden Of taxation, while it
constantly reduces the national debt Let
US have peace
With great respect, your odedient servant,
L. s. GRANT.

Election in Washington.

The corporation election in the city of
Washington on Monday last. excited more
interest, perhaps, than any local election
that has taken place the present year. The
iiess gives the following account Of the
contest:
The election of Saylcs }. Bowen, the Rad.
ical candidate for Mayor, has completely
consternated the returned rebels. the Cop
perheads, and the whisky ring: and the way
the news was finally aScertaned was !. eau
ton to the confidence men OF Democracy.
Tremendous excrtions had been made to de.
feat Bowen. The whole power of the Ad-
ministration was put forth, and great sums
Of money were expended. The registers APP.
pointed by the Republican court of the Dis,
tnct all turned against Bowen, and chopped
off hundreds of Republicans from the regis
try, The regular soldiers OF the l2th Regi
ment, Colonel Wallace commanding, were
duly voted for the rebel ticket, in direct VIC.
lation OF law aud as usual the Irish citizens
were rallied in IL body for Given, the Dem.
ocratic candidate, am old " Know Nothing
politician. About II O'Clock Bowen was
counted out, and then hegarr scene of rare
daviiiry 1t seemed a. il the very licndS
had been let loose, and nobody could tell
who the beauties wrrr. II did not need the
constant playing Of " Djsic' 10 aito~ that
most OF them had served in The rebel army.
They visited and iusuite1 the Eppubliyan
Senators, threatened the fh,o,sicic office,
and acted generally like demons. Jhrir

head speech but at ! - clock 4. 81. the
scene WAS changed, ana! On Tuesday morn

$302.-A petition, II short time since, was got
mp and signed by our business men and citizens
generally asking further mail accommodation
at Elkton, or rather II restoration of facilities
formerly enjoyed, but which were cut off under
tie economical administration of Postmaster
General Randall. An answer has been received
10 that petition declining to act lavorably on it,
giving us the reason that mail on the afternoon
tain north would cost +.I02 While the Ad-
ninistlation, with its whisky rings, is spending
billions Of the peoples money in clecioncering
purposes to illustrate the will nt the people, it is
perhaps consistent to refuse to accommodate t he
business Of the country on account OF such &C.
copimodation costing IA small outlay. Millions
OF clectioneering documents will lead the mails
sent free by Andy Johnson and his partizans, in
the present political canvass, to try TO bolster mp
the sinking fortunes Of Tie rebellion and My
Policy" but when the business of large trading
community demands further mail facilities it is
refused, because it would cost $500, which can
be more probably spent in purchasing votes for
the robel cause.

PROCEEDINGS oFTHE COUNTY COMMISSION
Frs. Tho County Commissioners have been in
session the most nj the time for the last two
weeks. Their time has been principally taken
up with examining aud passing accounts pre-.

limited amount ol other business has received
Tie attention Of the Board; among which we

severe on accounts cutting down some of them
so per cent. The lawyers especially suffered in
the cutting process This is grievance which
an appeal to the people will not be likely to
remedy, as the said people would be inclined to
take sides with the cutters, right OF wrong. The
Commissioners adj ourned ON Thursday. The
subject of piking,' or otherwise mending the
old plank road by private enterprise and ~ u
levy OF money on the county was talked of, but

GENERAL PUTNAM.

During the Revolutionary war, when
General Putnam was in command Of an
important fortress iu the Highlands of
the Hudson River, his force had teen SO
much weakened by the expiration of linn
tied enlstments, and the withdrawal of
troops for the protection Of other impor-
tant passes, that the enemy vcntured to
besiege his fort. The siege was extended
beyond the patience of veteran who Sc
feelings were more in favor Of fields than
of artificial man@uvrcs. He was still
more annoyed by handy legged drum
mer, who approached an angle Of the fort
every morning to beat an Insulting re-
veille. After having chafed under the
insult like Gagged lion, he procured one
of the Dutch ducking guns, of calibre and
length sufficient to reach The drummer
and punish his audacity. He stationed
himself with this weapon at the parapet
and soon saw bis insulting victim ap
preaching. He had scarcely struck th'
first note of defiance, when drum an,
drummer rolled in the dust. There,
exclaimed the satisfied general, "go t,
- with your sheep skin fiddle !"

REMARKABLE RETRIBUTIoN Recently,
the treasurer Of town in the West, was
shot dead while attempting to rob his
own house It appears that be had col
ected some twelve thousand or fifteen
thousand dollars Of the town taxes, and
left home in the forenoon, telling his wife
he should be gone all night. Towards
night, travelling pcddlcr applied a. the
house for nights lodging. The wife
at first refused to admit him, but finally
yielded, with much reluctance to his re.
quest Some time ia the night the peddler
was awakened by the noise Of men break
lug into his room. Taking them for
robbers, he drew pistol, and fred at
them. One fell and two fed. Lights ts-
ing procured, the dead body of man
with blackened face and otherwise dis.
guised Was found upon the floor. Upon
further examination, it proved to be the
proprietor of the house himself, who had
resorted to this stratagem to steal the
tax money collected, and had met with
this terrible retribution.
