A VERMILLION EDICT.-In letter written
by General Grant to General Sherman, since
the nomination of the former for the Presi-
dency, appears the following very significant
threat:
do not expect or want active support. but merely
the satisfaction of knowing what your letter
me of on your pert Officers who expect to make the
army their home for life have to under success
sive administrations AMI should not make themselves
obnoxious to any party likely to came into pocer &
Thus, in word, the General-in-C Chief orders
his subaltern officers to support him aud the
Republican party, on pain of his supreme dis
pleasure, if he is successful. Is not this bold
step toward military despotisln? asks the Sac
ramentO Reporter.

FROM WARREN 's.-Travis johnson, FORM
erly Sheriff of Alturas county, arrived in town
yesterday morning, six days from Warren's.
He came by way of the Lakes and the Payette
Valleys, and informed US that he and his com.
panions on the journey had to travel over
snow all the way III from the Big Lake-a good
100 miles. On the mountain, which separates
Upper Payette Valley from Ronde Valley, the
snow was six inches deep. He reports dull
times at Warren's, and a good many leaving.
During the past year Mr.. johnson has visited
Lemhi, and nearly every mining camp In Mon
tana, and he says he prefers to cast his lot in
Aturas or in this region to residence in any
camp he has been in. He will go from here
TO Boise City, where he will perhaps soiourn
until Spring opens.

to relate the particulars of seduction case Il ir
which Sister Of Charity, Miss Bridget Edith
O'Gorman was the alleged plaintiff, and Rev.
Mr.. Walsh, defendant Walsh was recently
the spiritual adviser at the Convent Of Notre

O'Gorman was an inmate. The dispatch was
very minute in it's relation Of the details Of the
affair, and closed with the statement that the
Rev. Father was held to bail to answer the
charges against him of Sister O'Gornlan. Tt
would now appear that this telegram was
founded on mistake. Father, Walsh is an in
nocent man, and has not been brought up to
Court in Boston at all, and Bridget O'Gorniari,

ary charge against the Father, and knew moth

The family stood it as long as possible,
and then moved out Another family

The owner offered twenty-five dollars to
any one who would "lay" the ghost, and
a young man, possessed Of more courage
than money, offered to do the job. He
armed himself and repaired to the house
Just as the clock struck the hour of md
night'a slightnoisew was heard, followed by
a groan. About this time, doors in the

Special to the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-McCulloch and
Rollins are working pretty we'll together
on the appointment of Supervisors, two
more have been confirmed to-day, and
two more will be confirmed tomorrow.
| McCulIoch, however. to-day rejected Hud-
son, Of Massachusetts, whom Rollins was
very solicitous to have confirmed. Cum
Minis, of Indiana, was also rejected. Alex.
Fulton, for Maryland, and Bennett, for

frmed to day, are bitter Radicals.
ANNUAL REPORTS.
Most of the annual reports.o Of the differ

maEders have been received at the War
Department That of Gen. Sherman,
which includes reports from Gen. Sheri
dan and others, gives interesting details of
military operations against the Indians up
to the Both of June last.
HON. H. V. MILLER,
Senator elect from Georgia, in a letter to
a friend in this city, says: II placed my
self in opposition to nearly all my friends
by frankly accepting the terms rendered
in the reconstruction acts. 1t speaks well
for their generosity, and it is no, a little
gratifying to me that, while actively and
openly opposed them, l retained their con-
iidence. They very well understand that
! will, as a citizen or as Senator, offer no
factious opposition TO Gen. Grants admin
istraliOn. Ga the contrary, so far as Isl
consistent with my duty 10 my country and
my obligations to the constitution, | will
SUSTAIN IT,"
ANOTHER CONTESTANT.

notice that he will contest the election of

pressd determination to take a firm stand
against those men who, being rejected by
their own people, ask Congress 10 grant
what the people have refused.
HON. E. B. wAsHBURNE,
of Illinois, arrived last night, and was the
ob-erved of all observers to-day. He
called on Commissioner Rollins and had |
a long interview this morning. He intends |
until Congress meets.
SENATOR THAYER,
Of Nebraska. arrived this morning, and |
will remain till Congress assemblies.
THE EVARTS DINNER.
The dinner given in New York to-
night By Evarts to Gen. Grant and the |
Presidents Cabinet Ministers, Is construed |
here a. part of Evarto' programme to be
retained in the Cabinet, and TO ascertain
whether Grant would be likely to keep
any of the other members, but Grants re-
fisal to meet socially with them settles
that question beyond doubt.

thus far is 100 The new voters adhere
to the teachings Of the Constitution but
not as read by Disraeli They have
agreed to redress all wrongs and to re-
spect the change for the simple sake of
the change. The result of the elections
thus far justifes the reform act as IN i'm
provement in the legislative machine
and discredits the prediction that itwould
enthrone the mObs and encourage the
dreams of wild democracy
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-This mornings
Herald says whatever sentence the Minis
istry may get hereafter, the verdict was
not against them yesterday and the party
now in power will be able to command
the government for two years though in
a minority. 1t is now less in minority
than before. The Conservative gains
more than counterbalance the Conserva>
tive losses.
The city entitled to four members of
Parliament has so far elected three out
of four of Liberal candidates.
It's understood that If Mr. Gladstone
is declared elected from Southwest Lans
cashire, the Liberals will run John Stuart
Mills in Greenwich where he will be sure
of an elec6on.
