A little incident occurred at the Office
of the State Treasurer, according to an In
dianapolis correspondent, which illustrates
the peculiar beauty of greenbacks. The
deputy treasurer was carrying tray con-
tanning bank bills across the room, upon
the top of the pile being 1wo $500 bills,
one of them greenback, and the other a
national bank bill. When passing the OPP
en- stove door the top one blew off, and
was drawn into the stove, and before it
could be recovered was entirely consumed,
with the exception of a small corner, sufti-
cient te identify it, and there will be no
loss as consequence. If it had happened
to the national bank note, the part recov.
cred would not have identified the bank,
and it would have been impossible to have
realized anything.

General Carey, of Ohio, was the only
Republican in the House who voted az st
the Dictator Despotism bill. That gentle
man non-plused the whole Republican
side before the vote was taken by putting
few questions to Mr.. Bingham who had
charge of the bill and who closed the dc.
bate, and he to-day occupies a position
before the country which his partisan col
leagues will envy when they come to their
senses, if they ever do that. Mr.. Carey
said that as time would not allow him to
give his views on the subject, he desired
to ask his colleague, when he closed the
discussion, four questions, and as they
were answered, his vote would be deter
mined:
III General Grant shall neglect or re-
fuse to exeutce the provisions of this law,
or if in its execution he should act in an
oppressive or cruel manner, to what tribu-
nal would he be amenable for his non
feasance or malfeasance?
2-As by the terms of the bill the Pres
ident can not interfere, can the General
be tried by court martial, and if SO, who
can order it and who shall constitute the
court ?
3-Not being civil officer, can he be
impeached and, if SO, by whom, and be-
fore what tribunal
4-If he can not be arraigned by any
earthly tribunal, is he not made an abso
lutte despot?
These questions being unanswerable
were not answered by Mar. Bingham and
General Carey voted no. AS they imply
Gen. Grant, if this bill passes and he as
sumes to act under it, will be responsible

The Law OF Libel.

The Law OF Libel.
Senator Walden, of Appanoose, distin
guished in Iowa as a fighting soldier and
:" lighting editor" has introduced bill
on the subject of libel, which | cannot but
regard as of no inconsiderable Importance.
If mistake not, it is similar to the Wis
consin law of libel. 1t provides that be-
fore an action for libel can be fully COM
msnced, security for costs must be filed,
two sureties being required that where
jud gment is for the defendant there shall
be taxed in his favor against the plaintiff,
as part of costs, the defendants counsel
fee not to exceed $500 that if the plain
tiff fails, judgment shall be entered against
him and his sureties for the costs, and ex-
ecution issue accordingly that no editor,
printer, or publisher shall be answerable
for libel for printing and publishing the
proceedings of public meetings, courts of
justice, or Of the General Assembly, un-
less special malice shall be alleged and
proved, and such malice will not be pre-
sumed from publication alone, but must
be established by independent and extrin-
sic evidence, the burden of proof being
upon the plaintiff.
Such are the provisions of this bill, the
general prime, Piles Of which every news
pap mau will agree ought to be the law
of the land. l trust that Major Walden
will press his bill, and make its sensible
provisions the law Of the State. There
are at this hour several editors who are
bored aud bothered with libel suits, insti-
tuted by unconsciousable scallawags,
which suits would never have been COM
menced had the law upon this subject
been anything near what it ought to have
been. LINKENsALE.

A one armed man named Robert Moore,
claiming to be an ex-soldier, hung him
self in barn in the rear Of As West
Randolph Street, Chicago, Saturday even
ing. He was very poor, friendless and
addicted to drink.
Where are the G. A. r. fellows, the
Soldiers Homes, the Loyal leagues and the
innumerable other charitable institutions
whose special business is to look after
lone armed, friendless'' soldiers?. A
soldier who entered the army to save the
Union told us that his experience taught
him to rely on those who were plain
enough to tell him of the destruction of
the Constitution for negro enfranchise-
ment rather than on persons who praised
him for valor and loyalty while his empty
sleeve told of the pain he had endured
while such wordy sympathizers as the last
named were snug at home swapping forty
cent currency for gold-interestpaying-ex
experimentation par bonds. The SOL
diers of this country are educating them
selves pretty fast. Vide late elections.

Authorization.

IMAGINATION
Gen. Howard, the head of that sweet
scented institution, the Freedman's Bureau
which costs the country ? dozen millions
a year, in recent address heartily advo-
Gated ANAL gamation, and the telegraph
says that the doctrine is also supported by
other leading men in the Bureau but the
dispatch, with an artlessness that is char
ming, says that much surprise and regret
is felt by leading republicans at Howard S
enunciation Of his opinions upon that sub
ject aud that they are repudiated. The
surprise and regrets of the radicals, do
not proceed from disgust inspired by the
idea Of amalgamation, but from the fear
that it will tend to injure the prospects of
the "Buro,' which is a powerful support
of the great republican party. Gen. How
ard has the reputation Of being consci-
entious man, and he doubtless expresses
his honest convictions. in advocating ANAL
gamation, but the regret of the leading
Republicans is all a sham. They know,
if they have read the history of other ma
tons, that the measures they advocate
will lead directly to commingling of the
races and tna. Generalization of both.

relief to hundreds of invalids, an increase

praise is often injurious hence we do not
intend to plaster medical reputation
where it is notdiseased. DR.. Barth requires

General Grant.

General Grant.
The New York Round Table, radical
weekly paper Of large circulation, sharply
criticises the General. 1t says that she
Grant is astonishingly deficient in per-
sonal magnetism" 1t adds in the same
strain
Probably no military man ever lived
who actually did so much and who at the
same time inspired SO little enthusiasm for
his person. There is no prejudice in this,
for we constantly hear it from men of all
parties The fact that General
Grants name, despite all efforts to the
contrary, makes no pulse beat faster, in
spires no spontaneous cheer, brings color
to no cheek, evokes, in word, no "sensa-
tion,' is very noticeable and important
thing, and one that will have definite in
huence on the future history Of this coun-
try. OF all the influences that dazzle and
control the unthinking masses, military
fame is commonly the most potent yer,
although the figure Ct Grant was for long
time the most conspicuous among the Nor
thcrn hosts, very few seem to think that it
was the most striking"
