to the amount of capital invested
than almost any other business, ant
the greenbacks, or "Lincoln scabs,
are required in every instance. 2 II
view Of these facts we find it our, duty
10 respectfully request generalset

We do not indulge in the plan o.

We had just seated ourselves aud
prepared for a comfortable, smoke,
when in came the conductor, andwho
should it be but our friend Fred. b
After the common -salutation, "How

Fred said he had some business for

From the Henderson (Rusk County,
Texas Times OF late date, we learn that
the negroes in that section are forming Con
sentative clubs. The Times says:
Our people are beginning to do one sensi-
bic thing-learning the negroes their true
interest are identified with ours-and form
ing Conservative clubs. Had it not been
for radical teaching he would have learned
it long ago.
The negroes are, m various places, form
ing Conservative clubs and thus defeating
loyal leagueism.
The same paper thus strikes at the ne,0
commander Of Texas:
1t will be seen by reference to the order
that Gen Reynolds has been appointed to
the command Of this the filthy military dis
trict, comprising the State of Texas. An
appointment more distasteful to the majority
Of the people could not have been made
None but radicals may expect any favors
during his administration. 1t looks very
much like President johnson is rather
weakening.

THE NAR DEPARTMENT QUEsTIoN.-A
regular Cabinet meeting was held yester
day, at which al the Numbers were pre-
sent except Mr.. Stanton. General Thomas
was invited 10 take seat at the board az
Secretary Of War al interim, and Gid 50.
The session was i long one and it is un-
i4rStood the War Department imbroglio
and the impeachment trial were the most
Important subjects considered. The pro-
tessed friends OF the President say that
the Cabinet is now a unit reSar ding all
affairs pertaining to tho -csaIfapo-ac a.
Johnson and, moreover, that Thomas will
obtain posScssor Of The War Department
at az early day. So says Forney.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Nov York Times says
The President has determined on 3
course with regard to the War Depart
lncnt which is very likely to end in further
embarrassment, if uOt direct conflict, aud
to add TO tie certainty OF his conviction by
the Senate. In pursuance Of. his determi-
nation not to recognize Mr.. Stanton in any
way, he requires al! communication with
! himself to be made direct, without passing
through the regular channel of the i al
Department. Thus on Saturday he sen!
back parcel of papers Forwarded to him
from General GrauL's headquarters through
the War Department which did aot eve,
bear DIR. Stanton's name, bat the usual
endorsements, "By order Of the Secretary
! cf War" He then sent request to have
the papers forwarded direct. He ha!
established General Thomas aS his S;ccre
tary or War ed interim al the WA;lt
House, SO far as to treat him in every re
spcct as the Secretary de jucto, though n
orders haze yet appeared as being issue
by lis authority. When they do, new
questions will arise, and one of the PrcSi
dents most fondly- cherished hopes is tina
be may catch General Grant IN q case Q
tisobedience OF orders.

ONE OF FoRSEY's BEST LIEs.-Ashamed
again to hunt up the Maryland militia as
an army to back Mr.. Johnson, Forney has
turned his attention to Virginia. Read
the following patent falsehood
"AosJy Rediuipus.-A somewhat start
ling rumor comes TO as from the northeast,
vru portion of Virginia. Residents in
Loudoun Valley aud vicinity allege that
Aosby, the notorious rebel bushwbacker
daring the war, is again marshaliing his
Clans TO aid Andrew Johnson in his usur-
pations. For some tine past these men
have been getting their arms in readiness
for some purpose, and have quite recently
become 50 obnoxious in their conduct that
the loyal people of that section are
alarmed, and ask protection from the Co.
veiHment, or authority to organize for
their own defence. Four hundred men
Lave already been assembled st one time,
aud ,heir leader boasts his ability to march
Into Washington with a thousand men
and wipe out Congress. Perhaps it is the
Intelligence Of &osby's preparations that
accounts for the increased confidence man
ilested by a. J. within the last few days"
This is mere pretext for supplying the
negroes with arms.
