The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-02-28

Gen. Thomas has had but poor
luck in all his undertakings to day,
and the simple old soul is at home to-
night half sick. He came down town
about ten O'Clock this morning, less
boastful of what he was going to do
than on yesterday. He went first to
the White House, and had an hours
confab with the President. How the
great demagogue and his tool
condoled with each other there
was no ubiquitous reporter to tell.
The conversation must be inferred
from the fact that the General went
directly from the White House to the
War Department, and again demand
ed from the Secretary possession of
the Office. Mr.. Stanton of course
could not comply with his demand
The talk that followed was much like
that of Saturday On the same ques
ton, already reported, except that
one caught trifle more austerity in
Mr.. Stanton's tone, as if he had got
tired of that sort of thing. General
Thomas, after this unsatisfactory in
terview, returned to the White House,

THESE AUTUMN DAYS are among the
finest of the year. Cool nights. warm days,
sunshine mellowed by haze, atmosphere tenn
pered by mountain breeze, delightful for work
or recreation. The most hardy flowers bloom
despite the frost, and green and yellow leaves
are pleasingly intermingled. Harvest days,
freghted with good. Healthful, invigorating,
delightful. Here in the valley, surrounded
BY wind swept mountain ridges and arid
desert lands, amid brown hues, quiet reigns
and there is security and peace. Welcomed
BY all are these Autumn days.

THE CAMEL NUIsANCE.-Between this
city and Fort Churchill are residing couple
of Frenchmen, who own a herd of Is to 20
camels-yreat and smal-which they al
low to Craze on the travelled or north side OF
the river, to the endangering of the lives of
all who travel the road with either horse or
mule teams. 1t is well known that horses
and mules are always frightened at the APP
pearauce Of camels-mules in particular be-
come perfectly frantic with terror, and are
beyond all control if they come in sight of a
drove of camels. Last Saturday afternoon
Judge A, w. Baldwin and General Thomas
II. Williams, while on their way to Buck
lands Station, to hold their political dis
cussiop, came near losing their lives by
their team taking fright at the camels, at a
point where the road between the river and
the overhan9ing bluff is so harrow that two
teams cannot pass each other. Their team
ran away, and it was only bv the greatest
good fortune that they escaped being dashed
to pieces against the rocks on one hand, or
being precIpi,ated into the river on the
other.-E.terp,tse.

SHERIDAN ON GRANT.-Sheridan, whose
opinion Of Grant is certainly worth having,
wrote as follows to friend lately:
1t is, perhaps, needless for me to tell You
how light my heart is on account OF the glo-
Iious record in front Of which General Grant
now stands before the country.
The country now begins to appreciate that
his was the only hand which patted me on
the shoulder and gave me encouragement
when l, almost alone, stuck up my little bat
tle-fag at New Orleans to assist a second
time in saving the country and preserving the
record of our soldiers. Had Grant, Sherman
and myself and others gone over to the enemy
much darkness would have come upon the
land.
Two solutions were necessary for the settle
ment of the rebellion. The first was to take
away from it its military strength. That was
done At Appomattox. The second, to take
away its political strength. That will be done
next November. 1t will be = short campaign,
but Is decisive a. APPomattox.

RorBUCX-The New York Frenjng Post
has the following handsome notice of the no.
torious Roebuck:
Some Of the journals here speak harshly
Of Mr.. Reverdy Johnson because he has been
civil and polite to Mr.. Roebuck. But Mr..
Johnson does right. He remembers how, a
few years ago, Roebuck, then a notorious
Liberal. went to Vienna, was kindly enter
tanned by the Austrian nobility, invited to
their homes, and came back to England a VIC
lent Tory and reactionist. Mr.. johnson is
irving the same method with Roebuck now
and it would not surprise us at all to hear OF
that person presently as the ardent friend of
America. OF course it is not agreeable to a
gentleman, like Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, to have
dealings with person like Roebuck-but cur
Minister in England has a duty to perform,
and will doubtless do it at any sacrifice
And after all it does not cost much to yie-d
the road to polecat.

second resolution was then adopted.
Mr.. Gladstone then moved the pas
