During Mr.. Lincoln's administration,
when the Republicans wanted to get Mont
gomery Blair out Of the cabinet they pre-
sented to Mr.. Lincoln the following state
ment:
. The theory of our government, the
early and uniform practical construction
thereof, is, that the president should be
aided by cabinet council agreeing with
him in political principles and general pol
icy, and that all important measures and
appointments should be the result of their
combined wisdom and deliberation. This
most obvious and necessary condition of
things, without which no administration
can succeed, we and the public believe
does not exist, and therefore such seec-
tons and changes in its members should
be made as will secure to the country unity
of purpose and action IN all material and
essential respects, more especially in the
present crisis Of public affairs.
- The cabinet should be exclusively
composed of statesmen who are the cordial,
resolute, unwavering supporters of the
principles and purposes above mentioned" !"
This was signed by all the radical senat-
ors now in Congress. How many will
adhere to this position now? A dozen of
them voted for the Office tenure act which
is in direct violation of the above PROPOSE
ton. Such men are fine specimens to
decide upon the conduct of President
whom they elected and virtually instruct
ed to commit high crimes and misdemean-
ors."

For some time there have been floating

To VETERAN Within the mast
few years thousands of veteran soldiers
have placed their discharge papers in the
claims to the Government for bounty
which they were entitled to. Those who
have received answers, to say nothing Of
bounty, to their claims, are few and far
between. This naturally excitcs surprise,
and IN some cases causes suspicious to
arise on the part Of the veteran soldiers.
TO all of such we would say, if you find
the payment of your one hundred dollars
bounty unreasonably delayed, you can as
certain BY writing to Paymaster General
Price, if the money has been sent to the
claim agent Several cases have recently
occurred in which the claim agents have
been glak to pay principal and interest, it
being shown beyond doubt that they had
received the bounty several months before
and enjoyed its use up to The time of the
discovery, and there is no telling how long
it might have continued so had not the

the presence of womanhood, tae child's
body rapidly changed in all its parts, from
the condition of tender infancy to the full
ness of healthy girl Of eighteen. The
face alone remained unchanged-a full,
round, baby face, quite pretty in all its
features, with bright, sparkling, intelli-
gent eyes and rosy checks.
This wonder has attracted the attention
of many Of the physicians of the city, sew
eral Of whom have obtained photographs
of her. The child walks, talks, and eats
like other children Of its age. It is quite

ga Party Necessity

"A leauihS republican organ, the AIDany
Erening Journal, has the scanda!ous frank
ness to hound on the Senate to condemn
the President as party necessity! The
House having impeachcd him, he must be
convicted whether or no." to save the
party from diagrace. We quote this un.
blushing disclosure which should make
the blood Of honest men tingle in their
veins:
The Washington correspondents endeav-
or to create the impression that there is
weakening of the Senatorial vertebrn,
from fear that the people will not sustain
impeachment We do not believe that
any such cowardly spirit prevails. But If
it does, let the trembling souls contemplate
the alternative, as presented by the Union,
that the malicious prosecutors in the
House of Representatives will be the ones
aimed at in the Presidential canvass. And
with reasons, to. If the republican men,
berS of Congress unanimously impeach
the President, and a Republican Senate
acquit him of the charge, the fact furnish
es the Democracy Il most available argu-
ment in proving either the incompetency
of the House, or Senate, or both The
Ruhicon is passed. There is no salvation
in retreat. Forward is victory. Retreat
is disaster. "A demoraized army, with a
harassing enemy on its fanks and rear,
will be the result. Onward, then.
''The Rubicon is passed Senate
must convict the President, not because
he is guilty, but because the House has
impeached him. Retreat (they are told !,
after having gone so far, is ruin, and the
party must not be ruined 1.-The Rubi-
con is passed conviction being a party
necessity. the trial will be a solemn mock
