The New Governor General, Sir John
Young.

Ahe new GoVerhSr.Generai, Sir John
Young.
Sir John Young, Bart, present Governor
General OF New South Wales and ex.Ionian
Commissioner, has been named for Governor
Sir John Young is the eldest son and heir of
the late Sir William Young, of Balleborough
Castle, in the county of Cavan, Ireland. His
father was prominent member OF the East India
Sir William offered himself as candidate for the
representation of Cavan in Parliament, but was
defeated, his political opinions, not agreeing
exactly with those Of the Earl of
tenanrty, the chief interest at the elec.
tions in that district. After a few
years MIR. John Young the newly-appointed
himself as a candidate to the voters of Cavan,
and was returned to represent them in the
House of Commons in conjunction with MIR.
Henry Maxwell, who succeeded to the Farnham
peerage, and has Just lost his life by the melan-
choly disaster by fire in the Irish mail train
travelling through Wales for London. Mr..
Young-now Sir John Young, after the decease
OF his father-soon obtained the notice ofParlia-
ment both by his diligent attention to his duties
and his sound practical knowledge on all mat
ters relating to Ireland. The late Sir Robert
Peel at once noticed his availability for public
with his party of moderate conservatives,
anxious to do justice to Ireland without repeal
of the legislative union. Under Peel's Premier
ship Sir John Young held the Office of Joint
Secretary ofthe Treasury OF England, in which
he distinguished himself by his application to
business, hls judicious use of the official patron
age confded to him, aud his freedom from rell-
gious and political preiudices.
Sir John comes OF an old Scotch family, hav-
ing its origin with John Young, burgess of
Edinburgh" in the year l54l. The Governor of
Canada was born on the 3lst of August, 1907,
and married April g. 1885, Adelaide. Auuabella,
daughter of the late Marchioness OF Headfort,
by her first husband, Edward Tuite Dalton His
family is thus intimately connected with the
Countess of Cavan, Meath, and Westmeath, in
Ireland. During the years Immediately past
Sir John Young has ruled the colony of New
South Wales in very successful manner in the
name of Queen Victoria, and is likely from his
habits discrimination, caution, and experience,
but particularly from his accurate appreciation
OF the Irish charact, +, to prove equally useful
to the English crown in Canada.

represent the letter aud the spirit of my speech
Personally he is my friend-Gnd have always
regarded him as q hight toned gentleman and
connot see how he could make such repre-

only full report of any OF my campaign speeches

OF construction be made TO mean what your

him him he was misiaken In his strategy-and that

Some OF these allegations are true; some, we
think, are altogether mistaken.
1t rs mistake to say that General Sherman
wrote out and rendered his resignation because
he did not approve Grants plan of attacking
river. de did not approve OF the plan, but he
told Grant that he should execute any part of it
that might be assigned to him just as zealously
as though 1t were his own scheme; and SO ne did.
We believe, also, it is mistake 10 say that
Mr.. Lincoln wrote d letter 10 General Grant
condemnlng his strategy. Like General Sher-
man., Mr.. Lincoln thought another mode of
attack preferable, but did not attempt TO pre-
vent Grant from adopting his own. After 1t
was all over, Mr.. Lincoln wIote Grant letter to
apologize FOR what he had thought. That was
the only letter he ever wrote on that subject.
The paper which was returDed TO General
sherman after the fall of Vlcksburg was not his
RESIGNATION, but simple argument of his

I'VE Extenuates HIS Recept Failures.

Mr.. Edward Payson Weston explains his re-
cent failures thus;-"After six fair trials l am
convinced that walking Hron a circular track is
not only against my nature, but unnatural to
either man or horse. Until my last trial
attributed Dy previous failures to every cause
but the right one, aud it was only by accident
that learned that it was the continued walking
round the circle that caused the dizziness in my
head and the nauseating feeling in the stomach,
besides the feeling Of intense drowsiness that
could not account for. / can only describe the
feeling as such as one feels when inhaling ether,
with the single exception of severe pain in the
stomach.
"a rest of twenty or thirty minutes will entirely
relieve the system, but after the first attack
find myself unable to go bat one or two miles
without experiencing the same feeling, and CON-
PEELED to stop for treatment. Again, when
walking on the track, have been unable to eat
substantial food; and what is more convincing
proof that 1t is unnatural for me, is, that when
walking on the highway have always ate most
heartily, and have never been troubled with
any dizziness in the head or disorder of the
stomach. Food alone gives the strength to walk
naturally, and when you cannot eat you are

Torture of Republicans in the Wilson
County Jail,

The Raleigh IN. C.) Standard of the 10th con-
tains the folio wing:-
Robert Hiliard Farmer and Haywood White,
colored Republicans, were imprisoned on pro-
badly fictitious charges. Eleven men were
crowded into a low dungeon seven feet square.
There was no windoW in the dungeon, and the
door, was OF bars Sc. closely laid that a man
could not put his finger through the vacant
spaces between. During the hot and sulry
summer, these poor creatures were jammed
together in this bole and at night were COM
for there was not space tor them to occupy
singly. There was plenty other room in the
jail, but ONail', the jailor, declared his inten-
tion ofputtiDg eleven more men in If they had to
stand on one anothers heads, because, as he
alleged, they. we're id black radicals, and
ought to be killed, aud he wished be had all the
id radicals in there with them. The offer was
made to Haywood White by Captain Lusk, that
be would release him from Jail II he would take
an oath to join the conservative party. White
was suffering horrible torture, but replied that
he had already sworn to support the COnstitu-
tion and the Union, and could not violate his
oath. Captain Lusk also promised Farmer that
If he would "go with him" Democrat), and
induce other colored men to do so, he would let
him out of jail as quick as he could snap his
finger. Lusk also told him that If he got out of
Jail without turning over" (he was strong
Republican, he would be killed before night.
Finding it impossible to seduce either Farmer
or White, or any of the rest of the prisoners the
course of torture was determined on-torture
which has for centuries been abolished from
the prisons of England. The first place to
apply it was in the diet. Twice day small
piece of picked pork, fried 10 crisp, and little
else than solid salt, and weighing less than an
ounce, was served to these famisbed creatures.
This produced thirst, and the jailor, carrying
out the instructions of his fend-heart Rebel
patrons, cut off the supply of water, to guam
tty barely sufficient to support life. When the
prisoners IN an agony OF thirst would cry outfor
Gods sake to give them water, the brutal re-
sponse from the jaior would be- "Come down
and get it," One day Joe King, kind of under.
jailor, was cursing and abusing radicals, when
were as good as other people, whereupon KING
struck him, Farmer, a detenseess prisoner, a
heavy blow on the side Of his jaw with the keys,
breaking his teeth. For some time GARNER could
not eat, and he was not even allo we'd to have
any thing to bandage his wound. Aud the brutal
coward who had inflicted this injury took occa-
sion afterwards to insult Farmer by asking him
how he felt.

Loyalty, like misery, makes strange bed

radical meeting in Philadelphia. 1t was most
respectable meeting, and OF all responsibilities
Philadelphisn respectability is the most respect

names are types in Philadelphia of virtue, and
decorum, and piety-men of whose virtue Phila-
delphia is proud, and who, perhaps, are proud

of their virtue. We should not name names in
such connection, had not one of the orators
of the evening, Senator Sherman, specifically
named names before US. He referred with de-
cent JUNCTION to the presence before him of three
such gentleman types, Mr.. George II. Stuart,
MIR. Jay Cooke, and MIR. Henry g. Carey, all of
them persons OF perfectly pure reputation all
of them men who, in normal times, would
shrink sensitively from vicious contact and two
OF them open professors OF religion. There were
present with these gentlemen sundry others,
ike them men OF exemplary and pious repute.
They sat on the platform together, they listened
to the speeches, and as one orator after another
haranPued the crowd and left the stand, they
applauded these orators in succession aud, ap-
plauding, also shook them cordially by the hand
