A Washington telegram says Mr. Johnson is
scwcd up; Butler is still bottled up; Grant is
politically used up Staunton is stuffed up
and the country, consttutionally speaking, gone
up. AS the correspondent says nothing of
Greeley, the inference may be drawn that he is
going down 'bclow"
In the British army, it is stated, two-fifths
of the soldiers arc skilled workmcn, and it is
proposed that each regiment shall have I'M off
Ger of industry, and that the men shall be al
lowed to earn something in tho time not re-
quircd for military duty.
The most startling proposition of the week
is made bya Northern papcr--to restore all the
plate, pianos, jewolry cto., stolen from South
crn families on private account during the la,e
war, MS beginning point for reconciliation aud
permanent reconstruction. 1t is said to have
created an unparalleled sensation throughout

The CONVENTION TAx-Gcneral Candy

assessments the tax levied by the Convention
for the purpose of paying the per diem and
contingent expenses of that body The Trcas-

soldiers of the late Confc1cracy with artificial
arms and lees. He opened an Office in this
city, and up to tho present time has supplied
ono hundred and seventy artificial legs.
He now, however, finds himself compelled
to suspend operations, bcc,uscuaab!c to
negotiate the State bills receivable. The
convention has flooded tic market with
this commodity, and thereby doing serious

TIE Inisn LAND EsrloN.-The land
question in Ireland is the main source from
which spring most OF the evils which af1iict
that country, yet Lord Stanley had sen,i-offi-
cially declared that the land question will not
receive the attention of the government. To
compel men to support religion which they
do not believe, and build churches into which
they never 60 is an intolerance that admits Of
but little palliaton, but the land question is
grievance Of the most intolernbIe kind Par
lament has clothed the Irish landlords with
absolute power over the iurms of their tonantry
Tho lanllord fixes the amount of rcnt, and
places it at so high figure that it is only by
the hardest toll that the tenant is enabled to
meet it, Should there be bad season and di-
minishcd crops the tenant must take the poor
house or the cngrant ship. At any moment
he may be turned from his holding. He is at
the mercy Of tho landlord or his agent, and is
not entitled when cjcctcd, to receive one cent
for the improvements which by the cxpendi-
ture Of capital and years of hard work he may
have made upon it. 1t is then surprising that
the Irish will not pay Their ronts, or that Fen
auism will not be suppressed = Charleston
