Change OF Command :

$50 - & :. ~
nonarsl SLOVENIAN, by a, curt .ord,r from
Washington, was displaced from his posi-
tom "a commander of this district yester,
dav..and General ALEXANDER s. WEBB, OF
the United States army, succeeded him
General sroSExAN has discharged his duty
With tho sincerest desire to promote the
nesce and order Of the State, and he will
depart from this city with the best wishes
Of our people for his future welfare and
happiness. ,,,-
His successor General WEsBl arrived by
the morning train of yesterday. He is .
son OF Colonel JAMES WATSON WEBB, for
merly editor Of the New York Courier ana
Enquirer, and now Minister to Brazil. Ihe
General was q professor at West Point be-
fore tine war. He was Inspector. General OF
the Army of the Potomac, and chief OF stan
under General MEADE.
Further than this, and that he was twice
brevetted for gallantry during the war, we
can say nothing Of our new commander.
We are glad that he is 8 regular army Of
scer. We always feel trust in that class Of
ouders, while We dread your political
Conn., no regular officers have gov
Generals. ~ ~ were fair and we'll
erned this State. In. dyed the peo-
;ntentioned gentlemen, and J.-- ne in
ple Of Virginia correctly. They spv-
tho highest terms Of the order and decorum
that reigned through the State, and declared
that troops were entirely unnecessary 20
snsorcs the laws here. We are sure that
all intelligent and unprecedented men 'na'
,o,,o bare in m official character must ar
rive at the same conclusion.
General WEBB is only here temporarily.
He will fill the interim between the depar-
turs Of General sToNEMAN and the arrival
of General CANDY.
What we are to infer from the sudden
action with reference to General SLOVENIAN
we will not undertake to say. 1t has pro-
duced much depression in this long-tried
and suffering community. No man could
be more distasteful to them than General
WELLS; but they do not yet forget General
GRANTS text, "Let us have peace" and
still hope for measures consistent with It,
Therefore, they will continue to look for
ward along the weary road, assured that
they will reach the turn some day. In the
mean time they will endure and bear up
under their misfortune with fortitude be-
coming people who are the descendants
of the great men who made their state anu
country renowned.

General Wells.

This gentleman is playing q game which
will assuredly sooner or later bring him to
grief. 1t is not in the course Of human
events that o career 30 fraught with wick
edness shall 60 on to the end with uninter-
rupted success. He came to this State with
no commentators from the land where he
was best known that we have ever heard Of.
He was one of the political Generals Of the
war-those military officials whose most
signal services consisted in prosecuting help
less people and hectoring over those who
were 80 unfortunate as to fall into their
hands. In Alexandria he welded the
"brief authority" which is remembered
only for it's want Of humanity and for the
selfshness which has always been upper
most in his official conduct.
He came to Richmond an utter stranger,
and soon enveloped himself in a mysteri-
GUS relation to the causes in the United
States District Court, which mono could
imagine anything but corrupt. His next step
was into the Gubernatorial chair by military
appointment. Then commenced his afilia-
ton with the Richmond negre mob, of which
he had to that time kept entirely clear.
His first parley with the negroes immedi-
ately after he became Governor was sig
nalized by his revival Of the sympathies
with old JOHN BROWN, the murderer, who
came into this peaceful State to set on foot
war of fire and sword. As much as he
was distrusted, as suspicious as his career
in USDERwooD's court had been, the
people were amazed at the cold and brutal
device by which he sought to iDgratiate
himself in the good graces of the negroes
whom he had before studiously avoided.
That he should thus attempt to widen the
breach between the races in this State, and
jeopardizs the peace and welfare of the
whites who paid the taxes out Of which he
was to draw his salary, exhibited degree
Of wanton peridy which amazed and
shocked every ono.
His career as Governor has not been
marked by any single act that displayed
solicitude for the public welfare. He has
been but schemer-a Radical plotter.
With the clubs and the least respectable Of
his own clique he has been necessarily en-
gagged in engineering party matters with the
view to the monopoly Of all the Offices Of
the State by the "ring" OF which he was
the centre. Disabilities" he took under
his especial guidance. He confessed to the
Committee Of Reconstruction at Washing
ton the whole plan. A club Of three in
each county had to receive the applications
Of all men who desired to get rid of their
disabilities but no application Of an
oihce-holder would BIO entertained until he
disgorged himself Of the Office. The sin Of
ofaoe-holding could not be tolerated nv
these ofiice-hunting bandits. The applica-
!. ions that passed the county clubs were to
DC Carried up to the central executive
club OF this city, Of which the sainsed DIM
LEY Was secretary. Those poor fellow
VINO rem the gauntlet Of that unimnesoh.

General Grant and the Senate.

The upshot Of the war between the Exc
cutiye and the Senate is victory for the
Executive. 1t was not achieved by dl-
rect assault, but by the well-known "tlank
movement" followed by ultimate breach
in the senatorial line and by capitulation.
General GRANT has indeed received the
surrender of that body under very "sour
apple tree" as we predicted.
Our readers will find the bill and expla-
nation of it elsewhere. The President is
allowed to remove an officer by calling it a
suspension" and if the Senate don't like
the man appointed in his place, why let the
President appoint another How like DOG
BERRY's style Of exerting authority
"Dogberry: You shall comprehend all va
Erom men; you are to bid any man stand in
the Princes name.
"Watch How if he will not stand!
"Dogberry: Why, then, take no note OF
him but let him 60"
Senator TRUMEULL has certainly turned
out to be very respectable DoGBERRY.

Governor WELLS is the author of the vitu-
perative articles which have recently ap-
pearet. in the Journal of this city, inclu-
ding those aspersing the character of Gen
eral SLOVENIAN. We trust not. This covert
mode Of heaping opprobrium on a gallant
gentleman would even injure the reputa-

SUIT roe KISSING MONEY

A suit was tried at the late term of the
Circuit Court Of Grundy county some
what noyal in its features. The facts as
we gather them are something Of this
nature:
During tho war Mr.. Dugin, an old
and respected gentleman, residing in the
county, having, as the proceeds of years
Of toll and saving, a sum of money
amounting to several hundred dollars in
specie and greenbacks, and fearing the
fate of others who had suffered by
guerrillas, committed the same to his son,
Rev John Dugin and two of his grand
sons, to conceal it in some safe place until
the storm of the war should pass off.
No one seems to have known anything
in relation to the affair, except colored
woman, who in giving evidence in the
trial stated that she saw the three men
carry the money from the house as she
believed at the time, in basket covered
with corr as though they were going to
feed stock.
1t appears the money was hid in o
private and secure place not far oil. But
it was not long until it was discovered
that the gold and silver amounting to
some 500 or $500 was stolen, leaving
the greenbacks. And having the utmost
confidence in his children, to whom he
had committed the hiding of his money,
Mr.. Dugin never suspected them OF being
the thieves. But after his death, which
occurred a year or two ago, the admins
traitor instituted a suit against them fol-
the recovery of the missing funds. The
case was tried at a former term Of the
court last fall, when the jury found 0
verdict against the defendants, Mr.. John
Dugin and his two nephews. A new
trial was applied for and granted. We
believe the grounds upon which new
trial was asked for were that the jury
trying the casa was made up Of rebels,
and they being loyal men it was urged
that Justice was not done them.
When the case came up at the recent
term the defendants demanded jury o
loyaI men, enfranchised citizens-whict
they were entitled to by act of assem-
bly,. And the result was a verdict found
in favor of the defendants.-Mc MINI
