1t would seem that, as Commander of
the Department of Gesrgis, Gen. Meade
conducted affairs in such manner as
TO secure the esteem and regard of all,
irrespective of party. In leaving, to
resume command of his former depart
msnt, with headquarters at Philadel-
phic, the Atlanta Era says: He carries
with him the sympathy and gratitude
OF the loyal people of Georgia, and the
best wishes of our entire community.
His relations with the people of Atlanta
have been especially pleasant and
agreeable; and in social life, no less
than in the discharge of the delicate
functions of their office, have General
Meade and his staff Won the respect and
confidence of this entire community.
Personally, he and the members OF his
staff, have our warmest sympsthies; aud
in common with Others, we shall often
revert to their sojourn in our midst as
. season of agreeableness and pleasure"

Our townsman, H. Spengler, says the
jackson (Miss.) Clarion, having in
France patrimony which he wished to
realize, made TO Rev. Paul Huber a
power of attorney to receive the fund in
France. 1t was duly authenticated,
aud the certificate under the great seal
of Mississippi, was signed, "Adelbert
Ames, Brevet Major General United
States Army, Provisional Governor of
Mississippi" The document was pre-
sented by Father Huber to the French
Consul at New Orleans. After having
partly written his consular certificate,
he observed the above signature to the
Governors certificate, and refusing to
recognize the Provisional Governor, he
declined to give his official certificate.
The consequence of this refusal by the
officials of European Governments to
recognize our military Governor is, that
it is impossible to authenticate such
as are to be used there. The
defect cannot be remedied, and Father
Huber's visit and the object of it are
defeated.

THE CHINESE.
How They Talk About Them in Cali
foFnia


From the San Francisco Herald, February % J
There is q growing feeling of indigns-
tion In this community at the utter dis
regard, not only of decency, but of all
our laws, recently exhibited by the
Chinese. 1t Is horrible to reflect that
peiiticians are pursuing course that
renders 1T even possible for these crea-
lures to obtain share in our govern"
ment-perhaps controlling interest In
our elections. For long time past
they have exhibited o peaceful, almost
Submissive, spirit, rarely committing
any graver offence than pilfering ex-
posed trihes; but suddenly they have
changed their conduct, and for months
past the courts have been hardened
with investigations of their crimes-ln-
vestigations that come to naughs, for
these people have no regard for the
sanctity of an oath, and perJure them
selves by Wholesale. They have intro
duced into our Christian city all the
fbarbaEous practices of their native land
--tEey do not hesitate to hatch conspir-
acies, abduct and assassinate, and,
what is worse, they employ an or
gauized gang of bravOs to slay their
enemies or rivals, and guage the reward
according to the punishment that may
be inflicted upon them. A Chinaman
can be paid to assassinate, even with
the death penalty staring him IN the
face, and can coolly stipulate for the
price of his neck to be paid to his rela-
tives in case he is hung.
AlthOugha cOwardly race, when pitted
man against man in mortal fight, yet do
they display the most extraordinary
stolidity and indifference when execu-
tiOn is about to be done upon them. In
their own country line of so criminals,
condemned to be decapitated, will sink
upon their knees without coercion, bend
their heads forward so as to expose their
neCks, and stOically await the stroke of
the executoner's sword. They hear the
dull, heavy thud at one end of the line,
and see the CHASTITY head roll upon the
pavement, without shudder. Some
times the executioner stops midway in
the line to sharpen his sword-they
listen without tremOr, and as he ap-
proaches them closely and their turn
comes next, they adjust their necks
more conveniently for the stroke.
There is nothing about this of the spirit
that sometimes actuates a Caucasian
criminal to "die game"-it is simply
british stolidity. Creatures like these
once reused to the commission of crime
are eminently dangerous in communi-
ty, for the death that threatens them
from the law has no terrors to restrain
them. 1t is said they have carried their
harbarOls practices TO such an extent in
this city as to offer large rewards for
the heads OF. their enemies. What can
be done with such people, They are
sodlless, conscen celess, devilish. Their
vile passions, long kept in restraint
from submission to the moral influence
of the white man, are now breaking
forth in barbaric fury-they openly defy
our laws, and with brazen insolence in
suit our civilization. Let us exhaust all
the resources Of law to restrain them,
and if they fail, let us advise them to
return home.

The uou,.nud Lo, Ru.iuc-

At the close of the war, the friends
of General GEO. H. THOMAS made up
purse of a Hundred thousand dollars to
buy him house. Learning what they had
done, be thanked them, bat shrank from
the transaction. Some believe that this
was the reason why President GRANT
promoted General SHERIDAN over him.
GRANT doesn't think much ofany mans
sense who wouldn't take hop, skip and
a jump Mt the offer OF a house and lot.

that he sees rebuke of himself lurking

GENERAL BUTLER wants to make
haste slowly in regard to admitting the
Southern States to all their rights, be-
cause men have been taken out Of Jail
and hanged and shot in that section of
the Union. Has not the same thing
been done in Indiana; and if one State
should be kept out of the Union for
such occurrences, should not sister
Commonwealth be banished from the
national family for kindred offences
At least, let General BUTLER and his
friends be consistent in their inconsist

ARich YeIocipede Story.

The Hartford COurdRt says: "Profes
sor" Lockwood, so called, who has been
running a velocipede rink at Water
bury for few weeks past, and thereby
filing his pockets with filthy lucre, de-
termined on a grand winding up exhi-
bition on Saturday evening, which
should bring him more lucre and much
fame. So the professor got out fam
ing handbills, announcing that Miss
Clara Louisa Warren, the champion
Boston velecipedist, would appear on
her favorite bicycle, and on Friday sold
out his interest in the rink, retaining
possession till Saturday night On Sat
urday night the professor" shaved off
his noustache and iwhskers, took the
cars for Plainville, where he donned
female apparel, with waterfall and
panier, and returned to Water
bury in the evening, taking rooms
at the Adams House. The rink
was crowded with people to see the
female rider, and at the appointed time,
the charming Miss Warren made his ap-
pearance, attired in nobby suit, half
zou-Zou and half yivandiere. She rode
side saddle, and the crowd cheered; he
rode man-faShlOn, and the crowd cneereu
harder: she put one leg over the handle,
and the crowd were intoxicated with
cheering. "She rides mighty well" said
n man with black side whiskers. What
a splendid FORM squeaked tall, con-
sumptive-looking man with tlaxen hair.
"She's very good-loOking" roared a
taller, savage individual. And then
.bo,. oil cbaarad ouce more and every
body felt happy. Aztec the show con-
cluded she retired to the hotel, and at
midnight carriage came in haste and
bore him away from the scenes of her
late triumph. 1t was complete sell
and very we'll managed. The Professor,
nee Miss Warren, departed from Water
bury like a thief in the night, leaving a
large board bill unpaid, and taking with
him snug sum as the fruits of his de-
CeDtiOl,

The "Hread and Butter Brigade. -

New recruits are added to the "Bread
and Butter Brigade" at the rate of about
a thousand day. 1t is expected that
Mr.. GRANT will soon have all his rela-
tions comfortably provided for, and
then the grand army will move on.
Provisions being scarce at present, the
members Of "the Brigade" are becoming
restive, and exhibit a commendable de-
gree of anxiety to attack the enemy's
works.

The Cuban QuesIiOn.

Matters in relation to Cuba are get

nizing rebel Government in that Isl

cency, but for want Of the necessary
brains seem likely to perpetrate the
usual blunder in selecting the time for
recognition. This speedy extension of
sympathy toward the rebels of other
countries is deemed the proper thing
for GRANTS administration, being in
sweet accord with its policy toward reb-
els at home. The step is considered de-
sirable also as an illustration of Ameri-
can independence, the United States
claiming the right to give aid to insur-
rectionary movements in other coun-
tries and at the same time to quarrel
with any Government that may even ap,
pear to encourage similar movements
among the subjects of 1.-The best Govern,

whipu;ng in sehooIs-A Cnse nj Au-
Fora.

A case came mp in this city last Satur-
day before Squire Van Nortwlck and
six iurymen, involving the right Of cor
poreal punishment in our public schools,
as applied to Franklin Sperry by his
teacher, Miss Almira Hays. Messrs.
Garfield & Sherwin were for the defend
ant, and John D. Sperry, father OF the
boy, for the complainant. Miss Hays
rose, calm and deliberately, before the
immense audience, and stated her case.
The boy was disobedient. She hsd
used moral suasion until for
bearance ceased to be a virtue,
when finally she applied small whip
over his back, which irritated the boy,
ssd caused him to make sundry threats,
when she administered another dose over
his left arm, said arm being divested ofa
coat sieve. Then the boy was sworn,
and corroborated the statement of the
teacher, as also did several other boys.
Then the lawyers rose in cool, impasslon=
ed thunder tones, and poured forth their
Websterian eloquence for several hours
to the appreciative jury. :,
At this stage of the game things had
a profound cast, and it was evident
from the feelings of the audience and
the appearance of the jury that the boy
was going to be clicked" the second
time. All eyes were turned upon the
father, who, shocked at the dastardly
vandalism that would sweep "frOm this
country of liberty the sacred right of
freedom" demanded to know whether
"God made school. mans, or school
mans made God," or (Which made

and if nobody else would do
it he would. He illustrated
his arguments with the story of the
"man and BEAR" and NEGRO and SOW"
He said that if it had been man who
hogged his child he would take it out of
his hide; but as it was woman he
wouldn't. The boy could have whipped
the school nam, but he didn't, and he
honered him for it. He wouldn't touch
o woman himself unless he had legal
right to. He wanted the thing done
with "iudicion."
Here ended the case; the jury with
drew, and in five minutes retured with
the verdict mot guilty" which was re-
ceived with loud cheering by the audi
cnce.
