tive Congress had left to him, he ought
TO exercise IL literally. After further general
conversation the interview terminated, evidently
full OF hope. If not absolute confidence. The ex-
tract from the diary referred 70 by Mr. Merrick is
that in which Booth records this under date Of April
IA, 1866, the day OF the assasslnation:-"U Unt to-
day nothing thought Of sacrificing to our coun-
try's wrongs"
An Energetic OGiccr.
Some time during last fall, soon after Caleb Cush-
ing resigned his position as commissioner for the
codcation OF the Unilsd States laws the President
appointed during the recess Of the Senate Mr..
Simeon johnson to 1I the vacancy. Although he
has not yet been confirmed, Mr.. Johnson has drawn
since his appointment his salary or 500 week

OF the commissioners has never seen him ana does
not even know him.
Redistribution OF National Bank Circulation.
II. X. Hulburd, Comptroller OF the Currency, was
before the Committee on Banking and Currency to-
day In relation to q redistribution OF the national
bank circulation. Aprcssure has been brought to
bear upon the committee from he West and South,
where, II is alleged, there is scarcity Of cur
rency while 1t is plethorc in the Eastern States.
The circulation which fixed before the national
banks were established in the Southern States, is
not equal under the new order OF things, ana it will
require some further legislation to remedy the mat
ter The committee discussed the subject, but have
come to no determination thereon.
Reduction Of the Army.
General w. $. Hancock was before the House Mill
tary Committee to-day relative to the proposed re-
duction or certain grades OF officers in the army
General Hancock gave 1t his opinion that the re-

vice.

able feeling toward McGarrahan. The impression to-
night is that If the Is taken up tomorrow it
WIN be considered and decision in favor Of
McGarrahan rendered.
Personal,
General John Cochrane and Judge Pierrep0nt, OF
New York, rived here to-day. The latter Is now

That's What's the Matter.

When an editor, without prOvoca
ton, sinks the gentleman, bandies
unmannerly epithets, and then as
serts that it is hard for him to de
scend so low, andr that it is mot his
STYLE it demands greater exercise
of charity than We possess, to believe
him, that's all Courier.
1t has been said that STOOLS will
rush in where angels fear to tread,''
and when San editor, without provo
cation,'' and for the sake of q little
patronage, endeavors to place us in
false position, we wish him to un-
derstand that it is a two-handed
game. We seek no personal contro-
versies, as we do not think them
either edifying or instructive to our
readers. In this instance we were
not the aggressor, but when placed
in a false position, retaliated by
"throwing mud.' If our neighbor
will be sure he is right, before 60
ing ahead, he may avoid the repeti-
ton of wrong and injustice.
"Charity covers a multitude OF
sins" and should command high
price in these degenerate days, but
the stock possessed by our neighbOr
will never make him wealthy, il last
weeks innuendo is a specimen
brick"

Something Extra for Boys and Girl

Something Extra for Boys and Girls.
1t is well known that THE Little
Corporal, the brilliant Western Juve-
nile, has larger circulation than
any other Juvenile Magazie in the
world. This has been gained by real
merit and enterprise.
The Publishers are endeavoring
to double their immense circulation
this year, and have determined to
send their Magazine free for three
naOnths-January, February and
March numbers of ls69-FREE to
every family who will send their ad-
dress before the first OF May, with
four cents in stamps for return post
age. These are intended as samples
to those who are not now taking
the Magazine in its new, enlarged
form. Address ALFRED L. SEwELL

Union School Exhibition.

Quite a crowded house was In
attendance at the exhibition al
Columbia Hall, last Wednesday
evening The exercises were well
conducted throughout, and gave evi
dence that the interests of our schools
are entrusted to safe hands. We
were much pleased with the ESSAYS,
and especially with that of Miss
Emma Brown, in which she made a
sensible appeal in behalf of her sex
for the right of suffrage. Perhaps
our sympathy with the position taken
by the 6riter, may have somewhat
biased our judgment, but we think
not. The Negative WAS very well
handled by Mr.. j ID. Flenner. The
Essays by Miss Mollie Adams and
Miss Goodwin were very well written
and as well delivered. The sing
ing by the little folks, as well as that
by those of larger growth, was very
fine. The Banjo and Bones perform
ance, by Master Willie and Miss
Emma Gray, appeared to be highly
by the audience, as was
also the Charade, which was particu-
Iarly deserving OF praise. Every
part of the performance showed
careful cultivation and study, and
appeared to be well appreciated by
the audience. We should like very
much to see the performance repeat
ed, as we have seldom enjoyed our
selves better.

An Ancient Manuscript.


1 Dr.. D. Ii. Pugh, of this place
formerly in command of Compan,
in the 9th Cclored Regiment. had
the kindness 10 submit for our in
spection this week, the following
manuscript, which he retains as 8
souvenir of his army life. 1t was
picked up in the streets of Prince
George c. H., few days before the
celebrated "mine explosion" in front
OF Petersburg. 1t will be seen that

through the paper in many places,

UnrulY Bows.

Our neigbber OF the CCurter, in
few sensible, well timed remarks
pays his respects to a class OF boy
who infesJ our places of amusemen
and annoy those who are in attendanc
1t is growing as well as disgust
ing nuisance, and, for the sake of the
good name of our place, should be
speedily abated. We do not know
that our place is worse in this
respect than neighboring towns of
he same size, but we do know tha,
more license and latitude is allowed
hese young disturbers of the public
peace. Where are our police-that
these boys are not summarily elected?
Another very pertinent question
that suggests itself right here, is !:
Do the parents of these boys know
that they are out? No parents, who
have any respect for the rights of
others, will permit their children to
visit such places, without accompa-
nying them, or having some guaran-
ty that they will behave properly.
And while on this subject, we would
say that we have heard of fast young
men, from abroad, seating them
selves at such places, in such man
ner that refined ladies were eOmpell-
ed to sit in silence, and hear coarse
and indelicate remarks,
Or surrender their seats. We have
heard of such things right here in
and we have thought that it
vas not very creditable to our party,
Who have the po%er to remedy this
natter. We do not know exactly
Who is to blame in the premises, but
Ve comment the more freely on this
ubiect at the present time, as an
election soon takes place, and it will
'e within the power of the people to
'rotect themselves from such out
ages. We know that some of our
flicials are ever on the alert to do
heir whole duty, without tear or
avor, but we fear that those upon
Vhom devolves directly this duty of
eeing that order is kept at our ,
'ublic meetings have been sadly ,

The chet danger from Dyspepsia
is that the reduced strength of the
system may disable it from surmomt.
ing other intercurrent diseases. Sym.
pathetic diseases OF the liver and lungs
often have their origin in Dyspepsia,
and may become organic diseases and
constitute not only source of incon-
venience but danger. Hence the soon
ell treatment is commenced after the
the first symptoms of Dyspepsia are
manifest, with more certainty can the
disease be expelled Do not delay to
seek advice from unwarranted sources,
but procure Roback's Blood Pills,
take them in small doses to stimulate
the stomach and intestines. and gently
act upon the liver Then take Ro-

ter each meal to tone the stomach and
assist the digestive apparatus, and you
will find the relief will be almost i'm

that, in cutting ire-wood, he felled

about Is and II inches respectively
At the hight of 354 and 50 feet from

perfect top-so firmly united in
