female friends. Kelley demonstrated
Pollock was inexorable; and as the
matter now stands, the singing and
praying members of Brother Stuart's

of the soldiers.
Captain D. A. Moore, of the Sixty
first New York Regiment, (who lost a
leg in the seven days fight before
Richmond, } has lost the Post Office at
Columbia, S. c., to which President
Grant has appointed G.. H. Wilder,
an ex-slavet who is scarcely able to
read or write. rt
Grant has removed from a small
land office in Greenville, Tenn, An
drew johnson, Jr., a son of the late
President. This act ofpetty spite to-
ward his predecessor-tlis absence of
magnanimity, which almost any other
person in the county woald have OBJ
served-is characteristic of the Presi-
dent. How poorly and meanly this
contrasts with the example of General
Taylor. When he became President
in1 1849 he found as on of his opponent,
Gen. Lewis Cass, the Minister of the
United States at Rome. Gen Taylor,
continued him there during his whole
term. He declared that he would
not be guilty of an act which might
appear indelicate. --aaes "a
Grant estimates the men of the army
no higher now than he did in the DAYS
of the Wilderness, when he spoke of
them contemporary as his s'cat's tail. +"
More soldiers have received offices from
Democrats and Conservatives in the
past two years than from the preten-
tious loyalists of the Radical factions.
The Radicals expended over one
hundred and seventy-seven thousand
dollars during the last session of Con
gress, in depriving men legally elected
Of seats in that body.
One of the Assistant Assessors OF
the counties of Cumberland, York and
Perry, has been removed, and a Mr..
Smyser appointed in his place. Mr..
Joseph Hughes soldier who fought
brayely in the late war, was an appli-
cant for the position, but his claims
were treated with contempt.
The nomination of Crow to be
Governor of New Mexico, gives great
dissatisfaction to the Republicans.
How's this? One would judge from
the name that the color ought to suit.
What cause for complaint has Crow
given. .-E -..- ~
The President removed General
McC Cartney from the office of Collector
of the Port of Boston, and appointed
newspaper editor of that city in his
place a man who never smelt gun
powder, except upon a civil oco sion,
and never, rendered the nation any
service. Gen. Mccartney participat-
ed in twenty-five of the principal bat
ties of the war, was badly wounded
twice, was mentioned in general or
ders for gallantry twice by General
Franklin, twice by General Sedgwick,
once by General Brooks-was men
toned by the rebel General Lee for
'tgreat gallantry and skilP' at the first
Fredericksburg fght-was compliment
ted for his prowess and gallantry by
the rebel General Barksdale at Salem
Heights-was mentioned in general
orders by Maj. Gen. Wright for gal
lantry at the battles of Winchester and
Fisher Hill, under Sheridan-in whose
battery Gems. Sedgwick and Russell
were klled-the former at "Spottsyl-
vania," and the latter at "Winches-
ter" and President Lincoln compli-
mented him as ttSayior of Washing

Capt. Silas A. Hudson, of Iowa
who goes to Guatemala-is cousin
of General Hudson, and was formerly
cattle driver in Oregon, knows a
great deal less of the English langu-
age than the law allows, served on
Grants staff the last two years Of the
war, is rough, plucky, Ignorant,
manly fellow, about as fit for foreign
mission as crewbar is for a canlbric
needle. Nobody but his cousin could
ever have invented the idea of APP
pointing him. AS he goes to a coun-
| try where the English language is not
spoken, an objection to his appoint
ment is partially nullifed, but in 9th
er respects he will certainly astonish
the Dons of Guatemala, He takes
the place of that elegant and cultiva-
ted gentleman, General Fitz Henry
Warren who reckons huency in the
Spanish language and familiarity with
the usages of polite society among his
accomplishments.
Senator Cameron says Pennsylvan-
la has credited to her a constitutional
drunkard for. a mission, and a consti-
tutional thief for consulate. Poor

A numBer of negroes called upon
the President lately and presented him
with congratulatory address. In ac-
knowledging the compliment, General
Grant said it made hin feel happy to
know that his administration met with
their approval.
I "A Newark paper says that Borie is
the real publisher and backer Of the
Imperialist newspaper, and that
Grant distributes copies among his
friends.
If General Grant thinks that none
who held office by Johnson's appoint
ment should be tolerated in any offici-.
al station, why doesn't he swallow his
