An Improper Appointments.

The following official announce
ment was pubfished yesterday:
'sGen. Dent, VINO is on duty at the
Executive Mansion, and who has been
holding the position of Aid-de-C Camp
to the Generai-in-C Chief, has been as
signed to the Second Regiment of Ar
fillery as aforementioned. The
rank he now holds is Lieutenant Col
onel of Infantry1
This tells anytAlng but the whole
truth. Gen. Dent was an officer of in
fantry, and has never been anything
else. InLthe recent consolidation his
regiment was suppressed. This left
him a supernumerary officer, and in
completing the reduction of the army,
according to lhe act of July I5, 1870,
he would necessarily have had to be
mustered out. To avoid this, the
President-his brother-in-laW = has
now assigned him to the Second Reg
Iment of Artillery. This gives him q
permanent place in the army at the
expense of deserving artillery officers,
who by this means are deprived OF the
promotion to which they are justly
entitled.
Probably there is not in the army
list q more worthless officer than
Dent. Nobody respects him, or en-
tertains any other feeling townard
him than good-natured contempt
He never has been of any use any
where. So low is his capacity that
the President, in organizing his mill
fary staff at the White HOuse-all
contrary to Iaw-has not deemed him
fit for any more important position
than that of head usher; and yet he
deliberately fastens him upon the ar
my, to the exclusion of brave compe-
tent, and high&minded men, who have
rendered the greatest services to the
country. The only apology for this
disgusting act is that Dent is the Pres
ident's own brother-in-law
5. Letns thank God that the country
has never before had President so
shameless as Gen. Grant Let as hope
that il may never have another to be
compared with, ,him.-Neso York Sun,
6RGdical.)

J MORA, Sprouts Of theNew peparture.

The Washington City Patriot notes
two recent incidents, which illustrate
the present moral condition of society
growing out of the war: "During
the trial of George Cahoon, ex-carpet-
bag Mayor of Richmond, Va, recent
tly convicted of forgery in that city,
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
four years, an incident occurred
which is probobly unparalleled in ju-
dicial history. Cahoon, it appears, is
United States Commissioner, and
when the case against him closed for
the day, he was iaken into custody
by the United States Marshal and con-
yeyed to his own Court, there to sit
in Judgment ON other offenders .
g At the close of his days work,
says the paper which records the fact,
g he was handed over by the Marshal
to be put in the lookup" The other
belodgs TO Mississippi, and is OF
dark complexion. We are told that
a negro was tried in Tunica county
of that State for hog stealing, and &C.
Quilted. He was immediately put on
another jury to try and acquit one Of
the negro jurors that tried and ac-
quilted him, charged with horse steal
| ing. So runs reconstruction, and SO
sprouts the new departure.

The Trial. of An Editor..

A cotemporary gives the following
vivid and truthful description of the
trials and perplexities of the country
newspaper editor: zs
Editing paper is very pleasant bus
mess.
If it contains too much political
matter the people won't have it.
If it contains too little they won't
have it.
If the type is large it don't contain
enough reading matter.
If the type is small they can't read
it. asI
If we publish telegraph reports,
folks say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, they say we have
no enterprise, or suppress them for
political effect. - so @
If we have few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but rattle head.
IF we omit jokes they say we are an
old fossil.
If we publish original matter they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, folks say
we are lazy for not writing more, and
giving eAOll w AidI bucy nave uOC E6aU
in some other paper.
If we give man a complimentary
notice we are centured fer being par
tial. .a4-.s ~
If we do not they say we are illib-
eral. {fsss i5Ia,fss.2 1it@ .i.@i"
If we insert an article which pleas
es the ladies, men become Jealous.
If we do not cater to their wishes,
the paper is not fit to have in the
house. ssA 55i< sisiA5 80
If we attend church they say it is
only for effect. '''l iii''-Ji.t}
If we do not, they denonnce us as
deceitful and wicked. ~ az g.
If weremain in our Office and attend
to business, folks say we are too proud
to mingle with our fellows. q
If we go cut they say we never at
tend to business. = g. 4'liA''I s+oa
If we do not pay all bills promptly,
folks say we are not to be trusted. .

EAGLE KKILLED.-Haryy Ti1ball shot
black eagle on his. farm two miles
east of town, on Monday, which
measured six feet six inches from tip
TO tip. In view of the fact that Mr..
Tidbail has been worshipping the
American Eagle for several years, We
getful as to kill it. A number of Rad
icals gathered about to inspect the
noble bird, who seemed exceedingly
rejoiced at its death. This, perhaps,
may be accounted for on the ground
that it was not pure black. tits lucky
for Mr.. Tidbail that there's no Freed

GENERAL Cox, of Ohio, has author
lied the Cincinnati Gazette to say
that the intimation, coming from what
ever source it may, that he favored the
issuing of patent to the New 1dria
Company, is unqualifiedly false; and
that he has never, by word, or act, or
in any way, expressed the intention
of favoring such issue. The pretense
of the President and his lackeys is,
that Cox favored the New Idria claim
in opposition to McGarrahan. The
New Y York Post narroMs down the
whole issue between Grant and Cox
to this single point: "Shall the clerks
and officers of the Government be
taxed by secret committees to support
political machinery. Grant says Yes.
Cox says No. And ON this issue they
go before the country"

avid Car ADvENTURE.-OH Tues
day of last week, wild cat entered
the house of John Kiser, who resides
in the woods, about ten miles north
west of this place, and took young
child from the cradle, and was about
to devour it, whom it was frightened
away. The parents had gone out to
gather in potatoes, from lot and left
the baby wrapped up, sleeping in its
cradle. A little girl was sent in after
they had been absent short time to
see about the child, and when she
opened the door, was horrified to see
large wild cat with the infant behind
the stove. The little thing was crying
piteously, and in short time would
have been killed and devoured by the
savage beast. On the alarm being
given the wild cat escaped through
the window, but has been seen in that
neighborhood Delphos Herald.

communicated to two small benzine
tanks about three rods up the creek,

of the employees connected with the
establishment, aided by four streams
of water worked by large pump

victory over the devouring element

that there was but small amount of

BUTLER & GRANT.-The telegraph
announces little unpleasantness be-
tween Ben. Butler and his royal high

speech in Boston on the subject of the
Alabama claims. His friends assert
that the speech was submitted to the
President before it was delivered, and
that he fully approved the ideas and
sentiments it expressed, and that now
since the expression of = decided pub

President backs down leaving Butler
to fight the battle alone. "Let us

CHoKED TO DEATH.-A few days
ago as Mr.. Noah Glessner, of this
township, was eating some beef, a
small piece stuck in his throat, choking
him and causing considerable pain.
A physician was summoned, the throat
cut open and the meat removed. Some
species of gathering followed by in
fiamation, ensued, which resulted in
his choking to death last Wednesday.
Mr.. Glessner was single man, about
fifty years of age; an honest, industri-

universally esteemed by all who knew
him.-NeU Lisbon Patriot.

CoNeREss.-The last session of the
4st Congress commenced on Monday.
The session will necessarily be short
one, as it expires by constitutional
limit on the 4th of March next, leav-
ing but term of three months, and
from week to ten days about the
holidays will probably be devoted to
a grand carnival by the members,
still there will be time enough for do
ing an immense amount of mischief.
There are score or more of land
grants to railroads and monopolists
lying over from the last session, and
the lobbyists will have busy time il
not rich harvest.
