The Hon. JESSE r.. GRANT, the Presidents

The Hon. JESSE II. GRANT, the Presidents
father, is Postmaster of Coviugton, KY, hav-
ing lately been confirmed to that Office by the APP
preciative Senate. lie was originally appointed
by President Johnson on the request Of Gen.
GIANT, and at the same time the salary Of the
Office was raised from 800 to $500 a year.
As Father GRASr-as the Cincinnati papers call
hm--by moving the Post Office from Madison
street 10 Scott street, gets the rent from the
owner Of the building 10 consideration Of the adj
vantage to the property Of having the Post Office
on the premises and as portions OF the building
appropriated to the old gentleman's use are rent
ed out by him for news stands, apple stands, and
the like, il is believed that he has succeeded in
raising the value OF the office 10 its incumbent
materially. lie is probably the most inefficient
Postmaster in the country, and is kept in Office
against the strongly expressed wishes Of a great
majority Of the citizens of Covington, Of oil
shades Of political opinion.
Father GRASr's last exploit in the matter OF
serving his friends with the powers that be. oc-
Cured in the case Of one s. s. NEWMAN Of Co.
vington, who had been convicted Of issuing and
using counterfeit tobacco stamps, and sentenced
to pay a fine of $4,000 and to stand imprisoned
until the fine should be paid. Father GnANr
posted TO Wa hingion in NBwNAS's behalf, aud
shortly returned jubilant, with the promise, so it
is generally believed, Of NEwxAS's pardon. But
such strong representations were sent to the
Government US TO the effect on the collection Of
the revenue If so respectable culprit should be
pardoned, that the expected release did not
come, and Mr. NEWMAN at the last accounts was
still employinn himself in playinv euchre with
his jailer.
1t Is generally believed in Cincinnati and
Covington that Father GRANr Ia in constant cor
rcsTondence with the Administration, and ex-
erts powerful influence upon its policy.

VIII II Hurt Rig ski

The foes of the Hon. w. NJ. TwEEp-and
they seem TO be many-are chucklng over
the passage of the Excise bill in the Legisla-
ture with the clause prohibiting the sale Of
wbiskey and lager on Sunday. It lie sup
posed that this prohibitory clause will hurt
Mr. T. as a politician and candidate, be-
cause II is not what he had promised US.
Liberty was his watchword we were 10
have the right to buy the means Of getting
drunk on Sundays as well as other days
and now our liberty is diminished by this
odious law, and Mr.. TWEED is responsible
for its passage.
All this lie true, but those who suppose
that this little discrepancy between the
promise and the law will hurt the Grand
Sachcm are deluded by their hopes. Let
them understand that the prohibition 10 sell
on Sunday is mere prctence II is strong in
the letter OF the statute; 1t is nothing at all
in fact. There is no ndy Of trecuting tic pro.
hiJition. The old fnnatical Excise law,
which Mr.. T. c. AoToS used TO enforce with
severity, but which has fallen into dIsuse
since his day, made selling on Sunday n mis-
demeanor and the seller was at once nabbed
by the police and put in prison, and his
license was broken. That was rough way
of dealing with the sellers and II stopped
the business pretty efectually.
But this new law of Mr.. TwEED's has no
such Objectionable feature. 1t forbids sell
ing on Sunday, il is true, but that is only
for tho Ian.Gt of tho country luun,l ina who
have some respect for the sacredness Of the
Sabbath But those who violate Il are safe
from all danger on that account. They can
not be dragged of TO the station house and
prevented from attending church-all such
pous people go to church-because they
are caught selling on Sunday. All that can
be done with them under Boss TwEED's
prohibitory law IL to make a complaint be-
fore a magistrate have an examination, nm
indictment by the Grand Jury, and then a
trial perhaps, followed by what is called a
suspension of judgment, and 80 on. This is
what we had under the old law, when no
| complaint was ever prosecuted. and no Of
fender ever punished except by being re
quired to be very lively in somebody's favor
| at election time.
| All this is of course the mercst farce in
the world. The law will have no effect on
Sunday liquor selling. In fact, it is not in.
tended TO have any. Business will flourish
under it, and Boss TwEEDs friends will
prosper That is why it will do no harm to
the prospects Of that rising statesman.

The freedmen of the Choctaw and Chicka.

The freedmen Of the Choctaw and Chicka.
saw Indians arc pettioning Congress for
redress Of the grievances 10 which they are
subjected by their late masters. by the
treaty made at Fort Smith in September, 1865, it
was stipulated that they should have forty acres
Of land each, or, In case they should remove
from the limits Of the Indian nation, one hundred
dollars each. This stipulation has not yet been
carried out and the efforts Of the colored people
10 procure its enforcement have been resisted
with violence by the Indians. They had called
convention, 70 be held at Armstrong Academy
in December, 1869 but the Indians having taken
alarm at the claims set up by their former slaves,
sent out parties to tear down posters stuck up 10
call the convention, and throughout the country
told the negroes that II was against the laws Of
the United States and their own country for them
TO hold conventions, and that any one venturing
upon IL would be killed. The intimidation prac-
fused was complete, and no convention was held.
Nay, more than this, leading colored man from
the eastern portion Of the Territory, on his way
TO attend the convention, was arrested by depu-
ty United States marshal, at the instance Of the
United States agent, and kept in custody until
the appointed time was past The Choctaws
and Chickasaws were all sympathizcrs with the
rebellion, and their hatred Of the freedmen is at
tributed to the remains Of this feeling.

OBITUARY.
General Marquis de Ia woestIne.


This distinguished soldier died recently in
Paris at the Hotel des lnvaides, of which he
was the Governor. Descended from q promi-
nent Flemish family, he was born in 1856, and
upon the occasion of his baptism had for god
father no less parsonage than the Duke of Or
leans, afterwards better known as King Louis
Philippe. He was educated by Count de Co.
bentzel, his uncle, who in 1901 introduced the
Marquis to Joseph Bonaparte. His admiration
for the French influenced him to remain in
France and become naturalized citizen, and
having attracted the notice of Napoleon, he was
first sent to the Ecole Militare, and afterwards
commissioned a sous-lieutenant of Dragons.
In the celebrated battles of Friedland and
Jena he behaved with such distinguished gall
lantry as to win promotion. subsequently he
was ordered to Spain, serving under Sebastiani
and receiving dangerous wound at Almonacid.
He remained on the peninsula until mis- command
was ordered to Join the grand army which in
Vaded Russia. De la Woestine participated in
the terrible advance and retreat of the French.
At Leipsic his gallantry was so conspicuous as
to attract the personal notice of the Emperor,
who decorated him with the Cross of the Legion
of Honor and gave him the rank of colonel.
After the abdication he refused to serve tAe
Bourbons and retired to private life, but upon
Napoleons return from Elba De la Woestine
promptly Joined him. and at the battle of
Waterloo commanded the Sd Regiment of Chas-
seurs. The BourbCns being again restored to
the throne, he went to Belgium, where he lived
several years engaged in the business of wine
merchant. By the July revolution, however,
he was enabled to return to France and to re-
sumo his profession as a soldier. Louis Philippe
appointed him Marechal-de-Ca Camp, holding which
rank he commanded brigade of light cavalry
during the campaign in Belgium in 1882. The
Marquis was made general of division in 1S41
but after the revolution of 1S4S was retired on
half-pay, the provisional government being
suspicious of his loyalty to the republic.
AS soon as Louis Napoleon became President
General de la Woestne was restored to active
service. After the dismissal of General Perrot
in 1852 he was appointed to command the
National Guards in Paris 1t will be remem-
bered how effectually the General prevented the
drummers from sounding the alarm on the
famous day of the coup detdt by previously
sending all the drums of the National Guards to
Vincennes to be repaired" When Louis Ma
poleon became Emperor, De la Woestine was
created Senator of France and in 1868 was
appointed Governor of the Inyalides to succeed
the late Marshal d'Ornano.

THE BLACK VEIL.
IpterestJnR Ceremony In an UrsuIine Convent
-RenOunciDG the World.


The solemn ceremony of the last profession
and taking the black veil by two choir novices
was witnessed in the Ursuline Convent in East
Morrisania, New York, on Sunday morning by
the relatives and friends of the youthful candi-
dates. The names of those who have thus
separated themselves for life from the outer
world and its pomps and vanities are Miss Har-
riet Leonard, now Sister Mary Seraphine jose
phine, of the Five Wounds, aud Miss Fanny
Hart now Sister Mary Bapistree Josephine, of
the Holy Family.
The ceremony was begun by the entrance of
the procession at the hour appointed. The
pupils of the school, in dark dresses of brown
or blue, and yelled with white lace, came first;
next the novices, dressed in the black habits of
the order with white wells over their hoods and
capes and carrying a cruci6X in the right
hand, and burning taper in the Left then the
professed Sisters of the community, leading the
Young candidates. robed and yelled in black:
and lastly the Mother Superior. The candidates
for profession then seated themselves in front of
the altar.
their hands were placed on a narrow table in
front of them, covered with crimson velvet.
The candles arranged in triple groups, on the
altar, cleaning against the white and gilded
tracery of the screen and tabernacle. the yelled
figures of a large number of pupils and thirty
or forty black-robed nuns and novices, the
motionless figures of the candidates in the aisles
and the conventional dress of the congregation,
made a most striking and beautiful tabeau.
the acoytes and clergymen appeared. They
entered in full ecclesiastical dress to the sound
of music from the gallery and the mass began
with the "Venj Creator SpirituS," sung by
female voices.
Immediately after the Mass the novices, after
kneeling in front of the altar in silent prayer
made the demand to be admitted TO the Sister
hood in this form
The officiant, the Rt.Rev. Melchoir Greenbray,
of Wisconsin, asked
"What do you ask, my child 2"
To which each in turn replied
II demand the mercy of God, the Society of
the religious Of st. Ursula, and to take vows of
Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience according
to the rules of st. Augustine and its constitu-
ton"
"Have you entire knowledge of what you in
tend to promise 2"
'Yes, Rev. Father; and with the grace of God
hope to perform it faithfully"
They were then formally received, and SER
mon was delivered on the perfect liberty of the
religious life and upon the slavery which the
customs of the world entailed.
The sermon having been concluded and bene.
diction pronounced, the assemblage retired
while the Te Deune was sung by the choir.
