A w. n. m

The Honorable Dick Busted has resum
ed the little games which were temporarily
interrupted by the illness from which he
has so gIievously recovered and by the ini-
peachu ent from which he has so sadly es-
capped. He has removed Mr.. Samuel Tate
from the office Of Receiver of the Selma and
Meridian Railroad for the reason that he
was aggravatingly honest, impudently pop
ular aud unpardonably flt for the position
Misdemeanors like these naturally aroused
the wrath of glorious Dick. and 80, without
the formality of assigning any cause for the
procedure, he tErned Mr.. Tate uncere
moniously out. Immediately thereafter he
appointed in the place of the offending Tate
a person named Hardy. This HARDY VIA

that he was VIGOROUSLY regarded as the
most corrupt man la Alabama. with the ex

Two Suggestions.

That venerable old fossil philosopher of
the Tribune thus makes a suggestion. Gen
eral Lee was the other day elected an hon
orary member of fire company In SaYan-
nah. and the Tribune thus says:
And this letter OF acceptance was receiv-
ed by the runners of the machine with ebul-
lient enthusiasm. Now, it the General will
only write another letter TO his new associ-
ates, he may prove himself a blessed broth
err indeed. We want him to advise them
whenever they may meet a red-hOt, unre-
constructed rebel. with a morbid appetite
for eating fire. TO play upon the unfortunate
salamander until they have thoroughly
quenched him.
And then let them load up with hot water
and play upon the carpet-bagger or scala-
wag until they have effectually cooked him,
and relieve the South of those loyal fire-in-
the-rear pets the 1ribune's party fastens
upon decent people.

Southern Homage to the Hr-Contoderate

Southern Homage to the Br-Contederate
Chief
From the Charleston Is. c. Courier.
A grand reception on Wednesday night,
bore testimony, ample and greatful. of the
veneratinn and affectionaJe esteem in which
Robert +. Lee, the great chief of the ESQ
called lost cause" is held by the elite OF
our people. From p. NJ. to II there was no
cessation of the overflow of corners. Old
and young, the graybeards and sires of the
country. the noble, pure, honorable, poor,
and wealthy. with hardly an exception, were
present, and glad to do him honor. State
" DANES of the old school grandmothers of
10 and long train Of granddaughter, all
fl9cked around the noble old chief. glad of a
smile, of a shake of the hand; and happy
was the girl of II or II who carried away
on her lips the parting kiss of the grand old
soldier.
Such has been his welcome in Charleston;
but oh : how much more fervent IL would
have been had his health been sufficient to
have permitted him TO yield himself freely
to the popular anxiety to see him, feel the
pressure of his hand and hear his words.
however few, in those subdued and mellow
tones which declare the gentleman.
Gen. Lee is evidently feeble, and his good
nature was severely tax ed, even by the low
ing exactions of those who only sought to
do him honor. His fine figure seemed re-
Taxed and weary, but his noble and benign
none of that amiable sweetness of express
sion which. even in his case, trained TO the
field spoke for the courtier far more than
tor the soldier. We noted that his skin was
fair, florid. and healthy, announcing suffl-
cient stamina, could he escape from toll aud
society for perfect recupe-ation. The grace,
ease, and simplicity of his manner were a
charm in every eye, and even the few SEN
fences which Ii was permitted him to speak
were all so many tones of facination of the
eager ears that bent forward to listen.
Among the visitors present were noted
two of the secretaries of President Davis
cabinet, the Hon. Messrs. Memminger and
Trenholm; and Judge Bryan, district judge
of the United States, did net conceive IL in
consistent with his loyalty TO do reverence
to the great mau in seclusion.
