Abraham and his mother have been arrested.
When the Tennessee was four days at
sea, and her rather slow progress had become
a subject OF remark, it was discovered that
her steam and sail were working iu opposite
directions. That is TO say. her sails were
propelling the ship towards Santo DJmingo,
while her steampower was working towards
home. As it vas, however. the sails beat

The joint resolution of Congress, removing
Democratic United States Senator from
Georgia. having been signed by the Presi-
dent, Dr.. Miller has taken his seat in the
Senate. His term Of Office will expire to-day,
which ends the present session of Congress,
but the Legislature of his State being large
ly democratic. his reelection may be con-
idently anticipated. When DIR. Miller took
his seat in the Senate, it was the FIRST time
the spring of 1861, that all the States in the
Union. amounting to thirty seveH, have been
represented in that body. 1t is to be hoped
that it is al auspicicus omen for the future
peace and tranquility of the count try.

a CURIOUS PHENoMKNoN A rumbhng
noise, which no one can exactly illustrate or
describe. was heard by number of persons
in different parts of town on Sunday evening
about six o'clock The atmosphere at the
time WAS quite heavy. and it might have
been the passage of meteor through the air
beyoud the range of vision, or the mutter-
ing of young earthquake. We noticed ii
distinctly in our room. looking around to
see y hat had produced the sound, but failed
to discover it, and wero afterwards much
surprised to learn that others at distance
had received precisely the same impression
of it we had. No cars were running on the
railroad within fifty miles at the time, and
it could not therefore have been the revei-
beratun Of . running train sometimes heard
at great distance. QHjen sabs ?-LetciS-

A STRANGE STORY About GEN. GRANT.
"A few days after the capture OF Fort Sum
ter. in April. 1861. when the voice Of the
whole country was for war, we had con
versation with gentleman who was an Off
Ger in the Mexican war. and who bssides IN
Ohio, had obtained eminence as a civilian,
that we have often thought Of since. Said
he to US: Il saw to-day an old comTa!e Of
mine in Mexico, West Pointer, but who
resigned his position in the army few years
ago. | asked him why he was not in uai.
form. and expressed my surprise that be
not already colonel or general Of vol
unteers. His reply was, Il think you and
| have bad fighting enough. What | want
in this war is a place by which 1 can make
some money" He sought to get that
place here. He made an effort to be selected
by the Government as a buyer of horses.
but failed. He uext endcavored to borrow
a few hundred dollars from a military friend
Of ours, then and now in the regular army,
for the purpose Of entering into business
where he would get army patronage. Being
refused. he applied, as we understand to
Gen. Burns for position in the Commis-
sary Department in this city, but failed also
in getting it. There being nothing here to
suit him. he wendei his way back 10 Ilin~
ois, and became sort of secretary to Gov
ernor Yates. and everything else being un,
successful. he chose at last to 20 into the
army But he did not want 10 90 - here
there was fighting at all. 1t was money he
was after. aud money he has made as Gen
eral and President of he United States. If
he had obtained the position he asked for, as
buyer of horses. the country would have had

The Bohemian who corresponds with
the Memphis Appeal from Nashville has
stepped aside from newspaper decency
and honor and wantonly assaults our Sem
ator in the following gross and slsnderous
manner:
"Mr. Sewer still sore over the exposure
of his conversation on the public printing
arose to complain that his explanation in
the appeal was unsatisfactory. In a speech
showing bad taste and worse temper, he
attacked the reporter of the appeal. The
fact is, be is soured by disappointment.
Elected as a Conservative, he came to the
Senate aspiring to the Speakership. Fail
ing in having his surprising merits recog-
nized, he has returned to the Radical stye
from which he never wandered far, to
wallow in the congenial mire of Radical
ism. He has become a senatorial Xantippe
and the most intolerable bore that ever
afflicted q legislative body"
DIR. Sewer is our townsman and fellow
citizen, and having known him for many
years. We only bear the testimony of this
entire community. in saying that he is
an honest, intelligent, heightened gentle
man, who has never sullied his life with .
base action, never oondescended to mean
thing.

md b Dem 0crRtS. -

The Assembly 03 Republicans
and IS Dem 0crats.
The latest returns indicate a Repub-
lican majority On the State ticket of
15.764.
There is no change in the State Sen
ate. Some of the Democratic journals
claim the election of Scott in Elwood's
district. basing the claim on his 700
majority in Otsego county. but if Nc
Gowan runs anywhere near his ticket
in Herkimer, he will over balance OF
sego. Graham is elected beyond a
doubt in Hubbards district, though the
Democratic journals claim his defeat.
TIE same papers claim the reelection
of George r. Sanford. but the figures
defeat him by 1,640 majority.
There are three changes to note in
the Assembly. The Republicans gain
the Clinton district. while the Demo-
Gratis gain the Fulton and Hamilton,
and the Second district of Columbia,
Cady being defeated by 18 majority.
This makes the figures SO to IS, as
printed in the Sun on the monring fol-
lowing the election.

A WORD MORE ABOUT EDU-
CATION.

Messrs. Editors You have been say
ing many good things about education.
and 1 hope they will be the means Of
arousing public sentiment to the impor-
lance of the work, and 10 the necessity of
immediate action.
Slowly and gradually the want of edu-
cation is beginning to be felt. Now. is
there not danger that We may fall into a
serious error at this point? 1 infer that
there is from the location of some Of the
school buildings which have recently been
erected in this and adjoining Counties
Let US take the proper steps, so that the
ages may not shame our action. We
know that physical exercise is absolutely
essential to the maintenance of substanti-
al health of mind and body. The brain
tires from incessant work and must have
the kind and amount of exercise which
will preserve a healthy balance of all the
parts.
For some years past physical culture in
connection with mental training has re-
ceived some attention from many of our
best educators. A few schools have been
established where the body as we'll as the
mind is strengthened and DEVELOPED
The success with which these schools have
been attended, it would seem, should
claim the attention, ifnot the hearty CO.
operation of all those who are seeking to
place in the hands of our youth the best
means of doing good and acquiring power.
Such is not the case. Turning again to
our common schools we find the building
which ought to reflect the good taste and
worth of a district, a rude cabin, window
less, almost, shut in by the public high
way on the one side, and by cultivated
fields on the other. There is no open
space for childhood and youth to onjoy its
wonted freedom. The spring, not a great
way off, and the pleasant valley down
which the light sparkling water flows. the
beautiful shade trees and the grassy lawn
on either side are all for the enjoyment of
the lower animals. Why? Because, I
suppose, they tell more directly on the
pecuniary interests of the community
It saves a vast amount of money to build
a school house on a piece of ground which
is fit for nothing else, especially if it is
not large enough to afford the children a
playing ground. It is a ~ise economy Of
soil to shut them in By fields, and road
sides, and ~forbidding restrictions. Itsoon
begets q love for. book and school. and
then it says to the passer-by, "HoU these
people loue their children"
PAssKR-BY.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The success of the Republican ticket in
the recent elections has astonished even
the Republicans themselves. While We
advocate principles because we believe
them to be right, we do not always do 30
with a prospect, or, even a hope, of their
immediate triumph. In New York, in
particular, where a system of wrong,
practiced for years with IMMUNITY. sup
ported By one hundred thousand voters,
and backed by millions of capital, had led
us to believe there was not virtue enough
at the bottom to ever succeed in over
throwing the immense mass of corruption
that had hoated so long upon the surface,
the result is astounding as it is gratifying.
In that city. fraud and dishonesty have
been the order of the day in every office
from the highest to tie lowest.
The enlightened s~coundrelism Of
that city did not stop at %swindling the
people out of few paltry hundreds or
even thousands of dollars its ambi tion
was as boundless as it was bold and skill
full and millions upon millions were swal-
lowed up, and still its cravings were not
satisfied. All sense ofoficial honor seems
10 have been lost in an inordinate desire
TO make money, and every opportunity
that opened was promptly taken advan-
tage of by this INSCRIPTIONS set of first
class thieves to accomplish that end.
But the day of reckoning has come at
last. The people have been aroused to a
sense of their dangerand at one blow the
whole pack of thieves and robbers have
been hurled from power and honest
men put in their place.
The Republicans of New York have
one important duty yet to perform be-
fore the country will be satisfied. That
duty is to see that these infamous plum
dsrers are brought to speedy punishment
for their crimes.
They have gone unwhipped of justice
long enough. They are now, thanks to
public plunderya wealthy and powerful
combination and it will take strong meas
ures to accomplish anything against them.
But now that the honest men of both par
tics are thoroughly aroused, We hope to
see even handed justice melted out to
each and all of them according to the ma
ture and extent of their crimes.
Let the good work 60 on. Let honest
men take heart, and above all let Repub-
licans rejoice at the triumph Of those
principles of equality and justice for
which SO much time aud treasure and
blood have been sacrificed.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC DE
PARTURE.

A strong movement has been set OIL
foot by many leading Democratic journals
with the avowed object of nominating a
moderate Republican for President in
1872, who is to receive the support of the
Democratic party. Dispairing Of success
with a regular Democratic nominee, they
hope by this means to divide the Republi-
can party and thus defeat Grant for the
next Presidency. In other words they are
foolish enough to believe that by running
= Republican on a Democratic platform
they can delude the people into supporting
him instead of the regular nominee of the
party. If any considerable number of
the Republican party were as hair-braIned
As the men who have started this move
nent, they might entertain some hopes of
succeeding. But so long as the Republic
can party maintains its present standard
Of intelligence, they will never accom-
plish anything by this piece of strategy. 1t
is altogether too thin a disguise in which
to attempt a masquerade of that magni-
tude. Republicans vote, not for the man
himself, but for the principles he repre-
sents and if they were to nominate Gen.
eral Grant himself. and attempt to run
him on a Democratic platform he would
be defeated just as certain as would JEFF.
Davis, or any other prominent Rebel. The
proposition itself would be taken as an in
suit to the intelligence of every man in
the Republican ranks, and would be trea-
ted accordingly.
The late elections ought to convince
every thinking man that the course pur-
sued by the present Administration meets
the appreciation of the great mass of the
American people. They have in the most
striking and convincing manner %pronouuc-
ed their verdict of approval upon 1t, and
that verdict may safely be taken as an in
dex of the one that will be given in 1872.
But we have no objection to their trying
this little game on, if they can find a re-
spectacle Republican who is fool enough
10 sacrifice himself by accepting their
nomination.
