True TO His Instincts.

A few days after the capture Of Fort
Sumter, in April, 1861, when the voice
of the whole country was for war, we
had a conversation with a gentleman
who was an officer in the Mexican
war, and who, besides, in Ohio had OBJ
tanned eminence as a civilian, that we
have often thought OF since. Said he
to us II saw to-day an old comrsde OF
mine in Mexico, a West Pointer, but
who resigned his position in the army
few years ago l asked him why he
was not in uniform, and expressed my
surprise that he was not already colo
mel or general of volunteers. His re-
ply was 4 think you and | have had
lighting enough. What want in this
war is a place by which can make
some money" He sought to get that
place here. He made an effort to be
selected by the government as buyer
of horses, but failed. He next endeav-
ored to borrow a few hundred dollars
of a military friend Of ours, then ana
now in the regular army, for the pur-
pose Of entering into a business where
he would get army patronage; Beng
refused, he applied, as We understand
to General Burns, for position IN the

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY o.
The committee on Judiciary reported,
without amendment, the House bill
providing for the appointment of an
additioaal Assistant Attorney General.
Mr.. Thurman. from the same CON-
mittee, reported adversely on the bill to
allow criminal to testify in his own

Also, without amendment, the House
bill to divide the State of Ohiofinto
three Judicial districts.
Mr.. Williams presented and shad
read the resolutions Of the Oregon Leg

to interfere with suffrage within the

being forced on the States by the aid OF
bayonees. Mr.. Williams moved TO lay
the subject on the table. Agreed to.
The bill to regulate the organization

but failed also in getting it. There be
ing nothing here to suit him, he wend-
ed his way back to Illinois, and became
a sort of Secretary to Governor Yates,
and, everything else being unsuccessful,
he chose at last to 60 into the army.
But he did not want to 60 where there
was fighting at all. 1t was money he
was after, and money he has made as
General and President of the United
States. If he had obtained the position
he asked for, as buyer of horses, the
country would have had a competent if
not an honest man in that place, and
we should not now have had bad
President, who makes the filling OF his
purse his principal usiness.-Enq'arer.

against the Erie company, Judge
Barnard Yesterday rendered the follow

cerned in this case, direct the entry Of
iudrment in favor of defendants, but
without costs or allowance. In moral
point Of view feel convinced that the

WASHINGTON.
The San Domingo Com omission not
yet Heard from.

WASHINGTON, February IA cores
pondent telegraphs that Admiral Por-
ter yesterday expressed surprise at not
receiving intelligence from the Tennes-
see, though he does not appear anxious.
1t should be remembered that the
weather since the departure of the Ten
nessee has been exceedingly rough,
which in itself is sufficient to account
for the very lengthy voyage. The Ten
nessee is one of the staunchest and
most complete vessels in the naval ser
vice Of the United States, and little ap-
prehension need be felt regarding her
ability to weather any gale, aud al
though it seems to have been expected
at Washington that her arrival at
Samana would be announced by tele-
graph from Havana, it is not at all
certain, and is even improbable, that
vessel was found ready at SANTANA to
carry the news to Havana.
The CoIOred Population.
1t appears from the census returns
of 1870 that the SOB counties OF Ken
lucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Virginia and West Virginia,
designated as the old slave breeding
States, the colored population is 1870
473, or near 10000 more than in 1860.
There were gains il percentage only in
North Carolina and Tennessee. In Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and
Texas, designated as the old slave con-
sumpg States, in Al counties, the col
ored population in 1870 was |, ,l15, ,4O2,
or 9j,562 more than in 1860. There
were losses in percentage in Louisiana,
