surance of peace for years to come, and inaug-
urated new era among nations in the settle
ment of differences without war He en-
couraged the merchants by presenting bright

in the course of his life, saw more confidence
than was now felt. He was heartily appauded

A special dispatch says that it is exceedingly
probable that the change so long looked for in
the internal revenue Office will become an ac-
cOmDliShed fact within fhp few DAYS nv thp
removal OF Gen. PleasantOn. The president
has long been determined to make a change in
the head OF that bureau, but hoped that he
would have been spared the necessity for re-
moving the man who had long enjoyed his
friendship and confidence. But as Pleasanton
resolutely refuses TO resign and relieve the sit
uation of its embarrassment, the president must
either dispense with his secretary or his com
missioner. There are no indications at present
as to who will succeed him, and it is thought
that position may be held open for some time
with Deputy Commissioner Douglass as acting
commissioner.

1860 people named the French came here and
we refer you to them as TO what happened
This people has lived for 1000 years in the enjoy
ment of its own civilization, and we want no
other. We trouble no other nation. Why do
you trouble us? Our country is in the extreme
east and yours in the extreme west. For what
purpose do you come so many thousand miles
across the sea? Is it TO inquire about the ship
destroyed-General Sherman? Her men COM
mitted piracy and murder, and were punished
with death. Do you want our land2 That can
not be. Do you want intercourse with us2 That
cannot be either"
