Fighting Jee Hooker's Opinion
From the Utica Observer.

ioih tliS ~ tiSd OpoSiNCI-l
"FightiDg Joe'' Hooker arrived at
Oswego yesterday morning on the
steamer Lawrence, en- route for Magne-
sia Springs, Mich, whittier he is bound
for the benefit of his health. The steam
er made short stop at Oswego, during
which The General talked freely of the
war, its conduct, and the result, and in
the course of the conversation express
ed frankly his opinion OF Grant. He
said Grant tried to get control of the
Grand Army of the Republic, but "we"
blocked him. Continued "Fighting Joe,'
''It is my absolute conviction that were
you to walk the length of Broadway,
you could not meet man less qualified
for the Presidency than Grant. We of
the army knew him better than the peo-
pie at large. When his adjutant, Gen
eral Rawlins, was alive, the President
seemed to be efficient and successful; ;
but when Rawlins died, Grants bottom
fell out He is now in his normal con-
dition." On one of the gentlemen in
quiring concerning Grants chances for
reelection, General Hooker replied, 81
am no politician; declined going to con-
ventions in 1865 chiefly because l regar-
ded Grant untitled for the office of Pres
ident; but, from observation, / now
think, candidly and without prejudice,
that Grant cannot carry half dozen
States. He is very cheap"

Salt and Coal.

The Democrats of Butler County,
Ohio, adopted a resolution of thanks to
the Democrats in Congress for their ef-
forts to repeal the coal and salt duties.
The bill to repeal these duties was de-
fcated in the Senate by the Democrats
IN. Y. Ereaing Post.
There are filtv-six Republicans and
fourteen Democrats in the United States
Senate, just four to one, and yet the Post
has the cool assurance TO say that this
small minority defeated the repeal of
duties on salt and coal, which its friends
could at any moment have carried, had
they been so disposed. The majority
found time enough to discuss force bills,
for. expressing the South, and the San
Domingo job, both at the regular and the
extra sessions, bat they utterly refused to
consider any measure of relief to the
people, and referred the whole subject to
a committee, as means of evading a
vote on the bills which had been. passed
by the House of Representatives. Va
-rious attempts were made by Mr.. TRUM-
BULL and others to call up the measures
for free tea, coffee, salt and coal, but Mr..
SHERMAN,who has charge Of the revenue
policy of his party in the Senate, refused
to allow them hearing, and substituted
the .'lodgep to which we have referred.
* Ever il the Committee of Finance
should agree to report bill next winter
reducing taxation, as they will be com
PEELED to do in some form after the dec
laration of Mr.. KELLEY, that eighty mil
lions of excess exist, any practical relief
under it woulG not be felt by the codn,
try for eighteen months. This is plainly
,demonstratable,and the Post knows, per-
fectly well, that the monopolists who
control the Republican patty, who have
spasssd all the tariffs Of the last ten years
and who will shape legislation during the
present Congress to suit their own inter
ests, have no intention of abating ont
ijot Of their selfish demands, or relaxing
their hard grasp on the industry of the
country. The Protectionists subs.an
tally own the Radicals, on the Commit
tees of the Senate and House, who arr
charged with these objects.

HThe NJ. Y. Tribune of last week
has very careful article giving in er-
tenso the argument against prohibition,
which is, "first and foremost" that such
a law could not have the fair amount of
support from public opinion necessary
to insure the execution of any law, the
great majority of mankind being in part
moderate drinkers. Besides, "good
police is hardly possible in the United
States at present" We read further:
at has taken fifteen hundred years of
experiment to satisfy us that men can
not be made pious by law; it is not won
derful, therefore, the faith should pre-
vail that by law they will eventually be
made sober. Lastly, there is
nothing in history or human nature to
warrant the conclusion that it will ever
be possible to incorporate in popular
morals a prohibition Of acts in them
selves harmless based simply on the fact
that excess in the commission ef them is
.hurtful, and that some persons are guilty
of this excess" art a5" y

Healthy Bllliar DIS.

A jokist who has been travelling in
some of the pretentions towns in the
backwoods counties of West Virginia,
writes as follows describing one of the
billiard tables he saw: "First, in the
middle of the floor was large dry
goods box, on which was laid wagon
load of sandstone, covered with about
eight yards of blue jeans. For pockets
they had old boots, about No. 10; for
cues they used old broken hoe handles !;
boiled eggs for balls, and to count this
lively game they used dried apples on a
clothes line"

est sea-going ship in existence, being
only of one and a half tons burden
(though with carrying capacity of two
tons, and is seven feet shorter on keel
and of three tons less tonnage than the
famous American miniature ship, the
Red White and Blue. She carries a
cargo Of bricks for ballast, and has on

In the forepart has been placed a small
cooking stove, and the steering appara-

can cook and steer at the same time,
while the other takes nap in the cabin
below. This latter convenience is aft,
in the hold of the little ship,and is bare
lv big enough for a man to sit up in; it
is. however, perfect model Of neatness
and ingenuity in its interior arrange

panion Of Captain Buckley, who was the
original commander, and who took her
across from England and he must there
fore have some experience of the tour.
For all that, it is reckless and foolish
undertaking, endangering the lives of

the case of Milligan VS.. Iovey ct dire
turned a verdict this morning, in the fol-
lowing words: "We, the jury, find the

This case was brought by LAMrDEN
P. MILLIGxN against Gen HovEr and
others for having him arrested tried and
sentenced by Court Martial during the

did not properly appreciate the injury

nority report: ~E#
= The minority of your Committee hav-
iEg opposed in consultation the propo-
silion recognizing the so called four
'teenth and fifteenth amendments because
they are neither de ,facto nor de jure
parts of the Constitution of the United
States, propose to the convention sub
stitute for the second and third resolu-

of the results which have been occasion

clare that whatever laws or provisions
of the Constitution have been establish
ed either by violence or fraud, are upon
principles of common honesty void.
The minority of your committee, how
ever, deem it inexpedient to MAKE any
expression Of opinion as to the fourteen

lieving that if an expression be neces-
sary, recommend that the following be
adopted as a substitute to the third and
fourth resolutions proposed to this Con-
vcntion:
Resolced, That the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments have been made

A FALSE TELEGRAM CORRECTED.
URBANA, OHIO, March IS, 1871.

OIodLNAg O64Og NAdLCu 20 1911
To the Editors of the Enquirer.
GENTLEMEN: a paragraph in a
special dispatch from Springfield, Ohio,
published in your paper of Saturday,
stated that Mr.. S. n. Mott had beeU
fined one hundred dollars and costs in
Court of Common Pleas here for an as
sanlt upon G. M. Nichols, editor of the
Springfield Republic, and spoke of him
Hr. NOtt) as a belligerent individual,
whose presence was not desirable. The
fact was that Mr.. Mott made an AT
attack upon Mr.. Nichols in the cars at
this place in consequence of an article
in the Republic, making an unprOvOked
attack on him and holding him up to
ridicule, and that the Court on a plea of
guilty of assault and battery, and hear
ing statements of The circumstances,
fined him only ten dollars and costs.
while the law authorized as high as
$50 fine and six months Imprisonment
the Court, in giving its sentence, as
signing the character of the prOvOcatiun
as a main reason, for the lightness of the
fine. And so far from Mr.. Mott acduir-
ing the character of a belligerant fndi-
vidual, whose presence is not desirable,
he has been for several seasons and is
now teaching dancing i'm this city, and
elJOyilS lue pdGIOudSe Oh many OF the
best families in the place. The attack
Of Mr.. Nichols upon him in his paper
was entirely unprOvOked unless by po-
litical animOsity, Mr.. Mott being a
Democrat. The paragraph i'm the dis
patch from Springfield seems to have
been dictated by personal ill-feeling to
Mr.. Mott (as no attempt has been made
by its author TO correct the statement
that the fine was 500, which might
otherwise have been supposed to be
possibly an error of the telegraph or
types), and was doubtless sent to your
paper so as to be more offensive to him
as Democrat and reader of the En-
qtsirer. It is due to Mr.. Mott to
make this correction. VINDEx.
