ported as saying several things in defence of
his course, and in reiteration of his opinions,
which he had better have left unsaid. The
less ne talks about Mrs. Surratt execution, the

points are his admitted personal honesty, and
his resistance to the unjust and unconstitution-

portion of his administration. There are many
things he did when he first became the acting
President, which are not to be palliatcd Or ex-

passages in his history which do not commend
him. But let his country do him justice.

Col. MCCLURE, aleading Republican poll
tican in Pennsylvania, has lately been giving
his views on the political situation, and the con-
dition of matters, generally; especially in his
own State. An abstract Of these opinions, as
published, is given in the Baltimore Gazette ::
He acknowledges that the Republican, party
can no longer be held together on the old issues;
that the great demand Of the country irrespec-
tive of party affiliations, is for square depar-
ture from the violence and usurpations of mill
,ary power; from oppressive tax laws and need
less tax-gatherers; from the logic of bayonets
and force laws at election, and, in short to re-
turn from the commissions Of war to the calm
conservative measures of peace. He hopes that
the Republicans will recognize the necessity Of
responding to the popular sentiment in those re-
spects, but frankly adds that upon the surface
Of political affairs it does not look just now as if
they would" Col. Mcclure questions the poll
cy of renominating General Grant for the Presi-
dency. He asserts that the Republican State
ticket in Pennsylvania is in peril to-day mainlyt by
the load of Grants denomination in 1872 which
was Incorporated into the platform by Il trick.

PUBLIC DEBT OF VIRGINIA. Gov. of
West Virginia has appointed j. NJ. Bennett,
General J.-J. Jackson and A. ". Campbell,
commissioners to treat with Virginia on the
subject of the latter's debt and West Virginia s
liability for a portion of it. The Richmond
Dispatch says: MIR. Bennett, of Weston, was
for years the auditor of Virginia, and knows all
about the public debt owing by the two States;
Jackson Of Parkersburg, is man OF fine mind
and thorough West Tirginian. Archie Camp,

if he comes to the conclusion that his State
ought to pay fair proportion of the debt he
will not fail to say so. y

10 Ireland and Scotland, and tine Of twenty
shillings may be levied upon each dog found at
large after notice has been given by the proper
local authorities to confne the animals in con-
sequence of hydrophobia. Owners of sporting
dogs also run the risk of having to pay damages
for injuries done by their canine friends to
sheep and cattle. The law emphatically says
that ''the owner of every dog shall be liable to
damages for injury done to any cattle or sheep
By his dog and it shall not be necessary for
the parry seeking such damages to show
previous mischievous propensity in such deg
or the owners knowledge of such previous
propensity, or that the injury was attributable
