DR.. w. ID. Baldwin.

Our old friend, DR.. Baldwin, leaves New
Orleans to-day, on the steamship Bienville'
for the North, accompanied by his family,
on the agreeable errand of placing one Of
his sons in the Military Academy Of West
Point. A resident of the South for more
than quarter of a century. DIR. Baldwin
revisits His birthplace in the Empire State
for the first time since he left it SO long ago,
laden with the esteem and good wishes of
this community.
As a family physician he ranks high, while
as a public spirited citizen the estimation in
which he is held by his fellow-citizens has
been repeatedly manifested by the bestowal
of responsible positions. He is at present,
and has been for several years past,
quarantine physician for New Orleans, a
post of great trust and Importance.
His birthplace in New York is in the vici-
nifty of the Catskill mountains, and though
his absence from that classic region is about
twice the duration of Rip Van Wrinkles
sleep, his old acquaintance there will find
him very wide-awake. Here's to himself
and family, may they live long and prosper

Grant, Butler 4 Go.

Some of our Radical contemporaries
have been forced by the recent alliance
of GRANT and BUTLER to endeavor to
sustain the latter. The New York
Tribune, however, will not consent to
this. 1t says of him: Gas to Mr.. But
LER, If there Is anything remaining of
him after the sanguinary row he pro-
voked, we may safely leave it to be
dealt with by his Yankee tellow.citi-
zens, who will certainly object TO being
represented bya man who has not dis
cretion enough to keep out of quarrcls,
nor pluck enough to carry them
through" GRANT, who had expressed,
in his official report, his contempt for
the "bottled up" hero of Bermuda
Hundreds, was tempted, by BuTLER's
boasted smartness, TO take him into po.
litical partnership. We doubt If the
profits of it will be large. BUTLER de-
vised the late Military bill, and the Ku-
Klux excitement that was to sustain it.
But the House rejected BUTLER's bill,
and on motion of the Radical Speaker,
Mr.. BLAINE, appointed committee to
investigate the lies about the South.
Then BUTLER got GRANT to make it q
party question by sending in message
asking the passage of BUTLER's scheme
and ii was thus carried through against
the remonstrances Of some of the best
men and journals of the Republican
party. But GRANT has suffered more
by his association with the gang of
scoundrels he has gathered round him,
and their revolutionary plots in his and
their interest, than hedid even through
his implication in the "gold conspiracy"
and his bad habits-among them that
of pocketing presents, He has frittered
away all the reputation won in his mil
itary career, by his discreditable civil
administration. He is now in the same
sort OF company, politically, that he
was when the financial sharpers in
New York got him in their clutches;
and so used him that the Congressional
Committee of his own party only
screened his damaged reputation by
suppressing his letters, and shifting all
the blame on Corbin, his brother-in-law,
and Butterlield, the faithless public
officer of his selection. .-IhiadeIphid

THE action of the chinese government
in disregarding the Buringame treaty
by refusing to protect missionaries and
teachers, has been brought TO the atten-
tion ofthegovcrnmcnt, and isnow under
consideration. 1t appears that the Chi
nese are actuated in this matter by the
course pursued by the people of the
United States against Chinese emigra-
tion, and particularly the harsh manner
in which the Chinese are treated in
California.
The Chinese government holds that
our government has failed to carry out
that part Of the Burlingame treaty which
insures protection to Chinese in the
Uni ted States. 1t is regard cd as very
troubleso me question, and one which
the government is at loss how to deal
with.

DAVID ALLEN, Esq. an old and re

DAVID ALLEN, Esq. an old and re.
spected citizen of Bald Eagle township,
Clinton county, died at his residence on
the 2lst instant, of congestion of the
lungs, aged about So years. Mr.. ALLEN
removed from Jerseytown, Columbia
county, where several of his relations
still reside, about 40 years ago. Soon
after settling in Clinton county he was
appointed Justice of the Peace, which
office he held until near the time of his
death and perhaps was then in commits
sion, but for several years passed was
too blind to do business Hewas DEM
ocrat in politics, and though his town.
ship gave large Whig majority he was
always reelected when he ran for Jus.
tice of the Peace. He several tim es
held county offices and was once the
Democratic nominee for Associate
Judge. In muscular strength and acti-
vity he had few equals and even in old
age walked as erect as a soldier. His
health and constitutional vigor did not
apparently fail him in the least until he
lost his eye sight, when want of action
and exercise no:doubt seriously affected
both. 1t is therefore probable that he
would have lived several years yet had
he not lost his sight. He was kind
and very hospitable man and was uni.
versally respected by his acquaintance.
Mrs. Allen died a few months ago, quite
old. She was also much respected.

Gen. Sherman on the KnKlnx.

The General of the Army Is at present
on visit of inspection to the south and
the western frontier. Arriving the
other day in New Orleans, he was ten.
dered a reception by the American
Union Club of that city, an association
professedly non-political but composed
almost entirely of radical politicians.
The General accept ed the invitation of
the club and the reception came on
with the usual display of pyrotechnics,
oratory, etc. After number of toasts
had been given and responded to, there
were cries OF "SHERMAN!" "SHER.
MANI and the general begged to be ex-
cused from speaking, but the clamor OF
the enthusiastic members of the "Amer-
lean Union Club" could not be silenced.
The distinguished but taciturn guest
was obliged to speak, and he did speak
in the following manner:
81 believe this government will keep
on growing until it spreads itself over
the entire American continent but in
order TO gain this much desired end,
and to maintain ourselves as free and
Independent republic, we have got to
show ourselves charitable towards each
other. 1t has been remarked by some
gentleman who has preceded me that it
was generally conceded by the soldiers
of both armies at the close of the late
civil war, that If the questions and all
matters of the settlement of the differ
ences between the north and south were
left to the armies, it would be settled at
once, and everything would become
quiet and orderly. l so believed; and
before signing the agreement with Gen.
JOE JOHNSTON, called together all
the generals under my command, and
without a dissenting voice they agreed
with me. l believed they surrendered
in good faith, and would have lived up
to the very letter of the agreement
and, in my opinion, if there had been
no reconstruction acts of Congress, and
the army been left at the time to settle
all the questions of difference between
the different sections of the country,
the people would have at once become
quiet and peaceable. probably have
as good means of information as most
persons in regard to what is called the
Ku-klux, and am perfectly satisll ed
that the thing is greatly over-estimated;
and if the Ku.klux bills were kept out
Of Congress, and the army kept at their
legitimate duties, there are enough
good and true men in all southern states
TO put down all Ku-klux or other bands
of marauders,n

A year or more ago the Supreme Court
decided the act of Congress making
greenbacks a legal tender for contracts
made before its passage to be unconsti-
tutional. Five Judges concurred in this
decision and two opposed it. Since
then two new Judges have been added
to the number. These were said at the
time to be pledged to reverse this de-
cision and that this was made con-
dition of their appointment. Both, too,
are said to be pecuniarily interested in
the decision. Recently the Court again
opened the question, and decision has
been given sustaining the constitution
ality of the act, by five to four. Chief
Justice CHASE, the author OF the green,
back act is Of the latter.
In commenting on the conduct of the
new Judges, the N. Y. Tribune says:
The most serious objection to the
action of Justices Strong and Bradley of
the U. S. Supreme Court, in the late
Legal Tender case, is that they over
turned and brought into contempt
recent very careful decision of their
own Court, by ruling, with little argu-
ment and in unusual haste, on the side
on which they had but short time
before been paid advocates. The Phiia-
delphid Inquirer assures us that Justice
Strong divested himself absolutely of
his railroad interests before taking his
seat on the bench, and says that some.
thing in The tribune once convey ed a
contrary impression. We take pleasure,
therefore, in giving prominence to The
Mquirer's statement; but must be per-
mitted to add that it does not touch tho
point of our complaint. 1t was an essen
TALLY improper thing that recent and
earnest paid advocate of the constitu.
tionality Of the Legal Tender law should
take his seat upon the Supreme Bench
to decide it constitutional Let him be
pure as snow, he cannot, for this, escape
1t is decision in the
interests Of the great railroad compa-
nies, and it has been reached through |
the instrumentality Of their former paid |
advocates and stockholders now on the |
bench. The first conclusion of the Court |
has been hastily reversed, but it will
not be as easy TO restore the public re-
spect and reverence for the tribunal
which this decision has sacrificed.

The British Treaty.

The U. 8. Senate is to meet on the
10th instant to consider the British
treaty. The following is given in the
press dispatches as synopsis of the
terms of the treaty. If the United States
escape the tom-foolery about the "Ala-
bama claims" without heavy loss, the
people may congratulate themselves:
Several of the American commission.
ers have informed some of the senators
who are to take prominent part in the
debate on the forthcoming treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States of the main points of settlement.
1t appears that the navigation of the st.
Lawrence river and Canadian canal is
settled outright favorable to the United
States.
The fishery question is settled, with
the proviso that the United States is to
pay Canada certain amount of money
for fishing privileges.
The San Juan boundary question is to
be referred to an arbitrator, whose de-
cision, our commissioners believe, can
not fail to be in favor of the United
States.
The Alabama claims are not settled
absolutely. The only principles upon
which they are to be adjudicated here
after by the commissioners are agreed
upon. The principles are regarded as
very liberal towards the United States.
The last clause of the treaty, which will
provoke opposition, is the manner in
which our government admits the va.
lidity of the claims against the United
States held by Englishmen. These
claims are to 90 before a senaratp cOm-
mission to be audited. American claims
against Great Britain are also to be
audited by separate commission.
A prominent senator, who has ex.
amined the whole subject closely, states
that the English claims which are put
forward by the British government as
an offset to our claims will reach from
thirty. to fifty millions, and will far
exceed all that has been claimed by us
for damages out of the depredations of
the rebel cruisers. He says if we get off
without paying large sum out of our
treasury he will be surprised.

White Men Reflect {!

The Washington Patriot coolly mar
rates thus:
EDWIN i. STANTON, son of the late
Secretary of War, is named for appoint
ment as Secretary of the Territory of
Columbia, in place of Chapman, elected
to Congress. There is heavy pressure
being put upon the President to appoint
John f. Cook, now City Register. Mr..
Cook is respectable and intelligent
colored man, and very popular with
the resident colored population. Frede.
rick Douglass is also a candidate for the
place, and is backed by faction of the
colored people and some white Radicals.
There are other aspirants, none of whom
however, are so strongly backed as to be
likely to overcome the forces mustered
by the negro population. AS the matter
stands now it hardly seems as though
the President can appoint white man
without giving serious offence to that
class here which is the sole local support
ofthe Administration The appointm ent
will be made in a day or two.

A MosT remarkable commentary on
the patient submission of the American
people to the yoke of their oppressors is
found in what occurred a few days since
in England. In order to raise additional
revenue to be applied to the improve
ment and strengthening of the national
defense, the British Minister of Finance
proposed to lay stamp tax on matches
of one halfpenny per box. The proposi-
tion had scarcely been mooted in Parlia-
ment before the British people began to
protest against it. The popular irrita-
tion excited by this attempt on the part
of the cabinet of Great Britain to adopt
a mode of taxation by which more than
two millions of dollars per annum are
wrung from the American people, was
so great that mob assembled at West
minister and demanded that the measure
should be abandoned. The result was
that the mover of the proposition in
Parliament, withdrew his resolution,
and the administration declined to press
1t further. What becomes of our boasted
love of liberty when we tamely submit
to an imposition at the mere mention OF
which JOHN BULL bellows and paws
the earth with rage ?-Moming Patriot.

The Legislature is now in harmon
ious working order, and bills are being
passed at rapid rate. Another lock
had occurred, but Gov. GEARY having
promised to sign the apportionment
bill, the machinery was again set in
motion and is now working at railroad
speed. We would have preferred to
have seen the apportionment bill ve-
toed, in the hope that its imperfections
would be corrected.
The noise of the Radicals about all
legislation being stopped would have
done no injury. We believe the people
would be highly gratified if they could
be assured that there would be no fur
ther legislation. They are more fearful
that they will get too much of it than
not enough.

has considerable majority over his

enough to defeat him, the laws of that
State requiring majority of the whole
number of votes to elect. The election
