GRANTS OPINION OF THE JEWS

GRANTS OPINION OF THE JEWS.
Here is the stigma which Gen. Grant, at
the head Of his army, undertook to fix up
on the Jewish race:
HEADo'Rs 18th ARMY CORPS, DEPT
OF THE TENNESSEE, OXFORD, MISS, De
cember IT, IS62.-General Order No. IL
The Jews, as a class, violating every artl-
Gle Of trade established by the Treasury De-
partment, also Department orders, are
hereby expelled from the Department with
in tweniy-fUur hours from the receipt OF
this Order by the Post Commanders.
They will see that all this class OF people
are furnished with passes and required to
leave, and any one returning after such
notification will be arrested and held in con-
fnement until an opportunity occurs for
sending them out as prisoners, unless
furnished with permits from these headquar-
teTs.
Nopasses will be given this people to visit
Headquarters for the purpose of making per
sonal applications for trade permits.
By order Of Maior-Genersl Grant.
JOHN A. RAwLINS,
Assistant Adiutant-General.
Official J. LOWELL, Captain and Assist
ant Adjutant-Generd.
That was a sweeping exclusion Of Jewish
citizens from the rights accorded to others.
Now they are asked to vote for the man who
thus sought to stigmatise and degrade them
in the estimation of the people Of this
country.

Correspondence of the Union and American.
On the 18th inst. after a bracing drive
over the Dickson hills and by the golden
fields of heavy-headed wheat where the
song of the cradle made sweet music to the
happy yeoman, we arrived at CloVerdale,
the site of a young ladies seminary Of that
name, presided over. by our Chesterfeldian
friend, VIM. B. Bell. After the usual hustle
and preparation the exercises commenced.
A descTipti by detail would be too long
for your indulgence. Suffice it to say Prof.
J. T.. Armstrong with his classes in lingual
lore, entertained us in such manner that we
don't wonder at his being sent to expOund
the good book to the Grand Turk. Miss
Mamie Coldwen, of Shelbyville, Tenn,
presided over the musical department, en-
bracing enough instruments and tongues to
vie with ye grand coming jubilee, and our
senses were enLraDced with concord of
sweet faces and forms. D. r. Leech, chris
tened with the proper initials to indicate
his Esculapian inclinatiOns, made US hap
py talk on educational topics Of such down
right good logic as to take the nature of
postulatum. After that came exercises in
branch too often neglected ed-gymnastics- -
and in that line We must say it was the
most perfect recitation we ever saw.

The corruption Of the Grant ring in the
District of Columbia has been denounced
in an unexpected quarter. A territorial
government was created over the District
for the benefit of Grants friends and sup
porters, but it has grown so corrupt as to
call forth deEunciation from members Of
the patty. A Republican member of the
present Legislative Assembly of the Dis
trict made speech in its closing hours on
the Dist inst, which concludes as follows :
"Sir, conscious of the full import of the
words utter; mindful no less of my re-
sponsibilities than Of my obligations as a
citizen and a representative; convinced Of
the appalling truth of the words l speak
and of the necessity for speaking them
from my place upon this floor, and before
Won, my associates, and before my fellow
citizens and my fellow-countrymen, pro-
nounce the district government a conspiracy
against the people; a conspiracy against the
personal rights, the political liberties and
The individual property ofthe people Of this
district; conspiracy fOstered by despotism
and defended by perjury"

The man above named has achieved no.

fered laceratiOn by the claws and teeth of
Gagged animals. lie was one day last week
at Portage City, Minnesota, exhibiting his
"lion tanning" abilities in a circus. One of
his cages contained three partially tanned
brutes, two HOnesses and a lion.
He had found, contrary to usual eype-
rienCe, that the male lion w2s the most
crafty Of the three, en-, on two occasions
before the Cna at Portage City, he had de-
tected this huge fellow in the act of sneak
ing up to seize his leg. During the after
noon exhibition at Portage CIT the
tanner was going through hls usual perform
anCe in this cage, with two men stationed
ou;Sid6 with iron rods between the bars of
| the cage to assist, if necessary, in warding
off attack. The lion had somewhat puzzled
him, as maDifesting 2 diHerent nature from
that of any with which he had dealt, and
for that reason he kept his eye upon him;
| but at one point he was obliged to turn and
face the two liOnesses Is they passed him,
| leaving the lion to be watched by the at
| tendants. But the attendants failed 70 see
! the monster sneak along the moor. The
audience were watching more closely, the
danger was seen, and a cry of alarm was
! raised, but it was too late, the monster jaws
had closed on the calf Of Lengel's right leg,
| the teeth met, and Lengel fell to the floor
! of the cage. His club flew from his hand
as he fell, and was beyond his reach; the
moment was one of terrible suspense; the
! spectators were terrified, and the two at
tendants paralyzed at the result Of their
carelessness. But LengeIs presence of
mind did not desert bin.. The lion, even
in his rage, could not forget the poVer OF
his t@:..ien antagonist, and lOoseled his hold
| for a moment, ana before the lioness
could gather for an attack, the tanner
Was on his feet, seized his whip and
attacked his foe, lashing him into the
corner. Leaving the cage Lengel walked
to his dressing box, across the ring, where
he sank faint from the !osa of blood. 1t
was found thai 40 bones were broken, but
the wOUnd9 were so large and so deep that
) the surgeon who dressed them prObed them
with his finger and failed to reach the end,
Lengel had been five times before bitten
by his pets, and shows p Scared body, but
in every case before his woUnda have been
from li0nesses. This, he thinks, is the sec.
/ ond case in which he has been Intentionally
bitten, She other four being accidents, when
in Their snarIs among themselves, they

IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.
How Long it Averages Iu Three of the
States.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
In our own State prison there were 1S5
COnvicts between the years 1928 and 1866
who had been sent there under life impris-
Onment sentence. OF these, 90 were par
dOned, and several Others escaped by legal
jugglery. During a decade SO prisoners
were sentenced to endure imprisonment for
life in the Ohio Peni.entiary, and "a of
them we're pardoned. In Wisconsin for
the like term 36 life cOnvits were received in
the prisons, and II paIdoned therefrOm.
The average term served by 'life aIenp in
the three States was little 4nore than six
years, which is altogetheh too slight pun
meng for AMMAN who has committed a muir
der, and in some cases two or three.
1t is quite time that in regard &c the
treatment Of assassiDs we lar aside all SEN
timent, aud put them upon the plane with
| other criminals in the sight of the law. If
| their crime entities them to death (and the
Lawmakers have 90 decided it), let there be
no appeal from the decisions of those who
stand in our courts and represent the laws.
| If the law says that murderer shall never
20 at large again, and he is afterWard found
mingling with the people, then the law
loses in repute.
1t is by a laXity ia the enforcement OF
penalties and a prostitution Of executive
| prerogativo to political ends that has made
the metropolitan courts of New Y ork a syn
onym for judicial corruption. Under our
governmental system, with its ever-chang-
| ing administrative servants, the life impris-
Onment sentence is liable to great abuses.
The reason for its imposition, which to one
man in office may seem perfectly just, may
! be so placed before his follower that he in
| stantly reyerses the decision Of the courts,
and sets a dangerous man at liberty.
! This has been done repeatedly, and there
walks the streets of Boston to-day a nan
who has killed several men, has been con-
victed and sentenced 10 long terms twice
in our own Stase, and each time his release
| Las been brought about through political
! influence. 1t is sufficient comment upon
the whole proceeding to know that since
| hs release be has been ConGtantiy getting
his living in an employment which the law
of this State condemns.

Grant Assumes the Pressure.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Contrary to
reports from Geneva it is ascertained from
an official source that no negotiations are in
progress for new supplemental treaty.
Such course is considered unnecessary in
consequence of the decision ruling out of
the tribunal the claims for indirect damages.
During recent conversation with Presl-
dent Grant he said everything which had
been done by Secretary Fish relative to
the Treaty Of Washington was with his full
concurrence and therefore the responsibility
OF diplomatic action did not entire'y re. 1
