The legislature, in imitation of Minnesota,
passed an act Furnishing by fine any pointing Of
firearms at person in play, adding an impris-

it goes, hardly meets the case Of the bad boy to

GRANTS MEANNEss.

= - ft~f = ttss. II +.
9 Grant, by his treatment of that gallant sol
der, statesman and gentleman, General Han
cock, has shown himself to be possessed Of the
meanest and lowest instincts that have ever
been exhibited, either in public or priyate life
of any President of the United States. While
all the other Major. Generals in our army have
been assigned to important commands, and
given military divisions, the mean, little, dirty
sneak, who accidentally occupies temporarily
the White House, has taken particular pains
that General Hancock, who is in every way
his superior except in military rank, shall be
assigned to some insignificant department like
Dakota, where he has been for a year or so.
He has endeavored in every way possible to
snub him. When General Thomas died, it was
expected, as matter of course, that General
Hancock would be assigned as his successor in
the command of the military division of the
Pacific coast but Grant, in his meanness, and
to crafty his personal animosity, assigned Gen.
eral Schoiieid, Brigadier-General, to that com
mand. When General Hallcck, another Major
General in the army, died, and who was in
command of the department or military diVis-
ion of the South, it was then expected, and
custom and usage demanded that Gen. Hancock
should be assigned to that department, but
Grants innate meanness and anilnosity towards
Hancock again exhibited itself by his ordering
that that military division be discontinued al
though Hancock, who is IL ajor.General in
the army, was not in command of a depart
ment, and was the only Major-General who
was not. Hancocks fault is in being u Dem
ocrat; and Grant, while he is in power, does
everything he can to crush him, as he is envi-
Gus of General Hancock's good name and rep
utation, not only as u soldier, but as a gentle
man.

PHILLIPS on BUTLER.--W Wendell Phillips
made speech, short time ago, at the Sol
diers Home, in Dayton, Ohio, in which he
lauded old Ben. Butler to the skies. He pro-
claimed that the cock-eyed spoon-thief and
insuter of women was the "ablest and purest
statesman of the day." If he is the ablest and
purest in the Radical ranks, what a hell-de
serving set the balance must be. If old Wen
dell hasn't gone entirely crazy we see very Lt-
tie use in the erection of lunatic asylums. A
man that can call old Beast Butler a pure
man must have exceedingly queer notions in
regard to honesty or morality. 81

GRANT AND AMNEsrY.-The Supreme
Court of the United States recently decided
that the President had full complete and alb
solute power to pardon all offenses against the
Government and that such power cannot be
interferred with by Congress Grant in his
message pretended to be in favor of general
amnesty, and yet. when the bill came up in the
Senate. his righthand supporters and servile
tools in that body defeated the measure. If he
is really in favor of amnesty, and desires to
"let us have peace" why don't he issue proc
amation of general amnesty? 1t is within his
power to do it, and if he is sincere in his pro-
fessions, why ask Congress to do that which the
Supreme Court says he has the complete and
absolute power of doing himself1 Grant don't
want amnesty, is the only answer that can be
given. He must make some show of favorng
it, and accordingly he stuck recommends
ton in his message well knowing that his Sem
atorial lackeys would in accordance with his
private suggestions, defeat any effort in that
direction He is about as much in favor of
amnesty now as he was in 1870 when he
turned out of office every Federal oflice-h holder
in Missouri who favored the removal of the
political abilities of the Democrats of that
State.

BLOWN FROM CANNoNS.-The British Off
GERS in the East Indies still cling to the most
barbarous and inhuman method that conld be-
devised in furnishing the rebelious subjects OF
her majesty in that far.of' section of the world.
The London Times of February Ilth, in an ar
ticle under the heading of The Kooka Exc
cutions." says that information has been re-
cciyed ut the Home Office fixing the responsi-
bility of those executions and that after the
complete suppression of the mutiny, Deputy
Commissioner Cowan selected fifty men to be
shot. Upon the scene of execution one broke
away, ran at Mr Cowan, and was cut down
The others were blown from guns on Deputy
Commissioner Cowan's own responsibility
The unfecling wretch who could be guilty OF
such barbarity is not tit TO wear the British
uniform, or to occupy any position other than
that of convicted murderer on the scafiold ];
and if his government sustains him in his brutal
and inhuman conduct, it is enough TO damn the
British Government for all time to come Ty-
ing men TO the mouths of cannon, and blowing
them to pieces, in this age, is enough to con-
sign to eternal infamy the name of any nation
that would countenance any such 4 diabolical
proceeding.

THE INCOME TAX.-COngress. has failed
and refused to relieve the people from the odi-
Gus income tax, and we will be compelled to
fork over on our gains and profits of last year.
1t is about the most infamous tax ever levied
in this country, and per consequence the most
unpopular; yet, despite the universal demand
for It's repeal, which comes from all quarters
and from members of both political parties,
its provisions are to be still enforced. Grant
proclaimed that the safest way to procure the
repeal of an obnoxious law was by strict and
thorough enforcement of it, but we fail to per-
ceive that an enforcement of the infamous and
inquisitorial income tax law has brought forth
any fruits meet for repentance on the part
of our Congressional public servants. A
change of Administration alone will relieve the
people Of their oncrous burdens. The army of
ofice-holders appointed under the provisions of
that law constitute potent political weapon
in the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS administra-
ton; and one that viii not willingly be surren-
dered. especially when the incumbent is can
didate for reelection to the Presidency.

REJECTED ADDREssEs.-We e receveda few
days ago, pamphlet containing the memorial
to Congress, and the arguments of Mrs. Hooker,
Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony, before the
Senate Judiciary Committee in behalf of the
constitutional right of women to vote, with 4
request that we publish the same in full The
pamphlet only contains thirty pages, and con-
sderlng the size of our paper, we are aston
ished at the reasQnabieness of the request.
As we are not disciple of Mrs Woodruff, and
are old fogyish enough to believe that a wo-
mans constitutional rights consist in staying
at home and attending to her domestic duties,
instead of running around the country. making
speeches and propagating filthy free-ove doc
trnes, we therefore decline filling our columns
with such pernicious matter.

NUMBER. 20:
MULE ARTILLERY.
vt =
BY JOHN PHGNIx.


Out in a. Western fort, some time ago, the
major conceived the idea that artillery might be
used effectively in fighting with the Indians, by
dispensing with the gunlcarriage and fastening.
the cannon upon backs Of mules: So he AK
plained. his views, to the commandant, and it
was determined to try the experiment. A how
itzer was selected and strapped upon an ambu-
lance mule, with the smuzzle pointed toward
the tail. When they had secured thesgpn and
loaded it with ball cartridge, they led that calm
and steadfast mule OUT on the bluff, and set up
a target in the middle of the river to practice
at The rear of the smule was turned toward
the target, and be was backed gently up to the
edge of the bluff. The officers stood reund in
a semi-circle, while the major went up and In
serted timesfuse in the touch-hole of the how
itzer. When the fuse was ready. the major
lit it and retired. In a minute ar two the hith-
erto unruffled mule heard the fzzing back
there on his neck; and it made him uneasy.
He reached his head around to ascertain what
was going on, and as he did SO his body turned,
and the howitzer began to sweep the horrison.
The mule at last became excited, and his curl
osty grew more and more intense, and In a
second or two he was standing with his -four
legs in a bunch. making six revolutions min
ute, and the hoWitzer, understand, threatening
sudden death to every man within half "a mile.
The conmandant was observed to climb sud-
denly up tree; the lieutenants were seen
sliding over the bluff into the river, as if they
didn't care at all about the high price of uni
forms; the adjutant made good time toward the
fort; the sergeant began to throw up breast
works with his bayonet and the major rolled
over the ground and groaned. : In two OR three
minutes there was puff of smoke, a dull thud,
and the mule-oh! where was he? A solitary
iackass might have been seen turning success
i've back-solnersaults over the bluff, only to rest
at anchor finally, with bis howitzer at the bot
tom of the river, while the ball went off to-
ward the fort; hit the chimney in the Majors
quarters, ratified the adobe bricks down into
the parlor, and frightened the Majors wife in
to commissions. They do not allude to it now,
and no report Of the results of the experiment
was ever sent to the War Department.
