R0thefnel's Battle Of Gettysburg
How the Great Picture was Saved.

To the Editor Of the Chicago Tribune:
SIR-Many reports have been circulated through
out the press in regard to the fate of Rothemels
picture, but they have all been so foreign, one to
upon the subject, and the public is undecided as
to whether it is saved atall. am aware that you
have not room in your columns for q long story,
SO will state the facts in few words as possible.
The picture is safe and in my possession, and am
now waiting to meet ROthermel. superintend-
ed the whole matter, and took every precautiOn
to have the picture removed without injury, and
would add that the picture was not cut from the
stretcher, neither torn into strips and carried from
er papers, but was carefully rolled up and carried
from the building to the lake shore, where guard
ell it, at the peril of my life, from the cnders and
plundering mObs; covering my face and hands
with wet clothes, to protect myself from being
overcome by the heat. The falling of the cinders
was terrible. The drapery wrapped around the
picture to protect it was entirely consumed by the
fire, caused by falling cinders. am happy to in
form you that the picture received injury at all
except q small rent in the canvass, which can be
easily repaired.
also rejoice in in the possession of all other
pictures in the Academy Of design gallery that
were any account Mr.. W. H. Downing, with
whom shared a part of my studio in the Acad-
envy, stood by me in this emergency from begin
ming to end; and, while guarded the large pic
ure on the lake Shore at the foot of Adams street.
,eeded in saving all the pictures of any value.
Rothermeps Gettysburg will have q greater
eputatiOn now than ever, and thousands more
will be eager to see it. 1t will soon he removed
o the State Capitol of Pennsylvania, and the ma
ion will rejoice that the greatest and randest of
ii its art treasures is safe. Yours, truly,

The jackson Rule.

General jackson was the first president who
made partizan support of the administration one
OF the requisite fur appointments to Office, and
every democratic newspaper and all the demo-
cratic statesmen and politicians sustained and ap-
Piawded that policy. Gov. Marcy said, I" to the
victor belong the spoils." Who ever heard of .
democratic president appointing q republican to
Office. Did Jacksons Did Van Buren, TYLER
was hermaphrodite politician, around whom
gathered all the cormorants of all shades They
hattered and befooled the old fellow with promises
Of his reelection until he had hybrid of poll
ticians in Office, no two of whom agreed upon any
thing except drawing their salaries. They made
ocratic convention that that body was going to
nominate him. When be failed to get Q vote
there, they made him believe they would hold .
convention Of their own, and set him right back
IN the presidential chair. Their object WAS the
spails Of ofce, and they succeeded admirably with
Tyler, but most Of them died with their benefac-
Tor: Their policy bad too much hypocracy in it
to he printable.
The wh,le democratic party are now bowling
without regard to party But once let him At
tempt TO Z. political shades in Office and there
would he no harmony in the administration Il
would be q babel of confusion, which would dis
gust the preside nt's old friends, without making
q single new one; and after the president should
be defeated, many Of those who held positions I'M
der him, wonld clali favors with the new admin
istrstion, On the ground that they had circum-
vented republican president, by means of the

rhe Delaware Whipping.POSt.CO
gresham Biggs Corrected.

In recent speech Of our congressman, Mr.
Biggs, who can raise as many peaches per acre
the next man, and doesn't get frightened il the
market is little dull made a very serious error
He assured the house that: $50 far as the State of
Delaware is concerned, and especially Us regards
the whipping post, that is an instution which We
ourselves to-day are proud Of. 1t has only been
established for felons, and scoundrels and thieves
and robbers; and to the glory of the State be it
said, that no man has been caught back at it q
second time after he has been once properly
whaled."
Now, the fact is, that it is a common thing for
cent session Of court, one LhttOn was whipped
for larceny, who had been lashed at the same post
by the "cat-onine-tails," !" not less than twice or
thrice previously. Luton said he had ceased to
care for the punishment, and he had evidently
lost all sense of humiliation OF shame. We un-
dertake to say that if any carful examination is
made of the court records, and the sheriff-s re-
cords (f they keep any), that it will be found at
least one-fffh, if not one-fourth, of the whppngs
annually, are inflicted on persons who had been
30 punished previously. No statistics of crime
are collected or published in the State. Nobody
knows the precise facts figures, but the friends
Of the lash, the admirers of the whipping-post.
(among whom We grieve to see a humane and
civilized gentleman like Mr.. Biggs) have long
made the bold and unfounded claim that people
sumption were exploded, and we hear take occa-
sion to do The statement is not true and the
records will show its falsity! We say again, that
though the last and the "convicts jacket" system
have the effect of driving many of our criminals
into other States many do come back to the whip
plng-post to be lashed q second time, and even
Oftener.

Redemption Of MutiIated Currency

Redemption Of Mutilated Currency.
Important changes in the regulations govern
ing the redemption of defaced and mutilated cur
rency of the United States went into effect JAN
uary l, 1UI.
After that date, defaced and mutilated United
states notes and fractional currency instead of
being rcdeemable as now by the Treasurer of the
United States, subject to discount for mutilation
are redeemable at their full face value in new
notes or currency by the Treasurer the several
assistant treasurers and designated repositories
OF the United States and all national bank depos-
itories, and will be received ct their full face val
ne BY all officers of the Treasury Department in
payment of currency dues TO the United States
provided that three-ffths of the original proper.
tl0ns Of each note is presented in one piece
Fragments less than fve-eighths will be redeem
able only by the Treasurer Of the United States
Ii more than half and less than 6ve-eighths ia
presented, half Of the face value will 6e paid.
Less than half note will be redeemed only on
afndavit that the missing portion has been total
ly destroyed.
Under the new rules, any person, firm, bank,
corporation, or public officer will be permitted to
forward FIVE dollars and upward in fractional
currency, and fifty dollars aud upwards in legal
tender notes for redemption to the Treasurer by
express, at the expense Of the department, un-
der the Government contract with Adams Ex-
press Company. Heretofore nothing less than
500 was entitled to transportation At Govern
ment expense.
A circular embodying these changes is now pre-
parlng in the Treasurer's Office.
Ihe officers Of the Treasury are determined to
remove all cause for complaint concerning the
condition of the United States currency, and to
mat end have concluded to extend to ali the most
LIBERAL facilities for its redemption. 1t is expect
81 at the Department that the new rules will re-
suit In speedy and marked improvement in the |
condition of the currency.

II 10 fortunate, says the Albany Ers.;ss Journal
that the voiuminous preamble to Mr.. Summers
one.ss.n amendment cannot in any event be en-
bodied In the constitution-else al the text books
with that venerable document would be in0rai-
nately expanded. Whist Tom Benton called .

In the heart of . preamble. For the whole prop
0ettl0n We move . substitute, shorter and more to
the point, - follow:
Whereas, the American people have reelected
such Presidents - Washington Jefferson, Msdi-
con, Monroe, Jackson and Lincoln, and reelected
noneof the Les worthy Chief Magistrates, refusing
al but one or two Of them even . reorganization,
thus showing just discrimination and reasonable
saeacity; and,
Whereas, If the ambition for reelection ami
mates President, he can do nothing 20 well cal
culated to accomplish that object as 10 pursue the
commend him to the confidence and approval Of
the people, thus supplying an inducemeut to good
conduct instead Of misconduct and abuse of trust;
and,
bility to one term proceeds upon the assumption,
first, that the President will rely for re-electiou
upon the Office holders second that the fifty or
hundred thousand Office holders sre more potent
than tie six millions of voters; and third, that
bad conduct will serve him bettar than GoOd-an
argument absurd in its reasoning and prrposter-
ous "a: iii;s claims and,
Whereas, experience has Taught that there may

Lancon aud il is ridiculous for free and intelli-
gent people to bind themselves that they will un-
der no circumstances choose for q second term o
statesman whom they deemed worthy of one !;
therefore,
Resolved, That the one term principle is illogi-
cal in reasoning, unsupported by history, unfound
ed in facts, worthy ouly of the week who fear to
trust themselves, and unworthy of great, free,
virtuous and intelligent people who are capableof
self government, and who ought to be a. well

UPHILL WoRK.-The great Anti Grant combi-
nation appears to be making very poor headway.
The men who were announced n its leaders, and
who were to give it ts chief claim TO respectable
ity, are one by one dropping out of its ranks and
disclaiming any connection with il. Senator
Trumbull, refuses to act the part assigned to him
in the programme; Senator Sumner, hesitates to
fire off his big gun in the shape of Zone term" "
amendment to the Constitution, and even Horace
Greeley, perhaps miffesl at the subordinate part
which he was to be allowed to play in the farce,
stigmatizes the whole combination rs "back-
stairs" arrangement, with which he will have
nothing to do The plan of the campaign, 50 far
as it has yet been made public, is 80 puerile that
1t Is NO wonder any man Of reputation hesitates
to indorse it. And yet it is probaly ~ good .
plan as can he devised to accomplish q purpose
SO little sought by the great masses of the peo-
pie. 1t furnishes the best proof in the world of
the weakness of the opposition to Gen. Grant, and
of the absurdity of any combination among Re
publicans to defeat his reelection. While con-
Tossing that the main strength of the combina-
tion is to come from the Democratic party. the
soreheaded Republicans hesitate to admit the
Democracy to an open alliance with them. That
the Democratic party should, for one moment,
countenance programme that places them in
such hnmiliating attitude, only shows the
depth Of degradation to which the party has
sunk, 1t they are to furnish all the fighting ma
terial why should they not have something to saw
in laying out the plan Of the campaignfGN Y.

"PHocroN."-A few months ago We had the
pleasure Of publishing the obituary of Colonel j.
w. Howard, aiids PhOcian," one Of the most per-
sistent and irrepressible dead beats" that ever
infested the western country, - railway compan-
les, hotel keepers newspaper publishers and others
can testify. We published the item at tho time
with grave doubts - TO its truth, the announce
n,ent being based upon the fact Of finding How
ards clothes upon the hank Of the Platte with at
tendant circumstances leading to the idea of sui
eide. The body wasn't found until recently, and
seems to have driftod down the Platte and Mis-
souri,, and up the Mississippi and Illinois to Pco-
ria, where it has turned up again, but whether
without clothes or the contrary s not stated, nor
does it make much difference. We have only the
following tri6nG incident in his history, but it is
sufficient to establish the identity of the corpse
beyond the shadow of doubt:
"Colonel J. w. Howard, formerly political edi-
tor Of the Peoria Trsssvipt, was arrested Monday
in Peoria, on the charge Of bigamy. He married
. Miss Anna Jordan, daughter Of . lawyer at Ber-
nandotte, Fulton county, though much against
the will of her father. Since then the father has
been examining into the former life of Howard,
and claims to have found that be had wife liv-

During the year just closed elections ofsuficient
importance to determine the general political
complexion of the voting population have been
held in twenty four of the States of the Union.
Of these States seventeen pronounced in favor of
the Republican party, and seven for the Demo-
cratic. In 1870 the remaining thirteen States all
held general elections, excepting Georgia, which
voted for United States Congresmen alone, includ-
ing Georgia, eight of the 1870 elections were de-
termined in favor Of the Democracy, and Eve for
us.
These results, although not of course, controll-
ing the coming election for President yet are suf-
fcicntly Indicative Of the political tendencies of
the country to afford valuable data for work and
calculation.
Admitting to the Democratic party the electo-
raj vote of every State carried by them during two
years past, the ballot of the Electoral College
would be as follows:
