cunning peasant accordingly drove his dog

a monstrous rock, determined to destroy the

and when they came to the wine, dusty
old bottle was carefully decantered by Peter

he poured out Mr. Wehster's glass and
handed it to him. Then pouring another
for himself, he held it to the light and said !:

"Now you can't guess what that cost

"Well, now I can tell you, for I made a
careful estimate the other day. When adj
ded the interest to the first price, [ find
that it cost me the sum of just one dollar
and twenty cents per glass.
Good gracious you don't say SO, said
Mr.. Webster; and then draining his glass
he hastily presented it again with the re-
mark:

We also understand that the new organ

construct short branches or feeders, especi-
ally where adjacent towns or villages are
likely to furnish sufficient business, and

GRANT as a Ixidnapper.

President Grant does not seem to be
meeting with much success in holding the
victims he has so lawlessly kidnapped. The
supremacy of the military over the civil
law having expired with the late session Of
Congress, United States District Judge
Bryan, of South Carolina, granted II writ
of HabeGs Corpus in behalf Of Captain
Trezevant, as we have learned since the
article above, in relation to the calls upon
Governor Caldwell to procure the release
of that gentleman, was put i'll type. Upon
the examination OF the causes of his
arrest and detention in custody, there
being no evidence to implicatc him il
the semblance even of a crime,
Judge Bryan discharged Captain Treze-
want.

Caufafm Irrelevant.

The citizens and the press of Charlotte
are calling upon Governor Caldwell to vim
dictate the sovereignty Of North Carolina,
in the matter of the arrest Of Captain
Irrelevant. The printers waste their ink,
and the people waste their breath in
making these demands, unless Governor
Caldwell will take stronger action in the
case of Trezevant than he did in Tho case
of Allen Belts, Charles b. Blanton, and
the other citizens of this State who were
arrested and carried to South Carolina and
there imprisoned' The fecbleness Of his
efforts in thesr behalf subjected him to the
most whitening and scathing rcbukes by
tho Legislature and deseTedly too, for
his conduct Was,Aso slaHish that it made
North Carolinians blush to remember that
no was a native OF the State and her Gov
ernor. The action of the Legislature upon
the Governors Message detailing the
steps he had taken to secure the discharge OF
Bettis and others, was to pass resolution
authorizing the Attorney General Of the
State to apply to a Judge of the Supreme
Court OF Lnc Unltcu states 1Df u WITH OF
HtJeas Corpus, in behalf of citizens of the
State, arrested without warrant of law by
Federal authority. We learn that the
Attorney General has already moved in
the matter The liberty of the Citizen is
worth more in tho eyes of Conservative
Attorney General than it has heretofore
appeared to be worth in those of Radi-
cal Governor. -........
No Eastern despot ever had moro Pill
ant or subseryient tool than Governor Tod
r. Caldwell has proved himself to be to
President GRANT. Hence it was that we
were SO surprised that he was opposed by
GRANT when seeking a denomination for
Governor. Having thus fawned upon the
President and, as it were, licked the very
dust from his feet, and having boon uncere-
Enoneously kicked away, it is probable
Caldwell may now show little more
spirit. Unless we mistake the man, revenge
will make him pursue the course de-
manded by the honor of the State sooner
than patriotism. -, $500
