: The Government, in view of eventual
tiles, is about to commence the work Oh
strengthening the Southern fortifca'
lions. Il is understood that orders have
been issued for the. overhauling OF the
harbor defenses at Charleston, involving
important changes and the expenditure
Of a large amount Of money. Forts
:Moultrie and Sumter are about to re-
eeiye their proper armament, and the
work of mounting thirty or forty heavy
gnps in those works is under contract,
and will probably be begun tomorrow.
Fort Moultrie is in good repair, but Fort
snmter will require q vast amount OF
work to make it once more the key to
the harbor. One hundred men. constr
tate the working force of Colonel Lud-
low of the United States engineers,
who will at once commence operations
in building extensive and formidable
earthly ,rks and otherwise strengthen the
Notifications Of Fort Pulaski, near Sa-
vapuah The working plans are looked
for by every mail, when the force EN-
ployed will at once be dispatched to
Fort Pulaski. Barracks for the quar-
tering of one hundred laborers arctic be
erected outside Of the fort, when the
work of throwing up extensive earth
works in the V of the fort will be imme-
diately commenced. Guns of fifteen
inch calibre are to be mounted. The
work, aside from the equipments, is to
cost s26, 900, and II is surmised that in
view of the present aspect OF affairs, es'
peeially the complications with Spain,
the work of further strengthening Pu-
laski, in addition to the earth batteries
will be continued by the government,
Transforming them into oas OF the
strongest forts on the Atlantic coast.

THE HYPOCRISY.

We alluded yesterday to Morton, the
nouth-piece Of Grant in the senate. We
also alluded to Senator Humans re-
ply to his recent infamous speech. The
Washington correspondent Of the Louis
vile Ledger writes under date Of the
2sd: Mr.. Thurman justly character
lied Morton's speech as the ery-note Of
the Grant Republicans FOR the ensuing
campaign. They intended to continue
to strip all the base passions engendered
BY The war, and for the sake Of party
triumph to still keep the iron heel upon
the persecuted and oppressed people Of
the South. The hypocrisy Of Grant i
thus laid bare. While pretending to Be
for civil service reform and for amnesty
his miDions in congress, At his instiga
ton are resolved TO strange both. Mr.
Thurmac laid bare the whole scheme
and in 8 magnificent effort exposed al
of Morton's sopbistries and pointed GU
sAai the principls involved in Sumner
biH would precipiiAte the government
snto tuarchy.

A Piute Trick.

The Humboldt Silccr State gives the
following:
During the last year. a band Of six-
teen hundred horses, the property Of
John Sutherland, have been running
at large In this county. They range
In small bands through the mountains
and valleys north aud south OF the
Humboldt river. An enterprlslng
Piute of a speculative turn Of mind
conceived the Idea Of appropriating q
few Of the horses to his own use. He
entered into the business with a will,
and displayed much native tact and
energy In conducting 1t. He caught
one Of the largest horses. rode 1t
through the mountains tor a few days,
then brought 1t to U~uiouville and sold
1t to a teamster. His first venture
proving a success. he repeated the OPP
Grafton and sold another. Aud now
comes j. n. Thacker, agent OF John
Sutherland, and claims the horses.
He Instituted proceeding to replevy
them. The case was tried this week
In Justice Evans Court and resulted
In judgment for plaintiff. The noble
red man has skedaddled, and at this
date Is supposed to be %rusticating at
the Capital.
