by all who witnessed the trial, that they per.

The grain in which the trial was made wa,
as good as could have been found for a true

twisted in others, light and heavy, in fact in

The "Cayuga Chief'' was the first called

well but not getting the height of cut ex-
actly to suit the grain, had to stop and lower
platform, after which it did well. Next came
the "Llttle Champion" followed by a crowd
of admirers. This is comparatively new

the "Kirby,n which was exceedingly well

the field by the judges, who watched every
motion with scrutinizing eye, that no fault
IN any might escape unnotlced. This was
not done without fatigue on the part of the
Judges, Tor 1t certainly was most labor ious

After giving all machines fair and Impair

the agents TO change the machines from reap

MADISON, Wis, Juno Fl 1t is un-
derstood that, in consequence of the
supposed dissatisfaction in the Uni
versity, whether we'll or i'll founded,
toward its President, there was some
discussion on the subject of change
during meeting of the Regents this
week, and, while no definite action
was taken, for fear Of misconstruc-
ton, it was agreed informally that
as soon as the President could make
other arrangements, the Board would
be at liberty to look tor a successor.
No one doubts the Presidents earn

Ii WIS Il fiji ting and graceful thing that the
Hon. Horace Maynard OF Tennessee should
have introduced the bill of amnesty and OBJ
liviom which few days ago passed the House
of REPRESENTATIVES,, and will soon 90 through
the Senate. 1t was in accordance with the re-
auest of the Southern Loyaists that those
severe and proscrptiye measures were
adopted which for time kept every man OF
the least social or political prominence in the
South out of Congress, and 1t was altogether
proper that from the same quarter should
come the final proposition for their repeal.
They were, perhaps, never necessary, though
they seemed so to us, rs to almost all others
who had at heart the preservation of the
fruits of the war and the protection OF the
freed people in the rights and privileges
guaranteed to them by the nation. 1t was the
result of the long habit Of suspi-
cion and distrust, which is the worst
consequence of civil wars, that the mass Of
the people could not be made to believe it
was sdfe to allow the people OF the South to
elect whom they desired TO represent them
at Washington, and to administer their public
affairs at home. This feeling was almost uni
yersal at the North; but at the SOuth 1t was
far more fierce and passionate in its intensity.
The gathering Of Southern LOyalists which
followed the Philadelphia Convention gave
expression to this unreasOning panic OF
distrust, which by its cOntagiOn affected the
entire mass of the Republican party, and pro-
longed for four years virtual state OF war
between the victOrs and the vanquished in
the Southern and Border States.

restless vanity which proved so injurious to
his successor. lie wanted peace, and might
have done great deal to obtain it. His in

They thought the times demanded firmcr

imagined they saw indications OF these
qualities in the Tennessee L0yalst who was
making an average of six speeches day IN
the Treasury Department, calling hoarsely Tor
the punishment of traitors. There never was
"a greater mistake. Mr.. johnson never hated
treason so much as he hated his enemies, and
when he began to quarrel with Congress, and
the leading Southern people began to grow
civil to him, all the energies of his vindlctlve
nature were turned TO fighting his old allies
and defending his old adversares. He was

CH4STISIyG A PARSOy

The very idea of a clergyman fogged in his
own temple, and in the presence of his own
congregation. is startling one and when
preachers were moro highly regarded er o.ficio
and not upon the ground of their personal
merits. such castigatiOn at the altar would
have had about it SAVIOR of blasphemy. The
minister who has been fustigated dispenses
religion near Preston, England. We are told
that before entering upon his sacred du-
ties he was in the iron trade, which
NAV account for tho hardness of his
heart: but abandoning the bars and
the pigs, this gentleman took to preaching,
apparently to n dissenting flock. For reasons
Of his own, he did not deem it desirable to
inform his parishioners that he was already
married, and acting precisely as If he were
upincumbcred, he mitigated the austerities Of
bis pastorate by making love to cOmely
vounp sister with avOwed intentions of the
most honorable variety. But the course of
faIse love runs no smoother than the course of
true. The reverend Lothario and the lady
had a falling out, and she, for consola.
t;on. permitted tho addresses of another
and A secular wOoer. To him doubtless,
in tbs confidence of love, she told the
story Of the parsons falsehood and fate
favored the conspiring couple. In some way
the information reached them that the love-
making preacher had already a wife. A wife
aged 40 years. She was found. The story of
her lords gallantry was related to her. The
three entered into a conspiracy-the lassio

majority purchased by their abandonment-
