it would appear, from the telegraphic an-
nouncement that his accusers regard nm as
manifesting as much culpability at the time
of the battle of Forbach as during the siege
OF Metz Although the feeble character OF
the Marshal rendered him unfit for an indie
pendent charge almost all authorities tend
70 show that the disasters previous to the
battles around Metz were chiefly due to the
inter incompetency of the late Emperor, who
then believed himself capable of exercising

Wheels Within WheeIs-ReveIatfOn
of the Presidential Canvass Last
Fall.
New YORK, April 17.-At the Erie
investigation to-day Charles P. Shaw
testified as to $I,250 paid him for
services in effecting the revolution in Erie.
He related conversation had with General
Sickles, who thought the result could be
effected for $4,000. Witness told Sickles
he was mistaken as to what was the politi-
cal power of the State of New York, and
that if he attempted to defeat Jay Gould
through fiction Of the Republican party,
he would find be had been assent from the
country a long while aud had lost the track
of the elements Of power; that the custom
house party just triumphed by few votes
in electing Henry Smith Speaker, but the
real power in the House was faction led
by Gov. Alvord. He then appeared very
anxious to conciliate the Fenton-Greeley
faction, and urged that they should shake
loose from the Gould party and adopt a
uniform platform, 60 in for impeachment,
etc., take the wind out of the sails of the
other faction, aud with the banner of re-
form born aloft, march into the turning out
| of the Gould directors, and thus prove the
purity of the Republican party. He said
this would be good for the party and good
for the country. / saw Gov. Fento1 in
Washington , and he approved ths matter;
then saw Alvord here and he was ready to
meet and cooperate with Gen. Sickles.
There was the difficulty at the start which
l anticipated. Gen. Barlow and Gen.
Sharpe, it appeared, wsn,ed to monopolizs
ali the reform. They did not want to take
hold of the Attorney Generals reforms.
These matters were going on when the
coup d'etat took place.
Mr.. Babcock-Did Gen. Sickles ever tell
you what he had personally expec ed to gain
by his factor.
Witness-Wel, that is question which
don't think the committee ought to press.
Il is going into private professional matters
which have no connection with corruption
and is wrong.
Psychological Detective.
Thos. q. Award, being sworn, stated that
Gen. Sickles came here through last wit
ness and intimated he wanted conference
with me. The interview was almost ex-
clusively concerning political matters and
the harmony of the Republican party. he
seemed to come on behalf of the authori-
ties at Washington, and appeared 10 re
very desirous of effecting harm ony in the
Republican party. Never was told by him
that money was used for legislation. Heard
it as common Tumor. Have no positive
knowledge of a legislator receiving money,
but am positive nevertheless that money
was used. think could 90 into the
House and point out at least half dozen
men who receive money. 1t may be that
am possessed of a psychological faculty
through which l am informed, but, how
ever it was, am certain that men did re-
ceive money. My experience and observa
ton his been such that l am able to judge
who would and who would not receive
money. Judge by Their conduct and by
their physiognomy. There are 10 or 20
persons here every winter who have no Wis
ibie means tosupport except that of looking
after the legislature.

DLscouraged or Disgusted
From the Chattanooga Times.


We are panied TO learn that our friend
Crutchfeld, Congressman elect, has already
grown weary Of the ways that are dark,
practiced by those high in authority. Uncle
Bill was not well pleased with the result OF
the last furry over cur postofice. Whether
he cared much or little for "his man." his
man didn't get the Office. And whether the
scandalous way in which be Was snubbed or
personal friendship for, and obligations to,
the asplraut he recommended has most 10
do with 1t, certain it is, that our Uncle does
not, as we are credibly informed, cherish a
burning love for Creswell. And it is limited
that bis resentment Of the slight put upon
him In the reinstatement of Kindrick, does
not expend all its force on the Postmaster
General. He really seems to think our ex-
cellent Chief Magistrate is not wholly
blameless Ia the matter. As the lawyers
say, we are informed and believe that Mr..
Crutchheld lately receiVeda a communication
from the Postmaster General asking advice
and assistance IN matters pertaining TO sew
eral minor postoffices in this district,
This, after the treatment he had received
at the hands of the President and the De-
partment, was very properly considered by
Mr.. G. as q gross insult, and he referred the
letter back with an endorsement to the
effect that, inasmuch as he had not been
allowed to control the appoinlment-of post
master for the Office where he received his
own mails, perhaps the Department would
be able in ther matters affecting other Of
fees in bis district TO find wiser and better
advice where it had before been sought: TO
wit, among those who had sigualized their
deVoyt on to ''the party" by voting against
him, I'D for "Rebel Colonel"

Everybody is now thinking about the
Vanderbilt University, and some have
given their "thinking" TO the public; and if
you, Mr.. Editor, see fit 10 give the aloud to
o. some Of my "thiukings," here they are:
- And IN regard to these ''thinkings,' am
reminded of an intery ew, in 1S4O, in the
book store of Mr.. Eichaum, had
with the Rev. DR.. p. Linds-
n ley President of the Nashville
. University. had opened to him my plan
of proposed "activities" in regard to the
Nashville Femsl3 Academy-theR as a day
sci oil, inferior to some private schools in
the city, and as boarding school not known
wi b favor anywhere. His reply was,
placing his shining black kid gloves on the
golden head Of his cane, 81 am
at the Nashville University, and if
the world choose TO 90 on ignorant
NO of the fact, let it do So" Unfortunately
for Nashville, the world did choose to go on
ignorant Of the fact that so profound a
scholar and accomplished a gentleman did
have the control of the Nashville Uni
versity. . ..
Now, if the Board Of Trust see fit to dis
regard my ''thinkings," 50 much the worse
for them. We school masters have this sd-
vantage: our "thinkings" are in the pres
ence of Children, and our action upon such
'thinkings" are usually unopposed; hence if
o. nobody else is pleased, we ourselves are
apt to be satisfied with our own "think
ings."

be located? l have thought to ask friends
not to trouble me about this matter, as l
had nothing to say, and no influence with
The powers that be.
Their opinions of their localities remind
a me of this incident: l was at the home of
Mr.. Jas. Bright, in Fayetteville, when our
army began their retreat from ShelbyvilIe
and rullahoma. One day a fat, hearty, cd
lady, in her dsrbun well filed with her
household gods, and, as l understood,
from Bedford county drove up to this hos
.Tpitable home, in those days everybody's
home, and / overheard the following con-
versation:
PA Mr.. Bright-Mrs. D., what did leave
your comfortable home for? To wander you
know not where?
Mrs. Dwell, Uncle Jimmie, to tell you
th truth, ,righ. in front of my house, have
a large meadow, and have thought q
thousand times that that was the most
beautifullest place in the world to fight a
battle, and have no doubt, Mr. Bragg and
RoseEcranZ are coming right there to fight
their battle, and l was afraid l might get
hurt.
My friends who have places to sell or TO
give viii understand that their opinion of
their ''sights" will, as l think, not have
much influence with Gems. Bragg and
Rosecrans, ard L advise that they do not
give themselves or their friends any more
trouble about the location of this university.
