During the war a. Federal soldier
took fromathe house OF Gen. Joe Davis,
in Mississippi, an elegant album of
paintings, which wss the property of
Mrs. Jefferson Davis. The book was a
very elegant one, the paintings being
illustrations OF Chinese life. aud wsIe
executed in that country. It was pre-
ssnted to Mrs. Davis by the American
Minister to China, during the time that
Mr; Davis was Secretary of War. An
e1-Federal officer, learning these facts
concerning the album, recently OBJ
tained possession of it. and at once for
warded it to to it's owner. Ii there is
any other property held by similar
tenure, it is high time it was restored.
The confiscntion Of private property for
participation in the war, even by Co
vernment, hns become odious, and
where it is un)awfully held by individu-
ais without shadow of right or title
thereto, it is worse still.

County Judge.

A County Convention is called to
meet at the Court House in Lancas-
ter one week from tomorrow (March
l9lh) to nominate a Republican can
didate for County Judge. Judge
McGonigal has filed the office four
terms-l6 years and as far as we
have learned has given general salts
faction in the administration of his
official duties We understand that
the friends Of the Judge will urge his
denomination at the Republican Con :
vention. The name of Addison Burr,
E.q, of Lancaster, is also favorabIy
mentioned for the Office, who will
probably be the most prominent can
didste against the present incum bent.
Both gentlemen are we'll known TO
the people OF Grant county, who thus
enabled will vote intelligently in ex-
pressing q choice between them. 1t
is mentioned that l.. j. WooIley,
Esq, is also candidate for the nom.
ination, and will be supported by
some of the northern towns. 1t is
very much desired that the towns be
fully represented at the County Con
vention, to the end that the candi-
date selected may be the real choice
of the people.

criminate blame on all, whether
they voted for or against stealing
People ask, IF these members real
ly opposed the bill, why didn't they
fight IL IN every way, make speech
es and try some way TO defeat it ?"
1t may be thought by some that
Congressman all sat silent, hoping
for the increase Of their salaries, but
it is great error. When the change
was before the house asa blu was bit
terry opposed by many honest and
manly members. in speeches that
bad the true ring in them. And it was
defeated. But in the last hours of the
session, it was introduced as an
amendment to the General Appropri-
alton Bill a disgraceful way of
smuggling it in under q very diff.
ferent set of rules, under which all
debate was practically cut of, or lin.
tied to very few minutes. A number
Of members discussed it, but a speech
of three or five minutes was but lit
tie better than voting NO" and
nothing could be done, as there was
