speech Of General Gordon, of Goor.
gia, in tho Senate to-day on tho sala.
ry question was listened to with great
attention, especially that portion of
1t which partook of tho nature of a
personal explanation, and which re-
ierrcd to the surrender Of General
Lee at Appomattox. Mr.. Gordon
made it because, he said, ho had been
charged with being influenced by
personal prejudice against the Ad-
ministration.
He said ho was ono of those who
held command in tho Confederate
army when it surrendered to General
Grant at Appomattox, and until that
tlmo he hod never known what grief
was. Tho negotiations occupied
four days and four nights, and during
all that time not ono word of cxulta-
tlon escaped tho lips of the Federal
commanders. In fact, they evadod
all conversation relative to battles in
which the Union arms had boon auo-
cessful, and spoke only of those on
gagcmcnts in which they had been
defeated. 1t sank deop. into his
hoart, and ho mentioned tho fact to
prove that lie was not personally
hostile TO President Grant.

Eucroaching civilization appears
to have scalod tho doom of buffalo on
tho plains. For the past two wears
indiscriminate slaughter has been
going on, and millions of these ami.
mails have been sacrificed simply for
their hidos. A correspondent came
upon ono spot whore were counted
$500 caroasses Of buffalo from which
the hidos only had been stripped.
Only short distance further on q
hundred more carcasscs woro discov-
cred, and, in fact, tho plains were
literally dotted With putrcfying buff
falo carcasses. 1t is estimated that
there arc at least 1000 hunters in
camps waiting for the buffalo. One
party of sixteen killed $4,000 buffa-
ioes during the past summer, the
hides of which only utilized. There
arc no buIfaioes to bo seen on the
plains except dead ones, and, hunt q
much as much ns they may, tho
sportsmon cannot at prosont find any

betake themselves to their dwelling
and settle themselves for the night.
The hens then come home to roost on

shuts down the door Of all the hives.
