There are many persons who think
the above a better offer than Mai.
Curtis has made. They say that
the gross fees of the Office this
year, have been only between ten and
eleven hundred dollars last year four
teen hundred They say that Maj. Cur.
lis will have to pay one hundred dollars a
month for three months, for suitable man
to do the business. and that this, with rent
of office, fuel: gas, advertising, stationary etc,
will probably run the cost of collecting up
to $400-perhaps more. If the commits
sions should not be more than $1,000, and
the cost of collecting be $500, there would
be left 5000 for the library at the end o,
the coming gear Many friends of the H.
brary think it would be better to have a
definite sum fixed and have the money in
advance, and use it to buy new books now
than to wait a year for it, and not
know precisely how much they will get
then. These suggestions the people will
consider and then act as their Judgment
shall dictate Either of the gentlemen
named would be a reliable and excellent
officer.

THE WIFE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE
In Cincinnati they tell little story
about Mrs. Chief Justice Waite
About a month ago, before General
Grant had preached Mr.. Waite's name
to the though General Grants
first cholce-but before anything was
thought of the matter by the Waites,
Mrs. Waite wrote an article on cook
cry for the Cincinnati Gazette. The
article was signed "Yankee Cook Girl"
1t was full of sound suggestion on the
cookery question, and replete with
good advice to lIousekeepers. The ar
ticle from the "Yanlee Cook Girl" ar
rested so much attention that finally a
rich old widower in Cincinnati wrote
to Sam Reed, the editor, that he would
be glad to give the "Yankee Cook Girl"
stuatiOn-not as servant. but SHE
might preside over his household. In
fact he offered marriage. Mr.. Reed
had to answer in paragraph that the
"Yankee Cook Girl" was not in the
market, she having got situation in
neighboriug city. The people of Gin
cinnati don't know even now that the
"Yankee Cook Girl" was Mrs. Waite,
the sensible and practical wife of the
new Chief Justice, and that her new
is to be the highest in the
land-chief mistress in Uncle Sans

Petition Of EX-Admiral Semmes.

I
Senator Gordon, who was a noted
leader in the late civil war, holding
his commission under Gen. Lee in all
his operations, has had referred to the
Judiciary Committee a bill to remove
the disabilities of. Raphael Semmes,
the commander of the Confederate shin
Alabama. In his petition applying
Tor pardon, Semmes says "The I'M
dcrsigned respectfully shows unto your
honorable bodies that prior to the late
war between the United States he was
a commander in the navy of the Uni
TED States, domiciled in the State Of
Alabama, of which State he has been
=" citizen for number of years; that
IN a contest of allegiance between his
State and the Federal Government, he
believed his allegiance to be ultimate
y due to his State; that when his
State seeded he felt himself in honor
bound to follow her fortunes for better
OF for worse; that his State did secede.
and that upon tile happening of that
event he rendered his resignation to
the then Secretary of the navy, who
we'll knew the object of the tender, and
that his resignation was acceptel.-
That being by such acceptance reliev-
ed from his obligations to the Federal
Government which grew out of his
late commission he returned to the
State which he believed was entitled
to his allegiance, took mp arms in her
defense and defended her and the Con
tederate States, of which she had be-
come a member, to the best of his abil-
lty. That at the close of the war he
retired to private life, and has since
become a citizen of the United States.
having, as a voter of Alabama, sworn
to support and defend the constitution
OF the United States and the union of
the States. Having thus renewed his
allegiance to the Federal constitution
In good faith he desires the prompt
and entire oblivion, except in so far as
history may deal with the subject of
the late differences between the two
sections. He has the natural affection
of an American citizen for the land of
his birth aud the same pride as former
'y, in the glory and prosperity Of his
country and of his whole country, and
lie now requests your honorable bod
les to remove the political disabilities
under which he has so long labored,
and restore him to the free en-
brace of the only country which can
claim him, and the only country
which he cares to claim.
Respectfully,
RAPHEAL SEMMEs.
