bnted To ELI Perkins are written by

Some Of tho Texas papers are
making themselves ridiculous warning
the people against hydr0phobia from
praches grown upon 0 tree near which
a hydrophoblc dog may be buried
Yon might as well say man would
commit murder who had eaten per-
simmons from n tree where Il murderer
was buried, or who ate blackberrios
growing around one's grave. - Houston

Vice President Wilson has been
talking very freely to n correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial. lie is
reported ~ saying that when he was
elected Vice President he went to Gen.
Grant and told him he ought to re-
move the obscure men who filled his
Cabinet and fill their places, as Lin
coin had done, with the greatest men
in the land. But the President re-
Piled; ayes, but Llncoln's Cabinet
was always fighting, and my Cabinet
officers do not fall out" Not disCour-
aged by this profound rejoinder, the
Vice President continued his advice,
urging that the ablest man in the coun-
Try he made Secretary of the Treasury,
even If he had to he taken from the
Democratic ranks. "After that talk"
says Mr. Wilson, "Gen. Grant put in
Richardson, Il man whom | refused to
acknowledge as one of the public men
of Massachusetts. He never had any
influence there, and we lost the key Of
the position by such u choice rs thatn
Governor Ames of Mississippi
should step to the front without delay.

Wells charged in II public speech that
Governor Ames melted the Nicksburg
riot, and that he remarked in the pres

"blood of twenty-five or thirty negroes
w0nld benefit the Republican party"

swered the damaging accusation. Col
