exchange very truthfuliy says ut
is plain to everybody, whatever his po-
litical opinions, that the President has
taken the result Of the Ohio elections to
be auch an approval by public opinion
as sets him above public opinion. II Is
very seldom indeed in our whole history
that an act of d President has produced
such chorus of establishment and dis
gust from all quarters as that with which
the latest act of the President has been
greeted, and yet Mr.. Grant has gone
lengths in insulting the country beyond
the dreams of any one oi his predeces-
sors. The obscure benefactors whom he
could have named for the place, and
some of whom 1t is reported that he has
named, would have been protected from
the public indignation which descends
upon Chandler, who has been conspicu'
GUS by his indecencies, and never once
by anything else. 1t was from the first
out of the question that Chandler should
refuse to accept the place out of any re-
speCt for the public opinion upon which
his public appearances have formed a Be-
ries of outrages. His want Of character
is precisely of that sort which renders it
impossible that he should know what he
is, and be what he is. What his ap-
pointment shows is that the President of
the United States is tired of such con-
cessions as he has now and then made
under pressure to public decency, and
that he fully intends, whenever the
chance is offered to him, to fill the pub
lie service with the most disreputable
and incompetent men within the range
of his personal acquaintance"

AN extraordinary freak OF nature has
occurred at pass-a-p Outre, one of the
outlets OF the Mississippi river. Dur
ing the night Of the 2Sth ultimo, an
island, eight acres In area, rose up out
Of the deep, and now lies fully eight
feet high above the surrounding water.
The New Orleans Times says that the
previous day, where now the Island Is,
was an unbroken surface Of water,
without sign Of the event which
transpired during the night. The cir
cumstance has awakened much specu
lation rs TO the causes which produced
this truly remarkable result. The sud

GENERAL BEAUREGARD in his state
ment in reply to General Frank Sher-
mans Chicago speech, in which the
federal officer asserted that he was not
entitled to receive any invitation to
participate in the proceedings of the
grand army of the republic at its APP
preaching peace jubilee, is an entire
and complete vindication of himself
against the unjust aspersions attempted
to be cast upon his good name. Not
from any regard for the man mean
enough to stir again into n flame the
dying embers of the war, but out OF
self respect General Beauregard
very briefly and frankly states
the position he took in regard to the
conduct of the war as concerned fede-
raj prisoners. After the battle of
Manassas, when the federal govern
ment refused to recognize confederate
prisoners as prisoners of war, he advo-
Gated with Stonewall Jackson "war
to the knife" neither asking nor grant.
ing quarters, believing that the war
would thereby come sooner to an end
and with less destruction, finally, of
life and property. Notwithstanding
these views, he always treated his pric-
oners with humanity and proper con-
sideration, as thousands of them taken
at Manassas, Shiloh, Charleston,
Drury's Bluff Bermuda Hun
dreds and Petersburg can testify. After
the fall of Fort Sumter he granted to
the garrison the same considerable
terms which he had offered before at
lacking; through his intercession the
federal surgeons and ministers taken
at Manassas We're released without ex-
change; means were furnished federal
officers from his private funds; at
Charleston he authorized Admiral
Dahlgreen to send stores and supplies
to the prisoners, and those supplies and
stores were scrupulously issued to them;
and at Bermuda Hundreds, when
passing in front of q large body of fed
eral prisoners he had taken gallantly
defending position which he consid-
cred indispensable, he took of his hat
to them and they answered his saluta-
tion with cheers. Terribly as he de-
sired the effects of the war to fall on
the combatants and the army follow
ers and bummers, who were ever the
curse of all armed invasions, he always |
advocated the exemption of non-com.
batants from the rigors of war, and the
protection from seizure and destruction
of private property not needed by the
contending armies in the field nor con-
traband Of war. Speaking of General
Sherman's onslaught, General Beaure-
gard truthfully observes that in this
section of the country such ebullitions
Of animosity are confined to those who,
during the war, were furthest from the
enemy, gathering up the spoils in the
wake Of the contending armies. Is not
General Frank Sherman one of these
despicable characters?

New Trick ut Monte.

Among the thousand and one incl
dents that go to make up the variety
and adventure Of railway travel, no
thing is more exciting or inore likely
to be remembered than witnessing the
turning of three-card monte trick,
and the invarlable fleeing of green
horns that follows. The passengers on
the M. and b. this morning had the
pleasure of witnessing the introduction
of an unusual feature into the little
game.
A monte man with capper took the
train Mt Kearney, and kept an eye out
for business. The train filled up as il
passed the stations with village mer-
chants and farmers, and if there hadn't
been any conductor the monte sharper
would have reaped a rich harvest. AT
last, however, the temptation grew too
strong to be resisted, and he spread
out his little game. A brawny gran
ger sat near him, and Monte obligingly
explained to him the mysteries of the
aforesaid game. The granger concluded
that he saw through it, and was easily
induced to bet ten dollars, which he
won. In handling his pocket book he
displayed roll of greenbacks that
made Monte's eyes glsten. The game
went on, and several turns were made,
granger winning two out of three--the
stakes being laid on the sill of the car
window. The granger became excited
and wanted to bet hundred dollars.
Monte didn't want to bet very much,
but he finally got mad and told Gran
ger that he could scoop him to the
amount of five hundred, but maybe
Granger was just blowin'-perhaps he
hadn't as much nerve as he let on.
Granger lowed he didn't know much |
about nerve, but what he knowed he |
knowed; and he knowed whar that |
card was just five hundred dollars |
worth. A thousand dollars was placed |
on the window sill amid the breathless
silence of the spectators who crowded
around. The granger unbuttoned his
vest, Strengthened in his seat and
turned up-the wrong card. Monte
reached for that thousand dollars very
vigorously, but just as his hand rested
on the money, the granger's hand
rested on his, and ten-inch bowie
blade appeared simultaneously from
some mysterious compartment of the
granger's wardrobe. Monte suddenly
paused In his money making career,
and the remaining two cards were
turned over with the point of the
knife, and none of them was the card
granger had bet upon.
"Ihat looks like swindlin,n re-
marked the son of toll, "and never
allow no man to play game on me
Unfair" and the knife descended slowly
towards the wrist of the gambler, but
when 1t reached the precise locality
where blood might be expected to flow,
he offending hand was withdrawn,
