Political Draw Poker.

If the captain of Mississippi steam
boat, overlooking the game known as draw
poker, upon which the American minister
to the court of St. James has lately pub
hshed a lively and entertaining essay
should be appealed to BY passenger upon
whom gambler has just drawn four aces
from his sleeve, and should reply that he
did not want to be bothered with such
things, there might arise suspicion as tc
his fitness for his place. If he seemed OF
intimate terms with the gambler, and fire
quently winked at him 10 the progress o
the game, there might be suspicion tina
he was not wholly disinterested. The sus
picion would be likely to grow, it upon an
other plain cheat hecompelled the strange
to give up the stakes But il, after tn
bets were made on another deal, the gam
bier should deliberately turn over IN
whole pack and pick out four aces, whil
the captain called in the deck hands Z
stand over the passenger with clubs. whii'
tbe gambler raked down the money, tner'
wouId be no further doubt of COLLISION.
The passengers on another boat we know
If have pretty much made up their mind
that Cant. Grant is not an entirely disin
terested spectator of the game between
gambler kellogg and Louisiana, and ther
IS beginning to be some indignation mani
tested at it. But there's great wisdom
and wonderful discretion in the America
congress. 1t stands between the passen
gers and the captain and says, "Oh let u
be calm, gentlemen. There has undnubl
edly been cheating around the board, an
the gambler has got the money. But let
settle it peaeeably. What we propose
that you-let him keep what he's got an
have a new DEAL" They have not got s
far yet as to name the dealer. That wi
probably be left to Capt. Grant. And he
honest. Oh yes. !

Gen. Pierce did it in the interest OF sys-

people of the North rose in their wrath

We are, after all, of Saxon blood, and
proud of our Saxon memories. We have
never yet tamely submitted to a govern
ment of the sword, and we do not propose
to begin to do SO in America. Much as We
honor the gallant generals who command
ed our armies we do not mean to accept
them as our masters. If this we're an iso
lated instance it would be bad enough. 1t
might be pardonod to over zeal or ignor-
ance or the alacrity OF needless subordi
mates. But it cannot be so considered
Sheridan's errand to New Orleans is the
fultillment of policy which began with
this Observation-Disclosures of personal gov
ernment 1t was no after thought that
sent him to Louisiana as commander OF the
army and navy-no sudden emotion for
the suffering negroes" and the 'persecu-
ted loyalists." 1t was the fruition of the
presidential purposes, which began by re.
garding the executive Office as 9 personal
prerogative, the patronage of his individ
ual property and the cabinet as group OF
staff officers. Taken inherently as con.
