b -THE removal of General Custer
from his command by the President
is scandalous performances. There
is, unfortunately, every reason to put
the worst construction upon 1t, and
it does not admit Of d favorable con-
struction. There is no pretense that
General Custer can be superseded so
as to promote the good Of the SER
vice. Both the General Of the Army
and the Secretary of War, it is repor-
ted, protested against the removal in
the interest of the army and Of the
expedition which General Custer was
assigned to lead. Moreover, General
Clusters testimony does not seem to
have been in any degree voluntary
or oficious, nor disrespectful to the
President himself. But it was dis
pleasing to the extortionate post-tra-
ders id whose interest the President
has been working; and Custer is re
moved to deter other officers from
telling what they know. There has
never been a President of the United
Estates before who was capable ufbra
wing the decent opinion of the coun
try so openly and shamefally as this
for the sake Of wreaking such mis-
cradle vengeance.-[N. <. World.

Third Party Movements.

Here is an excellent article from
the RicLlland Beacon on a subject Of
which the country, but not the poll
ticians, has grown tired:
If it were not a fact that the
thieves and demagogues were the
first politicians to crowd into a party
organized for the declared purpose of
placing honest men in Office, we.
might advocate the organization of a
third party for such a purpose-for
God knows we are sadly in need Of
honest officials, and both parties no
doubt need purging-but reliefis not
to be found in such a party, but in
the selection Of honest, conscien
tious, capable men for Office. Surely
such men arctic be found in the
country and we believe they are to
be found in the Democratic party.
Let them be hunted up and put into
Office. Fight shy of those who are
too anxious to get into Office and re-
gard with suspicion manipulators of
conventions and primary elections.
If any "have been tried" and not
'sfouhd wanting" they are the men
to bring forward.
The Democratic party is on trial.
Let US bear the test and prove wor-
thy of the confidence that may be re-
posed in the party. Let us be care:
full not to forfeit such confidence by
the selection Of bad material, but
use the very best we have got; and
having made the fight on the broad
principles Of honesty and reform, il
successful, let us carry out those
principles to the letter and reclaim
our country from ruin, and prove
that our. professions are made in
sincerity.
i Keep out of the ''third party;;" 70
we cannot afford to run the risk 0
experimenting with such new efforts
which, if engaged in by the homes
men of the country, will insure on
defeat and perpetuate the presen
rule of corruption, fraud and oppree
sion. We have had enough of sue
experimenting in the past. Thos
who are really honest can find plent
of honest men in the party to pr
> into Office, without going outside I
hunt up disappointed politicians.
they mean honesty and reform, \
> them work with the Democrats;
they will not do this, then let the
e go; for we have reason to suspicie
/, their real purpose, and can only r
O gard them as disorganizcrs, sor

Now that Grant, appointees and De-

A DUEL BETWEEN A .,CoNFEDER-
ATE AND A FEDERAL
': - OFFICER.


On the 10Th Of June, 1868, I wit
messed alfduel between Captain
Jones, commanding a Federal scout,
and a Captain Fry, commanding
rebel scout,in Greene County, East
Tennessee.
These two men had been fighting
each other for six months, with the
fortunes of battle in favor of one
and then the other. Their COM
mands were camped on either side Of
Lick Creek, a large and sluggish
stream, too deep to ford, and too
shallow for a ferryboat; but a bridge
spanned the stream for the convent
cnce of the travelling public. Each
Of them guarded this bridge that
communication should go neither
North nor South, as the railroad
track had been broken up months
before. .''@' '' '., g
After fighting each other several
months, and contesting the point
as to which should hold this bridge,
they agreed to fight a duel, the con-
queror to hold the bridge undisputed
for the time being. ~
Jones gave the challenge, and Fry
accepted. The terms we're til at they
