Judge S. 8. Calhoon.

The Jackson Clarion has tha fol-
lowing to say concerning our fellow
towns-man, Judge Calhoon, upon
the occasion OF his taking his seat
on the Bench of the Circuit Court,
for the first time:
Judge Calhoon made most IA
vorable impression upon the Bar
and citizcLs generally with the Dig
nifed and business-lille manner in
which he began this, the first term
to his judicial career. His charge
to the grand jury, which we regret
we cannot publish entire, was much
complimented by those who were so
fortunate as to hear it. It was mark
ed with frmness, impartiality and
ability, showing q thorough knowl-
edge of the spirit and the letter Of
the law.
The Clarion adds:
lie charged the jury especially on
the point of Investigating the trans
scripts of the dockels of the JUS
ticcs of the Peace, and the Off cial
conduct Of all officers from sheriff to
constable, stating that the best
method Of raising the standard Of
community virtue was to require 4
high standard of off honor. As
required by law, he called SPECIAL
attention to the evil rights law, the
masked raiders law, the gaming and
the liquor law. He also catied the
attention of the jury to the fact that
the failure ofa3 officer 20 arrest per-
sons being intoxicated or guilty Of
profanc swearing WAS indictaole.
In conclusion, the judge warned
the jury against finding bills Gu IL
sufficient and frivolous testimony OF

send all the idle soldiers now in the
South to the West to meet the In.
dians and avenge the slaughter OF
Custer and his gallant comrades
The Register says:
Again we call upon the authori
ties ut Washington to take away
the troops from their political SER
vices at the South and send them
where the honor Of the flag of ths
United States may be redeemed
The five massacred companies o
Custer attest the inhumanIty ant

There is no need for troops in
Mississippi OF any other Southern
State, but there is dreadful need
for them on the frontier and in the
Indian reservations. The blood OF
GenI Custer and several hundred
other gallant spirits who laid down
their lives for country, calls loudly
for the interposition of troops. The
massacre of these men, the insult to
the Nations flag, the violation OF
the laws of humanity and civillza-
ton call loudly for redress.

Statement About Director Harrison II

OMAHA, June 9.-The Omaha Repnb
Lican of tomorrow will contain an i'm
portant statement from j. h. Millard
the city Government Director Of the
Union Pacific railroad, in relation to
Government Director Harrison and his
share in. the Blaine charges. Mr.
Millard says that Mr.. Harrison seems
To have acted from the first in the sole
interests of Morton as Presidential can
didate. When Harrison heard three
wears ago about the Fort Smith matter,
he saw sn opportunity to aid Morton by
making the allegations public at. the pro.
Der time and he declared to Millard
three wears ago ut the directors meeting
in Boston aud has often repeated It since
that. At the proper time, il Blaine
should be in Ms. way he would tell this
Dohd story and kill Blaine q candidate.
Millard says he was recently informed
it was intended by the parties opposed to
Blaine to keep this profound secret til
tho Republican Convention assembled.
and to spring it on him then and there,
so he could have no chance to vindicate
himself rs respects the Kansas Pacific
matter.
Mr.. Millard says that Blaine had a
witness to his blamelessness IN the per-
son of leading Democratic Congress
man from New York, who knows all the
facts, and knows ths: Blaine had moth
ing to do with it.

simiie of the original draft of the letter
OF the Secretary Of State to the Minister
of the United States in England in 1861

ton of neutrality. The New York

ton as follows:

self, struck out many passages of it, cor
r,cted much of its phraseology, and gen.
rally tined it down and gave it charac-
Ter. This story rests, we believe, origin
ally on the authority Of Senator Sumner,
who made no secret of his contempt for
Secretary Stewards diplomatic abilities,
and who used to maintain that but for
the sagacity and decision of President
l. Lncoln, Mr.. Seward would have got the
country INTO war with both England and
France before the first battle OF Bulls
Run. Perhaps Mr.. Boutwell, desires to
verify or to disprove this story. But If
so, which1 Ana If either, why?'
