Fulton to Commissioner Douglass,
Secretary Bristow and

FINALLY TO THE PRESIDENT;
then said; &as itrnot something for
Americans to be proud Of, that the
chief executive officer Of the govern.
ment could thus remain against polit.
ical influence, but yielded to the logic
Of a practical citizen. Can anybody
denythe force Of the Fulton's argui
nent? Hardly so. The order was
not only revoked but the very plan
suggested by Fulton was adopted
and the whole conspiracy was exposed
and the conspirators brought to pun.
ishment. :.
Babcock had no part whatever in
procuring the revocation,as all evidenc
shows and thelpresidcnt's deposition
places it beyond doubt, no powcrof
rhetoric or argument. could convince
any honest minded man that the order
was not revoked by the president
with the purest motives Yet for
months that high officer had been sub.
jected to all the attacks aud -
TIE CALuMNY OF TIE PRESS
for his conduct. The facts shows
more clearly that the revocation was
not u proceeding on the partsof the
president to thwart the calculations
and plans of the secretary. The pres
ident has acknowledged and declared
that the revocation would serve the
best the interests of the government.
There -Sas-no disagreement what
ever, and yet the counsel for the pros.
ccution charged the president with
interfering with the secretary in his
plans, satisfied that the same argu.
u.ents that had convinced his own
mind would convince the president.
The secretary sent Fulton TO the pres
idcnt to lay the case before him and
secure the revocation. No party bias
can enable q man to see any spot Of
stain in the revocation Of that order.
The president who has remained
silent to the last moment, and who
only spoke in obedience to the law
whose majesty. he recognizes, now
stands fully vindicated. There are no
more flows Of rhetoric in his deposit
tion than in
cnKlsr's SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
but it goes right to the heart of-every
honest intended no rebuke.
yet he was no volunteer witness, but
was fortunately called by the exigen.
cies Of the case. Thus the president.
the secretary, the courts. .and tins de-
fendant stand vindicatcd before the
country by the developments of a full
investigation and in the presidents

this order on January Goth, till its re-

was the ally.
Judge Porter rose to speak but
Judge Dillon said he was suffering
from a severe cold and would adjourn
court till tomorrow.

FESTIVAL OF PURIM. Friday being the
1Alth of the 18th month, Adar, the Jews
celebrated the festival of Purim, in COM
niemoration Of the deliverance of the Jew
ish nation from destruction, sought to be
accomplished by Haman, the confidant of
King Ahasuerus. In the book of Esther,
in the Old Testament, may be read full
history of Haman's conduct towards the
jews, as the decree was issued against them
through his influence, of the manner in
which Esther, by Mordecai's advice, OBJ
tanned the favor of the King of her suit
for her people, how the mischief of Ha-
man was putaway, Hannah himself hang
ed and the enemies of the Jews slain. And
because of their salvation, it was establish
ed among the Jews, land the observance is
kept up to this day., that they should keep
the fourteenth day Of the month of Adar,
and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
as the days wherein the jews rested from
their enemies, and the month which was
turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and
from mourning into good day, and that
they should make them days of feasting
and joy, and of sending portions, one to
another, and gifts to the poor. Book of
Esther, tx, 81, 22.)
Thus, it has been always celebrated by
the Jews, and will SO continue to the end
of time. The book of Esther is read at
their Synagogues, and at home and among
their friends. The season is enjoyed with
great festivity; visits are interchanged,
gifts are made, and the poor literally re-
membered.

EXCITED SEARCH.-About the middle of
last week, the wife Of a most respectable
farmer in the lower end of the county, liv-
ing on South River, started out saying she
intended to take walk Not returning
in the evening or at night the gravest ap-
prehensions were excited for her safety,
and it was feared that she was drowned.
The neighborhood turned out and the
river and several mill dams were dragged,
but no body discovered. On Saturdays let
ter was received by member of the family,
from the missing lady, dated near Fishers
vile, whittier she had gone to the house of
relative, where she intended remaining.
The citizens of the neighborhood who
were much exercised by her supposed loss,
were greatly relieved at the intelligence of
her safety. Her husband was in the city,

SERIOUS FALL.-On Sunday afternoon
last, Arthur Woodhouse, son 10 years
old of Mrs. - Woodhouse, undertook
to climb the stack eighty six feet high of
the engine house at the water works on
the inside, entering at the bottom and
pulling himself up by the iron rods that
cross it at intervals of two feet. When
only sixteen feet from the top, his hold
broke and he was precipitated to the bot
tom, striking the crossing rods frequently
on his way down. He was stunned, but
soon recovered his senses, and was carried
home. DR.. A. M. Fauntleroy was called
in and rendered the necessary attention,
and the lad is doing well. He was badly
bruised by striking the cross rods which
must haye lessened the impetus greatly as
he did not have bone broken.
