The London correspondent OF
the San Francisco News tells
the following ridiculous story
about General Grant:
Ulysses Grant was the guest
Of Victoria of England this
week at Windsor castle, and
was given rooms next adjoining
the royal sleeping apartment.
The queen was much surprised
at hearing him ring his bell
violently about 4 o'clock in
the morning. and still further
startled when the royal house
maid woke her up and asked
her for the keys of the cellar.
The General sent his compli-
ments, and couldn't sleep with
out a good stiff toddy, and if
they had any mint he would be
glad Of it. To show what a
perfect lady the queen is,
she got right up and put on her
slippers and a Wrapper, and
went down into the kitchen
herself, where she mixed the
ex-President a bowl of old
Jamaica punch from splendid
rum that had just been sent to
the Prince of Wales. With a
delicate appreciation of the
Generals habits, she also
placed a pack of cards on the
tray and apologizcd ia a pencil
note for their being a little dir
ty. Gen. Grant says of all the
kind compliments which ne
has received in England, this
touched him most deeply in
the right spot. he thanked
her Majesty in the name of
the American nation the fol-
lowing morning, stating that
he accepted her compliment
not as directed personally to
himself, but as an evidence Of
the perfect harmony existing
between England and the Uni>
ted States.

THE SILENT CAPTAIN.
How STONE9vALL JACKSON SLEPT HIS
SINGULAR RETICENCE.
philadelphia Weekly Timesl

philadelphia Weekly Times]
Gen. Jackson's troops and his
enemies believed he never slept;
the fact is he slept a great
deal. Whenever he had moth
ing else to do be went to
sleep especially in church. I remem-
Der during the invasion of Mary-
land one Sunday night he rode three
miles in an ambulance to attend
church in Frederick, and then fell
asleep as soon as the minister be-
gan to preach; his head fell upon
his breast, and he never awoke ~
til aroused by the organ and choir.
He could sleep anywhere and in any
position, sitting in his chair, under
fire, or on horseback.
On night march toward Rich
mond, after the battles with
Mcclellan, he was riding along
with his drowsy staff, nodding and
sleeping as he went. We passed
by groups Of men on the roadside,
engaged in roasting new corn by
fires made of fence-rails. One
group took us for cavalrymen, with
an inebriated captain, and one of
the party. delighted at the sight of
a man who had found whiskey
enough to be drunk, sprung up
from the fire, and, brandishing a
roasting-ear in his hand, leaped
down into the road, and Selling the
Generals horse, cried out, II say
old fellow, where the devil did you
get your liquor2" In al instant,
the General awoke, the. fellow
saw his mistake; and then bound
ing from the road he took the
fence at q single leap, exclaiming,
"Good God. it's old Jack !" and
disappeared in the darkness. Yes,
General Jackson slept great deal,
but he was never caught mapping.
He gave to sleep many moments
which other men would have given
to conversation. He was essentially
a silent man; not morose, but quiet.
He smiled often, rarely laughed.
BE never told joke, but did not
discourage them in others-and if
one struck his peculiar fancy he
would smile in mild approval. He
did not live apart from his staff,
but liked to have them about him,
and they were nearly all very
young men. Universally polite in
manner, he encouraged the liveliest
conversation among them, although
ne took little part in it. he was
not man of words-they seemed
to embarrass him. When he had.
ideas he put them into action and
not into language. His military
dispatches we're as brief as if stud- |
led, like the one he sen: after the
defeat of A.ilroy:: God blessed our
arms with victory at Mcdowell
yesterday He never discussed his
plans never told them.
The next officer undsr him never
knew his intention or object. He
never volunteered his opinion TO
his superior, nor asked advice of
his subordinatcs. He was self-reli-
mt as he was silent, and believed
he walks with speed who walks
,lone.' He was reticcnt to a
caulr. If my coat knew what
intended to do, I'D take it off and
throw it away was one of his say
ngs. This reticence often led to
embarrassment aud complaint from
the officer next in command, and
might have led to disaster in case
of his death--but he evidently
thought it better to run that risk
than the risk of having his plans
discovered.

been molested in Canada or the
United States. Not so with those
Of the Orange societies. They per.
petuate the ascendency the Of Pro-;
testant few over the Catholic many
in Ireland, ard remind every man
of Irish birth of an era when the
chains of degrading slavery were
riveted upon all who, in the ill~fat-
ed island refused to profess the es-
tablished creed. Orangeism, which
was first established in Ireland in
1795, and was declared illegal by
act Of paliament in 1885, the com>
plement of nationalism, was the
successor Of the secret societies
which tho isolated Protestants in
the seventeenth century-inhabit-
ing then wild country, the ma
tives of which were Cath olics-
thought necessary to their safety.
Planted as military colonies by the
government, whose supremacy and
civilization they upheld, the Pro-
testants of ireland were almost all
antagonistic 70 their Chatholic fell
low countrymen, never more so
than in the dark days preceding
the rebellion of '9S when banded
as Orangemen, they made common
cause with the government which
many patriotic Protestants, like
Emmett, sought to overthrow.
Thus, antagonistic politically, as
well as religious|y, the OraLge-
ran-an Irish man, too; is regarded
the most hateful of the enemies Of
Irish nationality. The causes,

angemen did not attract attention,
and occasion just such excitement
and bloodsaed as that which dis
graced Montreal the other day,
they would grow small by degrees
and beautifully less, and finally
be read of only in books as mem
bers of an orgaMza ton that fretted
the world for a comparatively brief
season.. Obsolete and wicked in
its purpose, Orangeism should find
no place in the United States, Or
in Canada, either. Without other
object than the perpetuation of re-
ligious hate, it should be discoun-
tenanccd by every Protestant Irish
man who, in this country, has
learned what freedom really is.

Radicals Praying for 6
Democratic Biunder.

Charles Nordhotf writes to
the Herald from Washington
under date Of 10th inst, that
the Republicans are not so anx-
ious for anything else just now
as that the Democrats should
commit some scandalOus blum
der to keep them in countenanse
while they enjoy(?) their Flori-
da victory. Mr.. Nordhoff says:
The Florida decision gives, a
doubtful delight to the Repub-
licans. 1t leaves s. bad after
taste in the mouth. 1t is kind
of escape of which they are not
proud; and they would be de-
voutly thankful if now the
Democrats should threaten to
begin unlawful or irregular
proceedings, of any kind, so as
to alarm or disgust the country;
indeed, they are going about to-
night with terrible stories of
what some Democrats have been
heard to say, of secret consul
tations. of plots to break up the
Commission; but as the Demo
Gratis have a reasonable cop2-
Idence in their side of the lou
isiana case, and are on tie whole
moderately cheerful, they are
not likely to pat themselves
out of court by any follies; in.
deed, a good many of the
shreW9est men OH that side say
that. if the Republicans can al:
ford to take Florida under all
the circumstances, they can az
ford to lose it.

Unconstitutional.
Decision of the Supreme Court on
the Dog Law!
Judge Mcfarland Dissents!

What is popularity known as
the dog law. was to-day, by the
Supreme Court Of Tennessee,
declared to be unconstitutional.
The opinion of the Court de-
c!ares that dogs are not a privi-
lcge, and therefore cannot be
taxed under the constitution and
the law giving the taxing power
of the State the power to tax
privileges. That the law 10 not
enforced under the police pow
or of the State, and that this
law was enacted only as means
OF raising revenue, and cannot
be sustained under the police
powers of the State.
Judge Mcfarland dissented
from the opinion of the Court
as delivered by Judge Freeman,
holding that the law under the
police power Of the State may
be enforced, and that the Legis-
lature had she right to enact
that they shoald be taxed as a
privilege.
This puts all end to the much
vexed question. The opinion
was one of great length, and
exhausted all the law and learn
ing on the subject.-Banner,

Chattanooga Grain Mar
ket.

Corn opened brisk during the
early part of last week at 48
cents, sacked on wharf, but ow-
ing 10 the decreased demand
from the South declined to 46
cents, at which priceit was dull
yesterday with a prospect for a
further decline, as deaters are
unwilling to- carry large amounts.
Wheat is scarce, and very
little is coming in, with none in
store. We quote choice white
and amber milling wheat at
81. 45@$1.60; lower grades, 81
25@$1.40.
The receipts of grain, etc.,
at the wharf, for the week, are
as follows: Corn, 3S $50 bush
els; wheat, $50 bushels; flour,
600 sacks, The receipts were
unusually low owing to the low
stage Of the water. The roads
in the upper country are get
ting in good condition for haul
ing grain and there is a large
amount being prepared to ship
on the next rise.
Bacon quiet, with little de-
mand, at 81 cents; eggs de-
clined six cents during the
week and are now steady at 10
cents; butter, 12}@15 cents;
chickens, 123@15 cents; dried
apples, 3@43 cents; dried peach
es, 10a15 cents.

The Evils Of Security
Debts.

w. G. Sadler, of Putnam
county, and Thos. I. Gardner,
of Robertson county, have been
adjadget bankrupts.
A good many citizens of
Robertson county having re-
Gently gone into bankruptcy,
an american reporter inquired
of Judge John Lawrence, the
Register in Bankruptcy, as to
the causes which led to such a
step. Said the Judge:
THAT is easily explained. 1t
is most remarkable fact that
nearly all the Robertson coun-
~ parties have been forced into
bankruptcy, not upon Individual
account, but because of secu-
rity debts. Instances have come
up where it was shown that
many Of them had no other
debts whatever confronting them
save security debts. This ex-
hibits q fact that onght to at
tract attention, ard I don't
speak of Robertson county, but
generally. Heavy bonds are
required of officers and as a
natural consequence they have
to have bondsmen. Every man
has friends, and it is not oftUn
that a friend will refuse to sign
his bond. But it not unfre-
quently follows that even one
in whom everybody may have
the utmost confidence may be-
come defaulter, either from a
want of knowledge of book
keeping, lack of system or
through outright dishonesty.
Such defalcations often prove
financial wrecks to whole COM
munisies. There should be a
law passed providing a berth in
the penitentiary for every pub
lie defaulter. This would eff
fectuauy stop defaulting and
make the community safer"
SIS a man required to pay
thirty cents on the dollar on
security dcbts?" asked the re-
porter.
Judge Lawrence-"Sureties
are not required under the bank
rupt law, to pay 80 cents on tho
dollar of security debts or debts
contracted prior to Jan. /, 1859.
In order to get Il discharge q
man who goes into voluntary
bankruptcy must pay 80 cents
on the dollar of his indebted
ness or get the consent of / in
number and ! in amount Of the
individual creditors who prove
their claims against him"
