THE Washington correspondent of
the New Orleans Times is authority
for the statement that when the Com
mission was appointed to visit Louisi.
ana, John Sherman applied to the Pres
ident of the First National Bank OF
New York, "a member of the Syndi-
cate) for a loan of 5000, with which
10 pay the expenses Of the Commits
sion, promising that tho same should
be returned out OF the deficiency ap.
preparation, to be got for that purpose.
The money was loaned by the Bank
and paid out by Powers, one Of Sher.
mans CLERKS detailed for that purpose.
Copies Of the correspondence and de-
tails Of expenditures may make racy
reading. The Appropriation Commit
tee has refused to make an allowance
for the fund, which leaves Sherman
aud the Bank 10 q fix. II is said that
in anticipating an appropriation, Sher'
man has been guilty of an indictablC
o1ense, for which be can be impe ached
Aside from this, Sherman lays him
self open to criticism for conuiving &c.
cretly In matters of this kind with 8
member of the Syndicate. The affair
has not become generally known here
yet, but it Is one Of the topics Of secret
conversation 10 political circles TO-
night.
Tue loan was asked on high patri'
otto grounds, but in his estimate was
secretly sent to the Committee. SLer'
man includes one thousand dollars al
a compensation to the Commissioner
for patriotic services. Another ugly
incident of the transaction is thaI
checks aud drafts on the New Yorl
Bank we're cashed at the Sub.TreasurJ
in New Orleans, which was contrary
to law.

We are, according to present prospects,
to have another Gubernatorial contest in
Massachusetts, without General Butler in
the ring. Butler took no part in the
last campaign, but previous to that he
had always been a candidate and was
regularly beaten for the nomination and
then as regularly accepted a renomina-
ton to Congress. This time it is barely
possible that the Sage of Lowell will
drop out of Massachusetts politics alto
gether A well-informed Boston letter
writer says: "The result of the New
Hampshire election has, perhaps, de-
prived us of the privilege of voting for
General Butler as Governor of Massa-
chusetts this year. The malcontents are
very humble and quiet just now, and will
perhaps offer to compromise by having
Butler put upon the regular Republican
ticket for Congress in the Seventh Dis
trict, in which case the Democratic can
didate would pretty certainly be chosen.
But fancy the Hayes Republicans in
Massachusetts, know better than to give
Butler another chance of that sort-and
this year they have the game in their
own hands so far as the State election is
concerned"

The Joys Of Long ago.

The present may be cheerful as the dawn Of
sunlmer'sday,
And for things in the future seem charming
light and gay;
Yet, nothing o'er the weary can the sweet en-.
chanunent throw,
Like the wandering of memory to the joys Of
long ago.
The sunshine Of the moment, unbroken though
it seem,
Is often quickly rufIied like the waters Of a
streaml
Yet. though thatsun be darkened and the stream
its banks o'erGow,
Naught can destroy the solace Of the joys of long
ago.
And whom, with grief and sorrow, the heart is
stricken down,
And troubles robe of mourning succeeds the
gaudy crown,
When tempests dark and awful, DER wasted
pleasures blow,
1t is sweet to revel fondly in the joys or long ago.
When in misfortune's season the friends we
most revere,
No sympathy can give us to dry the burning
tear
When tender hopes are dying from deception e
cruel snow
TITS sweet to pause and listen to the Joys Of
long ago.
And when life's march is ended, and its tumult
nearly Ger
When the breakers and the surges dash upon
the beach no more;
Tits then when all is quiet that our memories
backward flow,
Etornally to lnger with the Joys Of long ago.

A NEGRO MANS HoARD.-The Whining
ton Del.) Republican says: "On Saturday
last decrepit old colored man came into
the Farmers Bank of Delaware, and sur
priSed the officers by handing them rusty
old bag in which was about 81 100 in specie,
$500 being in gold dollars chiefly and the
balance in silver The bag, of course, was
heavy, and although the colored man who
brought it was known as a regular depos-
itor at the bank of money in notes from
time to time, some surprise was manifested
that he should have brought so much specie
at one time. In answer to interrogations
the colored man said he lived near the canal
between Summit Bridge and Kirkwood,
that he was now somewhere between sew
enty and eighty years old, and that he had
worked on the canal ever since he
was a young man, and that he had
been saving up his money for a great num-
Der of years, he could not tell how many,
and that the only place he had for its Sc
cretion was up an old chimney. Some of
the silver gave evidence of the truth of
what the old gentleman said, for it was
black and smoked and had evidently lain
a long time in one position without even
having been turned over. He was asked
why he had not sold the gold when it was
bringing such high price during the war,
but he expressed surprise to think that it
had ever been worth more than dollar,
and could not see why one dollar should be
worth more than another. Under the in
struction of Mr., Robinson. the cashier, the
colored man took his 5000 in gold up to
Robinson q Co., where he sold it for per
cent premium, which it was bringing, after
which he made full deposit at the Farm
ers' Bank"

A LONG SUIT ENDED-The Augusta (Ga.
Chronicle of the 23d inst. says: "a case in
which several citizens of Augusta are in
terested was terminated in the Kentucky
Courts short time since, Among the early
settlers of what is now Menifee County,
Kentucky, was Mons. P. d. Robert, a
French emigrant, who received large grant
of land, some twenty-five thousand acres.
After his death portions of the land were
squatted upon by settlers f ON various parts
of the country. Some years ago efforts
were made by the descendants of NJ. Robert
Mr.. A. Robert Mr.. ]. A. Robert,
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs J. S. Sim
mons-to recover possession of this
land. The squatters refused to acknowl,
edge their titles, and suit was instituted in
the Kentucky courts. After several years
of litigation the matter was finally settled
in favor of the heirs, and on the 5th and 9Th
of the present month the agent of the latter
formally took possession of the land BY
the decree of the court the squatters re-
tained possession of all the land they had
inclosed in 1858, and the heirs agreed tc
sell them as much more as they wanted, al
81 per acre. Upon these terms the settlers
agreed not to carry the case further, and
thus litigation was stopped After giving
them their share of the land under the
compromise, the heirs will have about
twenty thousand acres left. Valuable coal
mines are located upon this large tract.

ONE would judge from the appearance
Of a New York policeman that he would
not need to belong to any athletic club
for the purpose of developing his muscle.
The men selected by the Commissioners
are generally built up six feet Or more
from the ground, and they contrive to
expand themselves horizontally into har-
monious proportions until they look like
a race of "beef-eaters." But they have
Or did have a well organized athletic
club, for the manufacture of muscle, &c.
But that club came to grief the other
day when Officers Adams, Muldoon and
Lacy interviewed each other with their
mawIers, and Adams cracked Muldoon's
skull with a slung-shot. The Herald says
there was a woman at the bottom of the
difficulty.

THE statement that the English Ere
serves" are to be called out,
and the excitement following the an
nouncement naturally suggests the
inquiry, "who are the reserves"' This
question is asked by well-posted writer
ON English army topics, and then an
swered in substance as follows: This is
a force new to the English army, and
should not be confounded with the mil
itia or volunteers. Under a new system
that has been adopted, men are enlisted
in the English army for short term of
service, at the close of which they pass
into the class of reserves" with liabil-
ity to be called upon for active service
at any time. They have been subjects of
discipline and skill, but few, if any, of
them have ever been under fire. They
number now almost forty thousand men,
and that most of them are available was
shown two years ago. when they were
called out, nominally for drill, but really
to ascertain where they were, and all but
five per cent. of them reported. Mot o

THE ARM-PINCHING AssAULT.-The Balt-
more Sun of Monday says: THE case of
Mrs. Christina Myers charged with assault
on Charles C. Michael, "a twelve-year old
son of P. W. Michael, by pinching his arm
last October, was tried in the Criminal
Court Saturday. Mrs. Myers denied pinch
ing him, but said she pulled his ear The
teacher and others testified to the assault.
The defense produced evidence of punish
nothing to show its connection with the
disease. Judge Brown said it was very
unjustifiabe assault, but it did not seem to
have been very violent or aggravated at
tack. The condition of the boy was very
sad, but it was not probable the assault
caused it. He fined the woman SO"
