NO MORE GENERALS.

When Grant yielded both the ambition
and ghost of Cesar, his worshippers pro-
posed, in order to give few moro presents
and money, and fill his already plethoric
purse, to create another generalship and be-
stow it on him in order that he might man
age to receive some little compensation for
his great brains.
This scheme suddenly collapsed. The
name Of a militia title, or Of a military
cognomen is getting to be of all things the
most disgusting. Regular army officers who
by merit and position, are entitled to these
titles, and to wear the uniform, have
been 80 disguised with the un-
numbered and airy OK" Co.'s, +" 'ex-C Captains
present humbugs, that they are really
ashamed to wear the uniform of the army in
respectable society.
We want no more generals nor military,
If Mr.. Grant, or any other ambitious ex.
officer, in time of peace, should desire tc
support royal style at the expense of the
tax payers of the country, let Congress vote
him pension to keep him out of the poo1
house, but no more Generals nor Captains

THE REVELATIONS OF NOSES.

THE REVELATIONS OF MOSES.
Ex-Governor Moses, who has assumed the
role Of historian of the beauties of radical
ism in South Carolina, is getting on finely.
We have had occasion to say before that
Moses possesses peculiar adaptations and
faculties for the work. It is somewhat as
if the devil, instead Of Milton, should under
take to write the history Of hell Milton
assumes to tell how the angels fell, and Of
mans disobedience. Moses writes the
genesis, exodus, leviticus and revelations of
the inhabitants Of pandemoniunl--that is,
the portion of that beatifc region limited to
the carpet bagger's paradise South Carolina.
Some inklings Of these pen-sketches have
been given in TIE GLOBE. In orderto be
able to grasp them in all their full ripe rich
ness, one must read the originals.
Moses tells how one Major Merrill
arrested, imprisoned and plundered innocent
citizens and got a bill passed by the Legis-
lature allowing him 5000 for every arrest,
aggregating the handsome tit-bit of $3.50, GOO.
Moses himself only received $4,000, while
"Major' Merrill, Lewis by prefix, kept the
balance. An itemized account of these ras-
calities would fiji all the columns of THR
GLOBE to the exclusion Of the news gather

ANOTHER MERRILL.

The Textbook war being for the time over,
and The GLOBE having vindicated the great
principles of competition and free trade, it
gives us exquisite pleasure to record an IN
stance where man proved himself to be a
man, and chose the love Of a good woman
rather than the ducats of an ancient female
who bore to him the relation Of an unadopted
mother.
George Merrill was the adopted son of a
generous old sea captain, of New York, who
lived and died in the happy condition Of
Abraham and Sara, that is to say, before
Isaac was born.
Captain Merrill, dying, lefta small legacy,
and his boy, although not his son, to the
tender mercies of the world, and of Mrs.
Merrill, who having from poverty grown to
afuence, lost her wits and her heart in
the ambition to cover ignorance with preten-
sion and to become woman Of ton. George
meanwhile fell in love with poor, good, re-
fined, respectable girl, but she was not up to
the nose of Mrs. Merrill. She threatened to
disinherit the old sea captains adopted son,
but George was man; he married the girl
of his heart, and said adieu to his mother.
She wandered over Europe to show what
American vulgarity is, and died leaving hel
large estate, intended by the sea captain fol
his adopted boy, to Cardinal McCloskey and
other equally ecclesiaiastical purposes, al
though the old crone had been Protestant
all her life This is about the substance OF
the Merrill will case, which is attracting SC
much attention in New York, Invested of it's
legal points. And we have noticed it to say
that George Merrill is a man among ten
thousand, reminding US of another age when
the love of the human heart was not mere
poetical sentiment, and manhood was some.
thing more than worship of money.

The Governor has signed the election bill
relative to cities of over 10000 inhabitants,
and it is now a law. While the law has
many wise provisions, the clause destroying
the sanctity of the ballot is outrageous and
ought to have sunk the whole act. The
Governor was prevailed upon to sign the
bill because it provides a severe penalty if
the Judges divulge how a man votes. The
very fixing of this penalty comedies that the
judges of election can, under this law, ascer-
tain how man votes, for unless that was
possible there would " be no
occasion for the penalty named. The
enactment Of q law which gives this infor-
nation to any one, is an outrage upon pri-
vate rights. Every one knows how sacred
any information which the average Judge of
election has, will be, but it is not the num-
Der who may have this knowledge, that is
the objection. It is the fact that the law
gives even one person the power to obtain
such knowledge, which is an outrage. The
ballot should be sacred and secret, unless the
voter chooses to make his vote public on his
own account. si4 &

DR. sTEwAnT's reasons for voting against
silver are because he did not want to make
ninety cents equal to dollar. He had bet
ter have frankly admitted, as Mr.. Window
did, that he knew nothing about the subject.
The reason why the silver dollar was below
par, was because silver was demonetized,
and, practically, there was no silver dollar in
existence. A vote for the restoration of the
silver dollar was simply a vote to restore
cent silver dollar, and never has been. The
ninety cent gable is ignorant bosh, and

TIE TRADE DOLLAR.

The Protest from San Francisco A,.,,.+
Their Being Abolished--Their Popularitv
In China and Business Created nv Their
Coinage.
Sal; FRANCISCO, March 1o.-Your corres.
pendent to-day interviewed a number of
prominent bankers and business men on tbe
contemplated action of the House committee
on coinage, weights and measures, to abolish
the trade dollar. But one opinion was e1-
pressed, that it was a direct blow at the
interests of the country, and especially of
the Pacific coast. It was strongly urged
that the trade dollar, after considerable
trouble attendant upon its introduction, has
now obtained firm footing in China, and
has created demand which cannot be filed
by fine silver.
The exports now average over six million
annually. At Hong Kong, Canton, Swallow
| Annoy and Foo Chow, they are received as q
legal tender. and would have been so re-
celved now at Shanghai and Tangtse ports
but tor the opposition of foreign bankers
notwithstanding which they will probabl,
obtain similar status there within a wear
which will at once double the demand.
They are preferred by the Chinese to the
| Mexican dollar, and the suspension of thei,
coinage would be to throw away business
and our prestige as silver producing coun.
try. The opinion was expressed that the
proposition to abolish tho trade dollars
taken in connection with the views expressed
| by Secretary Sherman when before the coin
age committee yesterday on the subject o
| the issue of silver coin certificates, indicated
an intention to bear the silver market for tn,
purpose of receiving the profits on silver
coinage.
