THE Boston Aduertiser says the Treasury
department has under consideration grave
instance of careless legislation in the new
revenue bill. Section sixteen of that act au-
thorizes drawback to the full amount of
the tax paid upon all tobacco exported, and
directs the Secretary to pay it to tue claimant
at once. The large stock of manufactured
tobacco now on hand has paid tax Of twen-
ty-four cents. Section 25000 of the Revised
Statutes provides that upon the re-importation
OF exported articles, on which drawback for
taxes has been paid, tax shall be imposed
such as the revenue laws provide. This tax,
after the 1st of May next, will be but sixteen
cents. 1t will, therefore, be legal for the hold
ers of large stocks to export the whole, re-
ceive drawback and reimport the whole, and
make eight cents a pound, less expenses, by
the operation. Secretary Sherman thinks
the authority thus given for this operation
may cost the government between two and
three millions, but at present be sees no
method of preventing it. Secretary Sherman
thinks that the stock that has been sent
abroad will be Immediately returned.

How President Lincoln Superseded Gen.
eraI ROsecrans.

The Toledo Journal publishes the following
bit of history: General James b. Steedman,
familiarly known as "Old Chicksmauga," was
never in happier frame than at the Ford Post
reunion the other evening, when. with other
valuable anecdotes and incidents of the war,
he related the following; Some weeks after
the disastrous battle of Chickamauga, while
yet Chattanooga was in state of seige, Cen
'eral Steedman was surprised one day to receive
telegram from Abraham Lincoln asking him
to come to Washington Seeking out Thomas
he laid the telegram before him and was in
structed to set out at once. Repairing to the
White House, he was warmly received BY Mr.
Lincoln. Mr. Lineoln's first question was
abrupt and to the point: General Steedman.
what is your opinion of General Rosecrsns?"
General Steed man, hesitating moment said,
"Mr President, would rather not express my
opinion of my superior officer" Mr.. Lincoln
said, SIT is the man who does not want to ex-
press an opinion whose opinion want. 1 am
beseiged on oil sides with advice. Every day
get letters from army officers asking me to al
low them to come to Washington TO impart
some valuable knowledge in their possession"
"Well, Mr.. President" said General Steed-
man "you are the commander cf.in-chief OF
the army, and if you order me to speak will
do so" Mr. Lincoln said. ''rben L will order
an opinion" General Steedman then answered
'Snce you command me, Mr.. President, will
say General Rosecrans is splendid man to
command a victorious army" "But what
kind of man to command a defeated army?"
said Mr.. Lincoln. General SteedmaD, in re-
ply. said cautiously, "I think there are two or
three other men in that army that would be
better" Then, with his quaint bumor, Mr.
Lincoln propounded this question, "Who. be-
sides yourself, General SteedmaD, is there in
the army who would ms1e better command
er?" General Steedmsn said promptly, Seen
George 81 Thomas" 81 am glad to hear you
say so," said NJ. Lincoln; "That is my opinion
exactly. Bat Mr. Stanton is against him, aud
it was only yesterday that a powerful New
Yors delegation was here to protest against his
appointment because he is from a rebel State,
and cannot bs trusted" Said General Stetd
man, ga man who will leave his own State
(Thomas was Virginian), his friends, all his
associations, to follow the flag Of his country,
can be trusted in any position to which he may
be called" That night the order went forth
from Washington relieving General Rosecrsns
of the command of the Army of the Cum 5er-
land and aDpointing Thomas in his Dlace

AntinOus.

Who was Antinous, and what is known Of
him? He was native of Bithnum or Claudi-
opolis, q Greek town claiming to havs been a
colony from Arcadia, which was situsted ne ar
the Sepgarius, in the Roman province of
Bithynis; therefore he may have had pure
Hellenic blood 10 his vieDs, or, what is more
probable, his ancestry may have been by brid
between the Greek Immigrants and the native
populations of Asia Minor. AntiDous was
probably b9rn in the first decade of the second
century of cur era. He first appears upon the
scene Of the worlds history as Hadfian's
friend. Whether the emperor met with him
during his travels in Asia Minor, whether
be fonnd him among the students of the uni
versty at Athens, or whether the boy had been
sent to Rome in his Childhood, must remain
matter of the merest conjecture. We do not
even know for certain whether ADtinous was
free or slave. The report that he was one Of
the emperor's pages rests upon the testimony
of Hegesippus, quoted by Christian father,
and cannot therefore be altogether rel led upon.
1t receives, however, some confirmation from
the fact that AntinOus is more than once repre-
sented 10 the company of Hadriao aud Traiau
in pages bunting dress upon the bis-Teliefs
which adorn the Arch of Constantine. The
so-called Castor of the Villa Albaui is prob ably
of similar character. Winckelmann who
adopted the tradition as trustworthy, pointed
out the similarity between the portraits
of Aptinous and some lines In "Pha1rus,"
which describe a curl ls-haired dtrienSis. If
Antinous took the rank of dtriensis 10 the i'm.
perial pgdagogiotln, his position would have
beep, to say the least, respec able; for to these
upper servants was committe1 the charge of
the atri,tna, where the Romans kept their fsmi-
lg archives, portraits and works of art. Yet he
must have Quilted this kind of service some
time before his death, since we ind him in the
company Of Hadrisn upon one of those long
journeys IN which an atrienSis would have had
no atriuna to keep. By the time of HadrisD's
visit 10 Egypt, Antinous had certainly passed
into the closest relatioLshi with his imperial
master; and what we know of the emperor's in
ciuation toward literary and philosophical So
ciety perhaps jastifes the belief that the youth
be admitted to his friendship had imbibed
Greek culture, and had been initiated into
those cloudy metaphysics which amused the
leisure of semi Oriental thinkers in the last age
of decaying Psg gsnism.-The Cornhil Magazine
The Portland daily press., 1879-03-17

Mr.. z L. White sends from Washington
determination of Governor Tilden eth
er to get the Democratic nomination
or to defeat any successful rival And
this is the way the situation was stated
to Mr.. White: 'Gov. Tilden is entitled to
the nomination. The Democratic party is
unanimous in its declaration that he was
cheated out of the office to which he was
elected in 1876, and having once borne the
brunt of the fight, and spent his money freely
as much for the success of the party as for
his own, it was unfair to deny him the priv
ilege OF securing the reward stolen from him.
He will be the strongest candidate the Dem
ocracy can nominate, because the people who
voted for him before, and who were not al
lowed to enjoy the fruits of the victory they
fairly won, will rally around his standard
again as they will around that of no other
man. But aside from all these consdera-
tions, the nomination of Mr.. Tilden is a po-
iitical necessity. The Democratic party
cannot elect any other candidate. The Dem
ocracy will be beaten in 1880 unless it carries
New York. We say that Gov. Tiden, if he
is renominated, can secure the thrty-fve
electoral votes Of the Empire State. No
other candidate can do it. In fact the 'old
man will see to it that no other Democratic
candidate does carry New York if he is beat
en in the convention. You see therefore
that the question to be considered is not
whether you prefer Governor Tilden or some
other man, but whether you will 60 into the
campaign with him, or with certain defeat
staring you in the face with some one else
for your candidste.'

THE speech of Senator Matthews, pub
lished in another column, deserves to be
widely read. Senator Hamlin pronounced it
the a5lest he ever heard in the Senate. 1t
sets forth in powerful language the dangers
of the doctrine advocated by Mr.. Thurman
and the majority of the Democrats, that the
House of Representatives has the right to
coerce the Senate and Executive and shows
what utter Generalization of our form of
government such doctrine, carried out in
practice, would inevitably produce. The
opening of Senator Matthews career was
clouded by allegiance to weak and tempor-
iztng policy. This speech shows that he has
become convinced that the Democrats, north
or south, are not TO be conciiated but to be
fought.

The Tuscumbia, Alabama, Democrat of
Saturday March s, is fired by the debate over
the proposition to pension JEFF. Davis suffici-
emily to remark as follows:
The leaders of the Radical party, especially
the New Eogland whsng doodlers, have taken
advantage Of every opportunity, since the war,
t. traduce and vilify the honored men of the
South. Their venom, like deatb, aims aiwass
at shining mark, and their cowardly shafts
have been constantly and persistenty buried
at the Hon. Jefferson Davis, man who, to-
day, as a statesm an, scholar and patriot stands
aDithout an equal in America. Mr. Ddois has

THE Governors Council appear to have a
spite against hard-money Democrats. They
have refused to make Mr.. Charles Mccarthy
trustee of the Reform School because he be-
lieves in the financial doctrines held by An
drew Jackson. That is logical enough, from
the Greenback point of view, but it seems to
trouble many old fashioned Democrats. Prob
ably the least unconcerned man is Mr.. Nc
Carthy, who did not seek the place, andc
nothing for it. He can stand the rejection if
the Council can.

THE Argus quotes from speech by David
Dudley Field showing the extravaganza of
Democratic administration in New York city
and the enormous sums paid city officials,
and asks, elbow does Mr.. Fields idea in re.
gard to compensation of city officials strike
our city government?' A rather more
practical question would be, how does it
strike the extravagant Democratic city gov
ernment of New York?

THE Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times says that those who look for
short extra session of Congress are likely to
be mistaken. He then adds:
The conservatives are anxious to attempt
only to pass the political legislation. but it
must be remembered that the conservatives are
not in a majority. If they we're the extra ses-
sion would never have been called. If the
House is organized by the Democrats, as it
probably will be by fair or foul means, it will be
under the domination of the most reckless
politicians that ever plotted any revolution.
Such a man as Blackburn has rush of blood
to the head. In period OF excitement bis

the recklesscess of his acts are beyond compu-
tation under any fancied spur of notoriety or
