SHOOTING DEsERTERs Con. S'Ocum,
in a recent lecture on the war OF the re-
beiion, said that one Of the great obsta
cles in the way Of success was the len
iency OF Pre- ident Lincoln toward desert
ers. Finally the corps commanders had
a consultation, and determined to put
stop to the pardon business. What fol-
lowed he told IS follows
This meeting took place down on the
Rappahanuock, and shortly after, three
men OF my command were found guilty
Of this thing. and in compliance with the
agree ment had made with my associ-
ates determined that those men should
be shot before our kind -hearted President
could interfere.
When we got to Laesburg ! knew
there was no telegraphic connection with
Washington, but knew That the opera-
tors were coming up mighty fast in our
rear, and so | ordered my men out at
nine O'Clock. and had their graves dug
and directed that the prisoners should
have their knees placed on the edge Of
their graves at len minutes 10 twelve,
and at twelve O'Clock ] ordered that these
men should be shot. To show you the
feeling that existed al the time on that
subject, some Of my men came to me and
told me there were high bets, five to one.
that that order won ID not be executed, but
when the clock struck twelve those men
were shot. Three or four month, passed
away, the battle of Gettysburg was
fought, the fall Of Vicksburg had taken
place, and | was ordered up to join the
Western army. In passing through
Washington called upon Mr.. Lincoln,
and as | entered his room be said {:
General Slocum, the last time | think
| heard from you was in the form Of n
message which caused me more pain
than almost any incident that has oc-
cured during the whole war"
| said that had forgotten the crcum~
stances, and be said When you were
down at Leesburg | ielegraphed to you
that if the sentence of such man had
not been executed that you should sGs-.
pend it until you got further orders from
me, and you telegraphed back that the
man was executed promptly at twelve
o'clock. The wife and sisters Of that
man were sitting here BY my side and
was compelled to open your telegram md
read it to them" | know OF no instance
that shows Mr.. Lincon's kindness Of
heart or appeals to me more strongly
than that When you remember the
length Of time that had elapsed and The
number of important ard stirr'ir 2 events
that had occurred in the interval, am
sure you will ngreo with me in saving
TINT he proved to be a generous and big
hearted man.

IT is amusing to frequently hear indi-
viduas, who are more enthusiastic thnn
wise in regard to the new Contribution,
earnestly advocating some good point
therein, and then witness the look of
blank astonishment upon their counte>
nances when some one better Informed
points out the same provision in the pre-.
sent Constitution, or in the Codes. In

THE most vital objection to this new
Constitution is that it not only does
nothing to break up land monopoly but
it will impose new barriers IN the way Of
land reform. Adopt the new Constitu
tion and nothing can he done TO break up
land monopoly without new Coustitu
tional Convention. This /. why the men
who have laborcd long and earnestly for
the abolition Of land monopoly in this
State oppose the new Constitution. The
old Constitution IS bad enough; but the
new one is worse. In maEing it, the
land grabbers, who call themselves
Changers, had their way unchecked, --

As NEXT THURSDAY will not only be
New Years, but the sixteenth anDiver-
sary of the edic. OF the Emancipation
from slavery, there are two reasons
why it should specially be observed as
a holiday. The emancipation OF four
millions of slaves from bondage war
one of the greatest events that ever
took place in the history OF tho nation,
and it is right and proper that the
event should be celebrated il a becom
ing manner By the people generally
without regard to color or nationality.
History never recorded an act before
where four millions Of human beings
disenthralled 4 ia true in the strife Of
bloody conflict, but where former
slaves so readily became useful citizens
and an integral part OF the great ma
ton. The recurrence Of the anniver-
sary will no doubt be generally OBJ
served and appropriately celebrated
all over the country next Thursday.
In this We hope the colored people of
this city will not be behind, and were
all the people to join in a grand jabilee
it would be nothing more than the i'm
portant occasion deserves.

Somebody in Cincinnati has been
putting the telephone to base uses. A
young lady employed in telephone ex-
change reported last 5touday that some
very indecent language had been used
by soma one talking into telephone al
one Of the leading business houses OF
the city. An agent was sent to the
.lac4 Of business refsrred to, AID he
Was there told that the offence against
4ecsncy was committed by subscriber
who did not belong to the establish
mrot, bnt had happened in aud used
the telephone. When the agent asked
10 be furnished with the name of the
visiting subscriber, he was told that it
Vas none of hi, business. AT noon the
telephone was removed from the house
from which the indecent message erna-
mated, ard in the afternoon notice was
served upon the telephone company to
