The attack of the st. Paul GLOBE on Mr..
@. w. johnson. in connection with the CEN
sus of this city, is simply infamous, and so
grossly and indecently false as to merit no
further notice than this simple statement.
The census of this city, when given, will be
unimpeachably correct, and will stand the in
vestigation of the census bureau or the men
dacious defamer who calls in question the
honor or veracity of as careful and painstak-
ing census enumerator as there is in the
United States.

pervisor johnson, Of this city, accusing him
of holding back the census returns of Mime

order to beat ST. Paul. Of course there is
no foundation for the GLOBES accusation,
but the ill-advised policy (for which Mr..

preserving such mysterious secrecy in respect
to our census returns, and delaying their

A Document Which Will Bear Frequent
The Civil Record Question.
General Order No. 40.
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT,
NEw ORLEANS La, November 90, 1857
l. Ia accordance with general orders No. 81,
headquarters of the army, adjutant generals
Office, Washington, D. O., August 29, 1867.
Major General W. s. Hancock hereby assumes
command of the Fifth military district and of
the department composed of the States of
Louisiana and Texas.
ii. The general commanding is gratified to
learn that peace and quiet reign in this depart
ment. 1t will be his purpose to preserve this
condition of things. As means to this great
end he regards the maintenance of civil au-
thorities in the faithful execution of the laws
as the most efficient under existing circum-
stances.
In war it is Indispensable to repel force by
force, and overthrow and destroy opposition to
lawful authority. But when insurrectionary
force has been overthrown and peace estab-
lished, and the civil authorities are ready and
willing to perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead, and the civil ad-
ministration resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the general announces that the great
principles of American liberty are still the
lawful inheritance of this people, and ever
should be. The right of trial by Jury, the
habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the
freedom of speech, the natural rights of per-
sons and the rights of property must be pre-
served.
Free institutions, while they are essential to
the prosperity and happiness of the people,
always furnish the strongest inducements to
peace and order. Grimes and offenses commit
ted in this district must be referred to the con-
sideration and judgement of the regular civil
tribunals, and those tribunals will be support
ed in their lawful Jurisdiction.
Should there be violations of existing laws
which are not inquired into by the civil magis-
trates, or should failures in the administra-
tion OF justice by the courts be complained of,
the cases will be reported to these headquarters,
when such orders will be made as, may be
deemed necessary.
While the general thus indicates his purpose
to respect the liberties of the people, he wishes
all to understand that armed insurrection OF
forcible resistance to the law will be instantly
suppressed by arms.
By command of
MAJOR GENERAL W. s. HANCOCK.

An AssauIt That Didn't stick.

Albert Guerin was before Judge Flint
yesterday, charged with committing an as
sault on Mrs. j. Steltzler. The latter was
in court and illustrated to marked extent
the emotional school of acting. Several
times during the hearing, she went into
violent Mysteries and sobbed bitterly. The
trouble occurred last Sunday morning at
Steltzler's saloon, corner of Sixth and Min
nesota streets, at which Guerin is the bar
keeper.
Mrs.Steltzler went into the saloon and COM
menced to take down some pictures, claimed
as her individual property, on seeing which
it is claimed that Guerin threw her into the
street. The saloon is conducted by her
husband, and it is claimed by Guerin that
the fixtures were mortgaged, and it was
agreed that Mrs. Steltzler was not to be al
lowed to enter the saloon. Defendant
claimed that the latter knocked in the door
with an axe, which was not denied. The
case was dismissed.

WASHINGTON.

Capt. Payne's Invasion of the Indian Ter
ritory--Maynard's Return from Turkey
Bliss Reappointsd--First Comptroller of
the Currency.
WASHINGTON, July l3.-Statements regarding
the preparations for the entry Of Captain
Payne and his followess into the Indian Ter
ritory, and the question relative to the Ponca
Indians leaving their reservation, were topics
of brief discussion at the cabinet meeting to-
day, but no action was taken, it being con-
sidered best not to interfere until something
of an official character had been received.
The question of the st. Louis district attor-
neyship was considered, and it was decided to
reappoint Vim. P. Bliss, the present incum-
bent. The President said he thought Judge
Converse, of Ohio, would eventually withdraw
his declinatiop and accept the Office of first
comptroller of the currer roy, recently rendered
him.
President Hayes will probably leave to-
morrow night for Colun bus, Ohio.
The State departm ent to-day received dis
patch from Minister Maynard, at Constanti-
nople, stating he had been waiting without
success for ten days for an audience with the
sultan to bid him the customary diplomatic
farewell, and asking him whether he should
delay his departure any longer to
obtain audience or to return to the United
States at once. President Hayes directed
reply should be sent instructing Minister
Maynrrd to use his own discretion about wait
ing for an interview with the sultan, but at
the same time urging him to make every rea-
sonable haste to return and take the office of
postmaster general.
The amount of coin now held by national
banks is nearly equal to the cash reserve re-
quired by law.
In the case of the deputy collectors and mar
shals recently arrested in Campbell county,
Georgia, for killing one OF a party of moon
sinners, Commissioner Raum was to-day no.
titled by telegraph that Judge Woods of the
United States circuit court has decided that the
case is in the United States court, that the is-
sue of the warrant by the State magistrate and
arrest under the same, is in fact suit or action
begun, and such case can be transferred to
the United States courts without waiting for
bills found by the State grand jury. The hear-
ing on the habeas corpus writs looking to the
unconditional discharge of the officers will
come up for consideration tomorrow.
The postmaster general has issued an order
intended to break up the existing practice of
certain classes of merchants, manufacturers
inventors and agents. who send through the
mails printed advertising cards of
various shapes and sizes, with
a one-cent stamp affixed. Postofice depart
ment officials complain that this practice,
which is growing evil, has of late become a
serious annoyance and hindrance to the prompt
distribution of mail matter, particularly on
railwayimail seryics. The,order declares posta
cards furnished by the postoffice department
the only card matter that will for the purpose:
indicated be transmitted by mail, whether il
be printed or written upon, at less than three
cents for each half ounce or fraction thereof
The order takes effect October l, 1880.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Boy Cannot be Recaptured by III
State.

Boy Cannot be Recaptured by The
State.
Detective Bresett has been having little
experience in our sister city of Mankato af-
ter the order of Deputy Sheriff Barke, of
Chicago. The facts are as follows: In 1879,
young lad named George Content was in
dicted by the grand jury of Blue Earth
county for the crime of larceny from a
shop. When the case came on for trial the
boy plead guilty, and being under sixteen
years of age, was sent to the State reform
school by Judge Dickinson. About six
weeks ago Content made his escape from
the school. Learning that he had returned
to his home in Mankato about three weeks
ago, Assistant Superintendent Brown, Of
the reform school, went to MaDkato for the
purpose of bringing the boy back. The rel
atives of the boy resisted his arrest,
and MIR. Brown was obliged to return
without his prisoner. The matter was then
placed in the bands of Detective Bresett,
who went to Mankato on Saturday last and
proceeding to the residence of the boys
parents on Sunday, made the arrest, but
not without a strenuous opposition on
the part of the relatives of the boy. 1t is
needless to say he landed his prisoner in
Jail In short time thereafter q writ of
habeas corpus was issued by Judge Dickin-
son, and on Monday the case was argued be-
fore Judge Dickinson. After haring the
on yesterday morning
Judge Dickinson sustained the action of
Bresett in arresting Content, but released
him from custody on the ground that be
(Judge Dickinson) in passing sentence upon
Content, at the time he was sent to the re-
form school, ought to have fxed definite
period of punishment, and failing to do 30,
his own act was illegal. In other words
Judge Dickinson holds that the act of 1872,
extending the punishment of the reform
school to parties convicted of crimes, does
not, in express language, provide for their
being retained until q years of age, that
being provided under previous laws for cases
of incorrigibi1ty. His idea is that the act
of 1872, not being definite in the matter,
that although he as judge can send person
to the reform school fer crime, he must fix
definite time not exceeding the time of
punishment fixed by statute either in
jail or State prison for the crime.
In order to give the State a chance to appeal,
Judge Dickinson continues further con-
sideration of the case, in the meantime
removing the boy to the custody of his
father, at the same time complimenting
Detective Bresest for doing his full duty
in the matter, and complimenting him upon
the manner in which he had acted as an
officer and gentleman.
In the meantime, there was little side
issue going on: in making the arrest,
Bresette was compelled to use some force,
and for this he was arrested on charge of
assault. The case was dismissed, snd Bre
;ett returned home last evening He
speaks in warm terms of praise of the
officials of Msnkato, who done their duty in
rendering him aid.

LONDON, July 13.-After Gladstone's state
ment in the house last night the Irish mem
bers almost unanimously expressed the opin-
ion that the amendment to the compensation
bill of which he gave notice remains to a

LONDON, July 13.-At meeting of the Irish
party last night it was unanimously resolved
that Gladstone's amendment limiting the ope-
rations of the compensation bill to tenants pay
ing ESQ and under destroys
nearly all the usefulness of the measure and
renders it dangerous to the existence of small
tenants by affording further inducements to
landlords to consolidate holdings.
The meeting also resolved to
move to report progress when the bill is again
discussed, in order to afford time to the tenant
farmers to consider whether they will accept
the measures.

THE TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT.


Gen. Walkers Opinion of Gen. Hancock
as Commander.
Superintendent of the Census F. A. Walk
or, who served on Gen. Hancock's staff dur
ing the war, says of the general: "He was
an ideal commander. His presence in the
camp or along the line was like an impulse
which every soldier felt 1t seemed to travel
through the army like q great wave. 1t is
needless to say that he was everywhere be-
loved and admired. It was impossible for
it to be otherwise when one saw the force of
his character and his enthusiasm and energy.
As military genius he was tactician of
great skill and adroitness, as we'll as an ex-
ecutor Of energy and power.
1t is seldom that you find these
qua tiles in one man, for it is generally con-
sidered as incompatible that sagacity
which was almost cunning should be COM
bined with dash and industry. Gen. Han
cock possessed both to high degree. Then
he had all the instincts of a staff officer in
regard to keeping up the discipline and the
condition of his command. He might
have been the Inspector General, for the
care he exercised. Then he had perfect
passion for what is known in the army as
Papers, I remember this from very
lively experience. Oftentimes, when I
had worked twelve or fourteen hours
during the day, and was nearly
ready to drop, he would send for
me, and for two hours longer would keep me
in his tent, going over great mass of CORE
spondence and orders. He has love for all
the details of the camp and of the march, and
capacity to receive and understand them.
He was immensely particular, and man
who, generally speaking, paid apparently
an unnecessary attention to nice points.
Orders and letters must be written
with the greatest punctillo and care,
whether under tree, in the rain, or in
headquarters. He would do work that any
other general would leave to his adjutant,
giving great deal of his time and personal
attention to questions relating to regula.
tions, to breaches of discipline: and to the
various reports, even though of routine ma
ture. When in battle he never issued COM
mands from the rear, but was on the field in
person. Even after he had given an order he
would himself see that it was carried out.
This was not always the pleasantest position
for subordinate officer; but, looking back
now, can see that Hancock's almost invari
able success was due to his incessant wake
fitness and vigilance. He knew what he
wanted, and he knew that q
single word misunderstood might cause dis
aster for his troops, or make him lose vic
tory. He was not willing to run any risks. !"
