HoRR of Michigan made neat retort in
the House the other day. He was asked if
he was in the army during the war. ''No,"
was his quick reply, 81 was in Ohio. The
fact is there were so many rascally Demo-
Gratis in the rear of our army that some of
the best men in the State had to stay at
home to take care of them.' 1t should not
be forgotten that the Union men had an
enemy in rear as well as in front.

The following is from the Annap.
oils correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette, written under last Saturdays
date
During the coming week the speci-
al committee, of which Mr.. Mcclure
is chairman, to investigate the charges
against Judge Pearre, will take up
the matter. There are but two courses
to be pursued. One is for the House
committee to prefer articles of i'm
parchment. which will be sent to the
Senate, and that body will try the
judge, and if they feel justified, order
his impeachment. The other is for
both Houses, by concurrent action,
to order tn ! governor to remove the
accused, in which case the governor
is compelled to obey.

"While there may be room for hon
est difference of opinion with refer
ence to two or three of the offices
which Mr.. Hamilton desires to
abolish, there is no manner of doubt
that the opposition which has heen
called forth by the message is due
solely to political considerations.
Were Gov. Hamilton IS recommends
tions adopted, a great many very
active political agencies would be
destroyed, which at present are made
to do good service to party leaders.
This is the cause and the only cause
of the opposition which has been
manifested to the admirable sugges
lions Of the Governor, and while it
Is quite probable that the reforms

The Herald of last week, speaking
of the Pearre matter said:

and it is almost the unanimous YER
dict of our people that he should be
impeached at once"
We have found the prevailing sen,

strongly in favor Of Judge Pearre,
and cannot conceive what motive the
editor of the Herald had in making
the above slanderous statement.
