BY perusing the following para
graph, which We clip from the organ
Of last week, our readers will see at {
glance that the same old pencil pushel
on the organ has returned home:
ut is pretty thoroughly proved that Gener
al Hancock got pretty happy at Yorktown
swore like the army in Flanders, and ordered
a national salute in honor of the rebel Gen
Fitz Hugh Lee He disgraced himself by
getting drunk, disgraced the Office Of Major
General by swearing at his comrades like
BLACKBOARD, and disgraced the Nation by
publicly saluting a rebel general whose only
public notoriety consists in being traitor L
the flag, and fighting against the country
at whose expense he became soldier"
OF course the people of Alpena are
all we'll aware that such paragraph
could only eminate from the truly
christian(O mind of so worthy(0 an
Individual as has charge of the edi.
torial department of the organ. Ii
seems to be his special desire and de-
light to stir up strife, keep alive Sec
tional hatred, and to teach brother to
be arrayed against brother But there
Is no necessity for telling such an UNI
wanton lie; Hancock is not running
for office. And even if his conduct
were so odious as represented above,
he would be n fit associate of Gen.
Grant, and should have been a member
of the whisky ring of 1923. Gen.
Fitz Hugh Lee was rebel, but is he
one now? Gen. Mosby was a rebel,
but we do not believe that the organ
man is willing to admit that he is q
rebel yet; no, he has been washed, -
become a Republican. We are not
aware that there are any rebels in the
union of to-day. Then how contemp-
tible, sneaking and cowardly to strike
an opponent after he has surrendered
Yet it seems that the organ runner will
descend TO the depths Of the vilest mud
hole to throw dirt at an opponent but
then. such is his nature, and the poor,
miserable. forlOrn carcass cant help il.
We hardly think it would be fair or
Just to brand Gen. Logan who is now
: stalwart Republican, as a rebel, af-
ter he repented and worked so faith
fully al Chicago to make king of Gen.
Grant, Notwithstanding he voted for
Breckenridge in 1860, and his sympa-
thies were with the secessionists. No,
we believe there is more loyalty in the
little finger of Gen. Logan, or the
great toe Of Fitz Hugh Lee, than in the
whole miserable carcass of the organ
Darling quill driver.
If rebels do still exist in the south,
then the war must have been an utter
failure, and all the patriotic "blood and
treasure expended in the strife, was an
absolute, wanton, cruel waste" which
would be paying high compliment 10
Gen. Grant, and the million Of soldiers
whose obvious duty it was 10 conquer
the rebels, nullify the doctrine Of Sc
cee-ion, and establish peace and har-
mouv in the nation.

A warning TO Railroads AGNInSI OppFea.
AlnE the People,


The Minneapolis Tribune comes 10 US
with the draft Of All elaborate bill, which
has been introduced by Senator Rice into
the Minnesota Legislature, "to regulate
the freight carriage by railroads." The
bill Is understood to Le the outcome
Of prevailing dissatisfaction which
exlGts along the St. Paul, Mime.
apolis 4 Manitoba road In particu.
lar, a part Of which that Senator rcp.
resents, 1t Is very sweeping in It's pro-
visions, but, nevertheless, lie passage ia
said to be certain. 1t prescribes with
great minuLeness what shall bO the rates
imposed upon grain, lumber, sawed wood
and other merchandise; defines what Is a
"Car load," and compels the corpo.
rationS at all timeS TO provide am.
pie storage facilities and TO make
no determinations in favor Of or against
any warehouse or elevator. 1t is also
made unlawful 10 fail to furnish, "under
amy p'etext or excuse whatsoever sulta.
bic cars for the transportation Of freight
whenever requested or demanded" !"
The penalties for the violation Of these
provisions are very severe, namely,
$500 for the Grs. oGsnse, and. for the
second and each subsequent ofsnse,
not less than $1,000 and not more than
5000, The law guards against privately
compromising suits after they have Leen
instituted, by providing (sec. lO!h) that
mo action commenced under the pro
visions Of this Act shall be dismissed un.
less the reason therefor shall be stated on
the record" The Act, which may be &C.
cepted as the newest manifestation Of the
Granger feeling, takes effect June Let,

-The Latter Favorable and Ihe Former
Adverse.
WAsHESGToN, January IS The majority
report presented in the House to day by
Representative Sparks, from the Com.
mittee on Military Affairs, on the bill to
place General Grant on the retired list
with the rank and pay Of General simply
states that "the committee having fully
considered said bill begged leave to report
the same bacx to the House with the
recommendation that II do not pass"
General McOook submitted the views Of
the minority in lengthy repTOt, review.
ing the services OF General Grant aud ex
pressing the opinion that there is an over.
whelmiug public sentiment in favor Of
some measure OF the kind suggested by
the President, and they believe that the
mBj jlrity OF the people without regard to
party AttiliRtion will endorse aud approve
1t.
They quote and adopt the Language Of
the President when he says that the Con.
stituIiOn OF the United States contains
preCedents for the recognition Of distin.
guished military merit, authorizing rank
and emoluments to be conferred for emf.
nent services N the country, and they
refer to the Journal OF this House which
bears eloquent testimony on more than
one occasion to the valuable services Of
General Grant as shown by the formal
thanks Of the Representatives OF the peo.
pie, Should the bill become q law II
would place General Grant upon the re-
tired list Of the army with the rank and pa y |
proper OF General, but subject otherwise
as all understand It to the provisions Of
the law governing retired officers, The
paw OF the rank will be large enough to
snable him to live In that comfortable and
diguihed retirement to which, In our opin-
lon, he IL clearly entitled by his past ser.
vices, and which he was In receipt oil when |
called to the Presidential Chair. The meas.
lre Ia one olsimple justice TO u man whose
services cannot he estimated In dollars

For these and other reasons the
