idly. Justice Gardner eyed him from head
to foot and then glanced at the list of en-
ployes. The letter carrier took from his
coat pocket copy Of the half breed circu-
lar, and delivered few greenbacks. Judge
Gardner took the money, counted it, and
laid it on his table.
''This is not enough" he said gruffiy.
"You are assessed at one per cent"
1T is all that can spare, sir, the poor
man said IT am unable to pay more"
+ i.Then you can keep your money" Jus
tice Gardner retorted;l but etook care to
keep his hand over the greenbacks he had
already received. Overawed by the man
ner Of the agent of the state committee,
the carrier planked down another green
back, and Justice Gardner, eagerly adding
it to that already extorted; said that was
the proper way to do business. A long
line of men then walked singly before JUS
tice Gardner. Many of them had evident
ly been taught lesson by the treatment
to which the letter-carrier had been sub
lected. No trouble was experienced with
those who were in the room during Justice
Gardeners conversation with the one-armed
emplove Fverv man as he arrived
in front of the collector took from one OF
his pockets copy of the circular, in which
had been wrapped the requisite amount OF
money Occasionally a victim protested
against the amountlevied, and then he was
quietly given to understand that If he did
not desire to pay the required sum he
needn't pay anything, and the manner IN
which this information was gently convey
ed always had the effect of bringing forth
the additional amount.

All is of course lovely in the republican
party and the stalwart lion and half breed
lamb are lying down together with every
prospect of said lamb getting up alive;
harmony reigns and there is nothing but
brotherly love everywhere, ard yet once in
a while signs of discomfort will crop out.
The Albany Express is the stalwart organ
of New York state, official paper, and
has the confidence of its faction and
yet it comes out in this manner THE
genuine, equity, disgruntled half-breed
goes about the streets of Albany, Buffalo
and other places with the malace of the
depraved white and the malignity of the
debauched Indian whose Initiated blood
courses through his veins, attacking all re-
publicans not of his stripe. and swearing
vengence in his rawlings upon all republic
cans who do not look upon the senatorial
contest precisely as he regarded it. This
pestilent creature is such chronic bolter
that he might almost be trusted to bolt his
own nomination, if the party was luckless
enough to take him up"

General Sherman in his report of tn

General Sherman in his report of the
army was incorrect enough to reflect on
the engineer corps, and that branch of the
service is now replying to him. The Gen
eral was very careless when he remarked
that the other branches of abe service did
all the fighting when war came, for if he
had referred to any school history he
would have discovered that more than half
the best generals the war produced on
both sides were from the engineers corps.
McClelland, Mead, Mcpherson, Pope,
Rosencranz, Halleck, HUMPHREYS, Weitze1
Wright, Park, Gilmore, Mansfield, Badly
Smith, J. FL. Wilson, Franklin, and many
others on the Union side, and Lee, Beau
regard, Albert Sidney Johnson Longstreet
and others in the rebel army were educa-
ted as engineers. There will be lively
discussion on ting point, and General Sher-
man will receive little sympathy
