ORDER OUT THE TROOPS.

Hon. George ID. Wise having received
letter from the late postmaster at Rockville.
Hanover county, to the effect that he re-
signed in February and no successor had
yet been appointed, went to the Post-OfIice
Department to-day and inquired fully into
the matter He informed Assistant POST
master-General HattOn with emphasis that,
While he was Democrat and did not intend
10 ask 1ayors OF the Department, he demanded
that postmaster should be at once appointed
at the point indicated, so that the people
might have proper postal facilities. Those
who know the Representative from the
Richmond district need not be informed
that his tone was anything but that of a
suppliant, and that the Post-Of1ice officials
saw that they had to deal with one who
was terribly in earnest."-W Washiagton CORE

Really, the Dispatch correspondent makes

indefiniteness only makes the horror of
dread expectancy and apprehension the

We trust that Mr.. Hatton will neglect
nothing to appease the awful wrath of the
member from this district. 1t would be
entirely too bad tor this administration to be
destroyed through its neglect of Mr. George

quickly as possible, for we know not what

THE NEW CHIEF CLERK OF THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

1t Will be gratifying TO our thousands of soldier
readers and friends to learn of the appoint
ment Of Colonel Amos Webster, late Register
Of Wills Of the District of Columbia, and during
the rebellion an aid-de-camp on the staff of
General Grant, as chief clerk of the Treasury
Department. This is one of the best appoint
ments made since President Ar,hur's assump-
tiOn OF the reins OF government, and is ali in
dication that he proposes to recognize the
claims of the men who served their country in
a time Of peril.
Colonel Webster enlisted in the First Massa-
chusetts infantry as a private soldier in 1861,
and was promoted for personal bravery at the
battle Of Williamsburg, Va, May 5, 1862, at
the personal solicitation Of " Fighting Joe
Hooker" who assigned the Colonel TO his staff,
where he served until promoted for gallantry
and brevettcd major, lieutenant colonel, and
colonel. The immortal Lincoln assigned him
to the staff Of General Grant, and he was per-
sOnally present at the surrender Of the CON
federate forces at AppomattOx, Va, in April,
1860
Colonel Webster was born in Boston in 1887,
and was connected with the militia of Massa-
chusetts for many years, having when a mere
lad served as marker" of the Boston Cadets,
only leaving that organization 10 enter the
service Of his country. 1t might be added as
part Of his military record that the confidence
reposed in him by General Grant was such that
he was on various occasions intrusted with the
delivery Of some Of the most important dis
patches sent during the war, discharging the
important duty with promptness and fidelity.
General Grant, appreciating his worth, ten
dcrcd him and he accepted the responsible po-
sitiOn Of Register Of Wills for the District Of
Columbia which he held for nearly thirteen
years with great credit to himself and to the
entire satisfaction Of the citizens Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Colonel Webster has been
since 1871 adjutant-gener of the militia of
the District Of Columbia, and the esprit de corps
existing among our citizen-soldiery speaks
very highly for him as organizer and com
mander. lie has ever been ready to do all in
his power TO advance the interests Of the
boys" and cur friends can rest assured that
whenever he can properly servo them in his
new and responsible field Of labor he will do
sochecrlully and promptly. Italways affords us
great pleasure 10 be able to chronicle the success
Of anv and all members of the great army Of
the Union who fought Tor the perpetuity of cur
comlaon country and the honor of the dear
old flag.

REPuRLICANIsM IN KENTUCKY.

Col. Il. NJ. Kelly, the accomplished editor
of the Louisville Commercial, in the course
of speech delivered at Falmouth, KY, on
the 1st of May, paid the following high
tribute to the Republican party and to the
present Executive:
On grounds of principle, the majority OF
the people of Kentucky should be Republl-
can. The Republican party holds all the
doctrines that gave strength to the Whig
party and all that gave the Democratic
party its original merit and vitality. 1t
has been unpopular in Kentucky by
reason of prejudice and passion. It's de-
yotion to Union and liberty, its great
est merit, has, because reason has not had
full sway, been an obstacle to its growth.
Every man who has to earn his living by
the sweat of his brow should respect the
Republican party if he cannot act with it.
1t took the stigma off labor. AS long as
manual labor was the peculiar occupation
Of slaves freemen could not engage in it
without more or less losing caste where
slaves were. By destroying slavery the
Republican party restored labor to its true
dignity everywhere. 1t is based on the
great American doctrine that every man
is entitled to an equal start and a
fair chance, with no hereditary class
privilege or disability to help-or hinder.
Its history is cne for all its adherents to be
proud OF. Its first fight was for free speech !;
its first act was to give free homes; its
crowning glory to make all our citizens free
men. 1t preserved the Constitution under
the greatest difficulties; it observed it under
the greatest temptations; it amended it in the
most far-reaching and beneficial particulars.
1t met the greatest administrative difficult
ties so as to command the admiration of
the world. In times of the greatest politi-
cal and social disturbances it passed no laws
affecting liberty, except to extend it, and pro-
posed to punish nothing rs crime but what
was recognized and denounced as crime by
all civilized countries in all ages. The real
that it did not carry on war in peaceable
manner. 1t has been the most honest party
that ever administered the Government 1t
has met the Jeffersonian test. 1t has been
honest, capable and true to the Constitution
In the long run, On all issues before the
country, the people will sustain it. 1t will
grow as it ought to grow and has grown N
favor in Kentucky. In off years like this
minor successes may galvanize the Demo-
cratic party with hope and encourage it to
enter another Presidential campaign. But
if the President who came into Office under
such distressing circumstances, whose deli
cacy, dignity and discretion during the
mortal struggle of his murdered predecessor
silenced criticism and disarmed political
animosity continues in the excellent course
marked out in his inaugural address and
message, the Republican party, united,
Jealous and enthusiastic. will triumph, as
its principles and history entitle it to
triumph.
Kentucky ought to be Republican in
time to enjoy the victory.

THE FLASH AND THE BULLET.

Quick in the darkness, like lightning it flashes,
Dazzling and bright,
Then through the air the bullet specds-crashes,
And all's lost to sight.
Up from the musket, hid by the shadows,
Shadows of night,
Rises the curling smoke over the meadow,
Seeking the light.
Still stands the sentinel, anxiously waiting;
Their comes 4 cry:
: Ny God! forgive him; have done hating;
Oh. must | die?"
Up through the Heavens his spirit is rising,
Rising on high
To that land where sorrow trouble, and signing
Never come nigh.

GEN. GORDON AS A STORY-TELLER.

With all the Generals gaiety and imagi-
nation, he is, and always has been, sincerely
pious man, and never went into an engage
ment that he did not ask Divine assistance
and favor Once, however, he almost lost
his gravity at prayers held on the eve of a
battle-the battle of the Wilderness. One
of the common soldiers was called upon to
pray-and men could pray at such times
knowing that within the next hour or two
one or more of them must be lying in the
dust. On this occasion the soldier began:
80 Lord! Thou knowest we are about to
engage i'll terrible conflict, if you take a
proper view of the subject" At this time
the hearers lost their gravity, and fought the
battle of the Wilderness with their internal
spirits giggling all the way through At
another time, when Gordon was about to
lead an attack at Petersburg, he and General
Heath and Some others went into little
school-room on the lines to pray. Sol Heath,
the generals brother and adjutant-general-
who was always on the lookout for drink
was standing little way off, and Henry
Peyton, one Of General Lees staff, beckoned
him to come to the house and Join them.
Sol. did not understand their object but
totally misconceiving it, held up his canteen
and shaking it, said: No, thank you; I've
just got hold of some"

LAKE VILLAGE, n. H., May 2O.-Department
Commander Martin \. Haynes has issued an
official order approving Il circular issued by
Department Chaplain Daniel c. Roberts, in
which the latter says
The work Of securing files of complete reports
of the location Of all graves decorated by the
Grand Army of the Republic is well begun.
Let it be pushed to successful achievement.
Thorougness is more important than haste.
Some sketches of cemetery plans have been
sent, which bear too many marks of haste to
be valuable. Others are excellent. 1t is recon-
mended that Posts seek to enlist towns or citi-
Zens of the towns in raising funds if any be
necessary, towards securing such partial sur
yeys and exact measurements rs may be neces-
sary to the proper location of graves The
drafts used need not be models Of Typographical
skill, but should be the best that can be secured.
Where full reports have previously been sent
no more is required than lists of new graves.
During the last two years the following Posts
have made reports of graves decorated, viz:
Nos. 2, 6, :, TO- 16 %, 80 81, Sc, 81, 80 AZ, 80,
81, Sc, and 81. That is good beginning, but
it is only a beginning, as we now number sixty
three Posts. Let us persevere until this record
is complete. And when our work is done, and
we are departed, let US leave no soldiers grave
unmarked or unrecorded. There are many
difficulties, but they are not too great. This
record, Comrades, is our monument"

Commander, accompanied by the Assistant Ad-
jutant and Assistant Quartermaster Generals,

A DUEL THAT DID NOT TAKE PLACE


Senator Williams and Hon. J. c. 5. Black
burn are both KcntucIlans of the Blue Grass
species. Between them both they secured the
passage Of a bill through Congress appropriate
ing 100000 for the erection OF public build
ing at Frankfort. The Feomau, a newspaper
edited by friend of Blacllhurn's, gave him all
the credit for securing the passage of the bill.
When Senator Williams saw the paper he
wrote an indignant protest to his friend How
ard, who exhibited the letter, and the contents
coming to the knowledge of Blackburn he
wrote Williams, accusing him of misreprcsen-
tatjon. There was blood on the moon for a
willie and duel seemed to be inevitable, each
one claiming share in the honor of getting
the bill through.
Finally, an interference of mutual friends
spoiled first-cIass sensation. The Louisville
