LINCOLN ON MCCLELLAN.
A "Reminiscences Related by Ex-Gov-
ernor Austin Blair of Michigan.

Detroit (Aich.) Free Press.
In a recent address ct Bellevue, Michi-
gan. Ex-Governor Austin Blair gave an
account of the convention of Governors
Of Northern States that met at Altoona,
Pennsylvania, at the time of the issuing
of the emancipation proclamation by
President Lincoln, in 1862. The conyen-
ton was called to bring an influence to
bear upon President Lincoln to induce
him TO issue a proclamation or do
some act that should set at liberty
the 100000 slaves; but the President
outvitted the y Governors by issuing
the proclamation the same day their con-
vention met. The Governors then de-
cided to 90 on to Washington and present
TO the President, not the urgent resolu-
lions they had intended, but an address
complimenting him upon the step he had
taken. This address was prepared in an
able manner by Governor Andrew, OF
Massachusetts, who read it to President
Lincoln as he sat at his desk, while the
Governors were seated around the room.
After that an incident happened that Gov.
Blair said he had never related to any one.
Gov. KirkwOod, of Iowa, since a United
States Senator and Secretary of the In
terror, rose and said:
s.Mr. President should be delighted
could l return to my home and say to the
people of Iowa that the President of the
United States believes General George b.
Mcclellan is a loyal man. He branched
off upon other subjects connected with
the war, and then closed by repeating
with more emphasis: II shouldibe glad,
Mr.. President, to be able to tell the people
of Iowa that you believe in the loyalty
and patriotism of George B. Mcclellan"
Taking his feet down from the desk
upon which they had been resting, Mr.
Lincoln sprang to his feet and straight
ened up apparently two inches taller than
usual, and said, with much force and APP
parent eXcitability: ''Loyal! George B.
Mcclellan is as loyal as any one of you."
Then stopping a moment the Presidents
face assumed its naturally pleasant look,
and he continued in natural and pleasing
tone: ''Pll tell you, gentlemen, General
Mcclellan is an exceedingly well informed
General, and is very careful-in fact, too
careful-and the great trouble with him
is that when he wins a victory he doesn't
know what to do with it."
''Why not try somebody else" mildly
suggested Governor Blair.
eve might do that and might lose an
army by it," was the quick response of
the President, which Governor Blair adj
mitted completely endorsed him.

Military and naval records in this coun-
try are not without precedent for the
prompt and summary dismissal OF officers,
without a formal trial, and for Offenses
less fragrant than those charged on MAJ.

bad conduct of certain naval officers: Let

State Senator Barnett Gibbs, of Dallas,
returned last night from an extended trip
to Mexico. In an interview in the Daily
Times he says that he was surprised at
what he saw and heard concerning the
late Indian campaign in the Southwest
He went into the valleys and country
which were lately overrun by the
Apaches, and visited the scenes of Gen.
Crooks late exploits. He says that the
residents of those valleys laugh at the
newspaper accounts of the captures made
by General Crook The say that instead

for a powwow. This was granted, and
the warriors came in, and in the bOldest
manner told General Crook that he
would be allowed to leave on cOndi-
ton that he. would promise to get
the government to permit them to
return to the reservation without
punishment. This he promised because
he could not help himself. The residents

Gen. Crook that some of their men were
without horses, and that as soon as they
could go down into the Mexican settle

follow him into the reservation. They did
this, killing several MeXicans on their way.

had to pay $50 for the watch. Crook, not

solid Tor Plumber.
III

On one question only is the Republican
party harmonious. The one underlying
principle, the one bond Of union which in
fluences, animates and guides alike the
protectionist and the free trader, the re-
former and the boss, the prohibItionlst
and the distiller. is the cohesive power Of
public plumber. This is the key note Of
their harmony, and it is well that it should
be so. because here a real issue is raised,
and on this platform the Republican party
finds itself antagonized and opposed by
united Democracy, determined to put an
end to public plumber, fixed in the pur-
pose of putting the plunderers out and
Uuttinp honest men in.

The surplus is a great fact, and SO far
as it exceeds the requirements of the sink
ing fund it will be regarded by great
many persons as absolute proof that taxes
are too high. Can any method OF dis
tributiOn be devised by which each tax
payer shall receive fair return for mis-
contribution? A distribution among the
States in proportion to population does
not seem to meet the demands of fairness.
An equitable reduction of tax rates is the
fairest. easiest, and cheapest method Of
reducing the surplus.

judge Freedman's decision that money
left in trust for the procuring Of masses
for the soul of a Mrs. Gilman could not
be used for such a purpose, is provoking
much discussion. The basis for the
courts decision is that the beneficiary of
the trust is dead and therefore no trHst
could lawfully be created. The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania has ruled to the
contrary. and an appeal from Judge
Freedman's decision will probably be
taken, the issue of which viii be awaited

First Indian Graduate of Roanoke Wa.
College.

y
''That the Christian faith may be propa-
gated amongst the Western Indians to the
glory of Almighty God,' was one of the
reasons assigned in the royal charter for
founding William and Mary College.
There is no record however, to show that
an Indian ever received a degree from that
famous institution. Although Roanoke
College has been attended by ChOctaws
for thirteen years, Mr.. William Harrison
Mckinney is the first one to complete the
course and receive a degree, Bachelor
of Arts. He has the distinction of being
the first Indian, of full blood, to gradu-
ate at a Virginia college. Mr.. Nc
kinney's ChOctaw speech, so well deliv-
cred in his native tongue and then in En-
glish, on commencement day, was fea-
ture of special interest. 1t was received
with so much applause that Mr.. Charles
Dudley Warner in presenting the English
Prize Scholarship, remarked that s'Choc-
taw must be the favOrite language in Sa-
lem" This demonstration of approval
showed the goodwill and sympathy of the
many friends made by Mr.. Mckinney
during his stay of five years at the COL
lege. His standing in scholarship here
leads US to expect that he will succeed
well in his theological studies prepara-
tory to entering the Presbyterian Minis
try, Now only twenty-three, he has the
promise of long and useful life among
his people in the Indian Territory"
