HIS MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
~ was in those dsys elected Colonel OF
the Fifth regiment, and in my command
was company Of Irishmen called the
Jackson Musketeers. In the heat Of his
knownothingism Governor Gardiner or.
dered me to transmit an order as Colonel
Of the Fifth regiment disbanding the Irish
company. This fatty declined to do,
and Gardiner removed me from my Office.
l went to the Supreme Cont and asked for
q mandamus compelling him to restore me
to my rank and regiment. Seeing that
would beat him, Governor Gardiner, as
commander-in. chief Of the State forcee, ia
sued an order dlsbauding tho various rpgi-
ments and reorganizing them. The effec.
OF this order Was to make my regiment the
Sixth instead OF the Fifth. OF course that
ssttled my case. Subsequently by re-
signstion the Office OF Btigadier Gener.

the various State militia officers whose
duty it was to elect his successor elected
me to that office, and that il how I came

Ny BELIEF IN BLAINE.
The rieh have tho utmost confidence in
him. They know that he will not send
them to England even if demanded upon
some political pretext. They believe he
will not act as policemen for England in
this country or allow the officers Of this
Union to act as policemen. They know
that be Ia protec,ioniat and that he will
take care OF American industries. Irish.
men remember how Ireland's industries
were crushed out by Eugland's free trade
ideas, and they want no repetition Of Eng.
