THE JOHNsON-GRANT MATER.

The JohDson-Grant controversy grows in teresting. Chauncey NJ. Depew, who started it, is collecting all the denials of his story
 and will have more to say by and by. Then he will print his proofs, and expects that the matter will be settled.
 A prominent army officer makes an inter esting contribution to the discussion. He says it was a fact known to the leading Re publicans in Congress that, in the winter of 1866, President Johnson had determined to disperse Congress, and had selected the man to do it. The man was General Gordon
 Granger, then on waiting orders, major
 general in the regular army. considera-
 ble force of regular troops was within call of the order he would have left nothing undone
 to carry it out; but the President found that it would be useless, and gave up the plan. The Republican members of Congress were very much frightened at what they believed was the plan, and in the army appropria- tion bill that winter clause was inserted, understood to have been written by George $, Boutwell,, intended to cover the case. It was published in the general orders of March 12, 1867. It forbade the President to order the general of the army, General Grant, away from Washington, with the consent of the senate, and directed that any military orders issued by the President without pass ing through Grants hands should be null and void. Any officer receiving obeying any orders issued without Grants sanction was to be found guilty of felony and sen fenced from two to twenty years imprison- ment. This law was violently opposed in Congress, but it was passed, and practi- cally took the command of the army out of the Presidents hands; so, if he had attempt ed to take steps over Grants head the latter would be justified in forcib1e resistance. This was meant to be and was powerful factor in preventing Johnson from supersed- ing Grant in the command or getting him away from Washington.
 Senator Sherman is said to know more of the inside history of that time than anybody else, but he has not yet been prevailed on to speak. He positively declines to say any thing concerning the matter, except that he is sorry the subject is reopened, and that it had better be left untouched. Bnt it is too late for that now

American and German Methods of

From the Medical Recordl
 The question whether one or several pus- jules should be made in vaccinating is one that is hardly raised at all in this country. Even in the elaborate and careful article upon the ''Technics of Vaccination" by Dr. Foster, in Peppers System of Medicine, !" no reference is made to the matter. Yet it is well known that the profession in Germa- ny have very settled convictions that several pustules should be made. The German com mission, which met year ago at Berlin to discuss and formulate conclusions upon the subject of vaccination, took up, among othsr things, this point. ''In what relation," it was asked, ''does the number of vaccinia pustules stand to the protective influence of the vaccinationg'
 According to Dr. R. Koch, out of seven | hundred and three smallpox in the Stockwell | hospital, there died of those having no scars | forty-seven per cent. of those having poor | Al per cent; having three good scars, 2.3 per cent; having four or more scars, II per cent. From this it would be inferred that a person having four scars on his arm is al- most certain, even if he gets small -pox, to go through it safely. Koch himself takes the position positively that the protective power of vaccination is in direct relation to the number of vaccinia postules.

 How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Oar soul is lost in admiration

 As Gall men are born free and equaI," as fan. as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be b6EfR physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as
 long as people persist ill immor- ality and iniulgencies which are ill disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals. To this end we offer to the pub lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results ill OverthrOWing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of Scrofula
 Cured by

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravatlng forms. At one time I had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and aroundmy neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass Of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally. on the recommendation of w. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptionhs h nave Hf1 entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully leSS' I do not know what It may have done for others, but do know that Tn my case Hoods Sarsaparllla has proved an effective specific indeed.

 Senator Malone has made arrangements to station two white men of his party at every voting place, one to see that the blacks, who are to be marched up to the polls in squads commanded by captains, have straight tick cts, aud the other to keep a record of the totol number of votes and of the numbe of | Republican votes cast.

 The best winter apples have been so abundant and cheap this season in New Eng land and parts of New York that farmers could afford to pick only so many as they | needed for their own use, but there has been a good market for them in England.
