IT IS understood that the reason Mr.
Hale, of Maine, was 80 anxious to have the
the nominations Of Collectors Chase, Of his
State, and Pilsbury, of Massachusetts,, re-
jected, was his desire to remove the impress
sion created by a recent article in the New
York Tribune that he is not as stalwart
as he used to be, which, he thought, would
injure his chances for re.clsc,ion, and help
the prospects of Mr.. Reed, an ADLER man,
who will oppose him.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3.

WHY THE G.. A. R., or any body else' Tor
that matter, should have objected to the
panorama of the second battle of Manassas
now on exhibition in Washington, on Inc
ground of the feelings it engenders, Is naru
to tell, iuasmuch as every man in vie" IS
represented as fighting like 1urk' anu
none as running away. However, as ~
does portray battle in which the oonie leu,
crates gained victory, nothing else VIII
satisfy the "truly loyal". but that it snail De
Offset By one that represents federal Victo'
~. Therefore the panorama OF Inc
battle of Chicamauga is to be e7-
hibited in the same city, at the sight OF
which the hearts of those who did object to
what they thought was to be panorama OF
the first battle of Manassas, lean glow with
patriotic PRIDE" 1t is shrewdly suspected
that the directors, though members OF the
G. A. R., never saw much fighting.

IT Is probable that prohibition Will be
adopted in a large portion of the State, as
the negroes will vote with any party ana
for eny thing, that will weaken the demo-
cratic party. Especially will they do SO in
the case referred to, as the sale of liquor
will not be lessened, but its price tie cheaper.
ed, as the removal Of the tax on its sale viii
of itself alone be good profit TO the sellers.
As good citizens will not break the law, the
reputable wholesale and retail liquor deal
ers, and the hotel and restaurant keepers OF
this city, should the law be adopted here,
as is by no meaus improbable, will have to
close their establishments and move away,
and the business of the brewers and distll-
lers be seriously injured. The same guam
tity of liquor, however, will be consumed,
but it will come quietly from Washington.

few minutes conversation with him be-
came satisfied that his memory is poor,

North Middletown, Ky, who knew Mr..
Barker well, would know all about old
Pilot.
Upon the whole, we have no doubt
whatever but that Mr.. Forman gives the
true account of the taking of Pilot to
New Orleans. 1t will be seen that his
statement differs but little from the old
account of Pilots appearing at New Or

II. b. Winship (2;2O -, and to pole
with running mate 2;OG), by AristoS
(2;27 30, dam, by Col. Moulton,
looks fit to go into training again
and beat his unequalled trotting
record to pole. Probably no horse ever
lived that has won so many heats in such
fast time, with so few breaks, as this cell
ebrated son of Aristos. Winship is I'M
doubtedly one of the finest gentleman :
rOadsters that can be found, He will be

Editor Register:-I have IL mare, "Nellie
Hale" by Col. Ellsworth, son of Gen. Knox
that tried to have j. II. Wallace register, but
he would not because of lack of identity.
Mr.. Carl Hale of Indiana bought Col
Ellsworth of Joseph Baker of East Boston;
he was then called Col. Ellsworth and "the
Clark horse" and was not registered ut that
time, about $50. After Mr.. Hale got him, he
called him "Gcn. Knox Jr." on account of the
popularity of the knoXes at that time, and
some one East had him registered, unknown
to Hale, under the name of Col. Ellsworth.
We never found it out until we gave the pcdi-
gree of Gen. Knox Jr. to Wallace, which was
the same rs Col. Ellsworth rs registered. 1t
is not denied by any one that Joseph Baker
owned Col. Ellsworth and have letters from
his widow and niece, also from his former
partner, Magcc, who all state that Carl Hale
bought Col. Ellsworth of Baker and took him
to Indiana. Mr. Hale says that he bought
Col. Ellsworth of Baker and brought him to
Indiana, and he bred and raised my mare
Nellie Hale. But with all this Wallace refuses
to register her and her filly "Gail" by Argo-
naut, as they are entitled. DO you know any.

him in Indiana-or can you give me any in.
