WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June 2s.-Ths
reply of the Secretary OF state TO tho
protest OF the japanese government
against the annexation OF Hawaii has
been forwarded to the japanese legation

The legation probably will nlo a supple

note of the State Department Is worded
in a most careful and diplomatic manner
and its meaning is somewhat obscure as

HN HONEST ENEMY.
Nothing Is Lost When You Know Where
1t Is.

Nothing Is Lost When You Know Where
1t Is.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
battle of Helena, Ark, July 4, 1868, eight
men of Cos. + and III, 32d Mo-, were made
prisoners by the Johnnies in the graveyard
battery, which was captured by Parsons 9
Division during the fight and held until
after the charge on Fort Curtis had been re-
pulsed.
Among the prisoners was Mike Hit, a
jolly, stout veteran, whose good humor kept
his company laughing half the time. The
captured were taken to Little Rock with
Prices retreating army, at which place Hit
became quite chummy with a certain rebel
Orderly Sergeant of the 10th No. One day
the Orderly borrowed Mixes knife to cut
something, and neglected to return it.
Not long afterward arrangements were
made TO exchange the prisoners for an equal
number Of Confederates held by us, and
without previous notice the men were
hastily collected and marched to steamer
at the landing to 60 North. When about
half way to Helena, Mike suddenly remem-
bered abont his knife, and wanted the boat
turned right back to 20 after it.
The other prisoners objected; III fact,
nearly everybody objected but Mike. He
was half inclined to 20 back afoot and alone
and get his property, if he had to brave the
whole Transmississippi army to do it. or
course, the boat kept right on toward
Helena, but all the noise of her pulling and
paddles could hardly down the echoes of
Mikes remonstrances.
For months afterward he would break out
occasionally about his hard luck in having
to leave that knife in Little Rock. Not
withstanding Price was defeated and failed
to captare the rich stores at Helena Mike
insisted his expedition could not be con-
sidered total failure as long as that jack
knife remained in rebel hands.
Nearly q year later-April 8, 1664,-at
Pleasant Hill, La, the 33d Mo. again crossed
swords with their rebel neighbors of the 18th
Mo. When the fight was over we had made
q number of prisoners. In looking them
over Mike soon espied his friend the Or
Sergeant, whose memory had proved
SO treacherOus at Little Rock. He greeted
him with the warmth of blood relation,
and while still shaking him vigorously by
the hand, shouted: "Say, Serges n, you for
got to give me back my knife"
Yes, Mike, that's So" answered the Ser
geant. 81 thought you were so glad to part
with US you would forget it, too"
Not much! !" exclaimed Mike.
couldn't forget it; | dreamed about it."
Well, here it is" said the Sergeant div
ing down into his pocket and fishing it up.
e" It's nearly as good as new"
You bet " said Mike and as his fingers
closed around its familiar buckhorn handle
his smile WAS like the smile of she that
taketh a city."-EDMUND MARSH.

equanimitv OF one so guarded and so prudent
as he is what will be the result with me, SO
careless, so Outspoken, as | am? Therefore,
with my consent, Washington never.
As to the Secretary Of War, his office is
twotold. AS a Cabinet officer, he should not
be there without your hearty, cheerful assent
and | believe that is the judgment and opin-
ion of every fair minded man. As the holder
of a civil office, having the supervision of
moneys appropriated by Congress and Of con-
tracts for Army supplies, | do think Congress
or the Senate by delegation from Congress,
has lawful right to be consulted. At all
events. | would not risk a suit or contest on
that phase of the question.
The law of Congress Of March 2, 1867, pre-
scribing the manner In which orders and in
structiOns relating TO - military movements !"
shall reach the Army, gives you as constitu-
tional Commander-in-Ch Chief the very power
you want to exercise, and enables you to pre-
vent the Secretary from making any such or
ders and Instructions; and. consequently, he
cannot control the Army, but is limited and
restricted to duty that an Auditor of the
Treasury could perform.
You certainly can afford to await the result.
The Executive power IS not weakened, but
rather strengthened. Surely he is not such
an obstruction as would warrant violence, or
even show of force, which would produce
the very reaction and clamor that he hopes
for to save him from the absurdity of holding
an empty Office for the safety of the
country"
This is as much as l ought to say, and
more, too, but if it produces the result will
be more than satisfied; viz, that be simply
allowed TO resume my proper post and duties
in St. Louis.
With great respect, yours truly,

SURELY A FIGHTING REGIMENT.
Capt. Burt, of the 10th Ohio, Makes Plea
for His Organization.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
issue of Oct. 81, mention is made of "a
fighting Ohio regiments included in the 800
fighting regiments mentioned in FOx's
regimental losses. Now, cannot see why
the 10th Ohio, commanded by Col. Charles
r. Woods, and recruited at Newark, o.,
should not have had honorable mention
with Ohio's fighting regiments.
l do not believe any Ohio regiment can
show a better fighting record or made longer
marches. It's fighting was done at Fort
Donelson, Shiloh, Siege of COrinth, Milliken's
Bend Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post
Deer Creek, Jackson, Vcksburg, siege of
Jackson, Canton, Lookout Mountain, Mis-
sionary Ridge, Ringgold, Ressca, Dallas,
Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta July %.
Ezra Chapel July %, Jonesboro, Lovejoy,
the siege Of Savannah, Columbia, S. c., and
Bentonville.
The regiment marched fully 5000 miles,
including the march from Memphis 10
Bridgeport, the March to the Sea, and the
march from Savannah to Washington. and
was carried by water and rail 5000 miles
more, and was in all the Southern States ex-
cept Texas and Florida.
Its first Colonel, Charles r. Woods, was
promoted to Major-General; Lieut.-Col.
William b. Woods was promoted Brigadier-
General, and the Major, Willard Warner,
was made Inspector-General on Gen. Sher-
mans staff previous to the Atlanta cam
paign.
The regiment was mustered out at Louis
Vile, KY, July 10, 1865, having served three
years, five months and II days. and lost by
death from disease and wounds and killed
in battle 325 officers and men. Ifthis record
doesn't entitle the 18th Ohio to be men
toned as one of Ohio's fighting regiments,
| would like to gaze on the record that can
make better showing.-R. W. BURT, Cap
tain, Co. III, 10Th Ohio, Peoria, Ill.
while there is no sketch of the 10th
Ohio given in the part of Col. Fox's book
entitled "Three Hundred Fighting Regi-
ments," the regiment is mentioned under
the head of Greatest Losses in Battle"
At Arkansas Post its loss is stated to
have been II killed, 81 wounded; at Mis-
sionary Ridge, Is killed, 43 wounded, mis-
sing The general statistics of the regi-
ment given are: Killed and died of wounds,
8 officers SO enlisted men !; died of disease,
accidents, in prison, etc, officers, 266 en-
listed men total deaths, 361.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-11-18

There were also other causes than "scci-
dental exposures in open spaces " for some
of the differences in losses. For instance, at
Vicksburg, Miss when the works were as
saulted, May 90, 1863, our regiment was
selected 10 lead the Fifteenth Corps Our
Colonel had recently been nominated as a
Brigadiei- General. He asked his brother
in-law, who then commanded said corps,
to let him lead the charge with his old regi-
mens, which request was granted.
| will admit that pure circumstances were
a frequent cause of discrepancies in the
losses of different regiments, as the comrade
contends. but l contend that there were
also occasions where certain regiments were
placed in those F" open and exposed places.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %, 1868.
My DEAR GENERAL: | am quite clear in
the opinion that il is not eXpedient for the
President to take any action now in the case
of Stanton. 20 far rs he and his interests are
concerned, things are in the best possible con-
dition. Stanton is in the Department, not his
Secretary but the Secretary of the Senate,
who have taken upon themselves his sins, and
who place him there under q large salary 10
annoy and ohstruct the operations of the
Executive This the people well understand,
and he is stencil in the nostrilS of their own
party.
/ thought the nomination of Cox at the
proper iuncture would have been wise as
peace offering, but perhaps it would have let
off the Senate too easily from the effect of
their arbitrary act. Now the dislodging of
Stanton and filling the office even temporarily
without the consent of the Senate would raise
a question as to the legality of the Presidents
acts, and he would belong to the attacked
instead Of the attacking party.
If the war between Congress and the Pres
ident is to 60 on, as | suppose it is, Stanton
should be ignored by the President. left to
perform his clerical duties which the law
requires him to perform, and let the party
bear the odium which Is already upon them
for placlnI him where he Is. so much for
the President.
As to yourself wish you as far as possible
TO keep clear of political complications. |
do not think the President will require you
TO do an act of doubtful legality. Certainly
he viii not without sanction Of the opinion
of his Attorney General; and you should have
time, i'll questionable case, TO consult with
me before called upon to act.
The office OF Secretary of War is civil
office, as completely so as that Of Secretary Of
State; and you as a military officer cannot. |
think, be required TO assume or exercise it.
This may, if necessary, be subject for
further consideration. Such, however, will
not, i think, be the case. The appeal is to
the people, and it is better for the President
TO persist in the course he has for some time
pursued let the aggressions all come from
the other side, and / think there is no doubt
he will do so.
Aflectionately, L. EWING.
To Lieut.. zen. SHERMAN.

Stanton on the subject unless he asks your
advice. 1t will do no good, and may en-
baTrass you. did not mention your name
to him, at least not in connection with his
position. or what you thought upon it.
All'that Mr. johnson said was pacific and
compromising. While think he wanted the
constitutionality Of the - Tenure Bill y tested,
think now he would be glad either to get
the vacancy of Secretary of War, or have the
Office just where it was during suspension.
Yours truly, L. 5. GRANT.
