The robber, the pirate, and the assassin
were recognized Institutions, and none
dare oppose them. To right such dis

age, stern Justice, and a rule approach

found in Gen, Tacon, as the sequel will
show
One of Tacons first public cares, after
his appointment was to visit the state
prisons. He interrogated every prisoner
as to the cause of his confinement aud
the length OF time he had been there. He
found that some of them had been i'm

wasted with wretchedness and their minds
crushed by despair. Having no friends

one of these prisoners stated that he had
been majordomo on the estate of the
Count of Philamenoy who was then aud
itor of war under Tacon. The count owed
him $1,000 for services, and TO avoid max
ing the payment had him imprisoned in
the castle. Tacon was mortified and sur
prised and cautioned the man to be sure
and tell him the truth, for he was deter
mined TO investigate the matter thorough

said was true. Thereupon Tacon had the
Count of Philameno summoned 10 meet
the prisoner before him the next day. As
the captain general had before this refus-
ed persistentiy to receive the visits or the
presents of the nobility, the count was
flattered by the summons, and came at
the time appointed, very much dressed up

Detroit, Sept. 1O.-The reception given TO

his fellow citizens was a huge success.

from his residence, on Fort street, to

marchers headed by the Detroit battal-

Company NJ of the Thirty-third Michigan

headed by Detroit post, and about 200 De-
troit letter carriers.
When Gen Alger, Col. Hecker Gov.
Pingree and other speakers of the even
ing assembled the platform, the audience
rose and cheered for the secretary.
A number of speeches, highly eulogistic
of Secretary Alger, were made, and then
the distinguished guest of the evening
was introduced by Hon. Alfred Russell.
Gen. Alger said, in part: II thank God l
am at home again. had not expected such
a welcome, and my heart is too full TO be

misery, but with one single exception there
has been. no complaint to the department
from the men in the field. The men are all
heroes; those who have spent their time in
the camps in the South, as well as those
who fought in the terrible campaigns"
Secretary Alger praised the work of the
transportation department at the head of
which was Col. Hecker of Detroit. The
reception closed with three rouslng Cheers
for the whole Michigan outfit in the
war"
When the secretary began his hand
shaking with the multitude he was borne
to the platform and thousands of his fell
low townsmen grasped his hand in a man
ner which was anything but perfunctory.
