Andrew Jt hii-on is no less unfon.i

Lewis Y. Bogy, of St. Louis, the left

selected as a fit and proper man to fill

it seems that he proceeded to a harv'esl
of spoils wn!i t-uch indecent haste ib.at

Washington special says :
In conversation wth Gen. Grant to

President's veto of the District suiTrago
bill, the General said ha was present
by invitalmn and took no part in the

President asked his views- on ibe sub
ject. Grant replied briefly on th ob
jection urged by ona member of the
r-t . i . . . i . . i i n
catiuei iiiatiDi! uiil was unconstitu
tional, because il disfranchi-es rebels
without trial was. in h:s pinion, the
best part of the bill. With reference
! to conferring suffrage upon colored
peopi oi me uistrict, ne always thought
it inconsistent on the part of Congress,
to enforce this rirrbt while it refused to
grant it to the tame class in their own
States. U pon the arfrrjrrient and prir.e
ciples in the message he uttered no
opinion whatever.
An o'd Scotch Clergyman, in a,
sermon, once took occasion to analyze
the word "Devil." in a new and novel
way. "Tack away the D," sa d he.
'and it leaves eri; tack away the E.
and it leaves rile; tack away the V,
and it leave ill; in fine, tack him any
way you will, he's an ill, vile, evil, dev
il." A very appropriate name for the
evil spirit when viewed thus.
