And Josef let on and wept, when
Pollock oitetitashusly handed him a

"Ef I held any hetrodox views, I hev

Findin they wus bound to stay, we
went on. The first thing ia order wus

At this pint Bigler arose. He wau
tid to know ef this Convenshun, stylia
itself Denocratic. wus agoin to be eat

called for the read in of the regler one,
without wich, no Democratic platform

white iutn. ' Ilre it is," he eaic':
ResolvrJ, That this Govern i e,it wus
establUheiil by white men, and that
white men will keep it intact for white
men and their posterity forever
"I demand esa white man." says this
Bigler, "that this resolooshen be added.
Let every white man every proud cau
cashen, w ho believes in race, say 'aye'
and with emphasis."
And every one uv rm hollered out
"aye" witlii all ther mi.e

JSy Wendell Phillips, in a recent
ettt-r, speaks of General Butler'o con
duct in the impeachment cafe as fol
lows:
"Without reflecting ou any other
manager, since all have done rind will
do their duty, the nation, up to this
hour, lhanks General Bmler for the
success of the impeachment. His vig
or, skill, tireless energy, unequalled
ability, have carried it on. After
standing that one immortal hour in the
breathless Senate Chamber, and seeinr
ihe four ablest lawyers Johnson could
summon, entirely bowed, disconcertedt
appalled, silenced by his fckitl sitting
in mute bewilderment he needs no
word i t praise. That scene, unparal
leled iu judicial annals, must be testi
mony enough to his ability. We can
assure him ttiat the loyal millions en
joyed his iriuu ph, deemed it only his
due, and thanked nun most cotoiaiiy
that ttucLi skill was used on
the right
side.'
ALTA VULA.
Nelson, the President s Tennessee
buncombe orator, had the bad taste the
other day to bring into the impeach
meul trial a refeience to the Alia Vela
case, in which he charged some of the
Managers with improper action. The
controversy over Alia Vela commenced
some months ago between Secre
tary Seward and Andrew Johnson's
friend and legal adviser, Jerry Black
Aita Vela is a small island or key
half a mile wide and three quarters of
a mile louj. It lies about sixteen mile
south of the southernmost cape of St.
Domingo. On this desolate island
Baltimore arm discovered guano and
troceeued to gather and ship it lo the
LTuited States. The Domimoiaus
however, came in on them, broke up
the works, and held the workmen in
captivity for a month. The Baltimore
merchants consequently 6ued for pos
session of the island and damages douc
their property. They employed Black
as their counsel. Seward decided
agaiusi their cluinv Black replied in
a bitter persona! comn.unicaticn, accus
ing Seward1 of falsehood, treachery,
men al and moral unfitness for his po
sition, and other equally dignified terms
It has transpired that a letter of
Black's withdrawing from ihe counsel
was written after an interview where
in nothing was said regarding the with
drawal. The President had declined
to give any decision tor or against
Black in the Aita Vela case, and
Black thought it necessary to bring the
subject before Congress, where it
would of necessity be conducted in hos
tility to the President's course. After
leaving Mr. Johnson, Mr. Black wrote
him from his office thut he could not
abandon his clients in thd Aha Vela
case, aud that nothing more could be
done, except to appeal it to Congress,
and that there the attack would be di
retted against thf President, and that
.wjr such circumstances he could not
consistently appear for him before the
Semue iu the approaching trial. lie
further ci lied th. attention of Mr.
Johnson to the fact that from the first,
be staled to the President that retain
iiinr him as one of the counsel would,
only prejudice his case on account of
the strong feeling against him (Black)
ou the pari cf the Radicals." For these
reasons he withdrew
Nelson's reply lo Butler'a defence
of himself in regard lo this affair was
understood to bo a challenge lo fight a
duel.
This called out Sumner's resolution
of censure. So the Aim Vela affair
has had un unpleasant odor all around.
Jifuscaiine Jour nil.
"jCTA correspondent of the St.
Joseph Herald gives his opinion of the
B.g Muddy," and tells how he Ji7
gel along:
"I think it can tafely bo asseried
that the Missouri is crookedest river
in the world. Just above Sioux City
boats go westward, then following
the hind around we found ihe boat go
ing eaeiward, another bend shaped
our course north, thence around anoth
er point and we found her tteering
soMihward until we landed ai a woud
yard just five miles from Sioux City,

m m
rTA Nashville paper publishes
quite a long list of colored men ia that
ci;y, who have accummulated property
ranging in the teveral cases from
S2.000 to SoO.000. Many of them
bought their freedom and that of their
wives and children before the war.
.cyit is truly amusing to see the
freaks of the Ji's loyal party. At one
lime they harp on the national debt
and the burdensome taxes. When a
reduction is "made on the tax of some
article, and the income from that
source is consequently less, they make
that a prominent hobby. They grum
ble if you do and they grumble if you
don't. They never are satisfied unless
they are feeding at the public'crib.

that the Peaca CommisHouers threat

peace. Whether the threat will bnug

whether if they do not the threat will

IMiil. Slieridau at Fisher's Hill.
Some new views of the "Fight at
Fisher's Hill" are given by James F.
Fill in the last Galaxy, who himself
was an actor iu the affray. The fol
lowing anecdote w ill bear repeating:
As evening approached on the day of
the fight, Sheridan had entirely com
pleted his dispositions, and had his army
in hand to his entire satisfaction. His
intention was not, however, to attack
that night, probably esteemiug it best
to await the dawn of another morning;
and he had withdrawn a little to the
rear, where head quarters had been
hastily established; intending to rest a
little, when a curious coincidence
changed his plans and sent him for
ward that night to victory. An aide
rode up with ihe announcement:
"General Crook sends Lis compli
ments, sir, and says he is ia position.
He'd like to have you know, sir, that
his men are in capital spirits."
"Glad cf it," said Sheridan. "Tell
him to stay where h is."
In less than three minutes up came
another aide with another message.
"General Wright's compliments,
general. He is ready to attack any
minute, and the men are anxious' for
it. They were never in better spirits."
"Good, again!" responded Sheridan.
"Tell the general he will hear from
me in good lime."
And hardly had he uttered the words
when aide number three came up at a
gallop.
Ganeral Emory sends his compli
ments, general He told me to say to
you that that the enemy has developed
nothing but a weak picket on his left.
The corps is in excellent spirits."
'Well, now, by George, if the whole
army is in such good trim and temper,
why delay it? We won't as sure as
srs ni ! 'tt

to the aide, "ride Lack to General
Emory, rapidly and tell him to attack

Crook. Mount, gentlemen, mount.
We'll have that hill Lefore another

A Democratic paper says that the
whole Radical creed is c.-ir pristd iu
a . sk 1
one word, "urani. very goou
word for a creed, too. Grant means to
give. the lieputolican party means t
grant lo every man his just rights. It
will grant succor anJ protection lo op
pressed American citizens at home and
abroad, irrespective of color, race or
religion. Ii will grant peace and pros
perity lo the country. It will grant a
remission of the heavy taxation under
which the country has groaned. It
will grant all that the people justly ask.
Peside.it will grant the Democratic
party a tremendous whipping nex; fall.
As a creed, Grant has another advan
tage over the Democratic creed. The
Democratic creed is very brief, com
prising only three words, "D n the
?ei!" But ours is still shorter, if
compiised in one word. The two are
directly opposite in taeauing Ours
means to give; theirs to condemn and

held in which the juries could not agree.
The democrat thought the cash dif
ference between the reputation of a
democrat and a secessionist w;a five
thousand dollars. At last a jury made
up mostly of democrats have decided
that th?ir democratic brother was dam
aged jutt At cents worth. That tellies
a disputed question, borne claim lhat
there is a great difference between a
democrat and a secessionist, but it is
now settled that there is just 'x cents
difference.

hands, and who are willing to unite
heartily with all friends of freedom
and justice in sustaining those whose

peradventure to our time-honored and
blood-bought principles. Let us kind
ly renew the patriotic fnes of 1SG1, and
again rally around the flag."
