Thursday Morning1, Oct. 20, 18"e.

THE iour.h annual meeting of the Society of the Army of tile Cumberland will take place in the city of Cleveland, on the 24th and 2oth days of November.

THKIIK is no longer a doubt that the Republicans will have a majority of two in our .State Senate. This will block a great many dangerous Democratic games.

JUDGE LONG'S term of office is for six years.—Journal. Only four years, according to an act of the last Legislature, approved May 13, 18G9. You will find it on the Tj2d page of the Acts of the Special Session.

THE National Convention to deliberate on the removal of the national capital to the Mississippi Valley, meets in Cincinnati, October 25th. A circular, stirring up the minds of the people by way of remembrance, has been issued by the Executive Committee appointed at St. Louis last year.

from

A Perfectly Got-Up Angel. Before his marriage, John had always had the idea that pret ty, affectionate little women were religious and self-denying at heart, as a matter of course. No matter through what labyrinths of fashionable follies and dissipation they had been wandering, still a talent for saintship was lying dormant in tl^eir natures, which it needed only the touch of love to develop. The wings of the angel were always concealed under the fashionable attire of the belle, and would unfold themselves when the hour came. A nearer acquaintance with Lillie, he was forced to confess, had not, so far, confirmed this idea. Though hers was a face so fair and pure that, when he first knew her, it suggested ideas of prayer, and communion with angels, yet he could not disguise from himself, "that in all near acquaintance with her, she had proved to be most remarkably "of the earth, earthy." She was alive and fervent about fashionable gossip—of who is who, and what does what she was alive to equipages, to dress, to sight-see-ing, to dancing to anything of which the whole stimulus and excitement was earthly and physical. At times, too, he remembered that she had talked a sort of pensive sentimentalism, of a slightly religious nature but the least idea of a moral purpose in life—of self-denial and devotion to something higher than immediate gratification—seemad never to have entered her head. What is more, John had found his attempts to introduce such topics with her always unsuccessful. Lillie either gaped in his face, and asked him what time it was or playfully pulled his whiskers, and asked him why he did not take to the ministv or adroitly turned the conversation with kissing and compliments.

Sundav morning came, shining down gloriously through the dewy elm arches of Springdale. The green turf on either side of the wide streets was mottled and Hecked with vivid flashes and glimmers of emerald, like sheen of changeable silk, as here and there long arrows of sunlight darted down through the leaves and touched the ground,

The gardens between the great shady houses that flanked the street were full of tall white and crimson phloxes in all the majesty of their summer bloom, and the air'was tiiled with fragrance and Lillie, after a two-hours' toilet, came forth from her chamber fresh and lovely as the bride in the Canticles. "Thou art all fair, my love there is no spot in thee." She was killinglv dressed in the rural simplicity stvie. AH her robes and sashes were of purest white and a knot of field-daises and trasses, with French dew-drops on

twinkled in an infinitesimal bonnet on her hair was all crcped into a filmy golden aureole round her face. In short, dear reader, she was a got-up angel, and wanted onlv some tulle clouds and an opening heaven to have gone up at once, as similar angels do from the Parisian stage. "You like me, don you? she said, as she saw the delight in John's eyes.

John was tempted to lay hold of his plaything. "Don nowy—ou 11 crumple me, she said, fighting him ofl with a dainty parasol. "Positively, you shan't touch me till after church."

John laid the uttle white hand on his arm with a pride, and looked down at her over his shoulder all the way to church. He felt proud of her. They would look at her, and see how pretty she was, he thought. And so they

fortune is that the beautiful home, provided for their protection by a grateful government, is located in an election precinct a majority of the judges of which are the subservient tools of CLEMENT L.

SEVERAL Republican journals having expressed surprise that the Democratic press of the North should have gi.ven so much space to obituar^notices of the late KOHEKT E. LEE, while a brief paragraph was all they afforded to the late Gen. GEORGE II. THOMAS on his death, the Cincinnati Chronicle takes occasion to remark that it sees nothing remarkable in the fact. It enly proves that they are real "Bourbons" unchanged sincc the war, and that their sympathies are now, as then, on the secession side. TIIOMAS was fully the equal of LEE as an officer and as a man. I5oth were Virginians both were educated at West Foint both were pledged by every honorable obligation, as officers of the army, to stand by the lawful Government. In passing over the faithful General, and selecting for special eulogy the orte who opposed the Government, and fought against the Union, Democratic journals have only confirmed the worst their opponents have said of them.

31R. LINCOLN'S PETITIONERS.

A Record from the Executive Cliamher.

An Extract from Putnam's for Xoreiaber.] It was the custom of Mr. Lincoln, durthe later years of the rebellion, to hear petitions, at certain hours of the day, from all who chose to present them to him—the formality of an introduction from some Member of Congress being the condition on which they entered the Executive Chamber.

The writer of this record pleaded for the discharge from military service of a brother who had entered the army at fifteen years of age. The petition was granted, and the President kindly asked if he could do anything more for her. She asked if she might be present at some of these public interviews, and write notes of them for publication. lie answered that she could do so.

Of many hundred petitions s-hc has selected a few only, and has endeavored to present a faithful record of what she actually saw and heard on the occasions described.t

All day long President Lincoln had received petitioners, and still they came. He could hear the murmur of voices in the outer rooms, as they were anxious to be admitted yet he must rest for a few moments. "Tad, my dear son, go to your mother you must be tired here." "No, no, papa I don't want to go now —I want to ay and see the :ople." And he forced his hands down deep into his pockets, threw himself on the floor under a writing-desk which stood near his father, and settling his head on a cushion, continued: "Ain't you tired of folks, pa?"

The little bell which the President sounded—a signal for the doors to be opened—remained unrung—and he sat with his hands claspcd together and his head drooping forward.

His little son moved softly from the room, returning in a few moments with a sad-faced woman who had an infant her arms. The President motioned her to a chair, and she modestly stated that she had ccmie from a town in the far West to plead for the life of her husband, who was sentenced to die in six weeks,for desertion. "He. ran a^vay from hi-" regiment, then?" "No, sir but they think he did."

The President frowned, and shook head rapidly from side to side. "Of course, madam, you think that did not." "Oil, sir! oh!—" And she began cry aloud, the baby joining the chorus

The President shook iiis head. lie was twisting a piece of paper over and and over through his fingers. Lifin his eyes suddenly to her face, he asked: "Who is that "leticr from?" "It is from a kind minister I asked him to write it. He said you did not know him, and would in all probability not read the letter yet, if it would be anv comfort to me, lie would write it. "Let me see it."

As he bent forward to take the letter the infant seized his hand. The Presi dent patted the little hands and face, and then leaned toward the light to read.

How anxiously the woman watched him! But his countenance gave no in dication of his thoughts. He folded the letter carefully slowly he handed it back again, saying: "I am satisfied with it. I believe von story. I shall pardon your husband."

The baby looked up steadily at him the woman arose, as she exclaimed: "Oh, Mr. President, how can I thank vou!" "Take this note to the War Depart inent, and they will give you a -paper of release for vour husband from the charge of desertion. It will make your journey home more comfortable. Good night. "God ble-s you!" she answered, and was gone.

The President struck the little bell and a tall usher opened wide the door until the room was filled. Some of these petitioners were insolent beyond human endurance some were silly to excess some were ludicrous in their pompous ness displaying piles of letters of introduction, which the President would not look at. They would however persist in their endeavors to make him look at Hich letters from such persons.

The President soon became exasperated as he listened to one and another. In vain he shook his head and stamped his feet, and brought his hands violently down upon the table, telling them that he icould not and coidd not listen to such petitions. They, with an assurance never to be imagined, would still go on.

Men with defiant faces, men whining and pleading, and forward women, grasp ed his arms "to arrest his attention. His patience with such rudeness was wonder ful. If he expressed contempt for affectations, he also did not forget to respect modest'v and real sorrow when he met it.

Again the little bell was rung, and again the room was filled, lhose who had just gone out muttered their dislike for the good man who listened from early morning until late at night to people of everv grade.

Often the President was grave to sadness. For hours in succession he expressed no anger, no mirth. Petition after petition was presented in rapid succession. It was the same story of sorrow—of fathers brothers and husbands in prison, each pleading for theirs to be the first released in the °exchange of prisoners. Some had dear ones dying in camp, beyond the lines thev were begging to go to them. Hundreds had made the same request. "Oh, let us go to them—only let us go:

There were

bands of poor, oppressed

sewing-women stating their wrongs, Peace Commissioners and Southern refuges.

Many times the President started to go to his private room but sad faces pressing up the stairway stopped him as he was"crossing the hall, and he went back again. "Do, kind President, grant my request!"

The woman's voice was very plaintive, and large tears were falling, but she made no

$ound

of crying.

"No, no, I can not. 1 can not, good woman—I can not! I might grant such I can't turn inside out and upside evervbodv. I must

ry. Everybody ought to be sorry for those who do wrong. When he knew the laws why .did he break them! When he knew the penalty, why did he bring it upon himself? You plead for him, and tell me how upright he is. That's all very well. It is easy for us to overestimate those we love. You are his neighbor. It is very kind in you to come far and plead so strongly but—I can't—I can't do anything for you!" "Please, President Lincoln!" "No, no! no, no! I can't—I won't, I won't!" and he sprang to his feet, but in an instant resumed his former position in his chair, and leaned forward to Snap the little bell. "Oh loh!"

It was a sound of intense grief, disappointment and surprise, all mingled together coming up so from the heart as this peculiar sound did, it arrested the hand upon the bell, lifted the eyes that were growing cold and stern to the pleading face of the woman before him. She had left her chair, and stood so near that her clothes brushed against him. Heavy were the lines upon her face—lines of care and sorrow earnest were the teardimmed eyes. "Do, kind sir, consider my case a moment more—oh, President Lincoln! Kemember, you were poor once—and—and

"Had no friends, do you mean?" he interrupted, almost scornfully. "No—oh, no!—had a few friends—tried and true friends, who would never forsake you. Only one of them I know—one,who is alike a friend to you and to me. For his sake—for our dear Lord's sake—grant my petition!"

There was a striking solemnity in her whole attitude and the President turned very pale' his eyes misty, sad, and then sadder, as he repeated, slowly and reverently

The President seemed much annoyed but, turning toiler, kindly said: "If you can prove to me that vojjr hu band did not run away from^nor desert his regiment, I will have him pardoned Will you go on with your story, and stop your crying?" "How kind you are, sir!"

A faint smile played upon the Presi dent's face, as he answered, "Please go on with your story."

She told him she was dangerously sick, and her husband, hearing it from comrade, went home, about three mile from the cam]). The next day he was seized as a deserter, and dragged away As soon as she could walk a little, she had gone to the officers to plead for him but they would not listen to her. She was sick after that long walk, and as soon as she could get up again she had started for Washington. "It was along and tiresome journey he said sympathetically. "Yes, sir bnt someway, I felt, if I could only see you and tell you, that you would believe my story. I have no letters to speak for me, only this one," moving her hand towards her pocket.

For our dear Lord's sake!" •'Here are three hundred dollars it was made up by his neighbors. Couldn't you save him frora an ignominious death, which he does not deserve?—no, he does not deserve!" "Take back your money!" cried the President, throwing away from him her extended hand. "Take it back! I do not want it!"

Only an instant his hand and voice were raised, and then he resumed, kindly "I shall not have your money, good woman the War Department will not have it. Take it back where it came from and you shall take back his release Your petition shall be wholly granted." "Oh, President Lincoln! I believe you are a Christian. I will pray for you ev ery day with my whole heart." "I have need of your prayers I liav need of all the prayers that can be offered for me." "Oh, Mr. Lincoln, that is the Christian spirit—that is faith in Jesus! Oh, let me hear you say that you believejn Him! "I do," was the solemn answer, believe in my Savior."

And when she arose to depart, the President also arose and opened the door for her, and led her through the outer room and across the hall to the head of the staircase, and shook hands, said "good-by," and went back again to re ceive more and still more petitioners.

The authenticity of those "notes" vouched for by the writer, whose good faith is well endorsed

Infant Phenomena.

The New York Times says that a gen tlenian in that city liaa a son only six years old whose wonderful memory ha attracted the attention of many promin ent persons. Although die child is una hie to read a line, he will lecite page after page from Shakespeare's plays with all t'»e feeling and dramatic expression a veteran actor. And not only does he remember the text of what has been read to lum, but he seems to understand tne meaning of even tlie most subtil passages. The Times hears with pleasure that this little" wonder will soon appear before the public, by whom his unusual talents, Ac., &. For our part we think Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children should .step in and save thi poorjlitt'.e fellow from the disastrous ca eer laid out for him. If theJstaLement of the unhealthy activity of the child mind is not an exaggeration, nothing but the most unremitting care will rescue him from a blighted manhood. I fant phenomena pay a merciless price for their gifts, mental or physical. Yon pernaturally bright infant is generally a dull boy, and reaches hi* majority when he docs reach it, a physical wreck Precocious children have been overdone in this country their sav'ngs and thei doings are the saddest things imagin able—or their sayings would be if they were not almost always the weak inven tions of aged, immature minds caterin to a singularly innocent class of adult eaders. Freddy's wise remark, which is apt to be rather blasphemous, and Totiy naif interrogation displaying the \vmp toms of latent insanity, make poor read ing for thoughtful atliers and mo.her. Yc this kind of tiling is popular and has been served tip to us in monthly installment The tortured little aciobat in the circus popular, and so are the musical, the ma thematical, and the literary infant, and all of them it seems tons, are as sad as sad can de. The strain that is usually brought to bear ofl' lie menial faculties of precocious child'en is as cruel ns it is unw'se. A writer a late number of the Saturday vi'ew has some admirable reflections on this subject, in which he is justly revere ou the parents or teachers who,Voin wanton carele=sne-s or ienbec le affection, put a piesstie upon voting natti'-es which they were never meint to bea\ and of which, unexplained na-p or twi«ts of disposition, they fa-- often ocntinue to show the marks through life.'
