To A.

Disl rict, having a Member of Con

gress who represents only one party, and confines lii3 labors and cares mainly to the personal and political interests of himself, it is'^p^eoliarly"* forttmate for the Republican press of the District that our Senators do not forget to forward those public documents which are necessary to the proper conduct of a newspaper. To both of the distinguished Statesmen who represent Indiana in the United States Senate, we are under many obligations.

seeing what the disorganizing journals are aiming at. In his paper, the New National Era, he says: "Much of this talk about revenue reform seems like a keen device of Democratic managers, with help of foreign traders, &c., to demoralize the Republicans, and thus divide and conquer, and hand over our .3 country, toithe rule of the, .Democtuicy, £-#l0?e sympathy with freedom or labor is but a hollow and cruel pretense.'*««

perceptible falling off in travel

by steamer, and a proportionate increase in locomotion by rail, is the natural re{8Vty of'tfcf irequqnt iand horrible dialers that have occurred to steamers on the

Mississippi and elsewhere. If one could dismiss all sense of imminent danger, the "floating hotels," on our great rivers, would be thronged with passengers, for, setting peril aside, they present the most delightful means of performing journeys. But so long as the inexorable logic of statistics is so awfully arrayed against them, the cars will be preferred by prudent travelars who desire a continuance

all its faults West Point lias been

of great service to the country. Though it has graduated very many popinjay.% it has also educated mo3t of the nation* heroes—Laf&jftUe Journal.

Which, so far as it is true, is easily explained by the fact that none but West Point men have ever had anything likd "a fair show" in the army. Tt^would have gi^H^ryjstjaJBge witJij- aU, the opportunities they have had, ana with the country relying almost solely on them for generalship, if West Point men had not occasionally shown high soldierly qualities.

By "the nation7* heroes," we suppose the Journal means celebrated commanders, for the real "heroes" of the countrytechij&eowreho have

Secretary Cpx and the Methodists Uponlbe retiring of General Cox from the Cabinet of President Grant with the made-up case against the latter on the McGarrahan claim, there was an impulsiva wave of popularity started, upon which the little Secretary rode quite proudly for a few days. Among others which helped to tide his bark some of the official papers of the Methodist Church were not the least the

at Chicago,

iJtliitdbeHtg tww oUhe most active of 1 his supporters. The country knows how suddenly and how completely the props were knocked from under the little General, and he was left in a state of suspend«^dr.^niiuaticjna.sQmething_ilike one of

Mhfe-^atogtels- -6P-43tfrrtg£ioi whose only reliance for support is a very colcl and unsubstantial cloud We are glad to see that the Methodist papers, having become convinced of their error, are now giving to tifeir reatlerS^the facts as between General Cox and President

Grant, an act of justice to the latter which will relieve him of every particle of suspicion the pettifogging of his former confidante cast aboufchim.* The

Methodist

of last week has a very able article re viewing General Cox's connection with the Cabinet, in which it is shown that he had nothing whatever to do with the Indian policy that so far as his Civil Service Reform'went his Department had clerks in it who could not spell the simplest words, and who had been dismissed from other Departments for incompetency^ while one at least was a notorious and blatant-rebel that he attempted to put the President in a false position upon the McGarrahan claim and that, finally, his .letter of resignation as published was a {&4f££4iBiAde-up **8SUe special pleading which did not even hint at the true reason for his withdrawal from the the Administration. All this is now well known, and the country is quite content that the ex-

Secretary shall solace himself with writing long and dry homilies on Civil Ser-

more of his subject than his practice in the Interior Department will warrant in^.telUgent mwj in jjglyjv^na.—Ind.Journal.

It is liardlly to Be expected that the Becular press, or that portion of it which made haste to champion the cause of against the President, will be as honest and manly in their treatment of the matter as the

Methodist

is. Many

professedly Republican journals devoted their columns for weeks to fulsome law. cation of the Secretary, coupled with the most, unjust criticism of the President

Orij, Night Scene in French's Ho el.

From the Now York Sun.] Little Jimmie Wenn lives in Koseoyelt street*. He sells

Suns

Globes

jyid

in the morning,

in the ajrernoon. He is about

the height of a hydrant. He has blue eyes and a little pinched-up,- white lace,^ which is always smutty. He \tffeara his boots, like the great

dord good

Horace

Greeley, with the tops (about the size of candle moulds) on the outside of his pan's. A faded old red woollen comforter is wound about his neck, and a locwe little coat, hardly big enough to wrap up a good-sized: chub, hangs from his shoulders. He wears a cap. with a rim of motheaten fur, and with ene car-muff, which loosely swings over his left car. The other ear ftniff-has been lost. "HQW

did you lose that ear flap, Jini-

Sun

my?" asked a

reporter, as the little

Urchia entered French's Hotel last evening "A walkin' off cn my ear," answered Jimmy, ?wing?ng qrOu»d his If Jt leg, and offering to fell an evening newspaper to a bystander. "How long have you been walking oil oh your ear, Jim my 7" inquired the reporter. "More nor a year," answered the boy. "Twoyears, I gues*," pulling the string of His solitary ear muff to his moutii and twisting it between his teeth.

TWO brokers and thirteen politicians had listened to the conversation. .}«# "I know-that lad,''said Mr. Henry T. Godet, one of the brokers. "Here, sonny, let us see you walk of on your ear.. ."Here, hold these papers,", said little Jim, thrusting his bundle into the ,repoi:tei !s hands.

In an instant two tiny, legs were raised in the air. The boy balanced himself upon his little dirty palms- Then, placing hlai^ar upon the marble floor,, he "slid across the room by the action of his hands, and alighted on his feet with the quickness of a Startled wren. "Gimmfe nie papers*" lie safcK "That's the way I lost me flap off o' me cap, a walkin' off on me ear."

A dozen five-cent pieces were dropped into the wee toad like fist, and tiny Jimmy's eyes glistened within his small white face.1 "Do you know this man?" inquired the reporter, pointing to Mr. Godet.

The urchin stopped counting his money, and looked at the broker. Then two dimples curled ^themselves into his thin little cheeks, "I seen .'im a good many times. -He knows me, I gueps. I dqnno him though," said tiny Jim, again beginning to diew the string of his ear muff. "Don't y#u remember," said the broker, "about eighteen months ago, when I took you into the Gold Room, and you went off on your ear?" "Ar.e you the man?" said the little,fellow,dropping the string of the ear muff from his mouth, while his eyes sparkled like diamonds. "I bet I don't forget that time. Why, those fellers gin me more nor $7 for goin' .off on me ear. They were the bulliest fellers that I ever see.— An' before I went off on me ear before those fellers I never heard apy fellers a Calkin'.about goin'off on his jar hutlafteri'.\rasa vyalkin'on me eSCf for those feliera I could hear every feller a taikin' about goin' off on his ear.' If I hadn't walked off on me ear for' those /ellers, the fellers wot's all the time a taikin' about walkin' off on his ear wouldn't know wot a goin' off on its ear was."

Here little Jimmy Wenn made a hop, skip apd a jump,: and settled himself dowd tiptfr. fhe^team pipes by the window. He began to count his coin. "The boy tells the truth," said Harry, Godet We tock him in, the Board -of. Brokers about noon. Things were loose, and everybody laughed when the boy Went through his performance. Every man who came in asked liim what lie was doing and his invariable answer was: 'I'm goin'off on my ear.' The words took the ears of the Gold Board.,. The brokers• retailed them, and before a month had passed everybody in the city' was talking about walking off on his ear."

The reporter then approached poor little Jim. The boy had counted his money, and Vras shoving It in,tO his pocket. He smiled, and picked up his papers. "How much have you ,got?u inq nred the reporter. "Eighty-four cents," replied little Jini-:. my. "Is that a g'o6d day's, work?" the re? portor asked. "No, it ain't," responded little. Jim. "It's a poor day's work."

Reportei^r-Do you sell papers for a liv--ing? Little Jim—Yea'. I sell papers and. go off on my ear for a livin'

Reporter—How much do you make a day selling papers?

Little Jim—I make more a travellin off on m^ ear than I do sellin' papers Reporter—IIow many times a day do you go off on your ear?

Little Jim—Oh, sometimes rnore'n hundred. I only bin on me ear about twenty time to-day. All the fellers out a sleigh-riclin,' ah' I don't go pff on me eir as much as when they ain't no snow on the ground. There's a feller down in Exchange place whit buys a pa per every day, an' I go off on1 toe ear

Tot

'im every time, an' he alius gives me five cents. But the fellers have all seen .rrfe go off on me car so marly times that don't go off on me ear as much as I used to go off. It's kind o' getdn' played out.

Reporter—How much did you ever make going off on your ear? Little Jim—Weil, that time on Wall street was the bsst. I made over §9 that day.

Reporter—Let me look at your ear. Poor little Jim pulled off his cap. His ear was read, but callous. It felt like sole leather. After offering to go off on his ear again for his questioner's especial benefit on the receipt of five cents, he whipped on his cap, and dashed out of the door with the alertness of a black and tan.

STORY OP OLD TIMES 4' BY COL. J. W. F0RNX1'

I remember a dinner party at the tim I lived in Washington during the admin istra:.ion of General Pierce, which re quires no diary to keep fresh in my heart. It took place at my residence, and in the house now known as the Waverly, on Eighth street, back ot the

Chronicle

fice, where I resided up to 185G, when I left Washington to help make Mr. Buchanan President, and never returned, save to join the work of overthrowing him after he broke the promise of justice to Kansas, which alone elected him. There were present some twenty of the leaders of the Democratic party, North and South, among them Mr. Slidell, Mr. Breckin ridge, and I think Mr. Douglas. One of nipr guests wa3 Dr. William Elder, my friend at that day, though we differed widely about slavery, just as he is to day, when we closely agree in opposing' it. 1 had met him on a former visit to Philadelphia, aud invited him to come to Washington and- sojourn nncter my roof. He came on the evening before the party in tjri§Stion, s6mewhat to the consternation of those of my family who knew his pronounced abolitionism, and the equally pronounced pro'slaveiy views of those who were to dine with me the next day. But there was no help for it indeed, I Was glad to meet the gifted and polished Doctor. My own mind was far from clear fcsio the justice'cf the course of my' party in regard to Kansas, and I made no concealment of my doubts. The angry protests of the North against that contemplated villainy were being heard in

lie elections.: The Democracy had just een unhorsed, right and left, North and

and was in. lact.ahe first

muttering$ or a far greater te'mpest. The Southern leaders of the day were not yet ready to hazard a rebellion. They were eager to conciliate Northern anti-slavery men and those I knew -were always gentlemen in social life.. This was especially so with Slidell, Benjafhjn, Breckinridge, Cobb, &c. And so, when the restraint of "the first ctrars# or twor waa thawed by a generous draught of- champagne, those who sat fit my, board were quietly attracted by the agreeable manners and dazzling wit of my abolition friend. He gradually monopolized their whole attention by his comments on hooka and men, and his full knowledge of the re sources of their own section.

At last one of them .said: "Pi'^y, Doctor Elder, how,is jt.that ?me of your tastes and learning should be so opposed to Southern rights,and institutional'/ TJia.t opened, the ball, and,.. notliihg IotfiJ he answered p'ith a.atory I can never forget a story which I believe has never been forgotten hy p.ny one .t wtyo heard .it "When I lived in Pittsburg, gentlemen," said .the Doctor, "where I had the honor to .vote for James G. Rirney for President in 1841, being one,of a very, very small party, whiah will soon control Pennsylvania by. an Andrew Jackson majority, we had a strange, character atpong us who occasionally made, peep lies -against slavery, and whose peQuIiarities were that, when he became excited lie gave way to uncontrollable tears and oaths.

the aforesaid-John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay 'follow them to the South follow them to the gates of death and hell yes, into hell, and. there cram the red-hot coals down their damned, infernal throats!" "And this outburst^" added Dr. Elder, "was punctuated with alternate sobs and swearing. I have given you one of the many causes, gentlemen, that have qon firmed me in my abolitionism." ..

It is impossible to convey in idea «f the manner in which Dr. Elder told this incident, or the effect produced Upon the Southern men aroundihim. They.listen: ed with pro(ound:and breathless interest, and more than one.witha.pale cheek apd uicist«ned eye and though, they did not say they agreed with the eloquent Doctor, I saw that they respected him for the can* dor and warmth with which he had replied to their equally candid question.

STORY ABOUT GENERAL BUTLER.

The Gfeneral tiie Benefactor of a •Starving Convent,

Pott

The Chicago

tells the following

story, which it declares a true pne it is, perhaps, unneceasai'y: to remark that General Batlei^was once in command at New Orleans. Equally useless is it to say that little good of him was written or thought,during his administration p| that incorrigible department, and thai his "treatment" of: Southern ladies wasde scribed by adjectives of a very severe import. ^Malignance in its worst form found...y.cjnt at,.his expense, and "Beast ^Butler" .was the term ,by which h^ and liis. alleged _cha'raeter were best told in thope dfvys both in the North and South .St. Michael's is the name of a. pretty little village not hundreds of miles north .of l^ew "Orleans, on the IVHssissippi, which in \var da}'s was limited to ai Convent of the Sacred Heart, that formed a favorite school .jjbr ihe daughters of the rebels of the section. Perhaps a dozen dwellings surrounded this main feature of the place, and St. Michael's was rebel frQtn,.rim to core. \.

Mother Shannon Ivas the Abbess of the convent and the Siiperior'of the.schbol She and her "daughters'in religion" certainly shared the anti-Yankee sentiment which so sadlj. strpye to.ruin them and us in common chaos but, holding oldtime notipns of. woman's sphere in political broils, they were not loud in the utterance of iheir.thoiights.- This did .not keep famine from the convent.' door, _liowever there came a day when the.storehouse was barren as a Southern field trodden by Morgan's cavalry. The larder shelves were on a line impartially horizontal neither .'fruit nor fish nor cfereal bore them down to'the accustomed Curve' of heaviness. Hunger already stalked iambhg the houses of the villagers, and the famished people gathered at the convent gate, clampring for food.

On many succeeding occasions, be was called npon in the same straight? forward, womanly way for aid and protection, and in every instance both were given, justly and with the courtesy of the gentleman. The children of rebel soldiers, fallen'on the wrong side of a cruel war, had reason to know what a strange kind of "beast" Gen.

A dajLtn- iwo later a supply train reached St. Michael's, and the messenger was entrusted with a note from the General, which read something like this:
