‘Lesistance to Tyrants is Obedicnce to God : .J. B, BTOLL, EDITOR. 4 WEDNESDAY, AUG, 4, 1569 5 S TS B ) S R AT BOUTWELL vs. DENT. We have already stated that Louis ‘Dent aspires to the Guberpatorial chair of Mississippi. Radical papers assert t}lx_at the President has no sympathy with the Dent movement, which is an imitation of the Walker affuir in Virginia.— Judge Dent is a brother-in-law of the President, a very moderate Republican, and it is #aid married a Mississippi lady who was an open secessionist dusing the war, and is not yet cured of that hierésy. The Conservatives supposcd it would be a strong point in their favor |with Grant if they made Deut their candidate for Governor, and: the Tatter “fell into the trap,” and agreed to accept their nomination. But up to ‘the present time “it - cannot be ascertained that the movement has the symnpatiy of a single Cabinet officer, and there is good - warrant for saying that it is not likely to get much. from the President.”” Ex‘Governor Hihn, of Louisiana, who las just passed through Mississippi on his way to Washington, also reports that he found but little sympathy with the Dent moyement among the Ropublicans of that State. At a vecent cabinet meeting Sceretary Boutwell expressed himself in emphatic terms agdinst, the Dent movement, his language being anything but complimenstary to the President’s brother-in-law,— Dent, ‘incensed. at Secretary Boutwell’s course, or ignorant of it, called on him one morning, for the purpose of secuging the patronage of the Treasury Department to aid bim in the canvass. Secretary Boutwell, . without circumlocution, and with curtness, informed him that his request would' not be considered, adding that the appointments already. made had been given to persons whose loyalty to the platform on which President Grant was clected, is undoubted. A

It is rumored and generally believed that this blnnt declaration was followed by high words, during which Judge Dent claimed to he as loyal to the Administration as Mr. Boutwell. The result of the interview was the withdrawal of the Judge from ithe présence of the ~ Sceretaryfin a great rage. Mr. Boutwell's parting remarks ‘was an admonition to mind his own‘business, ncgdmpanied by the declaration that he was dible to control hig department without the/ assistance of ‘outsiders, and as long as hé remained in control, its influence would be.excrted in behalf of the “true Republican” organi zation, : e : ! ; oL A SCATHING REBUKE. "We doubt whether & more withering rebuke was ever administered to an attorrey than the Tesson which Chicef Justice Chase set for. Attorney General Hoar in the trial of the celebrated Texas ‘murder case. The way of it was this: Hardly had IToar prostituted the position which a Stanbery and an Evarts had virtuously and vigorously filed, before it beeame bis duty to appear in-the Supreme Court of the United States, which were reduced to the ‘extremity of laving him for their council. In the progress of a speech by him, the venerable Justice Nelson inquircd: “What is the page of the authority you aré quoting, Mr. Attorney-General 2" ‘To ' which the man whom cx-General Grant |gave a Cabinet place in exchange ~ for a library, repjliedl 1 “May it please the Court, ‘I decline &b .be interrupted in my argument.” Whereupon the Chicf Jus- . tico, assuming \i;ifn"‘ibié 'young shoulders | the affront directed at his associate and | incidentally reflecting upon 'the whole | bench,’ brought the Massachusetts attor- | ney to liis knees at once by' saying : “Mr, | Attorney-General, yoiu.,w‘il{,ceu_se in your | argument for the present., ‘This Court, | as you will learn when you liave become | used to its amenities, rescrves “the right | to question at any time any 'of itacoun. | scllors 'on any. poing =‘Wlm.tavel.~» gY,OQI’:I'Cf joinder tosthe question of my ‘associate is

.. HOWISTRADE? | ~ The revenues of the general government are said to be abundant. The crops are also abundant. ~The Treasury is rich, and _the people sre rich, so far as cheap food is wealth. Yet, says the Albanjp Argus, we must not forget that Qp'ebpléog this country néver felt 80 poor as at the ‘time General Harrison was clected ; when flour. was. three. dollars a -barrel at Stv Lovis. In, faet, it was this low price of flour that -overturned Mr. Van Buren's administration. With the price of flour other articles of necessity and comfort, of course, also became cheap.. But, in the ‘midst_of all the abundance of the times the people felt poor and distressed ; :and so, they turned out a Wise man and put in hisplace, 9. military uniform. They have no ¢hance to.do so foolish a thing now ; for the empty uniform is already in the ph;cc of .a President, and the wise man is net. : i A

Why was it that with flour cheap and food abundant, the people were enraged with Mr. Van Burei’s administration and turned him out in wrath? DBecause, althbugh food was cheap, the business of the country—itstrade and exchanges of prap: erty—was_lifeless. The sudden change made by the sub-treasury system, or rath- | er the foolish fears of its operation entertained by leading business men, paralyzed trade, deadened coufidence, and the interchange of property lacked briskness.— The consequence was idleness except among the farmers. Meehanics bad no “employment. lﬁnboxjers,hungered amidst ‘the abundance of food. It was the old story of Pat who boasted that something which cost him in this country a shilling, could be bought in Ircland for sixpence ; he had -to confess that the trouble there was to get the sixpence. : - Wheat is now almost as low in price as it hag been at any time in twenty years; ‘measured in gold itis worth but little over a dollar a bushel. The coming crops ensure its continued cheapness.— But the trade of the country is dull and lifcless, Empty buildings and declining rents in New York prove this; the ganeral confession everywhere is that the businéss of the country is dull and sick. Cheap wheat and cheap com will not {,of themselves make our people prosperous. Cheap wheat, with no employmient, and consequently no wages, will mot ‘make the great industrial classes who do not raise food, rich. - Nor will cheap and \abundant.corn make even him who grows ‘the corn rich, unless he can exchange his abundance for some other comforts of que. It has happened more than opce within the past twenty years, that IZ(;izm corn has been used for fuel on the farms of the West, not because other fuel was lacking, but because the corn would not pay for its carriage to anarket. . - ' - - Providence has. supplied us with one great fundamental clement of prosperity —abundant food. But it is necessary that the grower.of food in the West skall be abple to exchange for other comfarts, ‘his surplus products, and it is trade that enables him to do so. It is necessary that the laborers all over the conntry, in other ‘occupations than farming, shall - have gonstgnt employment and good wages, to avail themselves of the blessings of abundant crops.,, Withthe prosperous and natural course of trade, so necessary to the general prosperity, no Goy: crnment. official has the nght to meddle. Yet, nothing is so common, as for our Secretaries of the 'Treasury to think their mission ‘'is to regulate all the operations of ‘trade by their individual wisdom.— Mr. MeCulloch and Mr. Boutwell both ‘think 'the people arc using too much ready money in their business, and both have the conceited belief, that one gréat official can tell exactly how much ready money it is good for the people to have. © Mr. McCulloch undertook his measures to lesson the quantity of money in use with ‘a great flourish of trumpets. He was to destroy-$4,000,000 of legal tenders every month, and thereby make business solid. A few months of his policy made business so. solid that it stood still. =Of course: there 'was clamor, and’' hé gave up bis plans and therenfter let tlu’;lp‘,ui'mﬁcy" aloné.’ :/Businessat once revived and went on again. Now copes lM' r. Boutwell and tlitiks if he cannot be wiser he will, at letist, be more cunning than, McCulloch ; 80 Tic says nothing, but iu slience goes on to contract the currency, The FEvening Pogt boasted of this a few weeks ago, and showed by figures: that - Boutwell had been ‘quictly contracting the currency eversince he came into office; ' But though the Seeretdry would not tell; what e was Qeirig sobn-tld- upon the” biisitiss of the country i arid again ‘we” havé trade at a stand-still.

GRANT'S HOSTILITY TO GENERAL ' THOMAS. L It is very well known to all who know anything of army. matiere, that General Georgo H. Thomas was one of the especial objects of Grant’s malevolent illwill. . The reason was that Thomas always refused to join the Mutual Admiration Society of Grant, Sherman & Co.— The' following extract. from. a letter. to

the Cincinnati Gazeits, by General Boynton, throws additional light. on_this subject, and shows Grant still more strongly as the smallest great nian of the coun-

“As a general thing, one would expect to learn of the secret acts of the War Department duting the Rebellion in Wnrb ington rather thanOalifornia,” ' Bat the occasion of :General Halleok’s departure from the Pacific coast for the East has accidentally brought to light the facts connected ‘with the order relieving Gen, Geo. H. Thowias when he was at the head of his army and beforc the enemy at Nashville i “Among & number of friends ‘'who had called in Ban_ Fraucisco. to say good-bye to Gen. Halleck, be was asked concerning his part in that transaction, when he gave the following history of it : , - “President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton and himself, all had the greatest fuith in General Thomas. They were anxious to have him move, but trusted his judgment implicitly, as he was on the ground. _ “One morning, a few days before the battle of Nashville, the President received a request trom General Grant that General Thomas shonld be immediately removed.” s * “The President took the note over to Mr. Stanton, said it was very bad business, that he deeply regretted the step, and but for disregarding a direct request of the General in Chief he would not consent to it. Mr. ‘Stanton was*equally decided ‘asto the impolicy of the step.— General Halleck was called’ in, and opposed the measure very earnestly. Finally Mr. Lineoln said he did not feel at liberty to interfere, but he would like to have the order show thdt he was not the first mover in' the matter. Gen. Halleck then drew an order covering the . case, though not placing the entire ‘responsibility upon Gen. Grant. b “Upon seeing this, Mr. Stanton: directed it to be changed, to read so as to show that it was done by the special request of the General-in-Chicf, and neither Mr. Lincoln nor M. Stanton was willing to g 0 before the country on anything less than. that. ‘ ;

#Gen. Halleck felt that a great military mistake and outrage was being committed, and that, in some way, it should be prevented. e “The conference over the matter was a long and earnest one. At length Gen. Halleck ‘asked Mr. Stanton if he would report him for dispoedience of orders if he should delay the publication of this particular one for a few days. Mr. Stan: ton said he would not. Gep. Halleck pocketed the order.. A few 'days after Gen. Thomas had completed his preparations, moved upon the- rebels-and defeated them disastrously. Awit is well known the -order, so much talked of since, was never issued. :

It hag been the received opinion that General Logan was the officer designated Ly General Grant to supersede General Thomas. This it seems was a mistake.—* According to General Halleck, the request of General Grant also specified General Schofield as thc successor, and the order as finnlly written did designate him forthe place. The name’of General | Logan did not at any time come up in connection with: the change, either on the part of Grant ot of the authorities in 'Wnshin§tou, nor was General Schofield aware of the request made by Grant,— Getieral Thomas's army -friends—larger now by many timés than the great army he commanded — will read /this with interest.” Fame niag $5 i y 3

: Absni_ﬂrl\'ouon‘s. We entirely agree with the Indianapolis Jourwzal that the infinite folly; to call it by the mildest yossib}e name, into which religious notions may be forcéd by unbalanced -or inadequate brains, was never better jllugtrated than in the effort of some overirighteous ass! in ‘the: East to show: ‘that Rev. ' 'Mr. ‘Halleck's fearful death, in thé disasterat’ Mast Hope, was a manifestation ‘of God's wrath: against the habit of smoking. * Mr. Halleck was in the smoking' car, ‘and was burned to death te test the ini«jpity of the habit of smoking.. A man with- so little sense or so.much bigotry, as to entertain such an idea, is rather less fitted for! heaven than a moderately :soft-hearted. : burglar. = If reason could ‘effect ' sueli’ /creatures; it might be suggested ‘that Mr. Hulleck's relative, ‘who was in “the car' with him and actuql}jr smoking, escaped, and that the fict was quite as good evidence of divine approval of the habit; but reason and refutation are lost on the_idiocy of deformed religion. - In England, a paper called ~ the. Anti-Tobaceo . Journal traces the influcnce of smoking ini'the murder of Mr. Lincoln. = Oheof . his assassing, it says, "cpnfessed to' have buibked ' a ‘eigar & short'titie: before” the ‘deéd: was! commit: ted,” as if without that murderous and fatal eigar, the President wight have escaped.” Drigging the will anid powar of God oo such acts' by such micans, would be the wildast blaspheuy, if it ‘were not SR AUViot PIREIIRE. . | viion o

Massachusetts Sumptuaary Law. 'The attempt as made in Massachusetts, to force people to be abstinent in respect to spirituous and malt liquors, is nat aa. ly a conspicuous failure in itself, but bids fair to show the utter futility of all such laws. .So far, the effsct of the efforts of the constables seems to have becn a prohibition upon the sale and use ‘of lager beér. The Boston Herald says: =~ *

Lager beer is the only bevérage the sale of which is_practically restricted in Boston. Whisky, brandy, :rum, gin and wine of all rorts can be obtained with little trouble as cver ; but beer, which is more bulky, and must be drawn ina cer tain way to be good, can only be obtained in a few places. - The consequence is that while a large amount of* this mild and wholesome beverage is liable to be wasted, thousands who used to drink it and wanted notlring/more, are now driven to drink the fiery spirits kept in clos: ets and cellars: The effect is already apparent in a larger average of drunkenRO T SRR ..

Bat. this official register has become a - “mere means of concealing jfrom, instead of a#mi&vgto public gaze the expendi‘tures of the Government - upon its officials, or unofficials, as the case may be, and who those public beneficiaries really arel;| . : R P . ‘Hundreds of men (such as the pegro Menard, for example) have been paid out . of some:clandestine fund, as mythical members of Congress, (having no p_reteﬁsions to seats) salaries agproximating those of real meémbers, and countless hundreds of hangers-on in the purlieus of tbﬁ Capitol have fattened upon whatis called the “contingent” fund—perferming or nop performing service-—real or imagﬁnarys, which no law recognizes and for whic¢hino law provides recompense.— In the Executive Department *this class of unofficial officials has assumed faba-| ‘lous : proportions. Not a claim of conse- ' quence -is now allowéd by any Bureau before being -submitfed (not to the law officers of the government) but to outside attorneys f%r adjudication. Scarce+ ly a case of importance arises in the Dis trict or Circuit Courts throughout the country, or in the Supreme Court, in which these favorites of fortune are not seen to figure. This may be all necessary (and it is but a sample of what is going nin all the other .branches of official gusineus) upon- the ground of the ac: nowladged stupidity of t.he[rreal “officials”™ Upon this point I express no opin/ion; but it is safe to affirm that the gross ‘amount theée amateur officers receive an‘nually equals at least the nominal zgnpunt | set down in the “Blue Book,” and other official expositions, as to the full expenditure on account of tlie legitimate civil list.

- But it is, in the matter of registering, the “salary” (or income) of Recognized officials that the pablic is most grossly deceived by ‘these “books,” 'the nominal ‘\ pray of these men (legislators and execu|tive officers) is not a drop in the bucket ’\of what they really receive; and herein I by no means allude to the vulgar charge of downright pilféring. Tchre is b;ard%y # member of Congress who'ls' not, at this moment, taking money out of Unele Sam’s /pocket (beyond this 35,009 per annum) /and at the same time enjoying, at the ex|.pense of the gorernnient, all the luxuries within the grasp of millionaires. .Schenck as head of the “Ways ‘and.‘LMgnps," Committee, secured, by a solemn vote of the Houge, ten thousand dollars to defray the cost of a'tour “down and aT:ross the con tinent,” which, by 'the way, he never performed. I mention his case simply as -similar to numberless others, and not as ignominiously isolated. ’ﬁ‘he public is sufficiently aware of the wholesale catting up of Congress into traveling committees by its orders before/adjournment. A specimen of anpther sort of financiering,'in an econsmical way,|is the conversion: of Congressmen (during vacation) into quasi Foreign Ministers, ‘even where we have Ministers resident. .

{ AN INHUMAM WRETCH. ' The thﬁ&ue Herald publishes an account of the cruelty of one John Schabacher, of that place, for which the fellow ought to be cowhided from one end of the city to the other. He was leading a cow to the butcher shop, when she became refractory, and the way the scoundrel mutilated her, the Herald tells as follows: . =~ . . .

' He seized the cow by the tail, and happening to have a butcher's saw along with him, eummw&uwhg the tail into rags. ‘The cow bellowed and wheeled, and- rushed ‘hither and thither in her terror and torment, when her tormentor procgeded to knock off one horn with the butt-end of his saw. He seized her by the other horn with one hand, and took out his jack-knife and deliberately cut out both hereyes. ~Now éntirely blind, the cow tumbled info a deep ditch beside the road, - when the inhuman wretch commenced cutting her in a merciless- manner.— He slit her .ears, stabbed her in the legs in over fifty places by -actual count, cut off her teats, slit her udder into shreds, and cut her to pieces oth‘erwise in ways not to! be mentioned. To crown the whole, he set a dog upon her, who finished what he kad begun, tearing her l(g)s“i.nd nostrils, and . biting off a part of her tongue. .By some means she was finally got to some butcher shop up that way and killed, and has been, before this, mostly eaten—doubtless in part,” by some of our readers. - A crowd was attracted to the spot by the bellowings and moans of the animal, and remonstrated. with the wreteh wha was mvnﬁ'h‘ﬁbg her, but this only seemed :to . inspire him with new ferocity ' and ingenuity in cruelty. 'The spectators failed in their duty that they did not take him upon the spot and serve him in the same way he was serving the poor dumb animal.

“On_ecxamination he was found to somewhat resemble a stingaree, only, instead ‘of the head coming to a point; the space between the eyes (three féet) forming the mouth was coneave, the mouth itself measuring two feet in width; no teeth were visible. The tail was the samec as a stingarée without the sting ; the color was a dark brown, nearly black on top and white benéath ; measured twelve feét from head to tail, fourteen feet in breadth and two feet thick in the middle; his weight ‘was estimated at from twelve to fifteen hundréd pounds. = - “The history of the capture is as follows: A party of officers fishing on the pier discovered the fish close inshore, on the bottom, apparently asleep. Colonel Z. R.’Bliss, the commander of the post, an expert fisherman and whaler, immediately summoned, and being provided ' with a number of harpoons with lines attached, at once called for a boat, in hopes to capture the fish; proceeding cautiouely, the Colonel’s first throw struck the monster, which'at once started for deep water with the boat in tow. . A second and third iron. ‘were planted in him, but still he kept on. Another boat went to the assis-. tance of the first, but notwithstanding the weight of the boats; with six. persons in each, they were picked up a distance of three miles from the island, the fish 'being then' dbout dead ; ifour hours’ time was consumed. in the- - .and all the parties: engaged were completely vxhausted.

- HERE is a bit of spicy suggestion from some anonymous source: |- | v There is a mystery about this effect of weather on piety. Sabbath heat - seems hotter, Sabbath cold seems cold+ er, and Sabbath rain wetter than that | ‘of any other day. For the same | ‘measure of heat, or cold, or rain, on a | week day will not keep one from his ; usual business. We.need a Sabbath ; Almanag, circulated for our churches, ’ that will show by its weather scale 5 ~when it will be safe for a vigorous ’ christian, a weak and sickly christian, | ‘and a common christain to expose ‘himself on the Sabbath by going to the house of God. Suck an almanac would enable pastors and superintend- ' ents of Sa.bbaﬁ: schools to know whom they could depend on in church, Sabbath school and prayer meeting. I have recently been examining microscopic views of the different snow flakes, a hundred orso of them.
