The following from the Petersburg Tribune shows the character and sentiment of at least one man on the. Democratic ticket of this State: "During the meeting of the Baptist Association held in this county last October, a discussion sprung up over a resolution introduced for the purpose of dismissing one of the members who had previously taken the stump asNv politician. , In debate the Rev. Mr. Glllc!pi?, of Vincennes, remarked that he had prayed for the Union soldiers; and Mr. Loveless said that he i had net only prayed for the soldiers and 'the overthrow of the rebellion, but that ho had entered the army. These gentle- i men were at onco taken to task by Mr. ' Phillips, who said that they had both ! done wrong, the former in praying for I those who wcro engaged in the work of killing their fellow men; the latr in imbruing his hands in the blood of his brother. This incident will be recol lected by many: of our citizens and is given to the public for the .purpose of showing the faith of one of those who are asking office at the hands of the people. With men who thought it wrong to fight for the country or pray for its soldiers for Superintendents of - Public Instruction, and with such democratic literature as the 'Youth's history of the War," introduoed into our schools, we presume that the Government would be considered entirely secure by ; the mongrel party which calls itself democratic." We ask those Republicans whostyle themselves' 'Liberalists," particularly the youthful political editor of the Telegramwho have resolved as a society to cast their votes for the Rev. J. R. Phillips in preference to Barnabas C. Hobbs, to ponder the above, and look before they leap out of what they deem the ''frying-pan" into the fire. Altho' a strict and consistent Friend, and bear ing his testimony, against war, yet, during the democratic rebellion, he did all in his power toward maintaining the families of our brave soldiers, and for the relief of those who were wounded by rebel democratic bull ets . He was found acting the .part of the good Sa maritan , while his opponent, the Rev J. R. Phillips, was doing all in: his power to make the democratic principle enunciated at Chicago, a success, and prove the war for the life of the Nation incited and propagated in the inter ests of slavery by democratic Southern leaders ma fai lube," and he could not find words strong enough to reprove one of his brother ministers for "praying for the soldiers aud for the overthrow of the rebellion" and another for not only aiding the cause by prayer, but for -showing his faith in its righteous ness and justice by his works ! They have been finding some human skeletons in France, supposed to date back to a time prior to the present geo logical period,' and beyond the historic al creation of man. Seven such ekele tons' have lately been found in the department of the Dordogne, near Eyzies; five of them have been sent to Paris for scientific examination, two having been destroyed by5 the laborers who dug them up. The circumstances of their discovery their, formation, and the nature of the earth in which they were buried has not yet been published. ' Eliza E. WiKberger, a richr widow of Philadelphia,' who died without issue recently, left, by will, ber entire fortune, over a quarter of a million, to the various Episcopal charity institution of that city; and to Bishop Stevens, in trust, for the relief of the poor of the church.

Thaddena Stevens Argument. The venerable Thaddeua Stereos, In his peech, manifest that chief talent of a debater I which haa ad. Wm the leader of the Housethe ability la aaizo'unon the determine facta: the piyotalpointsof the question under consideration, and to present them with a force that is logic itself, and a simplicty that is above j eloquence. His analysis of the queslioa whether Mr. Stanton was included in the Tenure-of Office act presents the point so clearly that we -smile involuntarily at the idea that it should ever have escaped the notice of any person who read the act. It is briefly as follows: The first clause of the act declares that all officers what soever shall hold their offices until the Senate shall consent to their removal, except those mentioned in the second clause. The second clause provides that members of the Cabinet shall hold their offices during the term of the President by whom they were appointed, and one month thereafter, unless they are sooner removed with the consent of the Senate. Now, the first and the second clause together include all officers whatsoever. , If Mr. Stanton, as argued by the President's counsel, is not included io the second or excepting clause, he is included in the first or comprehending clause. Getting him out of the second clause into the first is "out of the frying-pan into the fire." In the language of Mr. Stevens: )K "The first section provides that every person holding civil office, who has been appoin ted with the advice and consent of the Senate, and every person that hereafter shall be appoint ted to any such office, shall be entitled to hold such office until a successor shall have been in like manner appointed and duly qualified, ! except' as herein otherwise provided.. Then comes the proviso which the defendant's coun sel says does not embrace . Mr. s Stanton, be cause he was not appointed by the President , in wnose term ne was removed, it ne was . not embraced in the proviso, then he wa? nowhere specially provided for, and was conse quently embraced in the first clause of the first section which declares that every person holding any civil office not otherwise provided for, comes within the provisions of this act. ' This point, we think, is unanswerable, and ends the discussion as to whether Secretary Stanton is embraced in the law. Every offi cer appointed with the adviee and consent of the Senate is embraced in it. Mr. Stevens' next telling argument is found in the letter of the President to the Secretary of the Treasury, notifying him of the suspension of Mr. Stanton, "in compliance," as the President states in his letter, "with the requirements of the act entitled 'An act to regulate the tenure of certain civil offices.'" ,Qere we have the written official acknowlt dgement of the President himself, not only of 1 11-obligation to obey the Tenure of-Office act, fut of the fact that it applies to and governs he case of Secretary Stanton. He recognized ,he same fact also in his order suspending (Stanton, a proceeding authorized only by that 1 1 : . . . . . : . t aw, and in his message communicating to the Senate the reasons for his suspension. Well aay Mr. Stevens declare: "How necessary . ... J I or a man either to have a eood conscience or rgood memory!' that if be bhould either bey the law or .attempt to defy it, that he should be able to remember whether he has tot recognized its validity ! Mr. Stevens then, with crushing force, con trasts the above confession of his obligation 'to obey this law, with his subsequent celebra ted and unfortunate letter to General Grant, in which he states that the General knew "that the President was desirous of keeping Mr Stanton out of office, whether sustained in his suspension or not.' In this letter he stated that bad he Known that Gen. Grant would not co-operate in keeping Stanton out of office whether the Senate sustained him or not, he would have appointed some one else in the place of Grant. Here the President, after acknowledgeing that Stanton was within the terms of the Tenure of Office law, and consequently could not be removed without consent of the Senate, nor suspended after they had restored him, shows not only that he had at tempted to seduce and bully Gen. Grant .into aiding him to Keep Mr. Stanton out of the office after the Senate had voted to restore him, but declares that he would have removed Grant had he known that the latter would have refused to join him in his -disobedience. He moreover abuses the patriotic and clear-headed General, for obeying the law, in terms of foul insult and vilification which he has ' never since his apostacy. applied to a rebel or a trai tor. There is more than illegality in such in consistency. There are the hypocrisy and scoundrelism of a desperado who has but one definite purpose or intent, viz., to evade, violate, or defy the law, and who cares not, so long as he gets past it, whether he drives over it, around it, or through it. Mr. btevens, witn bis large knowledge o human nature, finds an authority more forcible than could be derived from musty books, in the thrice-repeated votes of more than two-thirds of the Senators themselves, in favor of the Tenure-of-Ofice law, before it was passed; added to which was a fourth vote of the same Senators, restoring Mr. Stanton to office after the President had suspended him, followed still by a fifth vote of the same Senators for the res olution condemning the removal of Stanton and the appointment of Thomas, as unlawful acts, ' Mr. Stevens says truly, that any Senator who now, without cause, with no fact devel oped which was not fully known to him , when each of these five votes were cast, should stul tify them all by a vote for the acquittal of An drew Johnson, would "be tortured on the gib bet of everlasting obloquy. How Ions and dark would be the track of infamy which must mark his name and that of his posterity.' It is ' expected that the Surratt case will come up at the May term of the District of Columbia Criminal Court unless a further post ponement be granted..

The name blood-hound is given to him for the reason that, if fresh blood be spilled across the track of the animal he is pursuing he will follow the blood in preference to the other scent. He is tall, square headed, with long ears ana drooping lips; his chest is broad, legs crooked, elbows turned out, tongue deep, and in pursuit he is slow. But his power of scenting is extraordinary. He will follow a single deer or other animal twelve or fourteen hours after he has passed by, and if lost for the day he will resume the chase and pursue with unerring certainty on the day following and until his game is overtaken. ' If he is in pursuit of the cattie or sheep-stealer, no matter how many honest men have had the same foot-path, he still will follow the thief. If he has lost his own master he will follow his track through the streets of the city," though an army may " have passed that way. How wonderful this power! : And how shall we account for it? Has he examined the foot or shoe that makes the track and scented the peculiar effluvium that may escape from it? If so,does that effluvium adhere to the foot-print for hours and days after the animal or man has passed by? However great his power of scentiug, how has he learnd what is to be distinguished that he may not mistake the track of the animal he pursues? But the whole subject is involved in mystery, and all we can do is to call this power in the animal, instinct. Rim auk able Discovery. The Chatanooga Union says that Mr. Wm. Staples while digging recently in a saltlick on his farm, a few miles north-east of Kingston, Tenn., struck a solid lime stone rock about seven feet below the surface. lie found in it a well, about eight inches in diameter, filled with very saltwater. After the discovery of the well, Mr. Staples prosecuted his investigations, and found, to his surprise, a i:ne of Kftlt kpUiM. Th kpttloa wr e .1 1 of stoneware, made of the same material .. . . . T ,. . it . . J nouseware, such as plates, dishes, fcc. -mu T.-iii t t 1 a xuw eiUH ere l,rosen' DUt lue cur vature indicated thai they were about three feet in diameter and about forty in number. A most striking fact connect ed with the discover)-, is, that the kettles were found at a depth of seven feet below the surface of the ground. Growing above them were trees poplar and oaks which were evidently two centuries old. A Curious Experiment. Take a piece of pasteboard, about five inches square, roll it into a tube, with one end just large enough to fit around the eye, and the other end rather smaller. Hold the tube between the thumb and finger of the right hand (do not grasp it with the whole hand); put the large end dose against thej-ight eye, and with the left hand hold a book against the side of the tube. Be sure and keep both eyes open and there will appear to be a hole through the book, and objects seem as if through the hole, instead of through Ihe tube. The right ye sees through the tube, and the left eye, sees the book, -and the two appearances are so confounded together that they can not be separated. The left hand can be held against the tube instead of a book, and the hole will seem to be through the band. MINDINU ONE'S BUSINESS. It is doubtless a good rule to mind one's own business and let other people's affairs alone. There may. however, be some difference as to the limits of one's business. For example, did He "who went about doing good" violate this rule? Was not that his special business? So, also, is he not minding his own business who seeks out the dis tressed, and solicits aid from the pros perous for their relief? And yet such a man is often bluffed off with "mind your own business." Every one who thinks that he or she has a 'mission,' and seeks to fulfill it, is often recommended to re spect the rule of minding one's own business. The other day in speaking of the efforts of certain self styled re formers, a gentleman said that he had lived nearly seventy years, and had learned that it was the better policy to mina one s own ousiness; ana yec, in less than three minutes, that same gentleman was talking about writing a book on "Aristocracy, Rascality and Lazi ness!" He was compelled to give it up, that after all, every one must be his own judge as to what his business is in this world. A Virginian has carved a cane which contains likenesses of General R. E.

rr EAWiAOB'woiiRtsr Dwunojt, Aprl 1 20. v Many of the readers of tb.q Gazett knew Jacob Morris, knd all who knew him will be pained tot learn that he is dead. He died at his residence in this place this morning at 3 o'clock. And thus another link that bound us to the past is severed. r Alas'-how 'few of them remain. Mr. Morris was a na tive of, Warren county, and being 69 years" of age, was among our 'oldest native born citizens. s , ; t I have not the time, neither have I the data at hand, for a notice of his life that would do justice to his memory. There were those who were wider known than Jacob Morris there were none more honest, more benevolent, more faithful in all good works, and beloved by all who knew him, than he. He was a printer by trade, and for many years was editor and proprietor of the Western Star, published here, in connection with W. II. P. Denny. He had held the office of Treasurer of this county and more recently was Collector of Internal Revenue here, while Mr. Martin was Collector for the District. , He was a devoted and consistent member of the Baptist Church, and

jived a quiet, unostentatious, consistent Christian life, and he died the death of a christian. If there is one to speak ill of Jacob Morris among all who knew him, that one is unknown in this community. And thus they pass away those good old men who stamped the impress of their character upon our institutions. A. H. Dunlevy, John Hunt, and a few others of the native born citizens, are all that are left us. Let us emulate the virtues of those who live, and cherish the memory of those who have gone, and thus shall we, as they, live honora--ble lives, and when we come to die, like them leave to our children the heritage of a good name, and to community the benefits of a well spent life. B. GRANT DRUNKENNESS. We have made careful and honest and dilignet inquiry, ami say, most empiratically, that Grant, from the time he entered West Point in 1839 until he resigned from the army in 1854, and from the time he rejoined the army, in 1861, up to the present date, has always been a sober man. We well remember how the papers said that Gen. McDowell lost the first battle of Bull Run because he was drunk, and we doubt not but that thousands of good people to this day think McDowell is a drunkard, when, as scores of officers can testify, he is a perfect old maid about w'jiskey never drinks a drop, and is constantly lecturing officers who do take a glass. John B. Gough is not a better temperance man than Irvin McDowell. It was a mighty hard cut on him, after being a temperance man all his life, and devoting his spare time to lecturing the young officers on the beauty of total abstinence, to give the old soldier a national reputation as a' drunkard; but we, for one, are not sorry for it, if it has induced him to stop lecturing others. As Charlie Norris, of the dragoons, used to say, "If Mac had'nt talked temperance so much, and took his glass regularly along with the rest of us, them newspaper chaps would never have cracked that joke about his getting drunk at Bull Run." John Pope saj's: "If you want to in jure a man and can't think of anything else to charge against him, just say he gets drunk; and as half the people take their grog, they will be sure to believe it." There is a good deal of truth in that and Pope might , have added: "If you want to discredit a man just say he's a liar," and, although we cannot say whether, for the same reason he ad vances the cause of whiskey, yet cer tain it is that at one time the American people believed Pope' the greatest liar living, when the facts of history go to show that he is really one of the most truthful men in the country. At Shiloh, while riding fast, Grant's horse fell, and gave him a severe contusion; thereupon, some newspaper writers gave out that be was drunk, and fell off his horse, when the truth was, Grant was just as sober at the battle of Shiloh as the ministers will be.who will go into their pulpits to preach to the people next Sabbath day. These examples will serve to show how easily it is for the people to be mistaken in a man's character, when2they get their information from the teachings of a venal? unscrupulous and partisan press. Brisbin's Grant Papers. -"' A Correspondent who "has recently visited Andersonville cemetery, says : "You may read statements of mortality unmoved, but wl en you. see a row of graves of 130 men who all died in one day, 3ou are shocked. It must have taken a small army to bury these ' men. They lay shoulder to shoulder, as they stood in the ranks ; yet the dead of one day more than fill a row two hun dred feet long. My indignation went on incrasing from "No 1 died Feburary 27., 1864 to 'No. 12,848 died April 28, 1865.' I fear if we all lived within eight of Andersonville, there would be no "moderate men, hardly any just men but a nation of revengeful men. I tThe four largest States in the Union are Texas, 274,356 square miles; Cali fornia, 188,981 square miles, Nevada, 1 12,000 r square miles, and Colorado, 104,500 square miles.

General Napibb commanded the English forces and King Tiibodork Ied the savages. The English were victorious, and the King retreated to his capital. Magdala was carried by storm on the following Monday, King Theodoue killed and the English captives all set free. The loss of the savages was heavy and that of the English light. The London Spectator 6a3's: "It has been calculated that out of 82,500,000,000 of money invested in British railways, at least $600,000,000 have been entirely lost owing to the mismanagement of railway affairs. Women are permitted to practice in the courts of Iowa, and no harm has yet been done Iowa law, whilst the de corum of Iowa court rooms has been visibly better. The Tribune's Washington special of Monday the 20th ult. says: The Ku-Klux Klan, as may naturally be expected, have come to the assistance of Mr. Johnson.

" : In the preparation of this work the greatest care has been taken to fully satisfy the public in regard to Gen. Grant's opinions on the leading questions of the day, and to present such an analysis of his ele- : mentary character as to demonstrate what the public may rely upon in General Grant, whatever complicetions our National affairs may hereafter assume, while he holds an important position among the chief executive forces of the country, i " .:- The silence or reticence of Gen. Grant, heretofore, and which has been a subject of so much comment, and, not unfrequently, uncalled for curiosity, will be found thoroughly explained upon the score of the most statesman-like prudence and wisdom. . . " Gen. Grant belongs to that class of great men whose eloquence is expressed according to the Demosthenic definition of "action 1 action 1 1 action I ! f rather than in words, but he is not found wanting in vigorous power with the pen or in the elegancies of a compact aud emphatic style of utterance in language. In the general hubbub of politics when the small men and demagogues are each and all forcing opportunities to express '"their views," the silent men who speak only when necessity commands, and are apt to be overlooked, or their silence is misinterpreted. , It is desirable," therefore, that reflecting -people they upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others, "the dignity and safety of the Republic after all depend," should withdraw - from the turmoil, long enough at least to study and judge what may be expected in the future from such men as General Grant, ' whom no devices of demagogues, or wiles of opposing statesmen, can depose from popular exaltation. It becomes then the duty, as it will be the pleasure of such to thoroughly study him. ; -1 Of the number of works in the form of biography, etc., with which the public are supplied, regarding General Grant, we confidently believe this will be found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable.
