written by the Seoretary of War, in the j
nresence of the President. He tieolared
it was not his intention to introduce a
single personal matter, but to speak of
public no to. He then referred to the re?
moval of Sheridan from the command of
the Fifth Military District, in 1867. It
was in consequence of tho wail which
camo up from the people of that section.
Why was it Sheridan was selected to
send back to these people, who before
condemned him and prayed for his re?
moval? Ho. (Johnson) know the deter?
mination of the people of the South;
their great object was to be restored to
tho Union. Referring to the action of
Grant toward Louisiann, he would sav to
this Emperor what Cato said to the Am?
bassador of Crosar, "Let him disband his
legions and restore ' tho commonwealth
to liberty;'' let him do that, and he,
(Johnson,) as humble as he was, would
mount the rostrum and strive to have an
indignant people forgive him for his
violation of law.

[ Execution or a Bandit. ? A roan who
resembled tho traditional bandit of the
I novel and. the stage more than he did
the ordinary 'American criminal, was
hanged on Friday, in San Jose, to the
general relief of the community he had
so long plundered and menaced. This'
I was Tiburoio Vasquez, a robber and mur?
derer of the ancient type, who was to
California what Fra Diavolo was to Italy,
who, it is said, certainly killed eight
persona, and probably killed many
others, and whose robberies it would bo
difficult to record. Ho was the terror of
Southern California, and was leagnod
with other desperate men as wicked but
not as intelligent as himself. Of his
crimes and tho long war he waged with
society, an interesting account is given.
He died bravely, as such men generally
do, and professed his innocence of mur?
der to tho last, although the evidence of
his guilt is convincing.
An Emphatic Denial Fbom Gen. F?h?
rest.?A few weokssinco, tho Washington
National Hepuhlinan published editorially
an extract which it declared had been
taken from a speech made by Gen N. B.
.Forrest at Muldon, Tenn. The sub?
stance of the extract was that another war
was inevitable, and therefore the white
paople ought to commence and kill off all
tho carpet-baggers and scallawags, or run
them out of the country. This editorial
was sent to Gen. Forrest by a friend, in
reply to which the genend has written a
letter, in which ho says:
"In the first place, there is no town in
Tennessee, to my knowledge, called Mul?
don, and in the second place, I have not
made a public speech of any kind for more
than two years?have never uttered in
the article1 you enclose attributes torne."
It is safe to assert a lease for 999 years
has never run out in this country, but
this hus recently occurred in England.
An estate let for that term has reverted to
the original holders, or rather their rep- j
resentatives. The land is at Woolwish,1
and was church property 1,000 years ago,
but was leased to the Crown for military
purposes. "Few incidents," as an Eng?
lish exchange remarks, "could speak
more eloquently of the stability of Eng?
lish institutions, and tho law-abiding
nature of Englishmen and their respect
' for the rights of property, than that
there should be an unbroken continuity
of posessions from the time of Alfred the
Great to that of Queen Victoria."
A seventeen-yeur-old boy in Paris re?
cently induced a companion of eleven
years of age to steal nine hundred francs
in gold, and then strangled him, threw 1
him into the Seine, and then walked off
with the money. He was sentenced to
twenty years in the galleys, "having es?
caped the death penalty," wo are told,
"on account of his youth." That boy
wasn't voneruble for his years, certainly,
but that he was as good material for as
pretty a little hanging as could have been
furnished by any sexagenarian in France,
nobody should pretend to deny.
The .Miles' Alarm Monet Drawer, is
an article almost indispensable to mer?
chants. Being capable of a variety of]
combinations, and simple in its construc?
tion, it recommends itself to merchants
iui an important part of their store fix?
tures. Till-tapping has became so pre?
valent that an ingenious arrangement like
that of the Miles' Money Drawer is
indeed a necessity. They are sold by
Messrs. Fairbanks ?fc Co., 311 Broadway,
New York, and the. hardware trade geu??

Petitions in favor of hanging a con?
victed murderer are not so familiar to the
{mblic as sentimental appeals in his be
lalf, but that such things do occur, is
pointedly demonstrated in Boston.
Efforts having been made to procure the
pardon of Jesse Pomeroy, tho boy mur?
derer, by petitions signed by ladies, a
delegation of ladies, numbering about
twentyifive, waited on the Governor and
urged the execution of the young barba?

When a man comes home and tries to
bolt his door with a sweet potato, pokes
tho fire with the spout of a coffee-pot, at?
tempts to wind up tbo clock with his
boot-jack, tries to cut kindling-wood for
the morning fire with a paper-knife,
takes a cold potato in hand to light him
to bod. and profers sleeping with his
hat and boots, you may reasonably infer
thut ho has _bocn making the acquaint?
ance of some very friendly people.
It is said that at a recent temperance
meeting in Illinois, a leading clergyman
who refused to sign tho customary pledge,
which was rather too stringent "for him,
was permitted to sign one which would
allow him to "oat and drink to the glory
of God." The amount of "glory of God"
concealed in a quart of ten-cent whiskey
is a thing, some folks think, which no
"leading clergyman" can afford to Bee
wasted.
The following is one of the sweet little
ditties of tho Western spelling-school:
O, lead my infant feet to walk
Into the spelling-school;
Let other children sneer and laugh
At nuthographio rule.
But me that better way will lead
Till perfectly I spell;
So may I shun the path that loads
To where Josh Billings feU.
A Tax on Bachelors.?A bill has been
made the special order in the State Se?
nate of Tennessee containing the follow?
ing seotion: 4 'That baohelorism is hereby
declared a privilogo, and overy male in?
habitant of this State over thirty years of
age, being of sound mind and enjoying

ried after tne 1st of May, 1875, shall pay
a fine of ten dollars annually."
An editor must be stirred up to hia
vory dregs to be compelled to read his
own files. Tho editor of the Cleveland
Herald has been doing it upon some sub?
ject connected with the Bender subject.
Every one of his files from 1855 down !
That he has been ablo to do this and live,
is something worthy of inquiry on the
part of tho medical fraternity. Talk
about a doctor taking his own medicine!
A mother-in-law has sent a communi?

Mr. J. :B. Ott't-n, of Charleston, died

i
A few years ago the authorities of Bos?
ton, agreed that thoy v.ould incur no
debt which they could pay the same
year. As a consequence taxes have been
wKlnfjed ten per cent., and more, than
000,000 of the municipal debt has,
_ paid.off. In the-meantime many
?matiai improvements have boon
made. Other cities might find a lesson

, Thomas H. Goodwill, d practicing pky-1

which she died to-day. The victim was
of a good family, was twenty-three years
old.
The Australian gold production
much smaller than the yield of precious

was threo times this amount.
