Item far Boarder*.
A young man in Buffalo has juat fallen
heir to a largo sum of money, bequeathed
to him by the landlady with whom he at
one time boarded. The recipient remem
bers that she once said to him that lie was
the only boarder she ever had wlio didn't
And fault with the victuals, and she would
remember him for it. He knows uo other
reason for this mnrk of the deceased lady's
regard,
Boarders will take more kindly to Hash,
we trust, after jxjrusing this paragram.
Standing in Their Own Light.
While most of our people seem to desire
the advent among us of thrifty, intelli
gent, and skilful farmers, there are some,
we regret to state, actuated by selfish
motives, and arc standing in their own
light by asking such prices for their
surplus lands ns will drive from among us
those who desire to find a permanent
home with us. The fact that an increase
of our laboring population adds more to
our real wealth, and enhances the value
of our lands and our products, seems to be
ignored by many.
Decision iu Bankruptcy.
Judge Ekskine. of the U. S. District
Court, decides ns follows :
Every creditor, secured or unsecured, of
the bankrupt, is a defendant in the pro
ceedings, and if a creditor has a lien, either
epecifio or general, and ho wishes to pro
tect it, he must disclose its particular char
acter that it may be legally, and accoiding
to its priority or dignity, ascertain 'd nud
liquidated.
Important Leiial Decision.
The following question arose before
Judge Ekskine, at Atlanta, a few days
since:
Has the Court the power to order the
sale of the estate of the bankrupt encum
bered by lien, and the money arising from
the sale brought into Court to be distributed
to the creditors holding the securities?
The Judge stated, in his opinion, that it
was the intention of Congress to confer on
the Court the power to dispose of the en
cumbered property of the bankrupt in any
way it might, in its discretion, deem best
for the interest of all concerned. It is also
his opinion, that in the case before him the
purchaser will take the property when sold
free from all encumbrances, the lien being
transferred from the property to the fund.
Circ ii allocution.
An English paper tells of circumlocution
in the British War Office. It says there is
a tradition, said to be historical, concern
ing a clerk in the War Office, who once
wanted a peg whereon to hang his hat. To
save the expense of a carpenter, he applied
for a hammer and nail with which to drive
it in himself. Six months passed before he
received any answer to his request, and he
had long ago set up a peg of his own,
when a special messenger of the Tower
arrived in Pall Mall with a hammer sent to
him at last through the medium of num
berless requisitions and authorizations. At
the same time lie was informed that it was
not the province of the Tower officials to
supply nails, but that these would come to
him from Woolwich; and, after a few
months further waiting, they really did
arrive—a pound of nails, brought by a
great ambulance wagon, with its half
dozen horses and its dozen attendants.
Excellent Advice.
A paper published in Houston, Texas,
begs the young men who come there from
the country to seek business situations, to
remain at home. It says : “Stay away,
there are no vacancies here. Stay where
you are ; pull off your coiff, take hold of a
plow. Times are hard, 'tis true; they
will never be flush unless we learn to de
pend upon our own resources, and work
out our own salvation.”
In this last sentence there is a text for a
sermon. It applies forcibly to the young
men all over our country—and with pecu
liar emphasis, in this section, to the swarms
of yonng men who have come into the
cities from the plantations to grumble
about their losses, to whine over the “lost
cause,” to abuse the Yankees, to curse
Congress, to inflame the minds of whites
and blacks against one another, and to
brood over future schemes for securing
Southern independence, reistablishing
slavery under some new name, and consti
tuting once more a privileged class of su
perior because richer whites, who shpll
lord it over the poor while trash and de
spised ‘•niggers.”
The Contrast.
We were forced to blush at the course
pursued by some of our cotemporaries
“native and to the manner born,” in their
allusions to the death of C. C. Richard
son, late of Maine, a member of the Con
stitutional Convention, who met a violent
death last week in Atlanta. One of them
(in Augusta) has quoted poetry in aid of
his coarse wit upon the occasion ; another
(in Madison) expressed the hope that other
“ radicals” would meet a similar fate;
another (in Macon, claiming to be par
excellence one of the chivalry), winds up
his insult to the dead, by blessing the
name of the Lord for his taking away.
We have no heart to continue the list of
the remaining refined and brave misrep
resentatives of tho Southern press who
have in this particular permitted their par.
tisan zeal to override the impulses which
have hitherto guided generous foes every
where in the civilized world. And, the
truth must be told, it was reserved for a
“Yankee” Georgia editor (the Griffin
Star), himself the strictest of the sect
among the opponents of Reconstruction,
to utter the following sentence, which—
creditable to his heart—is in striking con
trast to the unmanly flings of tho chival
rous Yankec-bating editors alluded to.
Said the Star :
“ His death will be regarded by most
Georgians either with indifference or a si
lent feeling of satisfaction, that one regarded
as an enemy, has gone where ho can do
oqr oppressed people no more harm. But
we venturo the assertion, that fond rela
tives, perhaps a mother, sisters and others,
weep as bitter tears of grief over their
loss, as we do over our uffiiotions. Tho
sacred precincts of their grief wo would
not enter, but rather heal than aggravate
these sonl-stirring wounds.”
PniMliM la Traveller*.
The New Haven Railroad Company is
preparing anew style of car to run upon
tho Boston line. It will have six indepen
dent compartments, each of wliicli will
accommodate seven travellers, and be
warmed by a coil of pipes, which will be
connected with a patent coal stove so fixed
that nothing but an entire smashing of the
ear can upset it. Little closets and look
ing-glasses will add to the comforts of the
conveyance—which, as regards the up
holstery, is a great improvement on the
general order of railway cars. A similar
care and anxiety for the personal safety of
tlie travellers would make such improve
ment perfect; for, without that principle
of safety, the mere elegance of a railway
car would be only a secondary considera
tion.
Advance of Common Reuse.
One of “the medical faculty,” in opening
a course of lectures, recently, in a certain
city, said that during the past sixty years
the improvements in the medical art had
increased longevity seventy-one per cent, in
Paris, and that in London the difference of
death Vates between the nineteenth centu.
ries was greater than between a year of
general health and a year of cholera in
that city at the present time. At first
blush this would seem to be volumes of
praise for medicine ; but when we consider
that the spirit of improvement lias steadily
marched in the direction of doctoring less
and leaving man to nature, the improve
ment would seem to be rather in tho ad
vance of common sense than of science; or,
to be more accurate, in the approach of
science toward the less pretentious standard
of common sense.
The Abbe Cambelot thinks the host
means of getting rid of Fenianism would
he “to supplicate Pius IX. to come over and
sing high mass in St. Paul’s, of London,
and to proclaim there, according to the
Evangel, the definite abolition of the bast
ard work of Hanry VIII.; to restore on
the ruins of Anglicanism the Pontifical
authority, (hatsupreme authority, even the
intallible authority of St. Peter’s prede
cessor.

A Clergyman in a neighboring village had
suffered for many years, from an obstinate
catarrh, which had resisted all attempts for
a cure. The obstruction and discharge
from the nose was constant, destroying
both taste and smell; and at times even
interfering from the change of voice, with
bis public ministrations. Almost in des
pair, he commenced the use of Humph

use of only a few pills—one every night—
found himself improved; and ere he had
used an entire box, could consider himself
entirely well. ts

The market for provisions during tho past

Interesting from Washington.
THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL GRANT’S
DIFFICULTIES.
Extracts of Letters, etc.
Washington, February 11.— The Presi
dent opoDS extraordinary: “The charac
ter of your letter of the 3d would seem to
preclude a reply; but the manner in
which publicity was given to the correspond
ence, whereof that letter forms a part, and
grave questions involved, induce this mode
of giving a proper sequel to the communi
cations which have passed between us.
The statements of five members of the
Cabinet, present daring the conversation
on the 14th, and copies of their letters to
me, are enclosed.''
Quoting from General Grant’s letter, the
President says: “ When a controversy
upon matters of fact reaches the point to
which this has been brought, farther asser
tion or denial between the immediate par
ties should cease, especially where on either
side it loses tho character of respectful
discussion, which is required by the rela
tions in which the parties stand to each
other.”
After quoting again, tho President says,
“The point is, that before you changed your
views y O5l had secretly determined to do
the very thing which you at last did—sur
render the office to Mr. Stanton. You may
have changed your views as to the law, but
you certainly did not change your views as
to tho course you had marked out for
yourself front the beginning.”
Tho President argues at some length the
legality of his order to Grant to disregard
Stanton's orders, making the point that
Grant will not obey his direct orders, but
will obey his indirect orders. The Presi
dent concludes, “Without further comment
upon tho insubordinate attitude which you
have assumed, I am at a loss to know
how you can relieve yourself from obedi
ence to the orders of tho President, who is
made by the Constitution the Commander
iu-Chief of tho Army and Navy, and is,
therefore, the official superior as well of
the General of tho Army, as ot the Secre
tary of War.”
Following is the President’s letter to
the Secretaries present at the 14tli of Jan
uary conversation.
This morning's Washington Chronicle
contains tho correspondence between the
President and Gen. Grant, reported from
the WarDepartinent, in answer to a call
from the House. It calls attention to the
correspondence, especially that part re
lating to the conversations between Grant
and the President.
Secretary Wells says: “My recollection
of the conversation corresponds with your
statement of it in your letter of the 31st
January. The three points specified in
that letter, giving your recollection of the
conversation, are correctly stated.”
Secretary McCulloch says : “I can not
undertake to state the precise language
used, hut I have no hesitation in saying
that your account of that conversation, as
given in your letter to General Grant ot
the 31st, substantially, and in all important
particulars, accords with my recollection
of it.”
Secretary Randall says: “I have read
carefully the correspondence in question,
and particularly the letter of the President
to General Grant, of the 3lst. The follow
ing extract from that letter, is, according to
my recollection, a correct statement of the
conversation that took place between the
President and General Grant at tho Cabi
net meeting on the 14th of January.”
Randall then quotes the President’s ver
sion.
Seward’s letter is quite long—giving a
detailed account of his impressions of wlmt
occurred. Quoting the substance of xvliat
the President said, Seward says: “ I did
not understand Grant as denying, nor as
explicitly admitting, these statements in
tint form and full extent to which you made
them. His admission of them was rather
indirect and circumstantial, though I did
not understand it to be an evasive one.”
After luriher details, Seward continues:
“Certainly Gen. Grant did not at any time
in the Cabinet meeting insist that he had
in the Saturday's conversation either dis
tinctly or finally advise you of his determi
nation to retire from the charge of the War
Department, otherwise than under your
own subsequent direction. He acquiesced
in your statement that the Saturday's eon.,
veraation ended with an expectation that
there would be a subsequent conference on
the subject, which he as w ill as yourself
supposed could reasonably lake place on
Monday. Gen. Grant admitted that it was
his expectation or purpose to call on you on
Monday. Gen. Grant assigned reasons for
the omission.”
Mr. Seward’s letter caused shouts of
alternate derision and incredulity from the
Republicans, as his cautious narrative
proceeded Seoretary Browning’s letter
was also quite long, and mainly a repeti
tion. General Grant has already written
a reply, opening thus : “ I have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your com
munication of tho 10th iust., accompanied
by the statements of five Cabinet officers
of their recollections of what occurred in
the Cabinet meeting on tho 14th of Jan
uary. Without admitting anything con
tained in these statements, where they
differ from nnythiug heretofore stated by
me, 1 proposo to notice only that portion
of your communication wherein I am
charged with insubordination.”
General Grant then proceeds to argue
tho point at some length.
