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.

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. Tb« Contentions w GEORGIA. Atlanta, Feb* 11.— The Convention was engaged to day > the trial of Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, negro. By a vote of 64 over 52 tho matter was recommitted, with instructions to report on Friday next. FLORIDA. Tallahassee, Fla., February II The Majority Convention met last night at 11 o'clock.
