GRANT. COLFAX. AND VICTORY.
Although the campaign for the Presi
dency has not fairlv opened, and little lias
been done by our party leaders in the can
vass—as they as yet have not seen the
enemy or known what his line ol battle
will be, and can not tell till after the meet
ing of the New York Convention on Sat
urday next —yet the cheering notes of
active preparation for the combat, the
swelling en'husiasm of the great heart of
our loyal masses, sweep) over the country
in favor of Grant and Colfax ; and even
mail brings us gratifying assurance of a
certain, grand, and final triumph for the
Republican nominees a triumph, too,
which our country now so greatly needs, a
triumph of law over the lawless, a triumph
of the loyal over the disloyal, a triumph of
the great and humanizing principle of
universal freedom and progress a noble,
glorious triumph, bringing the gratifying
assurances of peace to our distracted coun
try ; harmony, happiness and prosperity to
our people and the republic.
“CitKATi ui:.-.”—l ho C/nimii A refers to
Southern republicans ns ''creatures" having
“guilty consciences.” In the first place, the
vilest of all “creatures” arc such as the
self-styled cx-“(iovernor” of licit journal and
his followers, who rebelled against a good
government, were whipped and subjugated,
and solemnly promised to submit, arid then
broke that promise and became more
rebellious than before. Such “creatures”
have thus twice perjured their souls. In
the very nature of things, when they see
and refleet on their great sin, they mml feel
that (hey arc lost to all truth, to all decency,
and all patriotism. Hence their desperation.
In the second place, there is blood on
their consciences—the blood of murder, of
conscripts shot and banged; of women and
children widowed and orphaned, arid in
some cases starved by their policy—of a
whole land drenched in fraternal blood to
gratify their lust for power and office—of
churches divided—of families alienated,
the father against the son, and the son
against the father—of, ill fine, a condition
of things which starts grey hairs on young
heads, which hardens delicate fingers in
the toil for daily bread, which dooms
myriads of innocent children to beggary
and ignorance, which drives strong men to
insanity and death! And yet such
“creatures," instead of keeping silence in
view of their enormous crimes against
humanity and against their country, are
constantly engaged in maligning and tra
ducing our best people. Let them go on.
The country is free in spite of them, and
they can, therefore, say what they please ;
but they are only adding to the weight of
that popular condemnation which is con
stantly increasing against them, and which
will ultimately consign them to an infamy
compared with which Arnold, and Burr,
and other betrayers of their country, will
appear “respectable.” *
Colfax vs. Coai.fax. —A dispute having
arisen between some persons in l)es
Moines, lowa, relative to the proper pro
nunciation of the name of the Republican
candidate for Vice President, one of them
addressed Him a letter of inquiry. A
portion contended that it was pronounced
Col fix, others claiming that it was Coal fax.
The Speaker’s reply reads as follows :
Washington, May 20.—My first name
is pronounced as if written ‘Skyler,’ and
the Inst as if written ‘Coalfax.’ The ‘a’
doubtless dropped out in crossing the
ocean.

Jane leaves us to day. This leafy raonth >
the season of Summer’s infancy, always
brings the remembrance of childhood's hours,
dedicated to youthful memories, and indis
solubly associated with llie pastimes and
pleasures of earlier years. The simple, un -
obtrusive melody of Mrs. Gilman’s poem
(known to almost every school child), rings
upon the memory like the echo of a half
forgotleu chime ; and within our inner mind
is pictured, by force of sheer association, the
pleasurable events of days lang syne :
Motfior, dear mother, tlio winds are at play,
Prithee, let me lie idle to day ;
Look, dear mother, the Mower.- all lie
Languidly under the bright blue sky ;
Bco how slowly the streamlet glides,
Look how the violet roguishly hides ;
Even tho butterfly rest on the roso
And scarcely sips the sweets as he goes.
* ‘-a * a * #
You bid me lie busy, bat, mother dear,
!low tho hum-drum grasshopper snuudcih near,
And the soft west wind i so light in its play
It scarcely moves a leaf on the spray.
The closing hours of June arc bright and
beautiful enough to make up for the gloom
of May. Tli ■ prospect is that July will give
us a warm and sultry month, which, doubtless,
will have the effect upon those who are tin
fortunately denizens of the city to make
them wish fin - a return of the coolness of tin:
past thirty day.-. But the sad experience of
the past.should tn.icli our people to prepare
for “the heat :.i term.’ Tli re should be vigi
lance and hygienic precautions on every
hand. Let every housekeeper aid the au
thorities in keeping the city in a clean and
healthful condition.
B|llow to Cure Bkugauy.— lt lias been
remarked that there never were so many
beggars nor so much suffering in our cities
as at the present time. The attempt to relieve
this suffering and remove the evil of beggary
by charity, is like pouring wafer into a seive
with the idea of filling it. The public
charities are very expensive and themselves
are often impositions on popular benevolence,
while indiscriminate private charity as often
does harm as good. The true mode of relief
is to give employment so that the sufferers
can earn their living; and if the able bodied
will not accept work willingly, let them take
it by compulsion. There is plenty of work
somewhere, and if there is not sufficient
demand in the city, the supply should be
taken to tiie country, where there is no end
to the demand for labor. Begging, thieving
idleness, should not be tolerated nor fed
gratuitously, anywhere. Thousands would
be glad of the assistance which would place
them where they could earn an honest
living. *
Laws of Divorce.- The laws of the
several States relating to marriage and
divorce arc so conflicting', ollcn nullifying
each other, that it is beginning to lie
seriously asked it steps ought not to be
taken to secure greater uniformity. The
subject is very important and lies at the
foundation of all good society; and if the
States can not so far yield the idea of
•sovereignty' as to submit to a United
States law regulating marriage and divorce,
it would seem to be the part of wisdom
that some mode of conference and adjust
meat of the State laws oil the subject
should he carried out. As it is, there is
altogether too much injustice and rascality
indulged in through the want of harmony
in existing laws.
GEN. GRANT AND THE JEWS.
III'.AIXJI AUTEKS Altar Os THE U. S., )
Washington, May 0, 18(58. j
Snt: Your letter relating to the order of
General Grant, dated at Oxford, Miss,
Dec. 17, IS<>2, expelling Jews, as a class,
from his department, is before me. You
are doubtless aware that General Grant has
never, either by himself or through the aid
of his friends, attempted to defend any
military, order which the emergencies of
the service seemed at that time to require.
However, as my name is attached to it as
Assistant Adjutant General, it may not he
improper to state that at and previous to
its date our military affairs were in a most
critical condition, and important movements
were transpiring. General Sherman was
collecting forces at Memphis and Helena.
General Grant was moving steadily against
Pemberton, at Grenada,'keeping up appear
ances of immediate attack, to divert his
attention from Sherman, and in cooperating
with Grant, Dodge was moving south from
Corinth. The success of Grant’s plans
depended in keeping the enemy in igno
ranc of his real purpose, viz.: the surprise
and capture of Vicksburg by Sherman, and
it was therefore of the utmost importance
that every avenue of information to tho
enemy should bj closed.
The most stringent orders had previously
been published, forbidding persons going or
coming through our lines, limiting tinders 10
certain boundaries, and prohibiting tho
passage of corn South, or the payment of it
for Southern products. Persistent violations
of these orders by persons, principally of the
Jewish race, were the subject of constant
reports by many of Gen. Grant’s subordi
mites, some of whom had even issued orders
expelling them from tho lines, but which
Gon. Grant had promptly revoked. Reports
of the same character were also received
from other than military sources. At length,
on the evening of December 17, 1802 (the
date of the order), the mail brought from
Washington a large number of complaints,
officially referred to him by the General-in-
Chief ol the army, against, this class of
persons, for violations of the above men
tioned orders. The General felt, on reading
them, that some immediate action was
demanded of him. lie realized to its full
extent tin; critical condition of military
affairs, and judged, whether wisely nr
unwisely, that,, to meet the exigency, action
must bo immediate, thorough, and in a form
not to be evaded. The order you refer t,o
was the result. It was written and telegraphed
to Ills subordinates without revision, leaving
all persons not justly amenable to its terms
to be relieved on their individual appli -a
tion.
die idea that it was issued on account of
the religion of the Jews cannot he seriously
entertained by any one who knows the
General’s steadfast adherence to the prin
ciples of American liberty and religious
toleration.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
John A. ItAwr.ixs.

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME
COURT—JUNE TERM, 18(58.
McCallie k Jones, el. al., Plaintiff’s iu Error
vs. The Assignees of tho Augusta Insurance
and Banking Company.— Equity from
Richmond.
llakiiis, J.—The Augusta Insurance A
Banking Company, a corporation existing,
not having forfeited or surrendered its fran
chises, made in 18(55 a deed of assignment
to the'defendant in error for tho benefit of all
its creditors of all its property, real and per
sonal, that the assignees might proceed with
reasonable and convenient-dispatch to con
vert the same into money, and for that pur
pose to sell and dispose of any or all ol the
property in such manner and on such terms
as they may il.-cm most for the interest of
•said trust:
Held, that such an assignment, not being
prohibited by statute, is i good and valid
assignment at common law, and that there is
nothing in its provisions which brings it
within the perview of the 13th and 27th
Elizabeth-
Held further, that the creditors us assignor
are to be paid aicording to the rank or prior
ity <4 their demands at the time of the assign
ment.—Judgment iiliiruud. 15. true.-i A Ciim

Myers A Marcus, Plaintiff’s, in Error, vs.
Julius Kaufman, Defendant in Error.
Distress Warrant for Rent—City Court of
A ugusta.
Harris, J.— Plaintiffs rented a store in
Augusta to defendant for one year, payable
quarterly, for the consideration of $1,400 in
American gold coin, to be paid in sums of
three hundred and fifty dollars in American
gold coin.
Hold, that a specific contract like this
can not be discharged by the payment of
legal tender notes of a nominally equal
amount, as they are admitted to have been
in currency of less value than gold at the
time of their tender in discharge of such
special contract; hut that the plaintiffs
below, upon receiving from defendant the
actual difference iu value between tho
American gold coin which he engaged to
pay and the legal tender notes which he
offers to pay (the amount of damages to
which plaintiffs are entitled by the breach of
contract), will Iheu be bound to receive the
legal tender notes in discharge of the debt
ol the defendant fixed by the ascertainment
of plaintiff’s damages.
A party specially agreeing to pay in
bullion or coin, must do so, or answer in
damages lor its value; and so, if one agrees
to pay in depreciated paper, the tender of
that paper is a good lender, and, in default
of payment, the promisee can recover only
its market and not its nominal value.
