THE UNITED BTATEB SENATE PASSES
A BILL PROVIDING FOR HIS RE
TIREMENT (?) WITH THE
FULL PAY OF GENER
AL IN CHIEF.
The following from the proceed
ings of the United St.-Ucs Senate
on Jannury 14th, will interest our
readers as illustrating the case
with which plausible reasons may
be given for an act which seems
to be far less • illustrative
of republican simplicity than
of the custom under tlie monarch
ies of Europa,, where the members
of the royal families are supported
at public expense.
Edmunds, calling Frye to the
chair, took the floor and called up
the. bill yesterday offered by him,
providing that the president may
appoint to the retired list one per
son whe has occupied the position
of general, commanding any of the
armies of the United States, or
general-in chief of the United
States army. He moved to amend
it by adding “with the rank’s full
pay of such general or general in
chief, as the ease may be.”
The amendment was agreed to.
Cockrell desired to record his
vote against tiie bill, not knowing
whether the yeas and nays would
he called on it. The retired list
was not the place for private citi
zens. It had been created for of
ficers who, being still in service
had been rendered unfit for duty.
There was neither justice or pro
priety in placing private citizens
on such lift. Gen. Grant was now
enjoying the receipt of 5i5,000 a
year, which was enough for the
support of any American citizen.
Edmunds said he concurred in
the general principle laid down by
Cockrell as to the retired list, that
it was not the place for private
citizens. He (Edmunds) was on
that point the democrat of demo
crats, but as a senator and citizen
he was glad of an opportuniy to
ask the passage of this bill. Gen.
Grant had served his country faith
fully and gallantly in the Mexican
war while a young lieutenant. He
became general of the armies of
the United States on an occasion
of very considerable importance
and interest. Edmunds was sta
ting it mildly in order not to excite
the temperaments of anybody on
the other side of the chamber. Gen.
Grant bad been removed from the
office of general of the United
States, from which he would have
been retired when lie reached the
proper age and put on this very
list, to assume again command of
the armies of the United States as
commandcr-.in-uhief under its con
stitution. He had not sought it.
He had obeyed the call of duty
that removed him from the techni
paj place |je lipid in the army to
the higher place as constitutional
commander of the armies of the
United States. I’ndpr the law,
when his term expired he became
a private citizen. In that state of
the case and under the circumstan
ces which all know and in view of
the honor, respect, gratitude and
duty that we may owe him as pri
mus and illustrious in the history
of this country, Edmunds would
be glad to have a unanimous vote
for the bill
•Maxct’Jiad heretofore opposed
efforts of this character, being op
posed to placing private citizens on
[he petired list, but thg circiim
gtanpes of this case W'cre excpptioii
tional. As a southern man who
had opposed the course of Gen.
Grant, he (Maxey) could not but
recognize that when the supreme
hour came to the southern states
when they had to ymld all save
their honor, no man hac| ever act
ed with more magnanimity and
generosity than did Ulysses 8.
Hp|nt at Appomattox. Not only
did Maxey remember that fact but
the people among whom he lived

remembered it, and he did not be
lieve there was to-day a man in the
south who would begrudge r res
pectable and fair support for Gen.
Grant in his dedining years. Max
ey added that he had known Gen.
Grant for forty years and believed
that his recent troubles arose en
tirely from General Grant’s Su
preme confidence in friends.
Gibson «aid that while the form
of the bill might not commend it’
self to his judgment, its object did.
He sympatized with the people of
the country who desired to testify
thsir Appreciation of Gen. Grant’s
services. As a senatoi from Loui
sina he felt it incumbent upon him
to vote for the bill to show the
good will and sympathy of that
state for Gen. Grant.
George said he was here as a
member from Mississippi in ♦*--
restored being com-
missioned by hia pceplc to come
heie, he had made a covenant
with himself that in his votes in
the senate on all questions that
dio not effect the honor of his peo
ple, he would vote exactly as if he
had worn the federal instead of
the confederate uniform. He be
lieved the people desired the pas
sage of the proposed measure.
Jonas said he had opposed a
similar measure when proposed
sjrne years ago, because he had
not approved certain acts of Gen.
Grant’s administration and because
Gen. Grant did not then need aid.
Under the present circumstances of
the General, however, he favored
the bill.
Voorhees said that Cockrell’s
reference to Gen. Grant’s income
might create a misapprehension in
the popular mind. When the
guaranteed term should expire six
years hence the investment of the
fund would prove of little value.
\ oorhees added, that if he were a
southern man he would strongly
favour this measure. He recalled
the fact that Secretary Staunton
wanted to arrest and imprison Gen.
Robert E. Lee after the surrender
at Appomattox, and that Gen.
Grant had told Staunton that Lee
was his (Grant’s) paraleed priso
ner and a hair of his head should
not be molested He remembeied
also Gen. Grant’s fearless acknowl
edgement of his error in the Fitz
John Porter matter.
The bill was then read the third
time and passed—yeas 49, nays 9.
Those voting nay were Beck Cock,
rell, Coke, Harris, Pendleton,
Saulsbury, Slater, Vance and
Walker.
THE LIME KILN CLUB
“If Brndder Shindig Watkins
am in de hall to-night he will
please step dis way,” said Brother
Gardner, as everybody except Brd-
Rock Taylor drew in his feet and
ceased coughing.
Brother Watkins had jammed
himself into the northwest corner
and was rubbing down a bunion
with a fragment of grindstone, but
he slipped on his shoes and made
his to the President’s desk
with a look of keen expectancy on
his face.
“Brndder Watkins,” continued
the President, “about a y’ar ago

STILL EXPERIMENTING.
Subsoil Lynch, Chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture, report
ed that his committee had been at
work for several weeks past to dis
cover away to make potatoes avail
able after having once been frozen.
The experiment of placing them
in hot water to draw the frost out
did not give general satisfaction.—
They had been soaked in kerosene,
bnt this plan proved too costly.—
When subjected to steam heat the
water was not all drawn out. A
covering of heated sand had prov
ed very satisfactory, 1 ut the annoy
ance was too great. The commit
tee had about dccid cd that the best
way to make froz <n potatoes avails
able was to send them to an or
phan asylum, but wonld like time

Wahoo Larkins, Secretary of the
“Hoary Headed Colored Senators”
of Shelbyville, Tenn., made official
application to have the society in

NUT BY THAT NAME.
The Secretary then read the fol
lowing communicatoin from Ada
Minn :
Bro. Gardner:
Dear Sir—Your honorable in

and philosophy, we respectfully
ask your permission to start a
branch lodge here in this place to
be known as “The Hencoop Ma

would give us a splendid opportu
nity of cultivating our minds.—
Please let us know how much it
wonld cost us to start on a new
charter. Our finances are some
what low, but by combined efforts
we might succeed in raising some

have anything warranted to grow
new hair in from two to six weeks’
time we will send down shingles

Jurisi Rudence Joshsing.
Brother Gardner replied that he
could not entertain any proposition
to adnrt a society under such name.
If it wanted to call itself “The
Hencoop,” or “The Manipulators,”
it would be all right, bnt so long
as he realized that even the sight
of chicken was distasteful to color
ed people, ho could not permit any
fling at the race by incorporating
a society which seemingly manipu- 3
lated hens of all sizes and ages.
Waydown Bebce then recited a
poem entitled : Where will my cow
be a hundred years hence ?” and
the meeting adjourned.
An Oidinary Killed.
Blakely Ga, Januray 13.
[Special]—Our usually quiet and
peaceable little town was thrown
into the most intense excitement
this p. in., at 6:30 by the’killing of
Judge J B Jones, onr recently
elected ordinary, by Mr. R W Da
vis, a son-in-law of Colonel BH.
Robinson. It seems that early in
the evening Mr. Davis had driven
over from Arlington, with a pair
of horses, and had them put in Mr.
E L Fryer’s stables, adjoining
Judge Jone’s stables, and by some
means one of the horses— a stal
lion—had gotten out of Mr Fry
er’s stable, and was taken by Judge
Jones and put in his. This all oc
curred without Mr. Davis’s knowl.
edge. Mr Davis sent a negro boy
up later after his horses, when he
(Jones) was quite abusing to the
boy, telling him when Mr. Davis
sent hi«n a dollar he could get his
horse, and perhaps telling the ne
gro that the same language used to
him was also intended for Davis.
Hearing of this Mr, Davis walked
over fram the hotel to-night to
Henderson Bro’s, store,where judge
Jones and Mr E L Fryer were sit
ting, and asked Mr. Fryer what
was the reason the boy didn’t get
hia horses when he sent for them.
Joqes spoke and said “by G-d/’
because he wouldn’t let him have
them, and asked Davis if he wan
ted to take up for the negro. Mr.
Davjs replied that he sent the boy
to Mr Fryer’s, where he had left
his horses, and wanted to know
what he (Jones) had to do with
them, and that he did propose to
protect the boy in what was right,
when Jones started to him with an
open knife, and Davis fired on
him twice, missing him both shots.
Jones spoke and said:
“Dick yon are a poor shot.”
Davis replied:
“Judge I didn’t shoot to hit you.
I dun't want to J\ill, bqt yoq mast
n’t yaune any farther now, for 1
will certainly kill you.”
Jones still advanced, when
yis shot the third time, killing him
almost instantly.
The affair is deeply regretted by
our entire community, particularly
so on account of the high social
position each party held in the
town. There is yet to hear of one
single man who can attach any
blame to Mr. Davis, and the cor
oner's jury, who are now investi
gating the will undoqbtly
yptqrn a verdict of justifiable homi
cide. A call on Mr. Davis, but a
few minutes since, found him per
fectly cool and composed, and
though he regretted the killing he
felt he had acted solely in self de
fense.—Constitution.
A a Anecdote of Admiral Foote.
From an article on Admiral
Foote and the Gnn-boata, by James
B. Eads, in the January Century,
we quote the following : “In the
■ railway train a gentleman who sat
■ in front of me, learning that I bad
' constructed Foote’s vessels, intro
duced himself as Judge Foote, of
Cleveland, a brother of the Admi
ral. Am< ng other interesting mat
ters, be related an anecdote of one
of his little daughters who was just
learning to read. After the cap
ture of Fort Henry the eqandron
was brought to Cairo for repairs
and, on the Sunday following, the
crews, with their gallant flag-offi
cer, attended one of the pl*"- 1 -
- Foote was a
thorough Christian gentleman and
excellent impromptu speaker.—
Upon this occasion after the con
gregation had assembled, some one
whispered to him that the minister
was ill and would be unable to of
ficiate ; whereupon the Admiral
went up into the pulpit himself,
and after the usual prayer and
hymn, he selected as the text John
xiv. i, ‘Let not your heart be
troubled :ye beleive in God, be
lieve also in me.’ Upon this text
he delivered what was declared to
be an excellent sermon, or exhor
tation, after which he dimissed the
congregation. An account of the
sermon was widely published in the
papers at the time, and came into
the hands of the little neice just 1
referred to. After she had read
it, she exclaimed to her father : 1
“ ‘Uncle Foote did not say that f
right. *
“ ‘Say what right ?’ asked the
father. ' 1
“ ‘Why, when he preached.’ r
“ ‘What did he say ?’ €
“ ‘He said, “Let not your heart c
be troubled: yc believe in God, be- c
licve also in me.’ ” 1
“ ‘Well, what should he have
said ?’ inquired the father. f
“ ‘Well, he ought to have said, 1
“Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe also in the gun boats.’ ” E
v
He Settled. H
“Dat’s what yc git from foolin’

joined a group of colored idlers on
the market place.
Being asked why he had been to
see a lawyer, he explained:
“You know dat Buck Williams!
Powerful bad nigger he am. Gits
drunk an’ kicks in doahs an’ clubs
winders. Come round to my cab
in one night las’ week an’ stove de
doah in an’ wanted to clean out de
shanty. I falls out o’ bed an’
goes fur him wid an ax handle, an’
dey war’ gwine to ’rest me fnr
’sault wid intent to kill.”
“Well?”
“Wall, when dey tole me dat he
had a cracked head, a broken arm,
an’ war all broke up, I .wanted to
settle de case. My ole woman
coaxed me to go an’ sec a lawyer,
an’ de lawyer taxed me $5 an’ ad
vised me to offer Buck my ole boss
an’ wagin’ an’ $25 in cash.”
“And you did?”
“An’ I didn’t! I got
home his wife was dar 5 waitin’ fur
me, and she said if I didn’t han’
ober $2 in cash an’ a sack o’ flour
she’d mutilate me wid a lawsuit

me just seventeen ticks of de clock
to settle on dat basis, an’ now I

to tell me dat I mils’ reduce my

A game of Billiards.
Two Austin men, who were very
good friends, and whom we shall
call Bill and Tom, played a game
of billiards yesterday. Bill is a
first-class player, but he encoura
ged Tom to win by purposely play
ing a poor game. Tom is not much
of a plajer, but he only had a few
points to make to win when Bill
took off his coat, went to work in
earnest, and ran ont, much to the
disgust of Tom. When Bill went
to resume his coat lo and behold;
it was gone.
“What’s become of my coat?”
‘,Just as von
r v.’ivß, ana ran out, a stranger
picked up your coat and ran out,
too,” answered Tom, grinning.
“Why didn't yon stop him?”
“Why should I stop him? He
didn't interfere in your game when
you ran out, why should I inter
sere with him when he ran not
with your coat. He let you make
your points, why shouldn’t I let
him make his points. The stran
ger let you beat me, why shouldn’t
I let him beat you out of your coat
particularly as he got his cue from
yon.”—Texas Siftings.
A SVOMAJUS STRATEGEM.
A young girl and <• elderly wo
man entered a street car to gether.
The girl's eyes were stumming in
tears which soon refused to stay
within the prescribed limit, yet the
thought of letting all these stran
gers see her weep was even bitterer
than the sorrow that had started
her weeping. The elder woman
looked troubled, but she had stron
ger nerves. She whispered to her
companion: “Hold your handker
chief, to one eye all the time, then
everybody will think that your eye
not your heart has been hurt.
The young girl acted on the sug
gestion without i eplying. She held
the handkerchief in a wad over
her right eye, as though it could
not bear the light, and continued to
weep without attracting attention.
The other passengers saw nothing
but a woman with a disabled eye,
and after a glance or two ceased to
look at her. The writer was
struck with the wisdom of the sad
little strategem. A wound in the
eye was not a thing to be ashamed
of. It excited no morbid curiosity
or humiliating pity; but a wound
on the soul must be hidden.
THE TWO* NEIGHBORS.
A citizen having- heard that his
neighbor was scandalizing him
called around at the office for an
explanation.
“Ilavent I always spoken well
of you and yours,” he asked.
“Oh, yes.”
“Havent I lent you my snow
shovel, my flat irons and my coffee
mill for these many years past?”
“Yes, but—”
“But what! What on earth could
have induced you to throw out
hints that my aunt was my uncle?”
‘ Why, my Dear Sir; your snow
shovel is broken, your flat-irons
too old to be of further use, and
your coffee mill will no longer
grind. How can I longer neigh—
with such a man?”
moral:
When you cant live off a neigh
bor make him sorry for it.
FOLLOWING THE PATTERN.
—e was from Boston, and told
her that Boston set the pattern [in
almost everything for all other
cities in the Union.
“To change the subject,” he
said, “isn’t it strange that of all
the infernal machines sent to people
nowadays not one ever goes off?”
She suppressed a yawn and re
plied: “They probably follow the
pattern of Boston young men.”
Ho went off as soon as he could
get into his o.vercoat and hat.
SHOPPING, MERELY.
“You must be selling a great
many goods, now,” remarked Mc-
Swilligen to a Seneca street mer
chant.
“Why so?’’ asked the merchant.
I sec so many ladies in your
store.”
“Oh they are not buying, more’s
the pity,” said the merchant.
“What are they doing then?”
“Shopping, merely.”—Detroit
