Stanton has at last been kicked out of the War Office and is at large upon the country, while his successor, Gen. Schofield, occupies his place. The Senate would not confirm Gen. Schofields nomination without showing its impotent malice and petty spite, benco it adopted the following preamble and resolution Whereas, Tho order of tho President removing Secretary Stanton from office was unconstitutional and illegal, hut on account of Mr. Stanton Laving on Tuesday relinquished said office; tbereforo Resolved That tho senate advise and consent to the appointment of Gen.

Schofield. Wo do not know thnt Johnson has placed the War Office in better hand: than it was before. Tho country has grave doubts on the subject. Why did he not appoint a Democrat and a man who thoroughly endorsed his policy? We fear he has caught another Tartar. Delegates: Thomas II.

June 5, l8G8-no4S Ox Monday on exciting municipal election took place in Washington City. The Democrats routed the enemy in his stronghold and elected their mayor by a majority of about 1.000, in a poll of otcs reaching 18,000. Good for Washington. Aaiono tho rose trees of our new territory of Alaska, its richness in fossi ivory is not tho least in importance, Several localities are known to abound in this substance tho tusks ot the mammoth; or hairy fossil elephant The ivory of which theso are composed is of fine quality, and for many purposes, equal, if not superior, to that of tho elephants. This substance is, however, better known as a product of Siberia, where trndo in it has teen svJ uu fwi lu gJo of cai'8.

Tlio tusks obtained weigh from 100 to 450 pounds, becoming smaller to the northward, but increasing in' number at tho same time so as to excite the profound-est astonishment. Tho surface of the' ground of one of the Lacliow islands is said to ho completely covered with mimmotb bones. Tusks havo been brought thence for hundreds of years without apparently reducing the supply in the least. About, 40, 000 pounds are collected annually in New Siberia, representing at least 800 mammoths, so that in the 200 years of trade with that country the tusks of 60,000 aDi-mals must have been collected. 1 Some of the tusks are so large as to render impossible to remove them except in pieces.

They are found lying either on tho. surface of the ground or beneath it, sometimes buried in tho bogs, or beapod up along the mouths of tlie rivers, covered with sand, or frozen in clifls by the sea. Entire skeletons occur, sometimes at others aggregated, as if an entire herd had been suddenly destroyed. The country in many places, is said to resemble, with, its skeletons and bones, somb vast battle field. Ex- to 40 50 ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE.

JULIA ADKINS, May 15, lSd8-no45- Administratrix. Tho New York Post (Republican. referring to the vote on impeachment, says The only disgraceful vote cast on Saturday was that of Mr. Wade, svho, with a reckless abandonment of decency and propriety, voted for conviction, and his own elevation to the Presidency, when it was believed by himself and the oilier supporters of impeachment that conviction would be obtained by only a single vote. We shall be surprised if Mr.

Wades course in this matter does not drive him out of public life it has certainly lost him the respect and confidence of all impartial minds. The Wav.
