STRANGE PLACE TO DIE.-The coroner
of this county, yesterday morning, held
an inquest over the dead body of a man
found on the roof of Prentiss and Dawson's
three-story brick row, on Levee street.
We did not hear what the verdict was, nor
is it important He had evidently been
dead for some weeks, and his body was
horribly mutilated by the birds that had
been fyingaround him. Who or what he
was is not known. How he got on the
roof no one can tell.
1t was strange death bed, that! In
mid air, far above the dull earth. with the
blue skyes for canopy, the stars for
watchers, and the eternal roar of the nigh
~ father Of waters for requiem, the spirit
of the stranger passed to its long home.
1t was, indeed. strange death, and yet it
was grand one. Its very solitude, its des-
olateness, gave to i. wild and sullen gran>
dure. High in air, no mortal eye could
see, no human hand could touch, no friend
ly voice could reach him. There he lay
in his solitude alone with God. In the
midst of populous city, on the banks Of
nations highway, he was alone; the last
sound that died upon his ear was the boun-
ding surge of the Mississippi, and the last
look, ere the film Of death closed his eyes,
was given to the eternal heavens, the work
and home Of God.-[vicksburg Wing.

Owe have received communication from Mr..
A. l.. Beatty, splitting forth venom at for
marks accompanying his note in our last which we
for the Presidents Message. It is a naortcr, and
throws us sky-high--in his estimation. As we
would very much dislike to give up the publication
Of the Herald, in consequence Of the public indig-
nation it has excited shall have to cry for quar-
tiers. Don't use us up, Nh. B. DON'T What will you
take to don't? But we will insert his broadside
when we hope his wrath will be appeased.

OF DIES MONIES COUNTY.

PRrsrpENrs MEssAsE.-We lay this document
before our readers to-day, with but few bret re-
marks as every reader can, after perusng 1t, form
his own opinion as to its merits. A hasty glance
over il will convince the reader of the fact that Mr..
TYLER is conscious that the late Presidential contest
in which the wings triumphed, is not IN evidence
that the people of the U. S. have, in rejecting mo-
ments, abandoned the principles of the Democratic
party and are ready to cooperate in carrying out
the measures heretofore proposed by the wing party
He doubts the permanency Of the change, and be-
trays fear of consequences if the measures the
nartv are carried out The President has not lald
before Congress any plan for the relief OF the coun
trv. In relation to National Bank he neither rec
ommens its creation, nor cites an objection to one,
in cusc bill to that effect shall be passed by Con-
rress He acknovvlcdcs that the late Bank OF the
United States was condemned Ivy the people, as well
as the deposit Of government funds in State insti-
tutions. This we admit-yet he classes the Inde-
pendent Treasury system with them, and says it has
"been condemned in a manner too plainly indicated
to admit Of doubt" Where and when he does not
choose to tell. We cannot admit that in the late
contest such decision was made. The federalists
proclaimed no principes-talk to them Of principles
and their only answers would be shout for Tip and
~. The Message is so mixed up that it is hard to
guess which side Mr.. Tyler will leap for when he is
driven from his present quarters.

1--WE understand that few wings at Burling-
ton have drawn up, and are circulating petition to
Mr.. Tyler, praying that the appointment of Mr.
johnson, as Marshal Of the Territory. be revoked,
or that citizen of that place, disappointed Office
seeker, be nominated to the Senate for the appoint
ment to take effect at the close of the extra session.
when Mr.. US present commission expires. We
cannot find words which will fully express our rep
rotation of such an ungenerous proceeding. Mr.
j. went to Washington an applicant tor the Office of
Marshal. and received commission from Gen. Har-
rison. He came home, gave bond, and has entered
know, in an unexceptionable manner. The other
went on also, but for more lucrative Office. Fail
ing in getting the office he sought he tried for 9TH
ers and failed. He came back among his friends
without office. A Burlington ofice-secker turned
away empty! and Bloomington man appointed to
the office OF Marshal: This will never do, thought
they-the idea that their petitions were laid on the
shelf by Gen. Harrison was notifying, CALLING
Something must be done for their disappointed friend
Their plan is laid-a petition is drawn up to Mr..
appointed man, and letters written to Senator's to
procure his rejection by the Senate, in the act
ing President sends in his nomination for conrma-
ton! We submit the question to the honest wings
of the Tcrrory-Is this fair lis it honorable =
The Marshal has not been sufficiently long in Office
to warrant them in charging him with incapaoty or
dishonesty. Then, upon what grounds, do you ask,
has his election been urged! The story is soon
told. No dishonesty or incompetency is alleged by
tlenl but he has sinned against the will of the par
ty, Consulting the wishes of the people, and his
own convenience, he appointed a Democratic dep
uty, This is the charge preferred against him -
Was he not right in making this appointment Let
us examine. Mr.. Hendry, his deputy, acted in that
capacity during the term of the late Marshal, is well
acquainted with the duties of the Office, the people
of the Territory, and has given general salts
faction. Then was he not the best choice the Mar
shall could have made9 Any impartial citizen will
answer in the affirmative. But this is not the only
reason why they opposed to his continuing in
office. He don't Hue in'Burkngton,! There's the
rub. Had wing of Burlington been appointed, no
matter how incompetent, how odious to the people,
not one of those who striving 20 undermine
the Marshal would have touched pen to paper to pro-
cure better onc if that better reside out of the
reach of the juno, and breathes not an atmosphere
polluted with the breath of the brawling demagogues
that nest in that place.
But enough on this subject, as we are gratified
with knowledge that the effort is confined to a
few. who, knowing the injustice of their acts, dare
not ask the assistance Of the honest who would re-
quered where they anticipate triumph.

GOn the first page Of to-day's paper will be
found the communication from Gen. Gehon, late
Marshal of the Territory, as promised in our last
In giving publicity to communication of its char
acter, we deem few words Of explanation as ne
cessaEy part, that may not be suspected Of
yielding our columns 10 unprovoked or unwarranted
casgations of character. We have seer, the article
70 which he aludes, and considered it an Improve
kcd attack upon private well as official character.
The article bears on its face the evidence that was
prompted more by wish-to crafty personal il-feel
ing than to enable the people to form correct opin-
ion of the merits or dement's of the late Marshal-
Gen. Gchons aim seems to be only to show the char
acter Of his assalan that the people may know what
estimate to place upon his statements Under these
circumstances we admit his communication.

Of the surplus due to the States"
'Boys," said uncle Sam to his sons, Mr..
Banks has about four thousand dollars of nv
money; will you take it, TO be returned when
| want it? won't charge you a cen. for the
use Of it in the mean time"
ayes, father-we1l take il, and return it
on demand"-glad to get the use Of it for
nothing.
So the old man called on Mr.. Banks for a
thousand dollars at time, and handed ii
over 10 his sons until they got $4,000 Of his
money. Mr.. Banks refused TO pay over the
fourth thousand, turned into specializing 10
cotton, lots, lands, stocks and deranging all
business, insomuch that uncle Sam could
scarcely get enough money to live upon.
"Father,' said Harry one day, 'you oue
as one thousand dollars"
"Owe you a thousand dollars! Why, boy,
you u me three thousand"
'No, by-,"says Henry, "you Oue US a
thousand. You promised to put into our
hands four thousand dollars, and you have
paid us but three. Now, old man, plank up
the fourth"
Uncle Sam started at his impudent son

thousand, instead Of giving you the fourth?'
"Damme if you don't owe us the thousand
cried Tom, Dick, and Harry, sand
you shall plank it up too. even if you have
to borrow the money!"
Why the impudent assertion that the Gov

any man is fool enough to believe such
