According to the new theory of the Re,
publicans that the Administration is "the
Government" the following assault of the
Tribune upon the War Department OF "he
Government ought not to have been
made, but as it is made, the Express, we
presume, may copy it:
"A psymas,ers clerk recently made
this proposition to capitalists Of this
city: Lend me twenty thousand dollars.
| can make fifteen per cent a month on
that amount in this way. la our office we
pay two hundred thousand dollars n month
to soldiers. The funds are not always on
hand as the pay falls due. When they are
not, | can generally purchase the soldiers
claims fifteen per cent. discount In or.
der to do it | must resign my clerkship,
but have a brother in the Office, and
through him | can learn when aud how to
invest. There i, no risks of capital, the
profits are sure, and will share them
with you.
We have this account from the person
to whom the offer was made. He indig.
nanty declined it Ms swindle Of the
basest kinda proposition to cheat the
Government and defraud the soldier
Others, however. we're less scrupulous and
the clerk speedily effected an arrangement
with a firm considered respectable. and
their joint operations are probably at this
moment in full tide of success.-N. l.

Lines ON the Death OF Willie o. Park-
hurst,


Who died at Sioux City, April 18th, 1868. Aget
10 years and 3 months.
Our dear Willie has departed,
Passed from loving friends away.
All youths early blooming pleasures
Could not make him wish to stay;
And the gem that lit the casket.
Sparkes in eternal day.
Like the glowing dew drop shaken
From the trembling aspen leaf,
He from loved ones quickly taken,
Leaves them filled with tender grief
He fell asleep in heaven to waken--
This their soothing sweet relief.
For the form now cold and lfeless,
Held spirit pure and sweet
That the Savior smiled to welcome,
And the angal hand to greet;
With crown aud palm, in robes OF wlritcness
Now he walks the rden street.
Oh. how tenderly they watched him
When disease was raging high
Who can tell the mothers anguish
Thus to see hec darling die
And lis brothers, how they II miss him,
And how off the tears will flow;
Though he cannot come to cheer them,
They to him may ore day go.
For dear Willie sought the Savior,
And he could not seek in vain,
So the budding flower that withercd,
Withsred butte bloom again
In the ,erdant fields elysian,
Where there comes nc death or pain
And we know that Jesns loved him,
He who once passed through the grave
And to purer soil transferred him
That the crystal waters lave;
Shall wd not with Willie praise him
For his wonderous power to save'
Willie is ut home with Jesus
Waiting or each faithful friend,
With their tots and sorrows ended
They to him will soon Ascend
Oh. how blcst will be that meeting
That will usvev, never end.

''sTAR OF THE WEsr."-This large and
elegant boat, built by Peck & Masters for
Sheldon Pease Esq, is rapidly being com
pleted. Her upper works and furniture are
to be taken from the steamer Western Me-
tropolis, now at Buffalo. They viii arrive as
soon as propeller can get through the ice to
bring them. The Star Of the West will ply
between Buffalo and Chicago, carrying pas
sengers and freight. Her accommodations
for passengers will be both ample and ele-
CANT. On board of her one will recall the
days of gorgeous steamboating. Tho Cap
tain is not yet chosen, but We hear that
Captain VIM. Pease, one of the oldest and
most popular of Lake Captains, will have
command. The boat will be the largest pro-
peller, except the WinslOw propeller, on the
Lakes The latter is five tons more capacity
than the Star of the West, although the Star
is the longest.

suPersede steel pens wherever they are in
troduced. We have given them fair trial,
and pronounce them superior to any pens
that We have ever used, except the finest

initiated eighty in one night. They are
arming themselves as fast as possible. =
Men who are not able TO pay their debts
are buying revOlEers. We know their
leaders and most of their dupes. What
the result will be God only knows
What does this general arming portend
To what must it lead 2 What do the di-
rectors Of the movement intend it to lead
to Men do not buy arms and turn out
in parties Of fifty to two hundred, at q
moments notice, for nothing. There is
deadly mischief in il, which nothing bat
the prompt preparation and organization
Of loyal citizens can avert. The danger Of
collision at home is not past. On the con-
trary, it is greater now than it has ever
been, for the K. G. C's are more fully
armed, and are showing, as in Rush and
Morgan counties, more evident desire to
provoke it.

A CONDUCTOR KILLED.-Hal. B. Miner,
conductor in the employ of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad Company, was instantly killed
on Friday. A heavy freight train was ex-
pected to arrive from the south, and Miner
was sent with an engine to meet the train
and assist it. As the telegraph wire was not
in working order, it was a matter of uncer-
tainty where the train would be met, and ac-
cOrdingIy the engine cautiously proceeded at
the rate Of about fifteen miles an hour. When
about two miles from Monce Station, and
thirty miles from Chicago, an axle from the
tender broke. Miner stepped from the loco
motive to the tender, and just at that instant
the latter was thrown from the track, carry
ing the unfortunate man down an embank-
ment of thirty feet and crushing him to
death. The deceased was an unmarried
man, whose parents reside in East Townsend,
Ohio.

A ships ehrOnOmeter, taken some time
since from a vessel that was caught while
attempting TO run the Southern blockade,
was given up by the United States author
ities to a claimant who denied completely
with any illegal attempts. ApriYste mark
was, however, placed upon it. Very soon
another vessel was caught trying 10 run
the blockade, and on her was found the
same marked ehrOnometer which was
again given up to a claimant. A third,
and finally fourth time this marked chro-
nometer was taken out Of q vessel trying
TO run the blockade, but this last time
seems to have tired out the patience of the
patient Uncle Sam, and the ehronometer
is cOnfscated. The kindly treatment of
this case illustrates the forbearanee Of our
Government towards It's deadly foes
