How 1T WAS DONE.-A Quartermaster
at Nashville was lately on trial for defal-
cation. He was loyal and denounced the
rascality of the Democrats. One import
ant fact has been developed, viz: That be

Republican National Committee, twenty
thousand dollars to be used in the last
Presidential election. Somebody got that
money, bought U. S. Bonds with it, and
now claims that he ought not to pay any

from the Government and appropriated

sryWhere in the country, Democrats Re-

now that the war is over and the slaves are

Of the elective franchise. But in his alb

JUSTICE no TRAITORS.

We publish, this week, the President
Amnesty Proclamation to the conquered
traitors. It is an important document
omanating from highest motives of justice
and is worthy ofevery loyal hearts approx
al, and every rebels close consideration
and acceptance.
He extends pardon to the great mass o.
rebels who will come forward and take The
oath Of allegiance prescribed in his prOcla-
nation. Heartily do We endorse the eIcep.
tions, which is only fourteen, but will, il
properly enforced, punish all the ringleadsrs
and desperate characters of the traitoroua
crew. Treason must be made odious,'
and traitors made examples of. If the main
instigators, supporters, and the tends who
starved our boys in southern prisons are
not punished, what is the use of Law or gov
eminent? 1t is right to be msgnanimous
to the dsludsd masses; but in justice to our
brave boys in blue, who have left friends
and home and periled their lives through
four years of terrible war, to the North,
the South, Humanity and High Heaven,
hang JEFF. Davis and all those who are as
eutrsgeously guilty.

Our Surveyor General at Work.

From the Washington special of the
Missouri Democrat, We clip the following:
GA communication was received on Mon
day at the Land Office from the Surveyor
General of Kansas, covering a contract or
dered for the survey of lands on the direct
route from Sioux city to Montana and Ida
no and the opening of a road on the routs.'
General Sleeper, since his assumption of
the duties of the Office of Surveyor General
of Kansas and Nebraska, has been very bu-
sy in developing plans and measures that
shall aid the vast amount of travel and inn
migration that is steadily moving westward.
A practical civil engineer, with broad and
comprehensive views of the capacity of the
country west of US, to sustain large popu-
alton, he will prove an efficient auxiliary to
the immigrant and to the Government. The
Office of Surveyor General under his admin
istration, will be no sinecure. We are glad
to see that he has infused into the Office a
a little of his well known energy and go
ahead Spirit. Conservative.

False Rennrts.


1t is hard matter to get correct report
of almost any event that transpires nova
days. The Times says:
Wild messages come over the telegraph,
and often such absurd reports that they won
der they are sent.
Forrest is killed, and Kirby Smith assas-
sInated-and all the details of the killing
and the assassination are given with exact
ness-and yet they live! These, and many
other wondrous AFFAIRS, are reported one day,
only to be contradicted the next.
One thing we are glad ia correct.
1t will be remembered, g report came
that Booths body had been mutilated, his
heart and head put in a medical museum.
and the remains buried in an unknown
spot. All papers received the story. Not
one contradicted It'll A brave, patriotic Ger
man, under his own signature, Julius
Browne, if we mistake not, protested against
il and he stood alone.
Now it turns out that the story was an ia
vention! The New York News started it.,
but admits that its informant knew nothing
of the matter. Government left the assas.
sins body, and the relations of Booth con-
sign it to an unknown grave.
There let it rest! All the future will re-
member tie assassin as it recalls the NAB
TYR.

NATIONAL DEBTS AND UNITED
STATES STOCKS.

The creation of national debts is not q
modern improvement, but the ability of a
great nation to provide for great debt, and
to make it the most convent and best form
ofpersonal property, is modern wonder
The debt of Great Britain was begun by
raising million sterling by loan in 1899,
and when her great contest with Lous XIV.
was terminated, the debt had reached fifty
millions. Many statesmen and economists
we're then alarmed at the great burden which
had been imposed upon the industry of the
country, but when the war of the Austrian
succession had swslled this amount to egih-
ty milliona, Macaulay says that historians
and orators pronouncedthe case to be desper-
ate. But when war again broke out, and the
national debt was rapidly carried up to one
hundred and forty millions, men of theory
and business both pronounced that the ia
tai day had csartainly arrived. David
Hume said that, although. by taxing its
energies to Che utmost. the country might
possibly live through it, the experiment
mus1 never Dc EspeateoS-eYen small IN
crease might be fatal. Granville said the
nation must sink under it unless some por-
ton of the load was borne by the American
Colonies, and the attempt to impose this
load produced The war of The revolution,
and, instead of Diminishing, added another
hundred millions 70 the burden. Again,
says Macauly, was England given over, but
again she was more prosperous than ever
before. But when at the close of her Ma
Poleonie vars in 1916. this debt had been
sWellsd up to the enormous sum of over
eight hundred millions sterling. or four
thousand three hundred million dollars. or
nearly one half the en- tire property of the
