OF MISSOURI.


Of Deceased S,ldiors, No. 8.
We continue this subject BY re
quest. The other day, in looking over
the appropriation bill passed by Con-
gress, VIC were struck with tho item Of
nineteen millions Of dollars for pen
sions. We thought of our glorious
dead, and sighed, Alas! no pensions
for our brave men No Government
assistance to their widows and Mcir
orphans! But shall wc do notAjny for
them! it is time, it is full time to
begin. They should not be left sim,
ply TO private charities.
Private charity will continue its
blessed work, wcrc there Il thousand So
cictics to assist these orphans. a so
cicty can only reach a portion Of those
that need help. And when it has
done all that it can do, private friends
and private charity can take up the
good work where Il society must nc
cossarily leave of, and carry it on to
perfection, 1t is true, too, in works
Of bcncvolcncc, that the moro we do,
thc more We arc inclined to do. and
by ahcauiiful arrangement Of Proyi-
lcncc, the moro we arc invariabl y
enabled to perform.
There are, too, solemn public du-
tics that no man or woman should
shirk, duties that should be perform
cd in public anu with imposing solcm-
nifty. Such duty is the one wo have
50 long dcforrcd--tho duty Of publicly
providing Tor tho children Of those
who gave their lives 1or Il uunnu.,
cause. We arc not sure that VIC make
the point Of our argument clear. We
mean, that as q SocjcW we owo this
duty to these children, and that only
dy Soctul and pWbitc combinution can ,cc
propc"y pcrforn At. 1t is due to their
memory that the entire population
should gather around their graves,
and plodgc itself, without reservation
or quibblc, to take charge Of, sustain
protect and help, in every possible
practicable way, the orphans these he.

III behalf OF the Democratic nominees. The
letter OF Governor Seymour has gwen
more positive tone to the councils of tho
Democratic committees and the discovery
which the Radical clamor has made patent
that nothing but Democratic success is nc.
ocssary to ovcrturn the carpet bag "govern-

calm and cheerful spirit to the Democratic
masses, which is having good effect. It is
pleasant to discover that nothing is renu;r-
ed but to withdraw the bayohcts upon
which Bullock's government rests to have Il
come down ratLling about his ears. With n
Democratic President and majority of both
Houses i'll Congress, it will be as idle TO

Will GRANT WITHDRAW ?-It is rumored
that Genera! Grant, having failed to excite
any enthusiasm for tho Radical ticket, will
either withdraw Of his own accord from the
contest or be withdrawn, will he ? will. he :?
In case Of his retirement, the name of Con
Sherman will be put forward If Grant can
not save Radcalism, Tecumsch Sherman is
powcrlcss to rescue it. The people arc de-
termincd 10 hc rid Of the incubus, and if
Sherman thinks differently, let the Congress

Chief Justice Chase has been coouatt;no
withhis ancient crones, Of latr. Perhaps,
he snufs tho change of leaders from afar

than he promised Democracy.

On Sunday, German named Henry Voet
from Springfield, and formerly of Della
ware, came to the city and called at his
friend, Frederick Furkopp's house, on
South street. 4 He drank nothing but beer
on Sunday and but little of that. E ESt /
On Monday afternoon, about 8 O'Clock,
he went into Furkopp's store, on Fourth
street, and there 1t was discovered he was
insane. He began to tear his clothing, and
in wild and disconnected manner told
that lot of boys were after him to rob
him. He left there and went on to the
street. His insane actions attracted the at
.tention of all who met him. and at late
hour Monday night officer Trainor fearing
he would commit some injury, locked him
up for safe keeping, intending to hand him
over to his friends yesterday.
About six o'clock. yesterday morning,
several officers were in the calaboose, and
Voet was on his knees, his head upon the
bench and bis suspenders lying beside him.
When asked what he was doing, he replied,
"Praying." At twenty minutes after,
John Hartman, the calaboose- keeper, found
him suspended to the top of the cell by his
suspenders. He was instantly cut down,
and every effort made to restore him, but
without avail.
,Voet was man apparently. Of, about 40
years of age, with black hair and heavy,
black chin whiskers. He leaves wife and
family in Springfield He had on his per-
son check. on Hayden, Hutcheson 6 Co.
for $3.50 and small sum OF money. His
insanity is thought to have caused his un-
timely end.

siPpi Affairs.
/ WASHINGTON, July 81.
( General Gillem has submitted to General
Grant a report of his action as regards the
condition of Mississippi under the recon-
struction acts. He states that the result of
the late election for the Constitution was
56,231; against it 63,S60. General Gillem
says: As is generally the case in elections,
fraud is charged by both parties. All re-
ports and complaints bearing on the SUBJ
ject are herewith transmitted for consider
alton of the proper authorities, merely re-
marking that 1 am satisfied the election
was as fair and free from intimidation or
influence of fraud as it would be possible
to b, under existing circumstances, and
that no undue influence was exercised at
the polls. 1t intimidation was used at all
it was beyond the power of the military to
reach it, and as the defeat of the Constitu-
ton renders it possible the State may for
time remain under military control, 1
consider it my duty to call attention
to the almost impossibility of
finding persons to fill vacancies in
civil offices who possess the necessary at
tainment and can qualify under existing
laws. would therefore recommend sec
ton Q of the act of July 10, 1867, be so mod
ified as to render eligible to office persons
on the list of registered and qualified voters
to fill vacancies which exist or may occur
in civil offices, state or municipal. 5s.--1 q
