1t is stated that General Grant expressed
himself opposed to turning men ont OF ofite
merely for opinions sake. The purpose Of
his administration will be the faithful per-
formance OF the duties of his great Office; to
see that the laws are carried out; that hon
esty aud economy prevail in the public ser.
vice, and that the officers ere capable and ef.
hcient men. If an officer in the public SER
vice has shown peculiar fitness for the posi-
tion, and evidence of his ability to perform
its functions in the highest degree Of excel
lence, with honesty OF purpose, no matter
what his political opinions may be, it would
be improper to displace that officer with one
who couldn't perform the duties any better.

also fatal poison. The woman had borne !
KoUu cn6YACteF, onu tho only reason eOol&neQ
for making this dying confession was her de-
sire to rid her conscience of this load Of
crime previous to her death. She was per-
fectly sane up to the time Of her decease.
