If elected to the Office of President of the
United States, it will be my endeavor to
administer all the laws in good faith, with
economy, and with the view of giving peace,
quiet, and protection everywhere. In
times like the present it is impossible, or at
least eminently improper, to lay down a
policy to be adhered to, right or wrong

WASHINGTON, Juno THE Quartermas
ter General has just published list o.

soldiers who died in rebel prisons during
the war, being the roll of honor No a.
This record contains the names Of about
twelve hundred Union prisoners, or all
which could be obtained, not published in
previous rolls of honor. From many
, Southern prisons no rolls have been OBJ
tanned, they having been destroyed OF
secreted by keepers at the close Of the war
The rolls received were at best very ineom
plete, for which reason the cause Of death
appears for only about one half Of the
number deceased

Kentucky MObs.

The Frankfort COMMONWEALTH draws the follow
ing picture Of the lynch law spirit in Kentucky.
We commend it as an excellent study Of what Is
called Conservatism:
MuRDER-On Sunday night last man named
Samuel Davis, Jrr who was confined IL the Mercer
county Jail a charge Of counterfeiting, was taken
therefrom by a body OF Regulators" said TO be
suppressed by Col Wolford,) and hung short dis
tance from Harrodsburg, on the Lexington turn
pike This man Davis was at one time in the Fed
eral army. number Of other prisoners in the
Jail, on charge Of murder, etc, were not disturbed.
/" Regulators have. for some time past, been ope-
rating in Mercer, Lincoln and Garrsrd counties,
whipping men for various alleged ofenses, and 9TH
erwise executing such extra Judicial punishment as
seemed to them agreeable.
Such is the nature Of the administration under
which we now live that such things OCCUR under the
very nose Of Gov. Stevenson, and the perpetrators
are undisturbed And so they viii continue until
aw-executing executive is put in the Office he now
holds. It IS useless to say it can't ba helped. II
