Death of Chief Defective 5aknr.

Lafayette G. Baker, the late Chief of
the Government Detective Force, died
in Philadelphia yesterday morning. 1t
is said he leaves fortune Of $500, 600.
Bmgadier General Baker was born in Stat
ford, n. Y, October Is, 1862. His
ancestor were from New England When
three years of age his father removed 70
Elba, an adjoining town, in which he re-
sided until his 18th year, when the fam
lily removed West to the then almost I'M
known wilderness of Michigan, where he
settles on the site Of Lansing, the present
capital of that state. Fornine years he as
slstedhis fatherin retaining the forest and
making a home. In 1913 he came to
New York, where he remained nearly
two years, when he removed to
Philadelphia, and was engaged in me-
chanical and mercantile pursuits. In
Philadelphia he was married December
"a, 1852, to Miss Jennie G.. Curry dauoh-
ter OF John Curry, OF Southwark. In
1853 he went to California. the
outragesof 1856 called for concerted action
on the part CT the order-loving citizens in
California, Baker was among the first to
join the Y gilence and became
prominent III his energy and devotion to
the cause. He was ever active in the
pursuit of those reckless nlarauders who
made California u place of refuge for
criminals and a terror to honest men, and
his efforts contributed very much to the
final establishment Of law and order III
the State. When these troubles were
over Baker returnd to his former occupa-
ton, in which he continued until 1851,
when he again came to New Y ork city.
W hen about to return to the Pacific.
coast the late civil war broke out and
and Col. Baker was among the first to
enter the the service OF his country, in
which service he confined until the tri-
umpE OF the Union cause. In the branch
| of the service chosen by Col. Baker he
was successful In an eminent degree.
| Entrusted as he was with the command of
the secret service, he had no pleasant or
holiday duties to perform. His connection
with terretlng out and experimenting the
assassins of the late President Lincoln is
too we'll remembered to require much
mention. promptitude and persistency
in speedily bringing the conspirators to
justice will ever live in the history of
that memorable assassination
He was during the last &c years, a mem
Der of the sons Of Temperance. On the
18th Of June, 1865, Gen. Baker tender
ed MS resignation, having previously APP
pied to the Secretary of State to be re-
leased from duty as provost Marshal OF
the War Department. After his dis
charge, Gen. Baker repaired to Phlladel-
phia. where he resided up to the time OF
his death. N l. Tribune.

Walter Lyon Esq, OF TINS place mas
brother travelling in the old world. We
give a very interesting letter received
from him last week:
Moscow, RUSSIA, June IA, 1868.
DEAR BROTHER We arrived in this
old place, from St Petersburg, day be
fore yesterday and have been looking
about US, seeing things, both ancient and
modern. The Churches, Palace and
Tower in the Kremlin are worth seeing.
In the tower are thirty-four bells of
various sizes and tones, the largest of
which weighs sixty-four tons. But there
is at the foot of this tower much larger
bell, called ''Isar Kolokol. +" This bell
fell from the Tower in 1877, when piece
was broken out of the side of it, and re-
manned buried in the ground till 1886
when it it was raised and placed on the
Pedestal-by order of the late Emperor
Nicholas-where it now is. Its weight
is 444, 900 lbs, or 222 tons. It's hight is
10 feet 3 inches; It's thickness 2 feet and
it's circumference 60 feet inches. The
Emperor of Russia has fine Palace in
the Kremlin, erected since 1872, at which
time the city was destroyed by fire TO
defeat Napoleon, which you know was
successful. There are three or four other
palaces occupied by some of the mobiles,
but the city on the whole IS rather unin-
teresting. The buildings are nearly all
light cream color, or white, many OF them
two or three stories high, The streets
are rough, being badly paved. There
are FIVE Americans residing here, but |
should not like to be the sixth. A Mr..
Williams married native Russian lady
and hasa nice family of children.
[ have now visited Rome, Naples,
Florence, Bologne, Venice, Trieste,
Vienna, St Petersburg &C., &c. There
is a great deal Of show and magnlfcence
in some-ot the European Capitals. In
Rome there is a great deal of display
made in the churches, some of which are
wonderful beyond description, head and
shoulders beyond all others. 1t Is 6l3
feet in length, the dome is 1853 feet IN
width, and hight to the top Of cross AS
feet. The sculpture and paintings are
very fine. There is statute of st. Peter
with golden toe, which the poor fanatics
90 up to and kiss-some as passlonately
as they would a husband or wife who had
long been absent, or as they would at
parting from them perhaps forever. 1t
seems as though there was earncstness
and sincerity in their religion, but much
of it looks like idol worship. 1t is about
the same thing in Russia, in the Greek
Church; the people when worshiplng
bow their heads to the floor as an act OF
alteration. [ saw one lady dressed ele-
gantly including rich diamonds, bowling
repeatedly to the floor at different periods
of the services, and of course thought 1t
all right. She was doubtless sincere
and let us hope will go to heaven
Iexpect to go back to st. Petersburg
tomorrow and stop a day or two and
then go on to Berlin, Germany, from
thence to Paris where we expect TO remain
three or four weeks, then go to London,
travel through England, Ireland and
Scotland Hope to be able to sail for
America in October.

will be paid, at the rate Of taxation
fixed by the law of 1860, by the close
of the year 1871
+ The Republican party has been IN
power in this State but FIVE years in
all. yet in that brief period it has
paid off more than half the State
debt, besides defraying the heavy ex
penses necessarily occasioned by the
war of the rebellion.
The Democratic party controlled
the State from 1876 (the date of the
arrangement with our creditors by
which they took the Wabash and Erie
Canal with its lands and other prop
erty, for one-half the debt, and twenty
year stocks for the residue) until 1861 /;
but instead of reducing the burden it
steadily grew on their hands. Not
only did the Democratic managers of
our State finances leave the bonded
debt in its entirety as a legacy to their
Republican successors, but they had
squandered a million dollars of the
school and other trust funds, thus in
creasing the debt to that extent, In
violation of law. Three hundred and
fifty thousand Of this sum had been
distracted from the tuition fund raised
by taxation for the support Of com
mon schools, all Of which has been
restored since the Inauguration of the
Republican administration in 1861.
z No party or State can show more
able or benefcent administration Of
public affairs than has marked the
rule of the Republican party in the
State Of Indiana. Our revenues have
been managed with scrupulous integ
rity and unusual economy Three
years more of Republican supremacy
will result in the extinguishment of
our State debt, which has been an
eye-sore to the people of the State for
the last thirty years, and will reduce
the taxes for State purposes to a figure
so low that their weight will scarcely
be felt by the peopIe.-IndiaHapolis

Letter or Senator Wilson on Grant
and Temperance.

WASHINGTON, March 30, 1868.


MY DEAR Sra: Tn a communica-
ton to the Anti-Sl0UeTu Standard,
you say that Senator Wilson works
for Grant, who is no Radical, and OBJ
jects to other candidates who are
Radicals, because they sometimes
drink. l am sure you do rot intend
to be unjust, but you certainly have
placed me in q false position. For
thirty-seven years / have been
pledged temperance man, and | have
striven to be faithful to a cause
my heart loves and my judgment
approves. While | have ever re-
garded intemperance to be terrible
calamity to humanity and sin against
God, / have always felt the deepest
pity and sympathy for all whose lives
were blighted by it. | know Of no
Radical whose name has been men
toned for the Presidency who gets
drunk, or to whose nomination [ have
objected because he sometimes drinks.
i have seen General Grant In the
camp, IN his Office, at his own house,
and at dinner parties where liquors
were freely used by others, but / hare
ReUer seen HIM drink eUen glass of
qCiae, nor have | ever seen him when
L had the slightest reason to think
he was In any degree under the inhu-
ence Of drink.
You say, further, that I work for
Grant, who is not a Radical. [ have
done little work for General Grant;
for it was not necessary that any one
should work for him. The Republi-
cans Of nearly every State, with great
unanimity, have pronounced for him;
but this result was not achieved by
work, but by the needs of the coHn-
try and the instincts of patriotic and
llberty-loying people. I took occasion
more than two years ago, to express
on the floor of the Senate. my convic-
ton that a patriotic and hbcrtv-lov-
ing people, betrayed by the President,
would turn to that graae soldier and
summon him to marshal them 20 vic
tory.
Thirty-two years ago fully com
mitted myself to the anti-slaverv
cause, and l have striven with voice
and vote to advance it to its final and
browning triumph. 1t was because T
was an anti slavery man, a Radical
Republican, because | believed the
cause Of equal and impartial liberty
10 be above the ambitions and
interests OF public men, because
l believed General Grant would
carry that cause to assured VIC
tory. that | turned to him as the
Presidential candidate of the Repub-
lican party. know him TO be an
honest, just, and firm man, whose
fidelity to his country and to the
equal rights Of all his countrymen
canna be questioned.
Gladly would | have welcomed the
nomination Of some Of the veteran
anti-slavery menif such nomination
could assure the success of our. cause
in the great struggle Of this year. But
the pioneer anti-slavery men have
eyer been forced BY the needs of their
struggling cause to be self-saerifcing
