A GREAT GENERAL DEAD.-Major
General George III. Thomas died in San
Francisco on Monday night last. At
the time of his death he was command
ing the Military Division OF the Pacific
General Thomas was born in Virginia
In 1916, and entered the army in 1910.
He was among the few noble men of
southern birth educated at the expense
of the country who refused to desert the
noble old flag in the hour of its greatest
peril He fought through the rebellion,
from its inception to its close, and the
recital of his glorious achievements III
defense of his country's liberties against
rebels and arch-traitors, forms a bright
and thrilling chapter in the history of
the great rebellion, unsurpassed in gran
deur and glory by the achievements OF
any of the great soldier chiefs. The
great chief is dead, and true men all
over the land mourn the loss of great
soldier, a patriot and true man.

The cable despatch from France about tho
dangerous Illness Of General Robert Anderson,
Of Fort Sumter fame, is almost tra8ical, in
OF climate as the means Of saving his life.
General Anderson was broken in health, II
not in heart, when he Was compelled to leave
New York = year ago. He WAS unable to pay
his very moderate expenses hero out OF the
petty iLcoue allowed him by Congress-, after
his retirement from the n1my; and he
went abroad for the purpose Of living "a
economically II possible. in some small town
of Germany Or Franco. He lost his properly
dufng the war, and though he tried hard to
get some remuneration for it from Congress-
he failed. He was greatly discouraged by this.
and also at the way in which his patriotic SER
vices at the opening Of the wat vera alighted.
Before leaving here he offered his pfiyate L.
brary for eale - means OF meeting the e1-
penses Of his family On their pss4s8e to
Europe 1here ueIe in this library many yal-
uable books Of military and scientific kind.
for which be hoped 70 obtain good prices.
But though his friends OF the presa called AZ
sention to the sale, he realized yasy little
from it, few Of the books bringing one-
quarter their cost or value. He left hare
peer man, shattered IN constitution, and
with m income 90 Hnan thst hs h4d very hard
work to cover the necessary expenses Of his
family. He has been living for some time past
u an humble way, at tho French town Of
Tours, from which We now receive reports Of
his dangerous lInesa- Il seems strange that
some Of the 1sch men Of New York, VINO havo
lately t1ised large suns Of money to keep the
families OF Stanton and Rawlins, after Stanton
and Rawlins Were dead, have not made up
patriotic fund in tie n1rne OF Robert Ande1-

The Republicans of Maino have begun
to see where the shoe pinches. In their
State Convention, held at Augusta last
week, they passed the following resolution
as part Of their platform:
"L:csoired, That while we would maintain and
preserve the sacredness Of the putllc debt Of the
Etate and nation, and favor the gratlua! payment
ot the same according to the letter and spirit OF
the contract Ee are dieo in }aror Of reduction of
the burdens NJ tr2ation, Internal and ETERNAL 80 far
as consistent with public credit and Htse regard
to all the Industrial interests Of the country, and
Ne 1ppesed to fostering branch At nd,lsry at
The e1pttse qf n,otAer, but hold that xne burdens
and the benefits should be equally distributed"
What is meant by fostering one branch
of industry at the expense Of another !:
We venture to suggest that taxing the
ship-builder for the benefit of the iron
master is one such device, and paying
bounties out Of the Treasury to reimburse
the ship-builder is another, aud taxing the
farmer for tho benefit of the sa1t-boiler, is
another, and taxing the sewing girl for the
benefit Of the thread manufacturer is an
other, and -. But the list is too long.
We leave the Hon Mr. Lynch to complete
it at his leisure.

Admitting all that General Butler says in
explanation of his course On the Roilin
White patent, his conduct is simply and
wholly wrong; and General Farnsworth,
whntever motive Butler may attribute to
him. rendered the country q service in
exposing the wrong. General Butler aa-
mits that he, first, Us Representative,
advised tho Commissioner Of Patents not
to extend the patent, rs its extension, be
thought, would be against the public
interests. Nov, having assumed once,
as a statesman, to take ground
against the extension, he had no right after
ward, as lawyer to take fee In collateral
case involving the same patent, while the
question Of renewal was still pending. He
was bound To keep his public record un-
stained by any nnputation of having been
changed In his course as public servant
by the acceptance Of fee as practising
attorney. He could not continue in his
public capacity to oppose the extension, as
his advice to the Commissioner of Patents
required him in honor to do, and, at the
Same time, in his private capacity as law
yer, work for the patentee as his retainer
bound him to do. Having once commit
ted himself by the official expression of his
opinion, he was bound, as an honorable
Lawyer. to decline the retainer, at least
wnlle he remained q member of Congress
Indeed, had he never formed or expressed
any adverse opinion upon the point, If it
was one 1haa he foresaw would come up in
Congress, he was bound to decline the fee.
And having, IN proper manner, accented
retainer, not expecting tho mntte, to come
up IN Congress, it WAS his clear duty. if
It came up, to either decline saying any,
thing or to state IN advance TINT he Ind
been retained in lawsuit collasczallS :f-
tecting the same question. In pursuing
the Opposite course, General Butler eom-
nitted a clear double violation of his duty,
both as public officer and as psiyate at
to1ney, The result was seen in the fact
that, though the House had once voted tor
an extans5on Of the patent, they voted
against overriding the Presidents veto by
ayes, II; noes, 1G8. If his clant had
paid him g., 600 for his influence as legis-
lator rather than as lawyer, his over
whelming defeat in both capacities shows
the unwisdom, Ms well as indecency, of 8
legislator acting in too many capacities at
;oucs-
Butler might, perhaps, have secured some
Bympathy on the score Of the suddenuess
Of Farnsworth's attack, if it had not been
his own custom to strike at his opponents

which Is great disappointment to the bold.
and interruptions ring of thieves who con-
trol the enterprise. The message Of the
Governor 1ecites that, at the time the State
granted aid to the amount OF s., ,ooo, 600 in
1868, the corporation had sufficient means
to complete the road to the Hudson River.
But, instead OF using the $1,000. coo
for that purpose, the managers Of
the company employed it in
stock specu1atous and for other purposes
still worse, and lost or stole, every dollar OF
It, and created deb: against the inchoate
road of $4,000, 600 besides. Thereupon,
with the State money squandered, md the

properly vetoed. He vetoed on the ground
that the State cannot continue in partner
ship with ring Of peculators who have al
ready cheated the Commonwealth cut of
i've millions, and who, undoubtedly, in
tended to rob her of the proposed eictt
mi]liona. It was, therefore, better to stand
the loss Of FIVE than thirteen fniI1ions, The
road, if completed, is OF. doubtful value to
the State, and it is very certain that it
would never pay cent in the way Of tiyi-
dends to Massachusetts. The quicker
the State gets lid of its entane-
ling alliance with these confidence operators
the better. The road was intended as q
feeder to an extension of Fisk and Gopla's
Egic Road. 1t WIS managed by the same
sort OF persons, and by the sane code Of
morals.
It is a little singular thnt, while this
sw7ndling bill which the Governor vetoed,
was before the Legislature, the Boston
press was either silent or we're advocating
it. The only hearty blows that came frpm
any quarter came from the Springfield
Republican and the Worcester Spy, which
showed up the scheme in all its deforuity,
