A Glorious Record

lFrem the Leavenworth Times and Bulletin.1
The Democracy nowadays are endeav.
oring to impeach the record of the Repub.
llcan party, and make this arbitrary i'm.
peachment the basis of their appeals to
the people in favor of change of admin.
istration. But "the unterrified" will have
to present more potent reasons than their
naked say-so before they can produce any
change in the general sentiment of the
people.
The grand results achieved by the Re-
publican party stand in the past like pill
lars of fire illuminating all surroundings
with bright and patriotic light. Nor
can the record be denied. There stands
the facts, and there they will stand forever.
The following is a happy abridgement
OF the work of the past decade:
A'gigantic rebellion has been suppressed
Armies of million raised and dis
banded.
-Four millions of slaves set free.
Labor made free and honorable.
Free homesteads offered to all settlers.
The Pacific railroad built.
Universal liberty and equal civil and
political rights for the first time secured
by constitutional amendments.
The States that broke their connection
reconstructed and restored.
Texation frequently reduced. the last
reduction being eighty millions year.
The national debt greatly reduced, two
hundred millions of the reduction taking
place under the present administration.
The national credit raised at home and
abroad.
The prices of gold brought steadily
downward.
The revenues vigilantly collected and
honestly disbursed.
The perfect citizenship of all adopted
citizens for the first time perfected by set
ting the doctrine of expatriation.
The Monroe doctrine vindicated, in the
case of the French invasion of Mexico.

SUDDEN DIsAPpEARANoE OF A PENsIc

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF A PENSION
AGENT. General Lawrence, recently re-
moved from his position as Pension Agent
in New York city, left for Chicago on the
10th of March, on private business, expect
ing to be absent but week. His wife re-
ceived la letter from him stating that he would
be absent about week longer, as he was
going into the country, where, as be was
beyond the reach of the postoffice, she need
not be alarmed if she did not hear from
him. From that date no intelligence has
been received from him, save, in response
to telegram, that he had left the hotel
about the date of his letter, and since then
10 clue to his whereabouts has been OBJ
tanned.
His accounts as pension agent are repre-
sented to be correct, as far as examined
At the pension office it is stated that, after
he left, draft for $4,000 for the pay
ment of pensions was sent on from the
Treasury Department, but could not be
used without his endorsement, and some
seven or eight thousand dollars worth of
checks sent in by pensioners had to be
protested for like cause. Gen. Lawrence
wore diamond pin valued at $40O and
gold watch worth $780, 1t is also sup
posed that he had with him considerable
amount in money. There are two theories
in regard to this untoward event-violence
or, as he was subjected to disease of
the gastric juices, which produced pain,
and has on several occasions rendered him
temporarily insane, he might have died
therefrom in some obscure locality.

From the Washington Star, 14th |

The DEMONSTRATION LAST NIGHT.
The Republican ratification meeting last
night was probably the largest political
demonstration ever witnessed in this city
The gathering was not only immense in
numbers, but there was no little signif-
cance in its composition. 1t was made up
of all classes of the community; of white
and colored in about the respective pro-
portions they bear to each other in the
population Of business men, mechanics
and laborers; in fact it was a thoroughly
representative meeting of the people of
Washington. To accommodate this vast
throng there was speaking from no less
than five different stands, and the euthu-
siasm manifested reminded one of the old
Harrison and Clay times, when Washing
ton, an intensely Wing city. used to turn
out en- masse at Tippecanoe aud Mill-boy
meetings.
The succession of this same Wing element
was probably present last night, for it has
never taken kindly to the name of De-
mocracy. One thing is certain, that never
before at Republican meeting in Wash
ington was there SO many whites present,
by thousands, as on last night. A meet
ing OF this size and character settles the
issue of the campaign. 1t was larger
meeting than the great Reform party rati-
fication meeting one year ago, when that
party swept the city by about 1000 ma
jority and making an estimate from the
comparison afforded, the Republican ma
jority this year should at least equal that
of the Reform party following upon the
ratification meeting last year. But half
that will do.

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA We have from
correspondent in Florida a detailed ac-
count OF the late murder, by Ku-Klux, oil
Captain j. @. Dickinson, which we do not
use for the reason that we have published
the facts stated before. The same writer
says: "a refugee named Collins, who
left the .Confederacy and went into the
Union lines and took the oath during the
war, was killed recently at st. Andrews s
Bay, on the Gulf of Mexico, point not
far south of Mariana, where Captain
Dickinson was killed. Collins went out to
boil some salt, and was found shot and
killed. Nobody knows anything about who
did it,"
The Rutland Herald pays a generous
tribute to the memory of Captain Dickin-
son, and says:
"While Vermont shall remember her
martyred dead, the name of John @. Dick
inson will stand conspicuous among them,
and as thousands shall make pilgrimage
to his grave in the quiet hillside cemetery
of his native town, his name shall remain
a watchword for liberty and freedom of
opinion" On a former occasion, it seems,
he had narrow escape from death at the
hands of the Ku-Klux, when he wrote
these words: II wish to put on record the
fact that my political action in this State
(Florida) has been upright and honorable,
and that [ do not regret single step that
have taken, and that while many citizens
of this country have bitter political hate
for me, believe and know that not one of
them entertain personal dislike or want
of respect for me, and have no ambition
to fill more honorable grave than that of
a man who falls for the sake of opinion or
conduct that he knows is right even though
every body else thinks it wrong.n
