Posi- MAsTER, Stanton, Va.--Dear Sir -
There was a man killed at this place yesterday,
by being run over by the cars, who claimed to
have been raised at or near Stanton, Va; also,
that he was in the Confederate army, and was
taken prisoner on the Potomac and taken North,
and afterwards released on condition that he
would go to Canada, which he did, and that he
had never been back home since the war He
was poor man, had no family here, and said
he had none He was small man, with light
hair and beard, and blue eyes, and said his
name was William Stanton, Jr. write, think
ing perhaps his relations did not know what
had become of him, and sad as his fate has
been, they would like to be advised of it He
will be decently buried to day.
Respectfully, J. G. ADAMS.

LOOKING AT TIE oTHRR SIDE,

Suppose Judge Durell had ruled differ
emily from what he did, and had upheld
the returning board presided over by
Governor Warmoth, what would have
been the indignation of the fusionists if
the Republicans had appealed to the Pres
ident, or eyen-to Congress, to set aside the
decision Then we should have had a
righteous c!amor for the integrity of the
judiciary and the rights Of the States.
The entire fusion press and forum would
have swarmed with editors and orators de-
voted to the defense of the solemn judg-
ment of an upright Judge; and if the
President had dared to intimate a design
to set aside such decision, thousand
eyes would have seen in this step the in
cipient action to the proclamation Of an
empire. Now the demand from our first
and best is that General Grant shall do
for them what they would have denounced
him as despot for doing in behalf Of his
own political friends. It is very important
III a political storm to know whose OK has
been rOred.

A YTGARTOus SUFFERER.

The Times, our most expensive vicari-
Gus sufferer, while charging enormous
rates for its substitution, has selfshly
helped to bring about considerable num-
Der Of the Affections that we have paid it
for enduring in our behalf In its abuse
of the negroes it made them the ready
instruments Of bad men. In its abuse of
the federal authorities it hardened the
hearts Of ttose who had a disposition to
deal literally by the people. And, now
that the laws of Congress have subjected
Louisiana to the supervision Of the
national administration, it adopts the
very policy that is calculated to make the
federal authorities dispute our good sense
and orderly disposition. In accusing Gen
eral Grant Of uphoIding Mr.. Pinchbacl1,
it perrerts the entire relation of the
President to our affairs, as General Grant
is not unfolding Mr. Pinchbacl1, but he
is unfolding the decree Of the Uuited
States Circuit Court, which he is bound to
do by his oath OF Office. f the President
was a despot he might Go what Mr.. Ogden
and the Times ask him to do, but as he is
an officer Of limited authority, he must
conform to his own limitations, as other
people should do 30 theirs. # MI Cg-
denis friends had respected the law IS the |
President has, they would no: now be in

Times did not suggest SO many violations
Of justice and public policy we should not |
have occasion to employ at extravagant
rates an agent to bear our punishment tor

ANOTHER Unhappy FAMILY.

The italian Parliament proposes to ex-
pei the Jesuits from Rome, and the propo-
sition has been greeted with enthusiasm
in public and in official circles. The in
ftuence of the Jesuits in Italy is some
thing similar to that Of the hide bound
Democrats in Louisiana, that they will
not do anything themselves for the adj
yaucenent of the State. and they prevent
anybody else from moving ahead. The
Liberals OF Rome do not intend to submit
to this soreheadedness. as we are COM
PEELED to do. but they propose TO pu: the
grumblers out of the city that they are in.
juring. The fusionistS of Louisiana can
sympathize with the Jesuits. and as reso-
lutiops Of Indignation are now in order.
perhaps the unhappy family in New Or.
leans vii! take an early opportunity to
commune with the unhappy family in
Rome about their common misfortunes.
