A WESTERN Democratic paper, in very
properly deuoupcing the authors of certain
cemetery depredations, quite justly OBJ
serves that there can be no offense against
any family or community more unnatural
than the Dissertation Of its graves. A re-

those Bourbon journals which are at pres

corpse Of the "Lost Cause" will have the
