fully acquainted with our opinion of it.
We would have done everything in our
power towards securing the road, had
this not 90 soon become apparent. We
have not called Mr.. Cutler thief, a
scoundrcl, swindler, ETC., because we
do not consider that that does any good.
1t has been of no importance to Saline
county whether he was devil or an
angel. If the security had been demand
ed, as was urged, Cutler would either
have had to build the road or let it alone,
before the bonds were IN jeopardy. Such
names are more appropriate for parties
nearer home, who said that he was hon
est. reliable and ,ceH recommended. The
parties should have found
out to their satisfaction tho character of
the man before they contracted with him.
It does not look we'll for them now TO
dcnouncc the ono whom they formerly
70 deluged with:praise. II we are to take
part in any denuncistisn, we would
it our duty to denounce our
own fellow citizens who have managed
The enterprise so bungiingly, and with
apparent recklessncss A good business
man will not sntrust his pocket-book
with an entire stranger, nor give to him
the management OF his business Affairs
without some kind Vi security.

The Two Caucuses.
PETROLEUM V. Nasty.
(Which wuz Postmaster.

The Republican Congressional Caucus
passed resolution in favor of repeating
the salary bill. The Democratic or Lib
eral caucus laid similar resolution on
the table, and nominated leading advo-
cate OF the bill for Speaker The con-
trast between the action of the two par
ties is glazing, but hardly surprising,
one. 1t has ever been the same The
Republican party is always ready to bow
to the demands of the people. If the
servants are guilty of mistakes or unwise
action, they take the first opportunity to
correct the one and reverse the other
The blame consists not SO much in taking
false step rs to adhering TO ii in defiance
of the popular will. When this bill was
passed the Inter Ocean thought it most
unfortunate measure, and was the first to
express its decided disapproval. 1t did
so more in sorrow than in anger, for IL
recognized among its supporters very
many whom it could not believe were
actuated by improper motives in voting
for 1t. Confident, however, that the peo-
pie would condemn the act, we very
much regretted il, and have continued to
advocate its repeal and such restitution
as seemed possible. 1t gives us much
W llt
manner in which the Republican mem
bers Of Congress are moving to retrace
this unpopular step. Even those whose
convictions are unchanged rs to
the justice of the measure are
showing themselves true representatives
by bowling TO the popular will and frank
ly tayoring its repeal. Though hasty to
resent wrong, the American people are
among the first to forgive a fault; and we
believe this graceful acknowledging of
their sovereignty, and prompt action TO
undo what they have disapproved, will do
much toward restoring that trust and con-
fidence which should always exist be-
tween them and their representatives.
The comparison between the Republican
members, who, closely allied to the peo-
pie, feel and respect the desires and
wishes OF their constituents, and the OPP
position members, who defiantly ignore
the universal sentiment of the public, will
not be lost upon those who are watching
the proceedings at Washington with SO
much interest. Ii will convince the peo-
pie that, no matter what name the Demo-
cratic party may assume-whother Liber-
al, Anti Monopoly, Opposition, or indie
pendent--it is actuated by the same old
instincts of opposition to the will of the
majority and defiance of the popular SEN
timent of the country. Ii shows, more
over, that the Republicans are true to their
traditions, and that they are ready, no
matter what the sacrifice to themselves
may be, to act upon the principle that the
fairly.expressed will of the people should
be the law of the land.--Chtcago Inter

ilcates duplicated. In response to letter
from Senator Ferry, Of this State, con.
corning the matter, the Adjutant General
Of the United States says:
II have to inform you that before fay.
orable action can be taken in this depart
ment the soldier must furnish an affidavit
that he has made diligent search for it and
cannot recover it.
Affidavits from two or more reliable
persons, (officers Of his former command
preferable) establishing his identity, must
also be furnished.
All affidavits forwarded must have the
certificate Of the Clerk Of Court Of Rec.
ord, showing that the civil officer before
whom the oath was administered was
duly authorized to administer oaths. The
company and regiment in which the sol
dier served should be stated. Grand

ton with Mr.. Emerson, the Judge replied ::
II will tell you. If you will restore the
children TO their father and promise never
to modest him again, you can go free"
"And what if won'ts"
"Then you must suffer the penalty of
your crimer'
The Judge had hoped that the prisoner
might be induced TO give up the girls; but
his hope failed him Thinking that
another nights confinement would bring
the prisoner to terms, the Judge remanded
him to Jail to remain until the following
day. But he did not remain
In the middle of the night the jailor
was seized, bound and gagged; the Jail
broken open, and the prisoner removed.
Half an hour afterward crowd of men
appeared at the house of Mr.. Emerson,
with the prisoner in charge.
You see, we thought we would take
the law into our own hands; so we've
brought him out here, and intend to hang
him."
"But if you do that l shall never find
my children" said Mr.. Emerson.
YES you will, too! Just wait and see
if we don't make him confess Give us a
rope and we will show you"
A long rope was procured, and, tying
an end to each of the prisoners thumbs,
it was thrown over the limb of small
burr-oak near by and stretched up until
nearly his whole weight rested upon his
thumbs.
The torture was excruciating, and he
begged to be let down.
Now, will you tell ?" demanded the
leader.
Still the prisoner would not, and he
was again suspended, and it was not until
after he had promised that he was let
down. Then he gave all the particulars,
and told where the girls could be found,
adding: after you get them you'll let
me go, 'spose?"
Swift messengers were Immediately dis
patched for the stolen girls, and returned
with them early in the day. The priso-
ner in the meantime had been securely
bound and concealed in mineral hole,
and his captors returned to Galena before
daylight.
Great CONSERVATION was manifested
when the jailor was discovered, and it
was learned that the bird had flown.
And the wonder did not cease when it
was ascertained that the missing girls
had been returned.

the prisoner again took him in hand, but
this time the rope was about his neck in
stead of his thumbs.
what are you going to do?" he asked
in dismay.

Then he became frightened, and call.
ing TO Mr.. Emerson, he said, Il will tell
you where you can find the money and
watches stole when l worked here, if
you will set me free; and I'll promise
never to modest you again"
Judge Lynch and the jury heard the
proposal as well as Mr.. Emerson, and by
sundry pulls upon the rope made him
confess where the property was buried,
While Mr.. Emerson and several others
went in search of it, Judge Lynch said,
Now is good time to end this trial;

When the miner and his party returned,
there hung the prisoner-dead. Judge

Beyond the JOY we knew, the love, the pair,
Out on the dim, dark way.

Those hours and days of vanished happiness
TO sting me with them thus!
Let me forget oh, blind these eyes that look
Forever backward TO that happy past,
Behind her grave that lies
Oh, hold not up that sad pathetic book
or loves sweet records In that grave be cast
Those torturing memories.
Let me forgeti All, how can forgets
And what were life without that tender pain,
So deep, and oh, SO sad?
No; rather let these Borrowing eyes be wet
With endless useless tears, than eer again
With heartless smiles be gladl
The blast among the moaning branches grieves,
And frozen Is the laughter OF the brook
Death on the cold earth lies.
All fallen are my joys, like these glad leaves,
Through whose green haunts of song the summer
shook
Odors and melodies.
Let me begone! my thoughts are wild and hard
By grief distracted, shivered, shattered, torn
In struggles fierce and vain
And like loose strings to tones discordant Jared
Are all those sweet remembrances forlorn,
That thrill through heart and brain.

The Public Debt.

Six weeks Of legislation have brought out
nothing concerning the public debt. Reso-
buttons squirting at resistance to the
decision Of the Court of Appeals have
been considered, and there has been good
deal of scoltling Mt that high court. But
notbiug of serious and wise nature
has been done if we except the proposition
for conference with the bondholders, which
is to be looked at in several ways. and " hich
NAV be considered wise according to future
developments.
We trust that the Legislature has taken
the subject more seriously under considers
ton. and has seen the folly of wasting time
in the denunciation of the funding act. If
not, the conference will do very little good.
II the committee on the part of the Legisla-
ture only reflects the views entertained, as
we believe, by the majority, a few weeks
since, they will probably initiate the man
spoken of by Mr.. TooDLEs, who called his
creditors together and informed them that it
was not his principle to pay the interest on
his debt, and not his interest to pay the prin-
cipal. ......
But we hope there is better feeling and
clearer perception Of the situation in the
Legislature. The decision of the Court of
Appeals closes The door to any disturbance
Of the funding act so fir rs relates to all
bonds issued under it before it was repealed.
There is no getting around that save by revo-
luton. The people cannot repudiate the
acts of their Government. Whatever their
lawfully chosen representatives enact as law
they are bound to obey until declared by
the judicial department unconstitutional. 1t
matters not whether those representatives
were under corrupt influences when they
passed laws or not, those laws cannot he dis

The Prince said, "The Emperor is dead.
T:oa la Fance,'' This was most happily
conceived, and will do more to excite the
French with the old Bonaparte enthusiasm
than anything else could have done.
The feeling of the French towards the dead
Emperor was undoubtedly one Of inditfer-
ence. He had sacrificed France by blunder-
ins--by going into war he might have
avoided, wholly unprelared for it. And the
people Of France could not regard him with
any sentiment Of kindness or respect. So
that when he died they cared nothing about
him. It was timely end of man who In
Gicted the worst injuries upon his country.

nor his son, and two prominent Bonapart-
