The Baltimore Sun lectures the Senators and
Representatives who favor imitation and tells
them "they have thrown away great oppor-
tunity by their want of consistency and ad-
herence to principle" It adds: SNOW, in
stead of being able to boast that the President
had come over to them, such Democrats as
sympathize with the President's policy win
have to 20 over to him. - Yet who can
doubt that, under whatever name, the party
of reform is and must be the party Of the fu-
ture-not the party which usurps the name
and wears the badge Of reform In order to
creep into the Offices, but the party which,
trusting more to performance than to profess
sion, shall honestly undertake . nd thoroughly
execute the work Of reform. The first step To-
wards the achievements Of such reform is that
which the President has taken The first step
towards q reformation of the Government must
be to reform the currency" ~
The meaning Of this Is thar the Republican
party is now the party Of reform and that the
Sun, as reform paper, wiz support Il. The
Sun has been SO long in the dark that we are
glad to see the light at last breaking IN upon Il.

AMONG the acts which have bean passed by
Congress at this session, there Is none perhaps
that Will give more general satisfaction In
army circles than that which restores General
William Myers, of the quartermaster's depart
ment, to his proper position and rank upon the
roster Of the army. By some misconstruction
Of law in 1856 this officer was overslaughed BY
several Of his juniors. The act In question
simply rectifles this error, and places his name
in its proper place in the Army Register. There
is no more deserving, meritorious or efficient
officer in the service than General Myers. His
disbursements during the war exceeded S110, :
000, 900, and his accounts all settled and bal
anced. BE has served with much satisfaction
as depot quartermaster at this point for some
years past, where his family are favorits mem
bers of society. His friends, while rejoicing in
this tribute of justice, hope that the promotion
consequent upon it will not result In his trans
fer to distant scenes of duty.

DEAFHeF MR.. JOHN W. DALGARN.

The Sprite JEFFERSON visits its readers
to-day in the habiliments Of mourning. Mr.
JOHN W. DALeARN, its late proprietor and
publisher, is no more. He departed this life
on Tuesday last, the 9th inst, aged 56 years
and II days, and his remains were inferred
with Masonic ceremonies at Middleway, in
this county, on Wednesday. Naturally of q
delicate constitution, he had long been q suf
fsrer from the disease which terminated in
his death, and was, therefore, not unmindful|
of the approach of the King of Terrors.-|
Yet throughout all his sufferiugs he preserved
to a remarkable degree his usual cheerfulness,
and frequently announced his readiness for
his final hour. AS a communicate of the
Presbyterian Church and in his capacity as Al
private citizen, he was ever ready to lend a
helping hand to every good object. OF some
of his other virtues it may not become us to-
speak, but there are many who can attest his
unfaltering devotion to principle and sterling
integrity Of character. whilst his genial dis
position was constantly manifested in his daily
walk through life. How much he will be
missed by the public aud in the social circle,
We leave to others to judge, but in the mourn
ing group around his own h~earthstone there
Is q vacuum that can never be flled-a vacant
chair whose occupant will never returns
loving husband and father gone to join hie
children who rest meath the shade of the trees
on the other side of the river of Death.

Resolued, That we will always remember
with great qualification the purity of his char
acter and the quiet yet genuine benevolence
#of his heart.
Reso1Ded, That as a testimonial of our APP
probation of the admirable qualities of our
deceased brother, the hall of the Lodge be
sdraped in mourning for the space of six
months, that the members of the Lodge wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

Murder IN Brooks GAP, Pendleton Co..
West Virginia.

On the morning of the 9th of Msy Mr..
JEFF. Wetzel found the dead body of a man
Jacob Yankee, (who made his escape
from the H~arrisonburg Jail some time since,
where he was confined for sheep stealing) on
|Nazlerod path, in Brooks Gap, leading from
the .ad of Germany to the South Fork, iD|
Pendleton CO., ". Va. The blood was still
flowing from a gunshot wound IN the head of
Yankee, but he Was quite dead. Mr.. Wetzel
started to . house not far distant to report
what he had seen, and IN his way met Joseph
Turner, with a doubleSbarrel shot gun on his
shonlder. Mr.. WetEeII told Turner of his
finding the dead man, aud Turner said that
he had also seen Yankee.
From the circumstance, and the known fact
that Turner and Yankee a dquarrelled in re.
gard to a boundary line of a range for cattle,
suspicion fixed upon Turner as the murderer,
aud a magistrate issued q warreut for his
arrest, which was executed Immediately.
After the arrest of Turner. the men who
had HMM charge started with him for Frank
Hin, the county seat Of Pendleton. While on
the way Turner jumped down q cliff about
twenty feet and made his escape. but Che
officers of the law are after him, with q fair
prospect for his re~cspture.

manifested at the displayed writing, which
was shortly after four o'clock torn down and

the matter thus fortunately ended withou,
a serious disturbance, which was an

The intense hatred that must have ranked
