in the cowcatcher, and went forward to look
for it, but did not find it there. After rum

the animal struck, while oiling up, he found
it lying snugly on the frame of the forward

CARD FROM P. ]. O'CoNNELL, ESQ.

Mr.. Editor The presentment of the grand
jury of York county, where it treats of my
relations with the Catawba Indians, wrongs
me deeply. Please allow me the space OF
few lines to set myself right before the public.
Contrary to the laws of God and the laws of
the land, I have been represented by the jury
as drawing the Indians money and failing to
disburse the same or account for it. This, too,
on a mere presumption that the appropria-
tions were all drawn by me, when the contrary
is the case. But why do citizen such an in.
justice by presuming anything, when they
had the records to refer to and from which
they quoted? Every dollar Of the Indian ap-
priation drawn by me as Agent is accounted
for in my annual reports to the Comptroller
General The receipts are to be found in his
office, numbered, itemized, signed and witness.
ed, and at my last report the Indians we're
still in my debt. The Comptroller required
me to report directly to him and furnish him
with my vouchers. Will the grand jury
please examine these reports and vouchers and
do me the simple act of justice of reporting
the result of their investigation?

THE CURRENCY VETO.

We publish in another column the salient
points ofPresident Grants message disapprov-
ing the currency bill recently passed by both
houses of Congress. As will be seen from the
proceedings of Congress, the friends of the
measure are somewhat undecided as to what
course they will pursue, and by parliamenta-
ry tactics, consideration of the veto has been
postponed. It's certain that the question is
not dead. But unlike the many bills which
we're passed by strict party vote over Presl-
dent Johnson's vetoes, this question is not
confined to party, and it is probable that other
tactics will be resorted to by the friends of
the measure in preference to attempting to
pass it over the Presidents veto, which, how
ever, would require two'thirds vote in the
Senate-a majority that could hardly be OBJ
tanned.
It is stated that the advocates Of initiation
have determined to issue circular to the
country, giving, in the most captivating style,
their plan of making money plentiful, thereby
making the question the principle issue in the
approaching congressional elections, should
no action be had in the meantime Of the
Northern States, the inAationists claim to be
able to carry Pennsylvania, while they think
the States of the South and the West are
unit in favor of more currency.
Prominent Radical leaders, among them,
Gen. Butler and Cameron, Of Pennsylvania,
as we'll as majority Of the representatives
from that State, are jealous advocates of in
fation, and Butler is reported to have said
that the President shall have another oppor-
tunity to pass upon bill of similar charac-
ter to that which he has just vetoed. 1t is a
part of the willy politicians plan to attach the
provisions of the vetoed bill as an amendment
to an appropriation bill, which, should it be
done, would compel the President either to
veto an important appropriation bill or to
sign one containing clause for imitation Of
the currency.
On the other hand, those opposed to inAa-
ton, or the "hard money party" as they style
themselves, are busily engaged in their efforts

CREMATION VERSUS INHUMATION.

The subject of cremation, or the burning Of
dead bodies, instead of giving them burial,
has been recently agitated in some portions Of
Europe and, as usual with all such absurdi-
ties originating over the water, the proposed
practice has already found several professed
advocates in the United States-chieAy in the
cities of the North In New York, at least,
a cremation society has been formed, and ap-
plication made to the State Assembly for an
act ofincorporation. In Boston, Philadelphia
and other cities, the question is exciting some
attention but New York, which is now hap
PLY without great criminal sensation, is de-
voting all her energies to the question of the
hour, and, it must be confessed that should it
cause the Gothamites to turn their thoughts
seriously for one time to the subject of fu-
ture existence, it will not be without some
good results, even though their bodies should
never be sacrificed at the funeral pyre.
The principal argument in favor Of crema.
ton as against the ordinary mode Of burial,
comes from over-crowded cities and districts
of Europe, where, it is urged, the necessary
room for sepulture cannot be readily obtained
Hence, the necessity of reducing the dead
body to ashes, which can be preserved in a
smaller and less expensive vessel than a
patent metallic burial case. But this argu-
ment will hardly have force in the United
States for several generations to come, while
much can be urged against the proposed in
novation. In business point of view the in
surance journals are already taking ground
against cremation. They very clearly see that
it would utterly destroy the means of deter
mining disputed Identification. In the whole
range of medical jurisprudence, and especially
in its applications to life insurance, the Balti-
more Underwater says it knows Of no more
important element than that relative to iden-
tity. Destroy the means of Identification
through the stature, the teeth, the sex, the
hair, cicatrices, fractures, deformities, or Pc
culiarities, and what will be left for the COM
panes in every swindling case that may oc-
cur except to pay to the conspirators the
amount of their claim?
