The Last of the Line.

The line of military presidents will prob
ably end with Grant. Since the days of
Washington it has been the custom of
this nation to exalt its favorite soldiers to
civil Office. A successful general has al
ways been the idol of the people, and pop
ular admiration has often been so great
that seemingly nothing would be too much
to grant to the man who has been the
first in war, But however good may
have been the result of some OF our ex-
periments of this kind it is highly improb
bic that we shall ever again hope to see
hero of the battlefield also first in peace.
The habits of the camp are not such as
create deep respect for constitutions and
laws which, and not the gun and the sword
are the chief defenses OF popular liberty
When we behold Grant ignoring his
constitutional checks, Sheridan prone to
treat respectablecitizens as he would BAN
dts. and even the gentler and more reas-
enable Sherman prating like babe on
political questions, we are convinced Of
the fitness of the maxim "every man to
his place" 1t is likely that in the future
we shall require in our presidenta wide
knowledge of civil affairs or at least that
habitude of mind which enables one with
swift perception to grasp and solve the
problems Of State. The amount of bung.
ling under this Administration has been
fearful. At no crisis have our rulers showr
themselves equal to the occasion. Moth
ing better could be expected when an ig-
norant and brainless President was allow
ed to choose a cabinet and to make Con
gress his team. Happily this experiment
is nearly at an end, and we will then taxi
care not to repeat it.

Lebanon Democrat.
We learn from private sources that a
most horrible murder, followed by swirl
and relentless punishment, was committed
in Metcalfe county few DAYS since
The dramatis persona in the tragedy are
an old widow lady and her two daughters,
the latter of whom were murdered; a man
and his wife, who did the horrible deed,
and a wandering peddler, whose timely
presence and prompt action resulted in tie
death of the murderer and capture Of his
wife.
The story, as related by our friend, isto
the effect that the man and his wife were
visiting at the house of the old widow wo-
man, who lived not tar from the house oe~
cupied by her two daughters. 1t so hap
pened that the latter had given shelter to
peddler on the evening OF the tragedy,
there being no other man about the house.
About midnight, or shortly afterward, the
peddler was awakend by the noise Of .
door opening, and got up to see what was
the matter. On going out into the hall he
discovered a man running out of the door,
and Immediately fired at him with his re-
volyer. The man fell instantly, the ball
having passed through his head. The ped
dler rushed out of the house and found the
mans wife near, and took her in charge
until daylight. When it became light
enough to see, the peddler went out and
examined the dead man, and found him
lying on his face, with a large butcher
knife in his right hand and several hun
dred dollars clasped in his left The
knife was bloody clear from the point TO-
the handle, and the sight Of it almost
froze the blood in the peddler's VEINS
Rushing into the house and entering the
chamber occupied by the two sisters, o
horrible and most CHASTITY sight met his
vision. There lying on the bed with their
throats cut from ear to ear, were the two
ladies, covered with gore, their eyes
classy with the hues Of death, and al
ready stiff and cold. Keeling with hor-
ror, the peddler gave the alarm, and the
neighbors were soon on the spot

Proprietor
JOHN YOUNG BROWN

The letter read on Friday last by
Sen. Butler in the House Of Repre-
sentstives was written by Brown in
1861 10 the Louisville Courier. In il
he admits having declared at a public
meeting that mt one man nor one
dollar w9uld Kentucky furnish 10
Eincoln to aid him in his uRhDly
war against the South, and that If n
Northern army should attempt to
sross the borders of Kentucky, it
would be resisted to the death, and if
one man could be found in the Com
monwealth to volunteer TO join it,
he ought to be, and would be, shot
before leaving the State. Hale, of
New York, objected to the reading,
that it was a reflection on Il member
OF the House. Butler defended its
introduction on the ground that it
was from the ogiciul report made by
the election committee to the House,
and the Speaker sustained this view
of il.
