The first result of Mr.. Hendersons S
dismissal is now seen In the postpone
ment of the St. Louis whisky trials
until next month, owing to the press
of the new appointee's sprivate business
and his lack of familiarity with the
line of prosecution. Although we
shall be we'll pleased if this shall prove
to be the only disadvantage resulting
from this swapping of horses while
crossing the stream, the delay is still
greatly. to be deplored, affording, as it
does, mischievous possibilities of
spiriting away evidence, brioing jury
men. and the exercise of other equally
scandslous methods by criminals re-
duced to desperation. We do not
know that General Babcock would
resort to such eXpedlents to secure an
acquittal, but we can very well mag
inc that one with so much at stake as
he, if guilty, would hesitate at nothing,
and the more speedily his case can be
disposed of, therefore, the greater will
be the likelihood that exact justice
will be meted out.-1tmtS.

A STORY OF THE wAu.

A SOLDIERS DYING MRssAen DELIVERED
TWELVE YEARS AFTER HE YELL AT GET
TYsBURG.
Capt. W. c. Harris, who served in the
Confederate army in the war, and who
gas taken prisoner in the Gettysburg
nght, ls spending the winter with friends
at woodhaveu, l.. l. A few evenings ago,
whlle the family were at supper, come
one CHANGED to mention the city of Os..
wego. The captain started as though
shot. That's the name Of the place"
said he yes, that's it." His friends
asked an explanation, and he told them
that while the Gettysburg fight was
waging in its greatest fury he passed
near Union Lieutenant who was wound
ed and dying, and who beckoned to him.
The captain bent over the prostrate man
and tried to catch his dying words. He
could say very little, and that in whis.
per; but he begged of the Confederate
officer that he would communicate to his
friends IN Oswego that he died bravely.
and IN hope of repentance. His name
he said, was Thorpe. The Confederate
gave MIN brandy from his flask and saw
him die. The kindly Office was the work
OF moment only, and the captain again
dipped into the battle. In q few mo-
ments he himself was wounded and
PAASCutAs OHc VI MS tekS WAS
torn off by the fragment of a shell, and
in the weeks Of suffering and imprison
ment that followed, he thought nothing
OF the incident with the dying soldier
boy. 1t was some years before he re
called the circumstance, and when he
did, the name of the place from which
the dead man hailed was gone from the
captain, and he was unabl. to after
wards recall it.
That evening Captain Harris address
ed letter, to the Mayor of the CITY of
Oswego. relating the facts, and asking
whether such a soldier had gone from
those parts. Every one in Oswego knew
brave Walter Thrope. He had enlisted
IN the regular army when only fifteen
years old, and was under General Twigg
IN Texas. Gen. Twigg went over to the
Confederates, and Walter was sent North
when Twigg's men were sent back on
parole. He served in the Eighty first,
and subsequently re-enhsted in the One
Hundred and Forty Regiment.
with which command he marched to the
field OF Gettysburg as lieutenant. None
of his friends saw him after the battle
had begun, and nobody knew whether he
was killed, or languisned in a Southern
prison, and this letter, written twelve
years afterward by the Confederate Off
Ger who ministered to him in his last mo
ments took his message and saw him die,
was the first information that faithful
wife, child, and an aged mother. had
received from him they loved so well.

STANLEY's AFRICAN EXPLORATIONS.
"A meeting OF the American Geogra-

on Monday evening. for the purpose
of discussing Mr.. Santley's explora-

Justice DAILY opened the discussion,
and spoke in the highest terms of Stan

of an American. Mr.. Bayard Taylor,
who has had considerable experience in
African travel, also spoke, accepting all
that is claimed as to Mr.. Stanley's dis

a STRIKING CoNTRAsT.-Them muni-
icpal election in Charleston, South
Carolina, in October last, was con-
Quoted :by board of commissioners,
carefully chosen, who had the entire
confidence of the people, whilst in 1873
the municipal election was conducted
by board of commissioners who had
aot the confidence of the public, and
who were reckless in their eXpendi-
lures. AS consequence there is a
striking contrast in the cost of conduct
ing the two elections, the former hav-

These figures strikingly illustrate how

counsel for defense produced the license of
defendants authorizing them to carry on
this business at the place where they stand
the hay and straw, and argued that the Dis
trict could not take advantage OF its own
mistake or wrong. After argument the court
stated that the case stands In the same reIa-
ton OF a nuisance case before the Board of
Health. The presumption was that this
stock of hay was not Kept for private use,
