POST MORTBM ATTENTIONS.

A large number of the Democratic pa
pers which never had kind word for the
late Vice President Wilson during all the
years in which he was achieving his great
renown, nothing but coarse abuse and
falsehood to offer by way of assisting him
in his career, are now very much dissatis-
fed with the treatment he received at the
time of his death and afterward until the
body was buried The positive assurance
from perfectly credible men that Mr.. Will
son received every attention that friend
ship and ample means could afford, and
that his dying hours were solaced by the
presence Of devoted friends, who were un-
firing in their good offices. goes for
nothing. There was an autopsy, as there
was when Culver, Napoleon, Webster and
other remarkable men died, and the little
partisan minds Of the Democracy can only
see in it "a disgusting scene," which it sis
painful to read of even in the history Of
princes, " whose taking off is liable to the
traditional suspicion. We have no special
defense to make in behalf of those who
permitted the autopsy, nor of the surgeons
who performed it. 1t is very common
occurrence after deaths which have at
tracted the attention of medical men, and
is not usually condemned by the average
thinker, however humane he may be or
suppose himself to be. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the autopsy is asked for by the
friends of the deceased as means of
affording them the assurance that no duty
was neglected, no remedial measures left
unemployed which might have alleviated
suffering or prolonged life. There was
nothing unusual or improper about the
post norton examination; but a re-
porter of the Washington Star, who
happened to be destitute of good sense,
mistook the signs Of precaution in the
room for evidences of neglect, and made
distorted report Of the scence, which
constituted the sensation of one edition,
gave his employers few extra nickels,
and set the Democratic organs to groaning
over the unhappy fate of one whom they
had delighted to belabor in the flesh.
Like the Irishman who knocked the man
down, they would not allow anybody Else
to do so.
We're there even the slightest grounds
for these hypocritical protests, we should

they advocate al appropriation sor ths'
profession Of the cotton and sugar inter-,
est However w might Congratulate The
Republican party on this accession of
States to the doctrine of nationality, we
can not withhold the comment that it is
recantation Of principle on the part of the,
Democracy. On the principle that one
renegade is worse than ten Turks, we may
apprehend that the new converts may not
be satisfied until they scrape the bottom
board of the national treasury, and barter
their votes with others for the success Of
common assault upon the national
credit. Here is what the Globe Democrat
says Of the Southern Democratic internal
improvements
There are no less than six schemes exclu-
sively Southern and designed to benefit the
south only, for the realization of which the
general government is TO be asked to con.
tribute. The least and most modest of
these is specially urged By the New Orleans
papers, and is the assumption by the gov
eminent of the rebuilding and care of the
levees. at cost of fifteen million dollars.
Next come the projected improvements of
the Mississippi river, a twenty million dol.
lar job. and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
costing q like amount. More shameless still Is
an appropriation of twenty millions to be
asked for the improvement Of the Tennessee
river. The others might have some appear.
ance of necessity, but this has none. The
list swells with the addition Of CSC, 00O, 900
tor the Georgia and Tennessee canal, and
comes to full, round, pompous conclusion
with the James river and Kanawha canal
which, it is estimated, can be constructed
for the neat plum of SIS 1000, 900. Thus q
cool 5000, 000, 900 is to be begged for at the
coming session, and by the very men who
have so denounced the action of former
Congresses in appropriations.
We do not like the sectionalism of the
Globe Democrat, and hope that the North
ern Democracy will not carry its zeal so
far as to defeat some of these great works
by an unscrupulous and unlimited raid
upon the national treasury. People who
are sharp set and starving sometimes over
eat themselves, with serious inconvenience
to themselves and to others if the re be a
limited supply of victuals.
