The reporters of the Conservative city
press have been wrestling for the past
two or three days, with tremendous dis
covery, without, however, being able to
get the better of it. For some reason or
another, as it seems, sewing machine
agent-real or pretended it does not clear
ly appear which-has been sending out a
number Of circulars extolling the merits
of the "Southern Charm" Cor Chain)
machine, and offering them to cash Gus
toners at the low rate Of twenty-five dol
lars each. These circulars are duly
sealed, stamped with two cent postal
stamp, and deposited in the Postofice,
with the customary request to return to
the box of the writer If not called for in
TIC days.
Now, it occurs to us that any man has
perfect right, under our postoffice laws,
to do exactly the same thing. The law
does not prohibit the use of the postotfice
for the dissemination of business informa-
ton, nor any other which is not consid-
cred against good morals. OF course we
do not know the motives which impelled
somebody to go to considerable expense for
circulars, envelopes, clerk hire and post
age stamps. It is certainly none of our
business, nor that of the literary Paul Prys
who have discovered this great bugbear.
But they have attached motive to the
action which may be correct or not. We
can not say. The reporters of the Demo-
cratic press of this city have 90 often de-
luded us with false news and silly specu-
lations that We, for one, have lost all
faith in their judgment, and even go so
far as to question the veraoity of some Of

FIE, FIE, PIC!

Has ever been seen such ingratitude !.
Under the head "Beast Butler Redivivus, {"
the Picayane has this:
Once more Beast Butler comes to the
front. We need not draw this gentleman's
portrait for New Orleans readers. =
1t is true, however, that even in his own
district the Beast meets with at least show
of opposition from the more respectable
portion OF his party.
Pretty tall this from the spared monu-
ment of General Buffers mercy. When
there appeared in the Picay,ne an edi-
torial in support of Confederate doctrine
the proprietor was interviewed by an
orderly from General Butler. The ar
ticle was disavowed, the writer "discov-
ered," sent to Ship island, and the Pica-
ptne so restored to favor that it survived
the wreck of the Bulletin and Crescent
Really the Picayue should display more
magnanimity We once knew a gentle
man who had been standing some hours
for deer, when it was observed that a
rattlesnake had been coiled within strik-
ing distance of him. Upon an attempt
to kill it, the gentleman said, "No; let it
alone. 1t has spared my life, and will
not be outdone in magnanimity" We
commend this noble example to the
Picayatne, though we may suppose that,
like Pistol when required to devour the
leek, it murmured, 81 eat, yet exc
swear"
But suppose in the inscrutable future
Major General Ben jamin F. Butler should
again volunteer to preserve the Union
and the peace in New Orleans in what a
terrible position would it place that des-
perate Confederate, the Picayune. This
may be produced against it;
the writer again discovered" and sent to
Ship island, and the incorrigible journal
again compelled to publish the orders of
General Butler and suppress its ferocious
sentiments until-he shall have again de-
parted. 1t is very ungracious that
journal whose vital breath was inspired
by Yankee progenitors, to condemn peo-
pie "born north of Mason and Dixon's
line 1t is even more ungrateful to
revile one to whose indulgence the jour-
nal perhaps owes its existence. "Pauca
rerba, Sir John, goot worts," as Parson
Hugh advised Falstaff. One does not
know what may happen in the political
world

2. The national Democracy ''denource
the present tariff Gas masterpiece of
injustice, inequality and false pretense."
We do not learn that the Democratic
majority in the House of Representatives
disturbed this iniquity, except to repeal
the duties on Southern grown sugar ana
rice, as to one foreign country. The
Democratic platform, however, goes
further than the preamble quoted. It
demands "that all customhouse taxation
shall be only for revenue" When there
fore we apply this doctrine avowed by the
candid Holman and expressed by the
national Democracy to the interests of
Louisiana, we find that the planters arA
laborers on the river and its chief tribu-
taries can neither expect an appropria-
ton from the Democratic PARTY for the
levees, for the railroad, nor, indeed, for
any public or private enterprise which
will require national money, bonds, in
dorsements or subsidies. We find, more
over, that although our own Democratic
Representatives have gone square back
upon the principles and policy of their
own party, they have gained nothing by
the regeneration, except the humiliation
of failure. The Republican. party on the
other hand, stands as to the powers of
the government just where the Wing
party did The Republican party has
built these national roads, has enacted
that homestead law; has built up the SUI
gar, rice and other industries under
common system of protection. The Dem
ocratic party can not, therefore, be ex-

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The Nutmeg State has again gone
Democratic. One year ago the vote
on Governor stood: Democratic vote
53,752; Republican 44,272; Temper
ancc 2,942. This gave Ingersoll, DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor, plu-
rality over the Republican candidate,
of 9,4s0, and majority over all of
G.54S. Our reports to-day, the 4th
inst, show that $50 towns give niger
soil ldem.) 49,027, Robinson (rep.)
1919, the Greenback candidate 1890,
and the temperance candidate 1,SOO.
The few remaining towns will not
probably vary the result more than a
few hundred either way. From this
ii is observable that the Democratic
plurality has been cut down from last
years vote nearly one half, and the
majority is cut down over one-half.
The vote shows Ingersoll's plurality
to be 5,90S, as against $3.50 last year,
and his majority 2,3OS, as against g.
54S last year. This, while a Repub-
iican defeat does yet show such flat
tering gains as to be extremely en-
.couraging, aud in our opinion, gives
US strong assurance Of Republican
victory next. November in Connect
icut. We do not believe The Democ-
racy can carry the State for President
in any other way than by the nomi-
nation of its citizen, Mr.. Ingersoll.

A strange funeral procession ar.
rived at Santa FEE one day last week.
There were twenty freight wagons in
the procession, and each wagon was a
hearsc, loaded with the remains OF
soldiers, in different stages of decay.
These had been buried, one by one,
ranging through a period of several
years, ut Fort Craig, and recently the
remains were ordered removed to
the government cemetery at Santa
Fe, The bodies were exhumed,
packed in gunny sack, and each one
labeled, just like sacks of ore. Only
one body, that of Lieutenant Drew,
was transported in a coffin. This
officer persisted of thirst on the Jor-
nado del Muerta, six years ago. His
remains, when exposed to inspection
at Santa Fe, presented rather nat
ural appearance. The tongue, or what
remained of il, still protruded from
the mouth, cvidencing the suffering
attending his horrible death. In this
singular and CHASTITY procession were
one hundred and forty bodies, The
wagons discharged their skeletonic
freight in the government cemetery,
and each gunny sack and contents
were dropped into separate grave.
There were 10 religious or military
services or ceremonies, and the men
hired to accompany the procession
tossed the sacks Of bones about with
as little care and feeling as they
would boxes of merchandise. A spec
taclo SO weird is not seen every day

We publish to-day communica-
ton to the Gate city touching the po-
sition of Gen. John M. Hedrick UNI
der the fire that is now being raincd
down upon him. Who the writer is
we do not know, nor have we any
reasonable supposition as TO who he
is. So far as we know in a general
way, he states the facts. We have
very good reasons to believe the cor
respondent makes a correct represen-
fation Of the case. Evidently the
writer is quite well informed in re-
gard to the matters, probably better
than we ourselves are, for we never
had any complete information upon
the subject, and because we are not in
possession of the whole facts we have
not attempted to give them in detail,
hoping to get the testimony of all
parties thereto, either before or on
the Generals return from Washing
ton, which certainly will be very
soon. We had expected him by this
time. We have so far only mcHand re-
futed, as best we could, the stupen-
dous falsehoods which have been put
afloat concerning the General. Pre-
yious to, say forty days ago, we had
no knowledge Of the matter at all and
since then Gen. Hedricks sickness and
mis- absence from home have preclud-
ed our being fully informed upon
she subject.

THR State Leader asked the CouR-
TER to unload as to our statement de-
nying that Mr.. Chaney's testimony
was as Mr.. Clymer's henchmen re-
ported it over the country by tcle-

we judged entirely in the light of
common sense, without the facts be-
fore us. The Leader did lis the honor
to publish our brief article Mt that
time. 1t so happened the next day
that CLANCY returned, and over his
own name showed how shamefully
his testimony had been perverted.
We did unload, Mr.. Leader. Will
you tell lis why you did not, by pub
fishing the card of Mr.. CLANCY. let
your readers know how we unload.
ed? The Leader of the Both inst. did
not give us the benefit of a single ref
erencc to said card. The only reason
possible why it did not do so was
that it is not disposed to be decent,
and is ashamed to tell il readers how
ii was effectually perforated.
The Leader, however. does do one
thing, viz: it duplicates its former
published falsehoods by falling back
upon the Omaha Herald, which, if
correctly reported, has added to the
stock of untruths an addenda. We
can only say now, that the Uerdzd's
story is utterly false, without the
shadow of truth to stand upon.

The long haired General Custer
has been before the Clymer commit
tee. He is the regular army officer
who most shamefully abused some of
our First Iowa Cavalry boys down in
Texas during the last year of the re-
bellion. What is his story? Only
this: He relates merely heresay testi-
mony-the confidential tale of Sykes,
a post-trader. Gen. Clusters testimony
would DE perfectly inadmissable be-
fore any country magistrate, for he
does not state single fact that he
knew. Al once Clymcr's lackcys
sent kilograms all over the country
relating this tale of SANDER, mere
"Cousin Sally billiard" yarn to injurc
the reputation of certain men, and for
political effect. If the reputation of
men is to be trifled with in this man
ner, the country will soon sickcn and
tire Of such regime as they did in
olden times of the Salem witchcraft.
We have not the least shadow of q
doubt but thai Clusters hcarsay yarn,
so far at least, as it relates to General
Hedrick, has not one particle Of fact
for a foundation. ii is tritling with
the dearest thing man has to thus,
so far as such things can, blast the
character of a man upon testimony
totally unrecognized before any court
or even by decent mob, The story
Caster tells was probably the yaunt-
ing, reckless story told Custer at some
convivial season, which TRANSFERRED
when that officer and the trader were
pretty drunk upon the latter's wins
ky. Custer, i'm this story pays of,
not grudge against Hedrick, but
one he has long held against the Sec
rotary of War, and Clymer's sluice
way of SANDER furnishes the oppor-
tunity.

The Death Of ssHaHsblet0nian
Drxglfss Father.
IN. Y. sun, 27th.)

Rysdyk's world renowned stallion,
IIambletonian, died at Chester,
Orange county, early yesterday morn
ing. The horse was about thirty
years of age. He was the sire of Mr..
Bonner's King of the turf, Dexter, and
Of many ether noted trotting horses
of the country. The income from
HamRet0Hian was over $4,000 a
year. 1t is said that at one time $780,
GOO was offered for tho horse. He
was bought about ~ years ago for
$3.50, from the Seeley family, at Sugar
Loaf, Orange county.
before Mr.. Rysdyk's death, he select
ed place Whele the old horse was
to he buried in fenced-in lot, with
appropriate headstppe, lie left a
clause in his will, that under no cir
cumstances should the horses remains
be mutilated after death. Two offers
were made yesterday, one of $500 and
one OF $l,000, for Hambletonian's
hide, for tho purpose of preserving
the horse in his natural shape, but
the offers were refused by the Rysdyk
family. The grave was dug yester-
day afternoon, and the famous horse
is to be buried with honors to-day.
