five Michigan cavalrymen on the

had murdered Union men at their

Pertinent Questions.

Colonel John Atkinson, Of De-

ber in the event of Governor Til
den's election to the Presidency
All over the South, and in many
parts of the West, hundreds of men
feel this way, and will act just this
way when the change comes. Even
the faith that the change will be
made has led men to increase their
business orders in this city. New
York City, indeed, has an immense
interest in Governor Tilden's cleo

Pictures Of Fnct and Fnney.

The most striking and elaborate
cartoon yet contributed by Mr..
Thomas Mast to the Hayes and
Wheeler campaign is one which ap-
pears in the last number of Har-
rer's Weekly. In the foreground
are the graves of Union officers,
each with a maidstone, on which
is hung a garland of flowers. Be-
hind these graves stand double files
of soldiers leaning on their musk
cts. To the right are the regimen
tai colors hanging in mournful
folds, beyond are long and indis-
tinct lines of bayonets, and just to
the rear O few mounted men sitting
motionless upon their horses. The
somber hue of night is cast over
the fore picture; but along the
crest of the graves, upon each bay
onet, on the tips of the furled col
ors, and over the salient features
of the soldiers standing guard,
strong rays of light are thrown
which give the troop weird and
spectral appearance. Behind this
group rises the solid masonry OF a
fort, with cannon peering from the
embrasures, and above still heavier
barbette guns are frowning over
the battlements. A sentinel is pac-
ing the parapet, and above him
rises a flagstaff conspicuously des-
titute of flag, though from the
graves below the eye naturally
wanders up to the flagstaff with
the expectation of seeing flag at
half mast. Behind the ramparts
are grouped, in some confusion, the
buildings of the several depart
ments of Government; still farther
to the rear the capitol lifts its lofty
dome surmounted by the goddess
of liberty, bearing in her uplifted
hand light, or, perhaps, reflect
ing beam that has strnyed from
the graves and bayonets below,
while near the dome rises a church
spire with q cross, which, in the
absence of any explanation from
the sound Protestant writer, Eu-
gene Lawrence, leaves the observer
in some doubt as to the denomina-
ton of the congregation which
worships in the ambitious edifice'
The picture is entitled, "Hold the
Fort" and bears this legend: "The
spirit of the war revived. They
was not, and shall not be, . fall
ure."
1t is q fine conception well work'
ed up, and presents q good pic
ture ; but Mr.. Mast has given un
due prominence to one fcatur'
which makes q suggestion alto
eether fatal TO the sentiment Of th'
piece. He has placed the Wa
Department conspicuously In tn
front row OF Government build

ings, so that one might stand on
its roof and look down over the
bristling parapets upon the lines of
soldiers graves and count the ILL
omened head-stones, every one OF
which marks q swindle upon the
Government, and a dishonor to a
dead soldier. The bearing of the
men who with fixed bayonets keep
guard over the graves of their dead
comrades is that of war-worn vet
erans. Each stands in repose, with
downcast and sorrcwful counten-
ance but the artist has given each
a look of stern determination, made
more striking by the vivid rays OF
light which fall across their faces.
One familiar with the miserable
and revolving story of the soldiers
head-stone swindle might readily,
in gazing upon this picture, inter-
pret this look of sorrowful stern
ness and these fixed bayonets into
an expression of determination
to protect the resting place OF these
dead soldiers from the thieves and
vultures who have violated the
sancity of the military cemeteries.
These surviving comrades of the
dead men are not looking out to
the front, as in the times of the
war, to the approach Of the foe
they met in the field; they are all
gazing down sadly upon the chipp-
ed and cheap bead-stones and the
rough and half-legiable abbrevia-
tions which attempt to record the
valor and patriotism of those who
sleep their last sleep below. The
look of sorrow is a look of shame
for Government so administered
that its fallen soldiers may be made
the subject of wicked and unlaw-
full speculation the look of stern
ness is the expression of a fixed
resolve that false patriots shall no
longer delude the living soldiers
with cheap flattery, while they sys-
tematically rob the graves of the
dead soldiers of the last tribute
which country can pay to its de-
tenders.
To those not familiar with the
story of the maidstone swindle, it
may be instructive, with this car
toon before us, to recall the main
incidents of that shameless trans
action. Beneath this very roof OF
the War Department building,
which, under Mr.. Nast's pencil, al
most casts its shadow on the SOL
diers' graves, was concocted one OF
the most outrageous schemes for
defrauding the Government that
has ever been attempted. Gen

saver and rebel hater. The other

to say about the ex-rebels whom
the Republican party had taken to
its bosom, while at the same time
bowling over Democratic sympathy

DROPS OF RYE.

The meeting of the Grand Jury on Monday
morning in the United States Circuit Court
revived the feeling about whisky, and, as
usual, rumors were in circulation that there
would be more indictments to-day. From
what could be armed, it is probable that
they will bring in several to-day in both cot
ton and whisky.
In the case of United States vs.. R. s. Den.
nee, w. R. Whitaker, his attorney, stated to
the Court that it was impossible for him to
give $4,000, but he could give s25oO; he
therefore asked the Judge to reduce it to that
amount The District Attorney objected,
and the motion was continued until Wednes-
day.
From what the District Attorney stat ed,
several more indictments will be laid against
Dennee.
In the afternoon the Grand Jury came into
court with several indictments, which, it was
said, we're against both whisky men and those
engaged in the cotton frauds.
An order was issued by the court attaching
the body Of one Richard Fl. Mahou, in st.
Louis, and the Marshal of that District is

The Treasury Department keeps up a

not step is taken here but what is known in
Washington.
THE REMOVAL OF THE CASES
to the West has excited much comment, and
there are many facts which would seem to
point that way now. The sudden departure
of Supervisor Brady, North, the delay of As
sistant United States District Attorney Hol-
stein, of Indiana, to put in an appearance
although he has had ample time TO get here,
both seem to indicate that the government in.
tends if possible to carry on the trials away
from Louisiana. Holstein was appointed to
assist Mr.. Bsckwith in the conduct of the
prosecution some days since, and yet nothing
has been heard from him.
The mysterious movements of the Internal
Revenue officials prognosticate something.

DEFEAT OF THE oIrY's GREAT BILL

The bill intended to fortify the Premium
Bond scheme with legislative sanction and in
dorsement, having passed in the House by a
unanimous vote under recommendation OF
the highest character, was last night killed
in the Senate by indefinite postponement. 1t
is stated that the bill in its unobjectionable
form as it came from the House, was in the
Senate loaded with amendments so exceed
ingly unpalatable, as to make it unacceptable
to those who favored it in its natural shape.
The result is the same, and the responsibility
Of defeating this greatest measure Of relief
proposed during this session, rests wholly
with the Senate. This is new proof that the
Radicals in that body heed neither the advice
of the Governor, the wishes of our City Coun-
Gil, the opinion Of our Chamber of Com
MERGE, the counsel of eminent fnanciers, the
emphatic action Of the House Of Representa-
tives, the oppression that weighs upon tax
threatened with insolvency.
This action proves the continued hostility
Of the Radicals to this city and their insincer-
ity in their expressed desire to reduce the
burden of taxes. Here was q measure that
would have operated relief to the extent of
million of dollars annually to the taxpayers
Of the city for few of the dismal years
through which they are passing.
This must not be construed as defeat of
the city's plan Of funding outstanding bonds
by the issue Of new bonds in their place and
stead. The exchange will still go on under
the sanction and protection of the constitu-
tional amendment. without the leave of the
Radical Senate. In the course of another
year we hope to see men Of another class in
place of these hostile Senators.

THE DEY OF ALGIERS.
Judge Kopples Appointed as his Successor,
He Calls at the Courthouse, and is
Warmly Received by ThOmp-
son and his Friends.

A few days ago Gov. Kellogg appointed Mr..
John Kopples, q grocery keeper in Algiers,
to the position of Judge of the Fifth Munich
pal Police Court, in place of the notorious w.
L. Thompson, who was convicted before the
First District Court for extortion in office, in
charging one dollar for every bond taken be-
fore his court, and Koppless appointment
was confirmed by the Senate. Thompson's
attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court,
and the decision Of the lower court was
affirmed.
The irrepressible Dey, knowing that if the
matter was not settled to his satisfaction he
would be declared out of Office, applied
through his counsel for q rehearing before
the Supreme Court, which was granted; but
in the meanwhile, the Governor appointed
his successor. AS soon as the matter became
known to the Dey, he made up his mind that
ne would not vacate the Office, contending
that the Supreme Court had not arrived at q
final decision in his case, and on Monday
things began to assume warlike appearance
in and around the Court House. Thompson
and his friends were determined that Kop-
Piles should not assume the functions OF the
office.
About halfpast 10 O'Clock the newly ap-
pointed official put in an appearance in the
courtroom while Thompson was on the
bench, and exhibited his commission to Con-
stable Sweet who refused to recognize him,
and likewise to Thompson, who paid no at
tention to what the judge had to say, other
than giving him to understand that he would
not vacate the Office. Judge Kopplss in
structed the constable not to obey Thompson's
orders, which he refused to do, and before
long matters became so lively that Thompson
and his friends escorted the newly appointed
Judge out Of the courtroom in double quick
time.
> Some one kicked Koppel down stairs, but
We are not prepared at present to say who
caused him to leave the building as soon as he
did. Judge Kopples left the crowd and re-
paired to this side of the river for legal advice
and the court once more resumed an air of
happiness at the victory its representatives
had achieved at the election from the room of
the new judge.
Sergeant Ralph anticipating more trouble
during the day, as it was reported that Kop-
pies had called on the sheriff to assist him in
taking possession of the Office and maintain
ing the dignity of the court and knowing
that Thompson had made up his mind not to
vscate even if it cost him considerable, tele-
graphed to Superintendent Loan, asking hi N
what course he should pursue in the event of
a fight.
The Superintendent instructed him not to,
interfere but in case of disturbance to ar
rest all parties concerned.
Nothing further transpired yesterday, but
it is presumed that Kopple's will assume the
functions of his Office to-day, the ill-wishes of
Thompson and his crowd to the contrary not
withstanding.
