THERE seems to be an inhuman and
most unworthy effort on the part of
portion of the press to make political capi-
tai out of the death of General Custer and
his gallant companions by representing
that he was not fairly supported by Gen.
eral Terry and the War Department 1t
Is limited that there is some connection be-
tween his fatal misfortune and his recent
testimony before the Clymer committee
This is all the vGritst trash and bosh.
General Custer, on the contrary, has
always been iavorie officer with the
President and General Sheridan on ac-
count Of Ills dash and gallanIry in charging
the foe. His defeat and de sth in the re-
cent encounter appears to have been the
result OF rccklessness in attacking an
enemy before ascertaining his strength
without adequate support. He knew that
Terry with the Infantry must have been
fully fifty miles in his rear
when he assaulted the enemy. Yet he ar
ranged for immediate attack upon two
points, and undertaking the strength Of the
opposing force, fell victim to superior
numbers. This is all there is Of it, and it
was a result which could not have been
foreseen and guarded against by Generals
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan or Terry; in
fact, no one but himself Lamentable as it
is, the catastrophe is one of the events of
war which is sure to come of zeal untem-
pered by prudence and caution.

J. RANDOLPH TICKER, commonly
called IRAN, was the first and principal
speaker at the Democratic ratification
meeting, Thursday night, in Washington.
This was eminently proper at a meeting
where TiIdep, the Copperhead, and Hen
bricks, the Knight of the Golden Circle,
were to be ratified by the ex -Confederates
of the Lower House-very much lower.
Ran" Tucker, late Attorney Generl of
Virginia, who ''still'' believes that Vir-
ginia justice of the peace has the right to
stop and search the United States mails,
was ''the right man in the right place" as
principal speaker.

In another column will be found an arti-
Gle from the pen Of Mr.. E. N. Hill, of Ar
kansas, upon the subject of 'the Southern
vote" Mr. Hill is well posted on this mat
ter, and has clearly proven the positions
assumed by him, which are that there is
larger proportion OF voters to population in
the colored than there is in the white race,
and that Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida, Georgia North and South Caro-
lima, Virginia and Tennessee are Republi-
can States, and will give majorities for
Hayes and Wheeler if the people are per-
mitted to vote as they desire. The article
OF Mr.. Hill is one that should be read and
preserved, as it contains much valuable in

A. B. MULLETT, formerly Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury Department, who was
forced to resign during the administration OF
Secretary BristOw, is now in Washington,
hacked 10y all his old friends of the White
House ring and urging his reappointment to
his old place. One of the chief arguments
used by himself and his friends is that while
performing the duties of the Office he can
render efficient service to the Republican party
in the coming campaign, which the present
Supervising Architect, Potter, is unable to do.
NuIIett has scores of firm friends among the
adherents of Grantism, and seems to be max
ing some headway. Unless Secretary Morrill,
should object to the reappOintment, his sue
cess in his present movement is by no means
improbable. Washington correspondence Of tie
Neg York Tribune.
1t may or may not he true that Mr.. Null
lett is a candidate for reappointment, as
well as that he is backed by friends of any
description. 1t is true, however, that in
whatever position he may be during the
pending campaign ''he can render efficient
service 10 the Republican party" Ii is
some qualification to his friends, however,
to note the fact that the strongest recon-
mendation for his reappoin tment resides in
the fact that he is thus efficient.

AT LAST,

The House of Representatives yester-
day passed unanimously the Lawrence
Pacific railroad bill. After seven months
of investigation, mud singing aud de-
flaming they have devoted two hours to
useful legislation. This bill was prepared
by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, after thor
ough research into every legal and techni-
cal question embraced in the question. No
"yested right" is imperiled, nor the obi
cation of any contract disturbed. 1t is
simply and plainly an act for the protec-
ton of the Government against palpable
and manifest attempt to stave of fair
dealing until such time as the Government
security would be worthless. Heretofore
these purse-proud mOnOpOlists of the Pa
cific railroads have resisted wholesome
legislation and have succeeded in enjoy
ing their enormous profits unmolested.
The people in the different localities over
which these subsidized roads were operated
have frequently appealed to Congress for
relief, and the attention of the nation has
been attracted by the apathy exhibited by
the national Legislators in permitting this
outrage 10 continue and the Government
constantly defrauded.
Mr.. Lawrence's bill requires these de-
linquent railroad companies to make show
of good intent by paying into the National
Treasury semi-annually stipulated sum,
to be applied toward liquidating the NUM-
ficent outlays the Government generously
loaned to stimulate the enterprise. In ad
dition to the princely fortunes made by
these railroad magnates out of the land and
money subsidies granted for building the
road, the net income, according to their
own showing, makes the cash payments
demanded by this bill less than 10 per
cent.
Every attempt by the officers Of the Gov
eminent to enforce the evident intent of the
original law has been ObslruCted by legal
opposition. In the courts resort has been
had to strict legal Interpretation. The
loose and possibly adrOit wording of the
Pacific railroad bills have been decided by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The stern judicial Interpretation there given
has made it plain to the most Obtuse intel
lcct that the railroad companies are seek
ing to shirk their legal responsibilities. In
a word, they have outraged the spirit of
liherality which prompted the donation.
Ii has fallen to the lot of this Congress to
redress those grievances, and the prompt
action of the Senate is looked forward to
by a national constituency who expect
and demand immediate action. Their list
of attorneys and retinue of Lobbyists"
have been able to obstruct legislation up to
this time. But the passage Of the bill
unanimously indicates very clearly that
they cannot defeat it. The country is
awake to the vital importance of this ques-
tion, and those who would covertly assist
dare not avow it openly. This is tardy
justice, but eminently better than none at
all

SENATOR THURMAN's speech Thursday
night proves that even our statesman can
be taught wisdom by the logic Of events.
In February last Mr. Arnold, of the Cadiz
(Ohio) Sentinel an earnest greenback
Democrat, being asked as to Mr.. Thur
mans Presidential prospects, replied
We, in Ohio, will not touch Mr.. Thur
"man with a forty foot pole. He Came
Unto our canvass last fall and did US irrep-
"arable damage by attempting, most un-
wisely, to interpret our platform for u.s.
"instead of carrying water on both shoul-
"ders, as Mr.. Hendricks did to perfection.
He won't suit US. We can assure Mr..
Arnold that he may now drop his forty foot
pole. Mr.. Thurman will do. Mr. Hen
dricks does not surpass him as an Aquarius.

with him in the excu' patton by the com
mittee. Mr. McCrary, of the committee
who paid close attention to the testimony
in the case, is most emphatic IN his decla-
ration that Mr.. Keycs' innocence of the
charges against him was clearly proven.
This information will be especially crafty
ing, not only to The Republicans of the
Badger State generally. but to the large
circle of Mr.. Kcyes' admiring friends who
have, during many well-fought campaign,
welded generous recognition Of his ster-
ling partisan integrity and shrewd execu-
tive ability.
