DAVE AT FULTON, TEN NEkSEE.

A Fulton Tenn. correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier-Jottrnai, in report OF
the great Democratic barbecue at that
place last week, says:
An exuberant burst OF applause greeted
the next speaker, Col. Liaegar, OF ILL
nois, when he stated that Tor the last six
teen years he had stood in the kepubli-
can ranks to-day he was proud to find
himself on the side of the Democracy,
which was the side OF honesty and OF
principle. He had seen tit to be with the
Republi cans In the war he had seen
tit TO sustain them in 1872, but
now he could follow them no fur
Their, and he was convinced Of the
untrustwOrthiness Of the controlling ele.
ments In that party. Col. Linegar dc.
voted his address largely to review OF
Hayes letter Of acceptance. commenting
on the absurdity Of his system Of civil
service reform, and declared himself Ia
favor OF reform by which tenure Of
Office would not be dependent upon
presidential caprice or party dictatiOn

MEAN AND STUPID.

The Democratic convention at St.Lonis
adopted the following resolution
Resolved, That the soldiers and sailors
Of the REPUBLIC, and the widows and or
phans Of those WHO HAVE FALLEN IN
BATTLE. have joint claim upon the care,
protection and gratitude Of their fellow
citizens.
The Galconda Herald and other Re-
publican Journals, say that "every intel
ligent man knows that this means that
those who were wounded In their efforts
to destroy the government shall receive
pensions at the hands Of that identical
government. the same rs those who
fought for its preservation.
Certainly no person who understands
the English language. and who is not es-
sentially dishonest, would put such a
construction as this on the resolution
copied above and nobody but fool
would believe any man OF common sense
who should have the shameless audacity
to assert that he believes the resolution
meant what the Herald says it does.
Let us look at this moment. What
does the resolution say: That the sol
diers and sailors of the republic have a
claim upon the care and gratitude OF their
fellow citizens. Can any one object to
this But the resolution says more than
this. 1t also says that the orphans Of
those soldiers and sailors of The repub-
lie who have fallen in battle have a joint
claim with the soldiers and sailors of the
republic who have survived the war.
upon the care. protection and gratitude
OF their fellow citizens. Who can object
to this : Have not the orphans and Wild
ows of men who have fallen IN battle
fighting for the republic claim on the
care, protection and gratitude of the peo-
pie? Why then does the Herald objects
Why does that paper shamelessly and
dishonesty attempt to pervert the
meaning of the resolution
But the Democrats have more than this
resolution TO show aseyideDce of their
kindly disposition towards the soldiers
OF the Republic. The house Of the pres
ent congress-called by the Radicals. the
Confederate house-passed the soldiers.
aud sailors, equalization Of bounties bill !;
and this bill, although it was championed
with great vigor by Senator Logan. was
defeated by the Radical senate. The
Herald should turn its guns on the Radi-
Gals who would not permit the Con
federates" and Logan to do the soldiers
and sailors of the republic favor.

Attorney Bliss, of New York. 1t turned
out that the principal, who has tor years

Babcock to ruin the government case.

the records in the solicitors Office attest.
to bring discredit upon Bristow and Will
son. so that the prosecution might be
wholly blocked. When Babcock's case
became desperate. Bliss sent his office as
sistant to steal the lease" from Dyer and
Broadhead to put Babcock out of dam
ger. Later during the winter it was the
ingenious brain Of Bliss that concocted
the Harney perjury against Kerr. The
attempt upon Tilden is more plausible,
but falls all the same of its own intrinsic
improbability, to say nothing OF the doc
umentary evidence.

son Wednesday, November ~, |
some hunters found the remains of
a man in town 16 north, of range
13 west, in Newago county, this
State. The remains had lain where
found a long time, in all probabil-
ity more than a year, and most Of
the clothing was 50 much decom-
posed as to render it difficult to as
certain its original color. The cap
was of fine cloth, blue or black,
with leather front.piece and some
braid around the front. The vest
was a light plaid. No article, how
ever, save the clothing, could be
found in the vicinity of the body.
The bones we're all found except
the feet and leg bones. The molars
in the upper jaw were large and
sound, the front teeth were mostly
perfect, but have been lost since
the skull was taken from the spot
where it was foand. The skull is
above rather than below the aver
age size, symmetrical, well deyel-
oped in the lower and back portion.
The skull is now at Vests drug
store in this city, where it can be
seen. The spot where the remain
der of the remains are is marked
and can be found.
"By consulting the map it will
be seen that the place where the
remains were found is very near on
the course taken by Professor Don
aldson's balloon; a direct line pass
ing to the spot from Chicago would
pass very near the mouth Of Mus
kegon river, and it would not at all
be surprising if the remains are
those of the lost balloonist.
"The hunters who found the
body reside near this city, and a
letter, if the above furnishes any
clue worth following, may be ad-
dressed to Henry Strope, at this
place. No one has been missed
from the neighborhOod where the
skeleton was found. There were
no indications Of suicide, as no
arms were found, and the fact that
the body lay across a pole seven OF
eight inches in diameter would
seem to indicate that the body de-
composed where it fell"
