Something About Hendricks.

EDITOR OF THE TIMES Il am one
Of those who, with Charles Francis
Adams, that victim of Sam Bowles'
support, prefer Tilden next after
Bristow for presidential candidate
although Hayes record suits me we'll
and his letter of acceptance is plat
form enough. Despite Tilden's peace
procl,vities at the time of the rebel
lion, | could vote for him for Centen-
tennial President with clear con
science were he rid Of that soft
money Bourbon, Thomas A. Hen
bricks, on the ticket.
Some remarks of The Virginia
Chronicle, loudly condemning all
railroad land grants TO railroads as
Republican proiligacy and breach of
trust. lead me TO ask how that paper
can support Hendricks for Vice
President In the first place, land
grants TO railroads were inaugurated
by the Democrats, the first bill of the
kind being introduced by Mr.. Doug
las in 1850. | think in 1852 Thomas
A. Hendricks voted for land grants
T. the Hannibal & ST. Joseph and
the Pacific and Southeastern Branch
railroads. In 1864, when he voted
for the grant to the Pacific Rilroad
Company he male speech in favor
of tn dill in which he declared his
I'D aerence 10 the principle OF graut-
inS aid to railroads, and stated that
wh-n he voted for those grants in
1852 he had ia his mind eye the Pa
cihc II ilroad pr ject, So pronounced
Was he that @hen u proposition
Was made TO limit the subsidy t. the
Pacific road 10 81 20Q. 900 per alje
he voted against 1t. This Is part
of the railroad record of the man
who is supported for Vice President
by. ..Shis paper which has been making
such howl about the wickeiness
OF Republican grants to railroads,
This Is the man, too, who stands on
"A platform which condemns In un-
measured terms the system of grant
ing government aid to railroads
Among other achievements are his
votes against the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments.
One OF his strong points OF oblec-
tian to the fourteenth amendment
was To section 4. which declared
that ''the validity OF the public debt
of the United States shall not be
Questgone Bat neither the United
States nor any State shall assume
or pay any debt or obligation in-
currai Ia aid OF insurrection or re-
bellion against the United States.
or any claim for the loss or emancl-
patton III any slave, but all such
debts, obligations and claims shall
ba held illeg Il and void
Iu speech against the fourteenth
amendment Mr.. Hendricks declared
that Congress had no power to pro-
pose To the States an amendment to
the Constitution abolishing slavery,
claiming that slavery existed before
the States entered the Union. and
/ iat therefore it could be abolished
only by each State in its individual
capacity, and could be re-estab-
lished by any State at will. Thus
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President stands on record commit.
ted to the opinion that the four
teenth amendment is no amend
uent and that slavery has not been
legal y abolished in this country.

District Jail. In eleven days his bill fol
meals and attendance at the expense Of
the House footed up to over three hun
dred and fifty dollars, the average ex'

fifty eight dollars. All this, besides $l27

to suspend the rules in the House on
Monday, to pass resolution instructing
the jaier to feed this Kilbourn on the

the suspension by preventing a two

SALT LAKE,
Explosion of Three Powder Maga-
zines-Great Damage Throughout
the City-Several Persons Killed
and Injured.

SALT LAKE, April 5.-This afternoon
about five o'clock this city was thrown
into CONSERVATION by three terrible ex-
plosions succeeding each other at inter-
of a few seconds. The people rushed
into the streets in terror, horses ran away
and CONSERVATION reigned supreme
Windows were blown in, doors blown
from their hinges, chimneys blown down
and many buildings badly injured.
The cause of this terrible explosion and
shaking was not known until an immense
volume of smoke was seen rising from
Arsenal hill, Immediately north of the
city. Upon this hill were four powder
magazines, one of Walker Brosr agents
of the California Powder Co., containing
one and half car loads of powder; one
of Walker Bros, for the Oriental Powder
Co., containing halfa car load of powder;
one of Zion's cooperative institutions
for the Hazard Powder Co., containing
ten tons of powder; oneof Ben. Jennings
for the Dupont Powder Co., containing
fourteen tons of powder, all of which eX-
ploded There were no buildings very
close to the magazines. The FIGURING
mill and water works buildings on City
creek were riddled with boulders. I'm
mense boulders fell crashing through
buildings throughout the city, some fall
ing a mile distant. There were three
men at work at one of these magazines
All that can be found of them are small
pieces of flesh, the largest piece being g
portion offoot in a boot. Their names
are not known. Mrs. Vannata, in Gtht
Nineteenth ward, was strnck by boul
der and killed. Jas. Radden, boy il
the Twentieth ward, was struck by {
boulder and killed. Quite a number o
other persons were injured, and perhaps
other deaths may occur. One lady dice
from fright. The cause of the explosion
cannot be ascertained. 1t is claimed mer
at work were smoking, others state some
person fred a shot into one of the maga
zines. An immense amount of glass was
broken throughout the city. The damage
to the glass alone will probably be neal

has been on the witness stand, and has
made "clean breast of the whole al
fair. He says that under the direction
of President Stockwell, he disbursed
the money, and that he received the sum
in checks from the Vice President of the
company. The amounts were placed
where they would do the most good, the

Norman, $4,000; to John A. Bryce, ST.

nick, 81, 500; to Geo. H. Bradbury, SIo,-
600; to Mr.. Averil, 81 900; to Mr., FAINT,
So 900; and to Richard {. Parsons, 81
500. The William S. King mentioned
above is no less person than the famous
"Bill King whose presence the Con-
gressional committee so ardently desired,
and who had such important business
outside their jurisdiction. John Schu.
macker is the Congressman with the very
short memory. 1t will be remembered
that when check or draft for three hum
dred thousand dollars, with his endorse
ment, was shown him by the committee,
he confessed blandly that the signature
was his, and not a forgery; "but, gentle
men, assure you, said he, that have
recollection Of ever seeing that paper
before, and never recollect writing that
signature. The presumption was that
either the honorable gentlemen had a
very bad memory, or that he was used
to handling such large amounts OF money
that the mere bagatelle of three humid
red thousand dollar clerk was triaing
affair, or else he was lying, The general
belief favored the last proposition, Whe-
ther the "Mr. Randall" in the above list,
who received $39, 5oois the distinguished
Congressman from Pennsylvania, we are
not certain, but probably 1t was Richard
c. Parsons, of this State, the learned
member of Congress from Cleveland,
received only fifteen hundred" attorney S
fees"
There will, we presume, be a strong
disposition on the part of the several
gentlemen named to "rise and eX-
plain"

THE notorious Maj. Merrill, who, while
acting as an officer IF the army, procured
from the Legislature of South Carolina a
gift of over S2l 900 for his services in
hunting Ku-Klux, and whose illegal and
arbitrary acts in Louisiana at later pc
riod should long ago have caused him to
be court martialled, is at last receiving
the attention ofthe House Military Com
mittee. This fellow by his partisan SER
vices in South Carolina and in sustaining
the Kellogg usurpation in Louisiana,
greatly endeared himself to the Admin
istration, and was recently appol lnted as
one of the representatives of the Govern
ment at the Philadelphia Exposition,
though by respectable army officers he
has long been deemed a disgrace to the
service. His brave career now promises
to come to a sudden and inglorous con-
ciusion.

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS
FROM LoNGFELLow.

FROM LoNGFELLow.
There is a reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
uShall I have naught that is fair p saith he;
"Haye naught but the bearded grain ,.
Though the breath of those flowers is sweet to M
will give them all back again."
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leavesi
II was for the Lord of Paradise,
He bound them in his sheaves'
"My Lord has need of these flowrets gay"
The Reaper said, and smiled
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once a child.
"They shall all bloom in the fields OF light
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave in tears and pain
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields Of light above
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away
