Brown, to the present day; in fact, his
paper, the Globe Democrat had formed the
nucleus or rallying point around which Re-
publicanism in the old slave State of Mis-
souri, gathered and f1ourished. And 1t still
remained true to the party and flag. 1t
was thought certain that the Administra-
ton would intervene to protect and preserve
such friend and power, either before con
viction or by clemency thereafter. Mr..
Mckee had grown old and gray in the ser
vice of his party, in city and country, too,
where the principles of Republicanism are
not to this day of the sweetest SAVIOR. The
consplrators knew it would be easy to
convict him if a jury were taken from the
Copperhead Democrats of the State, for the
political prejudices of the average Missouri
Democrat, who hate Republicans with a
relentless hatred, are quite sufficiently
strong to overcome reason and evidence.
They hated Mckee for the loss of their
slave property. His conviction was assured
through a prejudiced jury, false testimony
and the constant efforts of jealous, ma
levolent opposition and rival press, just as
had been preconcerted by the chief con-
spirators.
Now the question is, if these facts are
fully authenticated and made apparent
beyond preadventure, should the Execu-
tive clemency intervene? No doubt at the
proper time it should. But the utmost
care should be taken at the same time to
prevent those guilty persons who designed
and fostered and completed this plot from
deriving any of the benefits from it Of
which they have so fondly dreamed. When
the pardon door is opened the order and the
motto should still be, "Let no guilty man
escape?' Let those innocent parties who
have been the victims of persecution and
perjury be released, and passing through be
restored to their places in society; but let
those vile, brazen, confessed thieves, con-
spirators, despoilers of the fortunes and
characters of their fellow men, who have
thrived upon this perjury and corruption,
still remain disgraced by the felon's brand.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

Offenbach sailed for Europe on Saturday,
and as he is rapid man and intends to return,
It is supposed that he will be offen-bach in q
short time.
The San Dominicans have insulted the
American flag, and they will promptly be
compelled to apologize or suffer the eonse-
quences of q refusal.
Madame Spelterini accomplished her great
feat of walking a tight rope across the Niagara
river on Saturday. The rope acted badly, but
it failed to Spelterini water-ah.
That the country does not want soft money
is certain, but should the Democratic party
elect its ticket, and Governor Tilden, who is
in feeble health, should die, then Hendricks,
the great champion of the rag baby, would as
sumo the Executive chair and WELD his great
power in the interests of the young infant. 1t
is said that Hendricks accepted the nomination
eagerly.when he learned that Tilden was par
TALLY paralyzed.
How we try to exc out little qualification
in hoping that the Sioux loss was hesvy-as if
a million of those red fiends would compen-
safe for the death of any one of Custer's he
roes.- Graphic.
We are afraid that the hot blood of "Graph-
icality' got the better of his calm judgment in
the above. Custer and his well-loved heroes
are dear to every American heart, but they
fell in fair Indian fight.
The New York Sun, in speaking of General
Clusters defeat, says: eff he had not been
punished for his manly and patriotic service
in exposing the peculations of Belknap and
Orvil Grant, he would probably have led our
columns to victory, instead of yielding himself
victim to savage vengeance" 1t seems as
though the veriest fool would have more self
respect than to write such nonsensical twad-
die. To think that the gallant and big
hearted Custer should throw himself into the
mouth of he'll and the jaws of death because
he was piqued at his treatment in Washing
ton is simply crazy. 1t is about time now fol
the New York San to blame President Grant
for the black spots on the suns disc.

GOVERNOR STEARNs, of Florida, the
nominee for reelection on the Republican
ticket, is in the city, and it is understood
that to heal the differences in the party he
has agreed to withdraw in favor Of Senator
Conover, who was nominated for Cover
nor by the opposing convention. This
action puts Governor Stearns in the atti-
tude of true partisan and good Republi
can, who desires, even at the expense of his
own personal interest, to serve the party.

THE White Liners are again doing their
bloody work. Yesterday morning they
shot down, in cold blood, six negroes and
murdered several prisoners which they had
captured. A few more Republican votes
destroyed. This is the way the Southern
Democracy proposes to defeat us at the
polls.

THE HASTINGS g. DAKOTA RAIL.

The people along the uncompletea
line o! this road are protesting vigor-
ousiy against any extension OF time to
the company. For tour years they have
not built mile Of road, and they are
now scheming to get six years more.
The people have sent delegations down
to represent them, but the agents OF the
company are industriously engaged
pulling the wool over their eyes, and
it looks as though they would obliterate
their mortal vision altogether
We take the ground that the compa-
ny has one year more in which TO build
the road, to-wlt, to March Z. 1877; and
we hold that they should q. least, build
thirty-ive miles during that year; and
that if they do thai, the Legislature can
then. with some degree OF proprety, ask
for an extension Of their grant. l,
would show at least that they were in
earnest. But they are fixing things SC
tina, they will build no road tor years tc

REFORM.

st. Paul is in paroxysm OF reform.
The burden of taxation has become so
great that the people cry aloud for help
Taxation means cOniiscation.
When ue clamored for reform year
or two ago St. Paul Knocked us: Now
we could afford to laugh when her fear
cometh = but we will not.
When will the people learn that gov
ernment was made for them not they for
government; and0 hat the work OF their
own hands has no right to crush them
The idea of some public men seems to
be simply this Turn down the screws :;
Squeeze out the taxes; let them
howl"
That was not the kind of government
Tom jefferson intended to establish.

DON'T BELIEVE IT.

We find in an exchange the following
curious statement:
A health commission has been inquiring in.
to he cause OF the high death rate IN Boston,
and the result is Of special interest to our read
cts Among the conclusions reached BY the
commission are the following: ist The death
rate in Boston is considerably higher among
those of forsign than those Of native parentaye;
the population OF foreign parentage being, in
1870, 5S.a per cent. OF the whole. I'd. The
Irish are more liable to mortality from consti-
,u.lonal causes than either natives or the gem
erality OF other foreigners: and Boston has 4
larger proportion Of Irish population than anv
other city in the United States. pd. The Irish,
As compared with other foreign populations
throughout the United States, arr liable in an
exceptional degree to death not oaly ON con
sumption, but from bronchitis and Bright's
disease, They are also exceptionally liable,
though in \ less degree, TO cancer, pneumonia,
and iiarrh1al affections. These statements ar.
50 important, and SO peculiar. that We trust
they will receive attention from some OF our
Iris h. American physicians. Arr the state
nents true' And II SO, whys
We do aot believe this to be true. and
we can imagine no reason why it should
be. 1t cannot be Oh account OF race. for
all the peoples OF western Europe are
combinations. in varying proportions. OF
the same race elements. There are
parts OF Ireland where the Gothic ele-
ment is stronger than in some parts of
England. The Eaglishman Of York
shire is Of very different race from the
Euglishman OF Cornwall and the Ir,sh-
man of Antrim has little in common. 50
far as race is concerned. with the Irish
man Of Tipperary.
We would he glad to have some OF
our physicians give their experience
upon this question. There is grea,

US eliminate that prejudice by starting a
