citizen of Gonzales, Texas, feeling
aggrieved At comments In the Galveston Netcs
upon the iynchine Of three alleged murdcrers,
has sent to the editor OF that journal the moose
cut from the rope with which one OF the victims,
named STUART CAMPBEII- was banged, to show
that the rope was tied In q regular hangman's
knot, go that CAMPBELL would have had no rea-
son TO complain, provided he had been In .
condition TO com plain, after the completion Of
tho job. The Gonzales man says that the bang-
ing was not done In haste nor IN brutal man
ner. 1he three were made TO stand on horses
which were led from under them, the men hav-
Ing previously been given "time for prayer, OF
cetera." The Decks Of TUCKER CAMPBELL nd
= man named MCELRoy were broken, while
STUART CAMPBRLL died from stranRulation.
The Ners correspondent claims that the hang
Ing was done latter the fashion which the law
Directs" and is evidently surprised as well ne
chaerined to learn that people should critlcise
the executioners for emitting the preliminary
formality Of a trial, when they took such pains
to make the most important part of the business,
the hanging, as satisfactory as possible to those
who were the most deeply interested In the pro-
ceedings.

A Satisfactory Performance OF
Duty TO Make an Office Lifelong.

II Mr. HAYES is elected President, he
will devote all the constitutional powers
OF the Executive to bringing about such
a change in the Government that SO long
as an officer performs his duties "satis-
faotorily" he shall never be removed.
Now, under the present President of the
United States, we find an officer express
ing the hope that very infamous conduct
will be satisfactory TO his superior. He ID
engaged in an attempt TO coerce or decoy
q citizen OF Rhode Island out of that State,
and out of the reach of the writ OF habeas
corpus, for the purpose of deprvlng him
OF his liberty and working his destruction;
and he hopes that such conduct Will be

LIMO as her favorite candidate. He GER
tainly stood presmineDt az compared with
the jobber, BLAINE, or the sectional agi-
tator, MORTON. His character, his ability,
his standing In the Senate. his long expe-
rienoe In Congress, his devotion to the
party, and his ready defence Of Its cause
under all circumstances, entitled him to
RECOGNITION. But he was discarded be-
cause New York urged his nomination,
and an unknown, negative politician, with
out q single qualification TO recommend
him, was thrust over Mr.. CoNKLINas head
as @ compromise.
The Democrats were far wiser ut st.
Louis, and In the face Of mighty clamor
10 and out Of the press, did not hesitate to
confront the responsibility OF doing right.
They were tainted with the charge that
New York candidates had thrice been de-
feated In succession, and that Gov. TILDEN
would be beaten by the desertion Of dis
contented factions. They answered on the
nrst ballot with great majority, and on
the second with unanimous nomination.

OF all men. In his own person, and by his

that reform was not only practicable in
roofing out corruption and In reducing
expenditures, but that the very opposition
which II excited, however formidable In
organization, wealth, or local power. was
one OF the great sources of Its success. II
overleaps party lines, and oompes the
better social elements to unite In self
defence against the worse. The people Of
New York, who owe 90 much to Mr.. TIL
DEN, will not forget his eminent services
when they go to the polls In November.
And there are thousands of Republicans
who will not fail to remember that State
pride Is also concerned in this contest, be-
cause II great reformation is to be
achieved through the election of Gov.
TILDEN, 1t will enhance the satisfaction TO
know that the State which leads In the
Union will also lead in the good work by
which the administration OF public affairs
Is to be regenerated.

While nearly all Of the accounts given of

While nearly all Of the accounts given OF
the massacre Of our troops by the Sioux agree
10 the statement that the body OF Gen. CUSTER
escaped muti'a alton, the story Of one scout
which has been teiegraphed, and had an extern
sive circulation through the press, Is that the
heart Of the General was cut out by the savages
and secured as trophy. The aforementioned
version Of the matter 10 undoubtedly correct,
but the other story Is easily accounted for.
Gen. CUSTER had been In the habit Of wearing
bis hair In long flowing locks, and was known
as the Yellow Haired Chief among the Indians,
When he was last In this city, however, on his
way to Join the Inflated expedition In whi CHI he
met bis death. his hair was cut short according
20 the prevalent fashion. But his brother, Col.
Tom CUSTER, wore his hair long. as the General
formerly wore his and there being q striking
resemblance in other respects between the ap-
pearanoe OF the two brothers, II 10 probable that
the victorious Sioux mistook the Colonel for
the formidable leader whom they have 90 often
met to their sorrow, and mutilated the body Of
the former under this mistaken suppositiou.
One OF the reports also SAYS that while the body
OF Gen. CUSTER was unmutilated, the heart had
been cut out from that OF bis brother.

At West Point, Virginia, on the Fourth
OF July the Centennial anniversary OF American

To insure the complete success OF Mr..
rrLDkr In the November election, he needs
emily to draw OF from the ranks Of the
Republicans fair share of those members
Of that party who honestly desire reform
IN the administration OF the Government.
The oflceholders aside, though they are
the nucleus Of the party and Its chief
controllers, the mass of the Republicans
are sincere and honest men, who cast their
votes from moral conviction. They are
aisgusted with Grantism. and ashamed OF
IT. fruits. They wish to be rid of II, to cut
away root and branch. While party
prejudice will, of course, hold n majority
Of them and soduce them into voting
for HAYES, a great minority will sacri-
Zoe party pride TO their convictions of
Auty, and vote for TILpEN as the true rep
resentative of the reform they 80 devoutly
pray for. The indications that TILDEN
will get many Republican votes are many.
He has himself received scores OF letters
and kilograms from representative Repub-
hcans volunteering their support, and the
newspapers bring us word of many others.
Tho Germans, who have long been loyal TO
the Republican party, will mainly vote for
TILDEN as the only sure way of accom- plish-
ing the reform which they so resolutely
demand. CARL ScHURz alone. of all their
leading men, is for HAYES, and his defec-
don from the cause Of reform has cost him
tho respect and confidence of the more
earnest and thoughtful OF his countrymen,
who will refuse to listen to his call.
Meantime TILDEN will get the undivided
Democratic vote. The Republicans obtain
no allies from that quarter, while they
furnish recruits for the TILDEN host The
Democrats will TO q man cast their ballots
for the st. Louis ticket 1t will not en-
counter opposition Of any sort within the
party, but rnther unanimous and enthu-
siastic support. TILDEN will also get that
great floating independent vote which
brings victory to one or the other party
according rs IL throws its ballots. He
represents statesmanship, principle, and
reform in politics. things which attract
Che support Of the thoughtful and con-
pcientious body of voters who constitute
this Independent host. He will also draw
70 the polls great number of business
men and men of leisure who often do not
vote at all. They are mortified at the
preset condition Of politics, and suffer in
purse because Of its consequences on bust
meas and investments. They will put in
their ballots for TrLDEN next November.
and swell the majority on which he will
hide into the White House.
These things all harbinger success. We
anticipate and confidently predict the
election Of TrLDES by large electoral
and popular majority, and the dawning Of
. new and better era In the administra-
Non Of the Government.
