Y The Leavenworth Times, Hayes organ,
edited by Postmaster, and presumed to speak
by authority, rebukes Democrats for opposing
Hayes 1t says that Hayes is carrying ont the
principles of the Tilden platform, and is there
fore entitled to the support of Democrats. This
entirely justifes Republicans in opposing Hayes,
for having betrayed the party that elected him.

An INTERvIEw.-sloshing around, the other
day, with powerful magnifying glass, trying to
find Hayes man In Doniphan County besides
the talented editor of the Rnllefn, (see his edit
orials) we were told that Col. d. n. Johnston
was q Hayes man. Knowing him for . lifelong
and consistent Democrat, under all circnmstan-
ces, We ventured to interview him; and be is
very approaehable and sociable, we fouud no
difficulty in breaking the ice.
s''Colossl," said we, "they say you are Hayes
man.
"Yes, sir" he promptly answered.; Il am
Hayes man, and endorse his policy"
81 sappose, then, if the election were to be
held over, that you, with the present light be-
fsre you, would vote for him ."
"pog on it~ (the Colonel is strict church
member, aud the hardest language he uses is
'dog ON it.") "Dog Oh it! why do you always
talk about votingi 1 didn't say would vote
for him, but that endorse his policy. As you
Republicans swiDdled MS out of Tilden, I am
willing to use Hayes to carry out Tilden's pol
ICY"
"Then, it is his dividing the Republican party
that you endorseT
81 endorse his Civil Service Reform. The best
thing he has done, is to prohibit Office holders
from taking part in politics. only wish he
would 60 little further, and prohibit every dog
on'd Republican ofiice-holder from voting, then
We Democrats could beat you, every time. Ha!
ha! hap
And that's the way Democrats endorse Hayes.
.g The 12th being the anniversary of the
battle of the Boyne, was prolific of those dis
graceful scenes for which the day has long been
notorious. The wrost time was in Montreal,
where the Catholics attacked the Orangemen,
killing several. One man was killed while res
cuing woman from the mob. At his funeral,
on Monday, another disturbance occurred, in
which the Catholics killed boy. In these 12th
of July riots, the Catholics are not wholly to
blame. The battle of the Boyne was disastrous
| defeat of the Irish Catholics. Celebrating the
victory, is in the nature of growing over and
| taunting the descendants of the defeated. 1t
would make almost anybody mad, especially
fiery fellows like the Irish. An attempt to glori-
| fy OH the anniversary of the battle of Bull Run
or of the assassination of Lincoln, would cause a
riot in any city in the North.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The actual progress made towards
the achievement of the main object in
view is comparatively small; and SO
far as the belligerants themselves are
concerned, If left unin1uenced by 9th
er powers, it is not possible to say when
their Infatuated passions will be satia-
ted. 1t has not proved 50 easy'to van
quish the Turks as Russia at first
vainly imagined it would be; and what
was ostensibly begun by the latter
Power as a war for ameliorating the
condition of the Christian subjects of
Turkey, has magnified itself into a
grand duel, in which the aim on each
side has become to exhaust and exter
inmate its antagonist. With the
Turks it is really, and has been from
the first, war of self-defence; with
the Russians a benevolent intention
has begenerated into the selfish pur-
pose ofoppression and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
But the combatant have proved them
selves to be pretty equally matched in
resources, and strategy, and skill; and
whereas the Russian Emperor hoped
to repeat the proud boast Of Caesar,
reni, vidi, vici, his legions have been
mercilessly slaughtered almost under
his own eyes, and more than once it
has been doubtful whether in the land
they had invaded they would not all
find dishonored grave.

Death of John w. HornOr.

We take the following notice of the
death of John w. Horner from the
Parkersburg State Journal for the
benefit ofhis friends who may be found
among our readers:
Mr.. Horror died at his residence
near this city on Tuesday morning
last, at 7 o'clock. The deceased dur
ing the last year Or more of his life
passed through terrible ordeal of af-
Fiction. For long time his estimable
wife was a constant yet patient suffer
er from a most painful malady; all
that husband, family and friends
could do was done to alleviate the
bodily anguish Of her declining years.
Recently, however, she passed from
suffering to her reward. Before this
sad bereavement overlook him, how
ever, Mr.. Hornor had been Frustrated
by a severe illness, which, with but
brief intervals, continued to the hour
of his death, the immediate cause of
which was dropsy.
But few men were better known in
this part of the State than the deceased,
he having, spent the whole of an active
life in this and neighboring counties.
He was a man ofstrong natural endow-
ments, and with much more than Or
binary force of character, and was led
by inclination as well as from sense
of duey to fill the various positions of
minister, member Of the legal profes-
sion, and editor. He also filled sever
al positions of public trust to which
great responsibility and severe labor
were attached, discharging his duties
with entire satisfaction. In the DAYS
Of the Wing party he was an ardent
leader in that organization, but since
that party dissolved he acted with the
Democracy, and was recognized as
among its most influential advocates,
as is evinced by the Sentinel. which
by the aid of bis vigorous pen became
an influential organ Of the party in this
State. In religion, Mr. Horror was
connected with the M. E. Church,
South. His funeral took place, yes
terday, and was attended by an i'm
mense concourse of friends and neigh
bors DESTROYS of paying the last tribute
of respect to one of their oldest and
most respected fellow citizens.

Brigham YOung's Tomb.

The vault in which the remains are
to be deposited is a thoroughly sub
stantial structure. built by Morris Il
Evans after plan and instructions
left,by President Young. The!founda-
ton, base, walls and cover are of
square blocks laid in regular courses,
all joints being broken. The blocks
are all drilled and fastened together
vertically and horizontally with heavy
steel rods, and loaded. These walls
are also joined to the base course by
steel rods inserted diagonally. The
cover or roof will Ibe of finch sandstone
slabs, and over the joints of those
lighter slabs will be laid and the whole
roof will notsonly be fastened togeth-
er, as are the walls, but will also be
tied down by the same means and Gov
cred with earth. The vault is so con
structed that after it is once closed it
will be impossible to remove a single
stone from the structure. The whole
will be ardcemented, outside and
in. The interior dimensions or the
measurement of the chamber are:
Length, 7 feet l l inches; width, feet
height, 8 feet 3 inches. The floor is
single stone, in'which there is bev-
eled indenture or trough-like basin.
The coffin, the bottom Of which is per-
forated, rests on this basin. The vault
is partly below the surface and partly
above.-SaH Lake Herald

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. II.

w ASdlNGION, II. u, sept. II.
The following application for office has
been filed at the Department of Justice:
"The undersigned, an honorably dis
enlarged and wounded soldier native
"and citizen of Arkansas hereby APP
"plies for appointment as Marshal of the
Eastern District of Massachusetts. He
"does this to assist in the restoration of
"comity and good feeling between the
sections, the Marshal of Arkansas for
"the last eight years being citizen of
Massachusetts
The appointment will not be made
until thereturn of Mr. Hayes.from Ohio,
where, as the dispatche inform us, he
is explaining his policy"
What familiar sound that word "pol-
icy' has, by the way, to those who re>
member the events of ten years ago.
And how all the events of the year re.
semble those of that time. Neither John.
son or Hayes was elected President; both
of them pursued course distasteful to
the leaders and the party which had sup
ported them; both adopted the plan of
going around the country, in charge of
politicians and under the direction of
politicians, to defend the "policy" they
had proclaimed. 1t will be interesting
to trace the parallel still further, as
events drive Hayes from one act to an,
other during the remainder of his term.
Sixty-three years ago this month Bal>
timore was successfully defended from a
British attack by land and by water.
The 18th inst the few survivors of the
fight, known as the 'sOld Defenders Gel
ebrated the event appropriately but quiz
city in the city they preserved. Much
interest was felt throughout the State in
the celebration, but Marylanders have
never been noisy in sounding their own
praises. May these gallant old men live
long to enjoy the general regard of their
fellew citizens
To what was generally believed of the
corruption of Republican officeholders in
South Carolina may be added the spe~
cific statements of Ex-State Treasurer
Parker. Ifone man, prominent or influ-
entail in the Republican party in that
State, has escaped what appears to be
well founded accusation of corruption, I
do not recall his name. Now let the
people of Louisiana get at the facts in re-
gard to their late rulers from 1866 to 1867,
and proceed, as the South Carolinians
propose to do, to the punishment of the
guilty. 1t is no good excuse for delay
it ought rather to be an incentive to the
prompt performance of their duty-that
the investigation in their State may eff,
feet the position Of high officials outside
of the State.
The law provides an appeal to United
States Courts In case any importer is re-
quired by Custom Officers to pay more
than the importer thinks is the proper
duty - goods. The unjust charge would
be made, the wronged party would APP
ply TO the Court, and upon the judgment
of the Court the United States would
promptly refund the money. There has
