She died here, and is inferred in the
NJ. L. cemetry, near the University.
One of the sons died here and is in
tered in the same place, also daugh-
ter named Charlotte. Mrs. President
Hayes, therefore is a full cousin of
Mrs. Samuel Sears.
The reductions in the expenditures
of the government, made by the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives at
both sessions, amount to over 4Omil-
lions. These reductions were effect
ed in the teeth of the most strenuous
opposition ola Republican Senate and
the heads of departments. With It
Democratic Senate a saving of one
hundred millions could easily have
been effected without dotrimont to
the public service.
The Martinsburg Statesman says
that Col Ward Lamon wants Presi-
dent Hayes to send him to Mexico
Minister to Mexico is not just now
an overly desirable situation, but
there are several persons that would
like it nevertheless.
viii our truly loyal Postmaster
feel Inconsistent to accept commits
sion signed by a rebel brigadier-gcner,
al, who fought four years to destroy
the government, and then worked to
elect a rebel-sympathizer President?
We believe his qualms of conscience
will COMPEL him to resign.
The carpet-baggers arc in a rage
because Hayes has virtually declared
to the world that there isn't a repub-
lican in the South fit to go into his
Cabinet. They say such nice pre-
tentions is not becoming in a man
who accepts a stolen position.
Hayes Postmastor-General was u
Brigadier in the rebel army, support
ed Tilden for President and declared
his belief in a public speech in the
Senate that Tilden was honestly and
lawfully elected. How is that for
"bloody shirt" disciples?
They say Hayes really means to
have an honest administration
Taking a Democrat into his cabinet
does point in that direction.
What a howl would have gone up
from radical Threats if it had been
Tilden who had selected a "rcd hand
ed rebel General to appoint the Post
masters and control the mails.
The new President of the Univer-
sity, Rev, Thompson, will enter upon
his duties April list. May he do even
better than his warmcst friends hope;
then his well,mconing critics will
rejoice in their own disappointment.
Fred. Douglass, the white headed
negro orator. is to be appointed Mar,
shall of the District of Columbia, by
Hayes, The Office is worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
1t is interesting and encouraging
to watch the delight of Republican
newspapers inthoir Fraudulent Prcsi-
dent. Whatever no does seems to
please them; and yet a good many
things will happen during the next
four years.
The new license law enacted BY
the Legislature just adjourned, is
very stringent one, and bears so
heavily upon dealers in intoxicating
liquors that it is hardly probable
many will wish to take the risks
Next week We will give the amend
ed law.
At11 o'clock on Tuesday night
March 18th, the new hotel at the
White Sulphur Springs caught fire
from q kitchen Auc, and was totally
destroyed. The Adams Express Co.'S
Office was also burned, and some goods
lost The ticket Office was burned,
but the Agent saved the valuablcs.
The property was owned by Peyton
& Co., and insured for $4,000. Loss
estimated at $4,000
