However one may have differed with
the views OF the New York Tribune,
there has always been some satisfaction
in noting the uniform dignity and
courtesy with which 1t has treated all
| questions at public issue. lt Is with
| regret that we observe late tendency
on the part of that journal to grow red in
the faca and indulge in language closely
allied to billingsgate when the subject
OF Hayes title TO his office is mentioned.
1t has inspected Democratic platforms,
and finds, to its indignation, that that
party, embracing very large majority
of the American people, does not intend
TO let the country forget or cond0ne the
usurpation OF last March. This seems to
touch its sore SPOT, and in an article of
half column or less, it uses, with slight
variations, the ancient epithetical vul-
garism about "sitting back on launches
and howling." It's easy to fancy the
Imperialist journals Of France using
this same refined argument toward the
people, if there were any, who raised
the voice of protest after the coup d'etat
of 1851. It is not difficult to fancy them
trying to past the people in some such
words as those Of the Trijitne: ..'The
whole land cries for measures of practi-
cal benefit to trade and industry, but the
| masses sit themselves down on their hind
legs and howl because the government
has not been lett in the hands OF those of
their choosing"
1t is not well for people when they
can be jeered out of the expression OF
| ln,
| In the event OF 1851 and the subsequent
tame acquiescence OF the people, it is the
lesson which the rulers have learned
that it is safe to do such things and that
they will be forgiven. This is already
almost openly proclaimed in France and
the plot is working to soon repeat the
usurpatlon then so signally and so per
manently successful. The lesson will be
repeated here, too, and improved
on. unless there Is sustained
protest and an unllinching
expressed determination that 1t shall
not be. The people owe it to them
selves, alike the voters of both parties t
say that no other attempt shall ever b,
made to wrest from them the results 0
their ballots. 1t is no matter that Haye
has sought to atone for his crime agains

he has taken with regard to restoration
and reform has been in strict conformity
with the platform and policy of tn

THE state oflicers-that is Gov. oui'
lon, Attorney General Edsall and Audi
tor Needles, have filed their report on
the location Of the Southern penitentiary
at Grand Tower. They disapprove the
action OF the commissioners in locating
the penitentiary at that point, and have
referred the whole matter back to them
10 seek out new site. The reasons as
signed by the state officers for their &C,
ton in the premises will be found in an
other column in this issue OF the BrL'
lrrIN. The great majority oil people
down this way believe Grand Tower to
be the best point that could have been
selected for the penitentiary, and the
grounds upon which the state oileers
base their objections to it will not be
considered weighty. But we suppose
there il no alternative, and the decision
Of the state officers will have to be taken
as final. A few people in and about
Springfield have said that It should b'

There Is conflict of evidence
whether the particular spot selected Is or
is not aboye,all danger OF overflow by the
high water oil the Mississippi; river. The
preponderanCc OF evidence Is that it
above the highest water of which we
have any accurate record, but there re-
mains room tor apprehension that this
place may at some time be below high Wa
ter or that at extreme high water it will
be so nearly overlooked as to seriously
interfere with the drainage Of the prison.
The following consideration also we
think should have some weight. In order
that the penicntiary may not be tinan-
cial burden upon the state il IS necessary
that it should be situated TO insure letting
the labor OF the conylctS upon the most
advantageous terms. Its proximity,
therefore, to some great business center
is deemed an important CONSULTATION
which we do not think is adequately
met by the location named in your re
port. For these reasons we are unable
to confirm the location Of the Southern
Illinois Pcnitentiary at Grand Tower
and remit the whole subject tor your
further consideration. Respectfully,
Signed. S. NJ. CULLoM,
