DEATH ornIss HULETT.

Miss Alta N. Hnlett, who had gained
celebrity as lawyer in Chicago, died in
San Diego, California. last week, OF
quick consumption. She took cold last
september. and in few weeks symp-
toms Of lung disease appeared. which
made It imperative that she should seek a
restoration OF health in more favorable
climate than Chicago. In November she
went TO San Francisco and from there to
San Diego, where she died. The fatal
disease was hereditary in her family.
Miss Hulett studied law in Chicago, was
admitted TO tho bar at Mt. Vernon in
1874, and has practiced in the
former city ever since. Vi her
success in her profession, the Chicago
Tribune says: "She had gained hosts OF
friends and an enyiable practice. She
was wholly engrossed in her profession,
aud was possessed OF great ambition, an
apparently fne constitution, and indom-
liable energy. She bade fair to win a
niche in the temple OF fame. More than
this. she was spurred on by the thought
that she was pioneer. in new track
for women. Even those who felt that
she was working outside Of womsn's
sphere were compelled to respect her ear
nestness, ability, and worth. She pos.
sessed in an unusual degree some OF the
characteristics which are supposed TO be-
long to the sterner sex, and they contrib
uted no doubt 70 her success. She was
fond ofcool reasoning, and liked the
contests Of the forum, and she often
said she was not made 10 be married"

been iruitless, and before this time, in
my opinion, hurricane OF war would
have been sweeping over the land.
Hope deferred has sickened the hearts
of Southern men. do not understand
nor do appreciate the delay OF Presi-
dent Hayes. He ought not to hesitate.
The whole country expected this great
and good work at his hands. Passionate
men are heaping invectives upon the
heads OF those Democrats who voted to
stand bv the execution OF the electoral
bill. This pains me, but causes no re-
gret for my action.

them in these letters. An honest con-
struction of their Language means that

Carolina should be restored.

could not have entire control they would
have nothing at all. and the issue will be
that the latter will be their portion. PACK
ARD, of all others, has been uuwise. II
when he saw how things were shaping, he
had early turned his office over to the man
the people had resolved should govern
them, he might have made his future IN the
State one OF eminence. He held the van
tage ground, and had the means of secur-
ing his own popularity and a large follow.
ing by refusing to hold out against the will
of the people. But his motto was dut
Cnsar aut Rulius, and he will be The vic.
tim Of his own ambition and folly.
What advantage the WARMoTu resolu-
tiops are to secure, however religious'y
observed, is more than will be generally
discerned. 1t is said 10 be TO preserve the
self.respect Of the members of the body
adopting them, but We apprehend that 1t
would be nearer the fact to say that 1t Ia to
gain by show of resistance what Is seen
TO be impossible by other means. 1t Is not
at all likely, however, that the stand taken
will operate upon the minds of the other
parties to the negotiations with half the
force 1t is fell by those assuming it. Unless
there is rescission the overtures will cease
and the end is nigh. II there is rescission
the aggregated self.respect Of the body
will be more open to question than before.
So, in our judgment II is clear that the
resolutions only indicate the discontinue
and humiliation Of their indorsers, having
no other perceivsble effect.
In any case it would seem that the labors
of the Commission can no longer subserve
any good purpose. and II is more than
probable they will now terminate, leaving
matters where they we're in the beginning,
to adjust themselves after the retirement o'
the troops. Aud VIC predict that WAR

differently disposed as to seats in the Legis

ABOLLSHING THE ARMY.


This talk about abolishing the army is
quite as foolish as majority Of the twad-
die which emanales from the brains Of the
average Rensationalist. We might as con-
sisteutly talk of sbolishing the Government
of our fathers. There is no Power ON the
face of earth but what finds 1t both wise
and expedient to maintain standing army.
1t is absolutely necessary for the peace and
safety of nations. A great country like
our own, with its fsr.reaching borders,
needs an army to police its frontiers and
protect its settlements from the incursions
of nomadic tribes. There arc many other
uses to be made Of small standing army
In a country like our own. and made to
pay the Government. Since 1866 the De-
mocracy have made the land hidsous with
their loud mouthings against sustaining the
army. They are continually crying for q
reduction, and as often as they cry the
same has been yielded to them, until the
army is o miserable skeleton, a disgrace To
a patton of forty millions Of people, who
can well afford to keepa good and effective
s'aLding army. There will be only one
time when the United States can tfford
