How utterly reckless and unreliable the

be seen by his assertion that there are three
millions of wurkingmen out Of employment

Fossil Discoveries In tho West.

The Omaha Bee gives an interview
with Prof. S. w. Williston, of Yale
College, about some remarkable fossils
which have been discovered by Prof.
Marsh in the vicinity of Como, Wyoming,
Colorado Springs, Canyon City and Nor
rison, Colorado. He said:
Of course you are aware they are all
petrifed. The bones found exhibit ami
mails of the reptile species of nearly all
sizes, from that of cat up to one six
ty feet in height. The name of the an
imal found at Como is what is termed
the dinosaur. 1t belongs to the reptile
species of the crocodile order. The re-
mains give evidence that the animal
stood up on its hind legs, somewhat
like kangaroo, and of course its head
must have been about as high as the
Grand Central Hotel of your city when
he stood up. There were large num-
Der of these giant reptiles. We found
one in Colorado that Prof. Marsh esti-
mates must have been about one hun
dred feet in length. We found and col
lected great many different remains OF
the same general class, but belonging to
different species. We must have ship
ped from Colorado, Wyoming and Kan
sas from 300 to 400 specimens Of the
dinosaur and about one thousand of
what are known by the name of ptero-
dactyle. The latter are species of fly
ing reptile or dragon, that existed about
the same age as the dinosaurs. We
found a specimen of one whose wings
were from thirty to forty feet from tip to
tip. We found seventeen different spe-
cies of this kind in the cretaceous or
chalk formations of Western Kansas.
We also found remains of six species of
toothed birds. Most of these same
character of fossils are found to lesser
extent in the cretaceous formations Of
England and also in Germany. The
time when these animals existed must,
of course, have been hun dreds of thou
sands of years before the age of man.

this matter acted upon strict considera-
tion of his duties under the law; but it
would not be strange if in some quarters
political significance should be attribu-

BILE that Attorney General Trains opinion
should be made public in order that the
reasoning upon which this Judgment and
decision is based may be knnwn But it
is already known that the authorities of

furnished the grounds for the suspicion
that they. wanted Kimpton not as GRIM
inal but as witness.

In his action in the case of Kimpton,

other grounds. Itappears to be strain.
ing of executive clemency to withhold
Kimpton from the authorities who have
a Just claim upon him for trial upon the
charges which they have preferred.
From the augusta Chronicle.
Of course, Governor Hampton cannot
bring the criminal to justice so long as
he remains within the jurisdiction of the
State of Massachusetts. The constitution
declares the law, but provides no remedy
for violation of its provisions. But if
Governor Hampton is unable to get the
body of Kimpton whilo it remains in this
New England Alsatis, he can and should
adopt measures of retaliation.
Governor Hampton should cause it to be
known that unless Kimpton is given up,
no reguisition of the Governor of Massa-
chusetts for the surrender of malefactors
will be honored by the government of
South Carolina; that he will exercise the
same discretionary power" in such mat
tiers as,was exercised by Governor Rice
to protect Massachusetts rogues who may
seek shelter in the State. This is what
Governor Hamilton should do,

The Lee Statue.

About the 22d of last month contract
was made in Lexington, Rockbridge
County, Va, for all the brick and stone
work Of building which is to receive
the monument of the great Confederate
General, designed by Valentine. This
monument is tomb bearing the recum-
bent figure, in remarkable likeness, of
General Lee. He is in uniform, the
sabre has just slipped from his grasp,
and his cloak partly covers his limbs,
quietly composed. The attitude is per-
haps rather of deep rest than of death.
1t is beautiful work of art, and worthy
of the effort made in Lexington to give
it an appropriate shelter. The remains
of General Lee, of his wife and of
other deceased members of his family
will be inferred in large vault immedi-
ately under the apartment which will re-
ceive the statue. After the election of
the General to the Presidency of the
Washington and Lee University in
Lexington sheie was built in the grounds
of the institution, and mainly through
the efforts OF its President, smatl church

into the vault, two others to the base

opens into the Office of General Lee. It

is carefully preserved, cleaned or busted,
and the visitor sees it exactly as the
General did for the last time. All the
new building accords with the present
church, but it is of very superior con-
struction and entirely fire. proof. The
old chancel arch remains; cores

ranged with heavy iron sliding doors,
and every precaution has been taken to

square, is to be built inside of Baltimore

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the step
ping stone to health. When the system
lacks vitality, the various organs flag in
their duty, become chronically irregular,
and disease is eventually instituted. To
prevent this unhappy state Of things, the
debilitated system should be built up by
the use of that inimitable tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which invigorates the di-
ge,tive organs, and insures the thorough
conversion of food into blood of nourish-
ing quality, from whence every muscle,
of vigor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber,
the nerves grow strong and calm, the de-
spondency begotten of chronic indigestion
and an uncertain state of health disappears,
and that sallow appearance of the skin Pc
culiar to habitual invalids, and persons de-
ficicnt in vital energy, is replaced by a more
becoming tinge.

FRAUDULENT BONDS IN COURT
The following are the closing paragraphs
of Judge Mackey's decree in the Charles
ton coupon rnandamus case, which in
yolved the question whether the coupons
of certain bonds, pronounced fraudulent
by the Bond Committee, should be re-
ceived in payment of taxes. Judge
Mackey held that they were tainted with
fraud, and refused the mandamus. We
are informed thatif the principle Of this
decree is sustained on the appeal which
has been taken, the people will be reliey-
ed of two millions Of dollars bonds. So
mote it be:
~ but take judicial notice Of the pub
lie statutes when state that the present
General Assembly have provided for the
levy and collection of a tax sufficient to
pay the accrued and accruing interest on
ali unquestionably valid bonds of the
State, that is, upon all bonds issued pur-
suant to the terms of the Consolidation
Act, in exchange for the bonds and certifi'
Gates of. stock designated therein.
.'rhe State of South Carolina has thus
exhibited the most exalted regard for
the public faith in consenting TO recog-
nize even in their transmitted form, bonds
that were chiefly issued and dealt in by
those who speculatcd in the chance of
expunging her civilization, and enriched
themselves by the sad contributions of
the public calamity.
"She may we'll therefore, be permitted
to challeng these securities for cause cs-
pccially as for this purpose, and in the in
terest of justice she valves her sovereignty
and consents to become defendant in
her own court. She is entitled upon ev-
cry principle of law and equity to re-
ouire that they shall be subjected to Sc

visiting organizations participated in the
parade, which began at noon. The pro-

military regiment of Chicago headed the
procession, and was followed by the
Presidential party in carriages. Then
came the fire companies with numerous
devices ON their engines, the Hook and
Ladder Fire Patrol and the Rescue COM
panies in full uniform. Continuous
shouts greeted the procession, and were
especially marked when the carriage con-
taining the President standing with un-
covered head passed along. The recep-

KILLED BY A MANS BITE.-The
death of NJ. J. Russell, of 2l4 Franklin
street, Greenpoint, from the effects of a
bite on his finger, inflicted by Thomas
Kelley, one of his tenants, has attracted
great attention in that locality, and there
was large throng at the inquest at the
police station in Greenpoint avenue last
night. Drs. James R. Taylor, E. G. Les
lie and Valentine Mott, of Bellevue Hos
pital, gave the history of the case after
It came into their hands. The bite was
inflicted on the 23d of March last, in a
fight between the two men, and some six
weeks later, after the injury had been
sadly neglected by Russell, he appeared
in the hospital. The finger was amputa-.
ted at the second joint, in presence of
the class, at a clinic in Bellevue. On
July 20 it was decided to amputate the
finger at the third joint, and it was then
discovered that the necrosis had extended
to the metacarpal bone, which was also
taken out. The wound was carefully
attended to up to the time of Russells
death, on the 10Th ult.-M Y Star.
