An extraordinary Outrage upon the grave is
reported from Indiana. The body of the late
President Illilison's son was stolen from the
resting lace in which il had just been laid,
and was unexpectedly discovered by the dead
mans son in dissectngro0m under most
shocking circumstances. y jail yawns for
some of these robbers of the tomb.
No pains should be spared to bring to JUS
tice the miscroants who placed instructions
on the Prospect Park and COney Island Rail-
road, and thereby wrecked a train, killing
five or six persons. The train was not run to
carry passengers, and had only laboling men
on board. Hence the crime could scarcely
have been committed for the sake of plumber
its motive has probably been malice.
Even the heavy rains of yesterday did not

cises of Decoration Day, though they took
something from their beauty and i'm
pres,iveness. The parade i'll this city
was exceptionally fine in spite of
the Indictment weather, and reports from all
parts of the Union show that, though the
same unfriendly sky covered almost the whole
North, there was a marked growth, as here, in
the popular observance OF this beautiful cere-
mony.
The controversy over the condition Of the
streets, which may, before il is concluded
disGualify some of our Aldermen from again
holding public Office, has drawn attention TO
the extent of the distractions which block up
business thoroughfarcs. An article, printed
elsewhere, shows how between the store
keepers, who think the public has no rights
and the squatters, who look upon all sidewalks
"a their private property, the pedestrian is
left with scarcely place to put his feet, un-
less it he IN the already oyercrowded street.
All the parties in Pcnnsy lvania have made
ND their platforms and tickets and sleep
placidly upon them awaiting the opening of
the Fail campaign. The strength Of the two
old partlc, is wel known, and the point OF
doubt i, the degree to which they are to be
affected by that new party which Is to assume
great proportions, according to some and, ac-
cording to others, has already seen the height
of its brief growth. A letter on another page
considers the prospects of the National organ
ization in that state, and gives the sangune

Mr.. Bryant gave such recent proof of the
striking preservation of his mental and phys
zeal powers in his speech at the unveiIng of
the Mazzni monument. that it viii be
n shock to the whole community TO
learn that he Is now dan serousy
ill. The attack which his physicians
seem to regard as so serious is undoubtedly
due 10 his exposure TO the sun while making
the address just referred to; and, though there
will be universal hope that he may
vet recover from the blow. his advanced
ace alone is sufficient cause for much
anxiety. The people of this city have a
deep interest in Mr.. Bryant simply as a man.
