WASHINGTON, April 49, Thomas Jefferson's
grave at Monticello is to be adorned with a
$1,000 m onument. Sam Cox took advantage
of this being Jefferson's birthday anniyer,
ardor the bill went through. Foster was dis
posed to object, because it was disgrace that
Jefferson's grave had not been better pre-
served, but he was willing to vote $4,000 on
the spot for a monument to be erected In
Washington. He was persuaded to withdraw
his objections, however. 1t Is an easy matter

The Murderer of rhir,y.rwo Men.

In Longley, the desperate who has muir
dered 80 men, and is now waiting to be
hanged in Lee county, Texas the boys of
New York may studyin real life one of those
characters so often depicted In cheap and
sanguinary romances. Longley is described
by the GlobeDemocrat as scarcely yet in
his oath year, with dark hair worn rather
long and slightly parted st the side; coal
black whiskers and beard that shade a fine
olive complexion nose rather after the
Greek model teeth white and beautiful as
woman's; eyes black as midnight that seem
literally alive with expression. which their
possesserc seems little inclined to curb or
suppress He is confined in a dungeon ''as
dark and dismal as any pictured in the pages
of romance. A massive iron door from the
rear opens into a corridor dimly lighted by
rusty iron gratings. At the further end is
the cell of the desperate, the strong iron
door of which is secured by massive locks,
and whose walls are also massive" This
handsome highwayman and man slayer-a
Dick Turpin and Claude Duval combined
will undoubtedly swing from the gallows.
The court of appeals has confirmed his SEN
tence, and there is no further hope for him.

THE FLORIDA PRESIDENTIAL
FRAUDS.

Yesterday the telegraph flashed the news
to the coSntry that the two Florida manipu-
lators OF the presidential returns in that
state had turned states evidence and ex-
poseG the ways by which the democrats had
been cheated out of that state. These con-
LESSONS confirm the charges of fraud made
and proved by the democrats at the time,
and place the republican party in the posi-
ton OF being the most unprincipled and
gigantic machine of corruption and robbery
of modern times. The fraud was denied,
then defended. What course now the virtu-
Gus organs Of that party will pursue remains
to be seen. After these exposures how can
that party go before the people of this coun.
try and ask their support? How can it de-
fend and uphold the rewarding OF Mr..
Stoughton, by the appointment of minister
to Russia, for his part in these transactions?
How can il longer clothe invirtues robes
the characters of Wells and Anderson, of the
Louisiana returning board? How can it
paint in glowing language the mission, vet
unfinished, of the party that prostituted
truth, exalted falsehood and debased power
to defraud the American people out OF their
president? How can such party educate
public opinion TO ways OF honesty and deeds
of virtue? Whatan influence to be exercised
on the rising generation What an example
for posterity. What an exposure to the
world Language fails to depict the villainy
of this great crime. Imagination fails to
foresee It's consequences. Denunciation even
pals before its enormity. And yet the organ
OF the delectable party characterizes demo-
Gratis thieves, robbers, assassias, pimps,
tramps, outcasts. Can deDravity sink to a
lower level? Can treason be questioned in
these transactions2 We have heard before
this OF the conuptions and stealngs of par
ties; but in this case we have the first in
stance where party actually stole the gov
eminent from the people. The American
people are now ruled by a par
ty who, after stealing their wealth,
have actually appropriated their gov
eminent to its base purposes and re-
warded with honorable and lucrative posi-
tions the authors and the tools of this great
crime. Mr.. Conklingin his celebrated Inter-
view declared that the presidency was sur
AOunooU " suNn a DiaSA pan Oh crime
stained vlllainy that it could not be kept
secret. Time would expose it. HIS predic-
ton has been fulfilled. We now expect to
see the Journal put on its white and shining
robes of virtuous Indignation and prove that
it was the democrats who put up this job.
Power once abused in a republic becomes
in the hands Of its usurpers but an engine
Of oppression to the people. The nightmare
of republican rule must succumb to the
sunlight of the intelligence of its wrong
doings.

A Poem by General Butler.

April 18th was the s7th anniversary OF
General William o. Buffers birth. The fol.
lowing beautiful lines in reference to the
month OF his birth were written by the gen.
eral many years ago, but have never before
appeared in print:
TO thee, fair month, owe my birth,
And oft thoult come To glad the earth,
When all forgotten 1 shall lie,
Forgetful OF thy sun and sky;
Yet hearts as warm and hopes as vain
Will great thee mid thy bowers again,
Elate to run life's fevered race
To dnd, like me, a resting place.
But is there not, far, far away,
Beyond the realms of time and day,
An April of perennial bloom
That breaks the winter OF the tomb
Where hope again may spread her wing
Fearless of blight or whitening?
Teach me, thou great mysterious Power
., teach me while l journey here,
To toll for wreaths that bloom but there

(Charitan Leader.

The Patriot accuses us of counting the
greenbackers, witha view TO matrimonial
alliance between them and the democracy.
The charge is to some extent true, and we do
so for their own good. We would much
rather see them respectfully united with the
gallant descendants of illustrious democratic
sires, than prostituied in the embrace of
modern radicalism. The democrats have
their affections, but the radicals have the
most money, and the greenbackers can't go
1t singly and alone and accomplish anything;
therefore common sense teaches them that
they should unite with the party that is
most congenial to their tastes and principles.

delinquent like Belknap rejoined that he

be only two methods of getting living in
Washington-one by robbing the govern

when they were caught. The judges expe-

thieves must be collected strictly in adj
