"Mackley, of the Jackson Standard,
has grievance against the editor of the
Republic. We once called him a dys-
peptic. Now if he will put his hand on
his stomach and solemnly swear that his
digestive apparatus is sound and in good
working order, (or was at the time refer
red to, 1--WE will withdraw the charge. We
desire to be at peace with our brethren. "
"We are truly sorry that Bayard drinks
beer, but we have no idea that he drinks
enough of it to affect his capacity to dis
charge his duties as the representative
of the United States in the court of Ber-
lin. With his knowledge of the German
language and German people, familiarity
with public affairs on both continents,
intelligence, learning. culture and ability,
Mr.. Taylor is remarkably well fitted for
the position in which he has been placed
by the President and Senate. Perhaps
no American equals him in the combina-
ton of qualities which he possesses. We
know nothing of his personal habits, ex-
cept that he is not an Incorporate man
and is not physically disqualified by
duties. We should be glad to know that
he was teetotaller, but neither Mackley
nor ourselves must expect that the rest
of manhind will be as good % as we are,
all at once. We must allow our sinful
fellow creatures little time to catch up

up Otherwise his health is excellent
and his friends and physicians think his
fear of near death to be without good
cause.
He is perfectly tractable and labors un-
der the impression that he is very i'll,
complaining at times of trouble in the
head He is aware of the watch upon his
movements, and asks permission to go
out with the docility of child. He Is
unable to tell anything about his trip,
and can not recall any incidents on the
way, although he was eleven days en- route
to San Francisco. Some one had the | ad
taste to intimate that he was to be placed
in an asylum, and this has afforded him
another cause for worriment He will be
properly cared for at his home, in CALI
polls, his condition being that of a per-
fectly harmless individual.
When Colonel Vance disappeared from
this city, many surmises were INDUCED
in. At first, foul play was suspected. and
! detectives set at work to unravel the
mystery surrounding the case. Joseph
| Aleshire, ESQ., an intimate friend, came
| here from Gallipolis, and with the aid of
Captain Knight, gave his whole attention
to the matter. The first trace found of
the missing gentleman, was the fact that
his baggage had been checked to ST. Louis
Immediately proceeding to that city, by
inquring at the railroad ticket offices,
they learned of a PAL ty, answering Col.
Vances description, having purchased a
through ticket to San Francisco.
Tickets were Immediately purchased
for that city, and the pursuers were soon
flying westward over the prairies. AT
Omaha they stopped to reconnoiter, and
while there received telegram from Mrs
Vance stating that she had received word
from party named w. o. Lang, to the
effect that Col. Vance was safe and under
his charge. An exchange of messages
then occurred, and it was arranged that
Mr.. Lang should accompany Col. Vance
back to Omaha, where he would be Joined
by his friends Mr. Aleshire, in the
meantime, returned home, and in few
days Col. Vance was with his friend, Cap
tain Knight, en- route eastward.
Mr.. Lang, who telegraphed to Mrs
Vance about her husband, is the only
person that seems cognizant of the events
of the trip. and strips it of any spirit o
romantic adventure He had previously
known Col. Vance and fell in with hin
on the occasion of this Western trip OIL
the line of the Pacific Railroad. His at
tention was often attracted by strange
actions and remarks on the part of th
Colonel, and he soon determined in hi
own mind that something was wron!
with him. Acting upon this conclusion
he kept a close watch upon the move
ments of Col. Vance, and, upon arrivin
at San Francisco, Immediately telegraph
ed as we have shown, to the gentleman
wife, and concluded arrangements for hi
return home. The coming together c
Mr.. Lang and Col. Vance was fortunat

The Administration newspapers are
bitterly assailing McLin, of the Florida
Returning Board, denouncing him as a
scoundrel, an office-seeker, &c, and de-
claring that his confession" is the result
of disappointment at not getting office
under President Hayes. We believe it
is pertinent to inquire; in this connection,
whose fault it is, that Mr.. McLin failed
to get an Office. Certainly not Mr.. Hayes
for it is recorded in history that, after
the Returning Board of which McLin
was member, gave the electoral vote oi
Florida to Hayes, thus making him
President, Mr.. Hayes sent McLin's name
to the Senate for confirmation, for an
Office but that the Republican Senate
failed to confirm him. The President
friends are forced, by recent develop
ments to admit that, for once, the
stalwart Republicans of the Senate were
right, and the President was wrong

Last week an awful howl was raised by
the Hayes boobies about terrible frauds
in the New York Custom House Hayes
had made an effort to turn out the pres
ent officers, and put in their places some
of his pets and tools. Conkling stopped
this little game, and then the cry was
raised that the present officers are steal
ing, and that Conkling is responsible.
Now comes the N. Y. Tribune and up
sets this last lie of the boobies, in this
way:
Further investigation into the alleged
new Custom House scanSn& shows that
it is certainly not new, and is possibly
not a scandal All the cases complained
of occurred over ten years ago. The whole
system under which the alleged irregu,
larities arose has since been changed
Nothing of the kind has or could have
occurred, under any recent administra-
ton of the Custom House 1t is possible
that these old suits for the refunding of
duties were based in some cases upon
protests improperly filed by attorneys af-
ter the expiration Of the time allowed for
filing them by law. If SO, the Govern
ment would escape on a technicality.-
There seem to be little dispute that the
equities of the case, at any rate, were
generally with the merchants-that they
were overcharged, and that they are in
Justice entitled to the money they are
seeking to get"

One of the Florida Returning Board,
named McLin, has made confession, in
which he says Hayes did not carry the
State of Florida. Another man named
Dennis, also connected with the Florida
returns, confesses to fraud in the returns.
Hayes undertook to reward these chaps
for their dirty work, but the Senate re-
fused to confirm McLin The Hayes
papers have never ceased to abuse Re.
publican Senators for refusing to confirm
Hayes appointments. Now they are
abusing McLin-not because he counted
Hayes in, but because he has told about
the rascaliiy.
Now what can any honest man think
of Hayes2 Well does the Cincinnati
Times remark:
There is not the least doubt that
McLin is worthless, degraded, unprin-
cipled wretch; and how we should ad-
mire, therefore, the judgment of the
President who appointed him Chief JUS
tice of New Mexico"
1--WE are sorely afraid that the Presi-
dent is not good judge of character. He
twice nominated McLin as ChiefJ ustice
of Mexico, and made Dennis an Internal
Revenue Agent There have been no
worse appointments in the past quarter
of century"

The following Is taken from the Gin
cnnati Times of last Saturday:
Readers of the Times will remember
the strange disappearance of the Hon. j.
L. Vance, ex-member of Congress, of Gal
lipolis, few weeks ago, and the subse-
quent announcement of his having turn
ed up in California. He arrived in the
city, this morning. from San Francisco,
in company with Captain Leo A. Knight,
and was met at the depot by his wife and
Joseph Aleshire, Esq, of Gallipolis, who
escorted him to the steamer Potomac, on
which boat he will depart for home to-
night.
The Colonel is evidently insane The
appearance of his face is somewhat wild
and haggard but his dress withal neat
His mind seems capable of nationally
considering some subjects, but when GER
tain matters are touched upon he grows
very fighty.
His friends are Of the opinion that his
brain is affected from two causes, one be-
ing the death OF his little daughter, and
the other a fear of his own early demise.
The latter creates the greatest disturb
ance in his mind and he touches upon it
frequently 1t appears that in an en-
gagement during the war, a shell explod-

From glowing editorial, by that illus
trious statesman. George William Curtis,
in the last number of Harper's Weekly,
we learn that one of the chief glories OF
the present Administration is to have
broken up Congressional dictation of
patronage to the Executive" Therefore
we may presume that it was wholly of his
own judgment that President Hayes
twice appointed McLin as Chief Justice
of New Mexico, and made Dennis an In
ternal Revenue Agent AS both Florida
Senators were warmly opposed to these
appointments, it is not impossible that
as to the Federal appointments in their
own State might, in this instance, have
been the better practice.-[Cincinnati

The following dispatch from Columbus
appeared in the Cincinnati Times of last
Saturday:
More O'Connor business again. 1t
will not down. This forenoon Mr.. OCon-
nor arose to question of privilege. He
said he had not been in the House for
several days. Why he had not been here
it was not necessary to say. He said an
attempt had been made to ruin him, and
no matter what might be done, no far
ther harm could come to John OConnor.
He had struggled for ten years to elevate
himself to position worthy the esteem
of honest men, but now an attempt was
made to drive him into the gutter, and
turn eight years of progress to naught.-
He said the House had refused to accept
resignation he had rendered, not be-
cause he wanted to admit his guilt, but
to end season of strife. He denied the
right of the House to investigate his his
tory previous to his becoming citizen OF
| the United States, and declared he now
withdrew his former letter of resignation.
He said if an investigation should prove
that his record in the past had not been
a correct one, that it could do no one any
good, and would crush him for ever. He
threw himself on the generosity of the
| house, trusting tnaG III Inelr maShahlm
ity they would not further pursue a man
who was crippled in body and poor oi
purse. He said no man was perfect, and
he did not pretend to be, but he had q
sympathy for all men who were seeking
to elevate themselves, and asked for q
like sympathy from his fellow members
Mr.. o Connor than sank, pale and tremb
ling in his chair and tears rolled down
his face He then left the House."
Would it not be just as well for the
House of Representatives to let this mis-
erable man 60 in peace2 Has he not al
ready suffered enough?
