In an interview with reporter for the
Washington Post, the President, 'on again
reading the New York publication, stated
that 1t expressed substantially his views,
but in the notice he was taking OF the dis
turbanccs, the use OF troops was not con-
templated. He simply meantto enforce the
laws, and punish in the courts those who
had been guilty OF indictable offences"
That is, use the Federal courts instead Of
the Federal soldiers.

The Proof.

INUW 1RsUktHE'T
That the President means what he says is
proved by the arrest in Florida and South
Carolina OF persons who interfered with the
United States supervisors in the discharge
OF their duties, and by his declaration that
if any prosecuting attorney faters IN his
work he will be at once removed. Having
entered upon this course, the President is
not likely to depart from it. He will find
the whole North at his back. And for the
neople as we'll as for the President, there
can be no better watchword in this matter
than his own utterance-" The integrity OF
American citizenship must and shall be VIM
dicated.''

A Few Words FROM Al0etaarle.

r.. CHARLOIiESSll.isE, ISOSClilDci 1910.
Editors Dispatch: AS Colonel Richmond
was the only Richmond in the field in the
Ninth congressional district, Of course he
was entitled to the place. am sorry that
YOU intimate that the financial figures were
too great for him to add up during the can
vass, but am glad that YOU give him time
to make the computation. l think you al
low him until the 1st December, 1879. He
must be dull boy if he can't cypher out
the sum in that time.
The chief comfort now have is that Mr..
Butler Mr.. Kearney, and Mrs. jerks are all
living, and that 10 country can be lost with
such trio to save it. And then there is
Fayctre McMu'lin, who is ready to put his
shoulder to the wheel whenever the ear Of
State is stuck in the mud.
We are great people. No emergency
can arise, it seems TO me. when help is not
offered in time to save lis as GODS chosen
people.
Doyou suppose that the Legislature will
have the impudence to meet this winter
The only quiet time we have here is When
neither Congress nor the State Legislature
is in session. Weican stand the congress,
as it is a little further removed from US. out
70 have that and the Virginia Legislature all
at The same time is most too much for poor
human nature to bear.
MIR. Warwick Hammer, who is proml-
nent patriot and politician in our county,
and who has frequently given III, bis pre-
tensions in favor Of inferior men for the
rood of his country, says most emphatical'
| II that il he was the chief OF police in the
civ of Richmond he would consider it to
he his bounden duty to capture every living
member OF the Legislature who voted fol-
IhoIding a session during the coming winter
and nut him to working on the streets or in
lfhe chain-gang. Itwould seem to be a little
rough. but can't say that Warwick is far
wrong. Yours fraternally,

s1,O5O FOR WORK WORTH $50.
A Report tlat Graham and A. f.
Mackay Of Virginia. Got Away
With the Large Amount, Al.
though Not Entitled to 1t.

It's currently reported on the
streets of Virginia City, that attor-
ney Graham-he Of the "Rosebud"
riquet-manage to get away
with $3.50 of the city's money for the
small amount of labor involved in
the recent revision OF the city ordi-
nances, and that blue nosed Mckay
-or Mackay, as he calls it--slso got
away with $500 for the same ac-
count, making total of $l,05O tor
work that any respectable attorney
would have done Tor $50, and con.
sidered himself well paid. We believe
the report is unfounded. During
the year ending July l, 1878, this
writer attended every meeting of
the Board of Aldermen, to report
the proceedings. He was continu.
ally on the lookout for just such
Jobs as this, and he knows that no
such claim was allowed by the
Board.

NEARLY A CONFEDERATION.
A Blaze that Came Near Proving
Very Destructive.

About quarter to | O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, the old platform on
which all the machinery coming to
this city has been landed, alongside
the railroad trestlework, caught fire
from sparks which escaped from a
locomotive which brought train of
ore-cars to the Trench mill. The rail-
road Waterman promptly threw a
few buckets of water on the edge of
the trestlework nearest the fire, and
thus saved it. In the meantime
the mill whistle had sounded an
alarm. and a crowd of men had
reached the trestle work. Water
barrels being ready for just such an
emergency, all hands turned to with
q will and drowned the flames. The
trestlework was somewhat charred,
but not otherwise damaged. The
platform was damaged about $500
worth. Had it not been for the
prompt arrival of the mill-hands, the
whole trestework and the Bacon and
Trench mills would doubtless have
been destroyed, as strong wind was
blowing at the Ii me. stE lHD

When in ease and com fort he's smiling,

How friends will then nock sroand him;
But. should fortu lie happen to frown,
How quickly he'll get the cold shoulder,
And be kicked because he is down.

When life with successes abound:
How kindly and friendly be greeted,
As in pleasure we're passing around.
But, oh! let reverses o'ertalke us.
Then where are the friends we had foundq
Gone-none have q kind word to cheer US,
But they'll kick us because we're down.
When we all have plenty of lucre,
Are liberal, festive and gay;
We are thought charming, clever creatures,
The crowd approves all that we say.
But, oh! let us just Lose our treasure;
Alasl too, our health may be gone
Well get to be nobody quickly,
And be kicked because we arc down.
Morals and honesty are played out,
And uprightness, and truth, also;
Unless we have plenty Of money,
We are bound to be crushed right thro'.

And all stand ready to rebuke us.

HUMAN FLESH AS FOOD.
A '49-er Who Knows Of Two Men
Eating Some for Weeks.


An old prospector who lives in a
tunnel In American Ravine, says
that he can corroborate the state
ment that human flesh is good for
food, which was made in the last
issue of THE TIMES. He says that
early in 40, when he crossed the
plains with wagon-train, his party,
when near the great continental di-
vide, in Wyoming Territory, came
across two men who lived in a hole
in the ground, and who confessed
that during the preceding three
weeks they had lived on human
flesh. : The party with whom they
had travelled had all been murdered
and scalped by Indians, they alone
escaping. They had only a bowie
knife between them. With this, when
hungry, they would carve a piece
from one of the dead bodies of their
former companions, which had been
left on the field of carnage, the
great altitude and cool weather hav-
ing kept the corpses comparatively
fresh. The two fugitives were picked
up and cared for by the party with
whom our informant travelled, but
it was some time before they lost
their appetite for human flesh.
