1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in lS7S-Cougress pass
ed law providing for tie erection Of durable
headstones over the graves Of soldiers of the
regular and volunteer forces Of the United
States whose remains are Inferred in the Ma
tiona Military Cemeteries. sThis law has been
carried out, and the graves of the Nations
dead in these cemeteries are now permanently
marked. At the instance Of the War Depart
ment, Congress- ines recently authorized the
erection Of similar head,toncs over the graves
of Union soldiers who are buried in private OF
village cemeteries. This will be done as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be made
In the meantime the Qua7termaster General,
at Washington, will at once proceed to collect
the necessary. information as to where these
head,tones are required. All persons having
any knowledge Of the burial places Of soldiers
in private cemeteries whose graves are not
marked. are requested 10 communicate the fact
to the Qaartermaster General, and give regi
ment, company and date Of deoth Of deceased.
if known. Smilsr Information is deaired
from parties in charge of such cemeteries. OF
course it is not intended to furnish headstoues
for graves over which monuments have already
been erected by relatives or friends Of the
deceased

While not undertaking to declare who of the

upon the board Of District Commissioners. we

a person whose hungry greed for Office
In the past gave him the name OF Is Six-teat
Bowen" in allusion to the half-dOZen Official
teats he at one time contrtved TO grasp. When,
as mayor of Washington, he made himself so
odious to the people that he was depoSed by
majority of $500 votes despite all his desperate
efforts to retain his place, it was not supposed
that he could have the effrontery to ever seek
position again in this District but 1t seems this
was miscalculatiOn. He Is now working every
wire to secure the appointment of Commissioner
In the same underground manner in which he
has worked in the past to secure position
We have not time or space to-day to give bill
of particulars Of the unpleasant experiences of
the people of Washington with Mr.. Bowen, but
will say, for the present, that no more objec-
tionable appointment could possibly be made
than that Of Sayles J. Bowen to be District
Commissioner. We do not suppose he has
any chance of securing the place, but it is as
well there should be no mistake about it. The
President would commit an irreparable error by
infiicting him again upon a people who have
shown their deteStation of his rule SO emphat-
tcally by their votes.
