be held up while the rope was being placed
around his neck. This was almost as brave an

who were so desperately wounded that the blood
spirited from the bullet-holes in their necks,
when their arms were tied behind them.

p-A Kansas paper, speaking of the proposed
law to consolidate some of the County ofices,
says that the Legislature could abolish the Office
of County Superintendent, without any detri-
mont to the public service; and another suggests
that the Legislature change the State Printer
Law, aud elect that officer for four years, instead
of two. If these papers would take the troable
to hunt up the authorities, they would find that
County Superintendent is an Office under the
Constitution, and can no more be abolished by
the Legislature than the Legislature itself can |;
and that the term of State Printer is fixed by
the Constitution at two years, and cannot be al
tered by the Legislature.

IL II is strange that poor people should be allow
ed to complain about these hard times, these cold
winter months when General Grant needs much
money to travel and call Kings and Empe-
The rich must be supported in STYLE if the poor
do starve.-BuIetia.
The BHlletia is too ignorant to know, aud too
dishonest to state if it did know, that Grants
travels do not cost the people of the United
States single dollar. But anything for chance
to raise demagogue howl about hard times and
the poor people. Gen. Grant, Mr.. Boric, aud
others, are going ON board the United States
steamer Richmond, which starts on cruise in the
Indian Ocean and other Eastern waters. The
Richmond goes Oh the cruise on Government
account, and would 60, whether Grant and Borie
went or not. Their psesence will not cost o
nickel for extra steam. They are required to
supply their own tables, paying the expenses
out of their own pockets. Government does not
pay for an ounce Of their food, or gill of their
drink. When the Richmond goes into port,
aud it is known that Grant is on board, salutes
will probably be fred, which the Richmond will
he bound iu courtesy TO return. This may cost
q few dollars extra for powder. But we have
no doubt that il Grant is reminded of the fact,
when he returns home, he will refund to the ed
tor of the BsllefiS his proportion Of this extra
expense for powder. The hard times are not
wholly caused by Grants travels abroad.

Gen. Grants Return.

The excitement in San Francisco
about the return Of Gen. Grant is nat
ural enough 1t is not often that the
inhabitants of that lively city have the
chance to make a parade over the ar
rival of n distinguished parsonage.
Most distinguished personages coming
To this country come West instead of
East, and few of them get across the
continent TO the Pacific coast.
Beyond this, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
Is really an important person, and one
who properly commands attention at
San Francisco. He is the only ex-
General of the Army Of the United
States. He is the only living ex-
President of the United States. He is
the only man living who, having been
elected President OF the United States,
ever held that office. He is the last
of the line of rightful Presidents that
began with George Washington.
If he keeps his eyes open, Gen.
Grant will soon discover that changes
have occurred at home while he has
been travelling abroad. In the first
place, business is beginning TO look up
again. Times are rather better than
they were when he went out of office.
This improvement is largely due to the
fact that the people are no longer fore
eel to prQvidc for the waste, extrava-
gance, and plunderings Of such set
of scoundrels as they were cursed with
i'll the days when Robertson, Belknap,
Babcock % Co. were in power, and
when a subservient Republican major
ity III the House Of Representatives
voted the millions as fast us they could
be squandered or stolen.
In the second place, Gen. Grant
will learn-provided he keeps his ears
shut to the toadics, snobs, and adven-
turers who will soon be swarming
about him in great numbers-that he
Is a less important factor in American
politics than he was two years ago. If
The experience gained in his travels
has taught him to appreciate the vast
ness Of the world and the littIeness OF
any individual, he will accept this fact
scnsibly, without making any fuss.
Gen. Grant has had great oppor-
tunities for studying men and things
and thereby improving his own mind
He has travelled very far-furthcr
even than his friend Pauson Newman
went when the latter pushed his in
spection of the Unitod States civil
service as far as the Garden Of Eden
and the lions den into which Daniel
was cast. Parson Newman never had
the advantage of visiting the Malay
sian peninsula or of mingling person
ally with the teeming populations of
G ina and Japan.
The cost of Gen. Grants trip must
be considerable, although he has dead
headed his way on land wherever
Geadheading was possible, and has had
the benefit of one of the Hon. Richard
w. Thompson's war vessels for mar
time transportation. But with all this
economy his travelling expenses must
have been large. Just how large they
have BEEN probably known to a cent
hy the syndicate of capitalists and pol
iticians who sent him abroad to keep
him fresh and in good condition for
