DEATH OF GENERAL BURNSIDE.

The telegraph brings news OF the
death Of General Burnside at his home
in Bristol, Rhode Island. yesterday, from
an affection of the heart. He had been
complaining for a few days, but died
suddenly and unexpectedly.
General Burnside had filed a con-
spicuous place before the public for
many years, both as a soldier and in civil
affairs. He was more renowned, how
ever, as a soldier than as a statesman.
He was thrice elected Governor OF Rhode
Island-in 1866, CT and IS. He sue
ceeded William Sprague in the United
States Senate in 1875 and was reelected
last Winter, his present term, had he
lived, not expiring until March 3, 1887.
He was in his 57th year at the time Of
his death, having been born at Lib
erty, Indiana, May %. 1924.
He entered West Point in his
nineteenth year, and graduated in lS47.
He served in the Mexican and Indian
wars, and resigned from the army in
1852 TO manufacture a bree~ch-loading
rifle Of his own invention. He removed
to Illinois in 1858 and became Treasurer
Of the Illinois Central Railroad. The
warsof the rebellion breaking out, he
enteEed The Union Army in 1861, as
Colonel Of the First Rhode Island Vol
unteer Infantry !; commanded q brigade

NOTED Brigadier and Major General /;
commanded successfully the expedition
to North Carolina. in 1862, the left wing
of the Union Army at Antietam, the
Army of the Potomac and the Ninth
Army Corps, ~resigning after the close of
the war in 1865. BY the death of
General Burnside another vacancy is
created in the United States Senate,
which cannot be filled, save by appoint
ment of the Governor if the law of Rhode
Island permits it, In time for the conven-
ing of the regular session in December.
While General Burnside was a true citi-
zen and good soldier, he never achieved
that high distinction in the public esteem
accorded to many OF his brother officers.

. PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.

A vote was taken in a saloon Friday
among Democrats as to their choice for
President in 1884. Out of II votes Allen
G.. Thurman received 8 votes. As the ex-
Senator is an Ohio man the vote is quite
complimentary to that State. II Jack
McQuaid had been present he would no
doubt have voted for A. G. T.
The above appears in the Bodie Free
Press. We are not surprised at the pop
ularity of Mr.. Thurman, but it does
puzzle us to know how so many Demo-
Gratis were found sin a saloon"

THE worst yet in the line of divorce

drinks liquor, though very moderately
as the evidence showed. "Ishe it," the
Judge urged in this truly wonderful de,
cision ito be the father of bis wiie's

possibly be inflicted upon a woman is to

He did not base his veto on any doubt of

The Nationnl Banks.

Secretary Window if he dares to do
his duty, encounters at the very thres-
hold Of his new Office contro-
yersy with the national banks That
syndicate of banks which threatened to
ruin every legitimate business in the
country, ifa law was passed which they
did not like, and which would interfere
with their speculative schemes, and
thereby defeated the funding bill, now
want to retrace their steps. They Great
ed the panic of week before last by de-
posting gold and legal tenders to redeem
about SIS, 100000 of their circulation and
receive back the bonds deposited to Sc
cure it. Now, having accomplished their
purpose they ask that their money be re-
turned to them, that the trade which
they themselves made be abrogated, and
they be allowed to continue in the bank
ing business, without going through the
customary formality of buying new bonds
and taking out new notes.
What this demand amounts to is that
the monetary system of the country shall
be entirely in the clutches of the banks,
that they shall have the power, in effect
of contracting the currency by simple
telegram to Washington, whenever it
shall suit the interests of spectators who
manage them to force up prices, and of
expanding 1t just as speedily. as soon as
their interests are the other way.
1t needs no argument to show that |
such a power of demoralizing business,
enriching or impoverishing
industry, ought not to be granted to any
corporations. Sept. Is and Nov. Treas
urers New and Gilfillan decided precisely
similar cases, holding that after bank
had ordered its circulation Withdrawn, it
could not rescind the order. The demand

THE MorHons realize that the moral
sentiment of the country will not much
longer tolerate the foul gangrene of their
polygamous system in the body polite.
They have for several months been nego-
tiating with the Mexican government for
the purchase Of large tract of land, with
an idea of colonizins in body. But it
is not likely that they will succeed in eff
fecting a trade. The Catholic clergy are
welding all their potent influence against
it, and intelligent Mexicsns dread that
the system would work terrible democrat
ization among their lower classes, espe-
ciallY the Indians.

pay IS day for his care while intoxicated
or while suffering from injuries or impris-

who wishes to get liquor for a legitimate

Post Route Stealings.

Already is there a rafting among the dry
bones OF the postal department rings q,
Washington, at the prospect Of an honest,
efficient administration by T. L. James.
The regular official Republican organ there
has already warned him that he ''mustn't
SGT up as a reformer, and ruin the party, u
by bouncing prominent leaders, who have
been mixed up with past stealings.
Mr.. James has publicly declared his in
tention Of driving the broom through the
star service, on which from $4,000, 900 to
81, 100000 has been yearly expended Of
late, and most of it wasted, or worse, by
Brady, in defiance Of explicit law, Of the
orders Of Congress, Of the terms of con-
tracts, and Of the plainest business princi-
pies. The gang Of contractors who have
80 long fourishcd under Brady s scoundrel-
ly manipulations, see their day is ended, and
are cogitating how to save themselves from
the pententiary.
Jerome ]. Kinds, an ox-member Of the
Republican National Committee from Ala
bama and an Congressman, and form
er star contractor, is the first one to expose
the methods OF the robbers He charges
Brady directly with bride taking, and fur
nishes dates and details with precision
that give plausbility to his story, however
scaly he may be himself. His story is that
post route 40, l0l was let to firm of which
he became member, IN August, 1878. The
pay was afterwards raised to $64. 900, near
ly quadrupled, on the pretense Of its being
changed from semi. weekly to daily route.
To secure this increase, Kinds and his part
ners paid one S. p. Brown $40, 900, and he
divided the bride with Brady, Kinds says.
the contract was sub-let to
John A. Walsh, and instead Of running |
ages daily or semi weekly, he didn't run
hem at all, but drew his pay just the same,
md in fact it was increased in few months
o $1,35, 900 year. Brady knew that he
wasn't performing the contract, but refused
0 revoke it until driven to by legal pro-
ceilings. In another case Brady is ac-
used of letting contract to J. B. Price
opposed to be only cover for S. W. Dor
,y-at 1923, 900, when he had another bid
'r $3.50
In fact, Kinds presents strong evidence
show that only parties inside the ring
'uld secure contracts or get their pay
ised, but that the favored few who would
Hwy" with Brady, had tickets to plumber

The Democrats have for the present a
clear majority in the Senate, owing to
the empty seats of Carpenter, Window
and Kirkwood. They have filled out
their list of committees and are attempt
ing to form reorganization. The Re-
publicans are filibustering in opposition,
and with the help of Malone, will prob
ably succeed in preventing any action
being taken until the new Senators arrive.
Thus is public business made subordinate
by both parties to a petty squabble over
few offices which yield perhaps $780,
