REMOVAL OF THE CEMETERIES.

Elsewhere We publish to-day a commu-
nicaton from one Of our oldest and most
esteemed citizens over the signature g., in
the matter of the removal of the ccmete-
ries. The views urged are substantially such
as were presented in our Sundays issue.
Although the idea of the removal of the
dead from what had been sanctified as their
last resting places is more than unaccepta.
be to the general mind, yet it is true
that there must come the day when
the present cemetery will be so full of
silent inhabitants that no others can bc
placed there. Wherefore it would be well
that some spot or spots be selected in sucb
localities, as that even considering our
prospective,y rapid growth that tbo
march of business will not reach il In all
probability for quarter of a century
to come. If an inviting field
could be thus selected to be used in tho e,
ture for new interments. it migbt ord
doubtless would result that many of tho
bodies now laid away in the old ccmeter,,
would be disinterrcd and placed by the side
of newer mounds in the ampler grounds
afforded by newer yard A colder logic
would contend it would make no difference
to the slumberers, but that human
sentiment that has some concern for even
the closing of the eyes by the hands of af.
iectien or close friendship, for the compos.
ing of the limbs, the bearing fthe pail, and
the dressing of the grave, has very great
regard about the disturbance by foreign
hands of the sacred dead a disturbance
that the corporate conscience enters upon,
perhaps with rude haste to deface
the form that death had already mastered.
Then, if some provisions be now required,
rather let the council make arrangements
for the coming time and for future inter.
ments, leaving the transierence of bodies in
the old cemeteries to the disposition of those
concerned through domestic or other SINH
lar ties We have already shown that GENE,
terics in cities are not only not disease
breeding, but in reality not even un.
healthy. And this fact is borne out by &C.
tual cases such as New Orleans, where, in
the very heart of the city, nearly dozen
are now in use and have been for half cen,
tury, and in other cities in this country and
in Europe. 1t is notorious, too, that work
men in those occupations where.
in are constantly eIhaled all
manner Of putrefactions, similar to those
from dead humanity, such, for instance, as
with soap boilers and chambers, tanners
and curriers', and even scavengers, the
former of whom are known to enjoy excel.
lent health, and not to DO subject to fevers or
epidemic Affections, Notwithstanding they
often use fat in very advanced
stage of putrefaction. Our. cor
respondent G, need hardly be alarmed
about the contingency Of any speedy, whole
sale removal ho pleads so eloquently
against. The facts, the argument, the sen.
timent of a community are with him.

mission merchants Of New York, for q copy.
OF their Sth annual edition of the "Cotton
Movement and Fluctuations from 1869 to

WE are indebted to Rev. G.. w. Briggs, of
Galveston, fora copy of his sermon, entitled
The Martyr President, delivered in st.
Johns church on the 26th ult. Like every
thing else this learned, eloquent young
divine touches, ii presents harvest of beau
tiful thoughts, set in exquisite expression,
of him who through pcrilous pathway,
wore always "the white flower Of a
stainless lifen Mr.. Briggs references
to the true mothers of the land, as illus
trated by her who bore and reared the mar
tyr president, teen with happy and correct
criticism. "lIerc is the foundation" he
says, "of II nations greatness, the godly
mothers whose sons are their jcwels-jewels
that flash with grander radiance than the
diamonds that bedeck the daughters of
fashion, whose cllcminate offspring crowd
as pensioners the gates of place
and power dependent upon the
bounty of these sun-crowned men,
who in earnest homes and by noble
mothers have been trained to greatness.
We have to thank God for such mothers
not women of the period, whose jeweled
hands reject the class of baby fingers, but
true, tender, honest Christian mothers who
by prayer and tear and toll train up their
sons for God and their fellow men," Mr..
Briggs touches the chord that beats
its responsive echo throughout
the land when he thus alludcs to and draws
impressive lesson from the loving conduct
ola devoted mother, whose constant care
her honored son had been permitted only in
part to repay by rocking the cradle of her
reposing age, The tribute offered by the
pastor of ST. Johns was one worthy the
subject, the occasion, the orator and the
minister.

THE victories of Iroquois, Foxhall and
Parole in England, seems to be pretty con-
elusive evidence that better horses can be
bred in this country than in England. 1t
is true the strains of horses are virtually the
same, but the American method of breeding
and training seems to be the better, and
undoubtedly our climate, grass and water
is very much superior to those of England.
We have of late years imported some of
England's crack thoroughbreds to this
country, but the only regulations they have
made has been as sircs of illustrious sons
and daughters.

THERE seems to be persistent effort be-
ing made to induce Mr. Conkling to take
seat in the cabinet, an effort, it appears,
that President Arthur is not averse to. Why
shouldn't Mr.. Conkling go into the cabinet, he
and the president being fast personal friends
and both of the same wing ofthe republican
party? Mr Conkling has some very bitter
and determined enemies in his..own party,
but all great men have their enemies. 1t
may be, perhaps, that Mr.. Conkling has
more than falls to the share of most men,
but tits because he has never stopped to con-
cilate or tlatter any Of them.

IT Is now estimated by the comptroller of
New York city that it will take $3l ,67l $40
10 to run the municipal government next
year. This is about $50 per capita for the
entire population of the city, and when
state and county taxes are added to this
sum it will be seen that it costs good deal
to own property in New York city.

short-Lived Political Reputation In This
Country.


Among the thousands who figured in
their day as Senators and Representa-
tiyes in Congress, the names OF but few
are familiar to the present generation.
Clay, Webster and Calhoun made an
impress on the history OF their country
which, perhaps, will never be forgotten.
The class of statesmen standing next to
them in ability has even now almost
faded out OF The public mind. John
FORSYTH, of Georgia, was one OF the most
accomplished of.hand debaters that
ever appeared in the United States Sen
ate: vet how few OF the forty-tive mil
lions OF people now dwelling in this
land OF ours know that such man ever
lived. William G.. Preston, OF South
Carolina, was an orator OF great power,
and a Senator who reflected honor on
that State. After his death how soon
was lie forgotten, Webster's reply TO
Robert Y. Hayne is likely to keep his
(Havne's) memory fresh in the mind OF
the reader; otherwise he would have
been lost to the recollection OF posterity !;
vet he was one OF the brilliant men OF
his day. William T. Barry, OF Ken
tucky, was one OF the most eloquent OF
men, and played conspicuous part IN
the politics OF his State. 1t is safe to
saw that large majority Of the present
voters are not apprised OF the fact;
Felix Grundy, OF Tennessee, was noted
for his eloquence at the bar and in the
nails of Congress. 1t is oaly the poiIti-
cal student or the survivors OF the era
in which he cut his most prominent
figure who know anything about him.
Maryland kept Gen. Sam. Smith in Con-
gress th;rty-nine years, and we venture
10 saw that thousands of the politicians
OF the present day never heard OF him:
The same may be said of Nathaniel
Macon, OF North Carolina, who repre-
sented that State in Congress thirty
seven wears.

Uncle Rufus Hatch on Monopoly.

n. " sun.
Here Uncle Rufus placed his feet on
the round of his chair and began TO ian
himself. 1--WE would have one grand
boarding house." he continued, "one
saw mill and one shooting gallery. And
there would be huge hair pin factory,
and one tremendous shop for the manu-
facture of moving machines. One I'M
porter could supply the country with
sausage castings and curled hair. We
would have one iron foundry and one
homeopathic medicine factory; one
banking house and one boot backing
establishment; one landscape architect
and one Junk dealer; one kerosene mill,
one whisky rectifier, and one flavoring
extract establishment. My, my, what a
blessing it would be-"
Uncle Rufus dropped his feet from
the round OF his chair and eagerly bent
forward. "0nly think how happy we
should be-" said he. ave would have
but one electric light company and only
one razor strop establishment; one great
college and one immense Chinese laun--
dry: one nuseum OF art and one grand
peanut stand; one brewery, one beer
saloon, and one manufacturer OF wood
en- toethpicks. The more you look at 1t
the happies you become. Only think
of having only one President, one Sena'
tor, one member of Congress, one can
didate and one vote. It's enough TO
make a man dance with delight to think
that there would be only one court, one
Judge, one lawyer, one detective and
one Jail. We could have one soldier, one
sailor, one custom house and one stock
broker. This would astonish the French.
There would be bat one farm, one pota-
to patch and one onion field. This
would dumbfound the Irish. Then we
should have one editor, one reporter,
one newspaper and one lunatic asylum.
Oh, it would be tremendously glorious,
if not gloriously tremendous"
Here Uncle Rufus again hitched the
heels of his Oxford ties on the round OF
his chair and famed himself vigorously.
"There would be but one orthodox
preacher" he continued, "his sermon
would be telephoned by one telephone
to every church in the country. Every
thing would be done by clockwork, and
every II. an and woman would be sure
TO hear a good sermon. We could boil
the Mutual, the Automatic and Rapid
Transit telegraph lines down with the
Western Union, and make everybody
supremely happy. Then we might have

jewsharp, one pedestrian and one negro
