The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-08-12

The conservative Democrats of Virginia
declare that "the maintenance of the public
credit of Virginia IL the essential means to
the promotion of her prosperity. We con-
denim repudiators in every shape and form
as a blot upon her honor. a blow at her per-
manent welfare, and an obstacle to her pro-
gress in wealth, influence and power" This
is very pretty turning of phrases. 1t looks
well. 1t sounds well. II has ring of hon
esty about it. II prepares the reader to be-
lieve they intend to be upright, and to pay
their state debt as the state agreed to pay it,
100 cents on the dollar, with the rate Of in
terest agreed in their bonds. And this ex-
pectation IS naturally heightened by the
unmeasurcd denunciation those so-called con-
servatives have poured upon Malone and his
followers.
But these high sounding phrases have a
strange conclusion. In the very next para
graph of their platform these conservatives
say: I'VE will make every effort to secure
the settlement of the state debt with the con-
sent Of the creditors These are queer
words to follow condemnation of repudia-
ton in every FORM Any thing short of

and that commission should be established,
whereby the offices within the gift of a Re
publican President, shall be shared equally
by Democrats and Republicans. We believe
that when the people of this country voted
for Republican administration. they meant
by it that the Republican party should he
entrusted with, and conduct the affairs of
this nation. In referring to this kind of civil
service the Allegan Journal says:
Il is only another continuance for estab-
fishing an official class in this government,
and to appoint men to Office for life. and 70
pension these officials when they become
superannuated, as in monarchical Europe,
where they have an aristocracy of Office
holders. We rather think that free born
Americans are not prepared to establish any
such system of civil service, where each and
every freeman possessing the required mental
qualifications is entitled to the highest honors
of the American republic without the inter
vention OF civil service reform commissions
or any political devices or contrivances OF
that character-a land in which the people
are omnipotent and not an aristocracy Of
officeholders-

Ths late John J. Bagley, soon after his
first election as governor, insisted that the
Lake Shore g. Michigan Southern railroad
company was not paying "a much tax to the
state treasury as the law contemplated and
at his suggestion the legislature at It's session
IN 1877 passed a joint resolution instructing
the governor, attorney general, and auditor
general TO cause examination OF this claim To
he made as soon as practicable, and then il
thought just and expedient, to make test
ease and vigorously prosecute the same.
These officers were also empowered to en-
iaoy such able counsel as might be deemed
necessary to carry out the spirit of the reso-
luton. Attorney General Kirchner, assisted
by G.. A. Kert of Detroit, then commenced
suit against the company il the Wayne cir
cult court, and in October. 1850, obtained a
judgment against the company for S50,214.-
u, back taxes which had accrued as follows:
For 1862. $2,Oo6.03; for 1870, $2O0G.O3 /:
for 1871, S2,OO6.03: for 1872, r5.536.62
for 1879, sj.536.62, and for each year from
1874 to 1881, S7.s9036. The decree of the
lower court was affirmed at the June term Of
the supreme court in 1881. On Thursday,
Oscar q. Gstzen-Denver, assistant general
counsel of the railway company, paid into
the state treasury S6s,659.50 of the amount
awarded, covering the years from 1873 to
1881. The amount for the years from 1869
to 1872 is still held under Adjustment. but
Will probably soon be paid. In addition to
tho SeO,2i4.2l covered by the decree the
sum of S7,s9O.36 will be added to the annual
receipts Of the state treasury.

is reputation. And this is precisely what is
proposed.
Further ON in the same section of the plat
form they say, "we will use all lawful and
constitutional means in our power 10 secure
a settlement upon basis of 3 per cent
bond" If they offer the creditors the option
of cash or a new 3 per cent bond for their
old or per cents, the proposition is a fair
one. But this is not the proposition. They
will not take cash in either hand. What

they propose is a new three per cent. bond
and an offer to the holder of the higher rate

This il their idea of honesty. This is their
love for the credit of the state. It's the
brutal husbands response to his wife, Love

state so well that they could rob its creditors
as they propose.
The hollowness of all their pretences can

The funeral of John j. Bagley took place
from his late residence in the city of Detroit.
on Sunday afternoon. There was never such
a demonstration in that city at the funeral
services of one of its citizens as was wit
messed on this occasion. Thousands of eagar
citizens gathered to pay their last sad respect
to the memory of him who had won so
strong q hold upon the affections of the
whole people. Fully two horrs before the
appointed time for the funeral exercises to
take place, the people began pouring into the
streets which led toward the route to be fol-
lowed by the procession, until vast throng,
numbering perhaps 10000, had assembled
around the ex-Governor's mansion. Added

followed half dozen other carriages, with
members OF the Cabinet and others who had
accompanied the remains from Elberon. A
platoon OF mounted police brought up the
rear With mufiled drums and solemn funeral
dirRe the procession moved slowly up the
avenue. A dense mass lined the sidewalks all
the way from Sixth Street TO the east front of
the Capitol, and along this portion of the route
the crowd was apparently rs great as upon
the occasion of the Presidents inaugural pro-
cession. AS the procession moved up the
avenue scarcely sound was heard, save that
from the feet of moving men and horses.
Hats were removed and heads bowed as by Il
common impulse of deep and unfeigned grief
as the procession moved toward the Capitol.
Here ut the east front vast assemblage
had congregated to view the funeral cortege.
At the foot of the steps there was double lille
of Senators and Representatives, headed by
their respective officers waiting in respectful
silence to escort the remains into the rotunda.
At precisely 40 the head of the procession,
moving around the south side, arrived at the
east front of the Capitol, the arms of the mill
tary being reversed and bands playing the
dead march. An order was then given to carry
arms, and the troops came TO front face, while
TO the mufiled beat of drums the hearse ana
its attendant train of carriages drew slowly
up in front of the escort
AT THE CAPITOL.
A hush came over the multitude, ana heads
wero reverenty uncovered. AS the coffin was
carefully lifted from the hearse, officers of the
army and navy deployed in parallel lines on
either side of the hearse, and the Marine Band
played again with much sentiment, Nearer,
My God, to Thee" as with solemn tread the
remains of President Garfield were borne into
the rotunda and placed upon the catafalque,
Senators and Representatives preceding and
ranging themselves on each side of the dais.
Close behind the coffin walked President Ar
thur and Secretary Blaine, who were followed
by Chief Justice Waite and Secretary Window,
Gen. Grant and Secretary Hunt, Secretary
Lincoln and Attorney General MacVeag6,
Secretary Kirkwood and Postmaster. General
James, Col. Rockwell and Gen. Swain, and
Col. Corbett and Private Secretary Brown.
At rs the lid of the coffin was opened and
the face of the late President was exposed.
Noiselessly President Arthur and Secretary
Blaine approached and gazed upon the face
of the dead and then slowly and sadly passed
out OF the hail. A line was formed by Ser
geant- at Arms Bright and one by one those
present advanced and glanced Mt the enact
ated and discolored face. The public at large
was then admitted and hundreds of persons
testified by their reverential conduct and
mournful countenances tho sorrow which
they experienced in looking upon the features
of their murdered President
