pointment to the supreme command.
Will be remembered that in the early years
OF the war there were many major gene
rails appointed before they had earned
their promotion, and after it was too late
it was ascertained that many of them were
inefficient and unworthy of the high COM
mands to which their rank entitled them.
10 obvlate this law was passed authoriz-
ing the assignment of any one major
general to any command the President
might desire, even if ranked by those over
whom he was placed. Under the opera
ton OF that law it was intended to displace
General Grant and place Thomas in com
mand OF all the land forces of the country
Thomas learned what the programme was
and resolved that he should not be placed
In false position. To prevent it he tele-
graphed to Senator Chandler, and possibly
others, that the government had done
enough for him and requested that the
Senate refuse to confirm the nomination
made by the President. There are few
men living who knew what President
Johnson's intention was, and this state
ment may strike many with surprise. Had
Ihomas been an avaricious, grasping,
ambitious man he would have stepped in
and for season commanded the army,
thus placing himself, as well as General
Grant, in false positions Thomas had
no such desire to rob General Grant of the
honors he had so justly earned. How very
few there are in the army, or elsewhere.
who would not readily accept promotion
by any means it could be obtained without
reference to the great injustice it might
work upon others? Not so with Thomas;
he was too noble and too generous to &C
cept position rightfully belonging to an
other. General Grant graduated. and
entered the army three years after Thomas
and with many officers there would have
been unwilling and tardy obedience on &C
count of original seniority; but Thomas
was too much of soldier and the import
ance of the contest too great for petty
squabbling about rank. He served
honestly and faithfully under any and all
allegiance to his country and to his COM
mander. cd zc -.
Ii he ever had any feeling that others
had been unjustly promoted over his head
certain it was that he never spoke of 1t to
any one. AS he once remarked he, chad
educated himself not to feel" or, if he did
feel, it was so far on the inside of his man
ly, generous bosom that it never reached
the surface. He had no tales of wrong
doing on the part of others to him, or OF
any want of appreciation. on the part OF
the war department, but always insisted
that he had had more than his share Of
credit and emoluments. Such disinter.
ested, unselflsh man is rarely to be found
in these degenerate DAYS.

is BLAIN At THE BOTTOM OF THE
MISCHIEF

Washington correspondents are pretty
generally Of the opinion that if Secretary
Blaine was not the instigator of Presi-
dent Gartield's action in waging war on
Conkling, he at least contributed some
what towards bringing it about. 1t is
well known that for twenty years past
the personal relations of Blaine and
Conkling have not been of the most
friendly description, but that they have
been constantly working at cross pur-
poses. Blaine's influence over the Presi-
dent is great. They have long been init
mate associates in the lower house of Con-
gress, and besides Garfield's nomination
at Chicago was largely due to the infu-
ence of blaine and his friends. He per-
formel an act of courtesy as well as Of
gratitude in placing Blaine at the head
of the ministry. He was, besides, as well
gratified for the position as any man in
the country, and the public very general
ly acquiesced in the appointment as one
fit to be made.
But whether or not Blaine instigated
the withdrawal of the New York nomina-
tions has little bearing on the question.
1t was manifestly the only means by
which the President could establish his
right to fill the Offices in his gift with
men in whom he could repose perfect
trust. 1t was Conkling's purpose to pro-
cure the confirmation of Wood
ford, Payn, and other OF
his friends at once, but to delay the &C
ton on the nomination of Robertson I'M
til the regular session of Con-
gress next December This
would have amounted to prac-
tical defeat of the President, and in the
meantime Conkling could have so manip-
ulated the political affairs of the State as
to procure an endorsement of his course
which would have greatly strengthened
him at the next session of the Senate in
his opposition to Garfield This conces-
sion to an avowed enemy the President
could not afford to make, and he there
fore took the bull by the horns, with the
result of disarming Conkling of some OF
his most powerful weapons. If Blaine
was responsible for this course he showed
his astuteness and his appreciation of the
value of patronage in political warfare.
He is entitled to credit for bold and pol
itic move. The probabilities are, how
ever, that the coup d'etat was Garfield's
alone, but in acting as he did he has the
cordial support of his secretary of state.

Smfocated bu Foul Gas d, a Weu

A team driven by Charles Lane arrived In
this city last evening, with the body of man
supposed to be Thomas Elliot, who was killed
while at work cleaning a we'll on the farm Of
John Wick, at Medina, on Saturday morning.
Elliot was at the bottom of the we'll where his
fellow workman heard him moan and surmis-
ing the cause called to him to grasp the rope.
On receiving no reply Lane descended, but the
gas was too strong and 1t was not
until considerable water had been thrown
down that he was able to discover and bring
Elliot's body to the surface. Elliot was about
"a years of age, and came to Minneapolis on
Wednesday last. He claimed to have had ex-
perience in we'll digging and was at once hired
by Lane to assist him. From papers and pre-
scriptions headed, DEBORAH, Iowa." 1t is sup
posed that he came from that point. The
body was taken to Warmers undertaking es.
tablishment, and the coroner notified. An
inquest will be held this morning.

obeyed. Arriving at the house, in compliance
with previously arranged plan, he placed q
ladder against the wall, and climbed to Miss
Kelly,s window. His lady love came TO the
window upon the proper signal being given,
and they talked together for a time, when
Greisemer descended the ladder followed
by Miss Kelly, and the two went 10

razor cut his throat and made her escape to the
house, Miss Kelly was placed under arrest and
refused to talk. Greisemer says he was en-
gagged to marry her; that her parents opposed
the match; that he wished to elope with her,
and that she agreed to do so. The consent for
the proposition was contained in her letter.
Miss Kelly tells q different story. She claims
to have been seduced by Greisemer, but was
prevented from marrying him by reason of his
brutal conduct towards her and her parents.
He importuned her to elope with him, and in
an evil moment she consented, but when he
arrived at her house about midnight on the
night in question, she had changed her mind
and while talking with him at the strawstack
positively refused to go. He thereupon drew

from his hand, and as he made rush for her,
struck at him, the blade of the razor severing

ran off and walked nearly two
miles to farmers house, by whom he was
taken to Pennington and his wounds dressed.
Miss Kelly returned to her room and went to
bed, but was placed under arrest to await the
result Of Gresemer's injuries, which are liable
to prove fatal. Miss Kelly and her parents
