GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 19.-No
doubt The HERALD readers are thank
full that the Guiteau business is at an end
SO far as the trials concerned, and that,
unless Providence intervenes, he will not
long hence take the fearful plunge into
darkness fixed by judicial decree. Con-
gress has at last got well to work, and
some sensible as well as needed legisla-
ton may be expected. The treasury and
star route investigations don't seem to
turn up the amount of corruption that
was promised. The idea that the investi-
CATION in the treasury department would
compromise eX-Secretary Sherman is
evidently based on very slight founda-
ton, and will in due time be found err
roneous. No sensible person believes
Sherman would have, during his Secre-
taryship, attempted to ruin his political
life and prospects by any such petty
transactions as charged. If there have
been irregularities the blame will be laid
at the door of the guilty parties. 1t is
well to take counsel of common sense
amid all the rumors affecting the char
acter of public men. To quote the words
of Westerner the other day, ''old
Timothy is just splendid in the Cabinet.
Have you noticed the immense amount
of virtuous Indignation from prominent
half breed quarters, notably the N. Y.
Tribune, over the fact that the Post
master General appointed his son chief
clerk? Their denunciations of nepotism
are scathing. They probably would not
have them applied to Secretary Blaine's
appointment of his own son Walker as
Assistant Secretary of State, or to MIR.
James appointment of his son-in-law
as postmaster of New York. These lat
ter two places are very important as
well as lucrative, and are still held by
those worthless.

Mrs. Scoyille objects to the cortine-
ment of assassin Guiteau in a tomb
like CELL shut out from every thing
bright. 1t is perhaps remarkable that
this is so. Murderers are generally
supposed to be the pets of certain
class, whose sickly sentimentality leads
them to see that their proteges have the
best the market affords, until they take a
through ticket for their future abode. 1t
is possible that this lack ofcoddling may
be due to the detestation felt for the vile
and fiendish act of citizen Guiteau. His
relation should think of this before com
planning.

Reckless MOsby.

Although a guerrilla, Mosby was a
brave man. He would run risks and
take chances which he would not order
his meu to take. He was in Washing
ton three different times during the war;
i'll Baltimore four or five times, and i'll
more than a dozen instances he pene-
trated the Federal lines for information.
Near Middletown he was once cut off
by Federal cavalry who held the pike
in both directions. When ordered to
surrender he drove his horse over the
stone wall and got away through the
fields. Three bullets pierced his cloth
ing, his horse was struck twice, and an
overcoat strapped to his saddle was
clean cut away by bullets. One day
while he was eating dinner in the Lu-
ray valley six Union cavalry walked i'll
on him. They did not know him as
Mosby, but rightly coniectured that he
was guerrilla. As they attacked him
he shot two and dashed through win
dow and made off with one of their
horses. He was once captured in
Washington while on a spying expedi-
ton, but feigned drunkenness and made
q dash for liberty while on the way to
the Provost Marshals office. Al that
time he had plenty of proofs on his per-
son to have convicted him as q spy.
Near Warrenton ne one night rode with
twenty-four men full upon a Federal
reserve picket of at least hundred
men. Both sides stood staring at each
other for O moment and then Mosby
called out
"Did any of them mules come this
way ?"
Haven't seen any," was the reply.
"Cuss the critters-they stanpeded
on us" growled the guerrilla, as he
turned his men and rode away.
Some of his men had blue overcoats
on, some wore citizens clothes, and no
one could say that they did not belong
to the Federal wagon trains. = Virginia
