Lieutenant Melville's Report

1t has always seemed to us that it was
the heighth of folly to send expeditions to
the Arctic seas that the greatest possible
advantage to be gained could not compen-
safe for the suflerings inflicted upon brave
men, for the keener sutTerings ofloved ones
left'at home, to whom the glory achieved
was but poor compensation for heartaches
made. Still, as we read such q story as
that of Lieutenant Melville, telegraphed
Yesterday, another thought comes. When
such stories from time to time through the
years are inscribed upon nations history,
| that nation at length takes on majesty
which makes it difficult for any citizens Of
it to fail when courage or selfsacriilce ls
required which makes other nations re-
spectftll When the charge OF the Light
who watched the whirlwind exclaimed
at is magnificent, but it is not war" And
vet what Englishman would, il he could,
recall that blunder and wipe out that page
of English history? 1t cost some splendid
lives at the time, but who knows how
many lives it has saved since? There is no
| European sovereign or soldier who ever
contemplates making war upon Great
Britain who does not, while weighing the
obstacles in his way, think that war in
that quarter would mean the calling up of
power whose soldiers only wait for orders,
| regard less of what foe there may be IN
front or what perils may surround them.
Lately, a little inferior power down under
the Southern Cross, whose people are
mongrel race, has, by caricatures and lam
booming, sought to cast ricicule upon the
American navy. Such q story as the re-
port of Lieutenant Melville cures all that.
A navy can be built whenever rich people
determine that one is necessary; but the
| fortitude which falters not when ships are
| ground to atoms in glacier locked-se
| when famine and frost stand the sentineis
| guarding frozen coast-that does not
attach to mongrel races. When the world
at large shall read this report OF the eX-
plorer, the thought that everywhere Will
| be uppermost will be:-"Those men are of
the invincible races nothing but annihila-
| lation can conquer such men," And II our
| nation continues dwelling in power with
the advancing years, as other American
| ships are tossed on ship marring. seas, or as
| they draw under the canopy OF battle, the
, hearts upon their troubled decks will be
| fortified with the thought that it Will not
do to falter so long as in American history
there remain the pages which tell how the
| Cum berland was fought or how the men OF
the Jeanette met disaster. Science may
not be much benefited by the sacrifices OF
those who have sought to pierce the secrets
UP where the glaciers creep or where the
icebergs have their birth, but American
manhood has been exalted by those expe-
ditions, and, because of them, it is more
and more necessity for, Americans to fol-
low duty, whether it leads upward to light
and 10Y, or downward to darkness and
sorrow.-[ Salt Lake Tribune.

Correspondence of the Herald.
GILMER, April 6, 1SS2.-As you have been
informed by special, a horrible and shock
ing tragedy occurred in this place yester'
day about 10 a. IN. Judge j. j. Lyons,
county Judge and editor of the New Issue,
was murdered in his office. The doors
we're locked, and nothing was known of the
affair until about four hours after. The
following facts have been developed before a
coroner's jury, which is still in session:
1t appears that Judge Lyons had become
dissatisfied with his printer, by the name OF
A. w. Ashley, and just before 10 a. m. had
consummated arrangements with Y. X.
Wilcox, of Dallas, TO do his work. This oc-
Cured in his private office IN the court
house. Wilcox was to go TO the ,post-oftlce
and depot and to meet the, judge at the
printing office, where he returned,
during which time the judge
was to go over and inform Ashley
of the change and to settle with him. When
Wilcox returned he could neither tlnd
Judge Lyons nor get into either ONCE.
Several inquiries were made, but no one
had seen him since Wilcox had. Wilcox
went to his house without finding him, and
then remained around the courthouse,
watching for him until about 2 p. M,
when the people where Ashley boarded
were discussing the reason for his non APP
pearance at dinner, and a neighbor being
present said: "Why, l saw Mr. Ashley
pass my house before II this morning. he
Jumped over a fence and ran through q
field with bundle under his arm" A
gentleman came down to inform the Judge
of the singular action of Ashley, and after
several attempts to enter the door and in
auiries after Judge Lyons back window
OF the Office was looked through and Judge

The Influence of an Able Senator.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Star, writing from the in
enched camp of the stalwart wing of Re-
publicanism, at the national capital, men
tons, in recent letter, the appointment OF
a near member of senator Cameron's fam
lily, Mr.. ] &C. Muhlenberg, to a paymaster-
ship in the army. Such a place, it seems,
is accounted one of the most desirable in
the public service-a prize of solid gold,
and not an inch OF gliding. A regiment of
applicants wanted this one, for such a
vacancy rarely falls in, and among them
were number of distinguished ex-soldiers,
CAPTAIN Newbold, of Philadelphia, and Col
onel Webster, of Washington, being in
cuded. The latter had served on General
Grants staff, and the General, the cores
pondent asserts, strongly backed" him,
hut ex-senator Simon Cameron pressed the
president hard, and said that it was the
only thing he would ask ofthe administra-
ton; so the administration yielded. This
is a noticeable affair on several accounts.
The soldiers, it seems, were stood aside for
civilian, when it better suited Senator and
ex-senator Cameron. The soldiers were
stood aside for civilian, Notwithstanding
the place TO be filled was one in the army
General Grant, it also appears, does not
get all he asks for at the White House
