THE CASE OF GOVERNOR MURRAY.
What a Kentucky Democrat, Who Knows
Him Well, Thinks of the Charges.

Ex-Governor John G. Underwood, of Ken
lucky, speaking last evening at the Grand Cen
trial Hotel of Governor Murray, of Utah, with
whom he is well acquainted, said:
He comes from a family honorable, just. and
talented He is a man of fine presence, open
hearted, liberal, and ehivalrous character. He
was generally liked in his official intercourse in
Kentucky, even by political opponents"
What do you know of White and his fight
against MurraYf'
white is very ultra in his political opinions
so much SO that he does not well brook opposi-
ton. He is inimical to the interests of Murray
and his friends, and has been for years. Their
misunderstanding, l believe, grew out of the OPP
position to Bristows presidential aspirations.
White opposed General Murray, Colonel Whar-
friends. But | am not supposed to know any
thing of the Republican family jars"
What about the charges against Murray"
Il know nothing personally, but do know
General Murray to be a man of such character
and standing in Kentucky rs utterly to preclude
the possibility of any enlightenment or act of
that nature being committed in his office with
his knowledge. | do not think General Murray
would look very closely into the details, from
the fact that he is not a business man by nature
or education. He went into the Union army a
boy, and by rapid promotion became known as
the boy colonel" If he was guilty of the things
alleged against him, the time to have shown it
was when he was nominated for Governor, 1t
was not done then, and | don't believe it can he
done. If General Murray desired a testimonial
from Kentuckians of their belief in his integrity,
he could easily obtain one signed universally by
Democrats and Republicans. AS to questions
between Murray and White, there would be no
hesitation

MISS AYERS MARRIAGE.
The FOrtune-Hunters Who Have Annoyed
Her-TwO of Her Crazy Lovers.
NaIu VorL- Tattar

New York Letter.
The formal announcement of Miss Leslie Ay-
ers marriage to Commander Pearsons, which is
to occur the 9th of next month, will be a dismal
blow to the number of fortunes seekers who have
persisted III annoying this Unable young lady
as only fortune hunters can. If beauty be a ia
tai gift to its possesser, a large fortune belonging
to a young girl, and that girl tatherless, has also
its Disadvantages, and Miss Aver has experienced
enough in the way of disagreeable and undesired
notoriety through the fact of her inherited mill
ions to more than satisfy the
most sensational of young women.
1t was bad enough to have a Bourbon
Prince actually threatening to forever still his
throbbipg royal heart unless this daughter of Il
country pillcOmpounder should smile upon his
suit and consent to the exchange of q coronet for
300, COO or 400, 600 bottles of ~pectoral. This was
bad enough, and Miss Aver, who is a nice, quiet
girl, attained a social notoriety most distasteful
to herself and much regretted by her friends
through the various antics of this same Prince,
but the blood of all the Bourbons remained IN
shed, spite of the hard hearted American girl.
The Prince lives and dreams of victory when a
fortune representing quite as many pill-boXes
and attended with less common sense than in the
present case shall come in his royal way.
1t remained for a lesser light, one Count Bet
TIM. 10 make himself Extensively notorious and
nota little ridiculous by an unsuccessful attempt,
or a successful pretense, of committing suicide
at Miss Ayers house several months since.
Count Bettini might have spared himself his
pain and trouble, ana might also have spared the
parlor carpet and chairs sacrificed to the dra-
matte requirements of the occasion, as spite of it
all land it was a pretty well arranged tour de
torce) 1T only resulted in the hot
blooded Italians discontinue and his
dismissal from the home of his dark-eyed
inamorata- The young lady in question is by no
means a beauty, but has pleasing manners. and
if she dressed a little less showily in the street
would be more attractive, to my thinking, in APP
pearance. I~confess l do not believe in the fit

solos, and Mrs. Hammond and Miss Anna Far
quhar sang a duet. Mr.. A. r. Allen, basso, who
but recently came to this city. has been added to
the choir. Professor Carl. Barus is the organ
list.
Mr.. Reed took as his text Matthew 26, XXX
And when they had sung a hymn, they went
out into the Mount of Olives" The great words
had been spoken, and the mighty works had been
done. The Master was about to die, the flock to
be scattered as sheep having no shepherd; but
they sung a hymn. What 1t was. no one now
knows. 1t was probably a psalm of David. The
captives Of Babylon hung their harps upon the
willows, and asked, how shall we sing our songs
in a strange landl They could have sung
them in "a strange land. The object
of song is to comfort, to lift up, to cheer. The
pilgrims sang. The Only thing of Bayard Tay-
lors that | remember is that poem on the sing
ing of the soldiers before the Malakotf. There
were English, Scotch, and Irish soldiers, and all
sang annie Laurie" 1t is Characteristic of a
song that it makes little difference when it was
written. 1t may have been written centuries
ago. 1t may have been of an individual char
acter, like that of David, for his deliverance, but
men of all nations and for all time can sing
it. You don't need to be by a river to sing it,
but you must be in the humor to sing it. and in
sympathy with it. The true song is for all time,
the place is wherever there is a human
heart, and the human heart has fallen
into the right mood. The singer of
Israel sang for all succeeding centuries. His
strains have been taken up by Cromwelrs sol
utef5 going nIO DaItle. ny Ine pefSetubtu CoNt-
~nanters, and on our Southern cottonfelds. Man
changes his skies, flies across the sea, but he
does not change his mind, nor his heart, and not
in any great degree his fortune. Poetry may
be defined as prose touched by emotion-as a
fact stirred by feeling-a fact set on fire. The
fact of a song is easy to measure, but its power
is very hard to define. l might tell of John
Browns death and burial and that the cause for
which he died still lives, but put that in a chant,
John Browns body lies Wondering in the
ground but his soul goes marching on" and it
shakes a nation with its power.
The Bible is one book, but it has its phases of
power. You do not read the genealogical chap
ters with the same feeling that you read the
Psalms nor the story of Esther. as you read
John. Every one who has opened a well-read
Bible has found that it opens almost of itself at
many places, and every one is poetry Poetry
is prose condensed by heat of thought and by
the heat of affection. You will notice in David
the same thing that is in Burns-a feeling that
nature ought to sympathize with human grief.
1t shows that the heart of the shepherd-boy of
Syria and the heart of the plow-boy of Ayr were
alike.
Christ at the last supper pours the wine and
breaks the bread and says this is my body and
this is my blood. The expression is intense; it
is symbolic; it is poetry. There are times when
the argument of the sermon will not at all touch
you when the pathos of the song may.

Some Touching Testimonials from Men Who
Should Know Him.
Indianapolis Saturday Herald.
So much has been done to shield French, and
set him up as a model officer, and such domi-
neering insolence has been shown against those
who think he is not the fright man in the right
place, that we here give a few expressions that
have been made about him by postal officials:
Postmaster-general Gresham: II have no
doubt but French is a great tyrant over his
men"
Postmaster Wildman, of indianapolis, refer
ring to French: ut is best for a man to run
things by common sense. and to use red tape
sparingly and with discretion
Postmaster George /. Reed, of Peru: II think
| never knew a man who had men under him
where the men so universally disIiked the man
as is the case with the postal boys and French. !"
Colonel Ray, postof1ice inspector: Il think
you are right. l have seen many of the men
under French, and | have seldom found one, not
a placeman. who did not dislike French.
Z. M. Walker, chief clerk of the Postal De
partment: 1T is true that more complaints are
coming in against French than any other off
cer.h
John A. Henry. attorney for the Postal De-
partment: French is obnoxious to the boys. l
am free tc say that when l met him in Washing
ton I was not favorably impressed with him"
Head of bureau in the public building:
French ought to have been kicked out long ago
on general principles"
A prominent Indiana Republican lawyer and
politician: Il have never heard one of his men
speak well of him. He ought to go. If ne is
such a good man let them transfer him to some
other place. We do not want a monoDolv of
French's goodness here Spread this model
officer around. He ought to go out ON his merits;
besides that, he is a detriment to the Republican
party in Indiana, and we do not want to put it iii
jeopardy for him"
We commend to G. Jay French and the board,

MEETS WITH GENRAL FAVOR.
Greensburg Standard.
The proposition to erect a monument in Indi-
annapolis dedicated to the soldiers and sailors of
Indiana meets with general favor all over the
State. The Grand Army posts should be in
trusted with the work Of raising the money and
carrying the scheme to a successful termination.
When the matter is put fairly and intelligently
before the people, we feel safe in saying that the
response will be exceedingly liberal, and that
the work of constructing the shaft will soon be
commenced.
TIME FOR ACTION.
Indiana Herald.
We presume that the noble boys who gave up
their lives on the battle field for their country's
sake need no such thing to keep fresh their
memory, and yet it would be Il very proper thing
to do. We simply wish to say, however, that
talk without action has never yet accomplished
anything. If a project of this kind is to be car-
ried out, let the work be at once commenced,
and let be earnestly pushed forward until the
result is accomplished.
A %LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE
Salem Press.
The laudable enterprise sprung by Senator
Harrison, a few days ago, that of erecting a
monument to the memory of Indiana'S brave
sons who went forth at the country's call and
did valiant service for her maintenance, should
be pushed to an early completion. Washington
county, who sent many of these brave men and
true, will not be found tagging with hrr quota Of
funds for this purpose. Let the work proceed
with energy.
NEEDS THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE.
Worthington Times.
The newspapers of Indiana and the people
should second the suggestion OF General Ben
Harrison, that a monument be erected at Indian
apolis in memory Of the soldiers of this State.
Let every county commence a popular subscrip-
ton, and let 1884 see the completion of the
work. Let donations be taken as low down as
% cents, 80 cents, and ST 90.
LET THE STATE BUILD THE MONUMENT.
Frankfort Banner.
Let the State erect it, and let it be a mOnu-
ment that shall represent the flial affection of
Indiana for her sons who aided so largely in pre-
serving the liberties of the people. Such a
monument will teach a lesson of loyalty to com
ing generations, and will fifty commemorate the
valor of the boys in blue. By all means let the
State build it.
