SINCE the election the grand old party is
beginning to own up, to some extent on the
policy probably Of owning up as fast as it
is proved. Before the election charges Of
stealing were preferred against the medical
bureau Of the Navy department at the time
everything was denied, but in his official
report, just made public, Secretary Chandler
admits that Sl25, 900 has been stolen by dis
honest employees. This is something, but
how much has been stolen in former years
remains TO be asceTtained. If the Republican
party had been successful it is not very likely
Chandler would have confessed, but investi-
cation would have been blocked. This is a
good time TO reiterate, Turn the Rascals out.

IT is satisfactory to reflect that change of
administration will relieve the public service
of some OF the official barnacles and worth
less and useless membranes whose sole
use is to deplete the treasury to support them
in pompous, social ideness. Among these
cancers of long official service may be
named that infuitesimal martinez William B.
Hazen, Lieutenant Colonel in the army
swelling under the title of a brevet BrigadIer
Generalship. As the head of the signal service
bureau he has shown his utter unftness, in
competency and unworthiness, and the
sooner he is deposed from Washington social
life, and sent to the frontier TO do duty as a
sentinel to guard Indians on the frontier,
the better. Useless anywhere, he viii not be
so expensive and offensive an inutility
among the redskins as among the red
stockings of elegant society at the Capital.
He is a sample Of the grand old party's
pampered employees.

THE death Of Reuben r. Springer at Gin
cinnati yesterday, at the age of eighty-four
years, removes from the activities of life one
of the most liberal benefactors Of that city.
Cincinnati is indebted to Mr.. Springer for
its magnificent music hall, Of which he was
the originator and toward which most gen
erous donor. II was the desire Of the com
munity TO name this grand edifice in his
honor, but this he absolutely declined TO per-
NIT, going so far as to say he would withdraw
his subscription If anything of the kind were
done. His private charities were almost
limitless, and the world will never know all
his deeds of mercy and beneyolence. His
residence at Cincinnati covers a period ex-
ceeding three-quarters Of a century. His
monument is already builded in the hearts
of the people and storied urn or animated
bust are powerless to dc him honor.

THE MINE HOLOCAUST.

Further intelligence Of the terrible explo.
sion in the coal mines in Pocahontas coun
ty represents the work of destruction as
horrible and complete. There were l2C
men in the mine at the time, not one OF
whom is believed to have escaped. Those
who were not killed outright most likely
persisted from the aferdamp.
The cause of the explosion is not yet as
certained, as the entrances are full of bad
air.
Several parties ventured into the mines
yesterday morning, but could not long en-
dure the foul atmosphere. A number of
bodies were discovered, some Of them with
the heads torn from the trunks and others
with the limbs all gone, presenting an ap-
palling spectacle.
The force of the explosion was=such that
houses 200 or 800 feet removed from the
mines were demolished The large venti-
lator of the Southwestern Improvement
Company was blown to atoms, and the
mines cannot be entered until another is
constructed for the purpose of freeing the
atmosphere OF the suffocatiDg fumes This
work is now progressing speedily. A large
force is engaged on the outside Of the mines
constructing collins and perfecting other
arrangements for the interment of the dead
miners, most Of whom are foreigners.
The latest intelligence is that an eyplor-
ing party yesterday entered the mine q
short distance and brought out six bodies
in frightfully mutilated condition. There
is no hope that any will be rescued alive.
The mine is known as Flat Top mine,
and is situated in the northeast portion of
farewell county, at the base of the Flat
Top mountains, which divide that section
of Virginia from West Virginia.
