On Monday morning we felt very much
like having our old friend John Tope ar
rested for disturbing a graveyard. He
was found tearing down the front of the
old building at the corner Of Broadway
and Pearl Streets-a building that has
stood there for lifetime. In tearing
open this old shell, Tope was breaking
the sepulchre of good many tender
memories-and some that were not so
tender. That old room has resounded
with the prayer and hymn of praise; it
has also resounded with maudlin curses
over game of Seyen-up. In this room
heads have worried over difficult pro-
blems in mathematics; other heads have
worried over how to sell the least whisky
for ten cents, The room has been used
as furniture store, an art studio a dog
gerry, gambling den, carpenter shop,
a fisl-market. and now they are going to
put up some kind of a front and call it a
barber shop. 1t is a conglomerate pile of
old logs, STICKS, pQstG and boards. The
stud ling consists of white oak posts. four
to six inches in diameter. Patching up
this old building will be a good deal like
an old man using the blacking-brush up
on his whitened locks to make himself
look young again. One might call it a

Death of a Famous Man!

Allen Pinkerton, the famous detec-
tive, died at his residence in Chicago
on last Wednesday afternoon. He
had been in poor health for five years,
and recently went South in search of
health, but found malaria instead.
He was sixty-five years of age at the
time of his death.
The feat which gave Mr.. Pinkerton
National fame was that Of safely
conducting President-elect Lincoln
through Baltimore, while the latter
was on his way to be inaugurated as
President. A plot to murder Mr. Lin
coin in Baltimore became known to
Pinkerton, and by his shrewdness he
foiled the assassins and conducted his
charge safely to Washington. Pink
erton's first experiences as detective
occurred while he was asfarmer in Illi-
noise in 1847. Horses had been stolen
in the neighborhood and the farmers
organized to hunt down the thieves.
Pinkerton took charge Of one Of the
cases, and hunted the thief down and
brought him to justice. The farmers
Of the community then employed him
as detective, and he afterward re-
moved to Chicago where he was made
Deputy Sheriff, and where he started
his famous detective agency. He is
described as very commonplace look
ing man who looked anything but the
shrewd detective that he was. He
was Scotchman.

County Ticket.
Good By FitZ!

This country has heard good deal,
through the press about Fitz-John
Porter, the traitor who, in command
Of splendid army of Union soldiers
permitted another Union commander
to be overwhelmed by superior num-
bers, and defeated, within hearing OF
Porter. For this he was very prop
erly court-martialed, and, as President
Lincoln was credited with saying,
ought to have been shot. He has
been persistently seeking reinstate-
ment, with its attendant back-pay,
ever since, and at last bill for his
relief passed both houses Of Congress
and went to the President For his
signature.
President Arthur refused to sign
the bill, and returned it with his OBJ
jections. The House Immediately
passed the bill over the veto by more
than the requisite two-thirds. When
it came up in the Senate, the vote was
a tie 81 to 81. This settles the long
drawn scheme of Gen. Porter to Sc
cure the endorsement of the Congress
Of the United States upon his MUIR
derous conduct in neglecting his duty
in the field.
President Arthur merits the admir-
alton Of every loyal man in the United
States for killing this scheme. This
country does not owe Fitz-John Porter
anything but contempt, and he can
not breathe without feeling that the
Government is merciful. Of course
Gen. Logan voted against Fitz.

DEAR SIR.-Having noticed in the Jackson Standard
piece in which you attacked the WELSH, thought
1t duty to inform you of the fact. There you
on and told about Polygamy, &C., and said that
numOsr had tug sisters for wives, but went on and
said one oHsleggsd WELSH RASCAL had three sisters
for wives and 10 children and they lived in house
having but one room and kitchen and also that the
women had to do the farming and that he was
drunken brute. Now why was 1t necessary for you to
say Welsh rascal. we don't mean by this that you
lied have no doubts that he is a Welsh man, but
don't see 1t was necessary for you to mention of
what nationality he is 1t seemed inevitable that
wanted to SANDER the WsLSh-a nation that is the
most Christianized upon the globea nation that de-
vote more time to Polemics than any other natIon-a
nation that have the best modes ofworshiping etant
and because there happened to be one in Utah who
induged and advocated Polygamy we do not it
necessary for you to mention this exception,
hereafter when you send some more of your 'hog-
wash" to the Standard never expect to see you
mention as to what nationality the Polygamists of
Utah belong.
Hoping that this is enough will defer writing
any more at present.

A Bill has passed both Houses Of
Congress granting honorable dis
charges to large number of soldiers
of the late war who were marked as
deserters. Of course the honorable
discharge carries with it all back pay
or bounty that the soldier would have
been entitled to had he not been
marked as deserter. The bill applies
to four classes Of soldiers:
First-Those who were not with
their commands when they were mus
tered out, and therefore failed to be
discharged with the rest, but who had
served six months or more, or to the
expiration of their term Of enlistment,
or up to May /, 1865, when the war
was practically over. or by wounds
or sickness were unable to finish their
term of enlistment
