BY their votes for Mir. Cleveland a majority of the people of this Union have said that an immediate and complete change of Federal oflice-holders is but little, ii any, less desired than 6 change in the policy of the government upon the leading political questions of the day, and, therefore, no cabinet minister should make of himself an exasperating stumbling block be- tween them and their representa-. lives aud the President

Must Have Been Thinking of Som Q
 Other Election.

It seems that a great man can "put his foot in it'' just as easy as anybody else whenever he gets slightly out of place, and is not looking. The illustrious Secre- tary of State ran out to a little town in Missouri the other day, ostensibly to witness the mveillng of small monumental tablet to the mcmofy of Thomas Jefferson and ill a brief impromptu speech, in an unguarded moment, said just a little more about bis grandfather than is corrOborated by authentic history. To show that his worthy ancestor was great and patriotic enough to risr above party consid- egations, as well as to prove that he was entitled to some credit for the defeat of Aaron Burr and the election of MT. Jefferson. and being mistaken himself, or presum
 ing upon the lack of historic knowledge among his auditors, Mr. Bayard sad that when the contest for the Presidency between Mr. Jefferson and Burr was thrown into the House of Representatives his grandfather, at that time a Federalist Representative Ill Con grcss from Delcwarc, perhaps more in dcfercnce to the advice, or por6u asion, of AlXander HamiI- ton. the Federalist leader, than obedience to his own judgment and sense of duty, refused 10 vote for Burr, and voted for Mir. lief ferson. and was thereby chiefly in strumental in the defeat of the for mer, and the election ot the latter, who-he said-was elected by OIL ly one majority. But some ofSen- ator Vests damn newspaper fcl. lows" happened to be in hearing, as usual, and when the next lAue of their papers came out Mr. Bay ard was promptly informed that his honorable grandsire stood sol i'd for Burr for thirty-fye ballots, and never did vote for Jefferson, but that on the thirty-sixth and last ballot, he and the members from South Carolina, and it may have been upon the advice of MT. Hamilton, did refuse to vote for Burr. But they did not vote for Jeffcrson-they simply voted their States blank. And history also shows pretty clearly that this was after Mr. Bayard must have seen that the election Of Burr was i'm possible, and that Jefferson Wousu be elected in spite of his vote, Moreover his blank vote con- tributed nothing towards the cleo of Jefferson, It was rather an ob- stac!e in his way. It went 10 swell the total number of volSs cast, and make the majority for Mir. Jefferson to overcome that much larger. The House voted by States, sixteen States voting, each State counting one yote-necessary to d choice, nine. On the hirty-slxth ballot Jefferson received Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Penn sylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia-10. Burr received Con- necticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island -i. Blank, Delaware and South Caro- lina-2 Possibly the distinguish ed Secretary was thinking of some other election.

posed the mine TO be located and find
ing no babitation or signs of life
thought they must have missed their
way. Returning they stopped at the
first house on their way to Leadville
and informed the proprietor there that
they had failed TO find the mine. This
proprietor, however being well ac-
quainted with the locus OF the mine
and buildings connected Herewith,
was quite sure from the description
given that the searchers had been at
the spot where the habitations should
be found. lie at once came to the
conclusion that the buildings at the
mine had been swept away by snow
slide and all the parties living there
killed and determined to go early next
morning and see for himself.
"He started at about A. M. from
his place, which is eight miles from the
mine, and arriving two hours later,
where he knew the house should be, he
could see no vestige of it. Returning
to his home he came to town imme-
diately and telegrapbed to Leadville
tho result of his search and asked that
men be sent next day with tools to dig
in the deep snow for the missing min
ers. The evening of the day that 1t be-
came known that these were missing /
sent out four men to make search for
them, thinking that they might only
have been entombed few days before
and that possibly some of them might
be found alive. The party arrived at
the place where they knew the house
should be found at 10 =. NJ, but could
not find traces of the house or its in.
habitants. They found the ore house
intact, but its doorwsys were so filed
with snow that they could not gain an
entrance through them. They succeed
ed in affecting an entrance by breaking
window and were satisfied that no
work had been done there for many
weeks.
"The same evening large rescuing
party was organized in Leadville, at
whose disposal the railroad superin-
tendent placed special train. The
party was joined at places along the
road by quite a number of men, and
about one hundred in all went to the
scene. One member of the party knew
the exact spot where the house should
be and they commenced digging in the
deep snow Immediately on their arri-
val When they had dug down some
twelve feet they came to the roof of
the house. which had fallen in and kill
ed all the inmates. From the ruins
they exhumed ten bodies, all in an ad.
vanced state of decomposition. As the
dead miners were all in their night
clothes it was evident the calamity
overlook them when wrapped in slum-
ber.
"a sealed letter was found on the
table in the room in which the bodies
were discovered, addressed to a girl of
Ohio, cousin of the writer. This let
ter was dated February 20 and states
that the writer had commenced it the
evening before closing it. This fact
goes to prove that the unfortunate
miners had been entombed more
than two months before they were
found.

Ten Burned Miners.

A letter just received last week at

astrous snow-slides in the Tennessee
Pass, between Leadville and Red Cliff,

What the Doctors Say Of Grant.

The Medical Record publishes the
following opinions of the doctors of the
condition of General Grant:
During the past week Gen. Grants
bodily health has much improved, and
he has been enabled to enjoy short
drives in Central Park, to walk short
distances out of doors, and 10 do a
considerable amount of literary work
on his forthcoming memoirs. His ap-
petite is better, he has relish for his
food, and his swallowing is not attend
ed with much pain.
Locally, his disease shows slight
tendency to progress. The sloughy
exudation has disappeared, exposing
exuberant fungoid granulations in its
place. This condition still involves
the right and posterior parts of the
pharynx, the right tonsillar region, and
the right side of the base of the tongue.
The palatal curtain is still considerably
infiltrated, although all signs of acute
in1ammatory trouble have disappear
ed. At the base of the uvula, on the
right side, a small fungoid excrescence
has developed, which has shown dis
position to extend.
On the free margin of the palatal
curtain, midway between the uvula
and right tonsillar region, a similar
growth of very small size has also ap-
peared. The alteration at the base of
the right anterior faucial pillar, and
alongside of the tongue, presents
worm-eaten surface, indicating an ex-
tension of the destructive process. The
breathing is free and the voice is clear,
but the movements of the tongue are
somewhat restricted, affecting articula-
ton accordingly. The enlarged glands
under and around the right angle of
the lower jaw are somewhat harder,
and, in consequence of surrounding in
flammatory infltration, are quite firm
ly fixed There is, however, less pain
in the diseased parts than formerly,
and the secretion Of mucus is less abur-
dant The patient obtains full nights
sleep with minimum amount of NOR
phine, and awakes in the morning feel
ing much refreshed. Despite the favo-
rable general condition, there have
been, unfortunately, no changes in
the local disease to warrant any modi-
fication of the original diagnosis by
the members of the medical staff.

If, as the Republican says, Lieut..
Robson was murdered in 1864, and
the editor of that paper knows who
the murderers are, but will not tell, he
is an accessory after the fact and ought
to be indicted. ANY one who knows
the perpetrators of a crime, and will
fully conceals their names, ought not
to prate 30 loudly about the negligence
of democratic district attorneys who
have been unable to discover who shot
Robson. Has the Republican ever
before urged the prosecuting author
tiles" to make any arrests in this mat
ter? Has it ever given any informa.
ticn to the proper officers, that would
lead TO the arrest and conviction of
these murderers If so, the public is
Ignorant of the fact. The truth of the
matter is that all the circumstances of
that unfortunate affair were such that
it would have been impossible to con-
vict anyone of murder at any time
since the passions of the war subsid-
ed.
With the controversy between our
correspondent Democrat" and the
Republican we have nothing to do, but
the unfounded and unjust charges
against public officials of their neglect
of duty in case of alleged murder,
cannot be permitted to pass unnoticed.
The Investigation alluded to by the
Republican seems to have been a slow
one, as it has taken twenty-one years
to get it in motion, yet during all that
time the country has had republican
administration, and the shooting is al
legged TO have been done in resistance
to United States authorities. If mur-
der was committed and suffered to go
unpunished, the republican party is re
spOnsible for it.

criminal fleeing the justice Of another
jurisdiction-but, no matter who he is

10 the army or navy of the United

Jersey, and who all his lite has been a
resident of that state, may go into
Philadelphia and die there, or one
from the State of New York may
wander into and die in any county on
our Northern border, and in each case
the county in which the soldier dies
becomes liable for an expenditure of
$50 for his burial. And so of desti-
tute soldiers coming into our Common
wealth from any other state-no mat
ter how they come or what caused
their destitution, 80 that they get into
our State and die there, this bill oper-
ates to charge the counties which may
be 30 unfortunate as to be the places
of their death with the cost of their

Secretary Cham!,erlin of the State
Board of Agriculture places the wheat
area in Ohio at 93 per cent. and the
condition of the crop at SO per cent
ard says that, with good weather, the
yield will be 22,87l, $50 bushels, as
compared with a five years average of
41,005,247 bushels. From official and
other kilograms and letters from twen-
ty other States he estimates the short
age of the wheat crop at 15O,2l1,ol9
bushels, as compared with the five
years average of 412,355,699 bushels,
or of over 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels as com

Secretary Manning has directed that
the issue of 81 and 81 notes be discon-
tlnued for the present. 1t is said by
non-officials that this action has been
taken for the purpose of forcing the
subsidiary coins into circulation, but
this is denied at the Treasury Depart
ment. 1t Is stated that the discontin-
uance became necessary by reason OF
the excessive issue of these notes Of
late, and because they are coming back
to the Treasury for redemption in about
as good condition as when first issued,
which adds very considerable item
to the expense account of the depart
ment.

The Indlgent Soldiers Burial Bill Returned
Without Approval.

A message was received in the
House from the Governor on Friday
of last week, returning without his ap-
proval the bill requiring the commits
sioners of each county 20 appoint per-
sons to bury and provide headstone
for the body of every honorably dis
charged soldier who shall die in the
county having insufficient means TO de-
fray the necessary burial expenses.
The Governor, among other things,
says
ssThis bill is a remarkable exhibition
of the unwarranted and preposterous
extent TO which mos. laudable and
patriotic sentiment may be carried.
That principle which induces govern
ments to pension and provide for in.
jurod and destitute soldiers is founded
in wise policy as well as dictated by
the spirit of liberal humanity. The
United States and our own Common
wealth have carried this principle into
their laws with no niggard hand.
Thoughtful patriots have not hesitated 10
say that all has been done in this direct
ION that the most generous and grateful
of governments ought to do istently
with common prudence and wise public
policy, and the limit has been reached
beyond which liberality will become
extravagence and benovelehce breed
abuse BY this bill any man who
fought in the United States army in
hDy war and who dies in any courty
Of the State without leaving sufficient
means for his burial, Immediately
becomes a charge upon the county for
his burial TO the amount of $50. He
may never have had residence in the

A letter describing the markets of
New Orleans says everything is sold
by the eye, and there is no standard of
measure. Nine-tenths of the hundreds
who sell in the noted French markets
of the city do not know what bushel
or a peck is. They buy their vegetables
by the lot, and place them in little
piles on tables. These piles are Of diff
ferent sizes and prices. The buyer
looks at the piles and buys that which
he thinks is biggest and best. Some
times buckets and boxes are used to
measure, but they are of all kinds and
shapes.
