vICE-PREsIDENT HENDRICKS.
He Says 1t Is the limo for Americans to Re
iOice.

joice.
New York Herald
Vice president Hendricks was in jolly good
humor at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night
He said that there was reason for everybody TO
rejoice. 1t is the time for Americans to re-
joice," he said. "We have witnessed the most
remarkable event in American history. The
Southern people express but one sentiment
Peace good will and reconciliation I was
making a pleasant trip in the Lake Superior re-
gion when the sad news of General Grants
death reached me. Immediately determined to
attend the funeral What do think of the effect
it will have on the countryl inst what / have
longed for-universal good feeling and common
sympathy among the people 1t is most giori-
condition of affairs. have talked with
generals and representative men of the South,
and heard but one opinion expressed-that the
country is cemented in the spirit Of brotherhood
at last. Not one word have / heard Of criticism
or dissension. All are delighted at the prospect
OF harmony between men OF all parties and sec
tlons L consider this meeting OF the leaders or
the North and South, East and West, as of ines
timable value to the welfare of the country and
people 1t will be the wonder and admiration OF
mankind throughout the world. When l was
in the Northwest few days ago and on nay
journey nither, the tenderest regard was every
where exhibited for General Grant"
What has greatly endeared him to the
Southern people has been his manly and just
appreciation of their wants. He showed deli
cate regard for their helpless condition at the
close OF the war. I1e c0nQucteQ MS campaigns
in legitimate way. He made war like
soldier. He never went outside the strict usages
of honorable warfare. Nothing could swerve
him from his purpose He was soldier and not
politician. He never sought personal advance
ment or benefit through the victories he had
won. General Grant did what he had to do in
way that won admiration from the men he had
conquered. They could not help believing in
his sincerity, because he was honest"
what effect will this new condition of public
sentiment have on men like Blaine and Logan,
Mr. Hendricks" asked the reporter.
Il must be excused from expressing an opin-
ion just now" was the reply.
In response to a question Mr. Hendricks said
that President Cleveland had gone to the Adiron-
dacks to be absent about two weeks before he
returned to Washington.
In reference to the Indian question the Vice
president said, with great emphasis, that in it is
a mine of rascality that needed investigation
The part that the railroad corporations had
played in getting control of Indian lands was
blot upon the country.
In regard to the location of General Grants
burial place Vice president Hendricks said it
was beautiful, but the most appropriate site was
in Washington, where all the Union generals
should be buried near each other around Grant.

Gold Coin by Mail.
San francisco Chronicle.


For more than six weeks past q rumor has
been current that large amounts of government
treasure were being transferred from the San
Francisco sub-treasury to the sub-treasury atNew
York. After a thorough investigation reporter
Of the Chronicle succeeded yesterday in discov-
ering that the reports were not without feunda-
ton 1t was definitely ascertained that during
the present and past weeks hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in gold coin had been sent by
mail from this city to New York When ques-
toned upon this subject yesterday a we'll known
business man who has thoroughly studied the
matter said 81 am positive that large ship
ments ri gold have recently been made to
Gotham by mail. In fact. l have seen
packed in boxes, myself. 1t is sent down by
colored expressman and the treasure 10
guarded by one mail clerk. At the post Office
the money is put up in four pound sacks and
then packed in rawhide trunks each receptacle
holding exactly $4,000 Take the present
week, for instance aud by days the mail ship
ments were On Tuesday, $500, 900; Wednesday,
$500, 900; Thursday, 5000, 900; and to-day $780,,
600" But is there not certain amount OF
negligence displayed in guarding this treasurer
Eyes, it would seem The rawhide bound
are placed on trucks and taken over on the Oak
land boat. watched by the railroad postal clerk
only, and, in fact. think he is the only guard
over the money until it reaches its destination
Any person can draw his own conclusions as TO
the amount of negligence displayed by the Treas
ury officials" Beyond this the gentleman would
say nothing. and the investigator questioned the
Postofice officials. They would throw no lghs
upon the subject OF course. treasure could be
carried as we'll as packages OF merchandise oy
mail They would neither confirm nor deny

If Police Lieutenant Mnllin, Of Cincinnati,
had, on election day, locked up two hundred
instead of one hundred colored men who had
committed no offense, and had detained them
until after the polls were closed, he would
probably have been pardoned after serving
three months of his years sentence Of impris-
Onment instead of six months. Evidently in
the Presidents eyes this oversight of Mr..
Mullin constitutes his ''misapprehension of
I,,tx.

IT has been suggested by certain Demo
cratic papers that the Republican press is
fearful that when Jeff. Davis dies some of the
Northern soldiers, by way of reciprocity, will
be called upon to act as pall-bearers. We
know nothing about the probability of such a
thing, but are quite certain that at any time
during the last quarter of century any num-
Der of Union soldiers would cheerfully have
volunteered such services rather than have
the funeral postponed.

THE President has just pardoned man
named Mueller, Cincinnati policeman, who
was convicted under an Indictment charging
him with conspiracy to fraudulently prevent
Republicans from voting there at the presi
Dental election. The fraud, it will be no
ticed, was in Cleyelands interests. He was
tried in the United States Court before Judge
Baxter and a jury. He was sentenced to one
years Imprisonment. He had fair trial, and
was defended by able lawyers. The court re-
fused to grant new trial, being satisfied that
he was lawfully convicted. The President,
however, pardons him for no apparent
reason other than that he is Democrat. The
some lucrative place in the Cincinnati custom
house, wherein several ex-convicts, who have
"done the State some service under compul
sion, are enjoying official positions by the
grace Of this administration. The jail-bird
recently appointed postmaster in Maine will
also have to be pardoned, so as to give him an
opportunity to discharge the duties Of his
Office. It will be remembered that
Postmaster-general Villas issued circular
containing series of questions for Demo
cratic applicants for office to answer The
first one was "Have you ever been indicted|
1t was thought this implied discrimination
against the indicted. But this seems to have
been Misrepresentation. Conviction appears
to be recommendation. Falstaff said his
company marched wide betwixt the legs, as
if they had gives on "Indeed," ne said,
he "had most of them out of prison." The
administration is recruiting from the same
source. Falstaff, however, must be credited
with the fact that he was ashamed Of his
company. The President is said, by his
friends, to be man of convictions, and that
he likes men Of that kind. Applicants should
file their prison discharges, though tickets of
leave will answer. Turn the rascals out-of
prison. 70 the convicted belong the spoils.

IT is announced with flourish of trum.
pets, that Pension Commissioner Black pro-
poses to wage relentless war on fraudulent
pensioners, and to cut off at once all fraudu-
lent pensions. That's right. He should stop
his own without moments delay. He is
drawing pension of 800 per month, by a
special act Of Congress, upon evidence pre-
sented that he was 'total physical wreck,
that (in the language of one of his witnesses)
che was absolutely destroyed" 1t must have
been his conscience that was destroyed.
Soldiers have to take their pensions under the
general pension law, which provides uniform
rate according to disability for all alike
Why couldn't Commissioner Black take his
pension under the general law, like the rest?
Was he afraid that the medical examinations
all other pensioners have to submit to wouldn't
rate his disability very hight The general
law provides for his kind of disability, and all
the rest injured like him have to take under
it. Come, now, Commissioner Black, before
you cut off any poor soldiers pension, don't
you think it would be fair for you first to
submit to the regular examination to ascertain
your real pensonable disability You are
drawing the highest pension on the list. No
one else gets as much. Your own is a good
case to begin on. Some other things besides
charity should begin at home. If Commits
sioner Black doesn't investigate his own pen
sion, perhaps Congress might-that is, if he
feels any delicacy about it.

THE phlegrnatic press, with characteristic
stupidity and delay, has again allowed "the
ST. Louis paper published in New York" to
steal march on them. The remarkable and
altogether creditable achievement of the
World, in undertaking and pushing to success
the 100000 subscription to the Liberty ped
estal, seems to have had no effect on the rea-
soning powers of New York New York pa
pers, and, after waiting reasonable length Of
time to allow any other a chance to do for the
memory of General Grant what the World has
so grandly done for "Liberty," the
World quietly announces that, having
finished raising the sum needed for
the completion of the pedestal, it will under
take that of raising fund for monument in
Claremont. The sheer at the World that it
was nothing but Western paper in field
where it could never hope for success is heard
no more. Western energy, and pluck, and
daring have carried it TO tie front, and if it's
unchallenged statements be true, it now has
the largest daily circulation in New York. 1t
was a Western characteristic in the World to
believe that the people, properly approached,
would furnish the money to build the Liberty
pedestal and save the Nation from the
shame of failure. AT first it was regarded as
a preposterous undertaking. and few of the
press, even in New York, thought it possible
of achievement. But now, with the prestige
of Donelson, the World cali confidently 60
on to the undertaking Of leading the people to
fifty honor the hero of Vicksburg. The ca
reer Of the World under the management of
Mr.. Pulitzer has demonstrated that Western
newspapers arc as good, and that Western
newspaper men know about as we'll how to
conduct daily paper, as any in the country.
The politics of the World are extremely dis
tasteful, but we wish it success in this new
undertaking.

upon. 1t is also intimated with great direct
ness that this Independent body will not sup
port a Republican candidate the election of
whom cannot be regarded as an approval of
the Presidents course. If it should happen
that a Jeffersonian or rock-ribbed Democrat is
