retained in office and to receive APP
pOintments were presented. Of course
Burdette dIsclaimed any lack of con-
fidence in the president, said of course
the president assured him of his inten-
| ton to observe the spirit as well as the
letter of the law.
Nor was tina. any empty assurance
since in all departments of the govern
ment the rule observed, if not openly
declared, is that when a soldier is re-
moved a soldier shall be put in his
place if possible. This policy made eX-
Congressman Anderson collector of in
ternal revenue at Cairo, and in many
notable cases it has been recognized in
important as well as minor appoint
ments. The administration does not
accord any greater right to the Repub-
lican who was a soldier to remain in
office if unfit or offensive than to the
Republican who was not a soldier. 1t
recognizes the fact that Democratic
soldiers have had little consideration
and the time has come to give them
some show.
This is about what this visiting COM
mittee of the G. A. r. learned in more
than one department visited on their
rounds Wednesday. Gen. Rosencrans,
who has a war record that enables
him to speak plainly, told them blunt
ly that there were so many Democrat
ic Union soldiers out of employment
that, other things being equal, he
hoped the administration would give
them the preference. The sixth aud
itor of the treasury, Mr.. McConnville
of Ohio, who has charge of the postal
department accounts, was even more
direct in his response when the COM
mittee dropped into his office. he said
that the @. A. r. had done nothing to
get Democratic soldiers in office under
administrations and he
could get along without their advice
and assistance now. He informed
them that he found but one Demo- |
cratic veteran in his office when he |
took charge, and that man was Repub- |
Iican when appointed, and who had |
afterwards realized the error of his |
politics and turned Democratic. Nc |

THE Lost Year"

We are of those who believe that, by
reason of differentiation on the part
of the State Board of equalization, the
railroads in Missouri do not pay their
just proportion of taxes. If the assess
ment of property belonging to individ
uals no more nearly approached the true
value of that property than does the
valuation put upon railroads, State and
county machinery in one year would
come to a full stop by reason of lack of
revenue. This injustice ought and
must be remedied. But putting the
taxpayers upon false scent will only
result in delaying justice, and for that
reason we regret that the story that
the railroads had escaped the payment
of one years taxes by reason of non-as-
sessment, should ever have been start
ed. The matter was brought before
TIE late meeting Of the Board of Equal
ization, thoroughly examined, and the
falsity of the claim fully proven. The
details are given by the Board, printed
in pamphlet form, and circulated
among the people. We should like to
give them in full, but space forbids.
The concluding paragraph is as follows:
Equitably, the railroads, in place of being
one year behind in the assessment and ipay
ment of their taxes, are really one year
ahead. In 1872, the real estate, property and
effects, OF the railroads were taxed and the
taxes collected thereon in and within the
year 1872, while on the real estate owned by
individuals in 1872, under a like law, the levy
was not made nor was the tax collected until
1878. The railroads, probably by reason of
the many changes in ownership, haye not
excepted or sought to obtain credit for this
advance payment, but have, since 1872, paid
their taxes promptly and regularly for every
year, rs the collectors of the State well know
and can so testify. The City of st. Louis and
other large counties of the State, with COM
potent and careful officers equally interested,
have made no complaint of a lost year. They
could not. In these counties the levy and
collection of the railroad tax was attended
TO and the money is in their treasures. Let
well enough alone. The lost year is a myth.

Grant is Dead.

Gen. Grant breathed his last at MI
McGregor, near Saratoga, n. y, on
the ODD inst.
The cancer of the tongue and throat
with (which he was attacked many
months ago, resisted all the skill ana
vigilance of the physicians.
His struggle for victory over this
dread disease was as heroic as any he
ever made npon the battlefield. Pa
tient under his accute suffering, tena-
cious of life, the struggle was prolonged
beyond what would have been possible
with most men. 1t was the unyield-
ing purpose of the heroic man that
seemed to enable his weakened body
to clinu to life long after all hope had
vanished from all others.
There has been no death since that
of Lincoln, in this..community,that Will
so impress every heart with a sense OF
personal loss, and will draw from every
tongue the expression that great man
has died, as will this death of Ulysses
g. Grant.
It will be the verdict of history that
Grant was good man and great
soldier.
He was an unselfish patriot; loved
his country and its institutions, and
was always true to his friends, even to
the point of damaging, now and then,
his own reputation. That he was
statesman is not claimed for him; new
ertheless his purposes were honest, and |
his aspirations were all for his coun-
try's good.
Whatever damage his civil record |
suffered, CAME from over-confidence in |
pretended friends, and his unsuspect-
ing nature, and hence entanglements |
with political schemers and corruption |
ists. But all this came from no fault |
nj his heart, nor from any want of high |
and pure purposes of Gen. Grant.
He was not military genius, in the
sense I'm which that term is commonly |
aoplied and understood. He did not '

The Louisville Courier-Journal says
that when the Adjutant-General was

the Governor in May to see about the
murders down there, he found 1.-THE
people talked to him with marked
timidity," and the Sheriff, out of a
summoned posse of $50, could only get
eight to respond. The judge holding
court, too, was afraid to ask for troops
lest he should be held responsible and
murdered on their arrival. The Adj
jutant-General seems to have been
amused with the way justice was dealt
out to small offenders. They were
promptly convicted and savage SEN

fences were never carried out, land

that one in fifty of the voting popula-
ton of Bell County is charged with
murder. So much for Bell County
In Rowan County the numbering is
mainly done by two factions, the Mar
tins and the Tollivers. One of the
Tollivers was recently on trial for kill
ing Ben Reyborn when trying to kill
one of the Martins, and the County
Attorney, being connected with one of
the factions, left the case in the hands
of the Attorney G neral, Hardin. At
the trial, however, the County Attor-
ney appeared to denounce one of the
prosecution, and to show his sympa-
thy with the accused, and neither the
Attorney-General nor the Court seems
to have been able to silence him with
out killing him. The County Attorney
was anxious to have it believed that
certain man had been engaged by the
Martins to kill him for $50. Murder
ers in Kentucky are, in fact, frequent
ly retained for small sums. 1t seems
at this distance as if the Attorney
General and the Judge ought to have
killed Young, the County A ttorney, in
open court, and then the Martins pres
ent would have killed the prisoner, be-
sides losing some of their own number
