Doings of a Mob.

SPRINGvALE, Maine, June 12.-Trouble
which has been brewing for some time over
the enforcement Of the prohibtory law cul-
minated last night in the organization Of q
mob armed with revolvers and stones and
attacks upon II number of houses, in which
windows were smashed and other damage
was done. The gang went to the house of
William H. Frost, about quarter of a mile
from the village, and sent shower of rocks
through the windows, accompanied by a
voley Of bullets from revolvers, fired in
reckless disregard Of the sleeping family
within. Taking the direct road to the
village the mob next stopped at the
house Of John W. Frost, trial justice.
Here shots were fired into the house,
where women, children and an old
man were sleeping. Fortunately no one
was hurt. but the windows were demolish-
ed The house of G. Fl Roberts was next
visited. Here also the windows were smash
ed and the furniture damaged. The resi-.
dence of Wilson Cheney, a prominent cloth
ing dealer, was also treated to volley OF
rocks. The final effort ofthe mob was made
against the Office Of the Adrocate. The edi-

STAUNToN, June 9, 1SS5.-To-day being
the appointed time for decorating the graves
of the Confederate dead buried at Thorn
Rose Cemetery at this place, large crowd
of citizens, both from the county and city,
assembled in front of the Opera House, on
Main street, at 10 o'clock. The procession,
though possibly not so large as upon some
former occasions, was very creditable, and
showed that the people have not forgotten
to honor their dead, though nearly quar-
ter of century has elapsed since they were
laid away to rest. The procession was
headed by the officers of the Monumental
Association, followed by the Independent
Fire Company, the Staunton Artillery, the
famous old "Stonewall" brigade band and u
large concourse of citizens in carriages, on
horseback and on foot. Upon reaching the
cemetery the corner stone of the monument
to be erected to the memory of the Conted-
crate dead buried there was laid with ap-
propriate Masonic honors, after which the
Grafton of the day was delivered by Rev. J.
p. Strider, followed by Mr.. Lyell, from
Rockbridge, both Of whom are most pleas

ALEXANDRIA, VA
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE -.

Mr.. TAYLOR, the man who occupies Inc
seat in Congress that was filled by the late
President Garfield, in his speech as tempo
rary chairman of the State republican con-
yention of Ohio, yesterday, said
"Even now men who boast OF their
TREASON and who have disdainfully refus'
ed citizenship. men who openly arow
their devotion TO Jeti Davis, are ap-
nointad to places of the highest trust,
while men who fought in the Union army
are removed to make places for bonstiul
rebeIs It is scene to make angels weep
and to sting every loyal man in this land a.
with u scorpions fang, when, upon the iloor
of the American Congress, there are TO be
found men to stand up, and, with serene
satisfaction, parade before the country the
fact that they were in the Confederate Con-
press' that they were in the Confederate
army and with warm eulogiums declare
Jefferson Davis to be man OF honor and
patriot Ohio should be forever proud that
she had one Senator who dared to rise III
his place and declare that Jeh Davis was
conspirator and traitor, in the war and be-
fore the war. and would be so branded for
a thousand years 10 come. But the enIo'
DIST of the arch traitor, the man who resign
ed his seat in the United States Congress
in 1850 to take seat in the secession con-
yention of his State, and fight in the rebel
army. and who was the trusted and conf
dental agent of the confederacy abroad,
during the war, is to-day at the head OF the
department which controls all the pension
interests of the Union soldiers, and is hon
ored with q seat in the Presidents Cabinet.
Three months Of Cleveland's adminlstra'
ton have scarcely elapsed and yet we have
seen q score of unrepentant rebels placed III
representative positions abroad. We have
seen the stars and stripes at halt-mast III
Washington in honor of the man who plot
ted to burn northern cities and lay waste
northern states. We have seen honors phi
ed mountain high on red-handed traitors,
while Union men and Union soldiers are d.
rected to pass by on the other side"
His speech was received with rounds OF
applause, and is commended by the repub
lican press generally. This shows plainly
enough that with the republicans of Ohio,
if not with those Of the whole country, the
war is not yet over; and it suggests the idea
that if it's revival could restore the republi-
can party to power, the leaders of that par
ty would not hesitate to avail themselves OF
its bloody means to do so, the more espe.
cially as most all of them have been made
rich either by corruption or protection, and
could, even better than they did before, af-
ford to employ substitutes. How men hold
ing the opinions Of the Southern people
expressed by Mr.. Taylor can live in
civil association with them is hard
to tell-it would be impossible for them to do
so if their feelings were reciprocated. But
still, when, away from home, they meet their
fellow citizens from the South, they are AS
mild hammered as they know how TO be.

Mrs. GARFIELD's FoRTUNE.-The sub
scription raised through the fundamentally
of Cyrus w. Field aggregated, when invest
ed in government bonds, about $4,000.
General Garfeld's life was insured for
$50 900, the payment of which the companies
for the sake Of the extended advertisement
it would give them, if for no other purpose,
promptly made. Congressalso voted her the
remnant Of the salary which would have
been due General Garfield for the first year
of service rs President, which amounted to
$4,000. The little estate which Garfield
left aggregates some $4,000. This was all
he had been ably to accumulate after q life
of unusual activity. This makes her total
estate, in round numbers, about $3.50, 900 in
money we'll invested. From this an income
of probably $4,000 is derived. In addition
to that she has from Congress an annual
pension Of $1,000, which is now voted to the
widows Of all exPresidents.

porter of its often-eSpressed views, TO
the effect that the fact that an office holder

tunity for delay in confirming him in order
to investigate those charges, and, If posi-

officehoiders should BE- removed because they
are republicans, and that public sentiment

the Presidents future would bc stronger II
he stood on the broad plank Of the right to
surround himself with men Of his own party,

1T is STATED that the failure Of Cluverius
to account for himself from eight to twelve
o'clock on the night of the death Of his
Young cousin was the cause of his convic
ton In times not very remote Virginia
was the land of chivalry, where to kiss and
tell was worse than murder, and where men
would meet death hundred times to save
the fair names of their sweethearts. But if
the statement referred to be true, those times
have not only departed, but even their
memory has been lost to the people of the
reconstructed State, and the ideas that once
prevailed have ceased to exist in the land
which lately fostered them-that is if the
jurymen were fair representatives of the

daughter lying upon the bed dead with
nearly her whole face blown OIL. Charles
was standing in the corner of the room with
the gun in his hands not appearing Mt all

happened and he replied that he had shot
Katie while she was lying in bed asleep as
he was handling the gun, which was an old
one, and had been standing in the room
long time loaded. The load, which was a
heavy charge Of bucksbot, had entered the
little girls throat directly under the chin
