LAMARS TRIBUTE TO 4 DASTARDLY OUT
I1W

From Tas p-York Graphic Dem and ardent Admnis-
udtion.)
Secretary Lamar, in ordering the flag over
the Interior Department to be placed hafmast and in
suspending public business in honor OF the memory OF
ex-Secretary Jacob Thompson, committed a serious
error due doubtless to the monentay forgetfuness Of
incontestable historical facts.
Jacob Thompson OF Mississippi had placed himself
beyond the bounds OF civilization by secOnfessed acts
of and incendiaris committed under his orders
and direction in Northern cities during the Civil War
Certain modes of warfare deemed proper
and legitimate under the usages OF civilized
nations and the rules OF international law Burning
cities far removed from the seat Of by stealth and
by means OF Greek fire, explosives and torches in tho
hands OF non-commissoned, unenisted soldiers
force or command, was not war not
legitimate warfare. IL involved the destruction Of
non- conbaants without notice 10 withdraw from
danger and the burning 10 death OF thousands OF nn0
cent children and women, and the crimnally wanton
destruction OF food, clothing and other property not
in any contraband OF war; Jacob Thompsons acts
ana crimcs precisely Identical in their nature with
the barbarous acts and monsr0ns crimes OF the dynamite
outlaws who undertook to destroy public and private
property and innocent lives In London instead OF New
York by similar Thompsons offences defined
In the criminal laws as arson his horrible work tic

and sentenced TO the Pententtary as such He s

4 MORE PEACEFUL OUTLOOK.


The news from Europe is reassul1ng. Whlle
preparations for war are making on large
scale, the opinion prevails that peace will be
maintained LondOn's feeling of alarm caused
by the Queens proclamation has not been shared
on the Continent. The British Cabinet, instead
of considering the situation critical, is con-
fident that hostIlitIes will be averted, but
is resolved to secure peace by acting as II
war were inevitable. This is the judgment Of
our well-informed London correspondent from
whose conclusions we see no reason to dissent.
The Russian Government, apparently, has not
reached decision respecting what has been
termed the British ultimatum. Even IT 1t
rejects the demand, it will naturally offer
counter proposals of some kind and the
negotiations will continue indefinitely. If
the British Government has proposed the
immediate prosecution of the labOrs of the
Joint Boundary Commission. and the suspen-
sion of military movements on the frontier,
the demand is not so defiant as to excite resent
ment in st. Petersburg. Everything points to
a diplomatic rather than military campaign
for the present.
One curious contingency is presented by our
special cable dispatches. The Ameer has not
yet decided whether to accept OF reject the
temporary armstice agreed upon between
London and st. Petersburg. If he insists upon
the immediate retirement of the Russian troops
now threatening Penjdeh, the British Govern
ment will be placed in a most embarrassing
position. 1t has already made this demand and
then hastily withdrawn it. To renew the
challenge would imperil the negotiations with
Russia, and possibly precipitate a conflict; yet
the Ameer is in a position to dictate terms and
what Eastern sovereign is not capricious
Lord Dufferin has a most conspicuous oppor-
tunity for the display of his diplomatic genius.
A military alliance between England and Af-
ghanistan will be another method of securing
peace by preparing resolutely for war; 1t will
increase the probabilities of diplomatic ad-
justment until Russia shall be as well prepared
for war as Englands now affects to be.

MUSIC.
THE SYMPHONY SOCIETY.

The fourth concert of the Symphony Society,
long delayed by the death of Dr. Damrosch and the
operate engagements OF Mr. Walter Dam
rosch and his band in tho West took
place last night in the Metropolitan Opera
House. 1t the first time that the theatre had
been used for orchestral music since the Wagner
certs OF Mr. Thomas year ago next month, and there
was curiosity to test the availability OF the house
for ordinary concert purposes judicous disposition
OF the band IN front Of the curtain. which
kept down, removed the hindrances to success
which were felt last April when great volume OF sound
swallowed up by the vast rigging loft that extended
upwards a hundred feet above the heads OF the per.
formers. The dstlnctness with which the music could
be heard last night in all portions OF the audience
Except the side stalls In the first few whore the

the acoustic properties OF opera house are ad

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.


When the Civil War broke out, John s.

March %, 1876, entered as drummer boy in
Go. q, 3Ith Ohio Infantry. He served with
his command In that capacity until Novem.
Der y, 1863 the day Of the battle of Mission
Ridge. When the drum corps was ordered
to the rear, preparatory to the regiment 60
ing into actiaH, young Kountz stacked" his
drum, got gun AID went into the fight with
his regiment. He got shot in the left leg
In the first assault and was left on the field,
bu, was finally taken of by a member of his
company. He lost the leg by amputation,
but there was plenty Of good boy left, and
after recovering he went TO school another
year, was elected at twenty-five Treasurer of
Lucas county and again Recorder of that
county, and has since been engaged in busl-
nsss in Toledo, o. The incident of Mission
Ridge was made the subject of q poem by
Mrs. Kate i. Sherwood, and "The Drummer
Boy Of Mission Ridge" is familiar through
out the land. His character and life have
been without benish, and he is highly re-
garded in all the relations of life.
When the Grand Army Encampment was
held at Minneapolis last June, although a
number OF worthy and distinguished COM
radcs had earnest friends desiring their cleo
ton as Commanderin-C Chief, the spontane-
Gus expression of the Encampmeut was fer
Joan 5. KountZ, and he was elected Com
mander In the great civic fraternity in which
such men As U. S. Grant and w. T. Sherman
are untitled comrades. He has fulfilled the
best expectations Of his friends in the zeal,
ability and wisdom of his adm nisiratio on.
He IS now making the Grand Rounds" Of
