way the Democrats are revenging themselves
on Arthur for his veto of the Fitz John Porter
bill by endeavoring to defeat the Grant retire

"There is no greater mistake in party war

The Retirement of Gen. Grant.

Washington Special,
Representative Randall favors the passage of
the Edmunds bill to place Gen. Grant Oh the re-
tired list of the army. In speaking yesterday of
this bill, Mr. Randall said he thought it would
be ungracious for the friends of Fitz John Por-
ter to insist upon passing measure for Grants
relief III terms similar to those employed in tho
Porter bill, for the reason that Gen. Grant
acted so handsomely in the Porter case. Mr..
Randall will advocate the passage of the Ed
munds bill when the matter comes up in the
House. Tomorrow being the third Monday of
the month, it will be in order for the committees
to move for the passage of bills under suspension
of the rules and as the committee on military
affairs is the second committee to be called for
the purpose. it is likely the Senate bill of last
year will be brought before the House and voted
upon. Under the rule fifteen minutes are al
lowed each side for discussion. and an interest
ing debate is looked for if the bill comes up

port saying that it is badly winter-killed in

and with little or no snow to protect it until

per cent. from that of last year The agricul-
tural departments and statistical agents of the

port that there will probably be large falling
off in the area sown to wheat this coming
spring. This applies more especially to Iowa,

ducts which they think will result more prof
itably to them.

By strict party vote in the State Senate,
the proposition to investigate the affairs of the
State Treasury was defeated yesterday, and
an emasculated proposition passed to inquire
whether any furthur legislation is needed for
the protection of the funds Of the State. This
is a most remarkable position for the
Democratic party to assume The vote
comedies the necessity, if not the
prorriety, for an investigation; but,
under some influence which we are left
to guess at, the Democrats shrink from a
plain and important duty. Messrs. Demo
Gratis and Mr.. Treasurer Cooper, why is there
such persistent effort made to keep the pub
State funds9 There must be an answer to
this question, in some shape or other. There
must be an unequivocal show-up, or an alb
solute confession that neither the party nor the
treasurer can afford to have it. Which form
of the dilemma will be taken9 Mr. Cooper has
been elected to succeed himself He will
soon give new bond. Suppose that there
should be anything wrong-we do not say
there is, but suppose two years hence
it should be found there was-which
bond will be responsibleY Is it business like
to prevent an accounting? Is it business like
to allow the affairs Of the treasury to pass
without official scrutiny, when the attention
of the Legislature has been called to them by
the Governor, and when there have been so
many rumors and statements afoat that they
have obtruded into the halls of the Legisla-
ture9 Is this the way the honorable gentlemen
would do in their own private matters' We
are making no charges, nor giving currency to
any rumors or suspicious. The Journal
has sought to protect Mr.. Cooper
and the Democratic party against the
serious consequences of their own short
sighted policy. If they can go before the
people of the State with the record they have
thus far made, the Republicans will try and
be content

THE murder of William Druse, of Richield
Springs, N. Y. was one of the most appalling
and most atrocious in the annals of crime He
was murdered by his wife, partly in the pres
ence of her three children, and was aided by
them to dispose of the body. This is the case
in which the remains were boiled and fed to the
hogs, the bones being burned and buried. The
awful crime is thus detailed by en-year-old
son, the very simplicity of his fearful narrative
adding to the horror of the affair. In his testi-
mony before the coroner's jury he artlessly said:
