Tenure OF once.

There seem doubts in the minds of
many as to the result In case the Senate
refuses to confirm appointments made
by the President in cases where he has
suspended officers. The facts are briefly
stated as follows.
Where an officer has been suspended
during the recess of Congress and
another designated to take his place;
the law makes it the duty of the Presi-
dent to send a nomination to the Senate
within 80 days from the time Congress
convenes; and in case such nomination
is rejected by the Senate then the Of
ficer who was suspended, provided the
term for which he was appointed has
not expired, il restored to duty; and the
law makes 1t the duty of the person
who has been acting in such capacity
to turn over all public records, &c., to
the officer reinstated.
We had case of that kind In this
city in 1877; when Capt. Bowling was
suspended by President Hayes, and
Alex. Reed appointed In his stead.
Mr.. Reed held the office five months,
but the Senate refused TO confirm the
appointment. aud Capt. Bowling was
at once directed by the Postmaster
General to take possession of the office,
which he did and served out his term.
Mr.. Reed was then renominated, but
the Senate rejected him, when G. H.
Eddy was nominated and confirmed. =.

Do you really wish the merchants of
your own town to grant you favors
when ever opportunity offers? How
can you secure this? By meeting all
obligations honestly contracted as
promptly as possible, then paying cash
when you have it to pay, instead of
buying for cash of peddlers and foreign
dealers who never trust or oraccommodate
you, who never care for your misfor-
tune as do your home merchants, who
always meet you half way, and who
make many Of the burdens you bear
easier, because knowing your misfor-
tune he sympathizes with you, extends
your period of credit and only asks that
you be manly and honest with him
that you may merit his continued con-
fidence, and in return bestow upon him
your patronage, which he has a right
to expect. The man who arrogantly
asserts that he will "buy wherever It
pleases him. usually does so with the
cash, but if you are just little watch
full you will discover that the same fell
low always gets trusted whenever he
can" Because of his irresponsibility
his patronage is valueless, and, also,
generally speaking, his influence in the
community.-Er.

How q Post -Mortem is Made.

Few persons upon reading an account
afa post-mortem examination stop to
consider the Importance of the matter.
The post-mortem surgeons are officers
who make medicO-examinations and
are the medical witnesses for the State
In cases where examinations are re-
quested.
A baltimore Sun reporter, wishing to
witness the post-mortem work, called
on DR.. Hoopman as he was starting to
perform such duty. The case was q
very important one, being one Of the
late murders committed In the eastern
section of that city. Arriving at the
house, about twenty medical students
We're found, who accompanied DR..
HOopman to the room where the dead
body lay. "A table was prepared by
covering it with an oil cloth, The
clothing was removed from the body,
and 1t was placed on the table. The
Doctor carefully inspected the corpse
and noted all wounds, which in this
case were found to be three, two bullet
wounds and one knife cash. The head
was first examined. An incision was
made from ear toear over the top of
the head, followed by cash of blood,
which made some of the spectators re-
member that they were needed outside
for a moment. The scalp was reflected
backward and the skull exposed. The
skull was then sawed around on line
with the eyebrows. When the top of
the skull was removed the doctor took
out the brain, That beautiful organ,
with its assures and convolutions, was
4 massof blood, the fatal bullet having
plowed Its way diagonally through It.
An inspection of the neck showed that
another bullet had entered at the back,
passing through toward the rontserver-
ing the corotid artery and jugular vein.
The next move was to make long in-
cision from the chin down to the naval.
The breast bone was dissected and the
heart and lungs taken out for inspec-
tion. After q careDsl examination of
the heart the doctor remarked that 1.-THE
cOlumnR earnse chorda teninm and
anricular ventricular and semi lunar
valves are healthy The lungs were
found healthy. A piece thrown in
water would not sink which the doctor
said was q testfor healthy lungs. The

We must not let eagerness to put
down polygany in Utah carry us into
mischiev0us excess. The bill introduce
ed by Senator Edmunds providing for a
seizure of the property Of the Mormon
Church seems to point in this direction.
1t empowers the President to appoint
fourteen trustees to administer this
property, and to make reports on 1t to
the Secretary of the Interior. The sole
reason for this is the fact that certain
members Of the Mormon Church prac-
tise polygamy, and the Mormon clergy
teach its lawfulness, if not its righteous
ness. Aoart from polygamy there
seems to be no more objection to the
Mormon Church than there is to any
church in which the clergy are very
pcwerful and the people very ignorant.
Polygamyi Is now legal offence, and it
has deem the practice Of the United
States hitherto, and q very wholesome
practice it is, when legal offences are
committed, to search out and punish
those, and those only, who commit
them, by due process of law. The pre-
vention of offences by the seizure of
property, whether belonging to corpora
tiOns or individuals, such as the Ed
munds bill contemplates, is, we be-
lieve, something hitherto unknown in
our Jurisprudence or politics, and might
prove most unfortunate precedent.
Ifthe Mormon Church as a corporation
has no legal or proper standing, it
ought to be wound up In the usual way,
and its property distributed among the
parties In interest. Its seizure and ad-
ministration by Government trustees
would be a proceeding which we trust
Congress will never sanction for any
purpose whatever. The Nation.

When the bottom had fallen out Of
the Southern Confederaey, among the
belligerent warriors who were for fight
ing 70 the last was Joe Shelby, Of Mis-
souri,. Shelby Notified General Taylor,
who surrendered to Candy, that II he
included him and his command in the
surrender he would let. day light
through him at the first opportunity.
Taylor knew Shelby, and when he in
cluded him In capitalization he made up
his mind to keep good lookout when

with his followers, and finally crossed
the Rio Grande and reached o place
where he could rest without fear Of be-
ing stirred up by United States cavalry.
Persons familiar with military move
ments are aware that bodies Of troops
continually scouting or raiding when
attacked ALWAYS await orders before re-
turning fire.
One night lot of "Pronunciamien-
tos." who fought alternately under
Canales or Cortina, according to which
issued the last pronunciamiento, hit
upon the happy idea of capturing
Shelby's command. One night while
in the land of dreams the camp was
fired into and q conglomerated mass of
greasers poured in like set of cow
boys taking possession of a town. Every
old veteran silently gripped his revolver
and awaited orders. Cries of "What's
the order?" were responded to by Shell
by. who thundered out; "Shoot every
thing standing up" Each greaser was
outlined against the sky, and when
the firing ceased there was nothing
erect except the horses attached to the
command.
"An further orders, General?" asked
an officer.
"Any thing standing up?" asked
Shelby.
mo, sir" was the reply.
'.Then, go to sleepW yelled Shelby.
The command went to sleep accord
ing to orders, but decided next day that
the Texas side was a healthier country
by large majority.
