WITH SUPPLEMENT.

GEN. BoYxTox, the Commercial Ga
zette's Washington correspondent, has
been delving in the musty records OF the
war department since the Senate refused
to confirm Halstead as Minister to Ger
many, and finds that Plumb, the Kan
sas exotic, who voted against the con-
firmation, was not only charged but
convicted OF conspiring TO rob and rob
bling one Crenshaw, whom he had ar
rested while he was provost marshal IN
Kansas. on some trumpet up charge.
While in prison an agent OF Plumb
made him sign bill of sale for 100 cat
tie and SS hogs; sum named inthe bill OF
sale was $3.50, and he was to get $3.50 bnt
never got a cent. He was also made to
sign another bill OF sale for % mu es and
II head of horses for the sum of sl,2OO,
for which he never received mt or
the promise OF any. III y thea Il a le
him sign bill of sale for IS mules and
made him write an order to Baker III
Clinton county, Mo-, who had the mules
in possession for the -, all of which
were taken and for none OF which he
eyer received cent. Plumb and his
allies were tried bv court marshal. lie
got off with being relieved OF his post,
while his dupes got 10 years in the pen

Senator is Plumb, but We suppose that
even with his record he is as good as
the average OF his constituency.

Tho Old State House.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: It is claimed that public sentiment has changed since it was voted to repair the State
 House. In the first place, suppose 1t has.
 There are still forms of law which must be
 kept. The popular vote, once officially de-
 cared, must be treated with the form of off
 cial respect.
 Suppose . man marries, and then his sen-
 timent changes and he wishes he had married
 a different person. He does not forthwith
 go and marry another without regard to his
 first obligation. Even in the most glaring
 case, that of known unfaithfulnees, the worst
 regulated communities require some form of divorce.
 Or suppose the people elect set of officers and then change their miuds and wish they had chosen different set. They do not pro- ceed to hold another election without regard | to the first. Neither does the governing l body, oity, State or national, e1 the case may | be, get together and decide that as there has been a change in public sentiment, they will | quietly hold on to their present positions rs | if no election had been held.
 But there is no tangible evidence that any | such change hes taken place. The public
 sentiment has been perfectly clear from the beginning and can be voiced iu very few | words.
 There are some who are attracted to the State House on account of its classic archi- | lecture and its historic associations, and who
 would gladly see it kept in repair es a matter of sentiment. There are others who regard | 1t at its best es an incumbrance and an eye
 sore, ,and would gladly see 1t swept from the green. But the great mass of the citizens will look upon the matter in 0 plain, practi- cal light. They know that the amount which can be raised for public works in city no larger than New Haven is not unlimited; that
 the various projected improvements, parks and the like, will absorb every dollar that can be spared, and that if the State House can be made serviceable there will be so much more for Improvements where they will do more good. And If the State House | is not serviceable, they want 1t shown in Q business-like manner. They do not want the public funds laughed away by mummi- fed jokes about "so- called classic ruins" and others of the sort. vERITAs.

 It-Kills Passed.
 The board of finance held It's regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The commanders of the Departments of Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, Minnesota and Missouri, representing 145, 900 comrades of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, have adopted resolutions declaring that they met in Chicago to present to the general passenger agents of the Central Traffic asso- citation the claims of the Grand Army "for the same rates to our national encampment as heretofore made to us and as only recently made to other associations and societies. Having received evasive answers to repeated requests for @ one cent rate per mile travelled and feeling that the Grand Army of the Re- public is entitled to at least as much consid- sration on the part of the railroad comps nies as such other societies and organizations, and that we should resent this unjust discrimina- ton against the veterans who saved the life of this nation, we insist that the proper rail- road officials throughout the United States fix and establish on or before the 10th inst.
