There was excitement in Burlington last
Sunday because comic opera company,
which played at the Howard opera house
during the week, announced Saturday even
ing that the troupe would give sacred
concert on Sunday evening The religious
people objected to this innovation, and in
five Of the churches the congregations re-
manned after the morning service and ap
pointed committees to wait upon the opera
house lessees and try to persuade them to
cancel the rental of the house for the Sun
day evening performance. A committee
of forty leading citizens thus appointed
performed the duty assigned them, and the
result was an agreement by the lessees that
the Sunday evening engagement should be
cancelled and the opera-house should not be
opened. The Free Press says that the re
suit of the interview was announced in the
several churches in the evening, and IVA,
received with general satisfaction on tn,
part Of the larger and better portion of the

the North American Review that ON the
fatal 18th of April Booth called at the the
atre as usual for his letters He received
and read them in front of the building. He
was pleasantly tainted by some of his I'm
ion friends there with the information that
the President and Gen Grant would both
be at the theatre that evening, and one
added Gen. Lee will be with them.
Booth quickly responded "They won't pa
rade Lee as the Romans did their captives
hope The remark about Lees coming
was withdrawn, but the effect of the iufor
nation as to President Lincoln and Gen
Grant was apparent. Booth grew abstract
ed and thoughtful, and soon departed. with
the first possible information he could have
had Of the President intention 10 visit the
theatre that night. At 1920 he assassin
ated President Lincoln.

The Policy Of the POsI-Omce Depart
menI,

Gen. Clarkson, the First Assistant Post
master General, said last week, in answer
to criticisms of his policy in the appoint
ment of fourth class postmasters, that prac-
tically all of the changes thus far have
been made for other than political reasons.
A large number of the appointments made
during the last administration were notori-
ously bad considerable number had been
found to be delinquent in their accounts,
other changes had been made in order to
secure better locations for the offices and
IN many cases appointments had been made
with view to the removal of the Offices
from the vicinity of saloons. In every
case of removal there had been good and
sufficient cause therefor Perhaps" he
added, 1T is not generally known that my
predecessor, within the six weeks prior 10
the 4th of March, made over a thousand
appointments of fourth class postmasters
for the purpose, apparently, of forcing
them upon this administration. This course
had never been pursued TO my knowledge
by any previous administration. During
the last several weeks of President Ar

We trust no reader of The Phoenix will
for a moment suppose that the Democrats
expected their article in last weeks Re
former to be accepted by any intelligent
person as an answer to our exposure of the
Grindstone fraud. The trouble with the
Democrats is that this exposure has dealt
their party a deadly blow, and discredited
in advance any campaign work which they
may attempt in the future They are "un-
der the heap, and the leaders know it
Their only hope of salvation lay in making
a show of disputing the sweeping indict-
ment which the plain cold facts brought
against them, and so this article was con
cocted. They knew that no person of aver
age intelligence would accept it as having
any bearing on the main question at issue,
except to show how deeply the conspirators
are in the mire but to the rank and file of
their party they can say, ooh, that Grind
stone business has all been answered, and
the credulous ones, who do not read or
think for themselves, will accept the state
ment. This, in short, is why this alleged
defence" was undertaken.
