denounce the actors as "A set OF thieves,
and refuse to take their protfered hands,
will be applauded by all honest men OF
whatever political faith.
The people of Michigan need not be
told that the purpose of the Democracy
as to the unseating of Senators Horton
and Morse was To pave the way To
most shameful gerrymander of the con-
gressional districts of the state. Ii SO
happens, however, that Senator Marcus
Wilcox, of the Twelfth district, elected
as Patron, and who now holds the
balance of power in the senate as be-
tween the two old parties, is outspoken
and emphatic in his denunciation of
the Democratic methods of last week,
and if he remains loyal to his conscience
there will be an equitable and honora-
BILE and constitutional reapportionment
of the state, and that is all any one has
right to ask or expect.
In review of this act of piracy the
Grand Rapids 7eiegram-Herah says:
when the Republicans went to the
convention, no meeting had been held
by either committee TO formulate re-
port. A short time before, Senator
Mines, member of the committee,
had asked Senator Parks, in behalf of
Senator Horton if the matter could not
be attended to, as Senator Horton was
anxious to have the case disposed of.
Senator Park replied that he was busy
then, but as soon as he could get ready
for committee meeting he would let
him know. This was the condition of
affairs when Senator Park arose in his
place and certified to deliberate false
hood as committee report.
"In the Morse case, the testimony
was not all in and no idea of report
had been preached in committee. But
Senators Croker and Gilbert both
signed and certified To another DELHI
crate falsehood as a committee report.
"The Democratic senators, TO man,
well knowing these reports to be abso-
lutely false, sanctioned them with their
votes and made themselves participants
in the lies. The lieutenant governor,
knowing the reports To be falsehoods,
used the position TO which the people
had elected him to help on the steal.
Under the party lash in the hands of
HOsford, who stood beside him, in a
position from which he would have
been unceremoniously kicked if the
Senate had had any decency left, the
lieutenant governor prostituted his of
fee to the furtherance of falsehood and
theft.
"All rules of decency, honor and
courtesy were outraged. The minority
had no opportunity to be heard in com
mittee or elsewhere. The cases were
taken up in the absence of the Repub-
lican senators. The new members were
taken into the lieutenant governors
room and secretly sworn in - an un-
precedented proceeding. No member
of legislative body was ever before
sworn in elsewhere than upon the floor
of the house IL open session.
The whole transaction from first to
last is an outrage upon decency and the
fair name of Michigan"

The Tercnt death Of Gen. Alfred III. Terry at
the age of e. recalls the fact that hardly any of
tire great Generals o! the war passed the fatal
acc at which Gen. Terry died. The years Of
their lives between .. aud C3 have proved fatal

those readily named who failed tn advance

were Grant. Sheridan Thomas. Logan. Hal

Curtis, Frank Blair aud many Of perhaps Lesser
note
The great responsibility borne by the COM
manding officers iu war, the narrowing anx-
ieties by which they were beset in its great
emergencies, the mental stain under which
great manuvcTs were executed and great
battles fought. Gays OF constant activity aud
nights without sleep were sufficient 10 impair
the strongest constitutions aud to plant the
seeds &C disease which resulted in a cUmpara-
lively early death Many Of the great leaders
named had original power Of endurance and
physical vigDr with an apparent strength OF
vitality which shunld have insured them a
length of days surprising the period allotted by
tile Psalmist 10 the life o. man. The years by
which their lives were lessened in Consequence
Of the hardshiIs of war are part OF the sacri-
fec which they laid on the altar OF patriotism.
These instances, showing the extent To which
war shortened the lives Ui the great leaders,
may lead 10 another eonclusion-cOn 10
the minds made uneasy by the Increase ia the
pension disAur emcnis. 10 tisnot to bcsuppOscd
that the lives OF the private soldiers on the

having higher alliances in mind for his brother,
annulled the marriage, and Jerome later mar
ried Princess Catherine Of Wurtemberg by
