THE New Orleans Picayune thus com
ments on the late rutherford Il. Hayes,
ex-president of the United States: I'VE
must admit that Mr.. Hayes did not de-
serve condemnation from anybody who
had the good of the country at heart.
If any wrongs were committed by the
electoral commission they can not well
be laid to his charge. He was a plain,
honest country lawyer, and more farm
er than lawyer. He was devoted to the
Union, and lie eXcrted himself to secure
the general good. HIS shortcomings.
whatever they were, were errors of
judgment rather than of intention. and
now that he has passed away the Amer
lean people should cherish for him sen.
1iments of kindness and Of real sorrow.

Arother rl.ert of Bomd..


1t has been known IN Little Rock for
some time that another state treasury
sensation was impending, and it was
made public the Other day.
Treasurer Morrow announced that the theft
OF nearly s59u0l OF per cent funding coupons
of tho issue OF 1869 had been discovered, but
the perpetrators had not as yet been ascer-
tanned. G. d. Whittlesey, Of New London,
Conu. forwarded 5000 worth of these coupons
last December to Judge E. w. Kim5all. OF
Little Rock. with instructions to present them
to the state treasurer aud receive bond
scrip in exchange for them. Owing to the IL
ness of Gov. Eagle the old state debt board was
unable to act in the matter and nothing was
done until the board was organized, wnen the
coupons were claimed as the state : property.
The board is OF the opinion that $4,000 Of SINH
lar coupons were stolen and their whereabouts
are unknown. Special Master in Chancery
Simms In his report in the woodruff case on
page 10 makes tno following staten ants re-
gardirE these vonds;

A BILL now pending in the Missouri
house of representatives gives juries
the option of saying whether thc pun
ishment in capital eases shall be death
or Imprisonment for life. 1t is Thought
that this would practically abolish
capital punishment. and there is very
little doubt that it would greatly di-
minish the number of mistrials in CAPT
tai cases, as iurics frequently disagree
rather than hang man whom they
would convict on the same evidence if
the punishment We're Imprisonment for
life.

1t is refreshing to know that, however
sharp political lines may have been
drawn and the machinery of party used
TO defeat that ambition, personally no
American politician was better loved
than he whose body now lies cold in
death.

Twenty fvo years exile and self support in active participation, the affairs of the governments having been constitutional liberty, prepares them for self government. The party will not disturb tho country without view to it's wishes, therefore we organized no expeditions.

DELEGATE MARTI.
Acknowledged Head of the Rebellion, Tells the Purposes Of the Party and
 Causes ofIts Existence.

KEY WEST, May 5.-Delegate Marti, the acknowledged head of tho Cuban revolutionary movement in this country, speaking of the situa- ton in Cuba, said; "This move ment was not instigated by the party men in it, the members of the party acting independently. Whether it is forced by the Spanish surveillance or not is not known, but if Cuba follows the party is ready to indorse the step and give it all the aid pos sible."
 "What are the purposes of the party and causes for its existenceV
 "The Cuban Revolutionary Party exists not in blind wish for inde pendence nor to promote at tbe end of the nineteenth century war or in. vasion in an unwilling country, nor replace the Spanish colony with a merely nominal, self-devour- ing republic. Cuban character is very different from what superficial judges believe. Un avoidable errors in the former un- prepared revolution was the first step which placed slave as a free man beside his master, and in which representative classes failed to in- spire themselves with a decisive spirit at the moment and acted
