Tue portrait ef "old Jaie Thompson" bangs in the Interior Department at Washington. Who put it there? The Democrats r.ya net been in possession of that department since Thompson filled the office. The Sentinel thinks it all rln; for the Government to honor tüe raemtry cf Jacob Thompson. Journal. Ices it? Prcvo it, then. We challenge the quctlEg cf a word from our columns that will warrant the assertion. It may cot te t. very loag time before certain very nice gentlemen awake to the idea that to remove a Republican office holder, woo has wallowed in the miro of partisan politics for j ears, is not against the civil service ia or an Injury to reform in god governmjnt. Thep.e seems to be a disposition among merchants and business men in this city to meet half way the returning tide of, prosperity. Slight symptoms of its approach can be observed in msrcantilecircles. Certain it is that confidence is being re3tored, and that condition is always the firat indication of favGrable reaction in trade laws. The Dallas Herald well remarks that the Presidents ot the Unitad States, for the past twenty-five years, have baen enthroned leaders of the P.epublican party. The present administration proposes to administer for the Nation, but it will be necessary, perhaps, to chocEO good asent3, ani not assessed partisans to carry out its ideas. Theke were nine ministers called upon the President last Friday, and nearly as many on Tbtusiay. He i3 growing popular with this class of his fellow-countrymen. Perhaps Brother Burchard and some of the Indianapolis brethren might take a run to the National Capital and shake hands with him. He ia quite forgiving in his nature. The Chicago Carrent, a non-partisan paper, takes a cheerful view ot things. It cays: "People have gone to work. They have stepped brooding. They see th9 rorld as it is once more. Now the fashion is to say the times are better. It is not only the fashion. It is true." Of course it is; we live urder a Democratic administration. It has been stated that Mr. Beecher influenced the appointment of Mr. Phelps to the British Court. It is denied, however, on good authority, that he had anything to do with It, He did not recommend Mr. Phelps, nor did he even n.ention the name of that gentleman during his long conversation with the Executive. Mr. Beecher went to Washington to lecture, and left when he had done this. TRKBiare some aecent people in the city who believe that the black-and-tan gang that meet semi-occasional'y in the Courthome are genuine "veteran" soldiers. We want to say to this class that they are mistaken. They are simply a ring nosing around for place cn the Republican ticket at the first elections that take place. We have the proper feeling for a genuine soldier of the Grand Army, but net much for this political combination referred to. Ehcvid the Russian Bear and the British Lien finally conclude to fight, it would make matters lively in this country. The Araercan farmer woald get big prices for his products, while our manufacture!, who are already more or less anticipated orders for ceitain waillke supplies, would enjoy a boom of prosperity not unlike that which followed in the wake cf the war of the rebellion. Americans wish neither ef these territorial absorbing nations harm, but if their greed leads to war it would indeed be avn "ill wind that blew nobody any good." Th8 misfortunes of nations as well as iadi-

ideals work proa"! aa l prosperity to the r eclral nation that cm famish thecombat ant 9 with breadstuda and war ruaterisl.

Thk number of applicants tor tliee nas I ten greatly exasgerated. One of the employes of tha White House says that there is not one fourth the number of office-seek-us annoying Mr. Cleveland that nearly wor ried the life out of General Garfield. There ' are over ."0,(X9 pestotnees in the country, yet it is estimated at the Postoffice Department that applications for les than 1,000 oQices have thus far been received since the advent of the new administration. It is said that in the case of tome of the State3 not a single application for postollice ha3 baen received. MISREPRESENTATION. Perhaps it Is hardly ris?ht to find fault with the e Democrats tecaute they select for honor the ugliest ot the old-fashioned Copperheads and tha rcrst conspicuous of the Eecessi3it?, au 1 ray tributes of atttctioi) even to a notorious tntef If ho wis a rebel. Tnat sortof thin was to bsexpected. Nobody haa cvtr supposed that the Democratic party was comrosod ot loial men In spirit aui in 5npsthy, and nobody has supposed thit its lare ! raajojity. having bcn disloyal lu spirit and sym- ! patny for many year.-, and having acquired the j noun ui nana ut- uuveramtni ior pu opres: un rebellion and lotinc the men who tried to ira,vut ttat result, could ct rid of their sympathies and tafcits as soon as the power had been iraasferrcl to their hands.

Of couise a ure-t dtalticre promised during political ca-ri-pakrs by Democratic advocates, aad we ner ? tiod tfcat the party was and would be every bltas loyal lu Its ympathifs as any other. Hut it wa tio-i-ter,e to cxpfCt thl", and nobody outfit to be lhtatudled or disappointed because when a new Itst of cnicialä appears, wtether tbey are new I).-t-matters or tew Jlln'.tters 'o foreign countries, It turns out that most of them were either rebels in nrms durinz tbe war, or early and active seres-ion-ists, or particularly ortcniva Northern CcpporI cads. That was what wc bargained for. N'3f York Tribune. The "nobodies" mentioned nbov, who Lave never "supposed that tfie Democratic party was compcaed of loyal men In spirit and in sympathy,"' are all Republicans of tbe narrow-minded, small hearted Tribune type, who believe in Haunting the blooly shirt first, last and all tbe time, regardless of the facts that the war ended twenty yeirs etc, and that slavery, the capss of secession, is abolished. These who do realize this and tl at the South is a largo fraction of our Vnion to-day, are tee great majority of our :.C,000,000 of people, wto Lave br the balle ta placed at tho head of this Government a t cod Democratic President. The country indeed "knew wLat to expe?i vhen it intrusted the control of the Government to a party largely competed" of citiz ns whose loyalty is urdoutcd, and wh tie entitled by every right granted in our Constitution to take part in the making and ejecnting of laws which are for the weal of. tie Nation. We are glad that the Tribune at length acI nowiedges inadvertently perhaps that Temccrata did take a hand in "supporting ifce Union cause." It is seldom we are tr-ated with to mach truth in its columns a3 is this admi&sian. That the administration does not "entirely ostracise" euch Democrats, however, is made apparent every day when tho appointments are anounced from Washington ; and before President Cleveland is thronJwith selectir:' men fcr public efficea the Tribune will be satisfied that a goodly number of the "ostracised" wing of the party are in places where they can do the most good by holding positions for twenty-four years occupied y republicans. All that was "promised during political campaigns by Democratic advocates' in ti.a way of reform will be falliiled to the letter. The P.epublican organs have already had evidence of this, and the healthful change is what hurts them. They see the handwriting upon the wall, and its translation is: "The Democratic administration has come to etay." FAMINE AND DEATH. Advices from the starving people of West Virginia are not exaggeratad. Matten do not improve, but seem to grow steadily worse. Indeed, we are assured by reliable correspondents that the tales of suffering, disease and death have not bsen exaggerated, but, on the contrary, that the terrible rcenes have not been drawn strong enough. The famine is heaviest in those counties where little or no rain fell during the entire summer, and the crops, never very good in the very best years, were total failures last vrar. After this weary summer and fall there came on an unparalleled winter of the utmost rigor and severity. The result is famine and death for man and beast. In Wirt County there are from 1,-00 to l,o00 people in actual want, and they have lost in the death of their live stock from $5,0C0 to ?b',000. Roane and Jackson Counties seem to be affected in spots that is, the suffering is not so general as in other counties. A correspondent of the GlobeDemocrat thinks that Nicholas County has suifered more than aoy of the others. There are at least 2,500 people in want of food, to a greater or less extent Sickness prevails to an alarming degree, and medical attendance is almost impossible to get The country is so wild, the reads so bad and the physiciacs so few that, doing their best, as all have done, itlsimpoisible for half the people to be vlsl-ed. Ocese of actual starvation is reported. Beans ana parched corn, in no; a few instances, Is all the food on which whole familifsexut. The water ii strongly impregnated with mineral matter, aad sickness invariably follows its use. Animals are sniously affected. The loss on atcck in this county Is not lets than $12 000 to $15.000, and will te mnch more before spring opens. The people of Buxton County are reported as suffering much, but are able to take care cf their sick, but their losses on live atock will foot up $ir.000. A portion of Gilmer County ia affected. Some ;00 people are short of f sod and 200 in danger of etarva-

tion. The loes on livestock i. reported at f ICOO. There are slight losses ia atock and isolated cases of snaring in Upshur, Randolph and Tucker Cjtlnties. This dispatch to the St. Louis Globe Democrat does not give mote than an outline cf the situation. The casts of individual suffering are numer. ocs and often heartrending. Many acts of noble devotion and seif-eacrifice were noticed, and the impres:oa received of the f ecpie was most favorable. They are honest, industrious and intelligent The little they had they freely divided with their less fortonate neighbor. Can not something bs dena for these unfortunate people?

HASTEN SLOWLY. Not every one who calleth himself a Democrat Is fit to be entrusted with an cfU:e. Indeed, it is apparent that s'jrue of those who are the hottest far plica are precisely the ocei -abo ouzht not to reach it. They are, however, such a persistant, cheeky set that many of thoni would inevitably secure some of the best pliers did not the administration insist on going slir in giving out the oihees. Sensible people will be glal that the administration is wise oaoagh to know that it is one of those cases where haste makes waste."

IIASGED BY A 3I0D.

An IaterfsHnj Reminiscence of Johnson County Justice Suprgeeted by tho Recent Outrage at Greenwood Tba Harder of David Lyon9 and Subsequent Handln; oJ Hla Murderers. In givine the story of the fiendish outrage Perpetrated upc:i the rerson of Mrs. Mary E. Smith at Grtcuwcod last week, reference was made to tho fact that she is a daughter of David Lyons, who was murdered near Greeuwood in 1SG7, acd the murderers afterwards taken from the jail at Franklin and hanged by a mob. The story of Lyons' death and tbe attendant circumstances, the pursuitand capture of two men, and their subsequent hanirg by indignant citizens cf Johnson County, is fraught wilh interest, aad for ttat reason is reproduced ta this connection. In the winter of 1 s-7, a man giving his name es Hatcheil, and accompanied by his wife, fame to live in the neighborhood of Gmnwood. and rented a log ci'jia just north of thut place, situated on the farm of C. II Ccok. oon alter, Hatcheil aad his smi6 ere joined by two other men, John Pttti-cn a?:u a man by the name of iSiui. Th men were day labirtrs and worked for d:i!Vit-Lt ff rsjiis in the neighborhood, but pretty .oon fell under suspicion, as ttmre wf re numerous robheries coin jiitted in tbs Vicinity. ni:d tlie trio ha 1 been bat a short ti;np in th cabin when they came to b regarctd as htrd characters generally by their more honest and virtuous neighbors. Bari::? the spnng and summer following, the'e small robberies and petty thefts csntinued with more or Jfss fretuf ncy, and it was no U!i(0"ui oii tiling for a farmer to be relijvd cf hist cash, received for his produce in this city. when returning to hia home in the conotry after nightfall. Though suspicion fell upon the lor. cabin habitues, there was r.o positive proof of thftir cuilt. atd the peop'e continued to baar the cress in the hopo that the infamy would Econer or later bring itg own reward and the gang be exposed and broken up. Northeast ci Greenwood there livd a family of Johnsens, of whom Bab, Dava and E'.i were strongly sucr;eetd of being conff derates of the trio that made a dark night a thing to ! dreaded by trie belated husbandman, as well as the wife who kept vigils at homa awaiting bis return. Acuther thing which prevented any action upon the pari o' the people was the ftar, common to c immunities in which a gang ot de;jieradce are located, that the itcendiary torch might bo made the instrument of reveLge in the event that a prosecution against the men should happea to miscarry a fear, by the way, that frequently gives immunity to bad men. Embjldened by their euccess and nprrrr.t immunity froru arrest, they bee u? bolder in their Operation, and carried their enterurite fro n the burglary of a smoke-hcu-e and the robb?ry of a b-1 ate i aid unprotected farmer to a still higher grade of lawlebsneis. tha. of forcibly entering and robb'ntr tne farm-houses in their vicinity. Jt was en event of this kind that resultei iu the murder of a highly respected citizen of l"-aint TotsTsiiip. Jjhnson Coanty, followed by an act of luob violence uuorec -elerted in the county, but elYectunlly breatirg up the trans and giving peace and security to a community which had already saff.'?d boyond the ordinary length ot human endurance. About 11 o'clock on tha niht of the 10!h cf Aoust, lsi7, a clear moonlignt night, David fijoh3 and hi wife, living northeast of Greenwood, were awakened by a noiäa at the window, and, upon demanding the cause, a man upon tha outside asked fir ectxething to eat Mr3. Lyons got up and handed a leaf cf bread to the man through a broken pane ot glas?, but faw hini throw it upon tbe ground. He then demanded the luocej', $r0, which Lyona had that day received as the purchase price of a cow, and threatened instant death if they refused. By this time Mr. Lyors had secured his cun, and at tbe fame moment the door was borst open by a large rail carried by two men. beeing Mr. Lyons with a gun in his hand the men let the rail fall from their hands and ran, and Lyons, hardly conscious cf what he waa doinr, ran out at the door, tbe guu being discharged as he pasced out Pattersou was standing in front of the door, and when ho fa w Lyons coming with a gun iu his hand he etartei to ran from the yard, but found himself hemmend in by a high picket fence and no way of escape except 10 turn and pass his apparent pursuer. TakiDg in the situation, and not rral'zing that Lyons was utterly helpless from fer.r and excitement Patterson drew his pifetol and fired two shots, the first btll burying Itself in the pump and the second penetrating the body of Lyons. The latter, with his wife, ran to tbs house of a neighbor, Eamuel Gregg, where Lyons fell upon the porch from exhaustion, the first knowledge he had that he had been hurt. Here he was put to bed, a physician called and his wcund dressed. After the mot intense suffering he died the following afternoon in great agony. In the meant'me the news spread from house to house, and the most intense excitement prevailed throughout the northern part of the county. When the citizens gathered at the scene of the shooting and msda search of tbe premises, a white hat, apparently knecied from the wearer's head by one of the boughs, was found under an apple tree in the yard. Tai3 was recogolzed as the property of Eli Johnson, who early next morning appeared at a store iu Green wo d, porcbaüed a mate to it and immediately left town. That afternoon he was captured near Gresnsburg. and the fat telegaphed to Greenwood. Hatcheil was in in the village at the time and when told of the capture of Eli Johnson he turned pale, trembled, and soon after left tte store. A party immediately went to his cabin, but found it deserted. A dispatch from Southport announced that Hatcheil and his wife had purchased tickets tor Louisville, and would board the first train for that city. When the train reached Greenwood, several hundred people were ODgregited about tbe depot, and it was with great difficulty that the cooler heads saved him from mob vio'ence.
