In view of the fact that Gon. R. 8. Ripley has recently returned to tho Stute of Massachusetts the regimen tal color of the Fifty-fourth Massa chusetts volunteers, taken in July, 18(53, by the garrison of Battery Wag ner, which troops were a part of Gen. Ripley’s command, the query pre sents itself. What did our loyal Gov ernor, Joseph E. Brown, do with ull tho standards captured by our gallant soldiers and forwarded to him for safe keeping ? Watchman, what of ! the hour? GENERAL RIPLEY'S LETTER. Stanhope Terrace, Glosteh Road, j South Kensington, 1 London, January 12,1873, ) i i To His KrceUency the Governor of I Massachusetts: X have the honor to forward to your Excellency the regimental color of i the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts vol-| unleers, which was taken in aetion on tho evening of the 18th of July, 1803, by the garrison of Battery Wag ner, under General Taliaferro, being part of the force defending Charles ton, 8. C., under my command, when that work was assaulted by the Fed eral troops under General Gilmore. Since the close of the civil war in America I have been generally ab sent from tho country, and 1 have seen with regret the failures of expe dients attempted to restore peace and content to the Southern States. It seems to me, however, that tho lapse of time and the course of events have produced a less embittered state of public feeling tluin that which exist ed just after tho close of the strife. Under the existing state of things X deem it decorous, if not a positive duty, to promote the oblivion of the animosities which led to and were engendered by the war. Much being the ease, X prefer to look upon tro phies of the character of the one in question as mementoes of the gallant conduct of men who, like Shaw, l’ut muu and other sons of Massachu setts, sealed their devotion to the cause which they adopted with their lives rather than as evidences of prowess on the one side or the other. The custodians of sueli a memento should be the authorities of the State served by these gallant men, and I therefore transmit the Hag to your Excellency for such disposition as the authorities of Massachusetts shall determine. lie.speei'ully, your obedient servant, It. 8. Ripley, governor gaston’s reply. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, j Executive Department, Boston, March 3t, 1873. I General It. N. Ripley: Dear Sir X have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt from you of the regimental color of the Fifty fourth regiment of Massachusetts volunteers, and also of your letter bearing date January 12. 1873, which accompanied the same. In compli ance with the request of tho Legisla ture, a copy of which 1 inclose here with, the flag has been placed with the battle-flags of Massachusetts in , Doric Hall, in our State-House. Please accept my thanks for your courtesy in returning the flag, and for the great tribute which you have rendered to the brave men who served their country with so much credit to themselves and so much honor to the j State. Highly appreciating the son- 1 ti meats which you express in your: letter, and the motive which prompt- ! ed your aetion, I have the honor to i tie your obedient servant, [William Gaston. • ♦ - lawlessness in the I'iml ltexlon*. Pennsylvania is about the worst gov- j erued State in the Union. Every year her great coal-mining districts are scenes of lawlessness and riot. Robbery, arson and murder rage tiiere unchecked during any number of months in the year when the in evitable annual strike is in progress. At those times bands of drunken miners roam about the coal country robbing and burning houses and kill ing theirinmates, and treating honest men away from work. With these creatures, murder is at once a pass time and a solemn duty enjoined; upon them bv the oaths of the society of “Molly Maguires." They shoot non-union men with as little coin- i punction as they would kill a rabbit, and with as little fear of punishment, j For about two mouths past we have; iiad reports of mining disturbances in ! Pennsylvania, which are now eitlmi- j nating iu the usual incidents of blood ; and tire. Xt is not. worth while to ex plain the origin of the present diffi culties. If the miners' union cannot And one thing to quarrel aliout.it , will take another; but on no account will it miss the luxury of a great strike and a two-months’ spree every year. That, tho question at issue is not one of wages, appears from the fact that tho rioters drive away men from mines which are paying the full union prices. These men are compelled to join the mob and go the round of rioting and j destruction. Against such a power ful, well-armed body, an ordinary I police force or sheriff's posse is usw -1 less; but these are the only means of! repression that have been employed ! so far. The rioters simply knock over the men sent against them, take j away their revolvers and clubs, and march on triumphant. In one or two former years, after the strikers had I quite slaked their thirst for blood, the Governor ordered a few compa nies of militia to the*plaee of distur bance, and that measure brought peace. The rioters are afraid of the soldiers, and of nobody else. It seems to us that it would be an act of greater wisdom to order out the troops earlier in the history of the riot, and so prevent much of the bloodshed, rapine and arson which are now regularly permitted to take place before the military are allowed to interfere. A little decision of char acter upon the part of the Governor of Pennsylvania at this time would put an end to these outrages and make the name of that State some what less the synonym of lawless ness.—A r . F. Journal of Commerce. Retail cigar dealers are to be afflict ed with a patent cigar box, which the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has invented. The box has perfora ted coupons on the inside edge, cor responding with the number of cigars in the box. The coupons are fur nished by the Government in place of stamps, and when a cigar is sold a coupon has to be destroyed before the purchaser. The design is to make j tlie smokers detectives, but, like] everything else of this kind, the smo- ; kers won’t watch, and the patent box j will incite a good deal or profanity] among the retail cigar dealers, who i do not like to be continually suspect-! ed of cheating the Government. There are fears expressed that the great Salt take of Utah will soon ] grow too large for its confines. Since j 18G1 there has been a steady rise, and it is eating under the land on botli sides at a tremendous rate. ; Whether it is indignant at the intrusion of the Mormons or is tired of lying so long on the same bed, is not stated.
