Beast Butler at Bunker Hill.
The Boston correspondent of the
Chicago Advance says that Gen. Butler
and King Gambrinus were the two most
notable personages in the Buuker Hill
procession. It thus describes them.
The Philadelphia Times says that
Joaquin Miller supposes that all the cen
tennial preparations are to celebrate his
return to America. If you could have
seen Gen. Butler caracoling and curveting
that day, at the head of the military
escort, his hat off* bowing incessantly to
every quarter of the compass, like a
figure in a barrel-organ, you would have
fiancied that this mighty Ben looked upon
all the flags, and the decorations, and the
soldiers, aud the distinguished guests, in
cluding Gen. Sherman and the Vice-
President, aud the peanut-stands, and the
balloons, and the crowds, as but a
theatrical background for his favorite
performance of Bombastes Purioso.
The procession of “Trades” was four
miles in length. No feature in this was
more noticeable than the heavy wagons
laden with hops and malt, and kegs and
barrels of the great brewing firms. In
the centre of these, throned high upon a
huge cask, sat King Gambrinus, in gorge
ous robes, grasping his foaming tankard,
with tinseled minions perched beneath
his seat.
It must have been a glorious day for
the Massachusetts here, patriot and in
corruptible statesman, when, mounted ou
his war horse, he spread himself to the
public gaze as the figure-head of the
grand pageant. Next to “plying his voca
tion” in New Orleans, nothing could have
so gratified the champion spoon thief as
being permitted to ride at the head of the
column in which marched the vanquished
chivalry of South Carolina, Virginia and
Maryland. It was a proud achievement
for the Beast, with a craven heart and a
cock-eye, and if he should never ha^o an
opportunity to rob another Southern
pantry or insult another Southern lady,
he will still have something to brag of
and for his vanity to feed on for the
balance of his miserable life.
An extraordinary opinion has been
given by the Auditor of State aud the
Attorney-General of Ohio to the effect,
as stated by the Cincinnati Commercial,
that the reinsurance liability of an insur
ance company is not a bona Jide debt.
The companies interested—to the extent
of about $90,000, which they must pay
in taxes if the opinion be sustained—are
contesting it, and the decision of the
Board of Equalization at Cincinnati was
expected yesterday. It is difficult to
guess, says the World, on what this opin-*
ion can be based if the Commercial re
ports it accurately. If a liability for
which the laws compel companies to
make provision by their assets, and for
failure to make which provision declares
them insolvent and summarily prohibts
them from continuing in business, be not
a if, bona fide debt,” what is or can be such
a debt ? The final decision of this ques
tion will be awaited with more than or
dinary anxiety.
Not So.—By far the most important
of the issues now before the people of
the United States is that which relates to
the currency.—Portland Press.
This is not so. The currency is an im
portant thing no doubt, but it is of
trifling consequence compared with the
question whether the affairs of the coun
try shall be administered by thieves or by
honest men.
If plundering and swindling are to be
the rule in public life, it makes very little
difference whether the currency is paper
or coin. Let us first drive the robbers
out of the temple of our republican free
dom, and then we shall be prepared to
consider what sort of money is most con
venient and beneficial.
By far the most important of the issues
now before the people of the United
States is that which relates to honesty
and economy in public affairs.—N. Y.

Home Application of the Declaration
of Independence.
I The New* York Bulletin takes a sensible
view of the subject when it says the Dec
laration of Independence “is in some
j sense a bill of complaint.” Says the Bul
letin :
“It but rarely occurs to the average
reader that this bill of complaint has a
; home as well as a foreign application,
| and one that is just as forcible to-day as
it was a century since—albeit this view
| of the case does not touch the popular
i perceptions as acutely as it should,
i Possibly it may grate upon the feel-
j ings of the advocates of restrictive legis
lation to be reminded occasionally—but
it is, nevertheless, true—that one of the
causes for which the colonists took up
arms against George III was the ‘cutting
off our (their) trade with all parts of the
world.’ The right of free trade was
denied them. Only a permissive com
merce was conceded to them, and even
that was coupled with such conditions as
to make it scarcely worth the having.
“We would not,” continues the editor,
“for the world intimate ever so remotely
that the advocates of modern prohibitory
tariffs, or tariffs that are practically pro
hibitory, are lacking in patriotism and
opposed to the spirit of ’76 ; but at the
same time they must try and bear with
the suggestioj that Lord North never
did anything in the way of ‘cutting off
our trade with other parts of the world’
half so effective as the ingenious con
trivance which, now-a-days passes itself
off for ‘protection to home industry.’
It always was a mystery to us how Judge
Kelly or Henry C. Carey, for instance,
could read the Declaration w ithout feeling
uncomfortable.
“The reflection comes home also to the
publicist and the statesman, as well as to
the wrong-headed political economist.
‘Multitudes of new offices,’ and ‘swarms
of officers’ to ‘eat up the substance of the
people,’ are among the enumerated
grievances of that bill of complaint. In
other words, ‘too much government.’ It
is not proposed to discuss whether, in
this respect, we are any better off under
ourselves, so to speak, than we were
under the paternal supervision of Her
Britannic Majesty—but only to improve
a passing opportunity to reinvite atten
tion to certain old landmarks and old
moorings, from which in this fast age—
fast in legislation as in most other things
—we are insensibly drifting.”
The system of carpet-bag government
complained of by the patriots of ’76 was
bad enough, but nothing to compare to
that which has been inflicted on the peo
ple of the South since the war. For
though the colonists may have justly
complained of the “swarms of officers,”
who “eat up the substance of the people,”
history does not show that they had any
just cause to complain of the dishonesty
of the agents of the mother country.
The British Government nor any other
civilized government would have tolerated
such a horde of thieves and robbers as
have been forced upon the South by
Federal authority and sustained and pro
tected by Federal bayonets, while they
systematically robbed and plundered her
people. If our forefathers were justified
in complaining of British carpet-baggers
on the 4th of July, 1776, surely there is
nothing in the contrast between them
and the Yankee carpet-baggers, thieves
and robbers, with whom we are
afflicted to-day, to assure us that in this
respect we are “any better off under our-
seives than we were under the paternal
-supervision of His Britannic Majesty,” or
to inspire in us emotions of patriotic gush
on the return of the anniversary of our
deliverance from British rule.
In some other respects, it seems to us,
the Declaration of Independence has a
home application, and a home signifi
cance that almost makes it a treasonable
document, unfit to be read on the 4th of
July, now, since this glorious Union has
been “reconstructed” on principles so
different from those upon which it was
formed.
The Florida Fruit Venders in Chi
cago.—A meeting of merchants was held
on Tuesday at the Chicago Produce Ex
change to consult with a delegation of
fruit growers from Florida in regard to
establishing a regular trade between
Chicago aud that State. The President
read jn address from the members of the
Produce Exchange welcoming the gentle
men from Florida. After several speeches
a committee of ten was appointed to
join the delegation from Florida on a
visit to freight agents and express com
panies, Wednesday, to make arrange
ments for the consummation of the pro
posed union.
New Orleans has thrown up the sponge
and formally announced itself bankrupt.
The City Council has passed a resolution
(according to the statement of the New
York World) proclaiming its inability to
pay interest on the public debt, and
asking the forbearance of the city credi
tors. So much for Republican misrule
and corruption. When the Radicals took
charge a few years ago, the city debt was
nothing; now it amounts to the snug sum
of twenty millions of dollars, or nearly
thi'ee times the entire debt of the whole
State of Georgia.
Two negroes were licensed to practice
law by the Supreme Court of North Caro
lina last week. The Raleigh News asserts
that uot a singie question was answered
correetly by these gentlemen of color,
yet licenses were granted and they are
sent forth lawyers.
Well, if an amendment to the Consti
tution, unconstitutionally adopted, can
make a negro a citizen and a voter, why
can not the certificate of a Radical judge
make him a lawyer ? If the “gentlemen
of color” don't happen to know much
about Blackstone, they are black enough
themselves to make up for the deficiency.
Xhe London Times hits the nail neatly
on the head in the following paragraph ;
“There would be very small satisfaction,
except to place-hunters, in the retirement
of General Grant if his successor at the
White House is to administer the func^
tions of Chief Magistrate in the same
spirit. Change of persons is nothing; it
is a purification of administrative prin
ciples that is wanted; and, unless this is
kept sight of from the beginning, it wi.4
not be attained.”

Iowa, an agricultural State aud peace
ful, has two or three lynchings every
mouth, some of which are so sensational
as almost to challenge credibility. It is not
so long since, in the State capital, How
ard was taken from jail and hanged to a
lamp post at the Court House gate ; but
in that case the lynching was perpetrated
at midnight and the Vigilantes masked.
But in the case of Smith, who was
lynched at Ottumwa on Wednesday last,
there was no attempt at disguise or con
cealment. As the murderer, a notorious
desperado, was being conducted from the
Court House to the jail after his exami
nation, the mob—by no moans a mob in
the common acceptation of the term,
since it contained a large portion of the
most respectable residents of the city—
took him from his guards, hanged him to
a lamp-post at the door of the City Hall,
and left the corpse swinging there for
twenty minutes, its distorted face in
open view. And this between 1 and 2 of
a June afternoon in a quiet city of 10,000
souls!
A case of insanity lately developed
itself in a very singular manner in the
city of Richmond. A young lady promi
nent in society announced her engage
ment to a certain gentleman, and fre
quently talked of the matter to her
friends. The day for the wedding was
ultimately appointed and numbers in
vited to witness the ceremony. All prep
arations were made at the house of the
lady, the guests assembled, and all was in
readiness for the nuptials, but no bride
groom came. He was waited patiently
until it became evident that he would not
appear, when the guests departed filled
with indignation at the singular occur
rence. On the next morning the young
lady was a raving maniac. Eventually
the truth of the matter came out. The
gentleman implicitly denied any engage
ment to the lady and all knowledge of
the proposed wedding. The whole affair
had been but the result of an insane delu
sion l
North and South.
The New York Herald closes a long
4th of July editorial with the following
sensible remarks: “It has of late been
customary,” says the Herald, “to express
a wish that the centennial, with its pre
liminaries, may restore the old fraternal
sentiments between the South and the
North. Such sentiments are wise aud
timely, and they are certain to gain
strength with the nearer approach of the
centennial festivities. But we appxehend
that the repeaters of this wish or this
advice see as yet only a part of the
strength of their case. It is not merely
that Massachusetts and South Carolina
stood side by side in ’7G, powerful as this
appeal to early recollections is and ought
to be. The strong point is—and before
tKe* close of the centennial year the
North will acknowledge it—that our
Southern brethren have a livelier
appreciation of the patriots of the
Revolution than is possible to us.
What we inherit as a tradition they have
experienced as a reality. They have
been themselves in the position of rebels.
They, too, have fought for independence,
while so fighting, they nourished their
hearts and strengthened their fortitude
by constant meditation on the deeds and
the heroes of the Revolution. The posi
tion into which we of the North were
forced for the maintenance of the Union
tended to put us out of sympathy with
revolutionary spirit We learned, for the
first time, how governments feel that are
rebelled against, and lost our former ad
miration of rebels. Up to the outbreak
of our civil war there was uot a rebellion
in Ireland, or in South America, or in
Greece, or in Hungary, or in any part of
the world, in which the warmest sympa
thies of this country were not freely
given to the rebels against their govern
ment. The South continues to retain
this feeling, and as danger to the Union
is forever past there is no reason why we
should not relight the partially ex
tinguished torch at the Southern altar,
where the fire has been kept steadily
burning. Our Southern brethren will
ultimately acknowledge that we did them
an invaluable service in frustrating their
attempt and making its repetition hope
less ; and, on the other hand, we shall yet
acknowledge that they acted from the
noblest sentiments directed to a mis
taken object. We have something to
gain from them in capacity to enter into
the spirit which achieved our inde
pendence.
The French and German governments
are so apprehensive that the potato bug
will take dead-head passage ou vessels
from this country, that the United States
Commissioner of Agriculture has pro
vided an engraving of the little pest,
which he recommends Captains to have
posted on shipboard, so that every one
may become familiar with its appearance
and immediately destroy it should it by
any chance find its way on board. This
i* the principle on which ttye photographs
of thieves are taken by police authori
ties, and we only hope the Commissioners
plan may prove as successful.
In New York, the shrinkage in values
appears to have been quite as great as
elsewhere, Recording to the report of
the Tax Commissioner of that city, the
panic which broke upon • the country ig
the fall of 1873, and which it was hoped
would cease to operate, like that of 1857,
in a few weeks or igonths, has not yet
been followed by any substantial or
marked reaction. The total assessments
for 1875 are $1,100,943,099, while those
for 1874 were $1,154,029,17G. In per
sonal property, the latest returns show a
marked decrease, the aggregate for the
year 1875 being $217,300,154, or $55,-
181,027 less than for the previous year.
Republican Disoboanizers in New
York City.—The Republicans of New
York are by no means harmonious.
There is a rebellion against Custom
House rule. A meeting of the “Re
formed Republican organization” was
held Thursday evening. S. N. Le Comte
presided, and H. C. Atwater acted as
secretary. The attendance was much
larger than was expected. All but three
of the Assembly Districts were repre
sented by delegates. Mr. Le Comte said
that the organization did not claim to
represent a reformed party, but it was
the old and only true Republican organi
zation which had ever existed in New
York city. In 18GG, Thomas Murphy,
with his adherents, claiming to be admin
istration Republicans, had withdrawn
from the party, and had all voted for
John T. Hoffman. After this a Grant
campaign club was organized, and Mr.
Murphy was subsequently recognized by
President Grant, upon his election, as
the leader of the Republican party in the
city. Mr. Le Comte states that all the
books, papers and documents of the old
Republican Association are now in, and
have never been out of the possession of
the organization which he now repre
sents. He intimates that the objects of
the organization are antagonistic to the
present Custom House and Post Office
cliques, which, he says, endeavor to
secure all government patronage, and to
control every political movement of the
Republican party for their own personal
aggrandizement.
Prematnre Opening of the Philadel
phia Cenjeunial Show.
The loyal brotheriy lover3 of Phila- i
delphia, in their eagerness to realize on
their great centennial show, to garner |
the rich harvest which they confidently
expect to reap from the patriotic en
thusiasm of the people of the recon
structed Union, have been guilty of a
little anachronism which, to say the least,
is in bad taste if not in bad faith, and
which is being made the subject of in
dignant criticism by the press. It seems
that the Centennial Board of Finance on
Monday last opened the centennial
grounds and such of the buildings as
have been completed to the citizens of
Philadelphia, who inaugurated therein a
formal celebration of the ninety-ninth
national anniversary, thus, in a measure,
anticipating the great event of next
year. To this the Baltimore Gazette takes
serious exception. The editor says the
programmes sent out, and the telegraphic
reports of the Associated Press, both
give the affair the dignity of a national
celebration—a sort of ante-centeunisd
cast. Whether it was simply a little ruse
of Philadelphia landlords to attract
visitors, or whether the centennial of
ficers have been improperly assisting a
local celebration by lending it their of
ficial aid and sanction is a point upon
which there is a difference of opinion;
but either reason, if accepted, certainly
reflects discredit on the International
Exhibition of 1876, for which people of
the United States have voted their money
and upon which they have staked our
national reputation.
The Gazette objects to the Philadel
phians using the material which the
people of the United States, by the
formal authority of their Representatives
in Congress, had set apart aud consecra
ted to a particular purpose, aud that pur
pose the celebration by the nation of its
one hundreth birthday, and asks :
Are we all of us contributing our little
centennial mites a year or two in advance
to put into buildings and other arrange
ments to enable the young Penns to have
a swell Fourth of July? It is bad enough
to let the Quaker City monopolize Inde

the scoffer is permitted to enter the
sacred chamber and sit do^n in the
chair of Washington, is a national
scandal and shame. No: give us
our centennial fresh, new and clean in
187G. Let the landlords and speculators
bide their time and give us less Philadel
phia and a little more United States in
the great exhibition. We cannot guard
too closely against obliterating the dis
tinction between mine and thine, to
which there is unhappily a tendency in
Pennsylvania. This programme to day
smacks too much of what Lowell terms
“Putting public trusts
To very private uses.”
The “Heathen Chinee” is a New
Quarter.—A Chinese invasion of Queens
land is threatened on a rather alarming
scale. Sydney papers of a late date re
port the arrival at Cooktowu of two
steamers with 1,270 Chinese, and 8,000
more were said to be at Hong Kong wait
ing shipment. The source of attraction
is the new gold region of which Cook-
town—which eighteen months ago was
non-existent—may be termed the capital.
The Australian and American diggers
have, of course, taken fright, and they
are clamoring for “prohibitory” legisla
tion against the invaders. They declare
openly that if the Chinese are allowed to
swarm at the diggings they will certainly
come into collision with the whites; but
as the Celestials aie peace-loving and
industrious, this can only mean that the
whiles intend to attack them with or
without provocation. The Sydney Mail
hopes the authorities will not yield to
the outcry. At the same time it ap
proves of the precaution of sanitary in
spection to avert the danger of any
Chinese landing while suffering from
leprosy or any contagious disease. As
for the other questions involved in the
problem, the resources of the colony
need developing to the uttermost, and
the Mail argues that it will be quite time
to legislate against the Chinese when it
is discovered that they are a real source
of danger to the commonwealth.
The Public Debt.—A comparison of
the public debt statement for the month
of June, the end of the fiscal year, as
compared with the statement for the
month of June of 1874, shows that in
the year there has been a decrease in the
six per cent, bonds of $112,739,150, and
an increase of the five per cent, bonds of
$96,504,700. The debt, payable in cur
rency, which consists only of the Navy
Pension Fund and tho certificates of in
debtedness of 1870, is the same as it was
a year ago, $14,678,000. The matured
debt has increased $8,209,230. By reason
of the reduction in the principal of the
funded debt and the reduction of inter
est, the annual interest charge has been
decreased about $1,800,000. On the 1st of
July of last year the currency balance ou
hand was $14,576,010. On the 1st
of July of this year $3,973,951. Not
withstanding, therefore, the retirement
of $6,000,000 or more of legal tenders,
and the retirement of several millions of
fractional currency, the unfunded obli
gations of the government have increased
over $600,000, which is practically an in
crease, or an inflation of the currency to
Cause or the Increase of Crime in
New York.—The committee of the New
York Assembly, charged with the in
vestigation of the cause of the increase of
crime in New’ York, on Wednesday ex
amined Wm. A. Martinet, who was ou the
police force eight years and a ward de
tective four years. He testified that
while he was a detective m the twenty-
ninth precinct the keepers of panel
houses paid to Capt. Burden $75 a week
and fifty per cent, of the amount named
by complainants. The gamblers and
keepers of houses of prostitution used to
pay for police protection. He believed
that this practice still existed. He was
sure that no gambling or panel houses
could exist in any precinct without the
knowledge of the Captain. Thieves and
pickpockets were well known to most of
the detectives. There was little encourage
ment to detectives to arrest thieves.
They might take a man to tho central
office, and swear that they knew that he
was a thief, but they would probably
meet the man in the street on the next
day. In reply to the committee’s ques
tion as to the recovery of stolen property,
Mr. Martinet said that much of it was re
covered through collusion between the
thieves and the detectives. When a
public man’s property was stolen the
pickpockets were warned that unless it
was returned they would all be “run in.
That notice usually brought back the
property.
The St. Louis Globe, writing of the
plank in the Democratic platform of Ohio
which denounces the National Bankp,
says:
The Eastern Democracy will not—can
not—assent to this. The sudden uproot
ing of the present system of banking
would bring on a panic worse than that
of two years ago, and would be the great
est disaster that ever befell the mercan
tile classes in this country. The nation
needs stability; it has it, and no candi
date who favors revolution will stand a
shadow of a chance in a general election.
This, replies the Cincinnati Enquirer,
is charming doctrine! Tho people are
not to be relieved of a system which an
nually robs them of from $20,000,000 to
$30,000,000, for fear there would be a
disturbance. The rich gentlemen are not
to be disturbed. The nation needs sta
bility. That’s the argument of the mailed
Dictator. Despots talk about stability.
It was that sort of cry that elected Grant
to a second term, and it will make an
effort to elect him to a third. The ene
mies of the people never want a change
when they have once saddled their iniqui
ties upon willing servants.

Pjtobged.—To be divorced evidently
“runs in tl*e family’' ip spme quarters.
How otherwise c*n any one account for a
circumstance so notable as that in a case
on trial last week in the Marine Court,
New York? Every witness examined on
Wednesday, man or woman, had been
divorced. There were five of them—all
more or less nearly related to one another
and of various ages; fathers and sons
and daughters, sisters, brothers, cousins ;
all married, and, though married, yet
neither husbands nor wives, but divorced
people. As they are &11 related if mighf
be a fair inference that the same infirmi
ties of temper ran round the circle and
led to the same result in all these oases.
Or, is it not more likely that the whole
party ore members of Plymouth Church ?
One of the proprietors of the alpaca
factory in Chautauqua county, New York,
having been presented with a fine pair of
Angora goats, attempted, it is said, the
remarkable feat of taking the fleeces
from their backs and making a fashion
able dress of the wool between sun and
sun. Operations were commenced at
sunrise, and at an early hour in the after
noon the goods were ready for the dress
makers. Four ladies then made the
dress, complete in every particular, and
ready for wearing at sunset.
We were not aware that the Chautau-
quains had become so expert in the manip
ulation of goats’ hair, though we have
long known that in tanning hides the
people of that region are marvelously
rapid, often getting their feet into boots
made from a hide before the animal was
fairly out of it.
The ravages of the small-pox are increas
ing in New York,and it is also reported that
there is greater danger than usual this
summer of a visitation of yellow fever.
This disease is said to be raging with
great virulence throughout the West
Indies, and many cases have been taken
to Key West, Fla. The season has been
peculiarly adapted to the spread of yel
low fever in Cuba, as there have been
none of the usual cold, heavy gales
called “Northers,” which have acted as a
check to the spread of the disease. Ves
sels are now due at New York from ports
where yeflow fever is known to be raging.
Warm Springs. 1
Madison County. N. C.. July 6.
Editor Morning News:
According to promise, I send you greet
ings from the mountain gorge of North
Carolina. A beautiful country, picturesque
beyond expre.-sion—I might, perhaps, say
the Switzerland of America, but the ex
pression has become trite. Too many
places bear the name already. No words
can express the grandeur of this moun
tain scenery; my dictionary fails me, so
lay it aside and proceed.
These spriqgs are situated almost in
the centre of the gorge, in a basin, as it
were, with mountain views. On all sides
nse precipitous mountains, while th^
valley between is dotted with handsome
little cottages. The hotel is itself situ
ated directly on the French Broad river,
whose rapid waters lave the mountains
sides as it winds among them. Long,
wide piazzas surround the building, afford
ing ample opportunities for promenades.
An addition has just been finished to
the original building, enlarging its ca
pacity almost two-fold. Four hundred
and fifty guests can now be accommo
dated, and fully that number are expected
during the season. Some seventy fill the
roll at present. Among them are some
of your own citizens. Mr. Gammell, of
Hunter A Gammell, is here with his
family, to pass the summer away from
your July and August heat. Captains
Farley and Parramore are also here.
More are expected, and Savannah will
probably be well represented. The
amusements are pretty much as at other
resorts of this kind. Fishing is reported
good. A party of us tried the fishing,
and after an hour’s angling, without as
much as a nibble, caught a tremendous
ducking from a mountain storm. We
returned with a very small idea of moun
tain fishing; still, dry clothes and
beverage calmed our feelings and we may
try it again.
The principal feature is, of course, the
bath. With a temperature of from 100
to 102 degrees Farenheit it affords great
relief to all species of rheumatism, gout,
etc. The bath is not as large as that of
the Warm Springs of Virginia, but it is
admitted to be a few degrees warmer.
There is also a white sulphur spring about
four hundred yards from the hotel. It is
uot very strong, but quite efficacious as
a tonic. The charges generally are
reasonable. Think of eggs at ten cents
per dozen and chickens at eight cents
apiece. The fare is good and improving
daily. The climate, of course, is good.
Mid-day is warm, but nights aud early
mornings delightful.
In short, if you wish to come to a
healthy place, at reasonable figures, this
is the place, (and I would state, in paren
thesis, that I am not paid for making
that remark). The only drawback is get
ting here. That part of the programme is
simpty fearful. The railroad travel over a

of ten miles every sixty minutes is noth
ing to speak of. [I do not expect you to
credit the rate of speed, but they use
steam up here, and it is wouderful what
an advantage it is.] The change at Mor
ristown, Tennessee, at 4:20 a. in., can be
borne philosophically, but the staging—
shades of antiquity ! They call it eight
miles (it is twelve if it is an inch), over
the roughest mountain road the sun ever
shone ou. Three to four hours of agony.
I do not claim to possess a good memory,
generally, but if ever that experience es
capes me, may I be doomed to repeat the
trip a dozen times. That is as severe a
sentence as I can readily imagine. Hang
ing would be a luxury.
Still, it is a good, healthy, semi-
fashionuble place to visit, but prepare,
unhappy travellers, for a wonderfully ex
traordinary stage ride.

H.
Old Jubal—He Cannot Enthuse.
At the University of Virginia com
mencement, old Jubal Early whs called
upon aud made a little speech. \ The
Baltimore Sun correspondent thus -^re
ports : \
After the vociferous ^pplaifce ana
cheers with which he was - received had
subsided. General Early said that htfctook
thiii call as no empty conJDlimeni to
himdeif, but as an expression\of fidelity
to th&, cause they all loyed and Cherished.
He had no extemporaneous speech in his
pocket, and should attempt to make
none. As this is an era of centennial
celebrations, and he could not conscien
tious^’ go the whole figure, he thought
that he would come down to this semi
centennial, hoping that if he lived to the
end of the next century he might then
be prepared for even a centennial.
In joining in the congratulations of this
occasion it was to him a sad reflection that
this noble university is all that remains
of the works of its great founder. He
begged pardon of the faculty and of the
university authorities if he uttered things
uot suitable to the occasion, but as he had
been called out, he would say it ought to
be most distinctly understood that Vir-
ginia will never consent to occupy the
place of a repentant rebel, and that if she
is given a place in national processions
she will not be l£d in chains, however
they may be gilded by kind words and fra
ternal embraces.
General Early was frequently inter
rupted with loud and prolonged applause,
his sentiments apparently coinciding with
the views of mauy present.
Soprg Gaboljna and the Centennial.
—The President of the South Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical Society,
Major Woodward, declares that “the ap
pointment of commissioner for this State
renders it impossible for me to have any
lot or part in the centennial celebration.
I regret this, but so it is. The present
commissioner shall and can never repre
sent n^e or mine. He is the fit represent
ative of South Carolina carpet-baggers,
aqd not of the descendants of South
CayoUnji jreyQlqtioipMry patriots.*' Qen.
Gurney, a former Federal officer, is the
objectionable commissioner.
A Bitter Retort.—The New York
Herald has recently published a series of
letters from one of its staff correspond
ents, Mr. Charles Nordhoff, touching the
excesses and misrule of the Radical party
in a number of the Southern States where
he had been traveling. This exposure
exercised a bad effect on the loyal nerves
of the Washington National Republican,
and it proceeded to characterize Mr. Nord
hoff as a “Dutch Jew.” In reply Mr. N.
has written an open letter to the Hon. J.
M. Edmunds, chairman of the National
Republican Executive Committee, in
which he says he is neither Dutch nor
Jew, but a German, and proud of his
nationality; but if he were a Jew he
would not be ashamed of it, for the
Jews in this country are an intelligent,
industrious aud peaceable body of citi
zens.” Mr. Nordhoff then adds:
‘You ought to muzzle your dog, the
National Republican. A recent and no
torious overdose of government pep has
given him an indigestion, and he is snap
ping at the heels of your friends. If you
let him go on he will presently do the
party a damage. The Republican party
should have a respectable organ in Wash
ington. But if you cannot get rid of the
Washington National Republican you
ought at least to change its name,
might call it the National Idiot. T
you the suggestion as * ~
nest Republican.”

THE CARLISTS.
Madrid, July 8.—The Alfonsist troops.
under General Martinez Campas, sailed
from Vinaroz, near the mouth of the
river Ebro, in several vessels, on the 6th
inst., for Catalonia. General Jovellar,
with the main body of the Alfonsists,
waf to leave Cantavieja to -day for the
purpose of recrossing the Ebro in pursuit
of General Dorregary, who with 7.000
men had vainly attempted to cross the
river Cinca. DeLatre’s brigade bars the
passage towards Catalonia.
The Alfonsist Gen. Arrando has, after
a five hours’ engagement, defeated nine
Carlist battalions under command of
Sab&lls. and relieved the town of La
Junquera in the province of Gerona. The
loss on both sides was considerable. The
Alfonsist Generals Querada and Loma
have forced the Carlist positions at
Trevino and sent Tello to relieve Vittera,
the Province of Alava. Many Carlists
were killed in this movement and forty
were captured. The Alfonsist squadron
has again bombarded the town of Berrno,
ou the Biscay coast, for two days. Among
the prisoners captured by the Alfonsists
at Cantaviega were the Representatives of
the Provincial Department of Aragon
and the pupils of the Carlist military
school. The Carlists are continually pre
senting themselves to the authorities of
the Province of Castellar and demanding
amnesty.
THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
London, July 8.—In the House of Com
mons this evening, Lord Hamilton, Under
Secretary of State for India, in reply to
an inquiry of Mr. Grant Duff, touching
the difficulty between Great Britain aud
Burmah, said the earlier matters in dis
pute had been satisfactorily arranged,
but the murder of Mr. Margany necessi
tated the government’s insisting that the
King of Burmah should give every fa
cility for the punishment of the offend
ers. The King had refused to permit the
passage of British troops through Bur
mah, but Lord Hamilton hoped he would
yield to the representations of the British
envoy, and thus prevent a collision.
Mr. Disraeli made a statement in re
gard to the contemplated visit of the
Prince of Wales to India. He said the
simplicity suitable for a visit to the colo
nies would not be in place for a journey
through India, though the Viceroy had
intimated that the custom of making
ceremonial presents need not be observe .
Yet the Prince must be placed in a posi
tion to exercise generosity and display
splendor. It would, however, be undig
nified to enter into a discussion upon this
point. His Royal Highness will start for
India on the 7th of October. His visit
will last six months, and the expenses to
insure the necessary pomp and dignity
would be $710,000.
FLOOD IN FRANCE.
Paris, July 8.—The rivers Touques
and Orbiquet overflowed their banks last
night, inundating the town of Lisieux
and environs. In the Department of
Calvados railway traffic is interrupted,
several bridges having been destroyed.
There was some loss of life. Four per
sons were drowned at Lisieux aud three
at Glos. The waters are subsiding at
Lisieux, but rapidly rising at Pont
d’Eveque, lower down the Touques.
STORM IN SWITZERLAND.
Berne, July 8.—A fearful storm in the
Swiss canton of Geneva aud the French
frontier was accompanied by hail stones of
immense size. The glasses m all the
windows in the district where the storm
raged were demolished. Many persons
were killed and injured.
THE BISHOP OF MUNSTER.
Berlin, J uly 8.—The Westphalian Mer
cury says that the trial of the Bishop of
Munster, with a view to his deposition
from his See, will commence on Satur
day next.
Comparisons are Odious.—“General
Grant is the best man towards the South
that ever drew a sword against us,” said
Alexander H. Stephens recently in a
speech at Sparta. “Yea, better than
General Blair.” We should like to hear
Mr. Stephens attempt to prove wherein
and in what manner General Grant has
ever served the people of the Southern
States to a tithe of the benefit won for
them by Francis P. Blair, at the cost of
his health, we may almost say of his life.
Through that memorable season of 1871-
’72, in the Senate, General Blair, though
poor in health, remained up night after
night, for weeks of the session, battling,
often single-handed, against Sumner and
the strongest men of the other side, who
were determined to force the civil rights
bill in its most obnoxious form on the
country, as well as other meas
ures destructive of the liberties of
the Southern people. Nor was this all.
Almost broken down by such protracted
labor, he nevertheless worked single-
handed on the Ku-Klux committee in
Alabama and elsewhere, and such was the
base perversity with which the Radicals
on the committee persisted in their efforts
to frame a report to sustain the carpel-
bagging Ananiases in Congress and
throughout tho South, that they abso
lutely divided into morning and evening
squads aod compelled him to work all
day Jong and fri quently into the night.
It bioke him down, 1 ut in connection
with Senator Bayard, Le prepared a vol
uminous minority report, the excessive
labor of collecting material for which he
had borne almost alone. What that mi
nority report did for the South the people
of the Southern Sta‘es should be pos
sessed of, or they are criminally ignorant.
Mr. Stephens certainly could not have
remembered these services when he
passed such high praise on the President.

five shillings and costs for going to the

The Court said that if the boy’s mother
had not interceded for him, a severer

similar law could be enforced in this

probably be raised.

The Last Importation of Slaves—In
teresting Reminiscences.
Augusta, Ga., July 6, 1875.
Editor of the Constitutionalist:
Sib: I notice in the Savannah Morn
ing News of the 5th inst., an interesting
article upon “ The Last Importation
African Slaves,” clipped from the
New Orleans Times. There are doubt
less many persons in this vicinity who
know* of the whereabouts of several
blacks brought over in the Wanderer.
Col. Lamar disposed of twenty or thirty
between the cities of Savannah and
Augusta, besides sending a large num
ber to more remote localities. The
most intelligent of the Wanderer’s
cargo were retained by the Colonel,
and it is a matter of record that he
took peculiar pleasure in driving by the
office of the Savannah Republican in
1859, with a “slick African” at his side,
who always touched his hat very politely
to the editor of that paper, whenever
seen, who was bitterly opposed to the im
portation of slaves. At the close of the
war, after the gallant Lamar had been
‘buried in death," I met with “John” in
Savannah. Slavery to him had proven a
blessing, and he was just beginning to
feel the want of “a master’s protecting
hand.” In his broken English he eulo
gised the kindness of “Mars Charles,”
and told, with tears in his eyes, how
‘poor John” had lost his first and only
friend.
In Beaufort district, S, C., before the
late war, dozens of native Africans were
to be seen. On my father’s plantation
werd two, “Johnny” and “Venture.”
The former was restive and ambitious,
but never insolent. He claimed to be a
prince in his native laud, and could not
brook the familiarity of his associates.
“Venture” was a “Gullah,” who believed
in ghosts and worshipped his idol once a
week. Being superannuated, they were
cared for by a master’s bounty. When
emancipation came, poverty soon ended
the troubles of “Venture” by bringing
the relief of death, and “Johnny” sur
vived only a few months to perish in his
hut, which was blown down by a sum
mer cyclone.
While the present generation of ne
groes may improve themselves by indus
try, honesty and economy, yet they will
never attain the happiness of the old
“daddies” and “aunties,” who were fa
vorites with all. And that people will
yet learn that a seat under one’s own
“vine and fig tree” is better than a seat
in the Legislature, and furthermore that
they are—
“Free but in name, the slaves of endless toil,
In Georgia still they turn the stubborn soil;
To each alike applies the stern decree,
Tnat man shall labor whether bond or free.”

In Cincinnati, on the 4th, a boy named
John Hanlahan accidentally discharged a
breech loading cartridge-pistol with which
he was carelessly playing. The ball passed
through his left hand, tearing a hideous
wound, and then buried itself in the chin
of a man named John Kenealy, who hap
pened to be passing by. The boy will be
maimed for life, if he does not die of
lockjaw, as now seems probable, and
Kenealy will be permanently disfigured.
