_ The New York Nation, a conserva
tive Republican journal, makes these
sensible remarks:
The effect on the Southern mind of a
Republican victory in 1880 will depend
on the platform on whioh the victory is
won, and the aims put forward by “the
wise and brave leader.” If it is won on
the bloody-shirt platform, and on the
theory'that every negro is ex vi termini
a Republican, and the language of the
canvass spreads the belief that the great
aim of the new Administration will be
to build up a black party in those States
in which negroes are in a majority, or
nearly in a majority, wo have no doubt
—human nature being much tho same
at the South as everywhere else—that
the effeot will be ti keep the white South
as solid as it is now, as the best protec
tion against the thing it most dreads—
negro rule. A stalwart, denunciatory,
exultant North, reveling in the memo
ries of the war, comparing every elec
tion to Gettysburg, and searching every
corner of the South with the fierce light
of newspaper criticism and report, for
the purpose ot turning all crimes, out
rages and disorders to political account,
purchase property, and indicating by every speech and ar-

Von Moltke never conversed with any
of them, but divided his time between,
his dinner (he plays an excellent knife ni, ° ° oad Uon -
and fork) and profound meditation.
One day he drew out of hie pooket ten
gold Frederics and laid them by his
plate. After dinner was over he put
them back again. The following day
he did the same thing, and so on for
five more. This singular proceeding
attracted general attention, and at
length an officer asked him politely
what his intention was in laying aside
that sum. Von Moltke said he would
tell him if ho and his officers present
promised not to be offended. They
pledged their words, of course, ana
eagerly expected his answer.
“Since I have been coming here,’’said
the Field Marshal,“I have observed
that your conversation turned exclu

conversation started any other subject.
I intended to give this money to the
first among you who said a sensible
