THE FUTURE HOUSE OF REPRE
SENTATIVES.
There is a desperate attempt being made
to show that the recent, elections are satis
factory evidences of Democratic progress,
but the attempt is rather more creditable
as a piece of special pleading than any
thing else. Nothing short of a miracle
will prevent the Radicals from having a
good working majority iu the next House
of Representatives, and, this being the
case, what will become of the few Demo
crats gained in Pennsylvania and Ohio ?
Take, for example, the case of Schenck.
Bchenck has been defeated by a so-called
Democrat, who happens to be not exactly a
Radical. Already Schknck has given notice
of his Intention to contest the seat of his
successful competitor. Does anybody sup
pose that a Radical majority in Congress
will permit Mr. Campbell to hold his seat
when Schknck clamors to usurp it ? Such
a person is either very credulous or else has
conveniently or inconveniently forgotten
that Congressmen have no better fun than
kicking out Democrats in a sort of foot
ball fashion and lugging in special friends
of the new regime. It is true they would
not dare to do this if the people were incor
couT&geflus and liberty-loving.—
Rut being craven, abject and besotted serfs,
Congress can thrust forth forty Democrats
and snap its fingers in the face of the
miserable poltroons who think they “ rule
America.”
The day of even the semblance of free
elections is fast passing away from the
North as well as from the Sonth. The
Richmond Dispatch, t watchful of the Man
on Horseback, thus sketches the inevitable
programme:
“ Federal bayonets stand by at. the elec
tions for Congressmen, and guard the in
terests of the incumbents of the Federal
offices, whilst fools applaud the act, and In
thus applauding acknowledge themselves
to be slaves as well. Os course the soldiers
and marines will not interfere with the de
positing or the counting of Ijhe ballots this
year, and perhaps not next, year. Yet it is
easy for reflecting men to foresee that it
will not be many years before voting in
this country will be as great a farce
as it recently was in France, where, with
ballot boxes guarded by soldiers, millions
of men ..voted to Qoutinue In office and
increase the powers of a ruler whom, as
soon as they felt free to do so, they and eel at
ed by words and acts they feared and hated.
This year soldiers are stationed near the
polls, merely to preserve the peace. Next
year they will stand arotind the ballot box.
The next they will guard scoundrels who
will ‘count in’ Radical candidates and
' count out’ Democratic ones. And finally
they will, ‘in the Interests of order and
good government,’ see that none but Radi
cal ballots are cast. The transition from
free government t,o a despotism is easy and
natural, as the experience of the world has
often proved. * Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty.”
It was to guard against just these very
evils that the South marched to battle.
When the North shall have sunk into des
potism, as sink she will unless soon roused
to action, the decent war Democrats who
helped consummate Radical usurpation
will wish with all their hearts that their
deeds had been as good as their words
when they swore that “ a Northern army
going forth to iuvade the South would
have to march over their dead bodies.”
AN IMMORTAL COMPLIMENT.
The New York World has this happily
conceived and admirable paragraph:
“If the wandering death-bed utterances
“of the two great Confederate Chieftains,
“‘Stonewall’ Jackson and Robert E.
“ Lee, may be considered as final upon the
“ matter, then the late Confederate General,
“A. P. Hill, who lost his life at the clos
ing battle of the war, must be accepted
“ by history as the most trusted coadjutor
“of these eminent commanders. In his
“ dying moments, Jackson exclaimed,
“ ‘ Send A. P. Hill to the front!’ ” Upon
“ his death-bed, at Lexington, Gen. Lee, as
“ the telegraph states, his mind reverting
“to the bloody events of the war, ‘once
“ ordered his tent to be struck, and, at an
“ other time, desired Hill to be sent for.
“Thus docs it appear that, iu the supreme
“moments of the closing hours of those
“ men upon whose shonlders rested the
“ heaviest burdens of the war upon the
“side of the Confederacy, came the utter
ance, born of delirium, but more solemn
“ for that reason, that stamps Geu. A. P.
“ Hill as a man whose presence was to be
“ desired, and whose fidelity was assured.
“ No higher compliment could be paid to
“ his memory than these parting words of
“ Lee and Jackson.”
Gemini. —Mr. Hoffman, Democratic
candidate for Governor of New York, de
clines to discuss publicly with Woodford,
the Radical nominee. One party is run
ning a man charged with fraud, and the
other party is running a man charged with
a deficiency of personal integrity. The
man charged with rascality in general
wants a dispute as to proof. The one
charged with fraud thiuks apparently that
the less said on both sides will be the soon
er mended. Who says this is not a great
country ?
A Singular Statement. —Ex-Secretary
of the Navy Gideon Welles charges that
Wm. H. Seward agreed to surrender Fort
Sumter to the Confederates in 1861, and
would have succeeded bnt for the importu
nities of himself and Montgomery Blair.

Obast hi 1861 .-Mr. B. Gratz Bbows
is hard on the President-General. In a re

strip off his epaulettes and abandon the
service. He intended to teach him farther
that freedom meant the liberation of all the
white men of this nation as well as the lib
eration of all the black men of this nation,
and that he could not go back under the
specious pretenses of party policy upon the
freedom of the white man, after having ac
complished the freedom of the black man.’ ”
So, Ui.ysseb hated negroes enough in
1861 to threaten to strip off his epaulettes
and quit the army if the war meant
emancipation. Why does he not now
threaten to abdicate the Presidency in case
several hundred thousand white men are
allowed to vote ?
Grant and Lee.— And standing here
by the grave of thi9 brave Virginian, we
say—and we speak fer Datfis and Breckin
ridge r and Buckner and Duke, and Brown,
of Tennessee, and Forrest and Preston, and
an hundred more—that there is nothing
we ask for our hero that we are unwiliiug
o‘r unready to give to yours.
[Courier-Journal'
The Courier-Journal may speak for the
individuals mentioned, 'or aught we know
to the contray; but if he meant to say that
the people of the South will honor Grant,
at his demise, as they honored Lkk, we are
of opinion that he reckons without bis
host. The South may hear of Grant’s
death in silence, but she will not put od
mourning or declare that there was no
stain on his honor or spot on his sword.
Poor Fellows— Commenting upon the
recent fizzle in the Pennsylvania and Ohio
elections, the Richmond Dispatch says :
“ The truth is, the northern Democrats
have not the tact, or good sense, or wis
dom, or what yon will, to make up good
issues. The Southern Democrats formerly
made these up for them, and then they were
always successful.”
And inasmuch as Sam Randall & Cos.
have accepted the XlVth Amendment, how
long will it be before a decent and intellec
tual party-manager can ever, help the
wretched Northern Democracy out of the
slough ?
John Bull. —Mr. Thomas Hughes, au
thor of School Days at Rugby , delivered a
lecture at Boston, recently, which will
please only a few tuft hunters of the Hub.
He declared that a certain class of English
men sympathized with the North, during
the war, merely on account of the destruc
tion of negro slavery, careless if the Union
were preserved so Sambo got the ballot.—
He detests the South, probably because she
fought for personal rights and Constitu
tional Liberty against Northern Jacobin
ism. Gold help England if she gets in the
clutches of Tom Hughes & Cos.
Indeed! —The Radical papers prove
beyond controversy that centralism was the
cause of France’s disaster. And yet these
same are moving with might and
main to centralize the United States. Well,
if centralism cannot be prevented, let it
drive on. There are worse things in this
world than a grand collapse of the United
States.

Remarks of Gen. Wade Hampton on
the Death of Gen. Lee.
The following was delivered at a public
meeting in Columbia, S. C.:
Fellow-Citizens: We are called to
gether to-day by an announcement which
will cause profound sorrow throughout the
civilized world, and which comes to us
bearing the additional grief of a personal
and private bereavement. The foremost
man of all the world is no more; and as
that news is carried by the speed of light
ning through every town and village and
hamlet of this land which he loved so well,
and amongst whose people who loved and
honored and venerated him so profoundly,
every true heart in the stricken South will
feel that the country has lost its pride and
glory, and that the citizens of that coun
try have lost a father. I dare not venture
to speak of him as I feel. Nor do we come
to eulogize him. Not only wherever the
English language is spokeu, but wherever
civilization extends, the sorrow—a part, at
least, of the sorrow we feel—will be fdt,
and more eloquent tongues than mine will
tell the fame and recount the virtues of
Robert E. Leic*. We need not come to praise
him. We come only to express our sym
pathy, our grief, oor bereavement. We
come not to mourn him, for we know that
it is well with him. We come only to ex
tend our sympathy to those who are be
reaved.
Now that he is fallen, I may meutiou
what I have never spoken of before, to
show you not only whit were the feelings
that actuated him in the duty to which his
beloved countrymen called him, but what
noble sentiments inspired him, when he
saw the cause for which he had been fighting
so long about to perish. Just before the sur
render, after a night devoted to the most
arduous duties, as one of his staff came in
to see him in the morning, he found him
worn and weary and disheartened, and the
General said to him, “ How easily 1 conld
get rid of this and be at rest. I have only
to ride along the line, and all will be over.
But,” said he—and there spoke the Chris
tian patriot—“ it is ou# duty to live, for
what will become of the women and chil
dren of th ‘ South if we are not here to pro
tect them.” The same spirit of fiu'y which
had actuated him through all the perils and
all the hardships of that unequal conflict
which he had waged so heroically—that
same high spirit of duty told him that he
must live to show that he was great
greater, if that were possible, in peace than
in war; live to teach the people whom he
had before led to victory how to bear de
feat ; live to show what a great and good
man can accomplish; live to set an ex
ample to his people for all time; live to
bear, if nothing else, his share of the sor
rows, and the afflictions, and the troubles
which had come upon his people. He is
now at rest ; and surely we of the South
can say of him, as we say of his great ex
emplar, the “Father of his Conntry," that
he was first in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen.
