LARGEST daily oiroulation
read la the light, of their subsequent
of eon current act*, exhibit, the Hub*
limity of impudence. There is so
~itsfca*‘<:ri:at!<:jr in practice, and so
much profession in sentiment, that
we .of tie South at least, haring un
dergone bo sad an experience in tiio
first, are ooeustomed to listen to the
latter only in deepest disgust.
These feelings were of spontaneous
growth when, within a day or two
post, In looking over some old files,
ear eye was directed to the following
paragraph from an address delivered
by that paxegjter of patriotism, hon
esty (?) and broad philanthropy, lan
if/tulfit 'Wllllanis ; otherwise known as
George H. Williams, Attorney Gen- 1
oral of the United States. The occa
sion was the formal dedication and
transfer of the Exhibition Grounds
to the Commissioners for the Centen
nial Anniversary, which transfer was
made on July 4tn, 1873.
The speaker is described, in the
account of It, os a man imbued with
national pride, (God savo tho mark!)
and his great soul, pregnant with
oeiestial fire, unburdened itself as
follows ; “Ua© hundred years ago the
old Continental - “ Congress assemblod
|ip Philadelphia. Washington, Ad
* mbs, Franklin nhd Henry were there.
Mighty events ware conceived in their
deliberations. They discussed ques
tions ‘big with the fate of empire.’
Patrick Henry, apjiealing to that
TJMjigrGSs Cor union, said, 'The dis
'tfnotion between Pennsylvanians,
Virginians, New Yorkors and New
Englander* b#o mom’; and, rising
mi highlit fl|tch •of dloqucaca, he
exclaimed, T am not a Virginian, but
lam an American. ’ Let us nope that
the spirit of that Congress may de
scend upon the Centennial Anniver
sary. Let the people dome down
from the Bt. Lawrence and the Lakes;
let them como from the Rio Grande
and the Gulf; lot them come from
tho Valley of tho Mississippi and the
shores of the Pacific- but let them
come not filled with State or soetiomil
pride and jealousy, but ns Washing
ton, Adams and Henry oame, remem
bering only that they are Amer
icans.”
Now in cool, calculating, imper
turbable impudence, cun anything |
possibly ejeeed that—except it bo u
lecture commendatory of ofllciul pu
rity from “boss” Tweed, of personal
honesty from lien Butler, of human
ffy from Sherman or Sheriduu, or of |
chastity from Victoria IVnodhull or
.Tosle Maufilleld?
Tho Imritatiqß is, to the
llio Grande and the flu If- the people
on the ope, which was purchased as
a Mexican boundary through costly
offerings of, blood, being
besought to thank the destroyers of
their new-born liberties; tho citizens
of four States bordering on the other,
now in this tho ninoty-pjnth year ,of
American Independence, trembling
lest they lose the writ oinbodying tho
lust frail nemnant of their own. The
qnco blooming shores washed by the
majestic Mississippi aro asked to
rejoice over their desolation ; and the
hind of Washington and Henry,
dismembered and dishonored, is
expected to meet, as In sisterhood,
to caress tho “bustard offspring” of
her ayrrt political rape, and
“Bless the hand that doomed so dear a
death."
No f away with the Centennial
twaddle. Whon the South has
breathed ono full good year of real
liberty when she is in good faith
recognized as part and parcel of the
natioii- she may refuse to recall, if
she can not quite forgive, the past,
amt may hed the invocation to
glorify the century of greutness
attained by other sootApns more
fortunate, Indeed, but less deserving.

Tho abovo slander is just now going
the rounds of the Radical press, such
as tho kitchen organ. The charge is
known by every one in the South,
black and wbito, to be an infamous
lie, manufactured out of whole cloth.
There are no more white than colored
military organizations In tho South,
and as for there being any war spirit
In these military companies it, is too
ridiculous to need comment.
It is but a fair sample of how we
are maligned by these infernal men
who come among us ns correspond

aro frequently welcomed cordially by
the people, introduced to our fami

rage of the latter’s partisans, at the

i of their defeat. Tho incongruities
that now exist in the present form of
government can bo corrected in 18S0
when the disappointed shall have
been reconciled to un accomplished

its enomies, and will only distrust
wolves i u sheep’s clothing. Anew

four years. It is under tho tegis of
the people that the Republic lives.
Strange coincidence, It was in Febru

Orleanists.-nnd almost day for day, lu
February, 1875, we see the Orleanists
permanently voting the Republic.
late dinners are said to be one of
the chief causes of the decline of the
drama In Paris, and the question is
bolng ugltated of returning to the in
stitution of suppers, so dear to socie
ty of tho eighteenth century. The
favorite dinner hour at present, is be
tween seven and eight, more general
ly the hitter hour; it Is nine o’clock
before tho meal is finished, a cup of
coffee drunk, and u cigar puffed; and
somewhat about, half-past nine ere
one is in their place in the theatre.
And in what condition; a stomach
full, and a head heavy, acted upon by
the limited atmosphere of tho build
ing, and which do not permit such a
spectator to give more attention than
to il single air or to the ballet. Men
under these circumstances, if not a
boa, is the slave of his digestive Or- 1
guns, where matter has temporarily
conquered mind. It is certain that
the greatest works of dramatic art
have been represented before fasting
audiences; tho Athenians, nourished
upon black olives and dry tigs, may
be said never to have dined; the Ro
mans attended the theatre in tho day
time, and beforo the usual hour of!
moil's ;lt was the same in England
during the time of Shakspoare, and
in Franco pending the epoch of Oor
nclUu and Racine. Binoe 1789, sup
pors as an institution are dead in
France, and society is not likely
to bo reconstituted on that basis, j
although it exists in Ht. Petersburg,
Vienna, Berlin, and Italy. Then j
Parisians like to go to bed late; an j
hour before midnight and an hour
after It, is tho favorite time for a
stroll along the Boulevards. It is im
possible to dine at, six, when the As
sembly, which after all is tile grand
dictator, does not rise till that hour,
to enable Deputies to return to Paris;
lienee, why no manager ever serious
ly thinks of producing the groat at
traction of the evening before nine
o’clock, and it is not till half an hour
later, that “all Paris” will find iteolf
la the dress circles. Theatres ordi
narily open at eight, with a smart one
act, Vauderville, known as 7 ever tie ri
dcaii. No, Pare* in ns will adhere, to
their arrangement of two dinhi-rs dai
ly, with an afternoon cup of tea for
bitters: all that can he done for the
drama is to prevent the dinner hour
from becoming later.
Frederic Boulic was a most popular
novelist and dramatist, who exiieri
enced tho extremes of misery and for
tune. It was ever a subject of aston
ishment why no monument was erect
ed to his memory, since his death in
1847. As his sister inherited tho in
terest iu liis writings, amounting to
M.ooof. at least (sir year, liis rights of
author in his drama the Cluaerie tics
(toilet* alone annually nets a,000f., it
was felt she ought to display the nec
essary gratitude; after some 27 yours
of reflection it apiiears she consented
to defray tho expenses of a very' pret
ty tomb, a kind of granite pyramid,
with a medallion-likeuess of the au
thor, fairly truthful, in bronze by
Clesingor, ami au open book, with a
bonier of palms, also in bronze, on
which is inscribed the names of his
chief works. The Society of authors
has just sitjverintended the exhuma
tion of Soulie’s remains, a mass hav
ing been celebrated, and followed by
the usual speeches; the weather was 1
certainly very inclement, which may ,
uooount for the absence of literary!
celebrities; not an actor was present, j
Soulie occupied his last moments die-; 1
taring to his private Secretary, a poem
to coming Death; this latter lie so:
fully expected, that a few hours lie-!
fq*e expiring ho had himself dressed j
in grave clothes, to receive the visi-!
tor com me U/aitl; in this position he
bid adieu to liis friends, and, after
shedding a few tears, quietly expired.
Army roorjfaiuaatiou is making
some progress; thus a decree has
boon published regulating the details
of military executions; the execution
party must aim at that part of the
culprit’s body between the elbow and
the sluHtildqjfj the eyes of tho con
doaneff must be Randaged. It Is to
bSegrotri I tiatono humane ciroum
■ UMicc lias born overlooked, that of
itfiing the twelve muskets of the flr-
Uippnrty in-tmdra manner as to have
two charged only with blank cart
ridge. It is no secret that many <J
the aoldiers ptoced pt six .yards ,from
Mte condemned, feef HI m the pres
ent** of the task duty isi[x" on
them. A m*liWw writer on
jeot flutes' tli*t the Maytfroid display- j
'edViy culprits, is Bio consequence of
stupor and agony, producing at onoc
physical and moral Insensibility. It
is a common observation, fully borne
out yiending the Commune and its
consoqnenoes, that civilians when
kneeling uguinst the fatal stake, ex
hibit more of this sangfroid than sol
diers similarly placed.
The Wlmpffen triul lias now pushed
from it* tribunal to the historical
stage. Tho Bonapartlat editor, de
Cassugnac, culled General Wlmpffen
a traitor and a coward, and the jury
acquitted him, believing the words to
liave been used in a metaphorical
sense. Since the verdict, the Impe
rialists believe that “damned spot,”
Sedau, has been washed out of the
Second Empire, but the contrary ef
fect lias resulted. Napoleon himself,
in hi* letter to Sir John Burgoyne,
admits that “political considera
tions,” not strategy, compelled hits
to march on Sedan. From the open
ing of the campaign, till the capitu
lation of the Emperor, all was in fu
vorof those considerations, and which
meant., pr<-nervation of effete dynasty.
There was no more plan for battle at
Bedan than at any other stage of the
campaign; it was a fighting in the
dark, and trusting for good luck to
turn up. (Sedan was only the logical
defeat of anterior faults. Najxdoon
I. never permitted capitulation in full
oumi>aign; soldiers are. only to be
made prisoners in fighting, and sov
ereigns, like King Jean and Francois
1., to lie taken arms in hand. He
also maintained that more soldiers
dio in captivity than would by hold
ing out. The nrmy of Metz lost 3,000
men killed In battle, 15,000 died in
the German caiulw. The belief is
taking possession of the public mind,
that the Era[>ress, and her War-Min
ister of the fifth class—Faliuko, mere
ly used the army of Bedan as an escort
for the Emperor to any plaee of safety,
provided he did not enter I‘arls. He
wu* positively exiled by his own gov
ernment. At two o’clock on the day
of .Sedan, the Emjieror refused to fol
low Wlmpffen, in an attempt to cut
his way through the Germans; ho
feared to be taken ; at half past two,
he ordered the white flag to be run
up. Now during this half hour, the
Emperor had the idea to ily in dis
guise as a peasant, but the plan had
to be given up, as M, Petit, a local in
spector of forests, could not bo found
to guido him. Tlie humane motives
alleged to have actuated the Emi>eror
in capitulating, do not carry much
weight in France, where the man who
mowed down the citizens on tho Bou
levards for ids coup d’etat is not for
gotten ; besides, it was before declar
ing unjustifiable war against Germa
ny, his humanity ought to have como
Into play.
Brlxltnm Young.
The Mormon Prophet in liis old
ago, has fallen upon evils never con
templated iu his early days. Lately
ho was brought before a Methodist
Judge, and was fined twenty-five dol
lars and sentenced to a day’s impris
onment.. The old man’s contempt
| consisted in a steady refusal to pay
; his dear Ann Eliza’s lawyers their
j fees in tiie time prescribe. After a
j little consultation, Brigham conclu
ded to pay down the little sum of
three thousand dollars, and dis
claimed any contempt for the court,
anil then retired to his cell. His case
will bo appealed. If each of Brig
ham’s wives who wish a divorce, will
employ lawyers to obtain them at
three thousand dollars a ease, the
old man will bo bankrupt and his
numerous children left lieggars.

The Threatened Klchniund Duel.
The personal rencontre between

and Mr. A. Fulkerson, of the House
of Delegates, resulted in the arrest
of the hitter, and Mr. James P. Cow

on a charge of being about to engage
in a duel or otherwise break the
peace. They were both before a po
lice justice Thursday, when, after
an investigation, they were placed
under bonus in ouo thousand dollars
to keep the peace. Tho correspond
