ONE OF THE PLANKs.-One-perhap the
only one-of the planks in the new platform
to be put forward by nascent Congressman
and sucking Senators, for the support of the
Democracy, on which the two wings" can
unite, is the number of daring frauds perpe.
trated by certain Republican officials during
the pendency of this war; This we infer from
the tone of certain professed Union Demo
cratic journals, who did John Conness the
discredit of supporting him last year, and the
whole secession pack, who join in the chorus
to the same strain. That very many most
outrageous frauds have been perpetrated it
would be folly to doubt. That Republicans
are as bad as anybody else, is perhaps equal
ly clear; but though no friend of the Re.
publican party, and no apologist for its sins
or mistakes, we do protest against those who
have stood the thefts and perjuries Of Floyd
without word of condemnation, now talk
ing about what Cameron, his successor, has
done. We have strong suspicion that there
is good ground of complaint against this
official, and if he is guilty, the Administra-
tion has done deep wrong in sustaining
him. Yet, as one who helped to put Floyd in
power, we don't think that, for the objects
sought to be accomplished by ambitious as
pirants to Office in this State, we have any
stones to shy At any rate, those who are
more guiltless than we are must have the
first throw.

The Rebel losses in the Serea Days BATTLES.
The rebel authorities have all along claimed
that their aggregate losses in the seven days
battles were less than the federal losses. The
assumption of such fact is simply prepOster-
Gus, as we have the evidence at hand to prove
the mendaclly of their statement in their own
published account. The following card is
written by a rebel and published IN rebel
newspaper, showing that the loses in the
North Carolina troops engaged in the bates
near Richmond exceeds onc.ilth Of the aggre-
gate federal loss:-
TO THE EDITOR OF THE RICHMOND INQUIRER.
Gentlemen-I see in late issue Of your
paper an extract from the Mobile Adrertiser
and Regis'er, giving what purports to be a
correct list OF the killed, wounded and miss
ing in the seven days battle round this city,
with also the number Of regiments from each
State engaged. 1t appears that the compiler
OF the statistics has represented that North
Carolina had only twenty'one regiments en-
gagged and that her loss in wounded was
slightly over 1000 deem it due to state
that North Cardinals forces during the memo
rable issues were forty-two regiments of inian'
try, one Of cavalry, and one company OF artil
lpry; and that, according to the lists, as CON
piled by tho Surgeon General Of the State, and
published and for delivery in this city, our
bounded in the Jattles, from the 9th June 4
la July atone, is 3,46s, in the hospitals an IN
city, not including sereral hundred oho wen
home and were left in the .feld hospitals. The
error is so grave. and it not being the first thu
above mentioned paper has fallen into in resart
to war statistics, beg to call your attention
to it. MARTIN V. MOORE,

between II 900 and 10000 wounded in tn
battle before Richmond, and thinks the whel
number, including those in private houses no
reported to him. will be about l2,5O0. Ger
eral Lee, am told, estimates the killed a
$500. To these must be added great man
who were disabled by exhaustion, want Of foo
and bad water, so that the sum total woll
amount, perhaps, to $4,000 and 10000. Th

sketch Of the Life OF Rcnl Admiral Rend.

Rear Admiral George Campbell Read, of the
United States Navy, died at Philadelphia on
Friday morning, at the Naval Asylum in that
city, Of which he was Governor. As an old
and esteemed citizen of Philadelphia and as a
brave and able officer of our navy, his death
will be sincerely lamentcd, though he has
reached an age when greater length Of years
was scarcely to lie expected. His illness was
short, and he has been out until quite recently,
looking well and vigorous.
Admiral Read was 10 native of Ireland, and
his age was about seventy five years. Hc
entered the infant navy Of the United States as
mldshipman, In the year 1904. We have nc
minute particulars Of his professional career
but we know that in 1912 he vas Ihird
Lieutenant under Commodore Hull, on tn,
Constitution, in the glorious battle with tht
Guerriere, and that he commanded the boa
which boarded the captured frigate.
He served throughout the war with Grea
Britain, and Just before its close'was assigned
to the command of the Chippewa, one Of tb
vessels of the flying squadron" organized
for service under Commodore Perry, but whcl
was never actively employed, because peac
was declared before it was ready. He wa
commissioned Captain in 1926. For mum
Der of years after that he was actively EN-
ployed, and at one time he commanded tn
squadron on the coast of Africa. His tota
sea service has been about twenty four years
In 1866 he was put upon the Reserved List
In 1851 he was appointed Governor of tn
Naval Asylum. On the 3Oth of last month, h
was selected by the President, under new ac
of Congress, from "among those Captain
who have rendered the most faithful service /
the country" for the rank of Rear Admra
on the Reserved List, his name being next t
that of the veteran Stewart He lived to enjo
his new honor only twenty.three days.
