PROTECTION PAPERs.-The editor of the Ga
settle has certainly COMPOUNDED Governor Riddle
with Senator Riddle. II must have been the
Locofoco Senator who had protection pNpers'
from JEFF. Davis, as he visited his farm in Vir-
GINA several times during the rebellion, and
Beverly Tucker in writing to Hunter Il Co.,
styled him their friend
The charge that Mr.. James Riddle had re-
ceived rebel protection from Jef Davis during
the war is so monstrously absurd and so clearly
bears on its face the evidence of the mslgnity
of its authors and retailers, that It scarcely
needs contradiction, We are, however, au-
thorized to declare it entirely false.
1t is pitiable to see men descend so low, ee-
peeially when the ialsehood is so apparent
Had the charge been made against any one who
could secure the influence of " our friend Sen.
ator Riddle" at headquarters, it might hav,
seemed probable, but against any oue who wa
not a tavorise with Bayard, johnson, Sa1ls
bury, nor any of the leading confederate au-
thorities in Delaware, 1t is exceedingly absurd

Mr.. 4. WILsEY, ofthis place, has been vis-
iting his friends at Memphis, Missouri. Mr..
Wilsey was sutler of the 2Ist Missouri in
fantry volunteers. The RereiHe that sees the
endorsable points in men and principles has
this to say Of Mr.. w:
Mr.. Wilsey was not one of your fair wealth
er suffers who laid back while his command
was on the march, leaving his boys TO shift
for themselves, and as soon as they came into
camp in safe place, rush mp with load Of
worthless "liddle dings'' to skin them with
fabulous prices-but through storm and sun
shine winter and summer. on the march and
in camp, he was always with them, and al
ways supplied with a stock Of useful articles
he knew the soldiers would need, and which
they could always get with or without money.
None but soldier, who has been fiat broke
and half naked for twelve to eighteen months
can appreciate such favors at their true value.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars worth
OF goods were advanced by Mr.. Wilsey in
this manner, taking only soldiers word for
its payment; large per cent of which was
lost entirely by the casualties Of the service,
and much of which in the final winding up
he is collecting at SO per cent. discount. Mr.
Wilsey is a whole-soul, clever gentleman, and
will be remembered with gratitude and re-
spect by the boys Of the 2iat, and host Of
other friends

client be admitted to bail: Judge Underwood
will not feel authorized to grant the request.
II also says a loyal jury cannot be collected

WISELY SPOKEN.

The New York Tribune lays down a rule O,
action for all the members of the Republican
party in this modest statement of its own
policy and intentions. 1t SAYS:
''We do not say to our political friends.
ADOPT our programme. or we will oppose
YOU! We shall do nothing of the sort We
propose to abide in the act with that great
patriotic party which so nobly carried our
country through the trials and perils of our
late civil war We offer our suggestion as a
member ofthat party; we shall be right glad
TO see it adopted bnt if it is not, we shall
still 60 with the Union party, believing that
we can thus do more good than by breaking
81 from It and setting up in opposition to it.
hateFer plan of reconstruction shall ulti-
mately be agreed on by the great body of the
Unionists in Congress, that we shall do onr
best to have accepted. But we shall like it
inc better the nearer It comes to embodving
fully aud only the two principles of universal
amnesty-mpartal suffrage
The Republican party is progressive.
While instinct with the spirit in which it was
formed, the current of events has opened the
way before 1t, and it has advanced the stan.
GARD Of freedom far beyond the boundaries
It set up in 1856. Now that the war has
ceased and slavery been overthrown, the
plane ofpolitical action is not well defined.
FOR months has Congress, the representative
ofthe Republican party. hAo-
- - engaged in
elsing 10 mould a just and satisfactory policy
reconstruction. The Republican Senate
has not been able TO adopt the measure Of
the Republican House. There is no differ
ence on principle at all. 1t does not affect
the unity or harmony of the party. Il merely
illustrates the difficulty of the political situa-
ton. The party that administered the Gov
ernment during the great struggle should
adjust its policy in establishing peace Har-
mony must be maintained No shade of party
opinion should assume dictatorial domina-
ton. In the spirit of Union, Patriotism,
Liberty, Justice and firmness for the right,
temperate views and moderation should be-
come principle, controlling the policy of
Republicans.

THERE was wedding anniversary at Des
Moines Saturday. The unfortunate male
party to the memorable event is not unknown
to our readers. Diron says of him:
We saw a man yesterday who was cele
bratlng the anniversary of his wedding day
Three of his front teeth were out and SO were
his elbows. There were no gIimpses Of bis:
IN his decayed features. His beard was
white with the frosts of adversely. His ap
pearance was such as man might be sup
posed to have who has eaten brick bat "a,
breakfast, and has been ridden by nightmare,
all day. We had notion to pre- -empt him
and sell him for village grave ward. He
celebrates his wedding day as the Frence eel
ebrate Waterloo, or as the rebels celebrate
the surrender of Lee, or as the Fenians cele
brate the union of Ireland with the British
Lion. His name is Dobbs.

THE New York Tribune gives an account
of remarkable case of wholesale poisoning
in Orange county, New York. A very popular
miller, doing heavy business, caused one of
the stones in his mill which had become worn

harm was in his thoughts, and the large sale
and consumption Of his -four continued.
Shortly q terrible disease broke out in his
community. Whole families were stricken

symptoms to be lead poison, and traced the
evil to its source Future harm was thereby
prevented, but the poison found upon exam

over three hundred persons thus poisoned, is
given, many cf whom cannot possibly re-
