spccuIntin. on Gen. Lee.
The Richmond Times SAYS:


No one is more kecnly alive to the
pecuniary value of great man than
the keeper Of Northern Watering
place. These places Of fashionable
resort are SO numerous and the com
petition between them is so fierce,
that tho scramble after the patronage
Of men OF celebrity amounts to q
rough-roll-and-tumble pursuit. We
had occasion sometime since to
notice the pcrtinacity With Which
watering-place Bonifaces were chas-
ing Gen. Graut. One OF them has
had the Impotence to seek the pa
tronage Of Gen. Robert j. Lee, and
has written him Il very sincere and
pressing invitation to visit his
springs at West Baden, in Illinois,
and to stay there rs long as he
chooses without charge or cost! The
General, who is very much bored by
Il multitude oi people WHO want to
set his autograph, finds time to
answer the letter, briefly but conr-
teously, and declines the invitation,
It's his duties at Lexington require his
presence near that place
What u bright idea it was in this
fellow thus to attempt magnificent
speculation upon Gen. Lee! Ii he
could have secured the attendance of
the great Confederate chicftain at
his springs, the whole North west
would have flocied there, and hoo
sicrs without number would have
crowded around the Southern hero,
and gazed at him as if &c had been
"What is It?" or the livins skeleton
This is not the only Northern man
who has had Il proper appreciation OF
the amount Of money represented by
Gen. Lee. He is constantly be
sicgcd by photograph men and por-
trait painters. The publishing
houses in the large Northern cities
have made him the most tempting
offers for the history of his cam
paigns, which, it is said, he is pre-
pairing. Gen. Lee is too profound a
strategist to be deceived by any of
these chaps, who regard him as a
miac OF gold to be successfully
worked by some fortunate individual.
He can only be seen at Virginia
watering places, and whenever lie
prints his book, it is shrewdly sus-
pccted that hc will know who are the
proper men to publish it.

Tuesday Morning, July 81. 1886.
protecting "Loyali.ts.''


The attention Of the people should
be calied to bill introduced, some
eight or ten days ago, into the United
States Senate, by d Senator Poland,
from Vermont It is styled, a bill to
prevent courts from being used as in
81 sruments of persecution against
loyal persons-ve presume IN the
1 Southern States.
The bill provides that, in any action
of tort to person or property done.
between April 13, 1861, and July 1,
1855, it shall be lawful to plead or
give in evidence in bar of said action:
j. That at the time when the
wrong was, committed the plaintiff
was disloyal to the Government OF
the United States:
- q. That the. plaintiff was engaged
in insurrection- and rebellion against
the United States. =.
s. That the plaintiff aided and,
comforted and sympathised with che
rebels and insurgents against the Go
vernment Of the United States.
: 4. That the plaintiff applied for
and obtained pardon from tho Presi-
: dent, relieving him of the penalties Of
treason.
The establishment of either point
shall be good defence.
We have not noticed whether the
Judiciary Committee LAS reported
the bill, but the faction having such
clean working majority, we pre-
sumo that it has passed. BY its terms
it will be seen that no matter what
spoiation, robbery or crime may
have been committed against those
who 'espoused the cause of the Con
federacy, the perpetrators will be
permitted to 60 scot-free, and will
never be called on to make restitution
for property stolen or destroyed, aud
will not be punished for any act in
the whole category of crime, from
murder to petit larceny.
This is making treason odious'
with vengeance; but the whole Ame-
rican people should be aroused to the
iniquity of such Legislation, and stop
itby casting aside its authors, or ere
long they will find themselves living
under q Government of oppression.
Should the radicals have passed such
an Act, we feel assured that it did not
receive the approval of President
johnson.

The States and the People.

We rejoice especially in the pros
pect of the assembling of the Phila-
delphia Convention, because that
body must take issue with radicalism
upon the great question of the day,
viz: The right of the Southern
States to equality with all the States
under the Constitution, and the addi-
tional question which grows out of
this-the rights of the people of th@
States as constituting the States.
That Convention, to be against
radicalism, must assume, with Judge
Curtis, that the States were entitled
to their equal rights the moment the
war was ut an end; and they must
take the further position that the
people of the States, being the bodies
polite, must attain to their rights
without distinction or restriction
different from what may be imposed
on the people of all the States. They
must do Ill this, and they must de-
nounce test oaths as unconstitutional
and tyrannicaL Nothing short of
this will separate them from radical
ism, with it's odions doctrines and its
expressions.
We have never doubted, for mo-
ment, that the course of it's pro-
ceedings would inevitably terminate
in this broad and clearly defined diff
ference. The logic of events must
lead them to this. If this be not the
result, what is the use of Conven-
ton? What is the use of disputing
at all with radicalism? If the test
oath be proper and Constitutional,
why, in Gods name, let the radicals
continue in power? That is the very
cornerstone of radicalism. It is the
barrier that excludes from Office and.
power all but radicals. It is the top
root of radicalism. The Convention
must reject it, or they will be nothing
more nor less than radical assem-
blage.
We have no fear that the members
Of the Philadelphia Convention will
not pnt an impossible gulf between
themselves and the radical party.
We have no fear that they Will not
decide that the moment the war
ended the States were entitled to
equality under the Constitution, and
that the people of the States were
necessarily included, without distinc-
ton, in their full and unrestricted
immunitics and rights, equal witty
the people of all the States. No
other doctrine is Constitutional-no
other policy of restoration is practi-
cable. The punishments and disa-
bilitics OF radicalism are but prolong-
ing the war, widening the sectional
breach, and rendering the disruption
and ruin of the Republic inevitable.

\ New ORLEANS REMEDY FOR ST.

\ New ORLEANS REMEDY FOR Sun
STROKE. An old resident of New
Orleans says that the common treat
ment for eases of sun-stroke in that
city IS to take a junk or porter bot
tie. fill it with water, properly
corked, and lay it whore it will be
exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
When the water becomes quite warm,
take the cork from the bottle and
place it on the top of the patient S
head in an inverted position, and
allow tho water to gradually run ont
and drip over the head. One bottle
full thus applied, he states, is almost
certain to restore the patient.

The Cable Laid.

s. The telegraph announces lthatsthe
great achievement of the eighteenth
centurysbas been completed, andt
instant communication between Alne-
RIGA and Ireland was had ON the 9th
inst. The completion of this great
work is one of the grandest successes
of science and skill that the world has
ever seen. Whether it will be thing
of permanence, remains to be seen,
but the mere fact of successfully lay
ing the wire is one of the brightest
evidences Of tho triumph of indomi-
table energy and perseverance, The
successful working of this monster
line will revolutionize commercial
operations in al the great emporiums
of trade in this country, while it will
undoubtedly strengthen the ties OF
friendship and amity between the
coun tries thus connected.

More Relief. =
: The noble womenyof St. Louis, fol-
lowing the example Of their generous
sisters of Baltimore, have organized
an association for the purpose Of -cx-
tending relief to the widows and
orphans throughout. the Southern

BY ell Confederate prisoners Who
were confined at Alton, Illinois.
There she was their n1inistering
angel, chcered them in their eoufine-
ment, provided delicacies for the
sick, and clothed the naked. Her
kind words and ceaseless charity are
embalmed in the hearts Of many poor
soldiers.
The address put forth by this lady
and her associates to the people of
Missouri is very touching They
urge organization and cooperation in
every County in the State. and state
that great encouragement has been
given by the gentlemen of Missouri
to their enterprise, committees Of
whom viii act in concert with the
ladies, giving special attenon to busi-
ness requiring special exertiop.
The purpose is to llold grand
bazaar during tho last week in Sep
tenber. The fair VIII be held Mt the
st. Louis Agricultural Fair Grounds,
the handsomest in the United States.
During the progress Of tho bazaar,
there will be q grand tournament, and

occasion. God bless the women OF

Now AND THES. The Richmond
dispatch thus notices the antics Of
the present Congress:
The Presidents message on the
Tennessee question was received with
derisive laughter by the radicals and
cheers by the Democrats SO say
the congressional reporters The
scene was feature of the times.
Snch Il one was impossible in the
Congress of other days. When that
body consisteuof honest, sincere, and
digniticd patriots, Il dccorum worthy
OF tho representatives OF 4 great con
federation of States WAS Invariably
observed IN all its proceedings
and ;!il It's acts. \ change has
come over the aSsemblagc-a
change wrought by an entire diff
ferent class OF men, elected by IL
dclnlcl constituency, whose minds
have been poisoned with false rhilo-
sophy and embittered by the sectional
agitation Of fanatical and venal
orators. The result is that selfish
iIl-bre,l, violent, and corrupt men, fill
the public places The dignity and
dcrorum Of the legislators have gone
with the honesty. integrity, and
devotion TO the public good which
marked their history in The early days
of the republic. 1t is impossible that
a Government where such men remain
long in the ascendant can have peace
and order. 1t takes no philosopher
to know that stability and endurance
are utterly incompatible with such a
state of the representative character
i'll a repnblic. The only hope is in
reforming it.
