The Philadelphia BEHetin says of one Of
the scenes in the Convention
''The band was ordered to play the rebel
tune Of Dixie and General Custer led a
round Of cheers in honor Of this infamous
performance. The luster ofthat young Off
GERS stars is forever dimmed and disgraced
by this foolish act"
Have you forgotten that Mr.. Lincoln call
ed upon . band 10 pla- 'Dixie7 in front of
the White House, on his return from Rich
mond, just before ne was assassinated, a v
ing that it was q tune that we had appro-
priatedl It belongs to us now with all the
rest Of the tunes-GEcisnati Commercial.
Thai was a sensible old deacon who re-
buked the puritanisn Of those Of his breth-
ren that objected to the choir in church sing
ing q psalm setto a tune that sometimes was
played for dancing, by saying he was op-
posed TO letting the devil nave a monopoly
Of al the good tunes. On the same princi-
pie We object to letting the rebels haye all
the good tunes. @Dixie" was q ~favorite tune
before the war, and if the rebels stole it from
us, at the same time they stole much other
property, let Us reclaim 1t, and again en-
JOY it, Cleveland Herald.
All this doesn't touch the question.
Dixie" may be a very good tune and may
be played without ofEense. But when it
was played in the Philadelphia Conven-
ton it was played because it was a rebel
tune, and when it was cheered it was
eheered because it was a rebel tune. There
is the disgraceful festure Of the proceed
ing. 1t was all of a piece with the Mas
sachusetts-anG-Sout Carolina-arm-in-arm
business. But one thing vas needed to
complete the blasphemy-theex exhibition of
Lincoln's coffin draped with the rebel
Gag.

The Republican canvass of the state is
progressing handsomely. We have al

The Herald is put to its wits end by the
revelation of the talk between the Cleve-
land delegates and Secretary Browning
made i nthe LEADER of Saturday morning,
and calls in all It's resources of insinuation
and falsehood to throw discredit upon =
statement which it dares not directly deny.
1t assumes that that statement was not
based upon the testimony Of Cleveland
delegates, ana ruen heaalse We
did not obtain that testimony. 1t assume
that our witness was a eertsin gentleman

then declares that that gentleman was not
These assumptions are g fair
specimen of the Herald argument. In
answer to them, all we have to say is that
our recital of facts is based on the best of
authority. If it be false the Herald can
EASILY disprove it. It knows that it can
not do so; it knows that our statement is

"Mr. Ysllandigham made a crest mis-
take at Philadelphia, the other day, when
be said that while he represented 1900

Campbell only represented 500 renegade
Republicans. Mr.. Campbell does not repre-
sent. nor are there to be found j n the Third
District fifty renegade Republicans who

say there are not twenty Of the class above

We are obliged to the Herald for pub
fishing the statement Of the conversation
of the Cleveland delegates with Secretary
Browning at the Continental Hotel in
Philadelphia, which we printed in the
Leader Of Saturday. Its readers viii now
understand what reason the county CON
vention had for calling on Mr.. Spaldingto
define his position, and the necessity
which rests upon him, if he be opposed to
President johnson, to say so. Either Mr..
Browning is much mistaken in his esti-
innate of Judge spalding, or many of that
gentleman's radical constituents are. 1t
remains for him to cay who are tight and
who are wrong.

Forrest Endorses the Philadelphia
E-0nUanafnn

Forrest Endorses the Philadelphia
Convention
General n. B. Forrest, the rebel
guerrilla, whose troops, under his direc-
ton, perpetrated the horrible massacre at
Fort Pillow, and whose existence at large,
un-arrested and untried, is an insult to all
loyal men and a disgrace TO the President
who once promised to make treason odious,
endorses the Philadelphia Convention. OF
course he doesl he was represented in it
by Southern rebels as malignant and bru-
tai as himself, and BY their servile tools
the Northern Coppsrheads and bread-and-
butter men. Of course Forrest endorses
the Philadelphia Convention. Quantrell
and Mosby, Lee and Beauregard, Davis
and Breckenridge, also endorse it; and,
doubtless, if the ghost of Champ Fergu-
son, Wirz, and Wilkes Booth were permit
ted to return to earth, those three master
spirits of the /" late strife between breth-
rem" would be found among the most en-
thusiastic admirers and earnest support
ers of that convention.

The Herald is getting a little '
At first it advised Judge Spalding not to
notice the questions in regard to his posi-
ton put to him by the Union County
Convention and reiterated by the LEADER
Now, seeing that the people are too much
in earnest to be bluffed in this way, it ar
CUES that Mr.. Spalding is Somewhere in
New England" and that he cannot hear
or answer thequestions put to him. The
picture ofrural retirement and quiet sug-
gested by this indefinite phrase is really
striking. We imagine u learned Rep
resentative reclining
sin some ssquestered nook
OF beechen green and shadows numberless,'
far from such modern and t%ormenting in
ventions as mails and telegrsphs, forget
full that there Is such thing as "my poll
ey7 in the land, and blissfully ignorant Of
the questions of constituents, and the
course of pretended friends. Happy Ar
cadianl But Judge pslding ought to know
that in his absence his enemies are damsg-
ing his fair fame. Mr.. Secretary Brown
ing says he is for johnson, and his former
friends, Col. Senter, Thomas Jones, jr.
John G. Grannis and others have cruelty
given q show of foundation to the asser-
by going over to johnson themselves. 1t
is even said that Mr.. Spslding went
direct from Washington to some
where in New England" instead
of coming home, in order to avoid just
sueh imnertinsnt questions as the county
convention has asFsu-vsLSA. and soma Of
his slanderers sllege that he means to stay
somewhere in New England" until very
near e~lection-time, for the same purpose.
We warn Mr.. Spalding that these SIAN
ders will gain strength every day that he
keeps his lips closed, and we advise him
to break his silence at once and put them
forever to rest by an u~nequivocal declara-
ton of hostility to the policy of Andrew
johnson. We also strenuously urge the
editor of the Herald, as Mr.. Spalding's
friend, to seek out, if possible, that gentle
mans whereabouts, and if the rural shades
in which he is lucubratingbe accessible by
telegraph or mail, to let him know at once
what Mr.. Secretary Browning says, and
what the county convention asks.

.nessrs. Editor Of the Free Press:
Your ..ilus;ou TO our Academy building
and grounds, las; evening, gives me the oppOr-
tunity Of again calling the attention Of our citi-
zens to the condition Of our public schools. 1t
is true. as you say, that We are far behind many
of the neighboring villages in matters Of public
education. And one Of the encouraging aspects
of the case is, that We have now fully reached
point where our self-respect as a community,
not TO say our sense Of shame, forces US to be
stir ourselves But while We vii not refuse the
aid Of this force from Jetiai, where it may be
necessary, let us come 10 the important work
before US actuated rather by intelligent oonvic-
tons oc our duty and our interest as citizens Of
this now growing and enterprising city. 1t is
plain that some action will be taken on this sub
Ject rcry soon; it is Of the highest consequence
that such action be judieious, intelligent, time
ly-the result Of careful deliberation, and Of a
well matured plan. 1t may not be amiss to say
that few of the friends Of education in this
place have had this matter under celebration
for some months; that they have endeayored to
inform themselves of the actual condition Of our
schools; Of the requirements Of our population;
Of the character of the school system in success
full operation in similar places; and Of the most
feasible methods Of introducing the desired
changes among US. The results Of these DELHI
eratiOns will probably be presented to the pub
lie at no distant day in the form Of definite plan
proposed to their good Judgment for accomplish
ing the end in view. Meanwhile, let II be IN
ders;ood, that II is no clique or party that have
taken this matter in hand, but that We invite
suggestions from all who are interested in this
important question, important to the general
prosperity Of our city, IS well as to the interests
OF education. There is no good reason why Bur-
lingion should not take a foremost rank among
the cities Of New England for the excellence and
completeness Of its educational facilities, In
deed it has, ospecillly at the present time, so
many advantages for attaining prominence in
this rcsIoct, dat we shall be sadly lacking in
selEarrr,cation. to say nothing Of public spirit,
if We DO act avail ourselves Of the means now
within cur reach to make Burlington as con-
spicucus for its Schools and Colleges, its intelIi-
gence and culture, as lor its natural beauty.

cattle stampede which occurred lately at the
large cattle fair of lie Blanc just as bust
ness was at its height, sudden panic seized
the oxen brought there for sale, which, to
the numbcr Of more than 1900, set of at
furious speed in every direction, overthrow
ing everything in their way. At last they
came to q wall and hedge inclosing field,
both OF which were borne down by the
shock, and the animals escaped into the
country around. As the ground on the out
side Of the fence was about four feet lower
than on the inside, the oxen fell on each
other. carrying with them seven or eight
persons who happened to be near the spot.
At the foot Of the wall two men were found
crushed to death. and four others
severely injured. Two oxen were killed.
Seventeen prisons received less serious hurt
by being thrown down and trampled on.
