Robert Harper, first proprietor of Har-
pers Ferry, died at his house on Shenandoah
street, in October, 1882. and was buried in
the graveyard on the hill, by the side of his
wife. His grave was formerly marked by
two cherry trees, but they have been de-
stroyed. Robert Harper, after his death,
left by will, his property at this plaee to the
eldest son of his neice Sarah. He-John
Wager, Sr., was also heir by the law of pri-
mOgeniture, then still in force in Virginia.
Robert Harper was man of education, with
a taste for geology and chemistry, and had a
galvanic battery. which was a source of won

of treason, 1867 will surely be marked on the
same page as the year of ounces. Treason,
no doubt, fourishes to-day in Washington,
but incOmpetency is the dominant charac>
teristic which disgusts this nation and amuses
the world. If the real Government is sshown
at Washington, then is it demonstrated that
democracy is failure. A head of the State
who would long ago have wrecked it had not
Heaven graciously provided that he should
be even weaker than he was wicked; Con-
gress-fit body to fit head-ruled by a con-
servatism which mOdestly assumes to repre-
sent the calm wisdom ofthe nation, and smiles,
MalvOlio like, on its critics as sentimentalists
The result of this wisdom, code which, worse
than the old sarcasm, not only lets the big
villains through, but cannot even catch the
small ones.
What can we expect of practical common
sense from Senate which follows Fessenden
as a leader a man of whom it may be truly
said that the nation has taken no one impor-
tant and critical step since 1861 which his
influence or vote did not resist until popular
good sense shamed him out of his folly or
marched to its purpose over his opposition.
Yes, Mr.. Fessenden's senatorial record is
record Of fruitless opposition to every mea-
sure on which the nation safety rests today.
liz Has never DSeu even Dy dcclueuI,
at the first presentation of any critical mea-
sure. He has either voted against it or been
felt against it, skulking behind his tools
Events have always proved him mistaken.
In this race he has never ''come to time"
His wisdom has always been what the French
call "the wisdom of the staircase" e"-coming
to appreciate matters one moment too late.
His craftsmanship consists in proposing
nothing and opposing everything" Yet half
the Senate allow him to do their thinking.
Edmunds is his tool, and Conkling his parrot.
And this mole had power enough, spite of
Stanton's and Grants aud Summers and
Stevens's entreatics, to leave the President
with the power of removing Sheridan and to
tie the hands of Congress till November!
The result we see. Congress tongue-tied
and handcuffed till November; obliged to
stand silent by and see johnson trample on
its laws. Loyalty hunted and trembling all
ever the South. A law so clumsily devised
that it cannot be executed without bringing
the great powers of government into collision.
y General selected and left in Washington
to represent and protect the nation, and found,
when the emergency occurs, not to know
enough to be fit to be left alone!
These be our practical men,, my masters
These are the fruits of Fessenden statesman
ship! Behold the wisdom of conservatism
Give us next time taste of the folly of rad
icaism-we cannot be worse off may be bet.
ter; at any rate, change would be relief
There are yet men SO timid and thought
less as to insist that those who vote shall first
know how to read. We commend another
provision to their uotice-namely. that gen.
erals, senators, and presidents shall be obliged
at least to say their catechism aud repeat the
multiplication table before assuming office.

General Grant.

The New York Herald more than year
ago insisted upon General Grant being can
didate for the Presidency. He did not de-
rive any strength from the recommendation,
but the Herald held on to him, until public
events were so shaped as to bring it within
range of probabilities. The Herald now
"goes back on him" in the following style:
The political position assumed by General
Grant shows our great soldier in a new light
1t is his his first development OF political
genius; his first and final political mistake.
The reply Of the President has completely
overturned him-Uutfanked him. Grant
does not understand the crisis lie clings to
Sheridan and iorgets principles. Grant has
given US one political essay; but he has given
US already too much. His only hope Of re-
trieving himself is to make public his private
letter to the removal Of Stanton. Since Grant
has thrown himself into the radical hands
there will be no difficulty in the nomination
Of Mr.. Chase for the Presidency 1t is now
necessary for the country to follow up Mr.
Chase's blunders, sink the country financial
ly as well as politically, aud commence rad
ical negro millennium.

One Of the saddest occurrences which Il had

yeloped in flames. \ servant who was rrc-
sent attempted to ektinguish the fire. bu.
without effect, aud the child in its aronv
rushed TO the yard, where its cries soon mr..
rested the attention of Mrs Blackstone
Seeing its condition, this lady, with the bravo
and unseliish instinct of mother. sought 10
put the fire out by enveloping the child with
her oTn clothing, but finding this of no avail
she sought the house with view of Obtain.
ing blanket to smother the flames. Before
she had proceeded many steps, she discovered
her own clothing to be on FIRE, and all other
efforts proving .unavailing, she threw herself
upon bed aud sought to smother the flames
by drawing the cover around her. But tbis
was without effect. The FIRE still progressed.
and soon the flames had done their work upon
both sufferers. We draw a veil over tbo
scene which met the eye of the husband and
father upon reaching his desolated home
Both wife and daughter were in erfyeD,is,-
Mrs. Blackstone survived but a few hours
and the child died during the afternoon of
the day following.
