No MoRE OF THAT.--The Richmond Wig
nominates General Jubal A. Early for Governor
of Virginia, and asks the ladies of the State to
appeal to the gentlemen to elect him to that
position. We think the Wing, well its
hero, needs reconstruction. 1t forgets that Vir-
ginia never again become a State in this I'm
ion until all such rebel Generals Early shall
have been cast out of the political ship. Jubal
would act wisely in taking a back seat for the
present, like Price, Lee, johnson, Beauregard,
and Foster have done, and the Wing would show
good sense in letting him remain in it. Having
opened the game themselves, played high, and
lost all, they cannot come back with good face
AMI demand the winning from the victors. When
ever they do So General Grant, Shei dan and
Sherman will get after them again But what
ever may he conceded to other rebel Generals, it
is hard see how Virginia is in debt to Early,
who a victory, and under whose COM
mand Virginia lost more of her sons than under
anv other Hood might have some claims on
Georgia in whose defence he was shot all to
pieces even if he did lose battles but Early
lost all and came or unscratched in person. The
Virgjuians would show much better sense IN

The Medical Faculty in England are at present
discussing the subject of heat as remedial agent
in disease. A Mr.. Urguhart, who has travelled
extensively in the East, and given much attention
to the Turkish Bath, has introduced il to the
British public for two-fod purpose first, as an
effectual means Of cleanliness and secondly as
curative agent in sickness Its marvellous effects
in some notorious cases OF protracted suffering
excited the attention of certain distinguished
physicians, when it was resolved to invite Mr.
Urquhart to attend a meeting of Medical So
cety, where the members would be prepared to
discuss the merits Of the Bath. Accordingly he
met between thirty and forty medical and other
professional gentlemen, when the subject was
fully and lengthily discussed, Mr.. u maintaining
his position with singular ability, and exhibiting
an astonishing intimacy with the history of the
Bath in all ages and also Of its effects on the hui
man system. So far the instruction impaired by
Mr.. Urquhart has been gratefully received and
duly acknowledged. Sir John Fife, M. D., F. r

THOMAS KINDER, Esq, President Of Dela-
acare Association:
DEAR SIR As the time Is approaching when
our schools arc to be closed for the summer W.
cation and us many of our friends are DESTROYS to
know what has thus far been done by this Assocl-
alton, toward accomplishing the work which was
undertaken about six months ago, submit here
with statement of the facts which will serve to
show that we have made reasonably good progress
and that prospects in the future are quite en-
couraging.
On February list we had but one school In oper-
alton in Wilmington and none in any other part
of the State
February I'd arrangements were made to open
school In Dover, and on February llth a teach
or was sent there and the school starred, which
like oil the Others now In operation has been quite
successful.
In March no new schools were opened but the
way was prepared for several, and accordingly
sir were opened In April, WHAT Seaford, Smyr-
M, Odessa, Christiana and Milford, and school
No. 2 in Wilmington.
Georgetown, New Castle, and Milton.
In June schools were opened at Newark and
Delaware City making together up to this time
fourteen (14) schools under our care all now in
successful operation. Counting the two schools
of the African School Society now about to be
| transferred to us, and those at Camden and New
port oil WDlcn we expect 10 Jake charge III Sep-
tcmber, there are eighteen Qs) schools looking to
this Association for fostering care and protection.
The average number Of pupils enrolled in each
school is about AZ and the whole number is about
| $50. IL is believed that there will be in these
schools during the Autumn and Winter months
Gncluding night scssions) from 1000 to 1900 pu-
| pills.
The cost of each school, per annum, inclusive
of all expenses is estimated ut nearly 1900, Of
which the colored people are expected to pay
considerably over one third, d G. the board the
i teacher.
The eagerness of the colored children (and o.
| many of the adults of both sexes) to learn is re
markable, If we consider the fact that they have
been heretofore deprived Of the opportunity, ant
| had by reason of their circumstances acquired
habits of Incidence and Indifference.
| Respectfully submitted

be here noted that the Freedmen's Bureau, througl
the kindness and agency Of Maj. Gen. L. NJ Gre
CORY, has furnished lumber for school houses il
ten places under the care of this Association
and that five of them are already approaching
completion, whilst the remainder are likely to b.
ready for use by September when our school

In OUR ESTIMATION, the heroes of the war
against the rebellion must always have the
love, the gratitude and the respect of the
American people. If so, we want to know
how many stand higher than Philip Fl.
Sheridan, the hero Of the Shenandoah VAL
ley. There is nothing that can shake our
confidence in his patriotism, except the
plainest indications of treachery to his coun-
try's great principles. Any sign of such
faithlessness he has not shown. On the
contrary we have not the slightest reason to
question his patriotism, and Ills prudence
and discretion are as yet equally unimpeach.

THE PENNSYLVANIA PLATFORM

al u I-ENfcL 1f atsAA -<<@ = S~'r-' 4
The platform of the Pennsylvania Repub-
licans, adopted at their State Convention, is
clear, bold, comprehensive and patriotic, ii
we may note q single exception. Its posi-
tons on several most vitality important
points are in marked contrast with the plat
form adopted by the recent Convention OF
the Democracy. Especially in this noticea-
BILE on the question of the Free Railroad
Law. Although Mr.. Clymer, and the press
which supported him, in his canvass Tor
Governor, last Fall, professed their desire
for the passage of such an Act, and pre-
tended to be better friends Of the measure
than the Republicans, their late resolutions
contain not word referring to the subject
They have studiously avoided taking ground
formally, either for or against the measure
The resolutions of the Republicans, pre-
scented by the gallant and patriotic Clerk to
Congress, Hon. Edward MCPHERSON, of
Adams county, are twelve in number.
They demand security, by sufficient guar
antees from future treason; pronounce An
drew Johnson's Administration faithless to
the great principles which the war settled;
endorse Congress; condemn the Johnson
Stanberry effort to impede and prevent Re-
construction; disapprove the wholesale par
dons of the President endorse the necessi-
| ty of protecting American laborers; COM
plimcnt Governor Geary express gratitude
to the soldiers and sailors and demand that
the bounty ordered by Congress but with
held by McCulloch shall be promptly paid
and finally present Hon. Fl. w. Williams,
the candidate for Judge, as an able lawyer,
impartial, prompt, and thorough Judge, and
a loyal man.
The third resolution is as follows:--
"That in the completion of the task Of
reconstruction SO firm as to be perpetual, ii
is indispensable that traitors beaten in the
field shall not find sanctuary in the courts
that the laws shall not be tortured to justify
or palliate the crimes of which the country's
enemies have been guilty, and that the law
of war shall be so distinctly declared by the
courts that no disturbing and paralyzing
doubts may ever be raised, as in 1861, re-
specting the essential rights of the govern
ment or personal duties of citizens.
The ninth is thus ~ '4n'sl ~ q ilsi7el
tsThat in conformity with the pledges
given last Fall by both candidates for Gov
ernor, we now demand the enactment of q
free railroad law, by which the enterprises
Of our people may be stimulated and the re

GENERAL GRANTS NAME UP.


General Grant having, in manner as
nearly official as was becoming for the
occupant of his high official station, placed
himself on a most earnest, sound, and accep
table Radical platform, we have expressed
our preference for him, for the highest posi-
ton in the gift Of the people. We do this
from several considerations, Of which the
first is our sense Of gratitude to the courage
and patriotism of the men who saved the
Republic While it is evident that they are
enthroned high in popular affection, and that
the voice Of great majority Of our people
will always be raised in praise of their ac-
tions, and the necessity of rewarding them,
it would be none the less the duty Of the
great party which loves the Republic and
has so faithfully supported it, to honor the
soldiers and make its best exertions in their
behalf, if their friends were in ever so small
a minority. Our duty is to the soldiers i;
we have not discharged it; tits doubtful
whether we ever can discharge it. But let
lis lose no opportunity in such behalf.
To elect General Grant President is to Gel
citrate the triumph of Unity over Disintegra-
ton; of Loyalty over Treason; of Freedom
over Slavery; of the Republican Theory
over Oligarchical Tendencies; Of Recon
struction over Contamination. There wer'
but two sides to the war question, ant
Grants victories decidedit on the right side
so far as the contest was waged in the field
The same line of demarcation has been drawn
directly forward since the war. Substanti
ally the same conclusions which were estab
lished by the war still require assertion an
maintenance, and when ULYSSES s. GRANT
Chief of the Armies of the Republic, take
his seat, by the choice Of the American pei
pie, in their Presidential chair, the America
Flag is up and the Rebel flag down foreve
Enemies to the Republic, like Davis an
Lee, and impediments to its progress liB
johnson, take the very lowest ''back seats
in popular estimation and Treason is indee
''made odious."
We nominate General Grant upon IL
Rawlins platform. We believe he stant
upon it. We have no reason not TO thin
80. AS we trusted him when he fought III
der the old flag, we will trust him now aft
he has proved Its best defender.

THE REPUBLICAN, PRESS OF
Ser ARYLAND. @yaI

SIR MARYLAND. is
The earnest, unfinching radicalism of the
Republican country newspapers Of Maryland
is highly satisfactory to all true friends of
universal freedom, and might be initiated
with benefit by many papers published
further north. 4tq f 'stis 5g Il
The whole Republican press of the Eastern
Shore had, long before the Convention at
Baltimore, unfurled the banner Of universal
suffrage and espoused the cause Of the down
trodden blacks with courage and unanimity
truly remarkable and it deals most telling
blows it contents itself with no simple as
sertion of general principles, but demands
the application of those principles to the
government of the State by the unrestricted
admission of the excluded class to q full
participation iasegery part Of the Govern
ment and not only this. but il faithfully,
brings to light every Ease o. lsw,ess OUTRAGE,
on colored people, and visits the rowdIea
making such attacks, and the officers failing
to bring them to justice, with the most
scathing rebukes. 81
To its pro-slavery Democratic opponen.s
1t shows no quarter, but assails them with
every weapon in the armory of party poll
tics, too frequently we regret to say, fighting
them with their own weapons, meeting yitu-
peration with vituperation, and abuse with
abuse. Still, when we consider the nature
of the abuse layished upon the Republican
press by its opponents, we do not wonder
that our radical neighbors frequently lose
patience.
Those who do not understand the state of
society and political feeling existing on this
Peninsula, can hardly appreciate the won.
derful courage and devotion to principle
displayed by the Republican editors o
Maryland.
The reign of mob law there has not ye
entirely ceased, the authorities offer no re
dress against the outrages of rebel mob
sympathy with the "lost cause" is consid
cred badge of responsibility, and Radical
ism works social ostracism from all ths
calls itself the "best society,"" To advocat
radical principles there, not merely cause
the finger of scorn to be pointed at ma
and takes from him the patronage Of IL
most powerful portion Of the communit
but it actually endangers life, person al
property.
To be loyalist in Eastern Marylar
means something, and to edit loyal, al
not only loyal but thorough radical p
per there, requires courage of the highe
order, and the man must needs be somethii
of hero who dare attempt it.
