Renne,, on General Lee.

But if the Democratic Convention
must nominate soldler-ifit must have
a name identified with the glories of
the war-we will recommend candi-
date for its faver. Let it nominate
General Robert Z. Lee. Let it boldly
take at once the best of all its soldiers,
making no palaver or apology. He is q
better soldier than any of those they
have thought upon and greater man.
He is one in whom the military genius
of this nation finds it's fullest develop
ments. Hero the inequality will be in
favor of the Democrats; for this soldier,
with handful of men whom he bad
moulded into an army, baffied our
greater northern armies for four years;
and when opposed By Grant was only
worn down by that solid strategy OF
stupidity that accomplishes its object
by mere weight
With cue quarter the men Grant had
this soldier fought him magrificently
across the territory of his native State,
and fou ght his army down to stump
There never was such an army, such q
campaign, or such General for illus
trating the military genius and posi-.
bilities of our people; and that General
is the best of oil tor q Democratic can
disate. 1t is certain that with half as
many men as Grant had he wonld have
beaten him from the field in Virginia
aud he affords the best promise of any
soldier for beating him again.-Neu

LOyalJ obbing.

Some time age 1t WAS announced li.at
"traly loyal Individuals had been lob
bling" with the wooden legs ordered by
Congress for soldiers and sailors MANNED
in the late war. This action was de-
nounced as infamous by right-miuded
men of all parties. Now, however, a
similar movement has b!en inaugurated
in the National House of Representa-.
tives. On the 22d ult., "a resolution
was adopted ordering that tho proceed
ings of the different cities, towns and
villages in relation to the decoration
of the graves of those who fell in the
rebellion struggle shall be collected
AID bound under the direction of such
person as the Speaker shall designate,
for the use of Congress. UHder this
resolution, Speaker Colfax has appoint
cd Mr.. Frank Moore, editor of the Re
bellioR Record, to supervise the pubiica-
ton. This movement is nothing but a
Job" part Political and part pecunisrv;
In the first place, the worE :, i";ended
for olooti 'norring purposes. 1t will be
sent to all parts of the country under
the franks of the Radical members If
Congress. In the next place, it will
take from the already depleted Treasu-
ry of the nation from fifty to one hnn-
dred Thousand dollars, and put it in the
purses of few 'jobbcrs." who are
willing to deal in anything from
"wooden legs" to monumental mem
oirs," if money can be made by the OPP
Grafton. As We might the Iasons or
Odd Fellows ask Congress TO pay fer
the collection of tleir yearly action on
any particular subject. The sery ices over
the graves of the gallant dead were
eminently proper. They indicate a pro.

those who sleep beneath the sod But

which will turn the holiast feelings of
the human heart into merchandise. or
aids of a political characterf The
Radicals speculated in wooden legs"
when they we're profitable, and now,
in order to elect General Grant, and, at
the same time pay political frecbooters
for past and prospective services, they
are insulting the patriotic sentiment Of
the nation in the most open and often
sive manner. loyal jobbing," like
the hyena, is willing TO draw its food
from the graves Of dead men.

Railroad Progress.

Some idea of the PROGRESS going on in
this country may be Lad by glancing at
the development of our railroad system.
On the 4th of July, 1888, the work on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
commenced This was the first railroad
ever built in this country-such 4 thing
not being ia existence and little thought
of forty years ago. Yet ut the close OF
the year 1867, there were 1924 miles
of railroad in operation in this country,
costing about Sal 900 per mile, oman
aggregate of 81 900 ,OOO, 900, and moving
annually Is, ,5G5, 900 tons of merchandise,
worth s. ,272 POO, 900. The cost of NOV
ing this was /! cents ton per mile, Or
Sli1, ,OOO, 200. At least GOO miles of rail-
road have been built during the cHrrent
wear.

The Providence Press says that late
one evening recently, a lad aged about
seventeen years called upon Captain
Hazard, the Oversser of the Poor, OF
Newport, Rhode Island, and said that
he (the youngster) had just got mar.
ried in Massachusetts, and with his
bride, was on wedding tour, intend
ing to 60 to New York, where the latter
had some friends, but most unfortu.
nately the funds had run low, and be
had not sufficient to pay q nights lodg-
ing and the fare of both to New York
and would he render them little as
sistance about getting in at the Perry
Housei Captain II. told them it was a
case hardly coming within his province,
though he presumed they might get
lodgings at the station house. The bride,
groom thought his lady wouid hardly
be willingto sleep there, and failing to
get the assistance required, the young
man departed. The bride was about
fourteen years of age.

The Era Of Despetisns-Anothe Mil
itary Outrage at the seuth.

We have given special prominence to
the case of the renegade Ashburn, who
was murdered by his confreres in anegro
brothel in Columbus, Georgia, not be-
cause the circumstances were anoma-
lous, but simply because it was q type
of similar events which are occurring
almost daily in that section and an il.
lustratiOn Of the manner in which the
military authorities, in the name of JUS
tice, are carrying Oh their despotic rule.
We have before us the particulars OF
another case, quite as hagrant as the
one referred to, which has just occurred
in the same State. 1t seems that about
six weeks ago q soldier was killed ut
Warrentou, aud, in the absence Of any
positive clue to the perpetratOr of the
violence, the military authorities as
sumed foil knowledge of the case and
without having recourse to legal pro-
ceedings of any kind, even to the ex-
tent Of procuring affidayits, arrested a
peaceful and inoffepsive citizen of the
town named Cody. who with manacles
on his ankles aud wrists was hurried
of to Milledgeville Jail. In his helpless
condition, loaded with chains, he was
set upon, while in the dungeon, by foul
or live soldiers who had been imprisOn
ed for various offences and nearly beater
to death because the men regarded hin
rs the slayer of one of their comrades
He was Knocked down, pounded, kicked
IN the month and otherwise maltreatet
and was at last only saved from fata
consequences by the Sergeant of tn,
Guard.
A Military Commission was then des
ignated to try the case at tMilledgeville
and the prisoners counsel was giver
one davis notice to prepare. Subse
auently the trial was ordered to tax,
place at Atlanta, one hundred and TWEEN
ty miles from the residence OF the pris
oner, and occupied twenty-one days, th
prisoner being marched from his cell {
Court each day chained like felon.
Now the sequel of this was that, ate
beiag abruptly seized without wal
rant, nialtreated, maBacled, Transports
from home and subjected to q long an
tedious imprisonment and trial, no evi
dence was found duplicating the &C
cased and he was fully acquitted an
allowed to 90 unmolestsd. Cases @
this kind are continually occurring, an
there 10 not an innocent man in GeoI
gls, or, in fact, in any of the sstrapie
OF the South, who is not liable to be al
rested, thrownipto prison, and treate
IN similar manner while those State
are In bondage to the military as a

A Moth,r Sells Her Daughter for
Two = housand DsIlars-EIopement
and Recnpture.

From the Winona Republican, June 2Jthl
Our neighboring city of Owatonna
has been agitated and excited over an
elopement affair which occurred there
last week, the particulars of which were
received from gentleman who came in
on the train yesterday.
At OwatOnna resided a milliner, Mrs.
Myrick, who was the mother of young
and fascinating daughter Of about six
teen. A very respectable young man.
named OIell, had been paying the
daughter attention for some time and it
was currently reported and believed
that they were engaged. Matters stood
thus when man from Chicago, or some
city further East, to whom Mrs. Myrick
was indebted in the sum of $1,000, came
to OwatOnna and made the acquaint-
ance of Miss Myrick.
He no sooner saw her than he deter
mined to possess her, and, being man
unscrupulous as to what means he em-
ployed, he offered Mrs, ,Myrick to release
her from her obligation of $1,000 if she
would give him her daughter. Whether
she required much urging or not is not
known; but she fiually acceded to the
proposition. There vas another party
to be consulted, however. The young
and innocent girl shrunk from the idea
of being sold-bartered for a price-and
that to man whose character seemed
anything but fair. and whose purposes
appeared cOlored with dshonor. She
FASTENED to her lover with the tale
and they promptly decided to elude
the vigilance of the mother, and
thwart her miserable designs by o.
speedy marriage. They took the first
train going East and we're soon, as they
supposed, beyond the Iowa line, but un-
fortunately they alighted from the cars
sooner than they intended, and they
were obliged to take q carriage and
drive to Cresco. The delay gave the
mother time to overtake them She
telegraphed to CrescO and had them ar
rested, and after her arrival with her
miserable partner in the disgraceful
bargain, mock trial was had and Odell
was held in custody, at her request, IN
til she got started home with her
daughter. But. instead Of going to Owa-
tODua, the party took the eastward
bound train. The youEg girl was al
most frantic, and, it is said, attempted
to leap from the train. 1t is also re-
ported that she attempted to jamp over
board at Prairie du Chen. The young
man returned to OwatOnna with his
father. The whereabouts of Mrs. Ny.
rick, her daughter, and the maa who
sought to have possession of her, are
not known. Mrs. Myr,ck's millincr
shop is closed, and the public opinion is
very much against her. 1t could hard.
ly be otherwise with any woman who
would deliberately sell her daughter in
that manner.

The WEEKLY REGISTER for July 10TH
will contain the full Proceedings of the
Democratic National Convention, which
meets in New York, July 4th, and the
WEEKLY REGISTER for July 18th, will
contain the Proceedings of the State and

The campaign about opening prom
ises to be the most exciting, as it will
surely be the most important to this
country that it has ever witnessed.
The principal issues are now fairly de-
fined and well understood. The con-
test is for the preservation of what is
left of the Government established by
WASHINGTON and his eompatriots,
against the insane fanatics and thieves
who have full possession of the power
of the Federal and State Governments,
and who are using the places they &C.
cupy to strengthen themselves and
plnnder the people. The battle
must be boldly fought by the Conserv-
ative masses who would save the Coun-
try and restore peace to q distracted
people, overwhelmed by taxation, and
already deprived of many OK The rights
they once enjoyed. To conduct this
contest intelligently and successfully
al must understand thu issues and the
arguments, and to obtain them, all
must read. Democratic papers must be
circulated everywhere. a Democratic
paper every week in the hands of every
voter in the Union, would Insure vic
tory in November, without a parallel III
the annals of thc party. 1t i5 the duty
then, Of all whe u ish for the success Of
the cause to circulate Democratic pa
pers. To facilitate this object the pub
fishers of the WHEELING REGISTER
now offer their large Weekly issue at
the bare cost of printing, to Clubs for
the Campaign.
The WEEKLY REGISTER is the largest

double the reading matter of any other

by the ladies in one of the churches at

An experiment, made last year in Ger
many in planting potatoes, showed that
where the "eyes" had first been remOv-
ed, the yield was four times as great
as where they were left in their place.
1t was found that where an old eye had
been rubbed of, three or four new
ones made their appearance.
