GEN. BLAIR'S ALLEGED THREAT ov AssAs-
sINATIoS.-The Associated Press report oil
Gen. Blairs speech at ST. Louis on Friday last
represented him as saying .sthat Gen. Grant,
II elected President, would never leave the
White House alive" But the ST. Louis Repasb-
ticGn of Saturday, in its full report of the
speech. shows that he made quite different
statement. The following is an extract of tha,
portion which has been erroneoasIy tele-
grapbed
The point TO which desire to bring you is
this, that in this struggle We have every thing
at stake that it Is the final and last struggle for
the preservation of free constitu tional Govern
ment IN AmerIea-that il we fail in it the Re.
public falls with us. 1t becomes the mere ap.
pendage of the military chieftain who is eie.
But he nerer UlH ledre the I'-esidenidl mansion
as long as he hires. i have nothing to say
against him personally; have no intention of
derogating from his great merits as q soldier,
and have no desire 10 tarnsh any of the lau-
rels which he won in the services that he gave
to the country during the late war. But l
nave just as little design of surrendering ALSO :.
lutte power into the hands of any m IN, no m at.
ter how illustrious he may have made his ma me
in this great war"
Gen. Blair appears to have meant to say
tor the utterance is little muddy--that Gen
Grant, if elected, would make himself dictator
for life. II was not very sensible thing for
Gen. Blair TO say at BEST but it is satisfaction
TO know that he did not utter anything SO
atrocious as that attributed 10 him in the tele
graphic report.

PRODUCED IN German schools, viz. the abolition
Of all afternoon classes. Ii was principally
during the past summer months thai the ex

ties. The results are on all sides reported to
have been more than brilliant. The forenoon
classes are somewhat, but not much longer han
formerly. but II is said that the pupils show an
eagerness and vigor in those short morning
hours which has never been known before, an 4
their progress Is quite IN keeping with their
Keen and energetie assiduity. The most curiOu
point about the matter (says the Pal NaH

that, the schools having hitherto only clos ed

the wishes of the respective head-masters, tn
progress shown by the various schools stand $
IN az inverse ratio 70 the duration OF the classes

The Intelligence does not agree with the
World in demanding the withdrawal OF Gen.

says, ''must be thorough, and the demand for

The people of Virginia have borne too long,
and too bravely, to be overwhelmed by another
stroke of adverse fortune. Recurring to the
last three years Of varying but always bitter
experience, there has been much to reward this
| people for the consistency with which they have
attested devotion to principle. Spared the re-
proach Of a mock admission to an enforced I'm
ion, spared the rule of the debased and besot-
ted, spared the turmoil and bloodshed OF con.
tending races-we can find much to encourage
perseverance in stand-tastness, persistence
| in calm self, and God, reliance.
Much of that CALLING poverty, which added
SO greatly to our first seasons of trial, has pass
| ed away In the growth Of great enterprises,
the steady development ofremunerative trades,
the general employment of long neglected re-
sources, the resuscitation Of paralyzed energies,
and in the consciousness of strength which the
unavailing assaults of our enemies have brought,
| we learn that there is much which cannot be
| taken away from an earnest determined life,
| and that the powers Of endurance belonging to
us are as illimitable as the oppressors ingenuity
of oppression. 4
Is our repulse, therefore, to bring panic, OF
our failure, surrender? We can work with re-
| solute wills, wait with watchful minds, stand by
| the right with hearts anchored in faith; and
trust to the end that neither the powers of this
ple who have sworn to God in their souls, that
as they have lived they will live Free and die
Free, as their fathers did, or else be driven to
the yoke by the sheer brute force which cannot
chain the will or fetter the reason, and which
can enforce DEGREES only while it is strong and
those whom it drives are weak.
Hope for the best Even continued radical
supremacy, with Grant as its sword, will find it
difficult to enable negro minority to rule Vir
GINA 5 people. We will obey the law, as in the
past, stand by the terms of our capitulation like
men of honor. Perhaps in assumed power,
these people may ape generosity, and better af
ford to be enient than cruel Be that as it
may, we will hold fast to that which is good,
submit where we must, resist where We may,
and never despair of vindication in the end.
Virginia honor is as bright to-day, as when
she gave to the young Republic its first Presi-
dent. Be it ours to keep her shield untarnish-
ed, and her faith inviolate. Petersburg Index.
