THAT NOTORIOUS rebel, Albert Pike, seems
to be on the rampage. lie said in Seymour
mass meeting at Memphis, last week:
"This 10 n struggle for life or death. Our
honor, dearer than our life, is at stake. The
man or the set OF men that denies me the right
to vote in the state 10 which live, Is not my
political opponent, but my personal enemy

IMaEDIATELY upon the nomination OF Cen
eraI Grant the Democrats began to ASSERT that
there was no enthusissmj that the thing fell
dcadi and argued the defeat OF the ticket.
Wait, said they, TIL we nominate at New
York, and we will show you what enthusi-
asm Is. Well, they have nominated their
ticket, but where is the enthusiasm We
don't see 1t.
1t was very natural that the nomination of
General Grant, st the time 1t was made,
should be calmly received by the people, as he
had been placed In the field long before by
them. The convention simply ratified the
nomination which the people had made with
out the aid OF q convention.
But that Democratic enthusiasm over their
ticket, where ia it, viii not some one please

The NEW YoRK Sun has the following with
reference to Col. Robert q. Shaw, who fell In
the attack upon Fort Wagner, In Charleston
Harbor, ave years ago. Every word OF 1t is
true OF that gallant officer. Col. Shaw COM
manded eolored regiment. The Sun says:
"Young, just married, with everything to
make life dear and charming, he went to the
field and persisted In the heat Of battle, and
was buried by the contemptuous enemy in the
breaches OF the fort, along with the despised
men OF color whom he had led. 1t was, In
deed, a noble and heroic death, atty ending a
life which, though short, had been filled with
none but noble aspirations, impulses OF gentle
and fearless humanity, thoughts wide, deep,
and generous, and actions In which the hand
ever obeyed the conscience and the heart. To
our thinking, he lies better there with his
lowly comrades than In any decorated tomb;
and yet II seems very desirable that some
proper monument here among US should re-
cord, for those who are to come after, his in-
spring and beautiful history. Perhaps II is
because no monumental remembrancer could
do Justice to the truth, that no successful
effort has yet been made to erect a shaft or u
statue to remind us of his life and his death.
But we should indeed lose much that is best
worth preserving, II such examples Of unquali-
fed patriotism and devotion to the high
est ideas rs were furnished by Robert
shaw, and by many other heroes OF the war,
young and old, should ever be suffered TO fall
Into obseurity in the country they died to
save"
