Progress

-.
The last desperate act Of hu.
man valor was the routing of the
O. ladies engaged in decorating the
graves of the Confederate dead, at
Arlington. The movement was
successfully planned and executed
by q detachment Of marines, u.
S.serVice. This is a step forward.
We do not see, the efficacy Of war
ring upon the memory Of the dead,
There is no danger that the "gal-
liant officer Of marines would ever
have met in fight, one Of the fal-
len whom he now thinks it a merit
to insult, and over whose mani
nGte forms he permits no tokens
70 remembrance.to beplaced. He
and such as he, may expect speedy
& and honorable" promotion, for
services on the battlefield, " the
promotion to be not the less
or honorable, though no
p foemen met him in battle array.
Though defencelessr women were
the enemy whose plans he frustra-
ted, and beautiful flowers the nu-
nitions Of war captured, yet on the
pages of history it will form oneot
the brightest chapters. In the. af-
ter days, when the monarchical
party now forming shall sway the
destinies of America, and our meek
and lowly Christianity be changed
for a religion which deiRes heroes,
then viii this "oAicer of marines"
be remembered through ages to
come as the Apollo Of the system
and worshiped jointly with Butler,
IN temples, every altar Of which
will be surmounted with silver
vases, spoons and garlands Of
flowers. Perhaps the priestesses,
in Mrs. DR.. Walker-raiment, will
be won't to point out to the admir-
ing worship ers the pictures, ezecu-
ted il most perfect style Of art, Of
the vanquished ladies Of Virginia,
whose outer dresses required full
thirteen yards Of cloth, and lecture
upon The yanities Of the savage
times which these heroes did 90

world ls at all interested. Can Napoleonism,
or can 1t not endorse freedom of speech 10 the
peoples house9 Freedom Of speech has been
granted. In October the Corps Legislatif will
meet, and for the first time since l846 there
will be heard in the French Chambers the
undisguised thoughts of the mass Of the French
people.
What will be the result Who can answer
the question: Napoleon may find himself
strong enough to humor all parties, and thus
make constitutional government possibility
in France. He may but he may not. The
government party is well united and the forces
.. ~, a.. -, -l-..-s ;rroSistible. But the
opposition, though not united, is numerous,
and there are sections of the opposition whose
hatreds are intense beyond all calculation.
The "Reds" are now rejoicing in their oppor-
tunity. Under the new constitution France
must hear them. How will France act under
their rafting sentences-the rousing inspiration
of their language7 We, like Napoleon, with
some anxiety wait to see.

Will Governor Walker Resign Z

A New York correspondent of Washington
paper predicts that If General Candy insists
upon forcing the iron-clad oath upon conserva-
tive members elect to the Virginia Legislature,
and in case of failure to comply to Gil the va
cancies by the selection of those radicals who
may stand next on the tickets, Governor
Walker will urge the resignation of those con-
servadves who may not be able to take the re-
quired oath, and then resign himself-thus
throwing the whole question of the election of
Governor and Legislature back to the people.
We do not think this will be very wise
course. Governor Walker had better hold on
to what he has. It may be difficult to get
better hand Immediately il he throws up the
cards he now holds. Besides there Is nothing
wrong about his record; and whatever may
attach to that of his conservative friends with
whom he has been elevated to power by the
voice Of the people must become obliterated as
light and reason begin to pervade republican
councils. The republican party in the North
and West can never stand before the masses
upon the showing that the decided expression
Of the will Of the people has been so outrage
ously disregarded as is proposed to be done by
General Candy in the case of the Virginia con-
servative legislators elect.

the Barge Club, took seats In six-oared shell boat
which piled between the contestants. About .
quarter OF an hour after Eve O'Clock Hamni darted
out from his boathouse at Glenwood Grove ana
rowea to the starting point, where few minutes
later he was met by Coulter. Both poised their
oars and the referee gave signal, and both boats
shot or with lightning rapidy. Coulter took thu
lead. and when, about 100 yards the water pass1 d
over the stern OF his boat he was two
lengths ahead Of his competitor. When Qp 20.

slowly. In this manner they pulled uuil the buoy
