The attempts which are now made by Vir-
gnian newspapers, and notably by the ex-
Confederate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to blast the
reputation and to cast reproach upon the mem
DRY of the late Gen. Thomas, seem to us losi
cally to enhance the credit due to the dead
soldier. Gen. +. Lee writes to The Richmond
Dispatch that he was told in New-YOrk by
Gen. Thomas that he intended to resign his
commission in the United States Army and to
seek military employment from the Confed-
eracy. 1t is added that he also wrote to Gov.
Letcher rendering his professional services to
the Rebellion 1t seems to us to be OF but
small importance whether these statements are
false or well founded. If Gen. Thomas, after
wavering for moment between his duty 10
the Republic and his sympathy for the State
of his nativity, Overcame temptation, ana
walked resolutely ever after in the path OF
duty and honor, the struggle and the victory
can only increase our respect for him. Whether
the tale of Gen. f. Lee has any foundation or
not, the fact remains that Gen. Thomas gave
his extraordinary abilities to the right SIDE
He may in q moment OF hesitation nave Sent
a letter like that alluded to to Gov. John
Letcher, but we should rather prefer to see 1t
than to hear it talked about Are we to I'M
derstand that with its customary infatuatlon,
the Confederacy declined the services of such
an eminent soldierq Or that Gov. Letcher
kept the letter in his pocket, and made no
communication of its contents to his associates
But the matter is hardly worth discussing
Hints and insinuatons and unsupported asser-
tons like these are light indeed when weighed
against the fact that Gen. Thomas was from
the beginning to the end of the war about the
most practical Union man in the whole country.

A poor man who means to gain his living
honestly, yet chooses to abide in city, must
be spiritless creature. He knows that hlrer
and hirelng stand on footing of equality In
the cOuntry-that the labor of the one fairly
balances the money of the other, and that
neither feels any obligation beyond the ex-
change of honest work for punctual payment;
while all is different in the City. Here, the
throng and press of needy applicants converts
employment into charity, giving work into q
covert mode of giving aims. "Can t you give
enc something to do 7" pleadingly inquiries
the applicant, as though he were asking for
cold broken victuas at your basement door
or window. This importantly degrades ana
debauches Labor yet there is no help for it,
so long as thrice as many seek to live in cities
as are needed or can be useful there.
We plead for reform in the interest of Labor,
of Poverty, of Manhood. The country is now
most inviting anu tne IaTIneTS arc Duoy 40
bees. If you have any skill at their sort OF
work. they need it; if you have not, you need
to acquire it. Suppose you can earn no more
than your board at first, the capacity, the
knowledge, you would acquire by few months
faithful labor, would be an independence. DO
not say, 81 never did any outdoor work" for
that is your misfortune which you should re-
cn1vn forthwith to overcome.
But two-thirds of our petty storekeepers and
shopkeeping mechanics ought to migrate. Here,
they barely exist in a competition which all but
starves each other; the slender means which
they can no longer increase because of dimln-
ished energies and increased family expenses,
would be little fortune in the South or West.
Let each resolve to put few acres between
himself and the probability of famine this very
Spring. Let him give his children the advant-
ages which only country air and country life
afford. Let him resolve that the least fOrtu-
nate among them shall at least be trained to
industry and efficiency in some pursuit where
employment does not involve beggary. Men
and brethren resolve that 1870 shall not leave
you in rented lodgings, if it be possible mean
time to make yourselves the owners of homes

CITY IND COUNTRY LIFE.

The season has returned wherein simple ex-
istence is luxury to all who enjoy health of
mind and body with wholesome fare and the
blessed privileges of pure air. cold water, and
sunshine. A man may slave himself into
state of chronic WEAKNESS and suffering so that
the beauties of Nature, the splendOrs of the
Heavens, shall make no impression on his dulled
senses yet there are few utterly unconscious of
the delights of the vernal season--few who do
not realize that life in May is a greater boon
than life in December.
How is it that many who might enjoy the
priceless blessings Of fields and flowers, of
woods and ripping brooks, the breath of
mountains and the song of birds, prefer to
foreg0 them all, and swelter in one or two back
garrets of a city barTack, infested by every
noisome scent and hateful sound, where COM
fort abides not and health is impossible7
The rich can live anywhere. If they weary
of their roomy palaces, or the broad, breezy
avenues which stencil is stranger, they
have but to wish and they are feetly borne to
shady, slightly cOuntry-sea or to Long
Branch, Newport, or Saratoga-tO the seaside,
the lakes, or the mountains, where luxury awaits
them and pestilencc is unknown. But the
poor man may see his only child sinking daily
under the assaults of disease, and know that
change of scene and air and nothing else
would save it yet he must cling to his daily
drudgery, his nightly discomfort, and see the
loved one die. The ambitious and aspiring
seek the City for scope and opportunity, the
sanguinely expected struggle and triumph of
q grand career. Let the unincumbered who
can do many useful things excellently, and
two days work in one, still throng the pave.
ments if they will for such can live on little
if they must, and escape to the country when
the City will sustain them no longer. A light
heart and two strong legs will soon take them

its hates and perturbations, are forgotten

But for him who has outlived aspiration
who hopes only for his children-who is con-

New brOOms proverbially sweep clean, and
there have been anticipatons of the display of
great zeal and energy by the newly appointed
Commissioners on coming into power The
report of the organization, yesterday, OF the
Park Commissioners does read pleasantly and
has an unusual interest, but the promises OF i'm
prOvement of our new masters over the old ones
are not highly encouraging. We are to have
the City Hall Park repaved and resodded, for
which we hasten to give thanks; the coach
men are no longer to subject it to their dem
ocratic uses; and the Government is warned
to trespass no longer beyond the Post-Oiice
fence. We are also to have music every other
afternoon in the lower parks of the city, which
we take to be good thing. But beyond this
there is little to cause us to grow enthusiasts
tic over our new rulers. On the contrary, We
cannot resist the impulse to shrug our shout
ders doubtingly at the announcement that the
duties of the Park Commissioners are really
to devolve on Mcssrs Swceny, Hilton, and
Fields, who are constituted an Executive Com
mittee with absolute power. Further, it is not
encouraging to note that among the first acts
of the Commissioners was one ordering sup
ply of money.

TPE1TUENT or THE INS1NE.

Our English exchanges come to us filed
with indignant attacks upon the present
system of treatment in use i'll their insane
asylums. Two keepers of the county mad
house at Lancaster have just been sentenced
to seven years penal servitude for the murder
of one William Wilson, who was admitted to
the asylum on Dec. II, and i'll less than a
week was pummeled and kneaded to death,
his ribs being literally broken into bits under
the knees of his attendants. The Earl of
Shaftesbury, head of the Board of Commits
siOners in Lunacy, calls attention to this, and
to "the frequent cases of like cruelty and
neglect" in The Times, but without suggest
ing any effcctual remedy. In fact, as the
English journals acknowledge, there is no
remedy 80 long as helpless idiots and lunatics
are massed together in large asylums, under
the absolute control of keepers over whom
the surveillance of the law is slight, and
against whose cruelty in such cases as this
there is ordinarily no evidence but that of
the crazed patients whom fear will keep
silent. A strong feeling is growing up, both
in England and this country, against these
enormous Warehouses;, where, as says The
Examiner, human beings are aggregated

Within the last century, or since the estab-
Gshment of the American Government, France
has been twice a monarchy, twice a republic,
and twice an empire Twice has it passed
through these three forms Of government in
the same order, to wit Monarchy, republic,
empire; and again monarchy, republic, empire.
The first and second republics were both
founded on the rim of monarchy and the
first and second empires were both founded
on the ruins of a republic. The Kings were
always BourbOns, and both of the Ehperors
have been Bonapartes. In the regular order
of things, we may expect the present empire
to be followed by Bourbon monarchy, which
should last till it is superseded by repablic,
on the ruins OF Which some Bonaparto should

The Chicago Tribune exposes its own igno-
rance in saying of the new L. S. Senator from
Iowa that
.Mr. Wright declared himself after his election, in
favor OF protection TO manufactures, giving the
principal therefor that it had been part of his
'boyhood faith Whether he was in favor Of protection
to pig the extent Of nine dollars per tun or only
five dollars he did not say II he continues 10 gorern
himself his boyhood faih he TiH probably conclude
hat fire dollars per TIN is enough"
Remarks-The duty on Pig Iron was fixed at
50 per tun by the Tariff of 1916 1t was
raised to $40 per TN in 1918. 1t was further
raised to Sl2 so per tun By the Tariff of 1923.
When the Democrats came fully into power,
it was reduced when the Wings regained the
ascendency in 1871, it was raised again to 80
per tun by the Tariff of 1si2-and that is just
where it now stands. No lower duty on Pig
Iron than the present was ever imposed by a
dstinctivey Protective Tariff. We submit,
therefore, that our Chicago namesake's prob
"ably" is devoid of probability.

The American Medical Association is now
holding its annual session in Washington. Two
important questions, lis anticipated, will come
before this body viz 1. The right OF colored
doctors to participate in the proceedings; and
g. The claim of medical ladies to membership.
TOplain men content to be guided by common
sense these problems will not appear to be in
soluble For any member to give any good
reason why well-educatcd physician should be
excluded from the Association on account OF
color or sex, is simply impossible. Moreover,
if we understand the object of this society, 1T
is the promotion of medical science and the
suppression of charlatanry. Now, it is certain
that hereafter there will be both women doctors
and black doctors. The question is whether
these shall be encouraged to aspire to good
scientific position or whether they Shall be
left to the temptations of quackery.

Secretary Boutwell, has given notice that, at
current month (the first of which takes place
today, the Treasury may, at its option, ac-
cept bids for larger amount than is offered
by advertisement. BY the terms of this
announcement, he has power to act at any
time in such a way as will be most profitable
to the Treasury-even though it should check
the schemes of the gold gamblers. For
example, though he offers but one million
at tO-day's sale, yet, if he should get
bids for three or four millions at such
rates as have lately been current,
he would be able, and probably willing, to
accept these bids and make prompt deliveries
on them. There has of late been desperate
attempt on the part of a speculative Ring to
advance the price of gold-an attempt which
has no support in the financial or business
condition of the country, but which has been
prosecuted to the detriment of all the lcgiti-
mate interests of the community. How much
farther they will carry on their movement
depends entirely upon circumstances, partly
within their own control and partly beyond it.

The leading Canadian papers now seem to
think that Canada has been imposed upon in
regard to the Fenian business. They have
come to the conclusion that there was no in
vasion projected or intended, and they charge
the Dominion Government with having stirred
up the warlike fever for their own purposes. The
Canadian papers are probably right in this
matter; and we think the people ought to hold
the Dominion Government responsible for rails
extremely damaging results.
