The Republican Record,

As a party the one now in power
has done more Tor the good Of the
nation and mankind than any that
has existed since the birth Of the
republic. Its splendid record is thus
eloquently epitomized by that elo-
quent statesman, Senator Morton Of
Indiana:
at abolished slavery
1t gave liberty to all sections
1t protected the civil rights Of all
men
IL defeated reputation
1t gave Republican government to
the South
1t built the Pacific Railroad
IL passed the Homestead law
1t opened new roads into the uu-
inhabited domain
ltsecured pensions and homesteads
to the Union soldiers
1t has reduced the national debt
one hundred and forty-six millions
in sixteen months, thus certainly Sc
curing the extinction Of the whole
debt in less than fifteen years
1t has reduced taxation eighty
millions of dollars in one bill
1t has passed a revenue tariff with
full incidental protection to Ameri-
can labor
1t has reduced the prospective in
terest on the national debt !"
Compared with it, the record Of its
adversary palcs into nothingness and
contempt. The democratic party
have been false TO the country, false
20 freedom, false to humanity.

Death of General Lee.

The rebel General, Robert E. Lee,
died at Lexington, Virginia, on
Wednesday last, of congestion Of the
brain. General Lee was born in
18O8-tho son Of Henry Lee, general
in the revolutionary war. He grad
uated at West Point in 1929 with the
commission Of "a It,, participated in
the battles Of the Mexican war, and
for gallant conduct was promoted to
Colonel. From 1852 to 1853 be was
Superintendent Of the military
school at West Point. In April 1861
he resigned his commission in the
army to take up arms against the
government that had educated, sup
ported and honored him. As com
mander Of the Confederate forces his
history is known. at need not be
disguised that General Lees death
will carry sorrow TO the hearts of the
Southern people. If he was false to
the Union, he was at least faithful
to them, and staked all for their
sake. His name goes into history
blackoned by his treason against the
Government that educated him, and
which he bascly and perfdiously
deserted in the hour of her sorest
need. 1t was his military skill and
genius that made the rebels so pow
erful against us, and prottacted the
war so long. A shadow rests to-day
upon thousands and thousands of
Northern homes by reason Of this
mans dreadful crime, for which may
the infinite mercy of Almighty God
forgive him."

Mr.. Barber aud the Improvement

1t seems there are few who vet
hold that Mr. Barber is opposed to
the Improvement Of the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers. We supposed this
question was settled at the Conven-
ton that nominated him for Con-
gress. Prior TO his nomination Mr..
B., being charged Of opposing the
improvement, published a card de-
fining his position as earnestly in ia
vor Of the project, and his speech at
the Congressional Convention was
also a satisfactory definition of his
views on the question. For the in
formation Of those who doubt that
Mr.. Barber is sound on the Improve
ment we republish the following from
the report Of his speech of accept
ance at Spring Green;
"The Judge, in conclusion, turned
his attention TO our home interests.
He believed the Improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers feasible and
necessary for the commerce of the
northwest, and important to our
country in time Of war. He had
been charged with being opposed TO
the improvement. He had been
heartily in favor Of the improvement
for many years aud would do his ut
most to persuade the government to
follow up the measure which had
been initiated at the last session of
Congress"
In this connection we copy the
following from the last issue of the
Prairie du Chen Union
During the past week, several
have spoken to us in regard to Judge
BARRIERS position on the Improve
ment question and we learn that the
report is being circulated that no is
opposed to it. 1t seems to us that
no word is needed to express the alb
surdity of such a report. Mr. Bar
Der owns as much property on the
Wisconsin valley ss any other man
in the State. aud his interest in the
Improvement is identical with that OF
every farmer and merchant who
would be benefited by its completion
He defined his position most emphat.
ically before the Convention that
gave him tho nomination. The I'm.
provement Of the Wisconsin river has
not a more faithful and earnest friend
in the State than J. Allen Barber,
and no Member of Congress will or
can do more to further its compile.

sea The nensions maid durine -

nA-The pensions paid during the
year ending June 80, 1869, amounted
to S28,422, 600. Last year they
were $685. 900 less, or S27, $50, 600
three and quarter millions less than
the estimates. This difference be-
tween the actual and the estimated
amounts has resulted from minors
attaining the age of sixteen, from
special surgical examinations, and
from the discovery of frauds. 1t is
believed at the pension office that
the amount required to meet the
demand of the pension roll will in
future decrease, and that the maxium
was reached last year. The expense
on this account will, however, continue
to be heavy for many years. This

asa There are some singular coin
cidents suggested by the late over
throw Of the French Empire. Thus,
the third Napolean is succeeded by
the third Republic. The dethroned
Emperor reigned very nearly for the
same space Of time-eighteen years,
less a few months-as his kingly pre-
decessor, Louis Philippe. The at
tempt at a female regency-in the
latter case that of the Duchesse dor
leans was in both cases foiled by
the swift movements Of the Repub-
licans. Whether another link may be
added to the chain Of analogies by
Ill. being placed in a new
Elba, and escaping thence to make
final battle for his throne, remains to
Q seen.

Washington, where Mr.. Sawyer's
works are well known, speaks vol
umes in his favor:
This is the fourth time the Repub-

Mr.. Sawyer as their standard-bearer,
and the unanimity of the one and
only ballot was high and we'll de-
served compliment to that gentleman.
Mr.. Sawyer holds prominent place
in the foremost rank in Congress
among the Representatives from the
Badger State, while his influence and
usefulness on the floor of Congress is
second to none. At the last election
he defeated Villas, Democrat, by q
majority of 4,18S, which, without
doubt, will be increased to 5000 at
the November election.

TUMoR REMOVED BY ELECTRICITY
FROM GEN. KILPATRICK' NECk.-A
remarkable surgical operation was
performed on Gen Fitzpatrick, Friday,
at New York, for the removal Of an
erectile tumor from the left side Of
the neck, which, first appearing two
years ago, has since steadily increased,
battling the best medical skill Of this
country and Chill, until 1t protruded
outward to the size of hens egg,
while inwardly it was much larger,
crowding tho windpipe over to the
left, and making the effort TO talk or
eat very painful. Electricity was the
means decided upon for the removal
Of the tumor, and the General having
been placed completely under the in
fiuence of ether, four large darning
needles were inserted in the tumor,
which was almost perfectly solid, and
the full force of powerful electric
battery was applied. In thirty min
utes the swelling began to disappear,
and in two hours, during which the
General was perfectly unconscious, it
was entirely removed. The opera
ton was completely prostrating, but
perfectly satisfactory to the General
and his friends and the surgeons
have no doubt of his speedy recovery.
The electricity thrown into Gen. Kill
patrick's system during the time the
battery was applied was sufficient to
burn a piece Of coal the size of mar
BILE. The operation is the first of the
kind ever attempted. 1t was per-
formed by Dir. Rufus P Lincoln, form
erly Colonel of the 10th Massachu-
setts volunteers. Gen. Mccartney,
Surgeon General Hammond and 9TH
er military friends were present.
