who delivered very happy eulogies on our
revered and lamented chieftain
We give below the
REMARKS OF GEN. HENRY WISE.
Mr.. President and Comrades of the Con
federaey.-I cannot trust the fullness Of nay
heart at the moment Of this meeting t,
prompt my lips with the words becoming
the bier Of Gen. Robt b Lee, whose death
has called together some of his surviving
comrades.
1t is no occasion for any sketch of biog-
raphy or history; eulogy upon his life and
death is vain; his character excels all praise
his merits need not to be disclosed and bis
faults had no dread abodes,' for they all
leaned to virtues side Whatever faults he
had, and whatever blame belonged to him,
no friend or foe could point them out halt
as readily as bis truthful righteousness would
admit and mourn them. He was swiIter
than the accuser to accuse himself, and ever
generous to the faults Of others; he was ever
foremost to knowledge bis own If Aosh-
ing is to be said Of the dead but what is
good, there is superabundanee Of good in
his life and death to compose volumes for
the instruction Ct mankind. He is departed
ana gone to his Father, bat it cannot b.
said Of him that he is mo more His fame
is left to earth for all time-his great and
good soul is in Heaven for all eternity; and
from his example proceeds by moral power
and divine force, which all the arms of earth
and powers of darkness cannot subdue, a
wisdom and virtue which SHALL hover over
the land he loved and spread it with the
fruits ofrighteousness and truth. That is
enough to be said Of him, and it is left for
us to cherish his memory, and keep the leg
acies of lessons he taught.
The first fruit of his demise is the happy

A French shop keeper recently gave it
in evidence before a committee on the

Thareason assigned was that the French

The Enforcement Act.

The act is very plain in its terms, and
can hardly be misunderstood by the dull
est intellect, or msconstrued by the most
bigoted partisan. The first section oil
the act declares:
"That all citizens of the United States
who are or shall be otherwise qualified by
law to vote, at any election by the peo-
pie, in any State, territory, district
county, city, parish, township, school
district, municipality, or other territorial
subdivision, shall be entitled and allowed
to vote at all such elections, without dis
tinction of race, color or previous condl-
ton of servitude, any constitution, law,
custom, usage or regulation of any State
or territory to the contrary notwithstand-
ing
And section eight declares:
THAT the District Courts of the United
States shall have, exclusively of the
courts of the several States, cognizance
of all crimes and offences committed
against the provisions of this act; and
also, concurrently with the Circuit Courts
of the United States, of all causes, civil
and criminal, arising under this act.
And by the 9th section of the act, it is
declared,
"That the district attorneys, marshals
and deputy marshals, and commission
ers appointed by the circuit courts, with
powers of arresting, imprisoning or bail
ing offenders against the laws of the
United States, shall be and they are here
by specially authorized and required, at
the expense of the United States to in
stitute proceedings against all and every
person who shall violate the provisions
of this act, and cause him or them to be
arrested" etc.
Thus it will be seen that by this act,
passed under authority of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, the subject
matter of the elective franchise is taken
altogether from the States and put under
the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States

Letter from Colonel Vaughan.

To the Editor OF the br0wnsvllle Dee'
| find in your issue of July l, call on
me, signed Democrats" to become a
candidate for Congress in this District,
and fully appreciating the compliment
and kind allusion to past services, have
only to say, in reply, that. if the party
should be Of opinion that | could be OF
service to it, / am at its command
Whatever services may have rendered
in the past were nothing more nor less
than the simple discharge of duty or
duties resting, as conceived, upon every
citizen who had at heart the interest OF
his people and State, and for which |
make no charge or claim, on any party
or people, anywhere. Nor is this the
time when the personal claims of any
Individual can be entertained for one
moment, for l feel impressed, solemnly
impressed, that upon the cast of the
next Congress hangs perhaps the destiny
of our Government; for that mighty con-
lict of Constitutional liberty, on the one
side, and centralized despotism on the
other, is still being waged. And that
question as to whether the taxpayers
and laborers of the South and West are
still to pay tribute to the pampered cap
italists of the East, is to be settled.
These are questions of vital interest to
our people; and while am willing for
my name TO 60 before your Convention,
am unwilling for my claims to endanger,
for one moment, the success of the party
in the struggle.
Very respectfully,

of citizens that has met together in the

enemies of the Convention system are
now enthusiastic in their support of the
ticket, and hilarious over the triumph
which is assured to it. The Convention

A HEARTLEss CAsE.-On the 18th inst,
a heartless case of swindliDg was developed
at the Toombs Police Court. A young man
named Cornelius Mckinley managed to
save 5000, and came on to New York for
the purpose of taking passage to Ireland.
He had not been here long when he met q
man at the place he was stopping, who told
him he was going to England and was
about getting some greenhacks exchanged
for gold and proposed that they so and
get gold for their paper currency.
Mckinley was then taken to No 146
Liberty street, where he counted out 5000
in greenbacks Samuel Green and Charles
Harmon, who were in the office, counted
ont its equivalent in gold sovereigns, and
pretending to put the same in n leathern
rirdle, strapped it around his waist. Nc
Ginley had only gone few PAGES from the
Office when he looked at the leather pouch
and found it contained only ten sovereigns.
He went back to Green and Harmon, but
could not get satisfaction.
