LER,s ANoEsTRY.

The death of General Robert Il. Lee
naturally raises the inquiry as to the re-
lationship that existed between him and
the Lees of the Revolution, about which
there has been much confusion.
General Robert Z. Lee was the son Of
General Henry Lee Light Horse Har-
rv'') by his second marriage. He had
two brothers, Sidney Smith Lee, who
commanded the steamboat Mississippi
the flagship of Commodore Perry, in the
expedition to Japan, and who died
eighteen months ago; and Charles car
ter Lee, who survives him, and IS a Jar
mer in Powhatan county, Virginia. lie
had also sister, a woman Of superior
endowments, who married Mr.. Edward
v. Childe, of Boston, and died, several
years ago, in Paris, where she had long
dweIt. Henry Lee, a son Of Light
Horse Harry's" first marriage, was
man Of brilliant talents but irregular life,
who wrote a lampoon on Mr.. Jefferson
well known to collectors Of American
biography and Ana.
General Robert /. Lee had three sons
in the rebel army, w. ii. Fitzhugh Lee,
c. w. Custis Lee (both colOnels) and
Robert, who was a private in the ranks.
Fitz Lee, the cavalry leader, was the son
of Sidney Smith Lee.
Light Horse Harry's" father was
first cousin of Richard Henry, Francis
Lightfoot and Arthur Lee, the three
brothers who rose to such distinction in
the war of the Revolution. richard
Henry and Francis LightfOot Lee were
signers of the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence. and Arthur Lee was appointed
Commissioner to France with Sllas
Deane and DR.. Franklin, by the Cont
mental Congress. Arthur Lee was edu-
Gated at Eaton, and remained several
years in England in early life.
General Charles Lee, Of the Revolu-
tionary army, whose conduct at Mon
mouth reused the ire Of Washington 10
such a degree as to draw from him an
oath, was in no way related to the Lees
of Virginia. He was an EnglishmaHs
and came to America with the troops
that served in the disastrous campaign
of Braddock.-M T. Post.

oAmPBELL's vIoFoRE.

We place on. record the Democratic
account of the means by which Mr..
Schenck was defeated, as given in the
Enquirer's letter describing the Satur-
MALTA over it at Dayton on Tuesday
night. 1t says
t'In fact, the city has been seeth-
ing caldron of political excitement ev-
er since Saturday, when it first became
known that Schenck and his friends
would attempt to vote the soldiers in
the National Military Asylum. This
brought into the field Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, by whose intense efforts and en-
ergy the atrocious scheme was defeat
ed. Hitherto he had been taking no
active part in the campaign, but his
entrance into the struggle at this crit
ical moment stirred the Democratic
heart as with the note of the clarion,
and infused into it some of his own
powerful energy and enthusiasm. 1t
was this spirit that achieved the victo-
ry over which we now rejoice, and
gave birth to the grand iOlliication
which we are now witnessing"
Thus it is confessed that Mr.. Camp
bell was elected over Union soldier
by means of the disfranchiSement of
the soldiers who have been manned in
their eountry's service, and that the
acknowledgements of these wounded
soldiers was achieved through the eX-
traordinary energy of Mr.. ValIandig-
ham, whom Mr.. Campbell knew to be
giving treacherOus aid and comfort
to the enemy when these soldiers were
giving their lives to their country
According to Democratic authority
Mr.. Campbell owes his election to the
Acknowledgement of national veteran
soldiers. Can an honorable man, who
claims to have been soldier of the
Union, accept an election procured by
this robbery of his comrades 2-CDlein-

THE FOURTEEN s1EGEs OFPARIs.


4 Our French correspondent writes
from Rouen, whittier he has been fore
ed to go from Paris The French capi-
tai is standing its fourteenth siege, ac-
eording to paper published in the
! Vot01tGt4e under the title "FtuctltGt
| nee MergitJtT." +"
j The first of these on record was in
! the year So B. c., when Lutetia, then
/ confined to an island in the Seine, was
/ attacked by the Roman consul Labien-
us, and the Inhabitants, abandoning
the defence of the town, burned their
homes and retired to the neighbOring
/ hills, where they were finally van
] quished by the superior tactics Of the
| legions.
/ In A. D. 463, Childeric /, son of AIer-
| obstinate siege.
! In s45 the city was taken and pillag-
/ ed by the NOrmans, enticed thither by
the riches of the capital.
In S56 they again attacked Paris,
which was burned by its Inhabitants.
Five years later there was another
incursion by the freebooters, who,
how ever, found nothing worth taking.
After this the Parisians decided up
on fortifying their town, but before
the walls were completed thirty thous-
and Eormans encamped before them.
The citizens, however, defended them
selves manfully for more than a year,
and the invaders were about to raise
the siege when Charles the first hoist
ed white flag and capitulated, signing
a disgraceful peace which cost him his
throne.
In 1858 the Dauphin laid siege to the
town, but was unsuccessful as was
the King of England in 1859.
In 1920 the English took Paris by as
sault, and held it for sixteen years.
During this time it was attacked, in
1927, by Charles VII, who was repuls-
ed by the garrison.
In 1862 the Duke of Burgundy raw
aged the country up to the very walls.
In 1464 the Count of Charolais invest
ed the city and was defeated in sever
al assaults. Alike unsuccessful was
the army of Charles v. in 1886.
Under Henry III. and Henry ". the
city sustained an ever memorable
siege, capitulating, however, to the
soldier of Navarro, after he had abjur-
ed Professionalism.
LASTLY, in 1914, it was given up, after
a brief but gallant defence, to the allies.
Then, as in every preceding instance,
treason had much to do with the sur
render of the capital and this treason
seems to have been confined exclu-
sively to the middle and upper classes,
who contended with each other for the
honor of paying court and homage to
the conquerors. The papers of 1914
tell of the gallantry of the Workmen
and students at the -Barriere de Cliehy,
and of their sad silence as the foreign
ers marched in triumph through the
streets, but also tell how ribbons and
flowers were showered down upon
them in the wealthy quarters of the
town, and how the women ran forward
to kiss the hussars and Cossacks.-
