shed and agony-we have long since
ceased to look upon him as the Confede-
rate leader, but have claimed him as one
of ourselves; have cherished and felt
proud Of his military genius as belong
ing to US; have reoounted and recorded
his triumphs as our own; have extolled
his virtues as rehecting honor upon US;
for Robert Edmund Lee was an Ameri-
can, and the great nation that gave him
birth would be, to-day, unworthy of
such son if she regarded him lightly.
Never had mother "a nobler son. In
him the military genius Of America was
developed to q greater extent than ever
before. In him all that was pure and
lofty in mind and purpose found lodg-
ment. Dignified without presumption,
atiable without familiarity, he united all
those charms and manners which made
him the idol Of his friends and of his SOL
diers, and won for him the respect and
admiration of the world. Even as in
the days of his triumph, glory did not
intoxioate, SO when the dark clouds
swept over him, adversely did not de-
press. From the hour that he surren-
dered his sword at Appomattox to the
fntal autumn morning, he passed among
mon noble in his quiet, simple dignity,
displaying neither bitterness nor regret
over the irrevocablo past. He conquered
us in misfortune by the grand manner
in which he sustained himself, even as
he dazzled us by his genius when the
tramp of his soldiers resounded through
the valleys of Virginia.
And for such man we are oil in tears
and sorrow to-day. Standing beside his
grave, men of the South and men of the
North can mourn with all the bitterness
of four years of warfare erased by the
common bereavement. May this unity
of grief-this unselfish manifestation

The SUTRo ROYALTY is the subject OF
Congressional action. The Washington cor
respondent of the Sacramento Union states
as follows: Fitch has introduced a bill
explanatory Of the Act of July %, 1866, re-
lating to the Sutro tunnel, which is now be-
fore the Committee of Mines and Mining,
and will probably be favorably reported upon
and passed by the House. Under that Ac.
the tunnel company was to get certain re-
Enumeration in the shape of royalty from the
various companies and lodges of the Com
stock lode drained by the Sutro tunnel, on
condition that by certain time the tunnel
company's stock should be taken up. That
time passed, and the contract on the part Of
Sutro Tor his company having been broken
although doubtless by no lack of effort on
his part-it is proposed to ahrogate such
privileges as would otherwise have been given
him. This seems but fair, when it is consid-
cred that in consequence OF Sutro's failure to
get the subscription list filled the Comstock
mining companies have been obliged to go to
vast expense in sinking and for machinery
TO secure drainage, ventilation, etc, in order
TO work their mines. But | shall probably
ailude to this subject more at length another

A TYPE SETTING MArcH.-The PRINT
ers OF the country are promised seusa-
ton OF their own in the shape of a type
setting match for the championship soon
to take place-the time has not been ar.
rsnged-and which will probably lead
to other matches until the ''tast comps
are all brought out. George A Barber,
a compoSitor on the Cincinnati Com.
mercial, some time since published a
challenge to the craft, wherein he holds
himself ready to set type against any
other man for ten consecutive hours. for
purse of 81 900. The challenge has
been accepted by George Arensberg of
the New York Times, who has put down
the forfeit money. Since the art of type
setting has been known, the question of
how many types, according 10 printers
measurement, could be set up and cor
rected in ten hours time has been an
open one, and now that an opportunity
is TO be given of setting it, the printers
Of the country will not cease to specu-
late upon it until the even: has passed.
Il is claimed by those acquainted with
these men that each has set as much as
1000 ems of type in ten consecutive
hours. When the reader is informed
that II 900 ems are equal to abou, 40
coo separate pieces of metal, he will have
a basis upon which to calculate. To do
this one piece must be lifted in each
second, the time of justifying each line,
and transferring each stickful to a gall |
ley included. Should the match take |
place, and should either perform what
il is claimed he can do, it will surpass
anything before known of mechanical |
motion. The test copyis to be mes,
sage to the President, run into one solid
paragraph, and the type is to be Non,
pareil.

There are no indications as yet of a re-
vival of business. Absentces appear to be
in no hurry to return, The Brokers
Board will soon open again, but it will be
to a dreary list of transactions, unless
matters brighten speedily. The arrival of
cotton will help some Of our merchants
and factors immensely, and, diminishing
the demand for money, afford an opportu-
nity for something of a revival Of the trade
in stocks but it is impossible to predict
the course of the money market, in the
face Of the disturbed condition Of affairs
abroad. A big crop is expected, and the
question of the size of the demand is be-
coming O. most interesting subject for
cocitation. If it is solved favorably, we
shall have a huge trade, and every branch
Of our commerce will profit by it.

The New York Express saws:

Two significant facts incident to war are,
first. that Bismarck and MOltke never in
tended that a shot should be fired in Ger
many, and knew a month before the state
of the French army. Wherever horses and
provisions We're being gathered together for
the French, there was a Prussian agent
taking stock of the same. At Berlin, and
indeed throughout Germany, there were but
four persons admitted to know the plan of
invading France. and not allowing France
to invade Prussia. These were Bismarck,
Moltke, B%lumenthal and the King. The
secret was so well kept, that throughout
Europe all believed Prussia would have to
act on the defensive, and that the French
army would be fed on German ground. This
is one fact, and another is that between
Ills and 1864 Prussia grew in population
about eighty-twO per cent, or from ten mil
ions and a half, while France in the same
period showed a ratio of only twenty-five
per cent increase.

taken in block, and the apparently. low
figure resulted from the fact that the in

S455, and a parcel of $500 of the same was
disposed of at the advanced rate of 49,.
$1,000 new city seven per cent bonds

Five hundred dollars in State notes
were sold at IS. These notes are upon
the same footing as old warrants, and are

of $500 new State warrants at IS.
That inevitable lot of 10 shares Of
Slaughterhouse was again sold, bringing
this time SIT 37}. A good deal of differ
ence of opinion prevails upon the street
as to the present value of this stock, and
until sales become more frequent, or in
larger amounts, it will be impossible to
fix upon a trustworthy quotation after SO

A man named Skaggs, who had the
misfortune to be living at or neal st.
Louis, recently, is just now the subject of
many startling headlines to the effect
that "Skaggs is Dead" Just so. He
was hung, and in his efforts to stand on
air, broke his neck. That killed him. 1t
is a law of physiology that to break a
mans neck will kill him. Physiology has
been accepted as correct III this particu-
lar, and the law Of the land has con-
scented to trust the punishment of such
men as Skaggs to this law Of physiology.
It hangs the convicted murderer by the
neck until be is dead. And here the mat
ter ought to end. But the genius Of man
is never satisfied, for no sooner was
Skaggs treated to a broken neck than the
scientific buffers borrowed his body, and
proceeded to experiment whether they
could not revive the departed subject by
applying all sorts Of electric batteries to
him. They opened a cannonade ON his
head, body and extremities. His system
Lewis d. Campbell, who was in the
wal and won some fame, has joined the
Democracy, in Ohio, and his adhesion
has been rewarded with a nomination for
Congress. He now cones out against
the cost of printing and circulating the
Congressional Globe, as a Republican ex-
travagance, and demands that the same
be stopped. There are two points in this
objection that sustain Nj. Campbell with
great force. In the first place, the Globe
has been unfortunate enough to print his
Republican speeches, which were seldom
read, but still they afford strong argu-
ments against his present position. IL
the second place, the GLOBE contains one
of his speeches which was particularly
levelled at the Democrats, and in which
he declared, that having fought them for
thirty-fve years, he had never been able
to find two Democrats that had the same
principles. As a matter Of course, since
Campbell has Joined the Democrats, he
does not desire to have the Globe, that
contains these declarations. circulated
among the people be is now counting for
their votes. In the contest before the
election, oil the Republicans will have to

That newspaper hybrid, the Bee, blows hot
on the French side and cold on the English,
for the cause of France. Because England
is beginning to manifest indignation at the
Prussian protest in reference to Births
neutrality. That journal ranges itself on
the side of Prussia in the following words:
We hope Prussia will hold her to a
strict account, for a more selfish, deceitful
and ungrateful people never lived than the
English, unless, indeed, it be the Yankees
who pattern after the English, and better
their instructions.
We fancy the Creole and French subscri-
hers of the Bee will find some difficulty in
swallowing this. As for the amiable fling
at our Yankee friends, that is some Of the
venom which the old oligarchy at its last
gasp still spits forth. 1t still requires a
few more doses of reconstruction to put
it right.
