A pungent, as we'll as conclusive, letter is
published in the June number Of the Galaxy,
from Judge Black. Of Pa, to Mr.. Wilson, one
of the Massachusetts, Senators, 10 relation to the
war record" of the late Mr.. E. NJ. Stanton,
and his antecedents. Mr.. Wilson, by his I'm.
fortunate attempt to defend his friend, has
exposed himself to the most scathing criticism.
Mr., Stanton is dead-and, therelore, people
do not desire, particularly, to speak of him.
But everybody knows he was. previous to be-
ing taken up by Mr.. Lincoln, Democrat, a
States Rights man, an anti abolitionist, &c.

The Richmond Wing properly pays tribute
THURSDAY, JUNE 2. 1870.

The Richmond Wing properly pays tribute
of praise to the able speech OF Senator John
son of this State, delivered when the Enforce
ment bill was usder discussion. We have
already given some extracts from this speech.
We think we have copied once before what
Senator johnson said about Rebels '-but we
will COPY it again: "Mr. johnson points out
how it came to pass that the Southern people
sided with their State governments in the lite
civi! war. They were educated from the founda
ton of the Government in the faith that while
they owed obedience merely to the laws OF thu
u. s., their allegiance was due to their State
governments, and, being thus educated; when
the question came to those people OF siding
with the United States or siding with their
State. it was not question Of rebellion against
the United States, but of rebellion against
their own State-and that thus the term
rebel in the offensive and criminal sense. had
no application to them as it would have in
European Countries

Gleason, one of the late Fcnian leaders, was
the very kind of a man to bring the "Fenian

in Virginia? IF they were, and yet permitted
him to head their forces, or any portion of them,
they could have expected nothing but disaster.

A good joke comes from Washington,
10 the effect that the President has com
menced the preparation of his annual
message, and will devote the greater part
Of every day hereafter to that until it's
completion. Judging from the Prcsi-
dents previous essays in letter writing,
it promises to be rather extraordinary
document. He doubtless prepares it as
ship captain reefs topsails fuses
around and looks on while somebody
else does it. We venture the assertion
Shat President Grants brilliant intellect
will have as little to do with its compost
tiou as the fire on the tip of his cigar,
and if he ever understands it after being
written, lie will rejoice in a novel sensa-
tion.

cd. We are informed by member OF

authentic returns have been received
from all the Counties, that the State is
thoroughly redeemed from the hands OF
the despoilers. The Democratic candi.
dates for Congress and Lieutenant Go
vernon, have been elected by between
swo and three hundred majority, while
The Democrats have clear majority. not
counting independents, of from five to
six in the House, and from one to two in
The Senate. This will give the people of
Florida, once moro, complete control OF
their. own State Affairs. Should R..,i

and We hope he will not, he will be pow.

tors of thieves and conspirators have
reached tie end OF their harvest, and we
advise them to pack up their carpet-bags
and leave the State when they may do
so with safety.

SERIOUS AFFRAY.--Wo regret to an
nounce serious ARRAY which occurred
in the lower part of the District, near
"Trickam," on Thursday OF the past
week, and resulted in the death of Ansel
G. Tolbert. It seems that stock log
had been sent by Thomas B. Tolbert to
the mill OF Joseph w. Cook to be sawed,
which for some reason had not been re-
ceived. Cook came into the field where
the brothers were sowing wheat, and de-
manded So. 40, which Tolbert refused to
pay. An alteration arose, and Cook
drew his revolver and discharged it twice
ut Thomas B. Tolbert, wounding him SO.
riously in the neck and shoulder and
arm. The latter then escaped, and also
negro man who was with them. Ansel
G. Tolbert stood his ground and received
mortal wound in the pit Of his stomach,
and also blow on the top of his head.
In contradiction of various false ru-
mors, we would state, on the authority
OF the acting Coroner, that there was no
political issue involved in the quarrel.

The radical leaders no longer attempt
any ooneealment of the desperate straits
to which shey are reduced. the gradually
spreading treason in their own camp,
che popular verdict rendered against
thems In the late elections, are all too
palpable and dangerous to be longer
ignored. Accordingly, we find President
Grant assailed from every quarter with
new advice and new policies. Always a
blunderer, even while sailing in the
plainest political sea, not much reliance
tan be placed upon his judgment in the
present difficult emergency. He is des-
tined to fall the victim OF one or other
Of the cabals now focking to Washing
ton. He will either make an open endea-
vor to join the ultra protective policy OF
Kelly, Chandler, Soho6eld s. Co., throw
himself into the arms of the torch and
turpentine carpet-faction, which Forney
leads, or, in desperation, yield assent to
Buffers belligerent attitude upon the
Alabama question. It is difficult to tell
which would prove the greater blunder,
and certainly salvation will be found in
neither. The fact is. the reign of radi.
eatism is over in this country; the late
elections merely exhibited the changing
ripple Of. public opinion which preoedes
the great tidal wave of '72, destined to
sweep it into oblivion.

The EIGHTH ARTICLE OF THE TREATY
OF PARIS. The eigth article of the now
famous treaty of Paris provides that "if
there should arise between the Sublime
Porte and one or more of the other sign
ing powers any misunderstanding which
might endanger the maintenance of their
relations, the Sublime Porte and each of
such powers, before having recourse to
the use of force, shall afford the other
contracting parties an opportunity of
preventing such an extremity by means
of their mediator. Among Russias
many complaints against the treaty of
Paris one is that this eighth article has
been repeatedly disregarded. It's object
was to prevent war. How it has failed
OF its purpose, remarks the Now York
Herald, all the world knows. It was dis
regaded in 1859, when Napoleon went to
war with Austria. It was set aside in
1866, when Prussia rushed upon Austria
and crushed her at Sadowa. It was re-
spected in 1867, when the Luxembourg
trouble led to the London conference.
1t was set OF naught by Napoleon, whom
ho declared war upon Prussia, in the
present year 1870.
The object of the article was unoues-
tionably good, but it's practical value
has been equal to nothing.

AURORA BOREALIs. aurora bore
alis of unusual splendor, observed in the
United States on the evening of Mon
day, October "a, and described in the
Ledger of the next day, was also seen in
England. and accounts Of the phenome-
non are given in English papers of sub
sequent dates. A correspondent of the
Times, at Worcester, says that it was one
of the most startling and grand displays
ever recorded in that purt of the coun-
try. At o'clock he says the aurora was
magnificent beyond description. A
brilliant rosy light pervaded ono-half of
the heavens from East to West, and ap-
peared not only as thin, feecy clouds,
but in jets and columns, shooting up
wards and concentrating in point i'm
mediately overhead. Two great dis
charges of these corruscations appeared
shooting mp from the Northeast and
from the Northwest and meeting in the
zenith. Accounts from other places
give animated descriptions of the aurora;
but the appearance Of the heavens, as
seen in England, does not appear to have
been as brilliant as it was in the United
States. Auroras were also seen on Tues
day evening. October 25, in England, as
we'll as in this country. The working of
the electric telegraph lines was also
seriously interfered with i'll England.
both by day and at night It ulhy be
remembered that these electrical phe-
nomena were observed in the United
States on the evenings previous to Octo-
ber 81, and that an earthquake was felt
through Canada, the New England
States and Northern New Nork on Ooto-
Der 2O.-Philadelphia Ledger.
